More questions
Correct Answer: 4.14 Km/h
Explanation:
Time taken by A to cover 100 meters
= 100 ÷ (5 * 5 / 18) = 72 seconds.
? B covers (100 - 8) or, 92 meters in (72 + 8) or, 80 seconds.
? Speed of B = ( 92 / 80 ) * ( 16 / 5 ) = 4.14 Km/h.
Correct Answer: 35 sec
Explanation:
? Speed of the train = 72 km/hr = 72 x (5/18) = 20 m/sec.
Sum of the length of the train and tunnel = 540 + 160 = 700 metres.
? Required time taken to pass the tunnel = Time taken to cover 700 metres at 20 m/sec.
= 700/20
= 35 sec.
Correct Answer: 176
Explanation:
Area of the room =(544 x 374) cm2
size of largest square tile = H.C.F. of 544 & 374
= 34 cm
Area of 1 tile = (34 x 34) cm2
? Least number of tiles required
= (544 x 374) / (34 x 34) = 176
Correct Answer: 55.55 m/sec
Explanation:
Speed in km/ hour =200
Speed in m/sec = 200 x 5/18 = 500/9 m/sec = 55.55 m/sec
Correct Answer: 14
Explanation:
The number '14' is the only EVEN number.
Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Correct Answer:
Explanation:
The average number of pens and pencils = 180
? Totol number of pens and pencils = 180 x 2 = 360
? Total number of pencils in the shop = 360 x (2/5) = 144
? 30% of 144 = (30/100) x 144 = 43.2 = 43
= 43 (approx)
Correct Answer: 50 yr
Explanation:
According to the question,
Average age of man and his twin sons = 30
? Total age = 30 x 3 = 90 yr.
According to the question,
Ratio of father and one son = 5 : 2
? Ratio of father and both the sons = 5 : 2 : 2
(As sons are born on the same day.)
? 5k + 2k + 2k = 90 or 9k = 90
? k = 10
? Age of father = 5 x 10 = 50 yr.
Correct Answer: 12 days
Explanation:
| (A + B)'s 1 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | + | 1 | ❩ | = | 1 | . |
| 15 | 10 | 6 |
| Work done by A and B in 2 days = | ❨ | 1 | x 2 | ❩ | = | 1 | . |
| 6 | 3 |
| Remaining work = | ❨ | 1 - | 1 | ❩ | = | 2 | . |
| 3 | 3 |
| Now, | 1 | work is done by A in 1 day. |
| 15 |
| ∴ | 2 | work will be done by a in | ❨ | 15 x | 2 | ❩ | = 10 days. |
| 3 | 3 |
Hence, the total time taken = (10 + 2) = 12 days.
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
Sum of 11 numbers = 36 x 11 = 396
Sum of 9 numbers = 34 x 9 = 306
Sum of remaining two numbers =396 - 306 = 90
? The smaller number = (2 x 90)/(2 + 3) = 180/5 = 36
