- Question
80 litres of diesel is required to travel 800 km using a 800 cc engine. If the volume of diesel required to cover a distance varies directly as the capacity of the engine, then how many litres of diesel is required to travel 1000 kms using 1200 cc engine ?
Options- A. 120 lit
- B. 140 lit
- C. 110 lit
- D. 150 lit
- Correct Answer
- 150 lit
ExplanationTo cover a distance of 800 kms using a 800 cc engine, the amount of diesel required = 80 litres.
=> the amount of diesel required to cover a distance of 1000 kms = 1000 x 80/800 = 100 litres
However, the vehicle uses a 1200 cc engine and it is given that the amount of diesel required varies directly as the engine capacity.
i.e., for instance, if the capacity of engine doubles, the diesel requirement will double too.
Therefore, with a 1200 cc engine, quantity of diesel required = 1200/800 x 100 = 150 litres.

Correct Answer:
| 22 | 1 | days |
| 2 |
Explanation:
The time difference is (3 - 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A takes 1 day.
If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days.
| If difference of time is 60 days, B takes | ❨ | 3 | x 60 | ❩ | = 90 days. |
| 2 |
So, A takes 30 days to do the work.
| A's 1 day's work = | 1 |
| 30 |
| B's 1 day's work = | 1 |
| 90 |
| (A + B)'s 1 day's work = | ❨ | 1 | + | 1 | ❩ | = | 4 | = | 2 |
| 30 | 90 | 90 | 45 |
| ∴ A and B together can do the work in | 45 | = 22 | 1 | days. |

Correct Answer: 23 min
Explanation:
Distance between Raipur and Somgarh
= Average speed x Time
= 69 x 35/60= 161/4 km
New speed = (69 + 36) km/h = 105 km/h
? Time = Distance/ Speed = 161/4 x 105 h
= 161 x 60/4 x 105min = 23 min
Correct Answer: 400
Explanation:
Let the number of soldiers transferred be N
Now, the food would last for 25 days for (2000 - N) soldiers.
Less men, More days (indirect proportion)
25 : 20 : : 2000 : (2000 - N)
? 2000 - N = (2000 x 20)/25
? 2000 - N = 1600
? N = 2000 - 1600 = 400
Correct Answer: 32
Explanation:
The required greatest number is the HCF of (263 - 7, 935 - 7, 1383 - 7)
i.e., HCF of 256, 928 and 1376 = 32
Correct Answer: 640
Explanation:
Let the number be 16a and 16b, where a and be are two number prime to each other.
? 16a x 16b = 7168
? ab = 28
Now, the pairs of number whose products is 28, are (28, 1) : (14, 2), (7,4)
14 and 2 which are not prime to each other should be rejected.
Hence, the required answer
= (448 + 16) + (112 + 64) = 640
Correct Answer: 11.9 m
Explanation:
In a 800 meter race, A covers 800 meter while B cover 760 meter.
? A covers 200 m while B will cover 760 x 200 / 800 = 190 m
Again, B covers 500 m while C 495 m
? B covers 190 m while C will cover = 495 x 190 / 500 = 188.10 m
Since, A covers 200 m while C 188.10 m
Hence, A will beat C by (200 ? 188.10) = 11.9 m
Correct Answer: ? 4000
Explanation:
Given. ratio = 7/2 : 4/3 : 6/5
= (7/2) x 30 : (4/3) x 30 : (6/5) x 30
= 105 : 40 : 36
Let investment of Amitabh = 105k
Investment of Kamlesh = 36k
Ratio of their investments
= [105k x 4 + 150% x8 of 105k] : (40k x 12) : (36k x 12)
= (420k + (150/100) x 105k x 8) : (480k) : (432k)
= (1680k) : (480k) : (432k)
= 35 : 10 : 9
? Brijesh's share
= (21600 x 10) / (35 + 10 + 9)

In 4 minute, 10 identical machines can produce a total of 1800 bottles.
Correct Answer: Rs. 1180
Explanation:
Let money lent at 12% Rs. P
Then, money lent at 121/2% = Rs. (2540 - P )
? (P x 12 x 1)/100 + {(2540 - P) x 25/2 x 1}/100 = 311.60
? 3P/25 + 2540 - P/8 = 311.60
? 24P + 25(2540 - P) = 200 x 311.60
? P = 63500 - 62320 = 1180
Correct Answer: Rs. 176, Rs. 16
Explanation:
160 = ?1600 x B.G.
? B.G. = (160 x 160)/1600 = Rs. 16
? Banker's discount = 160 + 16 = Rs. 176
[? B.D. = T.D. + B.G.]
