  • Options
  • A. 36
  • B. 72
  • C. 100
  • D. 60

  • Correct Answer
  • 72 

    Explanation

    Let Ram spends p minute on each Mathematics question.
    According to the question.
    50 x p + 100 x p/2 + 50 x p/2 = 3 x 60
    p(50+ 50 + 25) = 180
    ? p = 180/125
    ? Required time = 50 x 180/125
    ? Required time = 2 x 180/5
    ? Required time = 2 x 36 = 72 min

    Method 2
    Let Ram spends a minute on each sciences and Gk questions.
    According to the question,
    50 x 2a + 150 x a = 3 x 60
    100a + 150a = 180
    250a = 180
    a = 180/250
    So total time spend on Mathematics question = 2a x 50 question
    So total time spend on Mathematics question = 2 x 50 x 180/250 = 72 minutes
