  • Question
  • There are 200 question in a 3 hour examination. Among 200 question, 50 are Mathematics, 100 are from GK and 50 are from Sciences. Ram spent twice as much time on each Mathematics question for each other question. How many minute did he spend on Mathematics questions?


  • 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
