- Question
- A, B, C and D purchase a gift worth ? 60. A pays 1/2 of what others are paying, B pays 1/3rd of what other are paying and C pays 1/4th of what others are paying. What is the amount paid by D?
Options- A. 14
- B. 15
- C. 16
- D. 13
- Correct Answer
- 13
ExplanationLet A, B, C and D pay ?x, ?y, ?z and ?a
According to the question,
x = 1/2(y + z + a)
2x = (y + z + a) ..........(i)
y = 1/3(x + z + a)
3y = (x + z + a) ...........(ii)
z = 1/4(x + y + a)
4z = (x + y + a) ..........(iii)
Also, x + y + z + a = 60 ...............(iv)
Now, put the value of x + y + a = 4z from (iii) in (iv)
Then, 4z + z = 60 ? 5z = 60
? z = 12
Similarly, on putting the value of x + z + a = 3y from (ii) in (iv), we get
3y + y = 60 = ? 4y = 60
? y = 15
Again, on putting the value of (y + z + a) = 2x from (i) in (iv), we get
2x + x = 60 ? 3x = 60
&ther4; x = 20
Now, x + y + z + a = 60
On putting the value of x, y and z, we get
12 + 15 + 20 + a = 60
? a = 60 - 47 = ? 13 - 1. A and B together can complete a work in 3 days. They started together but after 2 days, B left the work. If the work is completed after 2 more days, B alone could do the work in how many days?

Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
(A + B)'s 2 day's work = 2 x (1/3) = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 - (2/3) = 1/3
A will complete 1/3 work in 2
A will complete 1 work in 6
A's 1 days work = 1/6
B's 1 day's work = (1/3) - (1/6) = 1/6
? B will take 6 days to complete the work alone.
Correct Answer: 28 meters
Explanation:
Distance covered in one revolution = total distance travelled / total number of revolution.
= ( 88 x 1000) / 1000 m
= 88 m
We know that the distance covered in one revolution = circumference of the wheel.
? ?d = 88
? 22d / 7 = 88
? d = 28 m
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
So, 36 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 1.28
Explanation:
Given expression = (.896 x .752 +.896 x .248) / (.7 x .034 + .7 x.966)
=.[896 x (.752+.248)] / [.7 x (.034+.966)]
= .(896 x 1) / ( .700 x 1)
=896/700
= 1.28
Correct Answer: 48 km/hr
Explanation:
Average speed =2 x 40 x 60 / ( 40+ 60)
= 4800 / 100
= 48 km/hr
Correct Answer: Saturday
Explanation:
Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days.
So, after 63 days, it will be Monday.
After 61 days, it will be Saturday.
Correct Answer: 8500
Explanation:
9548 16862 = 8362 + x + 7314 x = 16862 - 8362 ----- = 8500 16862 -----
Correct Answer: ? 312
Explanation:
We know that
BG = SI on TD = (240 x 30 x 1 x 1)/100
= ? 72
BG = BD - TD
? BD = BG + TD
= 72 + 240
= ? 312
Correct Answer: May
Explanation:
If previous year is leap year then calendar of May is similar to July
Correct Answer: 1/2 , 3/4
Explanation:
In tossing a coin 2 times the sample space is 4 i,e (H, H), (H, T), (T, H), (T, T)
(1) If A1 denotes exactly one head
then A1 = {(H, T) (T, H) }
So, P(A1 ) = 2/4 = 1/2
(2) If A denotes at least one head
then A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H)}
? A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H )}
? P(A) = 3/4
