- Question
- There are five hobby clubs in a college viz. photography, yachting, chess, electronics and gardening. The gardening group meets every second day, the electronics group meets every third day, the chess group meets every fourth day, the yachting group meets every fifth day and the photography group meets every sixth day. How many times do all the five groups meets on the same day within 180 days?
Options- A. 3
- B. 5
- C. 10
- D. 18
- Correct Answer
- 3
ExplanationGardening group meets once in 2 days, electronics group meets once in 3 days, chess group meets once in 4 days, yachting group meets once in 5 days and the photography group meets once in 6 days.
If they meet on the same day at one time, then the next time they will meet on same day again will be the LCM of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 which is equal to 60.
Hence, within 180 days all the five groups will meet on the same day = 180/60 = 3 times. - 1. The product of two consecutive odd numbers is 19043. Which is the smaller one?

Correct Answer: 137
Explanation:
Let the two consecutive numbers are N and N+2
According to the question
N (N + 2) = 19043
? N2 + 2N - 19043 = 0
? N2 + 139N - 137N - 19043= 0
? N( N + 139) - 137 ( N - 137 ) = 0
? N( N + 139) ( N - 137) = 0
? N = 137 and N = - 139
? N = 137
Correct Answer: a tan ? cosec A 2
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 10 hours
Explanation:
A will reach at starting point in 5 * 2 / 5 = 2 hours ;
B will reach at starting point in 5 / 3 hours ;
C will reach at starting point in 5 / 2 hours ;
Then, on the starting point all three will meet after the L.C.M. of 2, 5 / 3, 5 / 2, 10 / 1 = 10 hours.
Correct Answer: 31.68 km/hr.
Explanation:
Circumference = 2?r
= 2 x (22 / 7) x 70 cm
= 440 cm
Distance travelled in 10 revolutions = 440 x 10 cm
= 4400 cm
= 44 m
? Speed = distance / time
= 44 / 5 m/sec
= (44 / 5) x (18 / 5) km/hr
= 31.68 km/hr
Correct Answer: 120
Explanation:
Regarding all copies of the same book as one book, we have only 5 books. These 5 books can be arranged in 5! ways. But all copies of the same book being identical can be arranged in only one way.
? Required number = 5! x 1! x 1! x 1! x 1! = 120
Correct Answer: 20/3
Explanation:
We known that,
LCM of fractions = (LCM of numerators) / (HCF of denominators)
? Required LCM = (LCM of 1, 2, 5, and 4) / (HCF of 3, 9, 6 and 27)
? = 20/3
Correct Answer: 440 m
Explanation:
The speed of A and B are in the ratio 11 : 8.
Let, speeds be 11s and 8s (in m/sec).
Let, race be of P meter.
Then, time taken by A to run P meter is same as that of B to run (P - 120) meter.
? P / 11 = (P - 120) / 8
? P / 11 = (P - 120 / 8
? 8P = 11 x (P - 120 )
? 8P = 11P - 120 x 11
? 11P - 8P = 120 x 11
? 3P = 11 × 120
? P = 440.
Correct Answer: 10000
Explanation:
? = 124.35% of 8096
= (8096 x 124.35)/100 = 1006737.6/100
= 10067.376 = 10000
Correct Answer: 0.6990
Explanation:
log105 = log10(10/2)
= log1010 - log102
= 1-0.3010
= 0.6990
Correct Answer: 5th Friday
Explanation:
Friday will fall on 3, 10, 17, 24, 31
So, it will be 5th Friday on 31 st
