- Question
- In a town 80% of the population are adults of which the men and women are in the ratio of 9 : 7, respectively. If the number of adult women is 4.2 lakh, what is the total population of the town?
Options- A. 12 lakh
- B. 9.6 lakh
- C. 9.8 lakh
- D. 11.6 lakh
- Correct Answer
- 12 lakh
Explanationlet the number of adult men be N.
Then, ratio of the numbers of adult men and adult women
9 : 7 = N : 4.2
? N = (9/7) x 4.2 = 5.4 Lakh
Total adult population = 4.2 + 5.4 = 9.6 lakh.
If the population of the town be M Lakh,
then, 80M/100 = 9.6
? M = (9.6 x 100)/80 = 12 lakh - 1. In a race of 600 m, A can beat B by 60 m and in a race of 500 m, B can beat C by 50 m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 400 m?

- B. 254 m
- C. 324 m
- D. 354 m Discuss

Correct Answer: 324 m
Explanation:
Clearly, if A runs 600 meters, B runs = 540 m.
? If A runs 400 m, B runs = 540 x 400 / 600 = 540 x 4 / 6 = 90 x 4 = 360 m
Again, when B runs 500 m, C runs = 450 m
? When B runs 360 m, C runs = 450 x 360 / 500 = 45 x 36 / 5 = 9 x 36 = 324 m.
? A beats C by 400 - 324 = 76 m.
Correct Answer: 775
Explanation:
36.98276421 x 21.00002
Using nearest value in whole number for 36.9827421 is 37 and 21.0002 is 21
? 37 x 21 = 777 ? 775
Correct Answer: 1 ?BAC 2
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 0
Explanation:
Unit digit in (6374) 1793 = Unit digit in (4) 1793
= Unit digit in [(42)896 x 4]
= Unit digit in (6 x 4) = 4
Unit digit in (625)317 = Unit digit in (5)317 = 5
Unit digit in (341)491 = Unit digit in (1)491 = 1
Required digit = Unit digit in (4 x 5 x 1) = 0.
Correct Answer: 30
Explanation:
| Speed of the train relative to man | = (63 - 3) km/hr | |||||||
| = 60 km/hr | ||||||||
|
||||||||
|

| = 30 sec. |
Correct Answer: 4 : 3
Explanation:
Let us name the trains as A and B. Then,
(A's speed) : (B's speed) = √b : √a = √16 : √9 = 4 : 3.
Correct Answer: 3 min
Explanation:
| Total distance covered |

Correct Answer: 202860
Explanation:
45 = 5 x 9, where 5 and 9 are co-primes.
Unit digit must be 0 or 5 and sum of digits must be divisible by 9.
Among given numbers, such number is 202860.
Correct Answer: 4155
Explanation:
Let 7589 -x = 3434
Then, x = 7589 - 3434 = 4155
Correct Answer: 55°
Explanation:
At 11 : 50 A.M. from the formula here P = 11 and Q = 50 so required angle is 11 x 50/2 - 30 x 11 = 275 - 330 = -55 or ignoring the negative sign the required angle is 55°
