- Question
- 12 men and 16 boys can do a piece of work in 5 days while 13 men and 24 boys finish it in 4 days. 5 men and 10 boys will finish it in?
Options- A. 10 days
- B. 12 days
- C. 9 days
- D. 15 days
- Correct Answer
- 10 days
Explanation(12 men + 16 boys) can do a work in 5 days.
(60 men + 80 boys) can do a work in 1 day.
(13 men + 24 boys) can do a work in 4 days.
(52 men + 96 boys) can do a work in 1 day.
? 60 men + 80 boys = 52 men + 96 boys
8 men = 16 boys and 1 man = 2 boys
Now, 12 men + 16 boys = (12 x 2 + 16) boys
= 40 boys can do the work in 5 days
? 5 men + 10 boys = [5 x 2 + 10] boys
= 20 boys will take
= (40 x 5)/20 = 10 days - 1. The length of each side of an equilateral triangle having an area of 4?3 cm 2 is?

Correct Answer: 4 cm
Explanation:
Area of equilateral triangle = ?3/4 a2 = 4?3.
? a2 = 16
? a = 4 cm
Correct Answer: 54 yr
Explanation:
Here, n = 2, m =10, T1 = 6 yr, T2 = ?
? T2 = [(m - 1) / (n - 1)] x T1
= [(10 - 1)/(2 - 1)] x 6
= 54 yr
Correct Answer: ? 1000
Explanation:
Given, SI1 - SI2 = 110,
T1 = 2 Yr,
T2 = 1 yr, R1 = 8%, R2 = 5%
According to the question,
[(P x 8 x 2)/100] - [(P x 5 x 1)/100] = 110
? 11P/100 = 110
? P = ? 1000
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
Let the positive number be N.
According to the question,
N + 10 = 200 / N
? N2 + 10N = 200
? N2 +10N - 200 =0
? (N - 10)(N + 20) = 0
? N = 10 & N= -20
But N not equal to -20 since N is a positive number
So, the required number is 10
Correct Answer: 112/3 %
Explanation:
Let the sum be p
Then, for R = 5%
SI = (4p - p) = 3p
? 3p = (P x 5 x T)/100 = PT/20
? T = 60 yr
Again, for another rate (R)
SI = (8P - P) = 7P
? 7P = (P x R x 60)/100
? R = (7 x 100)/60 = 35/3%
= 112/3 %
Correct Answer: ? 102648
Explanation:
Here, P = ? 65800, R = 14% T = 4 yr
Hence, SI = (65800 x 14 x 4) / 100 =? 36848
? Required amount = P + SI
= 65800 + 36848
= ? 102648
Correct Answer: ?93
Explanation:
Cost of 5 pens + 8 pencils = ?31
On multiplying by 3
15 pens + 24 pencils = 3 x 31 =
?15 pens + 24 pencils = 93
Correct Answer: 5?63 sq cm
Explanation:
Given that, a = 8 cm, b = 10 cm and c = 12 cm
We know, that
s = (a + b + c)/2
= (8 + 10 + 12)/2
= 30/2 = 15 cm
? (s - a) = (15 - 8) = 7 cm
(s - b) = (15 - 10) = 5 cm
(s - c) = (15 - 12) = 3 cm
? Area = ?s(s - a) (s - b) (s - c)
= ?15 x 7 x 5 x 3
= ?1575
= ?25 x 63
= 5?63 cm
Correct Answer: ? 2200
Explanation:
Let each sum be ? P then,
(P x 10 x 5)/100 - (P x 10 x 4)/100 = 220
? P/10 = 220
? P = 2200
Hence, each sum is ? 2200.
Correct Answer: 652
Explanation:
Let the number be N.
According to the question,
N - (N x 3/4) =163
? N/4 =163
? N=652
