- Question
- 15 men would finish a piece of work in 210 days. But at the end of every 10 days. 15 additional men are employed. In how many days will it be finished?
Options- A. 30 days
- B. 70 days
- C. 35 days
- D. 60 days
- Correct Answer
- 60 days
Explanation10 day's work by 15 men = 10/210 = 1/21
At the end of every 10 days 15 additional men are employed i.e., for the next 10 days we have 15 + 15 = 30 men
? Next 10 day's work by 30 men = 2/21
Hence in 20 days only (1/21 + 2/21) = 3/21 work is completed
To complete the whole work we have to reach the value of (21/21) work.
Now, (1/21) + (2/21) + (3/21) + ......... (6/21) = 21/21 = 1
Hence total time to complete the whole wok 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 = 60 days - 1. It takes eight hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car. It takes 20 minutes more, if 200 km is done by train and the rest by car. The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the cars is:

Correct Answer: 3 : 4
Explanation:
| Then, | 120 | + | 480 | = 8 ⟹ | 1 | + | 4 | = | 1 | ....(i) |
| x | y | x | y | 15 |
| And, | 200 | + | 400 | = | 25 | ⟹ | 1 | + | 2 | = | 1 | ....(ii) |
| x | y | 3 | x | y | 24 |
Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60 and y = 80.
∴ Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.
Correct Answer: 11 %
Explanation:
Simple Interest in 1 year= Rs (1729 - 1586)
= Rs 143
now, SI in 2 year = Rs 286
Principal P= Rs(1586 - 286)
= 1300
And R= (100 × SI)/(P × T)
= (100 × 143)/(1300 × 1)
= 11 %
where, R = rate
SI= Simple Interest
P = Principal
T= Time
Correct Answer: None of these
Explanation:
(21+ 99) x (30 - 19.02)
? (21+ 99 ) x (30 - 19)
? 120 x 11 = 1320
Correct Answer: 20
Explanation:
When A scores 75 points, B scores 50 points.
When A scores 90 points, C scores (90 - 18) = 72 points.
? When A scores 75 points, C scores = 72 × 75 / 90 = 60 points.
A : B : C = 75 : 50 : 60
C : B = 60 / 50 = 120 / 100
So, in a game of 120, C can give B
(120 - 100) = 20 points.
Correct Answer: 17
Explanation:
Average = sum of 6 numbers / 6
= ( 13 + 17 + 25 + 11 + 26 + 10 ) / 6
= 102 / 6
= 17
Correct Answer: 60 litres
Explanation:
Here w = 2 litres per hour
? Required answer = {(15 x 10) / (15 - 10)} x 2 = 60 litres.
Correct Answer: 152?3
Explanation:
a + b + c = 11 x 3 = 33 .....(i)
c + d + e = 17 x 3 = 51 .....(ii)
e + f = 22 x 2 = 44 .....(iii)
e + c = 17 x 2 = 34 .....(iv)
From Eqs. (ii) and (iv), we get
34 + d = 51
? d = 17
Now adding Eqs. (i), (ii), (v), we get
a + b + c + d + e + f = 33 + 44 + 17 = 94
? Average of a, b, c, d, e and f = 94/6 = 152?3
Correct Answer: ? 12,000
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 16 years
Explanation:
| Then, | (6x + 6) + 4 | = | 11 |
| (5x + 6) + 4 | 10 |
⟹ 10(6x + 10) = 11(5x + 10)
⟹ 5x = 10
⟹ x = 2.
∴ Sagar's present age = (5x + 6) = 16 years.
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Let (17.28 ÷ N ) / (3.6 x 0.2) = 2
Then, 17.28 / N = 1.44
? N = 17.28 / 1.44
= 12
