- Question
- Three pipes A, B and C can fill a cistern in 10 hours, 12 hours and 15 hours respectively. First A was opened. After 1 hour, B was opened and after 2 hours from the start of A, C also opened . Find the time in which the cistern is just full?
Options- A. 2 hrs.
- B. 4 hrs.
- C. 2 hrs. 52 min.
- D. 4 hrs. 52 min.
- Correct Answer
- 4 hrs. 52 min.
Explanation[(A's 1 hour work) + (A + B)'s 1 hour work]
= (1/10) + [(1/10) + (1/12)] = 17/60
Remaining part = 1 - (17/60) = 43/60
Now, (A + B + C)'s 1 hour work = (1/10) + (1/12) + (1/15) = 1/4
1/4 part is filled by 3 pipes in 1 hour.
43/60 part will be filled by them in 4 x (43/60) hrs. = 2 hours 52 min.
? Total time taken to fill the cistern = 4 hours 52 min. - 1. Find the present worth of a bill of Rs. 2420 due 2 years later at 10% compound interest. Also find the true discount?

Correct Answer: Rs. 2000, Rs. 420
Explanation:
Here sum is put on compound interest,
? P.W. = A / (1 + r / 100)n = 2420 / (1 + 10 / 100)2 = 2420 x 100 / 121 = Rs. 2000
? T.D. = P.W. - P
? True discount = 2420 - 2000 = Rs. 420

Correct Answer: 41
Explanation:
The given number series follows the pattern that,
24×0 + 4 = 4
4×1 + 9 = 13
13×2 + 16 = 42
42×3 + 25 = 151
151×4 + 36 = 640
Therefore, the odd number in the given series is 41
Correct Answer: 165
Explanation:
From the beginning, the next term comes by adding prime numbers in a sequence of 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13... to its previous term. But 165 will not be in the series as it must be replaced by 166 since 153+13 = 166.
Correct Answer: 64

The given number series follows a pattern that
196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, ?
-27 -25 -23 -21 -19 -17
=> 81 - 17 = 64
Therefore, the series is 196, 169, 144, 121, 100, 81, 64.
