- B. 7:12 pm
- C. 8:12 pm
- D. 8:35 pm
- Correct Answer
- 7:12 pm
ExplanationLet the cistern gets emptied in m h after 3:pm
Work done by A in m h, by B in (m - 1) h and by c in (m - 2) h= 0
? m/3 + (m - 1)/4 - (m - 2) = 0
? 4m + 3(m - 1) - 12(m - 2) = 0
? 5m = 21
? m = 21/5 = 4.2
? m = 4 h 12 min
? Required time = 7 : 12 pm. - 1. If the Price of 6 toys is Rs. 264.37, What will be the approximate price (Rs) of 5 toys?

? Price of 5 toys is Rs. 44 x 5 .
? Price of 5 toys is Rs. 220.
Correct Answer: 100 m
Explanation:
Ratio of the speeds of A and B = 5 : 3
Thus, in a race of 5m, A gains 2 m over B.
2 m are gained by A in a race of 5 m.
40 m will be gained by A in a race of (5/2) x 40 m = 100 m
? Winning post is 100 m away from the starting point.
Correct Answer: 2 km/hr
Explanation:
Velocity of stream = (downstream velocity - upstream velocity)/2
= (60/10 - 60/30)/2
= 2 km/hr
Correct Answer: 16 years
Explanation:
Let their ages one years ago be 4x and 3x years.
? (4x + 2)/(3x + 2) = 5 / 4
? 4(4x + 2) = 5(3x + 2)
? x = 2
? Sum of their present ages = (4x + 1) + (3x + 1) = 16 years
Correct Answer: 757704
Explanation:
Required number
= 786 x 964 = 757704
Correct Answer: Rs. 60
Explanation:
Let the C.P. be Rs. x
Then 2(69 - x) / 100 = (78 - x) / 100
? 138 - 2x = 78 - x
? x = 60
? C.P. = Rs. 60
Correct Answer: 35
Explanation:
Score of A = 100 points
Score of B = 65 points
? A can give (100 - 65 ) = 35 points to B.

Let N = 312 x 28
? log N = 12 x log3 + 8 x log 2
? log N = 12 x 0.47712 + 8 x 0.30103
? log N = 8.13368
? No.of digits = 8 + 1 = 9
Correct Answer: 25000
