- Question
- In a game, A can give B 20 points, A can give C 32 points and B can give C 15 points. How many points make the game?
Options- A. 100
- B. 200
- C. 300
- D. 400
- Correct Answer
- 100
ExplanationSuppose, P points make the game.
Clearly, when A scores P points, B scores (P - 20) points and C scores (P - 32) points.
Now, when B scores P points, C scores (P - 15) points.
When B scores (P - 20) points,
C scores [( P - 15 ) / P * P (P - 20)] points
? (P - 15)( P - 20) / P = P - 20 or, P = 100
Hence, 100 points make the game. - 1. In a Km race A beats B by 25 m or 5 sec. Then find out the time taken by A to complete the race.

Correct Answer: 3 minutes 15 seconds
Explanation:
B runs 25 m in 5 seconds.
? B's time to cover 1 Km = 5 x 100 / 25 = 200 sec
A's time to cover one Km = 200 - 5 = 195 seconds
= 3 minutes 15 seconds.
Correct Answer: 95 sec.
Explanation:
From the question it is clear that speed of B = 15 / 5 = 3 m/s
The time taken by B to cover 300 m = 300 / 3 = 100 sec.
Hence, time taken by A to complete the race = 100 ? 5 = 95 sec.
Correct Answer: 25 points
Explanation:
In a game of 250 points, A scores 250 then B scores 200 points and C scores 180.
? B scores 250 points while C scores 180 x 250 / 200 = 225 points
Hence, in a game of 250 points B can give C (250 ? 225) = 25 points
Correct Answer: 3111?19 m
Explanation:
In a game of 1000 meters, If A scores 1000 meters then B scores 950 meters and C scores 920 meters.
? B runs 1000 m while C scores 920 x 1000 / 950= 18400 / 19 m
Hence, in 1000 m race, B can give C (1000 - 18400 / 19) = 600 / 19 = 3111?19 meters start.
Correct Answer: 10 points
Explanation:
If A Score 100 then B scores 80 and C score 72.
? B scores 80 while C scores 72
? B scores 100 while C scores 72 * 100 / 80 = 90 points
Hence, in 100 points B can give (100 ? 90) = 10 points
Correct Answer: 15?4
Explanation:
race remains to be run = 5 - 5?4 = 15?4 .
Correct Answer: 46 minutes 12 seconds
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 252, 308 and 198 = 2772 seconds
= 46 × 60 + 12 = 46 min 12 seconds.
.
Correct Answer: 25.5 Km
Explanation:
Raju runs on Monday and Friday = 1250 × 2 = 2500 m
On Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday,
Raju runs 1500 × 4 = 6000 m
In 1 week Raju runs 6000 + 2500 = 8500 m
In 3 weeks Raju runs 3 × 8500 = 25500 m = 25.5 K
Correct Answer: 95 seconds
Explanation:
15 meter is covered by B in 5 sec
? 300 meter is covered by B in 5 × 300/15 = 100 seconds
? A takes 100 - 5 = 95 seconds.
Correct Answer: 440 m
Explanation:
The speed of A and B are in the ratio 11 : 8.
Let, speeds be 11s and 8s (in m/sec).
Let, race be of P meter.
Then, time taken by A to run P meter is same as that of B to run (P - 120) meter.
? P / 11 = (P - 120) / 8
? P / 11 = (P - 120 / 8
? 8P = 11 x (P - 120 )
? 8P = 11P - 120 x 11
? 11P - 8P = 120 x 11
? 3P = 11 × 120
? P = 440.
