Options- A. 15 m
- B. 4 m
- C. 6 m
- D. 9 m Also asked in: GRE, GATE, CAT, Bank Exams, AIEEE, Bank PO, Bank Clerk

- 4. A class is 6 meters 24 centimeters in length and 4 meters 32 centimeters in width. Find the least number of square tiles of equal size required to cover the entire floor of the class room ?
Options- A. 115
- B. 117
- C. 116
- D. 114 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 117
Explanation:
Length = 6 m 24 cm = 624 cm
Width = 4 m 32 cm = 432 cm
HCF of 624 and 432 = 48
Number of square tiles required = (624 x 432)/(48 x 48) = 13 x 9 = 117.
- 5. Calculate the number of bricks, each measuring 25 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm required to construct a wall of dimensions 10 m x 4 cm x 6 m when 10% of its volume is occupied by mortar ?
Options- A. 720
- B. 600
- C. 660
- D. 6000 Also asked in: AIEEE, Bank Exams, CAT, Bank Clerk, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 720
Explanation:
Let the number of bricks be 'N'
10 x 4/100 x 6 x 90/100 = 25/100 x 15/100 x 8/100 x N
10 x 4 x 6 x 90 = 15 x 2 x N => N = 720.
- 6. Chord AB of a circle when extended meets the tangent to the circle at point P. PT is the tangent touching the circle at point T. If lengths of PT and PB are 6 cm and 4 cm respectively, what is the length of PA?

- 7. Two concentric circles form a ring. The inner and outer circumference of the ring are 352/7 m and 528/7m respectively.Find the width of the ring.
Options- A. 5
- B. 4
- C. 3
- D. 2 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
let the inner and outer radii be r and R meters
then,
= 352/7
=> r = (352/7) * (7/22) * (1/2) = 8m
= 528/7
=> R= (528/7) * (7/22) * (1/2)= 12m
width of the ring = R-r = 12-8 = 4m
- 8. The perimeters of two squares are 40cm and 32 cm. Find the perimeter of a third square whose area is equal to the difference of the areas of the two squares.
Options- A. 12
- B. 24
- C. 36
- D. 48 Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
Correct Answer: 24
Explanation:
side of first square = 40/4 =10cm
side of second square = 32/4 = 8cm
area of third squre = 10² - 8² = 36 sq cm
side of third square = = 6 cm
required perimeter = 6*4 = 24cm
- 9. A cow s tethered in the middle of a field with a 14feet long rope.If the cow grazes 100 sq feet per day, then approximately what time will be taken by the cow to graze the whole field?

- 10. Wheels of diameters 7cm and 14cm start rolling simultaneously from x & y which are 1980 cm apart towards each other in opposite directions. Both of them make the same number of revolutions per second. If both of them meet after 10seconds.The speed of the smaller wheel is
Options- A. 22m/s
- B. 33m/s
- C. 44m/s
- D. 55m/s Also asked in: Bank Exams, Bank PO
