Q:

A wheel that has 6 cogs is meshed with a larger wheel of 14 cogs. When the smaller wheel has made 21 revolutions, then the number of revolutions mad by the larger wheel is:

A) 4 B) 9
C) 12 D) 49

Answer:   B) 9



Explanation:

Let the required number of revolutions made by larger wheel be x.

 

Then, More cogs, Less revolutions (Indirect Proportion)

 

  14 : 6 :: 21 : x => 14 x x = 6 x 21

 

x=6*21/14  =>  x=9

Q:

The sum of 3rd and 15th elements of an arithmetic progression is equal to the sum of 6th, 11th and 13th elements of the same progression. Then which element of the series should necessarily be equal to zero ?

A) 14th element B) 9th element
C) 12th element D) 7th element
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12th element

Explanation:

If we consider the third term to be ‘x”
The 15th term will be (x + 12d)
6th term will be (x + 3d)
11th term will be (x + 8d) and
13th term will be (x + 10d).
Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.
x + 9d will be the 12th term.

Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.

Q:

If a person having Rs. 2000 and he want to distribute this to his five children in the manner that each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one , what will be the share of youngest child ?

A) Rs. 175 B) Rs. 325
C) Rs. 340 D) Rs. 260
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 340

Explanation:

Assume first child (the youngest) get = Rs. x

According to the question ;
each son having Rs. 30 more than the younger one

Second child will get = Rs. x + 30
Third child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 = x + 60
Forth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 90
Fifth child will get = Rs. x + 30 + 30 + 30 + 30 = x + 120

Total amount they got = Rs. 2000

x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + (x+120) = 2000
5x + 300 = 2000
5x = 1700
x = Rs. 340
So the youngest child will get Rs. 340.

Q:

2 men and 7 boys can do a piece of work in 14 days; 3 men and 8 boys can do the same in 11 days. Then, 8 men and 6 boys can do three times the amount of this work in 

A) 18 days B) 21 days
C) 24 days D) 30 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 21 days

Explanation:

(2 x 14) men +(7 x 14) boys = (3 x 11) men + (8 x 11) boys

 =>5 men= 10 boys    => 1man= 2 boys

 Therefore, (2 men+ 7 boys) = (2 x 2 +7) boys = 11 boys

 

( 8 men + 6 boys) = (8 x 2 +6) boys = 22 boys.

 Let the required  number of days be x.

 More boys , Less days     (Indirect proportion)

 More work , More days    (Direct proportion)

 Boys22:11Work1 : 3⋮⋮ 14:x

 Therefore, (22 * 1 * x) = (11 * 3 * 14)

=> x = 21 

Hence, the required number of days = 21
