Q:

P alone can complete a piece of work in 6 days. Work done by Q alone in one day is equal to one-third of the work done by P alone in one day. In how many days can the work be completed if P and Q work together  ?

A) 5 (2/3) B) 6 (3/4 )
C) 4 (1/2) D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4 (1/2)

Explanation:

Work done by P alone in one day = 1/6th of the total work done by Q alone in one day = 1/3(of that done by P in one day) = 1/3(1/6 of the total) = 1/18 of the total. 

 

Work done by P and Q, working together in one day = 1/6 + 1/18  = 4/18 = 2/9 

 

They would take 9/2 days = 4 (1/2) days to complete the work working together.

Q:

A drink vendor has 80 liters of Mazza, 144 liters of Pepsi, and 368 liters of Sprite. He wants to pack them in cans, so that each can contains the same number of liters of a drink, and doesn't want to mix any two drinks in a can. What is the least number of cans required?

A) 35 B) 36
C) 37 D) 38
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 37

Explanation:

If we want to pack the drinks in the least number of cans possible, then each can should contain the maximum numbers of liters possible.As each can contains the same number liters of a drink, the number of liters in each can is a comman factor for 80,144 and 368; and it is also the highest such factor, as we need to store the maximum number of liters in each can.

So, the number of liters in each can  = HCF of 80,144 and 368 = 16 liters.

Now, number of cans of Maaza = 80/16 = 5

Number of cans of Pepsi = 144/16 = 9

Number of cans of Sprite = 368/16 = 23

Thus, the total number of cans required = 5 + 9 + 23 = 37

Q:

In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is:

A) 75 cubic meter B) 750 cubic meter
C) 7500 cubic meter D) 75000 cubic meter
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 750 cubic meter

Explanation:

1 hectare = 10,000 Sq.m

So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) Sq.m

Depth = 5/100 m = 1/20 m

Therefore, Volume = Area X Depth = 15000 x (1/20)= 750 cu.m

Q:

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% of ?

A) 383 B) 338
C) 84.5 D) 253.5
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 338

Explanation:

We know that 40% = 25

 

40% of 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

 

25 x 265 + 35% of 180 = 50% ?

 

We know that (35% of 180 = 180% of 35) & 180% = 95

 

25 x 265 + 95 x 35 = 50% ?

 

106 + 63 = 50% ?

 

?= 2 x 169 = 338.
