Q:

10 men and 15 women together can complete a work in 6 days. It takes 100 days for one man alone to complete the same work. How many days will be required for one woman alone to complete the same work?

A) 215 days B) 225 days
C) 235 days D) 240 days
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 225 days

Explanation:

Given that

(10M + 15W) x 6 days = 1M x 100 days

=> 60M + 90W = 100M

=> 40M = 90W

=> 4M = 9W.

From the given data,

1M can do the work in 100 days

=> 4M can do the same work in 100/4= 25 days.

=> 9W can do the same work in 25 days.

=> 1W can do the same work in 25 x 9 = 225 days.

 

Hence, 1 woman can do the same work in 225 days.

Q:

Pick the odd man out of the folowing number sequence?

123 112 133 112 143

A) 143 B) 122
C) 133 D) 112
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 122

Explanation:

Here the given series is 123 112 133 112 143

It follows a pattern that,

123

123 - 11 = 112

112 + 21 = 133

133 - 31 = 102 (not 122)

102 + 41 = 143

 

Hence, the odd man in the given number sequence is 122 instead of 102.

Q:

Direction: What value should come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question?

12.5×14÷8.75+42=50+?

A) 18 B) 12
C) 32 D) 42
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 12

Explanation:

By replacing the “?” with “x”

(12.5×14÷8.75) x (100/100) + 42 = 50 + X

(125*140)/875 + 42 = 50 + X

140/7 + 42 = 50 + X

20 + 42 = 50 + X

62 = 50 + X

X = 62 - 50

X = 12
