Q:

How old are you if you are born in 1995?

A) 22 B) 23
C) 24 D) 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 23

Explanation:

Calculating Age has 2 conditions. Let your Birthday is on January 1st.

1. If the month in which you are born is completed in the present year i.e, your birthday, then

Your Age = Present year - Year you are born 

As of now, present year = 2018

i.e, Age = 2018 - 1995 = 23 years.

 

2. If the month in which you are born is not completed in the present year i.e, your birthday, then

Your Age = Last year - Year you are born

As of now, present year = 2018

i.e, Age = 2017 - 1995 = 22 years.

Q:

How much time will a train of length 200 m moving at a speed of 72 kmph take to cross another train of length 300 m, moving at 36 kmph in the same direction ?

A) 58 sec B) 62 sec
C) 60 sec D) 50 sec
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 sec

Explanation:

The distance to be covered = Sum of their lengths = 200 + 300 = 500 m.

Relative speed = 72 -36 = 36 kmph = 36 x 5/18 = 10 mps.

Time required = d/s = 500/10 = 50 sec.

Q:

If Riya's age is four times the age of Siya and if Riya's age is 24 yrs , find the age difference between Riya and Siya ? 

A) 2 yrs B) 12 yrs
C) 18 yrs D) 6 yrs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 18 yrs

Explanation:

Let Siya's age = x

Then Riya's age = 4x

But given Riya's age = 24

=> 4x = 24 => x = 6

Hence Siya's age = 6 yrs

=> The age difference = 24 - 6 = 18 yrs.

Q:

The ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R is 2 : 3 : 4. While P and R work on alternate days and Q work for all days. Now the work completed in total 10 days and the total amount they get is Rs. 1200. Find the amount of each person(respectively).

A) 200, 600, 400 B) 400, 600, 200
C) 600, 200, 400 D) 400, 200, 600
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 200, 600, 400

Explanation:

Ratio of efficiencies of P, Q and R = 2 : 3 : 4

From the given data,

Number of working days of P, Q, R = 5 : 10 : 5

Hence, ratio of amount of p, Q, R = 2x5 : 3x10 : 4x5 = 10 : 30 : 20

Amounts of P, Q, R = 200, 600 and 400.

Q:

A man can row against the current three fourth of a kilometer in 15 min and returns same distance in 10 min, then ratio of his speed to that of current?

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

Explanation:

Let the speed of the man in still water = p kmph

Speed of the current = s kmph

Now, according to the questions

(p + s) x 10 = (p - s) x 15

2p + 2s = 3p - 3s

=> p : s = 5 : 1

 

Hence, ratio of his speed to that of current = 5:1.
