Q:

A drink vendor has 368 liters of Maaza, 80 liters of Pepsi and 144 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) 47 B) 46
C) 37 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 37

Explanation:

The number of liters in each can = HCF of 80, 144 and 368 = 16 liters.
Number of cans of Maaza = 368/16 = 23
Number of cans of Pepsi = 80/16 = 5
Number of cans of Sprite = 144/16 = 9
The total number of cans required = 23 + 5 + 9 = 37 cans.

Q:

Rajan's present age is three times his daughter's and nine-thirteenth of his mother's present age. The sum of the present ages of all three of them is 125 years. What is the difference between the present ages of Rajan's daughter and Rajan's mather ?

A) 32 years B) 48 years
C) 62 years D) 50 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 50 years

Explanation:

Let Rajan's present age be 'x' years.
=> Then his daughter's present age is = x/3 years.
His mother's present age = 13x/9 years
Now, according to the question,
x + x/3 + 13x/9 = 125
=> x = 125x9/25 = 45
Therefore, required difference = 13x/9 - x/3 = 13x - 3x/9 = 10x/9
=> 10 x 45/9 = 50 years.

      (a) 13   (b) 17   (c) 9    (d) 11

Answer

1. Answer (c)


Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it.


Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2


2. Answer (d)


Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it.


Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's)


= 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4)
= 19 - 8
= 11.

A) 5 B) 10
C) 15 D) 8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 10

Explanation:

Raj Tarun's age = 0 when he was born.
Then, given his brother is 6 years old.
Then his father is 6 + 32 = 38 when Raj Tarun was born
And his mother is 3 years yonger than his father => so his mother was 35 years old when Raj Tarun was born
and his sister is 25 year younger than his mother
