Q:

Ravi and Ramu are partners in a business.Ravi contributes 1/6 of the capital for 16 months and Ramu received 2/3 of the profit. For how long Ramu's money was used ?

A) 11 months B) 10 months
C) 9 months D) 8 months
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 8 months

Explanation:

Let the total Profit be Z.
Ramu's profit share is 2/3 of profit (i.e 2Z/3)
Ravi's profit is (Z-2Z/3) =Z/3
Hence the profit ratio is , Ravi : Ramu = Z/3 : 2Z/3 = 1:2

Let total Capital be Rs.X and Ramu has contributed for Y months.Since Ramu's profit share is 2/3, his invest share will be 2/3 in capital.

Ravi's invest for 16 months / Ramu's invest for Y months = Ravi's profit share / Ramu's profit share
i.e. (X/6 x 16) / (2X/3 x Y) = 1/2

Solving the above equation, we get Y = 8.
So Ramu's money has been used for 8 months.

Q:

P and Q were assigned to do a work for an amount of 1200. P alone can do it in 15 days while Q can do it in 12 days. With the help of R they finish the work in 6 days. Find the share of R ?

A) 120 B) 240
C) 360 D) 180
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 120

Explanation:

1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone)


so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1


so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.

Q:

On a ruler's tombstone, it is said that one sixth of his life was spent in childhood and one twelfth as a teenager. One seventh of his life passed between the time he became an adult and the time he married; five years later, his son was born. Alas, the son died four years before he did. He lived to be twice as old as his son did. How old did the ruler live to be ?

A) 84 years B) 72 years
C) 82 years D) 64 years
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 84 years

Explanation:

Let the age of ruler is x so that of son = x/2 (given)
Now according to the given condition
(x/6) + (x/12) + (x/7) + 5 + (x/2) + 4 = x
=> x = 84

Q:

How many balls?

Number of balls in the figure...

balls1523099634.jpg image

Answer

You have to actually count all the balls in the pyramid.
Simple way is to count the balls in each level.


So lower most level lets say 1st level has 4 x 4 balls; i.e. 16 balls
Similarly 2nd level has 3 x 3 balls; i.e. 9 balls.
3rd level has 2 x 2 balls; i.e. 4 balls.
The top most level has just 1 ball.


So the total number of balls is 16+9+4+1 = 30.


 


So the image has 30 Balls in all.

Q:

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together. Remaining 125/3% of work is completed by D in 10 days. If C & D worked together for p day then, what portion of work will be remained?

A) 1/5 B) 1/6
C) 1/7 D) 1/8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1/6

Explanation:

Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36

Total work = 144 units

Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day

Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day

Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day

 

According to the given data,

2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100

3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54

p = 198/16.5

p = 12 days.

 

Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day

(C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit

Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Q:

For how many integer values of n will the value of the expression 4n + 7 be an integer greater than 1 and less than 200?

A) 48 B) 49
C) 50 D) 51
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 50

Explanation:

1 < 4n + 7 < 200

n can be 0, or -1

n cannot be -2 or any other negative integer or the expression 4n + 7 will be less than1.

The largest value for n will be an integer < (200 - 7) /4

193/4 = 48.25, hence 48

The number of integers between -1 and 48 inclusive is 50
