Q:

Three persons A, B and C are standing in a queue. There are five persons between A and B and eight persons between B and C. If there be three persons ahead of C and 21 persons behind A, what could be the minimum number of persons in the queue?

A) 41 B) 40
C) 28 D) 27
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 28

Explanation:

Three persons A, B, C can be arranged in a queue in six different ways, ie ABC, CBA, BAC, CAB, BCA, ACB. But since there are only 3 persons ahead of C, so C should be in front of the queue. Thus, there are only two possible arrangements, ie CBA and CAB.

 

We may consider the two cases as under:

Case I:  3C8B5A21

 

Clearly, number of persons in the queue = (3+1+8+1+5+1+21=) 40

 

Case II:  3C A5B

 

Number of persons between A and C                  

 

= (8 - 6) = 2   

[C8B A21B]

 

Clearly number of persons in the queue = (3+1+2+1+21) = 28

 

Now, 28 < 40. So, 28 is the minimum number of persons in the queue.

Q:

In a pot, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4 : 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 litres of milk, the pot would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6 : 5. Find the capacity of the pot ?

A) 11 lit B) 22 lit
C) 33 lit D) 44 lit
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 22 lit

Explanation:

Let the capacity of the pot be 'P' litres.
Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = 4/9 (P - 8)
After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = 6/11 P.
6P/11 - 8 = 4/9(P - 8)
10P = 792 - 352 => P = 44.

The capacity of the pot is 44 liters.

Q:

Five farmers have 7,9,11,13 & 14 apple trees respectively in their orchards. Last year each of them discovered that every tree in their own orchard yields exactly the same number of apples. Further, if the 3rd farmer gives one apple to the 1st and the 5th gives 3 to each of the 2nd & d 4th, they would all exactly have the same number of apples, what were the yields per tree in the orchards of the 3rd & 4th farmers ?

A) 17 & 9 B) 9 & 11
C) 9 & 9 D) 11 & 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11 & 9

Explanation:

Let the number of apples in each tree of the 5 farmers be a, b, c, d,e respectively. Therefore total no of apples are 7a, 9b, 11c, 13d and 14e respectively.

Given,
7a+1 = 9b+3 = 11c-1 = 13d+3 = 14e-6 = x

9b+3 = 13d+3
===> 9b = 13d
so take b = 13 and d = 9

9b+3 = 9*13+3 = 120
ie, x=120

substituting
7a+1 = 120
7a = 119
a = 17

11c-1 = 120
11c = 121
c=11

14e-6 = 120
14e = 126
e = 9

Yields per tree in the orchards of d 3rd & 4th farmers= 11,9

Q:

The day before yesterday, I was 25 years old, and next year I will turn 28. How is it possible?

Answer

On carefully inspecting this question, one can understand that there are two days which are important and these are:


A. My Birthday.


B. The day when I am making this statement.


If you think for a while, you will understand that such statements can be made only around the year’s end. So, if my birthday is on 31 December, then I will be making this statement on 1 January.


I will further explain using the following example:


1. Consider that today is 01 January 2017.


2. Then, the day before yesterday was 30 December 2016 and according to the question I was 25 then.


3. Yesterday was 31 December 2016, which happens to be my birthday too (Woohoo!), and my age increases by one to become 26.


4. I will turn 27 on my birthday this year (31 December 2017).


5. I will turn 28 on my birthday next year (31 December 2018).


Now, if you read the question again, it will make more sense:


 


The day before yesterday(30 December 2016), I was 25 years old and next year(31 December 2018) I will be 28.
