Q:

A car mechanic purchased four old cars for Rs. 1 lakh. He spent total 2 lakh in the maintenance and repairing of these four cars. what is the average sale price of the rest three cars to get 50% total profit if he has already sold one of the four cars at Rs. 1.2 lakh?

A) 1.5 lakh	B) 1.1 lakh
C) 1.2 lakh	D) 1.65 lakh

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1.1 lakh

Explanation:

Total cost of 4 cars = 1+2 = 3 lakh

Total S.P of 4 cars = 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 lakh ( $S i n c e S . P = \frac{(100 + G a i n %)}{100} x C . P$ )

S.P of 1 car = 1.2 lakh

S.P of rest 3 cars = 4.5 - 1.2 = 3.3 lakh

Average S.P of all the 3 cars = 1.1 lakh

Q:

A large tanker can be filled by two pipes A and B in 60 and 40 minutes respectively. How many minutes will it take to fill the tanker from empty state if B is used for half the time and A and B fill it together for the other half ?

A) 31 min	B) 29 min
C) 28 min	D) 30 min

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 30 min

Explanation:

Part filled by (A + B) in 1 minute = (1/60 + 1/40) = 1/24
Suppose the tank is filled in x minutes.
Then, x/2(1/24 + 1/40) = 1
(x/2) * (1/15) = 1 => x = 30 min.

Q:

With an average speed of 40 km/hr, a train reaches its destination in time. If it goes with an average speed of 35 km/hr, it is late by 15 minutes. Find the length of the total journey?

A) 70 kms	B) 60 kms
C) 45 kms	D) 30 kms

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 70 kms

Explanation:

Let the time taken by train be 't' hrs.

Then,

$40 t = 35 (t + \frac{15}{60})$

40t = 35t + 35/4

t = 7/4 hrs

Therefore, Required length of the total journey d = s x t

= 40 x 7/4

= 70 kms.

The simplest triangles are AJF, FBG, HDI, GCH and JEI i.e 5 in number.
The triangles composed of the three components each are AIC, FCE, ADG, EBH and DJB i.e 5 in number.
Thus, there are 5 + 5 = 10 triangles in the given figure.

Q:

Find the Missing Numbers in the given Number Puzzle ?

A) 169 & 81	B) 67 & 121
C) 64 & 115	D) 70 & 110

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 169 & 81

Explanation:

Observe that in each column, square of sum of digits in the first row = Respective second row elements.

In the same way, square of sum of digits in the second row = Respective third row elements.

=> ${(6 + 4)}^{2} = 10^{2} = 100$

=> ${(4 + 9)}^{2} = 13^{2} = 169$

=> ${(8 + 1)}^{2} = 9^{2} = 81$ .

Q:

Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 24 hours and $17 \frac{1}{7}$ hours respectively. Harihar opened the pipes A and B to fill an empty tank and some times later he closed the taps A and B , when the tank was supposed to be full. After that it was found that the tank was emptied in 2.5 hours because an outlet pipe "C" connected to the tank was open from the beginning. If Harihar closed the pipe C instead of closing pipes A and B the remaining tank would have been filled in :

A) 2 hours	B) 8 hours
C) 6 hours	D) 4 hours

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8 hours

Explanation:

Efficiency of Inlet pipe A = 4.16% $(\frac{100}{24})$

Efficiency of Inlet pipe B = 5.83% $(\frac{100}{17 \frac{1}{7}})$

Therefore, Efficiency of A and B together = 100 %

Now, if the efficiency of outlet pipe be x% then in 10 hours the capacity of tank which will be filled = 10 * (10 - x)

Now, since this amount of water is being emptied by 'C' at x% per hour, then

$\frac{10 x (10 - x)}{x} = 2.5 h r s$

=> x = 8

Therefore, in 10 hours 20% tank is filled only. Hence, the remaining 80% of the capacity will be filled by pipes A and B in 80/10 = 8 hours

The horizontal lines are AK, BJ, CI, DH and EG i.e. 5 in number.
The vertical lines are AE, LF and KG i.e. 3 in number.
The slanting lines are LC, CF, FI, LI, EK and AG i.e. 6 in number.
Thus, there are 5 + 3 + 6 = 14 straight lines in the figure.
