Q:

Rs. 5887 is divided between Shyam and Ram, such that Shyam's share at the end of 9 years is equal to Ram's share at the end of 11 years, compounded annually at the rate of 5%. Find the share of Shyam.

A) 3567 B) 3452
C) 3087 D) 3544
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 3087

Explanation:

Shyam's share * (1+0.05)9 = Ram's share * (1 + 0.05)11

Shyam's share / Ram's share = (1 + 0.05)11 / (1+ 0.05)9 = (1+ 0.05)2 = 441/400

Therefore Shyam's share = (441/841) * 5887 = 3087

Q:

Can you spot the missing number?

number_puzzle11531377158.jpg image

A) 3 B) 6
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both A & B

Explanation:

The given number puzzle can be soved in two ways.

Logic 1 ::

Row 1  - 2 x 3 = 6 , 6 x 3 = 18

Row 2  - 4 x 5 = 20 , 20 x 5 = 100

Row 3  - 3 x 7 = 21 , 21 x 7 = 147

 

Hence, the missing number could be 3.

 

Logic 2 ::

Row 1 - 6 x (2+1) = 18

Row 2 - 20 x (4+1) = 100

Row 3 - 21 x (6+1) = 147

 

Hence, the missing number could be 6.

 

Therefore, 3 or 6 is the right answer.

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.
