Answers

1.Ans- B
Explanation :
Assume the length of the bridge = x
meter
Total distance covered = 130+x
meter
total time taken = 30s
speed = Total distance covered /total
time taken = (130+x)/30 m/s
=> 45 × (10/36) = (130+x)/30
=> 45 × 10 × 30 /36 = 130+x
=> 45 × 10 × 10 / 12 = 130+x
=> 15 × 10 × 10 / 4 = 130+x
=> 15 × 25 = 130+x = 375
=> x = 375-130 =245

2.Ans- A
Amount of work P can do in 1 day =
1/16
Amount of work Q can do in 1 day =
1/12
Amount of work P, Q and R can
together do in 1 day = 1/4
Amount of work R can do in 1 day =
1/4 - (1/16 + 1/12) = 3/16 – 1/12 =
5/48
=> Hence R can do the job on 48/5
days = 9 (3/5) days

3.Ans- D
Explanation :
distance = 600 meter
time = 5 minutes = 5 x 60 seconds =
300 seconds

speed := 600/300 = 2 m/s

4.Ans- D
Explanation :
Let rate = R%
Then, Time, T = R years
P = Rs.1400
SI = Rs.686

(686*100)/1400 = R^2

R^2 = 49

R = 7%
 
5.Ans- D
Explanation :
We have two series here
34, 37, 40, 43, ... (Increase by 3)
7, 14, 28, ... (Multiply by 2)
Hence, next term is 28 × 2 = 56

6.Ans- C
Explanation :
Total number of outcomes possible
when a die is rolled = 6 (∵ any one
face out of the 6 faces)
Hence, total number of outcomes
possible when a die is rolled twice,
n(S) = 6 × 6 = 36
E = Getting a sum of 9 when the two
dice fall = {(3, 6), {4, 5}, {5, 4}, (6,
3)}
Hence, n(E) = 4

P(E)=n(E)/n(S) = 9/36 = 1/9

7.Ans- B
Explanation :
Ratio in which they should share the
profit
= Ratio of the investments
multiplied by the time period
= 45000 * 12: 30000 * 9
= 45 * 12: 30 * 9
= 3*12: 2 * 9
= 2:1

8.Ans- B
Explanation:
Let the present age of the son = x
years
Then present age the man = (x+24)
years
Given that in 2 years, man's age
will be twice the age of his son
=> (x+24) +2 = 2(x+2)
=> x = 22

9.Ans- A
Explanation:
Runs scored in the first 10 overs =
10 × 3.2 = 32
Total runs = 282
Remaining runs to be scored = 282 -
32 = 250
Remaining overs = 40
Run rate needed =250/40 =6.25

10.Ans- B
Explanation :
Greatest number of four digits =
9999
LCM of 15, 25, 40 and 75 = 600
9999 ÷ 600 = 16, remainder = 399
Hence, greatest number of four digits
which is divisible by 15, 25, 40 and
75
= 9999 - 399 = 9600
