Q 1 - A car driver spends Rs 20 for each km for traveling in bus, and spends 10 less for his own drive. In one week, he pays Rs. 800 for travelling 60km. How many km did he travel on his own?

Options :

Let distance travelled by bus=X

Distance covered by his own = 60- (20X + 10(60-X)) = 800X = 2

Q 2 - A has $3 more than B, but then B wins on the horses and trebles his money, so that he now has $2 more than the original amount of money that the two boys had between them. How much money did A and B have before B's win?

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Let money with A = x. Then, money with B = x + $3. Now, 3x = (x + x + $3) + $2 x = $5.

Therefore total money with A and B = 2x + $3 = $13.

Q 3 - Anurag is three times as old as Baibhav. Cindy was twice-as old as Anurag four years ago. In four years' time, Anurag will be 31. What is the present age of Baibhav?

Options :

Answer : D

Explanation

As from the question we have,

Anurag = 3Baibhav --- (i)

Cindy - 4 = 2(Anurag+4) ---(ii)

Also, Anurag + 4 = 31

or Anurag = 31-4 = 27

Putting Anurag = 27 in (i) we get

Baibhav = 9 years.

Explanation

If Rohan takes x days to do a work then Hari takes 2x days to do the same work.

1/x + 1/2x = 1/18

3/2x = 1/18

x = 27 days.

Hence, Rohan alone can finish the work in 27 days.

Q 6 - There are 75 coins in a bag which contains only 25 paise and 50 paise coins. The value of the coins is 25. Find the numbers of 25 paise coins.

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Let the number of 25 paise coins be x. Then number of 50 paise coins will be (75-x).

X × 0.25 + (75-X) × 0.50 = 25

0.25X + 37.50 - 0.50x = 25

0.25x = 12.50

X = 12.50/0.25 = 50

Q 7 - Piyush Goyal has Rs. 960 in the denominations 10 rupee notes, 5 rupee notes, 1 rupee notes. The number of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has?

Options :

Answer : C

Explanation

Let number of notes of each denomination be x.

Then x + 5x + 10 = 960.

16 x = 960 = x = 60.

Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 180.

Q 8 - P is able to complete a certain task in 6 days and Q can do it within 8 days. P and Q agreed to do the task together for Rs. 4000. R joined them and they finished the task within 3 days. How much is to be paid to R?

Options :

Answer : D

Explanation

$Work \: done \: by \: R \: in \: one \: day \: = \: \frac{1}{3} - \lgroup\frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{8}\rgroup = \frac{1}{3} - \frac{7}{24} = \frac{1}{24}$

$P's share \: : \: Q's share \: : \: R's Share \: = \: \frac{1}{6} : \frac{1}{8} : \frac{1}{24} = 4 \: : \: 3 \: : \: 1$

$\therefore \: R's \: share \: for \: 3 \: days \:= \: Rs.\lgroup3*\frac{1}{24}*4000\rgroup \: = \: Rs.500.$

Q 9 - Mohasin and Javed work for LPN cement company. Mohasin can do a piece of work in 7 days working for 9 hours each day and Javed alone can do it in 6 days working for 7 hours in each day. How long will both Mohasin and Javed take to complete the job working together 8 2/5 hours a day?

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

Mohasin can complete the work in (7 × 9) = 63 days Javed can complete the work in (6 × 7) = 42 days

Mohasin’s one hour’s work = 1/63 and Javed’s one hour work = 1/42

(Mohasin + Javed)’s one hour work = (1/63) + (1/42) = 5/126 Therefore, Both Mohasin and Javed can finish the work in 126/5 hours.

Number of days of 8 2/5 hours each = (126 × 5/(5 × 42)) = 3 days
