=>x = 2527

Q 2 - The speed of three trains is in the ratio 3:5:7. The ratio between the time taken by these trains to travel the same distance is

A - 35:21:15

B - 7:5:3

C - 35:15:13

D - 15:21:35

Answer : A

Explanation

Speeds are in the ratio 3:5:7
Ratio of time taken will be  1/3:1/5:1/7
=> 35/105:21/105:15/105 =35:21:15

Q 3 - If A:B =1:3 , B:C =5:7 , C:D =9:7 ,then A:B:C:D =?

A - 15:45:63:49

B - 15:49:45:63

C - 45:15:63:49

D - 49:15:45:63

Answer : C

Explanation

A:B = 1 :3 = 5 :15 , 
B :C = 5:7 =15 :21 
and C:D = 21/9 *9 : 21/9 *7
A: B = 5:15 , B :C = 5:7 and C:D =21:49/3 
A : B :C :D = 5 :15 :21 : 49/3 
=> A : B :C :D = 15 :45 : 63 : 49

Q 4 - If 1/5 : 1/x:: 1/x :1/1.25 , then x = ?

A - 1.5

B - 2

C - 2.5

D - 3.5

Answer : C

Explanation

1/x *1/x =1/5 *1/1.25
=> 1/x2=1/6.25
=> x2 =6.25 
=> x =&sqrt;6.25 = 2.5

Q 5 - Which of the following function can be used to get an array in the reverse order?

A - array_reverse()

B - array_search()

C - array_shift()

D - array_slice()

Answer : A

Explanation

array_reverse(): Returns an array in the reverse order.

Q 6 - Instead of partitioning rs. 117 among P, Q, R in the proportion 1/2: 1/3:1/4, by misstep it was isolated in the proportion 2:3:4 . who picked up in the exchange?

A - only P

B - just Q

C - just R

D - both Q and R

Answer : D

Explanation

P = Rs(117*6/13)= Rs 54,
Q = Rs(117*4/13)= Rs 36 
And R = Rs(117*3/13)=Rs 27.
 Again, the ratio is 2:3:4.  
 P =Rs(117*2/9)= Rs 26,
Q= Rs (117*3/9)=Rs 39 
And R=RS(117*4/9)=Rs 52.
 Thus, both Q and R gained in the transaction.

Q 7 - Two entire numbers whose entirety is 64, cannot be in the proportion

A - 5:3

B - 7:1

C - 3:4

D - 9:7

Answer : C

Explanation

For dividing 64 in to two whole numbers, the sum of the terms of the ratio must be a factor of 64.
So, they cannot be in the ratio 3:4

Q 8 - Three no. are in the proportion 3:4:5. The total of the biggest and the littlest measures up to the third's entirety and 52. The littlest no. is?

A - 20

B - 27

C - 39

D - 52

Answer : C

Explanation

Let the numbers be 3x, 4x and 5x.
(5x+3x) = 4x+52  
=>  4x =52 
=>  x=13
  Smallest no. = (3*13) = 39

Q 9 - Rs. 1050 is partitioned among p, q and r in a manner that the offer of p is 2/5 of the consolidated offer of q and r. Therefore p gets:

A - 200

B - 300

C - 320

D - 420

Answer : B

Explanation

Given: P=2/5 (Q+R) 
=> P :( Q+R)= 2:5
∴ P share =(1050*2/7)= 300.

Q 10 - A and B are two compounds of gold and copper arranged by blending metals in the extent 7:2 and 7:11 separately. In the event that the equivalent amounts of the combination are dissolved to frame a third amalgam C, the extent of gold and copper In C will be:

A - 5:9

B - 5:7

C - 7:5

D - 9:5

Answer : C

Explanation

Gold in C=(7/9+7/18)=21/18=7/6.
Copper in C=(2/9+11/18)=15/18=5/6.
∴Gold:Copper=7/6:5/6=7:5.
