Q 1 - There are two baskets containing oranges. The first basket of oranges has 1/5 excess to as many oranges in second basket. If second basket has 4 oranges less than first basket, then the number of oranges in the 1st basket is
Number of oranges in second basket = x, in first basket = x + x/5 = 5x/4 Hence, 5x/4 - x = 4X = 4. So option a is correct.
Q 2 - In a leading MNC, there are 51 male employees who are over 150 cm tall. If these constitute three-fourths of the male employees and the total number of male employees is two-thirds of the total number of employees in the class, what is the number of female employees in the class?
Let the number of male employees be x. Then, (3/4) x = 51 or x = 51 × (4/3) = 68.If total number of students is y, then (2/3) y = 68 or y = 68 × (3/2) = 72.Therefore Number of females in the MNC = (72 - 68) = 4.
Q 3 - A snail moves up 30 cm when each hour is started and stops for a while when it slips back 20 cm before it again starts climbing in the beginning of the next hour. If it begins its ascent at 8.00 a.m., at what time will it first touch a flower at 120 cm from the ground?
Let the ascent of the snail in 1 hour = ( 30 - 20 ) = 10 cm.
So, the snail ascends 90 cm in 9 hours i.e., 5 p.m.
Clearly, in the next 1 hour i.e., till 6 p.m.
The snail ascends remaining 30 cm to touch the flower.
Q 4 - Jitkumar is a student who studies in a residential college near the Pallikal hills. In a quarterly mathematics exam, Jit got twice as many sums wrong as he got right. If Jit has attempted 48 sums in all then how many did he solve correctly?
