2.A and B together can do a piece of work in 36 days, B and C together can do it in 24 days. A and C together can do it in 18 days. The three working together can finish the work in

a. 8 days
b. 16 days
c. 30 days
d. 32 days

View Answer

b. 16 days 

Explanation: The efficiency of (A + B) = (100/36)%;

The efficiency of (B + C)= (100/24)%;

The efficiency of (A + C)=(100/18)%;

Adding above equations-

The efficiency of 2*(A + B + C)= (100/36) + (100/24) + (100/18)= (25/2)%;

The efficiency of (A + B + C) = (25/4)%.

The number of days to complete the task by all of threes = 100/(25/4) = 16 days;

3.Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 21 cms and 20 cms. The diagonal joining the endpoints of these two sides is 29 cms. The area of the parallelogram (in sq. cms) is

a. 4%
b. 6%
c. 10%
d. 12%

View Answer

c. 10% 

Explanation: Marked Price =1.2* Cost price; —– eq.(i.)

Let the discount percentage = x%;

(100 – x)% of Marked price = 1.08 * Cost price; ——-eq.(ii.)

Divide eq.(ii.) by eq.(i.)-

(100-x)/100 = 1.08/1.2; => 100 –x = 0.9*100 => x= 10%.

5.Sum of two numbers is thrice their difference. Their ratio is

a. 1:2
b. 2:1
c. 3:1
d. 1:3

View Answer

b. 2:1

(x + y) = 3*(x – y); => 2x = 4y;

Hence, x: y = 2: 1;

6.The average age of 36 students in a group is 14 years. When the teacher’s age is included in it, the average increases by one. The teacher’s age in years is

a. 31
b. 51
c. 36
d. 50

View Answer

b. 51

Explanation: Suppose S1, S2, S3,………., S36 are the students in the group-

(S1 + S2 + S3………., +S36)/36 = 14; => (S1 + S2 + S3………., +S36) = 504; ——eq.(i)

[(S1 + S2 + S3………., +S36) + T]/37 = 15;

Put the value of equation(i) in the above equation-

504 + T = 37*15;

T = 555 – 504 = 51 years;
