Q 3 - Ronit Kumar can cover a distance in 1hr 24min by cycling by covering two third of the distance at four kilometre per hour and rest at a speed of one kilometre more than the previous. Find out the total distance.

Options :

Answer : B

Explanation

Distance = (2/3) S

distance = 1-2/3 S = (1/3)S

21/15 hr = (2/3) S/4 + (1/3) S /5

84 =(14/3)S x 3

S = 6km.

Q 4 - Rohan and Hari are two workers and they work for BMA constructions. Rohan is twice as good a workman as Hari. Together Rohan and Hari finish a piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will Rohan alone would finish the work?

Options :

Answer : C

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 5 - Suraj is a businessman and for change note purposes, he went to Reserve Bank and he got Rs. 480 with the values consisting of Rs. 10 notes, Rs. 5 notes, and Rs. 1 notes. The number of notes from each category is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has?

Options :

Answer : D

Let number of notes of each value be z. Then, 10z + 5z + z = 480. If we will solve it then z = 90. Hence option D is the answer.

Q 6 - The average age of 13 persons is 36 years. If he age of one more person is added the average decreases by half a year. What is the age of the new person?

Q 7 - July 28 is my birthday and I usually distribute rasagollas to my friends on that eve. I have a few rasagollas to be distributed. If I keep 2, 3 or 4 in pack, I am left with one Rasagolla. If I keep 5 in a pack, I am left with none. What is the minimum number of rasagollas I have to pack and distribute?

Options :

Answer : A

Explanation

By packing 5 rasagollas in a pack, we would be left with no extra ones.

So, the total number of Rasagollaas is obviously divisible by 5.

This eliminates the option C.

By packing 2,3, or 4 Rasagollas in a pack, we are left with 1 rasogolla

So, (the number of Rasagollas -1) must be divisible by 2,3, and 4

In case of option A, (25 - 1 = 24) is divisible by 2, 3, and 4.

In case of option B, (35 - 1 = 34) is divisible by 2 but is not divisible by 3 and 4. So, this eliminates option B.

In case of option D, (65 - 1 = 64) is divisible by both 2 and 4, but, is not divisible by 3. This eliminates option D also.

So, the only eligible option left with us is 25.

So, option A would be the answer.
