If x and y are the two digits f the number 653xy such that this number is divisible by 80, then
x+y is equal to:
2
3
4
6
Answer:
6
Explanation:
Since 653xy is divisible by 2 as well as by 5, so y = 0
Now 653x0 is divisible by 8 so 3x0 is also divisible by 8. By hit and trial x=6 and
x+y = 6
Qn.22
If 1.5x= 0.04y then the value of (y-x)/(y+x) is
730/77
73/77
Answer:
73/77
Explanation:
x/y = 0.04/1.5 = 2/75
So (y-x)/(y+x) = (1 - x/y)/(1 + x/y) = (1 - 2/75)/ (1 + 2/75) = 73/77
7.3/77
None

A man's speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man's
speed against the current is:
8.5 km/hr
9 km/hr
10 km/hr
Answer:
10 km/hr
Explanation:
Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.
Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) km/hr = 10 km/hr.

taken for the wheel to move through 930 metres?
16 M
15.5 M
Answer:
15.5 M
Explanation:
For one rotation, distance moved = 5 metres
For 12 rotations, distance moved = 12 × 5 = 60 metres
Distance covered in 1 minute = 60 metres
Total distance covered by the wheel = 930 minutes.
Total time taken = 930/60= 15.5 minutes.
17.5 M
15 M

A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27,
the how old is
7
8
9
10
Answer:
10
Explanation:
Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years.
=>(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
=5x = 25
=x = 5.
Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.
Qn.32
In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price
remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit?
30%
70%
Answer:
70%
Explanation:
Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420.
New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420.
Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295.
Required percentage = (295/ 420 x 100)%= 1475/21 % = 70%
100%
250%

The average age of a class is 15.8 years. The average age of boys in the class is 16.4 years while
that of girls is 15.4 years. What is the ratio of boys to girls in the class?
1:2
3:4
3:5
None of these
Answer:
None of these
Explanation:
Let the ratio be k:1.
Then k*16.4+1*15.4 + (k+1)*15.8 (16.4-15.8)k = 15.8 - 15.4 k=0.4/0.6 = 2/3
So required ratio = 2:3

18 Gold is 19 times as heavy as water and copper is 9 times as heavy as water. In what ratio
should these be mixed to get an alloy 15 times as heavy as water?
1:1
2:3
1:2
3:2
Answer:
3:2
Explanation:
Let 1gm of gold be mixed with x gm of copper to give (1+x)gm of the alloy.
1G=19W, 1C = 9W and alloy = 15W 1gm gold + xgm Copper = (1+x)gm alloy
19W+9Wx = (1+x)*15W x = 4W/6W = 2/3
So ratio of gold and copper is 1:2/3 or 3:2

A tank is filled by 3 pipes with uniform flow. The first two pipes operating simultaneously fill
the tan in the same time during which the tank is filled by the third pipe alone. The 2nd pipe fills
the tank 5 hours faster than first pipe and 4 hours slower than third pipe. The time required by
first pipe is :
13 Hour
Answer:
13 Hour
Explanation:
Suppose, first pipe take x hours to fill the tank then B & C will take (x-5) and (x-9)
hours respectively.
Therefore, 1/x +1/(x-5) =1/(x-9)
On solving, x=15
Hence, time required by first pipe is 15 hours.
17 Hour
15 Hour
None
