ans = 28/256

Q4. The Rectangle Box With Square Base Is Open At The Top. The Maximum Volume Of The Box Made From 1200 M2 Tin,in M3 Is?

Let the length be x and the breadth be y.

Now since it has a square base;

x=y

Now the surface area can be given as S= x^2+4xy (Area of square base + Area of Sides)

And Volume can be given as V = x^2y

ATQ, S=1200,so 1200=X2+4xy

y=(1200-x2)/4x

Now for V to be max

V'=0

V'(x)=x2y

Solving for x we get x=20

Now y=20m

Hence volume is 20x20x10=4000 m3

Q5. The Square Of A Two Digit Number Is Divided By Half The Number. After 36 Is Added To The Quotient, This Sum Is Then Divided By

Let the number be 10A + B = C

now, (C^2/(C/2) + 36)/2= 10B + A

or, (2C+36)/2 = 10B + A

or C+18=10B+A

or, 10A + B + 18 = 10 B + A

or, 18=9(B-A), giving B-A=2

As per the question, A=twice the difference between A and B

Hence A=2*2=4

B=2+4=6

The original number is 40 + 6 = 46.

Q18. 1st 3 Letters Are Denoted By Its Next In The Alphabet And The Next 3 Letters Are Denoted By Its Previous In The Alphabets A Monkey Starts Climbing Up A Tree 20ft. Tall. Each Hour, It Hops 3ft. And Sl

The first hour, the monkey goes 3 feet up, and slips back 2 feet.

0.1..2..3..4..5..6

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

---------->

....<-----

(Imagine that's going up instead of horizontal.)

So the monkey is 3 ft - 2 ft = 1 ft high after one hour.

In the second hour, the monkey goes up 3 more feet, and slips back 2 feet. So he's at 1 ft + 3 ft - 2 ft = 2 ft.

Every hour, he gains 3 ft and loses 2 ft, for a total gain of 1 ft. So after the 17th hour, he's at 17 ft high.

Now, here's the twist: in the 18th hour, he climbs up 3 feet. Since 17 ft + 3 ft = 20 ft, he's at the top of the tree!

So, it takes him 18 hours.

Q21. A Number Of Cats Got Together And Decided To Kill Between Them 999919 Mice. Every Cat Killed An Equal Number Of Mice. Each Cat Killed More Mice Than There Were Cats. How Many Cats Do You Think There W

Observing the num 999919 which is the total num of rats being eaten, we can write it as

(1000000-81) = (1000^2-9^2) = (1000+9)(1000-9) = (1009)(991)

So total num of rats killed =(1009)(991)

And given that each cat kills more num of rats than the total num of cats

Hence each cat kills 1009 num of rats

And there are 991 num of cats

Q22. The Difference Between The Compound And Simple Interest On A Certain Sum For 2 Years At The Rate Of 8% Per Annum Is Rs.80,what Is The Sum?

Since we know that SI and CI are same for first year. Difference is due to the SI of 1st year is treated as PRINCIPLE of 2nd year in CI.

So 1st we calculate the amount which treated as P in CI

P = 100*SI/R*T = 100*80/8*1 = 1000

This amount is also the SI for 1 year.

So

SI = 1000

T = 1 Year

R = 8%

P = 100*1000/8*1 = 12500

Q24. After Spending 2/3 Of His Salary On Rent And Food Items And 1/4th Of The Remaining On Transportation, Rajesh Has 6000 With Him. How Much Did He Pay On Transportation?

Let x be the salary.

Then if he spends (2/3)x on rent and food then the remaining salary is x/3,

Out of which he spends 1/4 i.e(x/3)1/4 or x/12 on transportation...and the amount left thereafter is : ( x/3 ) - ( x/12 ) = x/4

Given..the amount left with Rajesh is : 6000 = x/4

=> Salary of Rajesh 'x' is : 6000 * 4 = Rs.24,000

Amount spent on rent and food = 24000 * (2/3) = Rs.16,000

Remaining amount : 24000 - 16000 = Rs.8000

Amount spent on transportation : 8000 * (1/4) = Rs.2000

Remaining amount : 8000 - 2000 = Rs.6000,the amount left with Rajesh

So answer is : 2000

Q29. A Sum 's' Is Divided Into 4 Parts. Second Person Gets Rs 10 More Than First.3rd Person Is Rs 10 More Than Second, 4th Is 10 More Than 3rd. How Much Amount Do 1st Person Get.?

1st person gets Rs.(s-60)/4

Let us assume that 1st person gets Rs.x

Then 2nd will get Rs.x+10

3rd will get Rs.x+20

4th will get Rs.x+30

Then the sum s=x+(x+10)+(x+20)+(x+30)

=> s=4x+60

=> 4x=s-60

=> x=(s-60)/4

Therefore 1st pesron will get (s-60)/4

Q30. The Minute Hand Of A Clock Overtakes The Hour Hand At Intervals Of 64 Minutes Of Correct Time. How Much A Day Does The Clock Gain Or Lose?

Simple explanation by Juned:

The minute hand overtakes hours hand 11 times in 12 hours

Therefore the time taken by the minute to overtake = (12 * 60)/11

                                                                           = 65.4545 minutes

In this clock the minute hand is taking 64 minutes to overtake

Therefore in 12 hours it will overtake 720/64 = 11.25 times

That means 0.25 times more in 12 hours or 0.5 times more in a day

Hence, the clock gains = 0.5 times of the normal time

65.4545 * 0.5 = 32.72 minutes or 360/11 minutes

Explanation by a4academics

Let

x be distance traveled by hour hand

Then distance traveled by minute hand = 1 + x

Time = Distance/Rate

x/(1/12) = (1 + x)/1

x = (1/12)(1 + x) = 1/12 + x/12

(11/12)x = 1/12

x = 1/11

Calculate time for minute hand to travel a distance 1 + x.

Time = Distance/Rate

(1 + x)/1 = 1 + x = 1 + 1/11 = 12/11 hour

Actual time to overtake on clock is 64 minutes.

64 min = 64/60 hours = 16/15 hour

Correct Clock Speed/Actual Clock Speed

(12/11) / (16/15) = 12*15 / (11*16) = 180/176 = 45/44

The clock gains:

45/44 - 1 = 1/44 day = 24/44 hour = 6/11 hour = 360/11 min

= 32 min and 434/11 sec.

Q36. The Average Age Of 10 Members Of A Committee Is The Same As It Was 4 Years Ago, Because An Old Member Has Been Replaced By A Young Member.find How Much Younger Is The New Member ?

Let the members be Old Having age O + other 9 having ages x and New one having age Y

Sum of their ages = (Y + 9 × x) and average = (Y + 9 × x)/10

Before 4 years sum was (O + 9 x – 10 × 4) and average = (O + 9 x – 10 × 4) /10

equating, Y + 9 x = O + 9x – 40

Y = O – 40

Younger is 40 years younger than Old one.

Q38. A Certain Type Of Mixture Is Prepared By Mixing Brand A At Rs.9 A Kg. With Brand B At Rs.4 A Kg. If The Mixture Is Worth Rs.7 A Kg., How Many Kgs. Brand A Are Needed To Make 40kgs. Of The Mixture?

A + B = 40.

And at Rs 7 a kg for 40 kg, you want a total of Rs.280.

So the second equation is 9A + 4B = 280

From the first equation: B = 40 - A

and sub into the second equation:

9A + 4(40-A) = 280

9A + 160 - 4A = 280

5A = 120

A = 24.

Your answer, of course, is A = 24.
