Question: Two trains start at same time from two stations and proceed towards each other at the rate of 20 km/hr and 25 km/hr respectively. When they meet, it is found that one train has traveled 70 km more than the other. What is the distance between the two stations?
A.630 km
B.540 km
C.276 km
D.178 km
Answer: A.630 km
Explanation: Explanation:
Let us assume that trains meet after 'x' hours
Distance = speed * Time
Distance traveled by two trains = 20x km and 25x km resp.
As one train travels 70 km more than the other,
25x â€“ 20x = 70
5x = 70
x = 14 hours
As the two trains are moving towards each other, relative speed = 20 + 25 = 45 km/hr
Therefore, total distance = 45*14= 630 km.

Question: In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'MATHEMATICS' be arranged such that the vowels must always come together?
A.9800
B.100020
C.120960
D.140020
Answer: C.120960
Explanation: Explanation:
The word 'MATHEMATICS' has 11 letters. It has the vowels 'A','E','A','I' in it and these 4 vowels must always come together. Hence these 4 vowels can be grouped and considered as a single letter. That is, MTHMTCS(AEAI).
Hence we can assume total letters as 8. But in these 8 letters, 'M' occurs 2 times, 'T' occurs 2 times but rest of the letters are different.
Hence,number of ways to arrange these letters
=8!(2!)(2!)=8!(2!)(2!) =8Ã—7Ã—6Ã—5Ã—4Ã—3Ã—2Ã—1(2Ã—1)(2Ã—1)=10080=8Ã—7Ã—6Ã—5Ã—4Ã—3Ã—2Ã—1(2Ã—1)(2Ã—1)=10080
In the 4 vowels (AEAI), 'A' occurs 2 times and rest of the vowels are different.
Number of ways to arrange these vowels among themselves =4!2!=4Ã—3Ã—2Ã—12Ã—1=12=4!2!=4Ã—3Ã—2Ã—12Ã—1=12
Hence, required number of ways
=10080Ã—12=120960

Question: In a caravan, in addition to 50 hens, there are 45 goats and 8 camels with some keepers. If the total number of feet be 224 more than the number of heads in the caravan, the number of keepers is
A.5
B.8
C.10
D.15
Answer: D.15
Explanation: Explanation:
Let number of keepers be x. Then,
Total number of feet = 2 x 50 + 4 x 45 + 4 x 8 + 2x = 2x + 312.
Total number of heads = 50 + 45 + 8 + x= 103 + x.
Therefore (2x + 312) = (103 + x) + 224 or x = 15.
Answer: D
Question: Three positive integers a, b, and c are such that their average is 20 and a ≤ b ≤ c. If the median is (a + 11), what is the least possible value of c?
A.23
B.21
C.25
D.26
Answer: C.25
Explanation: Solution
Given Data
3 positive integers
Average of a, b, and c = 20.
So, a+b+c3a+b+c3 = 20 or a + b + c = 60
a ≤ b ≤ c
Median = (a + 11)
Median of these 3 numbers a, b, and c is ‘b’ because a ≤ b ≤ c
Therefore, b = a + 11
Objective To find the least value of 'c'
Theoretically, the least value of c is when c = b.
Therefore, a + (a + 11) + (a + 11) = 60 (b and c are equal and b, the median, is a + 11)
Or 3a = 38 or a = 12.66
So, b = c = 12.66 + 11 = 23.66
However, we know that these numbers are all integers.
Therefore, a, b, and c cannot take these values.
So, the least value for c with this constraint is NOT likely to be when c = b
Let us increment c by 1. Let c = (b + 1)
In this scenario, a + (a + 11) + (a + 12) = 60
Or 3a = 37. The value of the numbers is not an integer in this scenario as well.
Let us increment c again by 1. i.e., c = b + 2
Now, a + (a + 11) + (a + 13) = 60
Or 3a = 36 or a = 12.
If a = 12, b = 23 and c = 25.
The least value for c that satisfies all these conditions is 25.
Correct answer is choice C.

Question: A certain amount becomes Rs. 5760 in 2 years and Rs. 6912 in 3 years. What is the principal amount and the rate of interest?
A.Rs. 3050
B.Rs. 3150
C.Rs. 3450
D.Rs. 4000
Answer: D.Rs. 4000
Explanation: SI on Rs. 5760 for 1 year = 6912 – 5760 = Rs. 1152
Therefore, Rate of interest for 1 year = 100*1152/5760*1 = 20%
Let the principal be p.
Then, Principal = p[1+ 20/100]2 = 5760
Solving which gives Principal = Rs. 4000 ANSWER : D

D.16.33%
Answer: A.33.33%
Explanation: let total % of work is 100%
total person=p
1/4 person are absent of total person . so absent person is 1/4p ie p/4.
left person is, p-p/4=3p/4.
p person do the work 100%
1 person do the work 100*p%
3p/4 person do the work (100*p*4)/3p%=133.33%
work increased for each person is=(133.33-100)%=33.33%

Question: The ratio of sodium chloride to ammonium in 100 kg of mixed ammonium normally used by three chemists is 3: 13. The amount of sodium chloride to be added to 100 kg of mixed ammonium to make the ratio 9 :25 is
A.10.5 kg
B.6.625 kg
C.6.25 kg
D.6.35 kg
Answer: A.10.5 kg
Explanation: sodium chloride in 100 kg = 3/16 x 100 = 18.75 kg
ammonium in 100 kg = 13/16 x 100 = 81.25 kg
Now 81.25 is 25 parts out of (25 + 9) = 34 parts.
Hence 9 parts = 9/25 x 81.25 = 29.25
Amount to be added = 29.25 - 18.75= 10.5 Kg

Question: Two children want to walk together to visit their aunt, who lives exactly 6 blocks north and 5 blocks east of their current location. If they travel only along streets and do not travel diagonally, the shortest possible route connecting the two points is exactly 11 blocks. How many different 11-block routes may they take to travel the shortest possible distance to their aunt’s house?
A.11!/(6!*5!)
B.11!/(6*5)
C.11!*6!*5!
D.6!*5!
Answer: A.11!/(6!*5!)
Explanation: If they need to walk 6 blocks north and 5 blocks east, we can express this route as NNNNNNEEEEE. The question thus asks us how many ways we can arrange those letters.
The number of arrangements of 11 things is 11!
We then divide by the repetitions of N's and E's, which are 6! and 5! respectively.
The number of walking routes is 11!/(6!*5!).
The answer is A.

Question: Given that a is the average (arithmetic mean) of the first nine positive multiples of six and b is the median of the first seven positive multiples of six, what is the ratio of a to b?
A.5:4
B.10:13
C.5:6
D.13:10
Answer: A.5:4
Explanation: The first nine positive multiples of six are {6, 12, 18, 24,30, 36, 42, 48, 54}
The first twelve positive multiples of six are {6, 12, 18, 24, 30,36,42 }
Both sets are evenly spaced, thus their median=mean:
a=30 and b=24 --> a/b=30/24=5/4.
Answer: A.

Question: A family consists of grandparents, parents and three grandchildren. The average age of the grandparents is 67 years, that of the parents is 35 years and that of the grandchildren is 6 years. What is the average age of the family ?
A.31( 5/7
B.31( 5/9
C.31( 5/6
D.31( 5/3
Answer: A.31( 5/7
Explanation: Explanation:
Required average = (67 * 2 + 35 * 2 + 6 * 3) / (2 + 2 + 3)
= (134 + 70 + 18) / 7 = 222 / 7 = 31(5/7) years.
Answer: A) 31( 5/7)
Question: When the positive integer x is divided by 5 and 7, the remainder is 3 and 4, respectively. When the positive integer y is divided by 5 and 7, the remainder is 3 and 4, respectively. Which of the following is a factor of x-y?
A. 12
B. 24
C. 35
D. 16
Answer: C. 35
Explanation: If I have a number n which when divided by 5 gives a remainder 3 and when divided by 7 gives a remainder 4, the number is of the form:
n = 5x + 3
n = 7y + 4
I will need to check for the smallest such number.
I put y= 1. n = 11. Is it of the form 5x + 3? No.
Put y= 2. n = 18. Is it of the form 5x + 3? Yes.
When 18 is divided by 5, it gives a remainder of 3. When it is divided by 7, it gives a remainder if 4.
Next such number will be 35 + 18 because 35 will be divisible by 5 as well as 7 and whatever is the remainder from 18, will still be the remainder
Next will be 35*2 + 18
and so on...
Difference between such numbers will be a multiple of 35 so your answer is 35.
your answer is C
Question: The length of a rectangle is two - fifths of the radius of a circle. The radius of the circle is equal to the side of the square, whose area is 1225 sq.units. What is the area (in sq.units) of the rectangle if the rectangle if the breadth is 10 units?
A.140
B.156
C.175
D.214
Answer: A.140
Explanation: Given that the area of the square = 1225 sq.units
=> Side of square = √1225 = 35 units
The radius of the circle = side of the square = 35 units Length of the rectangle = 2/5 * 35 = 14 units
Given that breadth = 10 units
Area of the rectangle = lb = 14 * 10 = 140 sq.units
