Question: A truck covers a distance of 240 km at a certain speed in 8 hours. How much time would a car take at an average speed which is 18 kmph more than that of the speed of the truck to cover a distance which is 0 km more than that travelled by the truck ?
Options:
A)6 hours
B)5 hours
C)7 hours
D)8 hours
E)None
Rationale: Explanation :
Speed of the truck = Distance/time = 240/8 = 30 kmph
Now, speed of car = (speed of truck + 18) kmph = (30 + 18) = 48 kmph
Distance travelled by car = 240 + 0 = 240 km
Time taken by car = Distance/Speed = 240/48 = 5 hours.

Question: What is the minimum number of square marbles required to tile a floor of length 5 metres 78 cm and width 3 metres 06 cm?
Options:
A)153
B)187
C)540
D)748
E)546
Rationale: The marbles used to tile the floor are square marbles.
Therefore, the length of the marble=width of the marble.the length of the marble=width of the marble.
As we have to use whole number of marbles, the side of the square should a factor of both 5 m 78 cm and 3m 06. And it should be the highest factor of 5 m 78 cm and 3m 06.
5 m 78 cm = 578 cm and 3 m 06 cm = 306 cm.
The HCF of 578 and 306 = 34.
Hence, the side of the square is 34.
The number of such square marbles required,
=578×306/34×34
=153 marbles

Question: Siddharth wants to borrow Rs.9000 at rate of interest 6% p.a. at S.I and lend the same amount at C.I at same rate of interest for two years. What would be his income in the above transaction?
Options:
A)s.21.60
B)s.32.40
C)s.21.18
D)s.21.98
E)s.21.29
Rationale: Amount of money Siddharth borrowed at S.I at 6% p.a. for two years = Rs.9,000
He lend the same amount for C.I at 6% p.a. for two years.
=> Siddharth's income = C.I - S.I
= p[1 + r/ 100]n - p - pnr/100
= p{ [1 + r/ 100]2 - 1 - nr/100
= 9,000{ [1 + 6/100]2 - 1 - 12/100}
= 9,000 {(1.06)2- 1 - 0.12} = 9,000(1.1236 - 1 - 0.12)
= 9,000 (0.0036) = 9 * 3.6

Question: A man covers a distance of 1200 km in 70 days resting 9 hours a day, if he rests 10 hours a day and walks with speed 1Â½ times of the previous in how many days will he cover 840 km ?
Options:
A)25 days
B)75 days
C)35 days
D)15 days
E)05 days
Rationale: Explanation:
Distance d = 1200km
let S be the speed
he walks 15 hours a day(i.e 24 - 9)
so totally he walks for 70 x 15 = 1050hrs.
S = 1200/1050 => 120/105 = 24/21 => 8/7kmph
given 1 1/2 of previous speed
so 3/2 * 8/7= 24/14 = 12/7
New speed = 12/7kmph
Now he rests 10 hrs a day that means he walks 14 hrs a day.
time = 840 x 7 /12 => 490 hrs
=> 490/14 = 35 days
So he will take 35 days to cover 840 km.

Then ,we have, 83.33, 150 and 208.33 liters of milk in each of the three containers.
Thus, the total milk is 441.66 liters.
Hence, the amount of water in the mixture is 1400-441.66=958.33liters.
Hence,
the ratio of milk to water is 441.66:958.33 => 53:115(using division by .3333)
The calculation thought process should be
(441*2+2):(958*3+1)=1325:2875
Dividing by 25 => 53:115.
ANSWER A 53:115

Question: For 600 km journey it will take 8hrs, if 120 km is done by bus and the rest by car. It takes 20 minutes more, if 200 km is done by busand the rest by car. The ratio of the speed of the train to that of the cars is?
Options:
A)1 : 3
B)3 : 4
C)2 : 3
D)2 : 5
E)1 : 7
Rationale: Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr.
Then,	120	+	480	= 8 1	+	4	=	1	....(i)
x	y	x	y	15
And,	200	+	400	=	25 1	+	2	=	1	....(ii)
x	y	3	x	y	24
Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60 and y = 80.
Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.

Question: Robin is traveling from one end of a forest to the other. In order to find her way back, she is leaving morsels of bread in the following pattern: 2 morsels of GRAIN, 3 morsels of white, and 1 morsel of rye. The pattern repeats after she leaves the morsel of rye. If Robin drops 2,000 morsels of bread, what are the last 3 morsels of bread that she drops?
Options:
A)rye − wheat − wheat
B)wheat − wheat − white
C)white − rye − wheat
D)RYE-GRAIN-GRAIN
E)white − white − rye
Rationale: Q is nothing BUT asking about remainder..
total morsels thrown before the pattern is repeated = 2+3+1 = 6..
so REMAINDER when 2000 is div by 6..
1998 is EVEN and also div by 3, so remainder is 2..
Last 3 of morsels are 1998-1999-2000
so he uses the last of morsel of pattern in 1998 two of the first morsels of the pattern in 1999 and 2000, and the pattern is G, G, W, W, W, R..
ans R-G-G
