Question: A rectangular football field is fenced on all four sides. The length of the football field is twice the length of its breadth. The cost of fencing the field was $360. The football management has decided to change the dimensions of field by decreasing the breadth by 50% of its original value and increasing the length by 25% of its original value and fence the field again.. What will be the cost of the new fencing?
(A) $360
(B) $180
(C) $425
(D) $405
(E) $415
Rationale: Let's take x to be the breadth. Then the length of the football field is 2x.
The perimeter of the old football field is x + 2x + x + 2x = 6x.
Now, for the new football field:
The new breadth = 0.5 times old breadth = 0.5x
The new length is 1.25 times old length = (1.25)2x = 2.5x
So the new perimeter is 0.5x + 2.5x + 0.5x + 2.5x = 6x.
The new perimeter is the same as the older perimeter! So presumably the cost is the same at $360.
Ans - A
Answer: (A) $360

Question: Find the odd man out. 1050, 510, 242, 104, 46, 16, 3
(A) 46
(B) 104
(C) 510
(D) 1050
(E) None of these
Rationale: Explanation :
1050
(1050 - 30)/2 = 510
(510 - 26)/2 = 242
(242 - 22)/2 = 110
(110 - 18)/2 = 46
(46- 14)/2 = 16
(16- 10)/2 = 3
Hence, 110 should have come in place of 104. Answer : Option B

Question: A train passes a platform in 44 seconds. The same train passes a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, The length of the platform is
(A) 240
(B) 250
(C) 360
(D) 230
(E) 220
Rationale: Speed of the train = 54 km/hr = (54×10)/36 m/s = 15 m/s
Length of the train = speed × time taken to cross the man = 15×20 = 300 m
Let the length of the platform = L
Time taken to cross the platform = (300+L)/15
=> (300+L)/15 = 36
=> 300+L = 15×44 = 660
=> L = 660-300 = 360 meter
Answer is C.
Answer: (C) 360
