question: A man walks at a speed of 3 km/hr and runs at a speed of 7 km/hr. How much time will the man require to cover a distance of 10 1/2 km, if he completes half of the distance, i.e., (5 1/4) km on foot and the other half by running?
Options:
(A) 2 1/2
(B) 2 1/6
(C) 4 1/2
(D) 2 1/1
(E) 2 1/8
answer: Stream of consciousness: Required time = (5 1/4)/3 + (5 1/4)/7 = 2 1/2 hours. The answer is (A).

q: Some persons can do a piece of work in 32 days. Two times the number of these people will do half of that work in?
Options:
(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 6
(E) 8
a: Stream of consciousness: 32/ (2 * 2) = 8 days The answer is (E).

question: A train 140 m long, running with a speed of 63 km/hr will pass a tree in?
Options:
(A) 18 sec
(B) 6 sec
(C) 8 sec
(D) 15 sec
(E) 7 sec
answer: Stream of consciousness: Speed = 63 * 5/18 = 35/2 m/sec
Time taken = 140 * 2/35 = 8 se The answer is (C).

q: Which of the following is a prime number ?
Options:
(A) 90
(B) 94
(C) 96
(D) 97

a: Stream of consciousness: Clearly, 97 is a prime number. The answer is (D).

question: A man rows his boat 70 km downstream and 45 km upstream, taking 2 1/2 hours each time. Find the speed of the stream?
Options:
(A) 1 kmph
(B) 6 kmph
(C) 5 kmph
(D) 8 kmph
(E) 7 kmph
answer: Stream of consciousness: Speed downstream = d/t = 75/(2 1/2) = 28 kmph
Speed upstream = d/t = 45/(2 1/2) = 18 kmph
The speed of the stream = (28 - 18)/2 = 5 kmph The answer is (C).

question: A wheel rotates 20 times every minute and moves 20 cm during each rotation. How many metres does the wheel move in one hour?
Options:
(A) 4 metre
(B) 12 metre
(C) 240 metre
(D) 2400 metre
(E) 130 metre
answer:
Stream of consciousness: Number of times wheel moves in 1 hour = 20 * 60 = 1200
:. Distance moves = (1200*20) cms = 24000 cms
In metres = 240 metre The answer is (C).
