4. A bike at a speed of 60km/hr, it covers certain distance in 3 hours and the train can cover the same distance in 1 and half hours then the speed of train is

Explanation

The bike covers a certain distance in 3 hours at a speed of 60km/hr, which means it covers a distance of 180km (60km/hr * 3hr = 180km). The train can cover the same distance in 1 and a half hours, which means it covers a distance of 180km (180km / 1.5hr = 120km/hr). Therefore, the speed of the train is 120km/hr.

Submit
6. Bala buys an equal number of pens, pencils, sketch pens of Rs.2.50, Rs.3, Rs.5 respectively. How many of each did he buy if he spends Rs.168 

Explanation

Bala spends a total of Rs.168 and buys an equal number of pens, pencils, and sketch pens. Let's assume he buys x number of each. The cost of x pens would be 2.50x, the cost of x pencils would be 3x, and the cost of x sketch pens would be 5x. Since the total cost is Rs.168, we can set up the equation 2.50x + 3x + 5x = 168. Combining like terms, we get 10.50x = 168. Dividing both sides by 10.50, we find that x = 16. Therefore, Bala buys 16 pens, 16 pencils, and 16 sketch pens.

Submit
9. In a bag of red and green sweets, the ratio of red sweets to green sweets is 3:4. If the bag contains 120 green sweets, how  many red sweets are there?

Explanation

The ratio of red sweets to green sweets is 3:4, which means that for every 3 red sweets, there are 4 green sweets. Since we know that there are 120 green sweets, we can use this ratio to find the number of red sweets. We can set up a proportion: 3/4 = x/120, where x represents the number of red sweets. Cross-multiplying gives us 4x = 3*120, which simplifies to 4x = 360. Dividing both sides by 4 gives us x = 90. Therefore, there are 90 red sweets.

Submit
10. Ravi buys an old scooter for Rs. 4700 and spends Rs. 800 on its repairs. If he sells the scooter for Rs. 5800, his gain percent is:

Explanation

Ravi bought the scooter for Rs. 4700 and spent Rs. 800 on repairs, so his total cost is Rs. 5500. He sells the scooter for Rs. 5800. To find the gain percent, we need to calculate the gain as a percentage of the cost price. The gain is Rs. 5800 - Rs. 5500 = Rs. 300. The gain percent is (300/5500) * 100 = 5 5/11%.

Submit
11. A can do a work W in 12 days, B can do the same work in 16 days. How many days are needed to complete the work, if both  A and B work together to complete the work? 

Explanation

A can complete 1/12th of the work in a day, while B can complete 1/16th of the work in a day. When they work together, they can complete 1/12 + 1/16 = 7/48th of the work in a day. To find the number of days needed to complete the work, we can take the reciprocal of 7/48, which is 48/7. This can be simplified to 6 6/7, indicating that it will take them 6 6/7 days to complete the work together.

Submit
12. If 20 men take 30 days to complete a job, how many days do 25 men need to complete the same job? 

Explanation

If 20 men take 30 days to complete a job, it means that the total man-days required to complete the job is 20 * 30 = 600. Since the amount of work remains the same, if there are 25 men, they would need fewer days to complete the job. To find out how many days, we divide the total man-days (600) by the number of men (25), which gives us 24 days. Therefore, 25 men would need 24 days to complete the same job.

Submit
13. The average weight of P and Q is 50kg. The average weight of Q and R is 62kg and the average weight of P and R is 52kg. Then the weight of P is:

Explanation

Let the weight of P be x, the weight of Q be y and the weight of R be z. From the given information, we can set up the following equations: (x + y)/2 = 50, (y + z)/2 = 62, and (x + z)/2 = 52. Solving these equations, we find that x = 40. Therefore, the weight of P is 40kg.

Submit
14. What is the probability that a card drawn at random from a deck of cards will be an ace? 

Explanation

The probability of drawing an ace from a deck of cards can be found by dividing the number of aces in the deck (4) by the total number of cards in the deck (52). Therefore, the probability is 1/13.

Submit
15. A zookeeper counted the heads of the animals in a zoo and found it to be 80. When he counted the legs of the animals he  found it to be 260. If the zoo had either pigeons or horses, how many horses were there in the zoo? 

Explanation

The zookeeper counted the heads of the animals and found it to be 80. This means that there are 80 animals in the zoo. When he counted the legs of the animals, he found it to be 260. Since horses have 4 legs, the number of horses can be calculated by dividing the total number of legs by 4. 260 divided by 4 equals 65. However, since the zoo also has pigeons, the number of horses is less than 65. Therefore, the correct answer is 50.

17. If a coin is tossed twice, what is the probability that on the first toss the coin lands heads and on the second toss the coin  lands tails? 

Explanation

The probability of the coin landing heads on the first toss is 1/2, since there are two equally likely outcomes (heads or tails). Similarly, the probability of the coin landing tails on the second toss is also 1/2. To find the probability of both events happening together, we multiply the probabilities: (1/2) * (1/2) = 1/4. Therefore, the probability that on the first toss the coin lands heads and on the second toss the coin lands tails is 1/4.

Submit
18. Superheroes Krish and Shaktiman leave the same camp and run in opposite directions. Krish runs 1 mile per second (mps) and Shaktiman runs 2 mps. How far apart are they in miles after 1 hour? 

Explanation

After 1 hour, Krish would have run 1 mile/second * 60 seconds/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 3600 miles. Similarly, Shaktiman would have run 2 miles/second * 60 seconds/minute * 60 minutes/hour = 7200 miles. Since they are running in opposite directions, the distance between them would be the sum of their distances, which is 3600 miles + 7200 miles = 10800 miles.

Submit
19. Two times of the third of three consecutive even integers is three times of the first. Then the second integer is

Explanation

Let's assume the three consecutive even integers are x, x+2, and x+4. According to the given information, 2 times the third integer (2(x+4)) is equal to 3 times the first integer (3x). Simplifying this equation, we get 2x + 8 = 3x. By subtracting 2x from both sides, we find that 8 = x. Therefore, the second integer (x+2) is equal to 8+2 = 10.

Submit
20. A train overtakes two bikes which are travelling at the speed of 25km/hr and 30km/hr in the same direction the train is moving and crosses them in 18 and 21 seconds respectively. Then the length of the train is:

Explanation

The train overtakes the first bike in 18 seconds and the second bike in 21 seconds. This means that the train is able to cover the distance between the two bikes in 3 seconds (21 - 18 = 3 seconds).

In 3 seconds, the first bike travels a distance of 25 km/hr * (3/3600) hr = 0.2083 km.
In 3 seconds, the second bike travels a distance of 30 km/hr * (3/3600) hr = 0.25 km.

Therefore, the length of the train is the difference between the distances covered by the train and the second bike, which is 0.25 km - 0.2083 km = 0.0417 km = 41.7 m.

Since the train overtakes both bikes, its length must be greater than 41.7 m. The closest option is 175 m.

Submit
21. How many four-digit numbers can you form using ten numbers (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) if the numbers can be used only  once? 

Explanation

There are 10 options for the first digit, 9 options for the second digit, 8 options for the third digit, and 7 options for the fourth digit. Therefore, the total number of four-digit numbers that can be formed is 10 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 5040. However, since the numbers can only be used once, we need to subtract the cases where the first digit is 0. There are 9 options for the first digit (excluding 0), and the remaining digits can be chosen in the same way as before. So, the total number of four-digit numbers that can be formed is 9 x 9 x 8 x 7 = 4536.

Submit
22. Subha and her friend invested in the ratio 5 : 3 in a business. If 4% of the profit is given to charity and Subha's share is Rs.1,200 then what will be the total profit ?

Explanation

Subha's share is given as Rs.1,200. Since Subha's share is 5 parts out of a total of 8 parts (5 + 3), we can calculate the total profit by finding the value of 1 part and then multiplying it by 8. To find the value of 1 part, we divide Rs.1,200 by 5. This gives us Rs.240, which is the value of 1 part. Multiplying Rs.240 by 8 gives us the total profit, which is Rs.1,920. However, 4% of the profit is given to charity, so we need to subtract 4% of Rs.1,920 from the total profit. 4% of Rs.1,920 is Rs.76. Subtracting Rs.76 from Rs.1,920 gives us a final total profit of Rs.1,844. Since this value is not listed as an option, the closest option is Rs.2,000. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs.2,000.

Submit
23. Katie must place five stuffed animals--a duck, a goose, a panda, a turtle and a swan in a row in the display window of a toy  store. How many different displays can she make if the duck and the goose must be either first or last?

Explanation

Katie has five stuffed animals to place in a row in the display window. The duck and the goose must be either first or last, which means there are two possible positions for them. Once the duck and the goose are placed, there are 3 remaining animals to arrange in the remaining 3 positions. The number of ways to arrange these 3 animals is 3!, which is equal to 6. Therefore, the total number of different displays Katie can make is 2 (positions for the duck and the goose) multiplied by 6 (arrangements of the remaining animals), which equals 12.

Submit
24. A three-person committee must be chosen from a group of 7 professors and 10 graduate students. If at least one of the people on the committee must be a professor, how many different groups of people could be chosen for the committee? 

Explanation

Out of the 17 people, we need to choose a committee of three people with at least one professor. We can calculate this by subtracting the total number of committees without any professors from the total number of committees. The total number of committees without any professors can be calculated by choosing 3 people from the 10 graduate students, which is 10 choose 3. The total number of committees can be calculated by choosing 3 people from the 17 total people, which is 17 choose 3. Therefore, the number of committees with at least one professor is 17 choose 3 - 10 choose 3, which simplifies to 560. So, the correct answer is 560.

Submit
25. If the cost price of 20 articles is equal to the selling price of 16 articles, what is the percentage of profit or loss that the merchant makes?

Explanation

The cost price of 20 articles is equal to the selling price of 16 articles. This means that the merchant is selling 16 articles for the same amount that they bought 20 articles for. Since the selling price is higher than the cost price, there is a profit. To find the percentage of profit, we can calculate the difference between the selling price and the cost price, which is 20 - 16 = 4 articles. This profit of 4 articles is 25% of the cost price of 16 articles. Therefore, the merchant makes a 25% profit.

Submit
26. If 5 litres of water is added to a mixture that contains water and milk in the ratio 3:4, then the ratio becomes 5:4. Find the quantity of milk in the given mixture.

Explanation

When 5 liters of water is added to the mixture, the ratio of water to milk becomes 5:4. This means that the quantity of water has increased by 5 liters, while the quantity of milk remains the same. Since the original ratio of water to milk is 3:4, the quantity of water in the original mixture is 3/7 of the total quantity, and the quantity of milk is 4/7 of the total quantity. If the quantity of water increases by 5 liters, it becomes 5/12 of the total quantity, and the quantity of milk remains 4/12 of the total quantity. Simplifying this, we find that the quantity of milk in the original mixture is 10 liters. Therefore, the correct answer is a) 10 liters.

Submit
27. A bus moving at 2/3rd of its normal speed reaches its destination an hour late. What is the usual time taken by the bus to  reach the destination? 

Explanation

The bus is moving at 2/3rd of its normal speed and reaches its destination an hour late. This means that it took the bus an extra hour to cover the distance compared to its normal time. If the bus had been moving at its normal speed, it would have taken the usual time to reach the destination, which is 2 hours.

Submit
28. A train of length 150 meters can cross a bridge in 40 seconds when travelling at a speed of 40km/hr. Then what is the length of the bridge?

Explanation

If the train of length 150 meters takes 40 seconds to cross the bridge, it means that the total distance covered by the train and the bridge is 150 meters. To calculate the length of the bridge, we need to subtract the length of the train from the total distance covered. Since the train is 150 meters long, the length of the bridge would be 150 meters more than the total distance covered, which is 150 + 150 = 300 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is 183 meters.

Submit
29. In a forest, the ratio of lions to tigers is 31 : 23 respectively. When 75 more tigers added the ratio becomes 124 : 107. How many more tigers should be added to make the number of lions and tigers equal?

30. There are 128 boxes in a room containing Oranges. Number of oranges in a box may be a number from 125 to 144. What is the minimum number of boxes that contain same number of oranges? 

Explanation

The minimum number of boxes that contain the same number of oranges can be found by dividing the total number of oranges (128) by the maximum number of oranges in a box (144). This calculation gives us a quotient of 0.8888, which means that it is not possible to have a whole number of boxes with the same number of oranges. However, if we round down to the nearest whole number, we get 0. This means that there are 0 boxes with the same number of oranges. Therefore, the minimum number of boxes that contain the same number of oranges is 0.
