When conducting an inventory of the PE storage room, Coach Carlson found several basketballs, softballs, footballs and baseballs in a locker. He found 4, 6, 8 and 10 of them (a different number for each type). He recorded that: There are fewer softballs than footballs. There are 6 more baseballs than basketballs. How many footballs are there?
- A.
4
- B.
6
- C.
8
- D.
10
Correct Answer
C. 8Explanation
There are 6 more baseballs than basketballs, so if we assume there are x basketballs, then there are x + 6 baseballs. There are fewer softballs than footballs, so if we assume there are y footballs, then there are y + 1 softballs. The total number of balls is given as 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 = 28. We can set up the equation x + (x + 6) + (y + 1) + y = 28. Simplifying the equation gives us 2x + 2y + 7 = 28. Solving for x and y gives us x = 5 and y = 7. Therefore, there are 8 footballs.Rate this question:

Assume that published books are classified as novels, short stories, or story books according to the following classification: A novel has at least 300 pages. A short story has at most 100 pages. A story book has at most 500 pages. What can we say about a book that has 400 pages?
- A.
Either a Novel or a Story Book
- B.
It is a Novel
- C.
It is a Short Story
- D.
It is a Story Book
- E.
Either a Short Story or a story book
Correct Answer
A. Either a Novel or a Story BookExplanation
A book that has 400 pages can be classified as either a novel or a story book because it meets the criteria for both classifications. It has at least 300 pages, which qualifies it as a novel, and it also has at most 500 pages, which qualifies it as a story book. Therefore, we can confidently say that the book is either a novel or a story book.Rate this question:

In front of you are 3 chests: Chest A has been labelled with "100 gold coins," Chest B has been labelled with "50 gold and 50 silver coins," and Chest C has been labelled with "100 silver coins." You are told that all of the labels are incorrectly placed, as they describe the contents of another one of the chests. To help you determine which is the chest that contains 100 gold coins, you are allowed to randomly pick a coin from a chest of your choice. Which chest should you choose from?
- A.
Chest C
- B.
Chest B
- C.
Chest A
- D.
Not Enough Information
Correct Answer
B. Chest BExplanation
To determine which chest contains 100 gold coins, you should choose Chest B. If the label on Chest B is incorrect, then it must contain 100 gold coins. If the label on Chest A is incorrect, it cannot contain 100 gold coins because it is labeled as such. If the label on Chest C is incorrect, it cannot contain 100 gold coins because it is labeled as containing 100 silver coins. Therefore, Chest B is the only option that could potentially contain 100 gold coins.Rate this question:

Aldith, Bogdan and Chedomir are gathered in a medieval tavern. One of them is a knight who always tells the truth, one of them is a knave who always lies, and one of them is a jester who can either tell the truth or lie. Aldith says, "I am not a knave." Bogdan says, "I am a knave." Chedomir says, "I am not a knave." Who is the jester?
- A.
Aldith
- B.
Bogdan
- C.
Chedomir
Correct Answer
B. BogdanExplanation
In this scenario, both Aldith and Chedomir claim to not be knaves. If either of them were the jester, they would have the ability to lie and could potentially be a knave. However, Bogdan openly admits to being a knave, which means he cannot be the knight who always tells the truth. Therefore, the only option left is that Bogdan is the jester, as the jester can either tell the truth or lie.Rate this question:

While Danny, Edmund and Frank were out trekking in the wilderness, they were ambushed and captured by cannibals. The cannibals give the men a possible chance to escape. Danny, Edmund and Frank are lined up in order, so that Danny can see Edmund and Frank, and Edmund can see Frank only, while Frank cannot see anyone else. The cannibals take out 5 hats, of which 3 are black and 2 are white, and show these to the men. The hats are then placed on each man's head (one hat per head), without the men knowing what color their own hat is, nor the color of the remaining hats. The men will be set free if they can correctly guess the color of their hats. Danny looks at the hats of the people in front of him and says, "I do not know." Edmund looks at the hat of Frank in front of him and says, "I do not know." What should Frank say?
- A.
Black !
- B.
I d not Know
- C.
White !
Correct Answer
A. Black !Explanation
Frank should say "Black!" The reason is that Danny and Edmund both said "I do not know," which means that they cannot see two white hats in front of them. Since there are only 2 white hats available, Frank can deduce that he must be wearing a black hat. Therefore, he confidently says "Black!"Rate this question:

Robinson Crusoe was shipwrecked on an island. He quickly learned that each villager that he meets is either a truth-teller who always only tells the truth, or is a liar who always only lies. One day, he meets 3 villagers and asks them "How many truth-tellers are there amongst you?" He received the following three replies (one from each of the villagers): "Zero," "One," "Two." How many truth-tellers are there amongst the 3 villagers?
- A.
Zero
- B.
One
- C.
Two
- D.
Three
- E.
Not Enough Information
Correct Answer
B. OneExplanation
Based on the given information, Robinson Crusoe asked each villager how many truth-tellers there are among them. One villager replied "Zero," another replied "One," and the third replied "Two." Since a truth-teller always tells the truth, we can conclude that the villager who replied "One" is a truth-teller. The other two villagers must be liars because their responses contradict the truth-teller's answer. Therefore, there is only one truth-teller among the three villagers.Rate this question:

There are two men. One of them is wearing a red shirt, and one is wearing a blue shirt. The two men are named Andrew and Bob, but we do not know which is Andrew and which is Bob. The guy in the blue shirt says, “I am Andrew.” The guy in the red shirt says, “I am Bob.” If we know that at least one of them lied, then what color shirt is Andrew wearing?
- A.
Not Enough Information
- B.
Red
- C.
Blue
Correct Answer
B. RedExplanation
Based on the information given, if we assume that both men are telling the truth, then there is a contradiction because both men claim to be a different person. Therefore, we can conclude that at least one of them is lying. Since the guy in the blue shirt claims to be Andrew, and we know that at least one of them is lying, it means that the guy in the blue shirt is lying. Therefore, the guy in the red shirt is Andrew, and he is wearing a red shirt.Rate this question:

There are 3 friends named A, B, and C. One of them is the Knight who always tells the truth, one is the Knave who always lies, and one is the Jester who can tell the truth as well as lie. One day in the king's court, the three friends have a conversation. A says, "I am not the Knave." B says, "I am the Knave." C says, "I am not the Knave." Who is the Jester?
- A.
Cannot be Determined
- B.
A
- C.
C
- D.
B
Correct Answer
C. CExplanation
In this scenario, A claims to not be the Knave, which means A is either the Knight or the Jester. B claims to be the Knave, which means B cannot be the Knight. C claims to not be the Knave, which means C cannot be the Knave. Since A and B cannot be the Jester, and C's statement is consistent with being the Jester, we can conclude that C is the Jester.Rate this question:

John tells the truth on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays, but lies on every other day. One day he said, “I will tell the truth tomorrow.” On which day of the week did he make this statement?
- A.
A. Saturday
- B.
Sunday
- C.
Tuesday
- D.
Thursday
- E.
Friday
Correct Answer
C. TuesdayExplanation
John tells the truth on Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, but lies on every other day. If John made the statement "I will tell the truth tomorrow," it means that he will tell the truth the next day. Since John tells the truth on Saturdays, the next day after Saturday is Sunday. However, John lies on Sundays, so he cannot make this statement on Sunday. Therefore, the only possible day for John to make this statement is on Tuesday.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. 2Explanation
The only statement that can be true is Bob's statement, "Exactly two of us are Knights." If this statement is true, then there must be two Knights in the group. All the other statements contradict each other or are impossible given Bob's statement. Therefore, there are 2 Knights in the group.Rate this question:

An island has only two types of people: Knights (who always speak the truth) and Knaves (who always lie). I met two men who lived there and asked the taller man if they were both Knights. He replied, but from his answer, I could not figure out what type of person each man was, so I asked the shorter man if the taller man was a Knight. He replied, and after that I knew which type of person each man was. Were the men Knights or Knaves?
- A.
A. The taller was a Knight and the shorter was a Knave
- B.
They were both knaves
- C.
C. They were both Knights.
- D.
The taller was a Knave and the shorter was a Knight.
Correct Answer
D. The taller was a Knave and the shorter was a Knight.Explanation
If the taller man was a Knight, he would have told the truth when asked if they were both Knights. Since the answer was not clear, we can conclude that the taller man is a Knave. When the shorter man was asked if the taller man was a Knight, he replied truthfully, which means he is a Knight. Therefore, the taller man is a Knave and the shorter man is a Knight.Rate this question:

On one side of the card it is written that "The statement on the other side of this card is true" And on the other side it is written that "The statement on the other side of this card is false" Which statements is/are true?
- A.
First statement is true
- B.
Second Statement is true
- C.
Both statements are true
- D.
This is an impossible scenario
Correct Answer
D. This is an impossible scenarioExplanation
This is an impossible scenario because if the first statement is true, then the statement on the other side of the card must also be true. However, if the statement on the other side is true, then it contradicts the first statement, making it false. On the other hand, if the first statement is false, then the statement on the other side must also be false. But this also contradicts the second statement, making it true. Therefore, there is no consistent truth value for both statements, making it an impossible scenario.Rate this question:

Who paid the bill for the book?
- A.
Sheldon paid the entire bill
- B.
Leonard paid the entire bill
- C.
Raj paid the entire bill
Correct Answer
C. Raj paid the entire billExplanation
If Sheldon is telling the truth, then he didn't pay for anything, which contradicts Leonard's statement that he paid for everything. If Leonard is telling the truth, then Raj must be lying because Leonard said he paid for everything, leaving no room for Raj to have shared the bill. Therefore, Raj must be telling the truth, meaning he paid the entire bill.Rate this question:

If the letters of the word "rachit" are arranged in all possible ways and these words are written out as in a dictionary, what is the rank of the word "rachit".
- A.
485
- B.
480
- C.
478
- D.
481
Correct Answer
D. 481Explanation
The rank of a word in a dictionary is determined by arranging all the letters of the word in alphabetical order and counting the number of words that come before it. In this case, if we arrange the letters of the word "rachit" in alphabetical order, we get "achirt". By looking at the words starting with "a", we can see that there are 480 words before "achirt". However, since "rachit" starts with the letter "r", it will come after all the words starting with "a". Therefore, the rank of the word "rachit" is 481.Rate this question:

- D.
30%
Correct Answer
C. 33 .33 %Explanation
If Ravi's salary was reduced by 25%, it means he is currently earning 75% of his original salary. To bring his salary back to the original level, we need to calculate the percentage increase from 75% to 100%. By using the formula (new value - original value) / original value * 100, we can calculate that the percentage increase needed is (100 - 75) / 75 * 100 = 33.33%. Therefore, the correct answer is 33.33%.Rate this question:

A and B can finish a piece of work in 20 days .B and C in 30 days and C and A in 40 days. In how many days will A alone finish the job
- A.
48
- B.
240 /7
- C.
44
- D.
45
Correct Answer
A. 48Explanation
Based on the given information, we can determine the individual work rates of A, B, and C. Let's assume that the total work is represented by 120 units (a common multiple of 20, 30, and 40).
From the first statement, we know that A and B together can finish the work in 20 days. Therefore, their combined work rate is 120 units / 20 days = 6 units/day.
From the second statement, we know that B and C together can finish the work in 30 days. Therefore, their combined work rate is 120 units / 30 days = 4 units/day.
From the third statement, we know that C and A together can finish the work in 40 days. Therefore, their combined work rate is 120 units / 40 days = 3 units/day.
Now, let's subtract the combined work rates from the individual work rates to find the work rates of each person.
A's work rate = A and B's work rate - B and C's work rate = 6 units/day - 4 units/day = 2 units/day.
B's work rate = A and B's work rate - C and A's work rate = 6 units/day - 3 units/day = 3 units/day.
C's work rate = B and C's work rate - C and A's work rate = 4 units/day - 3 units/day = 1 unit/day.
Since A's work rate is 2 units/day, it will take him 120 units / 2 units/day = 60 days to finish the job alone. Therefore, the correct answer is 60.Rate this question:

How long will a train 100m long travelling at 72kmph take to overtake another train 200m long travelling at 54kmph
- A.
70 Sec
- B.
1 min
- C.
1 min 15 sec
- D.
55 sec
Correct Answer
B. 1 minExplanation
The two trains are moving in the same direction, so the relative speed between them is the difference between their speeds, which is 72 kmph - 54 kmph = 18 kmph. Converting this to m/s, we get 18 kmph * (1000 m / 1 km) * (1 h / 3600 s) = 5 m/s. The total distance the first train needs to cover to overtake the second train is the sum of their lengths, which is 100m + 200m = 300m. Dividing the distance by the relative speed, we get 300m / 5 m/s = 60s, which is equal to 1 min. Therefore, the first train will take 1 min to overtake the second train.Rate this question:

A man speaks the truth 3 out of 4 times. He throws a die and reports it to be a 6. What is the probability of it being a 6?
- A.
3/8
- B.
5/8
- C.
3/4
- D.
None of the options
Correct Answer
A. 3/8Explanation
The man speaks the truth 3 out of 4 times, which means he lies 1 out of 4 times. The probability of him telling the truth about throwing a 6 is 3/4, and the probability of him lying about throwing a 6 is 1/4. Therefore, the probability of it actually being a 6 is the probability of him telling the truth multiplied by the probability of a 6 (3/4 * 1/6), which equals 1/8. Similarly, the probability of him lying about a 6 is the probability of him lying multiplied by the probability of a 6 (1/4 * 5/6), which equals 5/24. Adding these two probabilities together gives us 1/8 + 5/24 = 3/8.Rate this question:

A team of 200 wagers undertakes building work of a bridge. The total time allocated to build the entire bridge is 20 days. After 10 days since start, 200 more wagers join the team and together the team completes the bridge in required time. If the original team do not get those 200 extra wagers, how many days they would be behind schedule to complete building the bridge
- A.
10 days
- B.
20 days
- C.
15 days
- D.
1 days
Correct Answer
A. 10 daysExplanation
If the original team of 200 workers had to complete the bridge without the additional 200 workers, they would be behind schedule by 10 days. This is because after 10 days, the original team had only completed half of the work, and with the additional workers, they were able to complete the remaining half in the remaining 10 days. Therefore, without the additional workers, they would need an extra 10 days to finish the bridge.Rate this question:

A team P of 20 engineers can complete a task in 32 days. Another team Q of 16 engineers can complete the same task in 30 days. Then the ratio of working capacity of 1 member of P to that of a member of Q is:
- A.
3:2
- B.
4:3
- C.
2:5
- D.
3:5
Correct Answer
B. 4:3Explanation
The ratio of the working capacity of 1 member of team P to that of a member of team Q can be determined by comparing the number of days it takes for each team to complete the task. Team P consists of 20 engineers and takes 32 days to complete the task, while team Q consists of 16 engineers and takes 30 days. Since both teams are completing the same task, we can compare the number of days it takes for each team to complete the task relative to the number of engineers in each team. By dividing the number of days by the number of engineers, we find that team P completes the task in 1.6 days per engineer, while team Q completes the task in 1.875 days per engineer. Simplifying these ratios, we get 4:3, which is the ratio of the working capacity of 1 member of team P to that of a member of team Q.Rate this question:

The price of Machine D equals the sum of the prices of machine A, B and C whose price are in the ratio 2:3:4 respectively. If weights of A, B, C and D varies as square of its individual price and difference of weight of D and A, B and C together is 9880 kg. Then what is the weight of D?
- A.
15390 kg
- B.
14790 kg
- C.
15800 kg
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
A. 15390 kgExplanation
The weight of machine D is determined by the sum of the weights of machines A, B, and C. The weights of A, B, C, and D vary as the square of their individual prices. Since the price ratio of A, B, and C is 2:3:4, the weight ratio will be 4:9:16. Therefore, the weight of D will be 16 times the weight of A. Given that the difference in weight between D and A, B, and C together is 9880 kg, we can set up the equation 16x - (4x + 9x + 16x) = 9880, where x represents the weight of A. Solving this equation gives us x = 620 kg, so the weight of D is 16 * 620 = 9,920 kg. Therefore, none of the given answer choices are correct.Rate this question:

If 4:6 is the ratio of number of girls and boys in a computer coaching class.If 50% of girls and 40% of boys are degree holders then the percentage of the candidates who are non-degree holders is:
- A.
12 %
- B.
38 %
- C.
56 %
- D.
49 %
Correct Answer
C. 56 %Explanation
In the given ratio 4:6, let's assume that there are 4 girls and 6 boys in the computer coaching class. If 50% of girls are degree holders, then 50% of 4 is 2 girls who are degree holders. Similarly, if 40% of boys are degree holders, then 40% of 6 is 2.4 boys who are degree holders. Since we cannot have a fraction of a person, we round down to 2 boys who are degree holders. Therefore, the total number of degree holders is 2 girls + 2 boys = 4. The total number of candidates in the class is 4 girls + 6 boys = 10. The percentage of non-degree holders is (10 - 4) / 10 * 100 = 6 / 10 * 100 = 60%. However, since we were asked for the percentage of candidates who are non-degree holders, the correct answer is 100% - 60% = 40%.Rate this question:
