Routines are the unreturned algorithms followed by each one of us, every in life. Routine is a chain of events, which never changes there order once it is prioritized. Following the routine is a schedule of events. For a student it would it be assignments, attending schools, coaching classes or doing a Project. For the business man, brandishing the tiniest mobile phone and shielded by the doctor than black shade of Mercedes, schedule is restricted to attend meetings, presentations and entertaining new Prospective clients. Sometimes life begins so hectic that you feel as if you are the only person who is working harder than all others. Such type of thoughts comes to us due to thinking about ourselves. Others may be facing the same shade of destiny as you, but you think there are luckier than you. Yes, the grass on the other side is always greener and fresher. Maintaining your cool, at the times of the difficulty and in spite of hectic-schedules is the key to a bright career and success in life. Because, unless we ourselves change the pace with the change in times and keep ourselves abreast of the latest time table of our organizer, we will lag behind. The more the things one has to do or one is into, more is his involvement in a mental, physical or social way into these things. Due to this his own personal problems are out of sight because, all time his mind is thinking of completing the task undertaking problems which are out of sight are out of mind.

Three guests check into a hotel room. Each person pays $10, for a total of $30. A few minutes later, the desk clerk realizes that the room only costs $25, so she gives the bellboy $5 to return to the three guests. Seeing that $5 could not be divided evenly among the guests, the bellboy gave each guest $1 and kept $2 for himself. It now seems that each guest has paid $9 for the room (that makes $27), and the bellboy has $2, for a total of $29. Where is the missing dollar?
- A.
There is no missing dollar
- B.
The desk clerk has the dollar.
- C.
The bellboy has the dollar
- D.
One of the three guests has the dollar.
Correct Answer
A. There is no missing dollarExplanation
The missing dollar is a result of a mathematical error in the calculation. The total cost of the room is $25, which was paid by the three guests. The additional $5 given to the bellboy and distributed among the guests does not affect the total cost of the room. Therefore, there is no missing dollar.Rate this question:

John is taller than Joy
- B.
John is as tall as Joy
- C.
John is shorter than Joy
- D.
Impossible to tell whether John or Joy is taller
Correct Answer
A. John is taller than JoyExplanation
Based on the given information, we know that Rony is taller than Joy and John is shorter than Rony. Since there is no information given about the height comparison between John and Joy, we cannot determine who is taller between the two. Therefore, the correct answer is "Impossible to tell whether John or Joy is taller."Rate this question:

Sanjay invested an amount of Rs 16,000 for two years on compound interest and received an amount of Rs 17,640 on maturity. What is the rate of interest per annum?
- A.
4%
- B.
5%
- C.
8%
- D.
Data Inadequate
Correct Answer
B. 5%Explanation
Sanjay invested Rs 16,000 for two years and received Rs 17,640 on maturity. To find the rate of interest per annum, we can use the formula for compound interest: A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the rate of interest, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the time in years. Plugging in the given values, we have 17,640 = 16,000(1 + r/100)^(2*1). Solving this equation, we find that r is approximately 5%. Therefore, the rate of interest per annum is 5%.Rate this question:

Six pipes are fitted to a water tank. Some of these are inlet pipes and the others outlet pipes. Each inlet pipe can fill the tank in 9 hours and each outlet pipe can empty the tank in 6 hours. On opening all the pipes, an empty tank is filled in 9 hours. How many inlet pipes are there?
- A.
2
- B.
4
- C.
3
- D.
5
Correct Answer
B. 4Explanation
Let's assume there are x inlet pipes and y outlet pipes.
Each inlet pipe can fill the tank in 9 hours, so the rate at which each inlet pipe fills the tank is 1/9.
Each outlet pipe can empty the tank in 6 hours, so the rate at which each outlet pipe empties the tank is 1/6.
When all the pipes are opened, the net rate at which the tank is being filled is the sum of the rates of the inlet pipes minus the sum of the rates of the outlet pipes.
Therefore, the equation can be written as:
x/9 - y/6 = 1/9
Given that the tank is filled in 9 hours, we can substitute x = 6 in the equation:
6/9 - y/6 = 1/9
Simplifying the equation, we get:
2/3 - y/6 = 1/9
Cross multiplying and solving for y, we get:
y = 4
Therefore, there are 4 inlet pipes.Rate this question:

A reservoir is provided by two pipes A and B. A can fill the reservoir 5 hours faster than B. If both together fill the reservoir in 6 hours, the reservoir will be filled by A alone in
- A.
12 hrs
- B.
8 hrs
- C.
10 hrs
- D.
11 hrs
Correct Answer
C. 10 hrsExplanation
Let's assume that pipe B takes x hours to fill the reservoir alone. Since pipe A can fill the reservoir 5 hours faster than B, it will take x - 5 hours for A to fill the reservoir alone.
If both pipes A and B work together, they can fill the reservoir in 6 hours. This means that in 1 hour, they can fill 1/6th of the reservoir.
In 1 hour, pipe A can fill 1/(x-5)th of the reservoir, and pipe B can fill 1/xth of the reservoir.
So, we have the equation 1/(x-5) + 1/x = 1/6.
Solving this equation, we find that x = 10.
Therefore, pipe A can fill the reservoir alone in 10 hours.Rate this question:

A dealer buys dry fruits at the rate of Rs 100, Rs 80 and Rs 60 per kg. He bought them in the ratio 12 : 15 : 20 by weight. He in total gets 20% profit by selling the first two and at last he finds he has no gain or no loss in selling the whole quantity which he had. What was the percentage loss he suffered for the third quantity?
- A.
30%
- B.
40%
- C.
20%
- D.
50%
Correct Answer
B. 40%Explanation
The dealer bought the dry fruits in the ratio of 12:15:20 by weight. Let's assume he bought 12 kg of dry fruits at Rs 100 per kg, 15 kg at Rs 80 per kg, and 20 kg at Rs 60 per kg.
He sold the first two quantities at a 20% profit, which means he sold them at Rs 120 per kg and Rs 96 per kg respectively.
To have no gain or loss in selling the whole quantity, the selling price for the third quantity should be equal to the cost price.
Let's assume the selling price for the third quantity is x.
So, (12*120) + (15*96) + (20*x) = (12*100) + (15*80) + (20*60)
Simplifying the equation, we get 1440 + 1440 + 20x = 1200 + 1200 + 1200
Combining like terms, we get 40x = 600
Dividing both sides by 40, we get x = 15
Therefore, the selling price for the third quantity is Rs 15 per kg, which means there is a loss of Rs 45 per kg.
To find the percentage loss, we divide the loss by the cost price and multiply by 100.
Percentage loss = (45/60) * 100 = 75%
Therefore, the dealer suffered a 75% loss for the third quantity.
Since none of the options provided match the calculated loss percentage, the correct answer cannot be determined.Rate this question:

How many kgs of flour worth Rs 25 per kg must be blended with 30 kgs of flour worth Rs 30 per kg so that by selling the blended variety at Rs 30 per kg there should be a gain of 10%?
- A.
32 kg
- B.
40 kg
- C.
36 kg
- D.
4 kg
Correct Answer
C. 36 kgExplanation
To find the amount of flour worth Rs 25 per kg that must be blended with the 30 kgs of flour worth Rs 30 per kg, we can use the concept of weighted average. Let x be the amount of flour worth Rs 25 per kg. The total cost of the blended variety is (30 * 30) + (x * 25). The total weight of the blended variety is 30 + x. To have a gain of 10%, the selling price per kg should be 1.1 times the cost price per kg. So, we have the equation (1.1 * 30) = ((30 * 30) + (x * 25))/(30 + x). Solving this equation, we get x = 36 kg. Therefore, 36 kgs of flour worth Rs 25 per kg must be blended with 30 kgs of flour worth Rs 30 per kg.Rate this question:

A boat takes 19 hours for travelling downstream from point A to point B and coming back to a point C midway between A and B. If the velocity of the stream is 4 km/h and the speed of the boat in still water is 14 km/h, what is the distance between A and B?
- A.
200 km
- B.
180 km
- C.
160 km
- D.
220 km
Correct Answer
B. 180 kmExplanation
The boat takes 19 hours to travel downstream from point A to point B and back to point C, which is midway between A and B. This means that the time taken to travel from A to C is half of the total time, which is 19/2 = 9.5 hours. The speed of the boat in still water is given as 14 km/h and the velocity of the stream is 4 km/h. To find the distance between A and B, we can use the formula: distance = speed × time. The speed of the boat relative to the stream is the difference between the speed of the boat in still water and the velocity of the stream, which is 14 - 4 = 10 km/h. Therefore, the distance between A and B is 10 × 9.5 = 95 km. Since the boat travels from A to B and back, the total distance is 2 times the distance between A and B, which is 2 × 95 = 190 km. However, this is the total distance traveled by the boat, so the actual distance between A and B is half of this, which is 190/2 = 95 km. Therefore, the correct answer is 180 km.Rate this question:

The speed of a boat in still water is 4 km/h and the speed of current is 2 km/h. If the time taken to reach a certain distance upstream is 9 hours, the time it will take to go the same distance downstream is
- A.
3.5 hrs
- B.
2.5 hrs
- C.
2 hrs
- D.
3 hrs
Correct Answer
D. 3 hrsExplanation
When a boat is moving upstream, it has to work against the current, which reduces its effective speed. The total speed of the boat is the sum of its speed in still water and the speed of the current. In this case, the total speed of the boat is 4 km/h + 2 km/h = 6 km/h. If the boat takes 9 hours to travel a certain distance upstream, we can calculate the distance using the formula distance = speed × time. Therefore, distance = 6 km/h × 9 hours = 54 km.
When the boat is moving downstream, it benefits from the current, which increases its effective speed. The total speed of the boat is now 4 km/h - 2 km/h = 2 km/h. We can calculate the time it will take to travel the same distance downstream using the formula time = distance / speed. Therefore, time = 54 km / 2 km/h = 27 hours. However, since we are looking for the time in hours, we convert 27 hours to 3 hours.Rate this question:

In a stream running at 2 km/h, a motor boat goes 10 km upstream and back again to the starting point in 55 min. The speed of the motorboat in still water is
- A.
22 km / h
- B.
21 km / h
- C.
20 km / h
- D.
24 km /h
Correct Answer
A. 22 km / hExplanation
The motorboat travels 10 km upstream and 10 km downstream in 55 minutes. Since the stream is running at a speed of 2 km/h, the effective speed of the motorboat against the current is (10 - 2) = 8 km/h. Similarly, the effective speed of the motorboat with the current is (10 + 2) = 12 km/h. The total time taken for the round trip is 55 minutes, which is equal to 55/60 = 11/12 hours. Using the formula distance = speed × time, we can set up the equation (8 × 11/12) + (12 × 11/12) = 20 × t, where t is the speed of the motorboat in still water. Solving this equation, we get t = 22 km/h.Rate this question:

A man can row 4.5 km/h in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. The speed of the stream is
- A.
2.5 km / h
- B.
1.5 km/h
- C.
2 km /h
- D.
1.75 km/h
Correct Answer
B. 1.5 km/hExplanation
The man takes twice as long to row up the river compared to rowing down the river. This suggests that he is rowing against the current while rowing up and with the current while rowing down. Let's assume the speed of the current is x km/h. When rowing up, the effective speed of the man is (4.5 - x) km/h, and when rowing down, the effective speed is (4.5 + x) km/h. Since the time taken to row up is twice the time taken to row down, we can set up the equation: (4.5 - x) * 2 = (4.5 + x). Solving this equation, we find x = 1.5 km/h, which is the speed of the stream.Rate this question:

What is the volume of a cubical box in cubic centimetres? (I) One face of the box has an area of 49 sq.cms. (II) The longest diagonal of the box is 20 cms.

- D.
D
- E.
E
Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
The volume of a cubical box can be calculated by finding the cube of the length of one side.
Statement (I) provides the area of one face, which is not sufficient to determine the length of one side and therefore the volume.
Statement (II) provides the length of the longest diagonal, which is also not sufficient to determine the length of one side and therefore the volume.
Combining both statements, we still do not have enough information to determine the length of one side and therefore the volume. Therefore, the answer is D, as the information provided is not sufficient.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. BExplanation
The correct answer is B. Both statements (I) and (II) provide enough information to determine whether x>y. Statement (I) can be rearranged to x/y = 6/8 = 3/4, which means x is less than y. Statement (II) shows that x is equal to y + 4, which means x is greater than y. Therefore, the answer is B.Rate this question:

If a ground is rectangular, what is its width? (I) The ratio of its length to its breadth is 7:2 (II) Perimeter of the playground is 396 mts.
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
- E.
E
Correct Answer
C. CExplanation
To find the width of the ground, we need to know either the length or the perimeter of the ground. Statement II provides the perimeter of the ground, which is 396 mts. However, statement I does not provide any information about the length or the width of the ground. Therefore, using statement II alone, we cannot determine the width of the ground. Hence, the answer is C, as both statements are needed to find the width of the ground.Rate this question:

How many brothers and sisters are there in the family of seven children? (I) Each boy in the family has as many sisters as brothers (II) Each of the girl in the family has twice as many brothers as sisters
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
- E.
E
Correct Answer
D. DExplanation
From statement (I), we can deduce that each boy has an equal number of sisters and brothers. This means that there must be an odd number of children in the family, as each boy would have at least one sister. From statement (II), we can deduce that each girl has twice as many brothers as sisters. This means that each girl must have at least two brothers. Combining both statements, we can conclude that there are at least three boys and three girls in the family, making a total of at least six children. Therefore, the family must have at least seven children. Hence, the answer is D.Rate this question:

X is not equal to 0, is x + y = 0? (I) x is the reciprocal of y (II) x is not equal to 1
- A.
A
- B.
B
- C.
C
- D.
D
- E.
E
Correct Answer
A. AExplanation
The correct answer is A. The statement "x is not equal to 0" implies that x cannot be 0. Therefore, if x is the reciprocal of y, it means that y cannot be 0 either. Since both x and y cannot be 0, it is possible for their sum to be 0. Additionally, the statement "x is not equal to 1" does not provide any information about the sum of x and y. Therefore, statement I is necessary to determine if x + y = 0.Rate this question:
