The area of a rectangular field is 460 square metres. If the length is 15 percent more than the breadth, what is breadth of the rectangular field?
-
15 Meters
-
26 Meters
-
34.5 meters
-
Cannot be determined
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. None of theseExplanation
Since the area of the rectangular field is given as 460 square meters, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is length multiplied by breadth. Let's assume the breadth of the field is x meters. According to the given information, the length is 15% more than the breadth, which means the length is 1.15x meters. Therefore, the equation becomes x * 1.15x = 460. Simplifying this equation, we get 1.15x^2 = 460. Solving for x, we find that the breadth is approximately 17.39 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is None of these.Rate this question:

-
Cannot be determined
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Rs 192.50Explanation
Deepa bought the calculator at a price of Rs 192.50. This can be determined by setting up an equation based on the given information. Let the listed price of the calculator be x. According to the question, Deepa got a 30% discount on the listed price, so she paid 0.7x for the calculator. If she had not received the discount, she would have paid Rs.82.50 extra, so the equation becomes 0.7x + Rs.82.50 = x. Solving this equation gives x = Rs 275. Therefore, Deepa bought the calculator for 0.7 * 275 = Rs 192.50.Rate this question:

A motor starts with the speed of 70 kmph with its speed increase in every two hours by 10kmph. In how many hours will it cover 345 Kms?
-
2 1/4 Hours
-
4 1/2 Hours
-
4 Hours 5 min
-
Cannot be determined
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. 4 1/2 HoursExplanation
The motor starts with a speed of 70 kmph and increases its speed by 10 kmph every two hours. To find the time it takes to cover 345 km, we can divide the total distance by the speed at which it covers the distance. The motor's speed increases by 10 kmph every two hours, so in 4 hours, it would have increased by 20 kmph. Therefore, the motor's speed after 4 hours would be 70 + 20 = 90 kmph. Dividing 345 km by 90 kmph gives us approximately 3.83 hours, which is equivalent to 3 hours and 50 minutes. However, since the options only provide whole numbers, the closest option is 4 1/2 hours.Rate this question:

Rs 3,400
-
Rs 1,700
-
Rs 3,440
-
Cannot be determined
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Rs 3,440Explanation
The cost of gardening the boundary around a rectangular plot can be calculated by finding the perimeter of the plot and then multiplying it by the rate per square meter. In this case, the perimeter is given as 340 meters. Since the boundary is 1 meter wide, the length and width of the plot cannot be determined from the given information. Therefore, it is not possible to calculate the exact cost. Hence, the answer "Cannot be determined" is correct.Rate this question:

-
2450
-
105
-
1170
-
Cannot be determined
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. 2450Explanation
The question asks for the number of different ways a group of 4 men and 4 women can be formed out of 7 men and 8 women. This is a combination problem, as the order in which the individuals are chosen does not matter. The formula for combinations is nCr, where n is the total number of individuals and r is the number of individuals being chosen. In this case, the number of ways to choose 4 men out of 7 is 7C4, which is equal to 7! / (4! * (7-4)!) = 35. Similarly, the number of ways to choose 4 women out of 8 is 8C4, which is equal to 8! / (4! * (8-4)!) = 70. Since these choices are independent, the total number of different ways to form the group is 35 * 70 = 2450.Rate this question:

-
if p < q
-
if p > q
-
If p ≤ q
-
If p ≥ q
-
If p = q
Correct Answer
A. if p > qExplanation
The given answer "if p > q" is correct because in the first equation, p2-7p = -12, we can rearrange it to p2 - 7p + 12 = 0. By factoring this equation, we get (p-3)(p-4) = 0. Therefore, we have two possible values for p: p = 3 or p = 4. In the second equation, q2 - 3q + 2 = 0, we can also factor it to (q-1)(q-2) = 0. This gives us two possible values for q: q = 1 or q = 2. Since 4 is greater than 2, we can conclude that p > q.Rate this question:

-
if p < q
-
if p > q
-
If p ≤ q
-
If p ≥ q
-
If p = q
Correct Answer
A. If p ≤ qExplanation
The given equations are 2p^2 + 20p + 50 = 0 and q^2 = 25. The first equation is a quadratic equation with coefficients 2, 20, and 50. The second equation is a simple quadratic equation with q^2 = 25. To find the relationship between p and q, we need to solve these equations. By solving the first equation, we find that it has no real solutions. By solving the second equation, we find that q can be either -5 or 5. Since there are no real solutions for the first equation, we cannot determine a specific relationship between p and q. Therefore, the answer is if p ≤ q.Rate this question:

A. 33Explanation
In the given question, Sudhanshu is twelfth from his left in a row of boys facing north. When he is shifted to his right by four places, he becomes eighteenth from the right end of the row. This means that there are 17 boys to his right after shifting. Since Sudhanshu is now the 18th boy from the right end, it implies that the total number of boys in the row is 17 + 18 = 35. Therefore, the correct answer is 33, as it is the only option that represents a valid number in the given context.Rate this question:

-
58(1/2)
-
64
-
67(1/2)
-
72(1/2)
Correct Answer
A. 67(1/2)Explanation
At 15 minutes past 5, the minute hand would be at the 3 position, while the hour hand would be slightly past the 5 position. To determine the angle between the hands, we can calculate the angle covered by the hour hand from 5 to slightly past 5, which is 30 degrees (since the hour hand covers 30 degrees in an hour). Additionally, the minute hand would have covered 15 minutes, which is 1/4th of the clock face or 90 degrees (since the minute hand covers 360 degrees in an hour). Therefore, the angle between the hands would be 90 degrees - 30 degrees, which equals 60 degrees. However, since the minute hand is slightly past the 3 position, the angle would be slightly more than 60 degrees. The closest option to this is 67(1/2) degrees.Rate this question:

Kamal started a business investing Rs.9000. After five months, Sameer joined with capital of Rs.8000. If at the end of the year, they earn profit of Rs.6970, then What will be the share of Sameer in the profit?
-
Rs. 1883
-
Rs. 2380
-
Rs. 3690
-
None of these
Correct Answer
A. Rs. 2380Explanation
To find Sameer's share in the profit, we need to calculate the ratio of his investment to the total investment. Kamal's investment is for the entire year, while Sameer's investment is for only 7 months (12 months - 5 months).
Kamal's investment = Rs. 9000 * 12 = Rs. 108000
Sameer's investment = Rs. 8000 * 7 = Rs. 56000
Total investment = Rs. 108000 + Rs. 56000 = Rs. 164000
Sameer's share in the profit = (Sameer's investment / Total investment) * Profit
Sameer's share = (56000 / 164000) * 6970 = Rs. 2380
Therefore, Sameer's share in the profit is Rs. 2380.Rate this question:

Two pipes A and B together can fill a cistern in 4 hours. Had they been opened separately, then B would have taken 6 hours more than A to fill the cistern. How much time A will take to fill the cistern separately?
-
1 Hours
-
2 Hours
-
6 Hours
-
8 Hours
Correct Answer
A. 6 HoursExplanation
If we assume that A takes x hours to fill the cistern alone, then B takes (x + 6) hours to fill the cistern alone.
The rate at which A fills the cistern is 1/x, and the rate at which B fills the cistern is 1/(x+6).
When both pipes are opened together, their combined rate is 1/4.
Using the formula for combined rates, 1/x + 1/(x+6) = 1/4.
Solving this equation, we find that x = 6. Therefore, A will take 6 hours to fill the cistern separately.Rate this question:

Two pipes can fill a tank in 12 hours and 15 hours respectively while a third pipe empties the full tank in 20 hours. Pipe A and B open together at 6:00 AM and C is also open at 10:00 AM, then the tank will be filled at what time?
-
12:00 PM
-
2:00 PM
-
3:00 PM
-
4:00 PM
Correct Answer
A. 2:00 PMExplanation
Since pipe A and B are open together, they can fill 1/12 + 1/15 = 9/60 = 3/20 of the tank in one hour.
Pipe C empties the tank at a rate of 1/20 per hour.
From 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, a total of 4 hours have passed, so the tank has been filled by (4 * 3/20) - (4 * 1/20) = 12/20 - 4/20 = 8/20 = 2/5.
Therefore, 3/5 of the tank still needs to be filled.
Since the rate of filling is 3/20 per hour, it will take (3/5) / (3/20) = 4 hours to fill the remaining part.
Thus, the tank will be filled at 10:00 AM + 4 hours = 2:00 PM.Rate this question:

The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is:
-
15
-
16
-
18
-
25
Correct Answer
A. 16Explanation
If the cost price of 20 articles is equal to the selling price of x articles, then the profit can be calculated by subtracting the cost price from the selling price. Since the profit is given to be 25%, it means that the selling price is 125% of the cost price. Therefore, the equation can be set up as 125% of the cost price of 20 articles equals the cost price of x articles. By simplifying this equation, we find that x is equal to 16.Rate this question:

A man complete a journey in 10 hours. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.
-
220 KM
-
224 KM
-
230 KM
-
234 KM
Correct Answer
A. 224 KMExplanation
The man travels the first half of the journey at a speed of 21 km/hr and the second half at a speed of 24 km/hr. Since the time taken for both halves is the same (10 hours), we can assume that the distances covered in both halves are equal. Let's assume the distance of the journey is 'd' km. Therefore, the distance covered in the first half is d/2 km and the distance covered in the second half is also d/2 km. Using the formula distance = speed × time, we can set up the equation (d/2) = 21 × t and solve for t. Similarly, we can set up another equation (d/2) = 24 × t and solve for t. By equating the two values of t, we can solve for 'd' which comes out to be 224 km.Rate this question:

-
Either I or II is strong
-
Neither I nor II is strong
-
Both I and II are strong
Correct Answer
A. Only argument I is strongExplanation
The correct answer is "Only argument I is strong" because giving Doordarshan autonomous status will help ensure fair and impartial coverage of all important events. This means that Doordarshan will not be influenced by any external pressures or biases in its reporting. On the other hand, argument II is not strong because it assumes that a few individuals will have control over the coverage of events, which may lead to an unhealthy outlook. However, this argument does not provide any evidence or rationale to support this claim.Rate this question:

-
True
-
False
-
Uncertain

If three pencils cost the same as two erasers, it means that the cost of three pencils is equal to the cost of two erasers. If four erasers cost the same as one ruler, it means that the cost of four erasers is equal to the cost of one ruler. Since pencils are more expensive than rulers, it implies that the cost of three pencils is greater than the cost of one ruler. Therefore, the third statement is false.Rate this question:

The assumption that the company believes in following impartial practice in all its functions is not implicit, as there is no information in the statement that directly suggests this belief. Therefore, only assumption I is implicit.Rate this question:

Statement: A large number of engineering graduates in the country are not in a position to have gainful employment at present and the number of such engineers is likely to grow in the future.Courses of Action:
- The government should launch attractive employment generation schemes and encourage these graduates to opt for such schemes to use their expertise and knowledge effectively.
- This happened due to proliferation of engineering colleges in the country and thereby lowered the quality of the engineering graduates. Those colleges which are not equipped to impart quality education should be closed down.
-
Only I follows
-
Only II follows
-
Either I or II follows
-
Neither I nor II follows
-
Both I and II follow
Correct Answer
A. Only II followsExplanation
The statement suggests that a large number of engineering graduates are unable to find employment and this problem is likely to increase in the future. Course of Action II suggests that colleges which are not able to provide quality education should be closed down. This is a logical and practical solution to address the issue of low-quality engineering graduates. However, Course of Action I, which suggests that the government should launch employment generation schemes, may not directly address the root cause of the problem, which is the quality of education provided by the colleges. Therefore, only Course of Action II follows.Rate this question:
