A person crosses a 600 m long street in 5 minutes. What is his speed in km per hour?
-
3.6
-
7.2
-
8.4
-
10
Correct Answer
A. 7.2Explanation
To find the speed in km per hour, we need to convert the distance from meters to kilometers and the time from minutes to hours. Since 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, the person crossed 0.6 kilometers (600 meters / 1000 meters per kilometer). Similarly, since 1 hour is equal to 60 minutes, the person took 1/12 hours to cross the street (5 minutes / 60 minutes per hour). Dividing the distance (0.6 km) by the time (1/12 hours) gives us a speed of 7.2 km per hour.Rate this question:

KLLA
Correct Answer
A. KLLAExplanation
The pattern in the given sequence is that each letter in the first half of the sequence is incremented by one, while each letter in the second half is decremented by one. Starting with "ELFA," the first half letters increase by one (E to F, L to M, A to B), while the second half letters decrease by one (A to L, G to F, H to G). Applying this pattern to the missing term, the first half letter should be "K" (J + 1), and the second half letter should be "L" (M - 1), resulting in "KLLA."Rate this question:

The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle, if each of its sides is increased by 20% is:
-
40.00%
-
42.00%
-
44.00%
-
46.00%
Correct Answer
A. 44.00%Explanation
When each side of a rectangle is increased by 20%, the new length and width will be 120% of the original length and width. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and width, so the new area will be (120% * 120%) = 144% of the original area. To find the percentage increase, we subtract 100% (the original area) from 144% and get 44%. Therefore, the correct answer is 44.00%.Rate this question:

Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:Two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number. The ratio of the two numbers is:
-
2:5
-
3:5
-
4:5
-
6:7
Correct Answer
A. 4:5Explanation
If two numbers are respectively 20% and 50% more than a third number, it means that the first number is 20% greater than the third number and the second number is 50% greater than the third number. To find the ratio of the two numbers, we can assume the third number to be 100. The first number would then be 120 (20% more than 100) and the second number would be 150 (50% more than 100). Simplifying the ratio of the two numbers, we get 4:5.Rate this question:

If one-third of one-fourth of a number is 15, then three-tenth of that number is:
-
35
-
36
-
45
-
54
Correct Answer
A. 54Explanation
If one-third of one-fourth of a number is 15, it means that one-fourth of the number is 15 multiplied by 3, which equals 45. To find three-tenths of the number, we can multiply 45 by 3 and divide the result by 10. This calculation gives us 54, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

What is the total number of notes that he has ?A man has Rs. 480 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?
-
45
-
60
-
75
-
90
Correct Answer
A. 90Explanation
Since the number of notes of each denomination is equal, let's assume that the number of notes of each denomination is x. Therefore, the total value of one-rupee notes is x, the total value of five-rupee notes is 5x, and the total value of ten-rupee notes is 10x. Since the total value of all the notes is Rs. 480, we can write the equation x + 5x + 10x = 480. Solving this equation, we get x = 24. Since x represents the number of notes of each denomination, the total number of notes that he has is 24 + 24 + 24 = 72.Rate this question:

-

-
12
-
15
-
18
Correct Answer
A. 10Explanation
To find the value of ab, we can use the given equations. We know that a - b = 3, so we can rewrite it as a = b + 3. Substituting this into the equation a^2 + b^2 = 29, we get (b + 3)^2 + b^2 = 29. Expanding and simplifying this equation, we get b^2 + 6b + 9 + b^2 = 29. Combining like terms, we have 2b^2 + 6b + 9 = 29. Rearranging this equation, we get 2b^2 + 6b - 20 = 0. Factoring this quadratic equation, we get (b - 2)(2b + 10) = 0. Solving for b, we find b = 2. Substituting this back into the equation a = b + 3, we get a = 5. Therefore, ab = 2 * 5 = 10.Rate this question:

-
17 kg
-
20 kg
-
26 kg
-
31 kg
Correct Answer
A. 31 kgExplanation
Let the weight of A, B, and C be a, b, and c respectively. We are given that the average weight of A and B is 40 kg, so (a + b)/2 = 40. Similarly, the average weight of B and C is 43 kg, so (b + c)/2 = 43. From these two equations, we can find that a + b = 80 and b + c = 86. Subtracting these two equations, we get a - c = -6. Now, the average weight of A, B, and C is 45 kg, so (a + b + c)/3 = 45. Substituting the values of a + b = 80 and a - c = -6, we can solve for b and find that b = 31 kg. Therefore, the weight of B is 31 kg.Rate this question:

What smallest number should be added to 4456 so that the sum is completely divisible by 6 ?What smallest number should be added to 4456 so that the sum is completely divisible by 6 ?
-
4
-
3
-
2
-
1
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
To make the sum of 4456 completely divisible by 6, we need to find the smallest number that, when added to 4456, results in a multiple of 6. Since 6 is divisible by 2, we can infer that the sum needs to be an even number. Adding 1, 3, or 4 to 4456 would result in an odd number, which is not divisible by 6. However, adding 2 to 4456 would give us 4458, which is divisible by 6. Therefore, the smallest number that should be added to 4456 is 2.Rate this question:

-
261001
Correct Answer
A. 251001Explanation
To solve this problem, we can use the formula (a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab. In this case, a = 397 and b = 104. Plugging in these values, we get (397 + 104)^2 = 397^2 + 104^2 + 2(397)(104). Simplifying this equation, we get 501^2 = 157609 + 10816 + 82688. Adding all the numbers together, we get 251001. Therefore, the correct answer is 251001.Rate this question:

In the first 10 overs of a cricket game, the run rate was only 3.2. What should be the run rate in the remaining 40 overs to reach the target of 282 runs?
-
6.25
-
6.5
-
6.75
-
7
Correct Answer
A. 6.25Explanation
To find the required run rate, we need to consider the total number of runs needed to reach the target. Since the first 10 overs had a run rate of 3.2, the total runs scored in those overs would be 3.2 x 10 = 32 runs. To reach the target of 282 runs, the remaining 40 overs need to score 282 - 32 = 250 runs. Therefore, the required run rate for the remaining overs would be 250 runs / 40 overs = 6.25 runs per over.Rate this question:
