4/7 of a pole is in the mud. When 1/3 of it is pulled out, an 8 meters long piece of the pole still remains in the mud. What is the total length of the pole?
पोल भाग का 4/7 भाग कीचड़ में है। जब 1/3 भाग बाहर निकाला जाता है, तो पोल का 8 मीटर लंबा टुकड़ा अभी भी कीचड़ में रहता है। पोल की कुल लंबाई कितनी है?
Correct Answer
A. 21 meters
Explanation
When 1/3 of the pole is pulled out, an 8-meter piece remains in the mud. This means that the length of the pole that was pulled out is 8 meters. Since 1/3 of the pole is 8 meters, the total length of the pole can be found by multiplying 8 meters by 3. Therefore, the total length of the pole is 24 meters. However, the question asks for the total length of the pole, not the length pulled out. Since 4/7 of the pole is in the mud, the remaining 3/7 of the pole is above the mud. We can set up a proportion to find the total length of the pole: 3/7 = 24/x. Solving for x, we find that the total length of the pole is 21 meters.

A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days , B and C in 15 days , C and A in 20 days. How long would A take separately to do the same work ?
A और B किसी कार्य को 12 दिनों में, B और C उसी कार्य को 15 दिनों में, C और A उसी कार्य को 20 दिनों में कर सकते हैं। A अकेले उसी काम कितने दिनमें पूरा करेगा ?
Correct Answer
C. 30 days
Explanation
Let's assume that A, B, and C's individual work rates are represented by a, b, and c respectively.
From the given information, we can create the following equations:
1/a + 1/b = 1/12
1/b + 1/c = 1/15
1/c + 1/a = 1/20
By solving these equations, we can find that a = 1/30, b = 1/20, and c = 1/60.
Since we want to find how long A would take separately to do the work, we need to find the value of a. Therefore, A would take 30 days to complete the work on their own.

Every digit of a natural number is either 3 or 4 .The number is divisible by both 3 and 4. What is the smallest such number?
एक प्राकृतिक संख्या का प्रत्येक अंक या तो 3 या 4 है। संख्या 3 और 4 दोनों से विभाज्य है। ऐसी संख्या सबसे छोटी क्या है?
Correct Answer
B. 444
Explanation
The smallest number that is divisible by both 3 and 4 and consists only of the digits 3 and 4 is 444. This is because the sum of the digits of 444 is 4+4+4=12, which is divisible by 3, and 444 is also divisible by 4 since the last two digits, 44, are divisible by 4. Therefore, 444 is the smallest number that satisfies the given conditions.

Maximum ozone depletion has been observed in which of the following ?
अधिकतम ओजोन रिक्तीकरण निम्नलिखित में से किसमें देखा गया है?
Correct Answer
A. The Equator
भूमध्यरेखा
Explanation
The ozone layer is thickest at the Equator due to the presence of strong sunlight and high temperatures in that region. These conditions promote the formation of ozone molecules, leading to a higher concentration of ozone in the atmosphere. In contrast, the ozone layer is thinner at the poles due to colder temperatures and weaker sunlight, which hinders the formation of ozone molecules. Therefore, the maximum ozone depletion is observed at the Equator.

40 Persons consume 200 Kg of rice in 30 days. In how many days will 30 persons consume 500 Kg of rice ?
40 व्यक्ति 30 दिनों में 200 किलोग्राम चावल का उपभोग करते हैं। 30 व्यक्ति कितने दिनों में 500 किलोग्राम चावल का उपभोग करेंगे?
Correct Answer
D. 100
Explanation
In the given scenario, we know that 40 persons consume 200 kg of rice in 30 days. This means that each person consumes 200/40 = 5 kg of rice in 30 days. Now, we need to find out how many days will 30 persons consume 500 kg of rice. Since each person consumes 5 kg of rice in 30 days, 30 persons will consume 30 * 5 = 150 kg of rice in 30 days. To find out how many days it will take for them to consume 500 kg of rice, we can set up a proportion: 150 kg / 30 days = 500 kg / x days. Solving this proportion, we get x = 100 days.

A sum of money at simple interest doubles in 10 years .In how many years at the same rate it will be tripled?
साधारण ब्याज पर धनराशि 10 वर्षों में दोगुनी हो जाती है। कितने वर्षों में एक ही दर पर इसे तीन गुना किया जाएगा?
Correct Answer
C. 15 years
Explanation
If a sum of money doubles in 10 years at a simple interest rate, it means that the interest earned each year is equal to 10% of the principal amount. To triple the principal amount, the interest earned each year needs to be equal to 20% of the principal amount. Since the interest rate remains the same, it will take 15 years for the sum of money to be tripled.

In a circular park of diameter 80 m, there is a square-shaped playground of maximum area. The area of the playground is
80 मीटर व्यास के एक वृत्ताकार पार्क के अन्दर अधिकतम क्षेत्रफल का एक वर्गाकार खेलका मैदान बना है । खेल के मैदान का क्षेत्रफल हैं
Correct Answer
A. 3200m2
Explanation
The maximum area of a square that can fit inside a circle is when the diagonal of the square is equal to the diameter of the circle. In this case, the diameter of the circle is 80 m, so the diagonal of the square is also 80 m. Using the formula for the area of a square (Area = side^2), we can find the side length of the square by dividing the diagonal by the square root of 2. So, the side length of the square is 80 / √2 = 56.57 m. The area of the square is then calculated by squaring the side length, which is approximately 3200 m^2.

If each edge of a cube is doubled , then the percentage increase in its total surface area is
यदि किसी क्यूब के प्रत्येक किनारे को दोगुना किया जाता है, तो उसके कुल सतह क्षेत्र में प्रतिशत वृद्धि होती है
Correct Answer
D. 600%
Explanation
When each edge of a cube is doubled, the length of each edge becomes 2 times the original length. The surface area of a cube is given by 6 times the square of the length of each edge. Therefore, if each edge is doubled, the new surface area will be 6 times the square of 2 times the original length. Simplifying this expression, we get 24 times the original surface area. To find the percentage increase, we divide the increase (24 times the original surface area) by the original surface area and multiply by 100. Hence, the percentage increase is 2400%, which is equivalent to 600%.

A can do a work in 6 days , B takes 8 days to complete it. C takes as long as A and B would take working together. How long will it take B and C to complete the work together?
A किसी कार्य को 6 दिनों में कर सकता है, B को इसे पूरा करने में 8 दिन लगते हैं। C को तब तक लगता है जब तक A और B एक साथ काम करते हैं। B और C को एक साथ काम पूरा करने में कितना समय लगेगा?
Correct Answer
B. 4 days
Explanation
A can complete the work in 6 days, B takes 8 days, and C takes the same time as A and B working together. This means that A and B together can complete the work in 6 days. Since B and C are working together, their combined efficiency is the sum of their individual efficiencies. Therefore, B and C together can complete the work in less time than B alone. The correct answer is 4 days.

Correct Answer
B. 59.1
Explanation
The correct mean can be found by subtracting the wrongly copied mark (57) from the calculated mean (58.5) and adding the correct mark (75). This will give us the total sum of marks. Then, we divide the total sum by the number of students (30) to find the correct mean. In this case, the correct mean is 59.1.

If by selling an article for ₹390, a shopkeeper gains 20%, then the price of article is
यदि किसी दुकानदार को एक वस्तु को 390 सुपर बेचने पर 20% का लाभ होता है, तो वस्तु का क्रय मूल्य है
Correct Answer
D. ₹325
Explanation
If the shopkeeper gains a 20% profit by selling an article for ₹390, it means that the selling price is 120% of the cost price. To find the cost price, we can set up the equation:
120% of the cost price = ₹390
Dividing both sides by 120% (or multiplying by 100/120), we get:
Cost price = ₹325

In a rhombus , the lengths of diagonals are 16 cm and 12 cm . The side of the rhombus is
एक समचतुर्भुज में, विकर्णों की लंबाई 16 सेमी और 12 सेमी है। समचतुर्भुज का भुजा है
Correct Answer
D. 10 cm
Explanation
The diagonals of a rhombus bisect each other at right angles. Therefore, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of one side of the rhombus. Let x be the length of one side. Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have (x/2)^2 + (x/2)^2 = 12^2. Simplifying this equation gives x^2/4 + x^2/4 = 144. Combining like terms, we get 2x^2/4 = 144. Simplifying further, we have x^2/2 = 144. Multiplying both sides by 2, we get x^2 = 288. Taking the square root of both sides, we find x = sqrt(288) ≈ 16.97. Therefore, the length of one side of the rhombus is approximately 17 cm. Since this is not an option, we can round down to the nearest whole number, which is 16 cm.
