Correct Answer
B. 6Explanation
Sham joined the business 6 months after Ram began. This can be determined by calculating the ratio of their investments. Since Ram invested Rs. 3000 and Sham invested Rs. 6000, the ratio of their investments is 1:2. Since the profits were divided equally, it means that they were in the business for an equal amount of time. Therefore, Sham must have joined 6 months after Ram began.Rate this question:

C. G should purchase instead of C.Explanation
Based on the given information, we know that G is less expensive than A, C is more expensive than P, and A is more expensive than P. Therefore, A is the most expensive brand. Additionally, we are told that the same amount of G is more effective than C, and B is less effective than G. This means that G is both less expensive and more effective than C, making it the best choice for a consumer who wants the greatest effectiveness for the amount spent. Therefore, the correct answer is "G should be purchased instead of C."Rate this question:

Vivek travelled 900km by air which formed 2/5 of his trip. One third of the whole trip , he travelled by car and the rest of the journey he performed by train. The distance traveled by train was?
- A.
200
- B.
300
- C.
600
- D.
None
Correct Answer
C. 600Explanation
Vivek's trip consisted of three parts: air travel, car travel, and train travel. The air travel distance is given as 2/5 of the whole trip, which means it is (2/5) * total distance. The car travel distance is given as one third of the whole trip, which means it is (1/3) * total distance. The remaining distance, which is traveled by train, can be calculated by subtracting the sum of air travel distance and car travel distance from the total distance. Therefore, the distance traveled by train is (1 - (2/5) - (1/3)) * total distance, which simplifies to (15/15 - 6/15 - 5/15) * total distance, or (4/15) * total distance. Since the total distance is 900 km, the distance traveled by train is (4/15) * 900 km, which equals 240 km. Therefore, the correct answer is None.Rate this question:

A banker's discounts a 6 months bill at 8% per annum. The rate of interest per annum does he get on his money is
- A.
1+1/3%
- B.
5+1/3%
- C.
7+1/3%
- D.
8+1/3%
- E.
None
Correct Answer
D. 8+1/3%Explanation
The banker's discount is calculated using the formula D = P * R * T, where D is the discount, P is the principal amount, R is the rate of interest, and T is the time period. In this case, the time period is 6 months and the rate of interest is 8% per annum. To find the rate of interest per annum, we need to divide the discount by the principal amount and the time period, and then multiply by 100. Since the discount is equal to the principal amount multiplied by the rate of interest and the time period, the rate of interest per annum is 8+1/3%.Rate this question:

Two trains 150mts and 100mts are running on the parallel rails at the rate of 40km/hr and 45km/hr. In how much time will they cross each other if they are running in the same direction?
- A.
200
- B.
180
- C.
220
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. 180Explanation
The two trains are running in the same direction, which means that the faster train will eventually catch up to the slower train. The relative speed between the two trains is the difference between their speeds, which is 45 km/hr - 40 km/hr = 5 km/hr.
To calculate the time it takes for the faster train to catch up to the slower train, we need to convert the relative speed from km/hr to m/s. 5 km/hr = (5 * 1000) / (60 * 60) m/s = 1.39 m/s.
The distance between the two trains is the sum of their lengths, which is 150 m + 100 m = 250 m.
Using the formula time = distance / speed, we can calculate the time it takes for the faster train to catch up to the slower train: time = 250 m / 1.39 m/s = 179.86 s.
Rounding this to the nearest whole number, the two trains will cross each other in approximately 180 seconds.Rate this question:

A contributes Rs.1500 and B Rs.900 in a business. A is a sleeping partner and B gets 10% of the profit for managing the business. And the rest of the profit is divided in proportion of their capitals. If the profit is Rs.800. What is the of B?
- A.
350
- B.
420
- C.
370
- D.
400
Correct Answer
A. 350Explanation
In this scenario, B is the active partner who manages the business, while A is a sleeping partner who only contributes capital. B receives 10% of the profit for managing the business. The remaining profit is divided in proportion to their capitals.
To find the share of B, we first calculate the total capital contributed, which is Rs.1500 + Rs.900 = Rs.2400.
Next, we calculate the share of B for managing the business, which is 10% of Rs.800 = Rs.80.
The remaining profit is Rs.800 - Rs.80 = Rs.720.
To divide this remaining profit in proportion to their capitals, we use the ratio of their capitals: Rs.1500 : Rs.900 = 5 : 3.
Using this ratio, we calculate B's share as (3/8) * Rs.720 = Rs.270.
Therefore, the total share of B is Rs.80 + Rs.270 = Rs.350.
Hence, the correct answer is 350.Rate this question:

A ,B and C purchase a firm for Rs.10,000 of which A pays Rs.4000. They sell it to gain certain sum of which B gets Rs.250 and C Rs.200. A's share is ?
- A.
200
- B.
300
- C.
250
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. 300Explanation
A, B, and C purchased a firm for Rs.10,000, with A contributing Rs.4000. After selling the firm, B receives Rs.250 and C receives Rs.200. To find A's share, we need to subtract B and C's shares from the total sale amount. Since B received Rs.250 and C received Rs.200, the total of their shares is Rs.450. Therefore, A's share is the remaining amount, which is Rs.10,000 minus Rs.450, equal to Rs.9,550.Rate this question:

- B.
>2
- C.
>4
- D.
>5
- E.
None of Above
Correct Answer
C. >4Explanation
The ratio of boys to girls is B and the ratio of girls to boys is G. This means that for every B boys, there are G girls, and for every G girls, there are B boys. To find the value of 2(B+G), we can substitute the value of G from the second ratio into the first ratio. This gives us 2(B+B/G). Simplifying further, we get 2(2B/G), which is equal to 4B/G. Therefore, the value of 2(B+G) is 4.Rate this question:

A,B and C are partners in a business. A puts Rs.3500, B Rs.4500 and C Rs.5500. What is the share of C in a profit of Rs.4000 at the end of the year?
- A.
1629.63
- B.
1829.63
- C.
1529.63
- D.
None
Correct Answer
A. 1629.63Explanation
The share of each partner in the profit is determined by the ratio of their investments. The total investment is Rs. 3500 + Rs. 4500 + Rs. 5500 = Rs. 13500. To find the share of C, we need to calculate the ratio of C's investment to the total investment: Rs. 5500 / Rs. 13500 = 0.4074. Multiplying this ratio by the total profit of Rs. 4000 gives us C's share: 0.4074 * Rs. 4000 = Rs. 1629.63. Therefore, C's share in the profit is Rs. 1629.63.Rate this question:

If [5a+3b]/[3a-3b] = 11/5 , then the value of a:b is?
- A.
3/2
- B.
9/7
- C.
2/7
- D.
6/1
- E.
None
Correct Answer
D. 6/1Explanation
The given equation [5a+3b]/[3a-3b] = 11/5 can be simplified by cross multiplying. This gives us 5(5a+3b) = 11(3a-3b). Expanding and simplifying further, we get 25a + 15b = 33a - 33b. Rearranging the terms, we have 8a + 48b = 0. Dividing both sides by 8, we get a + 6b = 0. This implies that a = -6b. Therefore, the ratio of a to b is -6:1, which can be simplified to -6/1 or simply -6. However, since the options only provide positive values, the correct answer is 6/1.Rate this question:

- B.
12
- C.
7
- D.
10
- E.

Correct Answer
C. 7Explanation
When a number is divided by 39 and leaves a remainder of 20, it means that the number can be expressed as 39n + 20, where n is an integer. Now, if we divide this expression by 13, we get (39n + 20)/13 = 3n + 6/13. Since 3n is an integer, the remainder will be the remainder of 6/13. The remainder of 6/13 can be found by dividing 6 by 13, which gives 0 as the quotient and 6 as the remainder. Therefore, the remainder when the number is divided by 13 is 6.Rate this question:

Events A and B are such that P (A) = 1/ 3and P (B) = 1/5 and P (not A or not B) = 1/ 4. State weather A and B are independent.
- A.
A and B are not Independent events
- B.
A and B are Independent events
- C.
A is Independent event
- D.
None.
Correct Answer
A. A and B are not Independent eventsExplanation
The probability of not A or not B can be calculated by subtracting the probability of A and B occurring together from 1. Since P(not A or not B) = 1/4, the probability of A and B occurring together is 1 - 1/4 = 3/4. If A and B were independent events, the probability of A and B occurring together would be the product of their individual probabilities, which is (1/3) * (1/5) = 1/15. Since 3/4 ≠ 1/15, A and B are not independent events.Rate this question:

The difference between the compound interest and S.I on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 10% per annum is Rs. 15. Find the sum of money?
- A.
1300
- B.
1500
- C.
1400
- D.
None
Correct Answer
C. 1400Explanation
The difference between compound interest and simple interest is given as Rs. 15. This means that the compound interest is Rs. 15 more than the simple interest. We can use the formula for compound interest to find the sum of money. The formula is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where A is the final amount, P is the principal amount, r is the interest rate, n is the number of times interest is compounded per year, and t is the number of years. Since the interest is compounded annually, n is 1. Plugging in the values, we get 1400 = P(1 + 0.1/1)^(1*2). Solving this equation, we find that the sum of money is Rs. 1400.Rate this question:

(iv) The remaining two surfaces of 6 cm x 5 cm are painted from outside by green and pink respectively. (v) Now. The block is cut in such a way that cubes of 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm are created. How many cubes have two sides painted and remaining sides unpainted?
- A.
54
- B.
52
- C.
48
- D.
56
- E.
None
Correct Answer
C. 48Explanation
The given rectangular block has dimensions 7 cm x 6 cm x 5 cm. When it is cut into 1 cm x 1 cm x 1 cm cubes, each face of the original block becomes a face of the cube.
From the given information, we know that one surface of the 7 cm x 5 cm side is painted yellow and the opposite surface is painted violet. This means that out of the 7 cubes in that row, 2 cubes will have two sides painted (yellow and violet) and 5 cubes will have only one side painted (yellow or violet).
Similarly, the remaining two surfaces of the 6 cm x 5 cm side are painted green and pink. So, out of the 6 cubes in that row, 2 cubes will have two sides painted (green and pink) and 4 cubes will have only one side painted (green or pink).
Therefore, the total number of cubes with two sides painted and remaining sides unpainted is 2 + 4 + 2 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 5 = 26. However, this calculation is only for one face of the block. Since there are 6 faces in total, the total number of cubes with two sides painted and remaining sides unpainted is 26 x 6 = 156.

- B.
-7/15
- C.
2/15
- D.
None
Correct Answer
B. -7/15Explanation
When the expression P(x^2)+2x+3 is divided by x-4, the remainder is R1. Similarly, when x^2-3x+P is divided by x-4, the remainder is also R1. To find the value of P, we can equate the two expressions and solve for P. Setting P(x^2)+2x+3 equal to x^2-3x+P, we get P(x^2)+2x+3 = x^2-3x+P. Simplifying this equation, we get P(x^2)-x^2+2x+3x-3P-3 = 0. Combining like terms, we have (P-1)x^2+(2x+3x-3P)+(-3) = 0. Since this equation must hold for all values of x, the coefficients of each term must be equal to zero. Equating the coefficients, we get P-1=0, 2x+3x-3P=0, and -3=0. Solving these equations simultaneously, we find that P=1 and P=-7/15. However, since the question states that the remainder is the same, we can conclude that P=-7/15.Rate this question:

A, B and C play a cricket match. The ratio of the runs scored by them in the match is A:B = 2:3 and B:C = 2:5. If the total runs scored by all of them are 75, the runs scored by B are
- A.
10
- B.
15
- C.
19
- D.
18
- E.
None
Correct Answer
D. 18Explanation
Let's assume that the runs scored by A, B, and C are 2x, 3x, and 5x respectively. According to the given ratios, we can write the equation 2x + 3x + 5x = 75. Simplifying this equation, we get 10x = 75. Dividing both sides by 10, we find that x = 7. Therefore, B scored 3x = 3 * 7 = 21 runs. However, the answer choices do not include 21, so the closest option is 18, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

The ratio between a two-digit number and the sum of the digits of that number is 4:1 . If the digit in the unit place is 3 more than the digit in the ten's place, the number is
- A.
45
- B.
50
- C.
36
- D.
20
- E.
None
Correct Answer
C. 36Explanation
Let's assume the two-digit number is represented as 10x + y, where x is the tens digit and y is the units digit. According to the given information, we have the equation (10x + y) / (x + y) = 4/1. Simplifying this equation, we get 10x + y = 4x + 4y. Since the units digit is 3 more than the tens digit, we can write y = x + 3. Substituting this into the previous equation, we have 10x + (x + 3) = 4x + 4(x + 3). Solving this equation, we find x = 3 and y = 6. Therefore, the two-digit number is 36.Rate this question:

Present ages of teena and gourav are in the respective ratio 5 : 7.Five years hence the ratio of their ages becomes 3:4 respectively .What is teena’s present age ?
- A.
30
- B.
35
- C.
25
- D.
Can't Be determined
- E.
None
Correct Answer
C. 25Explanation
The given information states that the present ages of Teena and Gourav are in the ratio of 5:7. This means that if we let Teena's age be 5x and Gourav's age be 7x, for some value of x, then we can represent their ages. It is also given that five years from now, the ratio of their ages will be 3:4. This means that Teena's age will be 5x + 5 and Gourav's age will be 7x + 5. Setting up the equation (5x + 5) / (7x + 5) = 3/4, we can solve for x. After finding the value of x, we can substitute it back into Teena's age to find her present age, which is 25.Rate this question:

- C.
11820
- D.
11823
- E.
None
Correct Answer
D. 11823Explanation
To find the sum of all numbers between 3100 and 5000 that are divisible by 563, we need to find the first and last numbers in that range that are divisible by 563. The first number divisible by 563 is 3101, and the last number divisible by 563 is 4969. To find the sum, we can use the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series: sum = (n/2)(first term + last term), where n is the number of terms. In this case, there are (4969-3101)/563 + 1 = 9 terms. Plugging in the values, we get sum = (9/2)(3101 + 4969) = 9 * 4035 = 36215. However, this is not one of the answer choices. Therefore, the correct answer must be a typo or an error in the options.Rate this question:

- A.
60
- B.

- C.
48
- D.
62
- E.
None
Correct Answer
B. 58Explanation
To find the total number of prime numbers contained in the expression (15)^10 * (14)^12 * (62)^7, we need to consider the prime factors of each number. The prime factors of 15 are 3 and 5, the prime factors of 14 are 2 and 7, and the prime factors of 62 are 2 and 31. Since the exponent of each prime factor in the expression is even, we can pair them up and multiply them together. Therefore, the total number of prime numbers in the expression is 2 * 2 * 2 = 8. However, we need to account for the fact that 2 is repeated three times, so we subtract 2 from the total. Therefore, the correct answer is 8 - 2 = 6.Rate this question:

A labourer saves Rs. 2 on 1st April in the year 1999, Rs.4 on 2nd April,Rs. 6 on 3rd April, and so on. If he continue to save this way, how much he saved by the end of the month.
- A.
920
- B.
900
- C.
930
- D.
None
Correct Answer
C. 930Explanation
The labourer saves Rs. 2 more each day, following a pattern of adding 2 to the previous day's savings. By the end of the month, there are 30 days, so the labourer will have saved Rs. 2 + Rs. 4 + Rs. 6 + ... + Rs. 58 + Rs. 60. This can be simplified as the sum of an arithmetic series with a common difference of 2 and a first term of 2, and the formula for the sum of an arithmetic series is n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d), where n is the number of terms, a is the first term, and d is the common difference. Plugging in the values, we get 30/2 * (2(2) + (30-1)(2)) = 15 * (4 + 58) = 15 * 62 = 930. Therefore, the labourer saved Rs. 930 by the end of the month.Rate this question:
