A.17 1/7 minutes B.20 minutes C.8 minutes D.None of these
Answer: A

A.800 B.880 C.80 D.888
Answer: C
Explanation: 80 Answer: 80 Explanation: The simple interest formula is Interest = Principal × Rate × Time I = P×R×T Where: 'Interest' is the total amount of interest paid, 'Principal' is the amount lent or borrowed, 'Rate' is the percentage of the principal charged as interest each year. The rate is expressed as a decimal fraction, so percentages must be divided by 100. 'Time' is the time in years of the loan. S.I = P×R×T S.I. = Rs. 4000 * 8% * 3 months S.I. = 4000* 8 /100 * 3/12 S.I. = 80
3. PQRS is a rectangle having area 50 cm. If RX=1/4 SR, what is the area of PQXS ?

4. There are 6 red shoes & 4 green shoes. If two of red shoes are drawn randomly what is the probability of getting red shoes?
A.3/8 B.3/4 C.1/3 D.3/5
Answer: C
Explanation: Total number of shoes=6 + 4=10; Let S be the sample space. Then, n(s) = Number of ways of drawing 2 shoes out of 10 =10C2 =(10 x 9)/(2 x 1) =45 Let E = Event of drawing 2 shoes which are red. Therefore n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 red shoes out of 6 shoes.= 6C2 =(6 x 5)/(2 x 1) =15 P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 1/3
5. To 15 liters of water containing 20% alcohol, we add 5 liters of pure water. What is % alcohol?
A.20% B.25% C.10% D.15%
Answer: D
Explanation: Case 1: Initial quantity of Water = 15 litres Quantity of Alcohol = 20% = (20/100) * 15 = 3 litres Case 2: Quantity of Water after adding 5 litres of water = 15 + 5 = 20 litres There of the % of alcohol in water = (3 /20) * 100 = 15%
6. If 10x coins are added to the number of original coins he has (5y + 1) times more coins. Find out how many coins he had originally in terms of x and y.
A.x / y B.2x / y C.y / x D.2y / x
Answer: B
Explanation: 2x / y Answer: 2x / y Explanation: Let’s take `z` as the original number of coins. We know that 10x + z = (5y + 1) z i.e.10x + z = 5yz + z 10x/5y = z z = 2x/y.

9. A goat is tied to one corner of a square plot of side 12m by a rope 7m long. Find the area it can graze?
A.38.5 sq.m B.155 sq.m C.144 sq.m D.19.25 sq.m
Answer: A
Explanation: Area covered by goat A = πr2 here we divide by 4 because rope is tied at the corner of the plot and only 1/4 part, the goat can graze Where length of rope r = 7 m. A = πr2 / 4 A = 1/4(area of circle) A = ¼ [(22/7)*7*7] A = 38.5

A.1200 km B.3000 km C.1000 km D.800 km
Answer: D
Explanation: Let the total trip be X km. We know that 2X/5 = 1200 km X = 1200*5/2 = 3000 km Distance travelled by car = 1/3*3000 = 1000km Journey by train = [3000- (1200+1000)] = 800km.
11. A, B and C contract a work for Rs.550. Together A and B are supposed to do 7/11 of the work. How much does C get?
A.Rs. 270 B.Rs. 200 C.Rs. 310 D.Rs. 175
Answer: B
Explanation: Let the total work = 1 i.e. A + B+C =1 A and B will complete 7/11 of work. Remaining work => C = 1- (7/11) = 4/11 Therefore salary received by C = (4/11)*550 = Rs. 200
12. One bottle is half-full of oil and another bottle with twice the capacity is one quarter full of oil. if water is added so that both the bottles are full and the contents of both are then poured into a third bottle that is empty and large enough to hold the contents of both, what fractions of the contents in the third bottle is oil?
A.1/4 B.1/3 C.3/8 D.2/3

A.25 B.50 C.75 D.100
Answer: B
Explanation: Let 1 Rs. be the cost of each share and x is the no of shares c.p. = x Rs. for x shares If 0.25 Rs. is increased in each share Then (1+.25) x = 12.50+x 1.25x = 12.50+x 0.25x =12.50 x = 12.50/0.25 => x =50 Therefore number of shares=50.
14. A worker is paid Rs.20/- for a full day’s work. He works 1, 1/3, 2/3, 1/8, 3/4 in a week. What is the total amount paid for that worker?

Answer: D
Explanation: Number of days worked in a week =1+1/3+2/3+1/8+3/4 = (24 +8 + 16 + 3+ 18)/ 24 = 69/ 24 =23/8 days Total amount paid = 23/8 * 20= 57.50 Rs.
15. Don and his wife each receive an 8 percent annual raise. If Don receives a raise Rs.800 and his wife receives a raise of rs. 840, what is the difference between their annual incomes after their raises?
A.400 B.460 C.500 D.540

16. It takes 6 technicians 10 hours to build and program a new server from Direct Computer, with each working at the same rate. If six technicians start to build the server at 11:00 AM, and one technician per hour is added beginning at 5:00 PM, at what time will the server be complete?
A.7:30 PM B.7:45 PM C.8:00 PM D.9:00 AM
Explanation: Total time required to complete job is 6 * 10 = 60 hours Work completed between 11am to 5pm by 6 technician = (6 * 6) = 36 hours So remaining work = (60 - 36) = 24 hours Remaining work between 5pm to 6pm = 24 -7 = 17 hours. Similarly work completed between 6pm to 7 pm = 17 – 8 = 9 hours, which is completed in next one hour i.e. Job is complete at 8.00PM.
17. The cost of an item is Rs 12.60. If the profit is 10% over selling price. What is the selling price? A.13.00 B.13.76 C.13.60 D.13.86
Answer: D
Explanation: We know that Selling price = cost price + profit Cost Price = 12.60 Profit = 10% of CP = (10 / 100) * 12.60 = 126 /100 Profit = 1.26 Selling Price = CP + Profit = 12.60 + 1.26 Selling Price = 13.86

A.20 % B.25 % C.22 % D.30 %
Answer: B
Explanation: Selling price = cost price + profit Cost price = 225 + 15 = 240 i.e. 240 + X * 240 * 1/100 = 300 240 + 24X/ 10 = 300 (taking LCM) 2400 + 24X = 3000 24 X = 3000 - 2400 24X = 600 X = 600/ 24 X = 25
19. A is twice as good a workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will A alone finish the work?
A.20 B.25 C.29 D.27
Answer: D
Explanation: If A takes x days to do a work then B takes 2x days to do the same work = > 1/x+1/2x = 1/18 = > 3/2x = 1/18 = > x = 27 days. Hence, A alone can finish the work in 27 days
20. A man is standing on a railway bridge which is 180m long. He finds that a train crosses the bridge in 20seconds and him in 8 seconds. Find the length of the train and its speed?
A.200 m & 54 kmph B.100m & 55 kmph C.120 m & 45 kmph D.120 m & 54 kmph
Answer: D
Explanation: Let the length of the train be x meters Then, the train covers x meters in 8 seconds and (x + 180) meters in 20 seconds. Therefore x/8 = (x+180)/20 20x = 8(x +180) x = 120 Therefore Length of the train = 120m Speed of the train = 120/8 m/sec = 15 m/sec =15 * 18/5 kmph = 54kmph
