Question 3 |
Three pipes fill a tank in 4 hours. If two of them take 8 and 12 hours each to fill the tank, how many hours will the third pipe take to fill the tank?
A | 6 hours |
B | 15 hours |
C | 18 hours
|
D | 24 hours
|
Question 3 Explanation:
Three pipes fill a tank in 4 hours
P1 takes 8 hours and in one hour work is 1/8
P2 takes 12 hours and and in one hour work is 1/12
P3 takes x hours and and in one hour work is 1/x
Amount of work done by both p1 and p2=(⅛+1/12+1/x)=5/24+1/x
Now 1/x=1/4-5/24=6-5/24=1/24
P3 will take 24 hours to fill the tank
P1 takes 8 hours and in one hour work is 1/8
P2 takes 12 hours and and in one hour work is 1/12
P3 takes x hours and and in one hour work is 1/x
Amount of work done by both p1 and p2=(⅛+1/12+1/x)=5/24+1/x
Now 1/x=1/4-5/24=6-5/24=1/24
P3 will take 24 hours to fill the tank
Question 4 |
The ratio of ages of two persons A and B is 3 : 4 and that of ages of B and C is 4 : 5. If the average of all three is 40 years, what is B’s age?
A | 20 years
|
B | 30 years |
C | 40 years
|
D | 50 years
|
Question 4 Explanation:
Ration of ages of three persons= A:B:C= 3:4:5
Average of three is 40 years
What is the B’s age=?
We can’t get more than 120 as their age because the average of 3 persons is 40.
B is elder than A and younger than C
= 20+40+60
= 120
Average = (120/3)=40
Average of three is 40 years
What is the B’s age=?
We can’t get more than 120 as their age because the average of 3 persons is 40.
B is elder than A and younger than C
= 20+40+60
= 120
Average = (120/3)=40
Question 5 |
In a 100 meters race, A beat B by 10 meter or 2 second. What is the speed of A?
A | 5 Km/h |
B | 10 Km/h |
C | 15 Km/h
|
D | 20 Km/h
|
Question 5 Explanation:
When A completes 100m, B is at 90m which is 10m behind.Now A beats B by 2 secs.
This means B takes 2 more seconds to complete the race
As B is 10m behind when A completes the race, so B takes 2 secs to complete 10m
Speed of B = 5m/s
Total time of B = 100/5 = 20 secs
Time of A = 20 - 2 = 18 seconds
Speed of A = 100/18 = 5.555
This means B takes 2 more seconds to complete the race
As B is 10m behind when A completes the race, so B takes 2 secs to complete 10m
Speed of B = 5m/s
Total time of B = 100/5 = 20 secs
Time of A = 20 - 2 = 18 seconds
Speed of A = 100/18 = 5.555
Question 6 |
₹ 1000 doubled in 10 years when compounded annually. How many more years will it take to get another ₹ 2000 compound interest?
A | 5 years |
B | 10 years |
C | 3 years |
D | 4 years |
Question 6 Explanation:
₹ 1000 invested in compound interest becomes ₹ 2000 in 10 years.
The amount will double again in another 10 years.
The amount will become ₹ 2000 in another 10 years.
So, to earn another ₹ 2000 interest, it will take another 10 years.
The amount will double again in another 10 years.
The amount will become ₹ 2000 in another 10 years.
So, to earn another ₹ 2000 interest, it will take another 10 years.

A | 5 days |
B | 10 days |
C | 15 days |
D | 20 days |
Question 8 Explanation:
Ram can do a piece of work = 5 days
Sham can do a piece of work = 10 days
Ram + Sham + Karan = 2 days
Karan= 5 days
Sham can do a piece of work = 10 days
Ram + Sham + Karan = 2 days
Karan= 5 days

B | ₹ 12000 and ₹ 4000
|
C | ₹ 15000 and ₹ 5000 |
D | ₹ 18000 and ₹ 6000 |
Question 15 Explanation:
5%P = (15/100)*Q
(10/100)*Q = (20/100)*R
(20/100)*2000
=4000
(10/100)*Q = 4000
Q = 4000
(5/100)*P = (15/100)*4000
=600
P = (600*100)/5
P=12000
(10/100)*Q = (20/100)*R
(20/100)*2000
=4000
(10/100)*Q = 4000
Q = 4000
(5/100)*P = (15/100)*4000
=600
P = (600*100)/5
P=12000

point?
A | 5km, North-west |
B | 5km, south-west |
C | 5√2, south-west |

|
Question 24 Explanation:
Walks 12 km south → (Position: 12 km south)
Walks 7 km north → (Net movement: 12−7=5 km south)
Walks 5 km towards his left
Facing north, left is west → (Moves 5 km west)
The man is 5 km south and 5 km west from the starting point.
To find the straight-line distance from the starting point,
distance=√(52+52)=5√2
Walks 7 km north → (Net movement: 12−7=5 km south)
Walks 5 km towards his left
Facing north, left is west → (Moves 5 km west)
