Answers:

Answer: 30 days.
Explanation:
Before:
One day work = 1 / 20
One man?s one day work = 1 / ( 20 * 75)
Now:
No. Of workers = 50
One day work = 50 * 1 / ( 20 * 75)

The total no. of days required to complete the work = (75 * 20) / 50 = 30

Answer: 0
Explanation:
Since 3x / 2 = x / (2 / 3)

Answer:5.3 %
Explanation:
He sells 950 grams of pulses and gains 50 grams.
If he sells 100 grams of pulses then he will gain (50 / 950) *100 = 5.26

Answer:250 lines of codes

Answer: 7 days
Explanation:
The equation portraying the given problem is:
10 * x ? 2 * (30 ? x) = 216
where x is the number of working days.Solving this we get x = 23
Number of days he was absent was 7 (30-23) days.

Answer: 150 men
Explanation:
One day?s work = 2 / (7 * 90)
One hour?s work = 2 / (7 * 90 * 8)
One man?s work = 2 / (7 * 90 * 8 * 75)
The remaining work (5/7) has to be completed within 60 days, because the total number of days allotted for the project is 150 days.
So we get the equation
(2 * 10 * x * 60) / (7 * 90 * 8 * 75) = 5/7 where x is the number of men working after the 90th day.
We get x = 225. Since we have 75 men already, it is enough to add only 150 men.

Answer: (c) 1
Explanation:
a percent of b : (a/100) * b
b percent of a : (b/100) * a
a percent of b divided by b percent of a : ((a / 100 )*b) / (b/100) * a )) = 1

Answer: Cost price of horse = Rs. 400 & the cost price of cart = 200.
Explanation:-
Let x be the cost price of the horse and y be the cost price of the cart.
In the first sale there is no loss or profit. (i.e.) The loss obtained is equal to the gain.
Therefore (10/100) * x = (20/100) * y
X = 2 * y -----------------(1)
In the second sale, he lost Rs. 10. (i.e.) The loss is greater than the profit by Rs. 10.
Therefore (5 / 100) * x = (5 / 100) * y + 10 -------(2)
Substituting (1) in (2) we get
(10 / 100) * y = (5 / 100) * y + 10
(5 / 100) * y = 10
y = 200
From (1) 2 * 200 = x = 400

Answer:5

Answer: 1,2,3 & 4

Answer: B

Answer:11 & 9 apples per tree.
Explanation:
Let a, b, c, d & e be the total number of apples bored per year in A, B, C, D & E ?s orchard. Given that a + 1 = b + 3 = c ? 1 = d + 3 = e ? 6
But the question is to find the number of apples bored per tree in C and D ?s orchard. If is enough to consider c ? 1 = d + 3.
Since the number of trees in C?s orchard is 11 and that of D?s orchard is 13. Let x and y be the number of apples bored per tree in C & d ?s orchard respectively.
Therefore 11 x ? 1 = 13 y + 3
By trial and error method, we get the value for x and y as 11 and 9

Answer: G.

Answer: 451 times.
Explanation:There are 60 minutes in an hour.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 * ¾) minutes = 45 minutes.
In ¾ of an hour there are (60 * 45) seconds = 2700 seconds.
Light flashed for every 6 seconds.
In 2700 seconds 2700/6 = 450 times.
The count start after the first flash, the light will flashes 451 times in ¾ of an hour.

Explanation:

Answer: (5).
Explanation: Since every alternative letter starting from B of the English alphabet is written in small letter, the letters written in small letter are b, d, f...In the first two answers the letter E is written in both small & capital letters, so they are not the correct answers. But in third and fourth answers the letter is written in small letter instead capital letter, so they are not the answers.

Answer: x = 4
Explanation: Since the side of the square is x + 2, its perimeter = 4 (x + 2) = 4x + 8. Since the side of the equilateral triangle is 2x, its perimeter = 3 * 2x = 6x
Also, the perimeters of both are equal.
(i.e.) 4x + 8 = 6x
(i.e.) 2x = 8 è x = 4.

Answer: (y ? 2) / y.
Explanation: To type a manuscript karthik took y hours.
Therefore his speed in typing = 1/y. He was called away after 2 hours of typing.
Therefore the work completed = 1/y * 2. Therefore the remaining work to be completed = 1 ? 2/y. (i.e.) work to be completed = (y-2)/y

Answer: (2)

Answer: 1
Explanation: One is the only number exists without reciprocal because the reciprocal of one is one itself.

Before Sudhir? s transaction 39 21 12

35. Answer: Cost price of horse: Rs. 400 & Cost price of cart: Rs. 20
Explanation: Let x be the cost of horse & y be the cost of the cart.
10 % of loss in selling horse = 20 % of gain in selling the cart
Therefore (10 / 100) * x = (20 * 100) * y
x = 2y -----------(1)
5 % of loss in selling the horse is 10 more than the 5 % gain in selling the cart.
Therefore (5 / 100) * x - 10 = (5 / 100) *
5x - 1000 = 5
Substituting (1)
10y - 1000 = 5y; 5y = 1000; y = 200; x = 400 from (1)

A fast typist can type some matter in 2 hours and a slow typist can type the same in 3 hours. If both type combinely, in how much time will they finish? Answer : 1 hr 12 min
Explanation : The fast typist's work done in 1 hr = 1/2
The slow typist's work done in 1 hr = 1/3
If they work combinely, work done in 1 hr = 1/2+1/3 = 5/6
So, the work will be completed in 6/5 hours. i.e., 1+1/5 hours = 1hr 12 min


Gavaskar's average in his first 50 innings was 50. After the 51st innings, his average was 51. How many runs did he score in his 51st innings. (supposing that he lost his wicket in his 51st innings) Answer : 101
Explanation : Total score after 50 innings = 50*50 = 2500
Total score after 51 innings = 51*51 = 2601. So, runs made in the 51st innings = 2601-2500 = 101. If he had not lost his wicket in his 51st innings, he would have scored an unbeaten 50 in his 51st innings.

If s(a) denotes square root of a, find the value of s(12+s(12+s(12+ ...... upto infinity.
Answer : 4
Explanation : Let x = s(12+s(12+s(12+.....
can write x = s(12+x). i.e., x^2 = 12 + x. Solving this quadratic equation, we get x = -3 or x=4. Sum cannot be -ve and hence sum = 4.


A cylindrical container has a radius of eight inches with a height of three inches. Compute how many inches should be added to either the radius or height to give the same increase in volume? Answer : 16/3 inches
Explanation : Let x be the amount of increase. The volume will increase by the same amount if the radius increased or the height is increased.
So, the effect on increasing height is equal to the effect on increasing the radius.
i.e., (22/7)*8*8*(3+x) = (22/7)*(8+x)*(8+x)*3
Solving the quadratic equation we get the x = 0 or 16/3. The possible increase would be by 16/3 inches.
