Explanation

Let us consider the

$3$ specific gentlemen as a single person that occupies three times the space.

So, now we have

$10$ persons who can be made to sit in

$9!$ ways and in the space for

$3$ gentlemen we can permute them in

$3!$ ways.

So, total ways are

$3!\, 9!$ .

A is thrice as good a workman as B and takes 10 days less to do a piece of work than B takes. B can do the work in _______.

0%
$12$ days
0%
$15$ days
0%
$20$ days
0%
$30$ days

Explanation

Given, Work Efficiency ratio of A:B is 3:1

Let B takes

$x days$ to do the work. So according to the question, A takes

$x-10\: days$ to do the same work. Time ratio and efficiency ratio are inversely proportional. So equating the ratios,

$\dfrac{x-10}{x}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

$\implies x=15$

Therefore, B can finish the work alone in

$15\: days$

Explanation

Let the numbers be

$n-1,n,n+1$

As per the given information, we have

$(n-1)+{ n }^{ 2 }+{ (n+1) }^{ 3 }={ (n-1+n+n+1) }^{ 2 }$

$\Rightarrow { n }^{ 3 }-5{ n }^{ 2 }+4n=0$

$\Rightarrow n=0,1,4$

For

$n=0,$ the numbers are:

$-1,0,1$ this is out as all the numbers should be positive

For

$n=1,$ the numbers are:

$0,1,2$ this is out as all the numbers should be positive (‘0’ can’t be taken as positive)

For

$n=4,$ the numbers are:

$3,4,5$

We have got largest number which is

$5$

Hence, the value of

$\gamma$ is

$5$ .

Explanation

(a) Independence Day was celebrated after [25 (March) + 30 (April) + 31 (May) + 30 (June) + 31 (July) + 15 (August)] days
= 162 days = 23 x 7 + 1
= 23 weeks + 1 days

Number off odd days = 1

$\therefore$ Hence,X was born on Thrusday.

$150$ workers were engaged to finish a piece of work in a certain number of days.

Explanation

$\textbf{Step-1: Forming a linear equation using the concept of Arithmetic Progression}$

$\text{Let the work be finished in}$

$n$

$\text{days}$

$\text{The total number of workers who worked during these days will be the sum of the following A.P.}$

$150+146+142+.......n$

$\text{The sum of }n\text{ terms in an A.P. is given by:}$

$S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

$\text{Hence, we get}$

$S_n=n(152-2n)$

$...(i)$

$\textbf{Step-2: Finding the number of days}$

$\text{If the workers hadn't dropped, then the number of days required would be}$

$(n-8)$

$\text{So, the sum would be}$

$150(n-8)$

$...(ii)$

$\text{Equating}$

$(i)$

$\text{and}$

$(ii)$

$n(152-2n)=150(n-8)$

$n^2-n-600=0$

$n^2-25n+24n-600=0$

$(n-25)(n+24)=0$

$\textbf{As the number of days can't be negative, we neglect}$

$(n+24)=0$

$n=25$

$\textbf{Hence, number of days in which the work was completed is}$

$\mathbf{25}$

Explanation

Let the work be 60 units. [LCM of 12 and 20]
A and B i.e. A + B do =

$\displaystyle \frac{60}{12}$ = 5 units/day
A does =

$\displaystyle \frac{60}{20}$ = 3 units/day
Hence, B does 5 3 = 2 units/day
If B works for half a day, so B does

$\displaystyle \frac{2}{2}$ = 1 unit / day
A and B together now do 3 + 1 = 4 units/day
Hence, will complete the work in

$\displaystyle \frac{60}{4}$ = 15 days.

$6$ rings can be worn on the four fingers of one hand is

0%
$4^{6}$
0%
$^{6}C_{4}$
0%
$6^{4}$
0%
None of these

Explanation

Each ring can be worn on

$4$ fingers, means each have

$4$ possibilities.

$\therefore$ Total ways

$=4\times4\times4\times4\times4\times4=4^{6}$

Hence,

$(A)$

A supplies

$20$ men who work for

$8$ hrs. a day working for

$6$ days.

$B$ supplies

$15$ men working at

$9$ hrs. a day for

$7$ days and

$C$ supplies

$10$ men working

$6$ hrs. a day for

$8$ days to do a certain job. If Rs.

$C's$ share?

0%
$130$
0%
$125$
0%

Explanation

Man hours supplied by

$A = 20\times 8\times 6$
Man hours supplied by

$B = 15\times 7\times 9$
Man hours supplied by

$C = 10\times 6\times 8$

$\therefore$ Ratio of their shares

$= (20\times 8\times 6) : (15\times 7\times 9) : (10\times 6\times 8)$

$= 64 : 63 : 32$

$\therefore C's\ share = \dfrac {32}{159}\times 636 = Rs. 128$ .

A completes half as much work as B and C completes half as much work as A and B together, in the same time. If C alone can completes the work in 40 days, all of them can together finish the work in

Explanation

Given that,

$\displaystyle A \, = \, \dfrac{1}{2} \, \times \, B \, \Rightarrow \, \frac{A}{B}= \, \dfrac{1}{2}$
A : B = 1 : 2 or B : A = 2 : l

Also, given that

$C= \, \dfrac{1}{2} \, \times \, (A \, + \, B)$

$C= \, \dfrac{1}{2} \, \times \, (A \, + \, 2A)$
C =

$\dfrac{3}{2}$ A
C : A = 3 : 2 or A : C = 2 : 3
From equation (1) & (2), we get
B : A: C = 4 : 2 : 3 or A : B : C = 2 : 4 :3
Time taken to do the work

$\displaystyle \, \frac{1}{work \, done}$

Hence

$\displaystyle t_A \, : \, t_B \, : \, t_C \, = \, \frac{1}{2} \, : \, \frac{1}{4} \, : \, \frac{1}{3}$ or 6 : 3 :4
Now,

$t_C$ = 40

$t_A$ = 60

$t_B$ = 30
Let the work be 120. [LCM of 40, 60, 30]
A does

$\displaystyle A does \, = \, \frac{120}{60} \, = \, 2$ units/day

B does

$\displaystyle B does \, = \, \frac{120}{30} \, = \, 4$ units/day

C does

$\displaystyle C does \, = \, \frac{120}{40} \, = \, 3$ units/day
Together they do the work in =

$\displaystyle \frac{120}{2 \, + \, 4 \, + \, 3} \, = \, \frac{120}{9} \, = \, \frac{40}{3} \, = \, 13 \, \frac{1}{3}$ days

A tank

$15$ m long,

$10$ m wide and

$6$ m deep open at the top. If the width of the sheet is

$2$ m, then cost of iron sheet at the rate of Rs.

0%
Rs. $550$
0%
Rs. $1050$
0%
Rs. $1125$
0%
Rs. $1150$

Explanation

Total surface Area (excluding top) of the tank

$= 450\ sq.m.$

$450\ sq. m = L\times 2m$ (i.e. area of sheet required)

$\therefore L = 225\ m$

$\therefore$ cost at rate

$Rs. 5/m$ is

$225\times 5 = Rs. 1125$ .

Choose the correct answer from the alternatives given.
A contractor took a contract for building

$12$ kilometre road in

$15$ days and employed

$100$ labours on the work. After

$9$ days he found that only

$5$ kilometre road had been constructed. How many more labours should be employed to ensure that the work may be completed with in the given time?

0%
$120$
0%
$90$
0%
$110$
0%
$100$

Explanation

$100$ labours worked for

$9$ days,
Hence

$900$ man days =

$5$ km

$1$ km =

$\dfrac{900}{5}$ man days.
Now

$7$ km of the road needs to be built
Then

$7km$ =

$\dfrac{900}{5} \times 7 = 180 \times 7$ =

$1260$ man days.
Now thus

$1260$ man days of work needs to he completed in

$6$ days.
Let number of more workers required be x.

$1260=(100 + x)$

$\times$

$6$

$210 = 100 + x \Rightarrow x= 110$
Hence, number of more workers required are

$110$ .

Explanation

We know, Work = Men

$×$ hr/day×days

Work is same in both cases

Let

$48$ men will complete the same work in

$x$ hr/day

$20×8$ hr/day

$×21=48×x$ hr/day

$×7$

$48x=\dfrac{(20×8×21)}7$

$48x=20×8×3$

$x=\dfrac{(20×8×3)}{48}$

$x=\dfrac{480}{48}$

$x=10$

$48$ men must work

$10$ hr/day to complete the same work in

$7$ days

Khilona earned scores of $97$ , $73$ and $88$ respectively in her first three examinations. If she scored $80$ in the fourth examination, then her average score will be

0%
increased by $1$
0%
increased by $1.5$
0%
decreased by $1$
0%
decreased by $1.5$

Explanation

When earned scores are

$97,73,88$ then

Average

$=\dfrac{97+73+88}{3}\Rightarrow 86.$

When

$80$ is added in the score list then

Average

$=\dfrac{97+73+88+80}{4}\Rightarrow 84.5$

Hence, the average is decreased by

$1.5.$

$\dfrac { ^{ n }{ P }_{ r-1 } }{ a } =\dfrac { ^{ n }{ P }_{ r } }{ b } =\dfrac { ^{ n }{ P }_{ r+1 } }{ c }$ , then which of the following holds good:

0%
$c^{2}=a(b+c)$
0%
$a^{2}=c(a+b)$
0%
$b^{2}=c(a-b)$
0%
$\dfrac {1}{a}+\dfrac {1}{b}+\dfrac {1}{c}=1$

Explanation

$\dfrac{^{n} {P}_{r-1}}{a} = \dfrac{^{n}{P}_{r}}{b} = \dfrac{^{n}{P}_{r+1}}{c}$

$\implies \dfrac{n!}{(n - r+ 1)!a} = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)!b} = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r-1)!c}$

$\implies \dfrac{n!}{(n - r+ 1)!a} = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r)(n-r+1)!b} = \dfrac{n!}{(n-r-1)(n-r)(n-r+1)!c}$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{a} = \dfrac{1}{(n-r)b} = \dfrac{1}{(n-r-1)(n-r)c}$

$\implies n-r = \dfrac{a}{b}$ and

$n-r-1 = \dfrac{b}{c}$

$\implies n-r - 1 = \dfrac{a}{b} - 1$

$\implies \dfrac{b}{c} = \dfrac{a}{b} - 1$

$\implies \dfrac{b}{c} - \dfrac{a}{b} = - 1$

$\implies b^2 - ac = - bc$

$\implies b^2 = ac - bc$

$\therefore b^2 = c(a - b)$ (Ans)

None of the above

Explanation

Consider the two green bottles as one entity. Let's call it

$GG$ .

We will also refer to the green bottle as:

$G$ , and to the blue bottle as:

$B$ .

So now we have

$14$ units to arrange ( 1 green pair bottle + the remaining 5 green bottles + the 8 blue bottles):

$GG, G, G, G, G, G, B, B, B, B, B, B, B, B$

Now place the 8 blue bottles in a row, such that between each bottle has a gap before and after it:

_B_B_B_B_B_B_B_B_

Now we need to take the six green units (the 1 pair and 5 bottles) and place them in six of the nine gaps.

Therefore, the solution is:

$^9C_6 = 84 ways$ .

Explanation

Total number of letters

$=9$ in which N is repeated twice

Therefore total number of permutation

$=\dfrac{9!}{2}$

The number of permutation in which HIN comes as block

$=9-3+1=7!$

The number of permutation in which DUS comes as block

$=7!$

The number of permutation in which TAN comes as block

$=\dfrac{7!}{2}$

The number of permutation in which HIN and DUS comes as block

$=5!$

The number of permutation in which DUS and TAN comes as block

$=5!$

The number of permutation in which HIN and TAN comes as block

$=5!$

Therefore the required number of permutations

$=\dfrac{9!}{2}-\left(7!+7!+\dfrac{7!}{2}-3\times5!+3!\right)$

$=\dfrac{362880}{2}-\left(5040+5040+\dfrac{5040}{2}-360+6\right)$

$=181440-\left(10080+2520-360+6\right)$

$2.0$

Explanation

Speed of train

$=120\ kmph$

$=\dfrac{120\times5}{18}$

$=\dfrac{100}{3}\ m/sec$

Let 'x' be the length of platform

Now,

$\dfrac{Length\ of\ train\ and\ platform}{Time\ taken\ in\ crossing}=\dfrac{100}{3}$

$\Rightarrow\dfrac{320+x}{24}=\dfrac{100}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 320+x=\dfrac{24\times100}{3}$

$\Rightarrow 320+x=800$

$\Rightarrow x=480\ m$

$\therefore$ Man's speed

$=\dfrac{480}{4\times60}=2\ m/sec$

Explanation

Let A's 1 day work = a

B's 1 day work = b

C's 1 day work = c

$\therefore A+B+C = \frac{1}{12}$ ...(1)

$A+C = 2B$ ...(2)

$A+B = 3C$ ...(3)

From(2)

$A = 2B -C$ ...(4)

from (3)

$A = 3C -B$ ...(5)

comparing (4) and (5)

$2B-C-3C-B$

$3B = 4C$

$B = \frac{4}{3}C$ ...(6)

putting in (5)

$A = BC -\frac{4C}{3}$

$A = \frac{5C}{3}$ ...(7)

putting (6) and (7) in (1)

$\frac{5C}{3}+\frac{4C}{3}+C = \frac{1}{12}$

$\frac{12C}{3} = \frac{1}{12}$

$C = \frac{1}{48}$

$\therefore A = \frac{5}{3}\times \frac{1}{48} = \frac{5}{144}$

$B = \frac{4}{3} \times \frac{1}{48} = \frac{1}{36}$

$\therefore$ A finishes in

$\frac{144}{5}$ days

B finishes in 36 days

C finishes in 48 days

$17$ days

Explanation

${\textbf{Step -1: Finding number of work units for the first case}}{\text{.}}$

${\text{Total 24 men work for 8 hours a day and takes a total of 15 days to complete it}}{\text{.}}$

${\text{So total work units}} = 24 \times 8 \times 15 = 2880$

${\text{Thus, for the first case, it's a total of 2880 work units}}{\text{.}}$

${\textbf{Step -2: Finding number of days for the second case}}{\text{.}}$

${\text{Let it takes }}x{\text{ days for the worker to complete the task, so we can write}}$

${\text{Number of work units}} = 20 \times 9 \times x = 180x$

${\text{Also, the work is same so the work units must be same}}$

${\text{So, equating the work units for the two cases, we get}}$

$\Rightarrow 2880 = 180x$

$\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{{2880}}{{180}} = 16$

${\textbf{Thus, it will take 16 days for the 20 workers to complete the work}}{\textbf{. Thus, option B }}$ $\textbf{is correct.}$

Explanation

$\textbf{Step 1 : Find the no. of days}$

$\text{Here, a=5 and d=2}$

$\text{Let the carpenter finish the job in n days}$

$\text{Then,}$

$S_n=192$

$\Rightarrow 192=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

$\Rightarrow 192=\dfrac{n}{2}[2\times5+(n-1)2]$

$\Rightarrow 192=n[5+n-1]$

$\Rightarrow n^2+4n-192=0$

$\Rightarrow n^2-12n+16n-192=0$

$\Rightarrow n(n-12)+16(n-12)=0$

$\Rightarrow (n-12)(n+16)=0$

$\therefore n=12$

$\quad \quad \textbf{[Rejecting n = -16 as number of days cannot be negative]}$

$\textbf{Hence, he will finish job in 12 days}$

$(1+x+x^2)^n=\displaystyle\sum^{2n}_{r=0}a_rx^r$ , then

Explanation

using the letters of the word

$SUCCESS$ that the two

$C$ are together but no two

$S$ are together

let two C's be 1 unit

$\therefore$ no. of ways

$=\frac{6!}{4!}=30$

We have to put 1 letter between one S

So, No of ways

Explanation

$5$ days ,(

$4$ men

$+6$ women) get

$=$ Rs

$1600$

$\therefore$ , In

$1$ day, (

$4$ men

$+6$ women) get

$=\dfrac { 1600 }{ 5 } =$ Rs.

$320$ ...

$(1)$

$1$ day, number of persons to get Re.

$1=\dfrac { 320 }{ 4men+6women }$ ....

$(2)$

Similarly, in second condition,

$1$ day, number of person to get Re.

$1$

$=\dfrac { 1740 }{ 6\times \left( 3men+7women \right) } =\dfrac { 290 }{ 3men+7women }$ ...

$(3)$

From Eqs.

$(2)$ and

$(3)$ We get

$\dfrac { 320 }{ 3men+7women } =\dfrac { 290 }{ 3men+7women }$

$96$ men

$+224$ women

$=116$ men

$+174$ women

$\Rightarrow 20men=50women$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac { man }{ woman } =\dfrac { 5 }{ 2 }$

$\therefore, 1$ woman

$=\dfrac { 2 }{ 5 }$ man

from Eq.

$(2)$ in

$1$ day,

$\left( 4men+6women \right) =\left( 4men+6\times \dfrac { 2 }{ 5 } m \right)$

$=\dfrac { 32 }{ 5 } men\quad get\quad Rs.320$

$1$ day ,

$1$ man get

$\dfrac { 320\times 5 }{ 32 } =Rs.50$

$\therefore$ In

$1$ day,

$1$ woman get

$\dfrac { 50\times 2 }{ 5 } =Rs.20$

$\therefore$ , in

$1$ day

$\left( 7men+6women \right) get\quad 7\times 50+6\times 20=Rs.470$

Let, required number of days

$=\dfrac { 3760 }{ 470 } =8$ days

0%
$6 \,\,days$
0%
$5\,\, days$
0%

Explanation

$3 \ men \equiv 5 \ women$

$1 man = \dfrac{5}{3}\times 6 =10 women$

$(6 \ men + 5 \ women ) \equiv 15 \ women$

$5$ women can do the work in

$12$ days.

$1$ woman can do it in

$12 \times 5$ days.

Therefore,

$15$ women can do it in

$\dfrac{12 \times 5}{15}=4$ days

Explanation

Pipe can do

$\frac{1}{4}$ work in 5 hours.

$\Rightarrow$ pipe can do

$\frac{1}{20}$ work in 1 hours.

when both are opened simultaneously,

they can do

$\frac{1}{20} \frac{-1}{30} = \frac{1}{60}$ work in 1 hours

So, when opened together,

it takes 60 hours to fill the tank.

0%
$15$
0%
$20$
0%
$30$

Explanation

From given, we have,

$\dfrac{1}{x}+\dfrac{1}{x+5}=\dfrac{1}{6}$

$6\left(x+5\right)+6x=x\left(x+5\right)$

$x^2+5x-30=12x+30-30$

$x^2-7x-30=0$

$(x-10)(x+3)=0$

$\therefore x=-3,10$

Days can't be negative.

Therefore, the number of days A uses to complete the work is

$10$ days.

$A$ and

$B$ can complete a task in

$12$ days. However,

$A$ had to leave a few days before the task was complete and hence it took

$16$ days in all to complete task. If

$A$ alone could complete the work in

$21$ days, how many days before the work getting over did

$A$ leave?

0%
$7$
0%
$9$
0%
$5$
0%
$0$

Explanation

B can alone do the work

$=\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{1}{12}-\dfrac{1}{21}}$ days

$\implies \dfrac 1B = \dfrac{7-4}{84}=\dfrac{3}{84} = \dfrac1{28}$

$=28$ Days

Let

$A$ worked

$X$ days, So

Work done by

$A+$ Work done by

$B =1$

$\dfrac{X}{21} +\dfrac{16}{28} =1$

$\implies \dfrac{X}{21} = \dfrac{12}{28}$

$\implies X=9$

Hence,

$A$ worked for

$9$ days means

$A$ left work before

$( 16-9)= 7$ days of completion.

$A$ and

$B$ can do a work in

$10$ days.

$B$ and

$C$ can do the same work in

$15$ days.

$C$ and

$A$ can complete the same work in

$20$ days. In how many days can

$C$ alone complete the work ?

0%
$120$ days
0%
$118$ days
0%
$115$ days
0%
$110$ days

Explanation

In 10 days

$A$ and

$B$ does 1 work.

$\therefore$ In 1 day

$A$ and

$B$ will do

$\dfrac{1}{10}$ work -(i)

In 15 days

$B$ and

$C$ does 1 work

$\therefore$ In 1 day

$B$ and

$C$ will do

$\dfrac{1}{15}$ work -(ii)

In 20 days

$C$ and

$A$ does 1 work

$\therefore$ In 1 day

$C$ and

$A$ will do

$\dfrac{1}{20}$ work - (iii)

Adding equation(i),(ii)and (iii)

$In \quad 1 \quad$ day

$\quad 2(A+B+C)$ will

$do\left(\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{15}+\dfrac{1}{20}\right)$

$In \quad 1 \quad$ day

$\quad 2(A+B+C)$ will

$d o$

$\dfrac{13}{60}$

work.

In 1 day

$(A+B+C)$ will

$do \quad \dfrac{13}{120}$ work

In 1 d a y

$(A+B)+(C)$ will

$do \dfrac{13}{120}$ work

$A+B$ does

$\dfrac{1}{10}$ work in 1 day

$\therefore$ work done by C in 1 day

$=\dfrac{13}{120}-\dfrac{1}{10}$

$=\dfrac{1}{120}$

$\dfrac{1}{120}$ work is done by

$C$ in 1 day.

$\therefore 1$ work is done by

$C$ in 120 days.
