Question : A car covers a particular distance in 3 hours with a speed of 54 km/hr. If the speed is increased by 27 km/hr, the time taken by the car to cover the same distance will be:
Option 1: $2 \mathrm{~hours}$
Option 2: $1 \mathrm{~hour}$
Option 3: $2 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~hours}$
Option 4: $1 \frac{1}{2} \mathrm{~hours}$
Correct Answer: $2 \mathrm{~hours}$
Solution : Given: A car covers a particular distance in 3 hours with a speed of 54 km/hr. The total distance = speed × time = (54 × 3) = 162 km Now, the speed is increased by 27 km/hr, So, the new speed = (54
Question : Directions: Govind is 48 years old. He is twice as old as his son Prem, is now. How old was Prem seven years ago?
Option 1: 16
Option 2: 17
Option 3: 13

Question : Find the LCM of $\frac{3}{2}, \frac{81}{16}$ and $\frac{9}{8}$
Option 1: $\frac{91}{2}$
Option 2: $\frac{81}{2}$
Option 3: $\frac{111}{2}$
Option 4: $\frac{101}{2}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{81}{2}$
Solution : Given fractions = $\frac{3}{2}, \frac{81}{16}$ and $\frac{9}{8}$ We know that, LCM of a fraction = $\frac{\text{LCM of the numerators}}{\text{HCF of the denominators}}$ LCM of 3, 81, 9 is 81. HCF of 2, 16 and 8 is 2. $\therefore$ LCM of $\frac{3}{2}, \frac{81}{16}$ and $\frac{9}{8}$ =
Question : A pump can fill a tank with water in 1 hour. Because of a leak, it took $1 \frac{1}{3}$ hours to fill the tank. In how many hours can the leak alone drain all the water in the tank when it is full?

Option 2: 1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 4
Solution : Time taken by the pump to fill the tank = 1 hour Part of the tank filled by a pump in an hour = 1 Let $x$ be the time taken by the leak alone to drain the tank. Part of tank drained by the
