Question : If 45 persons can complete a work in 18 days, working 8 hours a day, then how many persons are required to complete two-thirds of the same work in 20 days, working 9 hours a day?
Option 1: 36
Option 2: 40
Option 3: 30
Option 4: 24
Correct Answer: 24
Solution : We know, $\frac{M_1 × D_1 × T_1}{W_1} = \frac{M_2 × D_2 × T_2}{W_2}$, where $M$ is the number of men, $D$ is the number of days, $T$ is the time in hours and $W$ is the work done. ⇒ $\frac{45 × 18 × 8}{1} =
Question : Direction: The following pie chart shows the monthly expenses for food, house rent, clothing, education, fuel, and miscellaneous. Study the pie chart and answer the question. If the percentage of expense on food is $x$% of the total percentage of the expenditure of clothing, education, and fuel, then $x$ equals:
Option 1: 66
Option 2: $66\frac{1}{3}$
Option 3: $66\frac{2}{3}$
Option 4: 67
Correct Answer: $66\frac{2}{3}$
Solution : Total expenditure on food = 30% Total expenditure on cloth, education and fuel = (12 + 15 + 18)% = 45% According to the problem, 30% = $x$% of (12 + 18 + 15)% $⇒ 30 = \frac{x \times 45}{100}$ $⇒ x = \frac{30 \times
Question : A man goes 24 m towards the east and then 10 m towards the north. How far is he away from his initial position?
Option 1: 23 m
Option 2: 25 m
Option 3: 26 m
Option 4: 24 m
Correct Answer: 26 m
Solution : A man goes towards east = 24 m Towards north = 10 m Distance from his initial position = $\sqrt{\text{Distance toward east}^2+\text{Distance toward north}^2}$ = $\sqrt{24^2+10^2}$ = $\sqrt{576+100}$ = $\sqrt{676}$ = $26$ m Hence, the correct answer is 26 m.

Option 1: 2,970
Option 2: 3,200
Option 3: 2,750
Option 4: 3,080
Correct Answer: 3,080
Solution : Let $x$ be the cost price. Loss = 16% of $x$ = $0.16x$ Selling price = cost price – loss = $x-0.16x$ = $0.84x$ New selling price = $0.84x+660$ Profit = 8% of $x$ = $0.08x$ Selling price – cost price = $0.08x$ $0.84x+660-x$ =
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the given sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding /subtracting /multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (16, 9, 154) (13, 7, 101)
