Question : A man travelled a distance of 110 km in 11 hours. He travelled some distance on foot at 6 km/hr and the remaining distance on a bicycle at 14 km/hr. What is the distance travelled on a bicycle?
Option 1: 66 km
Option 2: 99 km
Option 3: 77 km
Option 4: 88 km
Correct Answer: 77 km
Solution : Let the distance travelled on foot as \(x\) km and the distance travelled on bicycle as \(110 - x\) km. The time taken to travel on foot is \(\frac{x}{6}\) hours and the time taken to travel on bicycle is \(\frac{110 - x}{14}\) hours. Given
Question : Of three positive numbers, the ratio of 1st and 2nd is 8 : 9, and that of 2nd and 3rd is 3 : 4. The product of 1st and 3rd is 2400. The sum of the three numbers is:
Option 1: $45$
Option 2: $85$
Option 3: $95$
Option 4: $55$
Correct Answer: $45$
Solution : Let the first and the second numbers be $8x$ and $9x$. Given, Second Number : Third Number = $3 : 4$ $\frac{9x}{\text{Third number}} = \frac{3}{4}$ So, the third number = $12x$ The product of the first and third numbers is 2400. $8x×12x = 2400$ or,
Question : A man drives his car at a speed of 50 km/hr for 2 hours and then decides to slow down to 40 km/hr till the end of the journey. If his average speed for the journey was 44 km/hr, then for how much time did he drive his car at a speed of 40 km/hr?
Option 1: 2 hours
Option 2: 1 hour
Option 3: 3 hours
Option 4: 4 hours
Correct Answer: 3 hours
Solution : Let the time of driving at 40 km/hr be $t$ hours. The total distance travelled = $( 50 \times 2 + 40 \times t)$ km The total time of travelling = $2 + t$ hours. According to the question, ⇒ $44 = \frac{{50 \times
Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the third number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number. 441 : 92 :: 169 : ?
Option 1: 2197
Option 2: 2019
Option 3: 2917
Option 4: 2719
Correct Answer: 2197
Solution : Given: 441 : 9261 :: 169 : ?
Multiply the first number by its square root to obtain the second number. Here, 441 : 9261→441 × $\sqrt{441}$ = 441 × 21 = 9261 Similarly, follow the same pattern for 169 – 169 × $\sqrt{169}$ =
Question : U, V, and W together can complete a work in 10 days. If U can work thrice as fast as V and V can work twice as fast as W, then in how many days W alone can complete the same work?
Option 1: 100 days
Option 2: 90 days
Option 3: 63 days
Option 4: 45 days
Correct Answer: 90 days
Solution : Let's the rate of work for U, V, and W are U, V, and W, respectively. It is given that U = 3V and V = 2W ⇒ U = 6W According to the question, Total Work = (U + V + W) ×
