Answer : 2. "K=1 & L=4"
Explanation :
Answer: B) K=1 & L=4 Explanation: As per divisibility rule a number is divisible by 6 means it should be divisible by 2 and 3 case 1 : the divisibility rule for 2 is the number should be end with even number in this case R =2 & R=4 case 2 : The divisibility rule for 3 is the sum of numbers should be divisible by 3so if we take option (2) Q=1 & R=4 the sum is 39 if we take option (3) Q=1 & R=2 the sum is 37 So Option (2) is correct 39 is divided by 3

Answer : 1. "168"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 168 Explanation: Let us say x boys and x girls joined the group. (64 + x)/(40 + x) = 4/3 192 + 3x = 160 + 4x => x = 32 Number of members in the group = 64 + x + 40 + x = 104 + 2x = 168.

Answer : 4. "37"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 37 Explanation: Let the number of students in the class be 'x'.Given if 1 is absent rest of people can be divided into 6 equal parts i.e (x-1)/6.........(1)And given if 2 are absent rest of people can be divided into 7 equal parts i.e (x-2)/7.....(2)From (1)&(2), we getx-1/6 = ((x-2)/7) + 1=> x = 37.
Q: Taps X and Y can fill a tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively.Tap Z can empty the filled tank in 60 minutes.If all the three taps are kept open for one minute each,how much time will the taps take to fill the tank? 6300 05b5cc764e4d2b4197774fde1

Answer : 3. "24min"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 24min Explanation: Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore, part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30 part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40 Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore, part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60 Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24 i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.
Q: In a fort, there are 1200 soldiers. If each soldier consumes 3 kg per day, the provisions available in the fort will last for 30 days. If some more soldiers join, the provisions available will last for 25 days given each soldier consumes 2.5 kg per day. Find the number of soldiers joining the fort in that case ? 6282 05b5cc6e5e4d2b4197774ed24

Answer : 3. "528"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 528 Explanation: Assume x soldiers join the fort. 1200 soldiers have provision for 1200 (days for which provisions last them)(rate of consumption of each soldier)= (1200)(30)(3) kg. Also provisions available for (1200 + x) soldiers is (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) k As the same provisions are available=> (1200)(30)(3) = (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) x = ([(1200)(30)(3)] / (25)(2.5)) - 1200 => x = 528.

Answer : 4. "1/2 kmph"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 1/2 kmph Explanation: Speed in upstream = Distance / Time = 3 x 60/20 = 9 km/hr. Speed in downstream = 3 x 60/18 = 10 km/hr Rate of current = (10-9)/2 = 1/2 km/hr.
Q: Without any stoppage, a person travels a certain distance at an average speed of 42 km/h, and with stoppages he covers the same distance at an average speed of 28 km/h. How many minutes per hour does he stop? 6202 05b5cc75ee4d2b4197774fcbb

Answer : 2. "20 minutes"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 20 minutes Explanation: Let the total distance to be covered is 84 kms.Time taken to cover the distance without stoppage = 84/42 hrs = 2 hrsTime taken to cover the distance with stoppage = 84/28 = 3 hrs.Thus, he takes 60 minutes to cover the same distance with stoppage.Therefore, in 1 hour he stops for 20 minutes.

Answer :
Explanation :
1. Answer (c) Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it. Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2 2. Answer (d) Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it. Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's) = 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4) = 19 - 8 = 11.
