Answer : 1. "127.5 m"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 127.5 m Explanation: When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m. When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m. In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C. In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C = (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.
Q: A university library budget committee must reduce exactly five of eight areas of expenditure—I, J, K, L, M, N, O and P—in accordance with the following conditions: If both I and O are reduced, P is also reduced.If L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced.If M is reduced, J is not reduced.Of the three areas J, K, and N exactly two are reduced.

Answer : 2. "J, L"
Explanation :
Answer: B) J, L Explanation: This question concerns a committee’s decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced. The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced: Reduced :: K, NNot reduced :: J The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding this to what we’ve determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both K and N are reduced: Reduced :: K, NNot reduced :: J, L Answer choice (B) is therefore the correct answer.

Answer : 4. "10 : 23 : 20 PM"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM Explanation: The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour. From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours. In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds. So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Answer : 1. "120"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 120 Explanation: 1/15 + 1/12 + 1/R = 1/6, we got R = 60 (it means R will take 60 days to complete the work alone) so ratio of work done by P:Q:R = 1/15 : 1/12 : 1/60 = 5 : 4 : 1 so R share = (1/10) x 1200 = 120.
