Answer : 4. "60/11"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 60/11 Explanation: A can complete the work in 12 days working 8 hours a day => Number of hours A can complete the work = 12×8 = 96 hours => Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/96 B can complete the work in 8 days working 10 hours a day => Number of hours B can complete the work = 8×10 = 80 hours => Work done by B in 1 hour = 1/80 Work done by A and B in 1 hour = 1/96 + 1/80 = 11/480 => A and B can complete the work in 480/11 hours A and B works 8 hours a day. Hence total days to complete the work with A and B working together = (480/11)/ (8) = 60/11 days

Answer : 3. "12.5 cm"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 12.5 cm Explanation: Let the required height of the building be x meter More shadow length, More height(direct proportion) Hence we can write as (shadow length) 40.25 : 28.75 :: 17.5 : x⇒ 40.25 × x = 28.75 × 17.5⇒ x = 28.75 × 17.5/40.25= 2875 × 175/40250= 2875 × 7/1610= 2875/230= 575/46= 12.5 cm

Answer : 3. "(24-1)(23-1)25"
Explanation :
Answer: C) C Explanation: It is explicitly given that all the 4 black balls are different, all the 3 red balls are different and all the 5 blue balls are different. Hence this is a case where all are distinct objects. Initially let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the black balls. Note that at least 1 black ball must be included in each selection. Hence, we can select 1 black ball from 4 black ballsor 2 black balls from 4 black balls.or 3 black balls from 4 black balls.or 4 black balls from 4 black balls. Hence, number of ways in which we can select the black balls = 4C1 + 4C2 + 4C3 + 4C4= 24-1 ........(A) Now let's find out the number of ways in which we can select the red balls. Note that at least 1 red ball must be included in each selection. Hence, we can select 1 red ball from 3 red ballsor 2 red balls from 3 red ballsor 3 red balls from 3 red balls Hence, number of ways in which we can select the red balls= 3C1 + 3C2 + 3C3=23-1........(B) Hence, we can select 0 blue ball from 5 blue balls (i.e, do not select any blue ball. In this case, only black and red balls will be there)or 1 blue ball from 5 blue ballsor 2 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 3 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 4 blue balls from 5 blue ballsor 5 blue balls from 5 blue balls. Hence, number of ways in which we can select the blue balls= 5C0 + 5C1 + 5C2 + … + 5C5= 25..............(C) From (A), (B) and (C), required number of ways= 2524-123-1

Answer : 4. "152 to 164"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 152 to 164 Explanation: A+7B=112 it is clear that A = 14, then it becomes A>=B, but A is smallest angle) givenso, range of A is 0.0001 to 13.9999 ( I am taking upto 4 decimal places)so, range of B becomes 14 to 16 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)so, range of C becomes 152 to 164 ( after rounding off to 4 decimal places)
