Answer : 1. "36 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 36 days Explanation: Given the ratio of efficiencies of P, Q & R are 3 : 8 : 5 Let the efficiencies of P, Q & R be 3x, 8x and 5x respectively They can do work for 12 days. => Total work = 12 x 16x = 192x Now, the required time taken by Q to complete the job alone = 162x8x = 24 days.

Answer : 3. "24/625"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 24/625 Explanation: Total no of ways = (14 – 1)! = 13! Number of favorable ways = (12 – 1)! = 11! So, required probability = 11!×3!13! = 39916800×66227020800 = 24625

Answer : 4. "8 hrs 34 min"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 8 hrs 34 min Explanation: Number of pages typed by Adam in 1 hour = 36/6 = 6 Number of pages typed by Smith in 1 hour = 40/5 = 8Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = (6 + 8) = 14Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (120 * 1/14) = 847 = 8 hrs 34 min.
Q: A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together. Remaining 125/3% of work is completed by D in 10 days. If C & D worked together for p day then, what portion of work will be remained? 1675 05b5cc669e4d2b4197774bf4d

Answer : 2. "1/6"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/6 Explanation: Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36 Total work = 144 units Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day According to the given data, 2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100 3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54 p = 198/16.5 p = 12 days. Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day (C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Answer : 1. "61%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 61% Explanation: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs.220, S.P. = Rs.320. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 New S.P. = Rs.320. Profit = Rs. (320 - 125) = Rs. 195 Required percentage = 195320×100== 60.9 =~ 61%

Answer : 1. "84 km/hr"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 84 km/hr Explanation: Let the speeds of the car, train and bus be 5x, 9x and 4x km/hr respectively.Average speed = 5x + 9x + 4x/3 = 18x /3 = 6x km/hr.Also, 6x = 72 => x = 12 km/hrTherefore, the average speed of the car and train together is = 5x+9x2= 7x = 7 x 12 = 84 km/hr.
