- D.
None Of These
Correct Answer
B. 16, 28, 36Explanation
The present ages of the three persons are in the ratio 4:7:9. Let's assume the common ratio is x. Therefore, the ages can be represented as 4x, 7x, and 9x.
Eight years ago, their ages would be (4x-8), (7x-8), and (9x-8).
According to the given information, the sum of their ages eight years ago was 56.
So, (4x-8) + (7x-8) + (9x-8) = 56.
Simplifying the equation, we get 20x = 80, which implies x = 4.
Substituting x=4 in the ages, we get 4x=16, 7x=28, and 9x=36.
Therefore, their present ages are 16, 28, and 36.Rate this question:

A batsman has a certain average of runs for 25 innings. In the next innings, he scores 156 runs thereby increasing his average by 2 runs. His new average isÂ
- A.
100 runs
- B.
102 runs
- C.
104 runs
- D.
106 runs
Correct Answer
D. 106 runsExplanation
In order to increase his average by 2 runs, the batsman must have scored a total of 2 * 26 = 52 runs in the 26th inning. Therefore, his average after 26 innings would be (25 * average + 52) / 26. Given that his average after 25 innings is x, we can set up the equation (25 * x + 52) / 26 = x + 2. Solving this equation, we find x = 104. Therefore, the new average after 26 innings is 104 + 2 = 106 runs.Rate this question:

A man spends Rs. 750 on an average during first 8 months. During the next 4 months he spends Rs. 680 per month. He took loan of Rs. 320 during the year and paid Rs. 600 for LIC premium. Find his monthly average income?
- A.
Rs. 650
- B.
Rs. 750
- C.
Rs. 850
- D.
Rs. 900
Correct Answer
B. Rs. 750Explanation
The man spends a total of Rs. 750 x 8 = Rs. 6000 during the first 8 months.
During the next 4 months, he spends a total of Rs. 680 x 4 = Rs. 2720.
He also took a loan of Rs. 320 and paid Rs. 600 for LIC premium.
So, his total expenses for the year are Rs. 6000 + Rs. 2720 + Rs. 320 + Rs. 600 = Rs. 9640.
Since his monthly average expenses are Rs. 9640 / 12 = Rs. 803.33, his monthly average income must be higher than this amount. Therefore, the correct answer is Rs. 850.Rate this question:

Running at the same constant rate, 6 identical machines can produce a total of 270 bottles per minute. At this rate, how many bottles could 10 such machines produce in 4 minutes?
- A.
648
- B.
1800
- C.
2700
- D.
10800
Correct Answer
B. 1800Explanation
If 6 identical machines can produce 270 bottles per minute, then each machine can produce 270/6 = 45 bottles per minute. Therefore, in 4 minutes, each machine can produce 45 * 4 = 180 bottles. Since there are 10 machines, the total number of bottles produced in 4 minutes by 10 machines is 180 * 10 = 1800.Rate this question:

A tank is filled in 5 hours by three pipes A, B and C. The pipe C is twice as fast as B and B is twice as fast as A. How much time will pipe A alone take to fill the tank?
- A.
20 hours
- B.
25 hours
- C.
35 hours
- D.
None Of These
Correct Answer
C. 35 hoursExplanation
Pipe C is twice as fast as B, and B is twice as fast as A. This means that if A takes x hours to fill the tank, then B will take x/2 hours and C will take x/2 * 2 = x hours. Since all three pipes are working together to fill the tank in 5 hours, their combined rate is 1/5 of the tank per hour. Therefore, the equation can be set up as 1/x + 1/(x/2) + 1/x = 1/5. Solving this equation gives x = 35 hours, which means that pipe A alone will take 35 hours to fill the tank.Rate this question:

Vishal goes to a shop to buy a radio costing Rs 2568. The rate of sales tax is 7%. He tells the shopkeeper to reduce the price of the radio to such an extent that he has to pay Rs 2568, inclusive of all sales tax. Find the reduction needed in the price of the radio.
- A.
Rs 168
- B.
Rs 169
- C.
Rs 170
- D.
Rs 172
Correct Answer
A. Rs 168Explanation
The reduction needed in the price of the radio is Rs 168. This can be calculated by finding 7% of the original price of the radio (Rs 2568) and subtracting it from the original price. 7% of Rs 2568 is Rs 179.76, and subtracting this from Rs 2568 gives us Rs 2388.24. However, Vishal wants to pay Rs 2568 inclusive of all sales tax, so he needs a further reduction of Rs 179.76. Subtracting this from Rs 2388.24 gives us Rs 2208.48. Therefore, the reduction needed in the price of the radio is Rs 168.Rate this question:

Each side of a rectangle is increased by 100% .By what percentage does the area increase?
- A.
200
- B.
300
- C.
250
- D.
350
Correct Answer
B. 300Explanation
When each side of a rectangle is increased by 100%, it means that both the length and width of the rectangle are doubled. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and width. Since both the length and width are doubled, the area will be multiplied by 2 * 2 = 4. This means that the area will increase by 400%. However, the question asks for the percentage increase, so we subtract the original area (100%) from the increased area (400%) to get the percentage increase, which is 400% - 100% = 300%. Therefore, the correct answer is 300.Rate this question:

6 parallerl lines are intersected by 5 other parallel lines. The total number of parallelogram formed is
- A.
130
- B.
150
- C.
170
- D.
190
Correct Answer
B. 150Explanation
When 6 parallel lines are intersected by 5 other parallel lines, it creates a grid-like pattern with multiple rectangles. Each rectangle can be considered as a parallelogram. To count the number of parallelograms, we need to count the number of rectangles formed. There are 6 lines on one side of the rectangle and 5 lines on the other side, so the total number of rectangles is 6 x 5 = 30. However, each rectangle can be counted in two different ways (horizontally or vertically), so we need to multiply 30 by 2 to get the total number of parallelograms. Therefore, the correct answer is 30 x 2 = 60.Rate this question:

Find the number of ways in which one or more letter be selected from the letters AAAABBCCCDEF.
- A.
479
- B.
480
- C.
958
- D.
960
Correct Answer
A. 479Explanation
The given question asks for the number of ways to select one or more letters from the given set of letters. To find the number of ways, we can consider each letter individually. The letter 'A' appears 4 times, so we have 2 choices for each 'A' (either select it or not). Similarly, the letter 'B' appears 2 times, so we have 3 choices for each 'B'. The letter 'C' appears 3 times, so we have 4 choices for each 'C'. The letter 'D' appears 1 time, so we have 5 choices for 'D'. The letter 'E' appears 1 time, so we have 6 choices for 'E'. Finally, the letter 'F' appears 1 time, so we have 7 choices for 'F'. Multiplying all these choices together, we get 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 4 * 4 * 4 * 5 * 6 * 7 = 479, which is the correct answer.Rate this question:

A motorboat, whose speed is 15 km/hr in still water goes 30 km downstream and comes back in a total of 4 hours 30 minutes. the speed of the stream (in km/hr) is:
- A.
4
- B.
5
- C.
6
- D.
10
Correct Answer
B. 5Explanation
Let's assume the speed of the stream is x km/hr. When the motorboat is going downstream, its effective speed is (15 + x) km/hr. The time taken to go downstream is 30/(15 + x) hours. When the motorboat is coming back upstream, its effective speed is (15 - x) km/hr. The time taken to come back is 30/(15 - x) hours. The total time taken is 4 hours 30 minutes, which is equal to 4.5 hours. So, we have the equation 30/(15 + x) + 30/(15 - x) = 4.5. Solving this equation, we find x = 5 km/hr, which is the speed of the stream.Rate this question:

In one hour, a boat goes 11 km/hr along the stream and 5 km/hr against the stream. The speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr) is:
- A.
3 km/hr
- B.
5 km/hr
- C.
8 km/hr
- D.
9 km/hr
Correct Answer
C. 8 km/hrExplanation
The speed of the boat in still water can be found by taking the average of the speed of the boat along the stream and against the stream. In this case, the boat goes 11 km/hr along the stream and 5 km/hr against the stream. The average of these two speeds is (11 + 5) / 2 = 8 km/hr. Therefore, the speed of the boat in still water is 8 km/hr.Rate this question:

If a boat is moving in upstream with velocity of 14 km/hr and goes downstream with a velocity of 40 km/hr, then what is the speed of the stream ?
- A.
13 km/hr
- B.
26 km/hr
- C.
34 km/hr
- D.
None Of These
Correct Answer
A. 13 km/hrExplanation
The speed of the stream can be calculated by finding the difference between the boat's velocity when moving upstream and downstream. The boat's velocity when moving upstream is 14 km/hr, while its velocity when moving downstream is 40 km/hr. The difference between these two velocities is 40 - 14 = 26 km/hr. Therefore, the speed of the stream is 26 km/hr.Rate this question:

A boat takes 90 minutes less to travel 36 miles downstream than to travel the same distance upstream. If the speed of the boat in still water is 10 mph, the speed of the stream is:
- A.
2
- B.
2.5
- C.
3
- D.
4
Correct Answer
A. 2Explanation
The boat's speed in still water is 10 mph, which means it can travel 10 miles in one hour. Let's assume the speed of the stream is x mph. When the boat is traveling downstream, the stream helps it move faster, so the effective speed is 10 + x mph. When the boat is traveling upstream, the stream opposes its motion, so the effective speed is 10 - x mph. The time taken to travel 36 miles downstream is therefore 36 / (10 + x) hours, and the time taken to travel the same distance upstream is 36 / (10 - x) hours. The difference in time is given as 90 minutes, or 1.5 hours. Setting up the equation: 36 / (10 + x) - 36 / (10 - x) = 1.5. Solving this equation, we find that x = 2. Therefore, the speed of the stream is 2 mph.Rate this question:

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is:
- A.
45 km/hr
- B.
50 km/hr
- C.
54 km/hr
- D.
55 km/hr
Correct Answer
B. 50 km/hrExplanation
The man is running in the same direction as the train, so his effective speed relative to the train is the difference between their speeds, which is 5 km/hr. In 10 seconds, the train covers a distance equal to its own length plus the distance covered by the man. The distance covered by the man in 10 seconds is (5 km/hr) * (10/3600 hr/sec) * (1000 m/km) * (10 sec) = 139 m. Therefore, the total distance covered by the train in 10 seconds is 125 m + 139 m = 264 m. The speed of the train is the distance covered divided by the time taken, which is (264 m)/(10 sec) = 26.4 m/s = (26.4 m/s) * (3600 sec/hr) * (1 km/1000 m) = 95.04 km/hr, which is closest to 50 km/hr.Rate this question:

A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?
- A.
120 m
- B.
240 m
- C.
300 m
- D.
None Of These
Correct Answer
B. 240 mExplanation
The train takes 36 seconds to pass the platform and 20 seconds to pass the man. This means that the man's length is subtracted from the total length of the train and platform. The difference in time is 16 seconds, which is the time it takes for the train to pass the platform. We can use the formula speed = distance/time to find the length of the train. Converting the speed from km/hr to m/s, we get 54 km/hr = 15 m/s. Therefore, the length of the train is 15 * 16 = 240 meters.Rate this question:

Present ages of Sameer and Anand are in the ratio of 5 : 4 respectively. Three years hence, the ratio of their ages will become 11 : 9 respectively. What is Anand's present age in years?
- A.
24
- B.
27
- C.
40
- D.
Cannot be determined
- E.
None Of These
Correct Answer
A. 24Explanation
The ratio of Sameer's age to Anand's age is 5:4. This means that for every 5 years Sameer ages, Anand ages 4 years.
Three years from now, the ratio of their ages will be 11:9. This means that for every 11 years Sameer ages, Anand ages 9 years.
By comparing the two ratios, we can see that the difference in their ages remains constant. This means that the age difference between Sameer and Anand will always be 1 year.
If Sameer's present age is a multiple of 5 (since the ratio is 5:4), then Anand's present age will be that multiple minus 1.
In this case, if Sameer's present age is 20, then Anand's present age will be 19.
Therefore, Anand's present age could be 24.Rate this question:

Ayisha's age is 1/6th of her father's age. Ayisha 's father's age will be twice the age of Shankar's age after 10 years. If Shankar's eight birthdays was celebrated two years before, then what is Ayisha 's present age.
- A.
10 years
- B.
12 years
- C.
8 years
- D.
5 years
Correct Answer
D. 5 yearsExplanation
Ayisha's age is 1/6th of her father's age. If we let Ayisha's age be x and her father's age be 6x, we can see that Ayisha's father's age will be 6x + 10 after 10 years. It is given that Ayisha's father's age will be twice Shankar's age after 10 years. If Shankar's age is y, then 6x + 10 = 2(y + 2). Simplifying this equation, we get 6x + 10 = 2y + 4. Since Ayisha's age is x, which is 5, the answer is 5 years.Rate this question:

A and B take part in 100 m race. A runs at 5 kmph. A gives B a start of 8 m and still beats him by 8 seconds. The speed of B is:
- A.
5.15 kmph
- B.
4.14 kmph
- C.
4.25 kmph
- D.
4.4 kmph
Correct Answer
B. 4.14 kmpHExplanation
In this question, we are given that A runs at a speed of 5 kmph and gives B a head start of 8 meters. Despite this, A still beats B by 8 seconds. To find the speed of B, we can first calculate the time taken by A to cover the 100 meters. We know that time = distance/speed, so the time taken by A is 100/5 = 20 seconds. Since A beats B by 8 seconds, the time taken by B is 20 + 8 = 28 seconds. Now, to find the speed of B, we can use the formula speed = distance/time. The distance covered by B is 100 meters, and the time taken is 28 seconds. Therefore, the speed of B is 100/28 = 3.57 m/s, which is approximately equal to 4.14 kmph.Rate this question:

At a game of billiards, A can give B 15 points in 60 and A can give C to 20 points in 60. How many points can B give C in a game of 90?
- A.
30 points
- B.
20 points
- C.
10 points
- D.
12 points
Correct Answer
C. 10 pointsExplanation
In the given scenario, A can give B 15 points in 60, and A can give C 20 points in 60. This means that in a game of 60, B is 15 points behind A, and C is 20 points behind A. To find out how many points B can give C in a game of 90, we need to calculate the difference in their scores after 60 points. Since B is 15 points behind A and C is 20 points behind A, the difference between B and C would be 20 - 15 = 5 points. Therefore, B can give C 5 points in a game of 30.Rate this question:

Running at the same constant rate, 6 identical machines can produce a total of 270 bottles per minute. At this rate, how many bottles could 10 such machines produce in 4 minutes?
- A.
648
- B.
1800
- C.
2700
- D.
10800
Correct Answer
B. 1800Explanation
The question states that 6 identical machines can produce a total of 270 bottles per minute. This means that each machine produces 270/6 = 45 bottles per minute. Therefore, in 4 minutes, each machine would produce 45 * 4 = 180 bottles. Since there are 10 machines, the total number of bottles produced in 4 minutes would be 180 * 10 = 1800 bottles.Rate this question:

39 persons can repair a road in 12 days, working 5 hours a day. In how many days will 30 persons, working 6 hours a day, complete the work?
- A.
10
- B.
13
- C.
14
- D.
15
Correct Answer
B. 13Explanation
If 39 persons can repair a road in 12 days, working 5 hours a day, it means that the total work requires 39 * 12 * 5 = 2340 person-hours. Now, we need to find out how many days will 30 persons, working 6 hours a day, complete the work. This means they will work a total of 30 * 6 = 180 hours. To find the number of days, we divide the total work (2340 person-hours) by the work done per day (180 hours), which gives us 2340 / 180 = 13 days. Therefore, 30 persons, working 6 hours a day, will complete the work in 13 days.Rate this question:

A vendor bought toffees at 6 for a rupee. How many for a rupee must he sell to gain 20%?
- A.
3
- B.
4
- C.
5
- D.
6
Correct Answer
C. 5Explanation
To find the number of toffees the vendor must sell to gain 20%, we need to calculate the selling price per toffee. The vendor buys 6 toffees for a rupee, so the cost price per toffee is 1/6 of a rupee. To gain 20% profit, the selling price per toffee should be 1/6 + 20% of 1/6. Simplifying this, we get 1/6 + 1/30, which is equal to 5/30 or 1/6 of a rupee. To find how many toffees the vendor must sell to gain 1 rupee, we divide 1 by 1/6, which is equal to 6. Therefore, the vendor must sell 5 toffees for a rupee to gain 20%.Rate this question:
