Question: Ram leaves his house at 20 minutes to seven in the morning, and reaches Kunal's house in 25 minutes. They finish their breakfast in another 15 minutes and leave for their office which takes another 35 minutes. At what time do they leave Kunal's house to reach their office?

A. 7:40 a.m.

B. 7:20 a.m.

C. 7:45 a.m.

D. 8:15 a.m.

Answer:

Here, calculate the time step by step by following the steps –

1. Ram leaves his house at 20 minutes to seven in the morning, which means at 6:40 a.m.

2. Ram reaches Kunal's house in 25 minutes means at 6:40 a.m. + 25 minutes = 7:05 a.m.

3. They finish their breakfast in another 15 minutes means at 7:05 a.m. + 15 minutes = 7:20 a.m.

4. After that takes another 35 minutes, which means at 7:20 a.m. + 35 minutes = 7:55 a.m.

So, they leave Kunal's house to reach their office at 7:20 a.m. Hence, the second option is correct.

Question:

The weight of the four boxes is 20, 40, 80, and 90 kilograms. Which of the following cannot be the total weight, in kilograms, of any combination of these boxes, and in a combination, a box can be used only once?

A. 220

B. 230

C. 150

D. 210

Answer:

The weight of the four boxes is 20, 40, 80, and 90 kilograms.

The total weight of all possible combinations of boxes is as follows –

20 + 40 = 60; 20 + 80 = 100; 20 + 90 = 110; 40 + 80 = 120;

40 + 90 = 130; 80 + 90 = 170; 20 + 40 + 80 = 140;

20 + 40 + 90 = 150; 20 + 80 + 90 = 190; 40 + 80 + 90 = 210;

20 + 40 + 80 + 90 = 230

Therefore, there is no total weight of 220 kilograms in any combination. Hence, the first option is correct.

Question:

The average temperature of the town in the first six days of a month was 41° C and the sum of the temperatures of the first five days of the same month was 201° C. What was the temperature on the sixth day of the month?

A. 40° C

B. 45° C

C. 46° C

D. 50° C

Answer:

Average temperature of the first six days of the month = 41° C

The sum of the temperatures of 6 days = Average temperature × Number of days = 41 × 6 = 246° C

But, the sum of the temperatures of the first five days = 201° C

So, 201 + (temperature of the sixth day) = 246° C

The temperature of the sixth day = 246 – 201 = 45° C

Hence, the second option is correct.

Question:

Question:

A man gains 20% by selling an article for a certain price. If he sells it at double the price, the percentage of profit will be:

A. 40%

B. 100%

C. 120%

D. 140%

Answer:

Let the cost price (CP) be Rs. 100.

Profit = 20%

Selling price (SP) = 100 + 20 = Rs. 120

When the selling price is doubled, SP × 2 = (120 × 2) = Rs. 240

New profit = (New SP – CP) = (240 – 100) = Rs. 140

Thus, Profit % = 140/100 × 100 = 140%

Hence, the correct answer is 140%.

Question: In the following question, correct the equation by interchanging two signs.

6 + 8 ÷ 4 – 4 = 8

A. ÷ and =

B. ÷ and +

C. ÷ and –

D. + and –

Answer:

Given:

6 + 8 ÷ 4 – 4 = 8

Let's check the options –

First option: ÷ and =

6 + 8 = 4 – 4 ÷ 8

LHS→6 + 8 = 14

RHS→4 – 4 ÷ 8

= 4 – 0.5

= 3.5

LHS ≠ RHS

Second option: ÷ and +

6 ÷ 8 + 4 – 4 = 8

LHS→6 ÷ 8 + 4 – 4

= 0.75 + 4 – 4

= 0.75

RHS→8

LHS ≠ RHS

Third option: ÷ and –

6 + 8 – 4 ÷ 4 = 8

LHS→6 + 8 – 4 ÷ 4

= 6 + 8 – 1

= 14 – 1

= 13

RHS→8

LHS ≠ RHS

Fourth option: + and –

6 – 8 ÷ 4 + 4 = 8

LHS→6 – 8 ÷ 4 + 4

= 6 – 2 + 4

= 10 – 2

= 8

RHS→8

LHS = RHS

Only the fourth option satisfies the equation. Hence, the fourth option is correct.

Question: The age of Dr. Pandey is four times the age of his son. After 10 years, the age of Dr. Pandey will be twice the age of his son. What is the present age of Dr. Pandey's son?

A. 4 years

B. 5 years

C. 6 years

D. 8 years

Answer:

Let Dr. Pandey's present age be A, and Dr. Pandey's son's present age be B.

As per the given information,

Dr. Pandey's age is four times the age of his son ⇒ A = 4 × B = 4B

After 10 years, Dr. Pandey's age = (A + 10), and Dr. Pandey's son's age = (B + 10)

Also, after 10 years, Dr. Pandey's age will be twice his son's age, i.e., (A + 10) = 2 × (B + 10)

As, A = 4B; therefore, (A + 10) = 2 × (B + 10) can be written as –

⇒ (4B + 10) = 2 × (B + 10)

⇒ 4B + 10 = 2B + 20

⇒ 4B – 2B = 20 – 10

⇒ 2B = 10 ⇒ B = 10 ÷ 2

⇒ B = 5

So, Dr. Pandey's son's present age is 5 years. Hence, the second option is correct
