    For second question the answer is E =4.

    A= 9
    B=1
    C=3
    D=8
    E=4
    F=7
    G=2
    H=5
    I=6

    There is second solution in which we can rotate the image 180 degrees.

    A=6
    B=5
    C=2
    D=7
    E=4
    F=8
    G=1
    H=3
    I=9

    Hi Sahithi,

    sahithi pallavi
    1.One of the following is my secret word:AIM DUE MOD OAT TIE.With the list in front of you, if I were to tell you any one of my secret word, then you would be able to tell me the number of vowels in my secret word.Which is my secret word?

    I think "BOLD" line above is confusing. It should be: "if I were to tell you any one of my secret letters".

    Answer will be TIE.

    Hi Sahithi,

    sahithi pallavihai friends...!I am waiting for 4th and 6th answers...!

    English-Scared has already answered your 6th question correctly.

    For 4th question which is:-

    4)In the following figure:
           A       D
           B   G   E
           C       F
       Each of the seven digits from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 is:
      a)Represented by a different letter in the figure above.
      b)Positioned in the figure above so that A*B*C,B*G*E, and D*E*F    
           are equal.
    Which digit does G represent?
    

    Answer: G is 2

    Quick reasoning:- 0,5 and 7 could be removed because:-

    Cannot be 0 => At max 2 products could be made zero but not all three.
    Cannot be 5 => At max 2 products could be made to have 5 or 0 at Ones place but not all three.
    Cannot be 7 => This is the single number which has got none of its factors common with other numbers.

    From remaining: 1 2 3 4 6 8 9 we need to distribute:-

    Seven 2's; Four 3's and One 1.

    Can be done as follows:-

    3   1
    4 2 9
    6   8
    

    Therefore G is 2.

    Hi Sahithi,

    sahithi pallavinow the two questions are::

    7) Pipe A can fill in 20 minutes and Pipe B in 30 mins and Pipe C can empty the same in 40 mins.If all of them work together, find the time taken to fill the tank

    (a) 17 1/7 mins
    (b) 20 mins
    (c) 8 mins
    (d) none of these

    Answer: (a) 17 1/7 mins
    Workout:-
    Assume container to be of 120 ltrs.
    A's filling rate = 6 lt/min
    B's filling rate = 4 lt/min
    C's filling rate = - 3 lt/min

    When all 3 work together, Net filling rate = 6+4-3 = 7 lt/min

    Time to fill 120 ltr vessel = 120/7 = 17 1/7 mins

    [/QUOTE]
    8)Thirty men take 20 days to complete a job working 9 hours a day.How many hour a day should 40 men work to complete the job?

    (a) 8 hrs
    (b) 7 1/2 hrs
    (c) 7 hrs
    (d) 9 hrs

    [/QUOTE]

    This question is not clear.
    How many hour a day should 40 men work to complete the job? In how many days???

    If it is 20 days then none of the answer matches.

    Work out is:-

    Men hours needed to finish work = 30 x 20 x 9 = 1800 Men-hours (MH)

    If 40 Men work for "H" hours per day for "D" days,
    Total Men hours = 40HD

    40HD = 1800

    If D = 20 days, Answer = 6 3/4 hours.

    Please recheck your question.

    @itchap-RKJQDB Aug 19, 2009

    Qnswer for question.9

    Let the speed of escalator be x steps/sec

    then total steps in escalator is 26 + 30x (since the escalator covers 30x steps while the person covers 26 steps)

    Similarly the in the second case the total no of steps is 34 + 18x

    solving both .. 26 + 30x=34 + 18x
    =>12x =8
    =>x= 2/3
    therefore steps is 26 + 30*2/3 =46 steps

    Answer will be B.)46 steps
  • itchap

    @itchap-RKJQDB Aug 19, 2009

    Answer For Question 10

    The average age of the group is calculated by adding up all of their individual ages and dividing by the number of members, in this case 10. Four years later, all of the members are 4 years older so the sum of their new ages is 4 * 10 = 40 more than before.

    So, in order to make the average the same as before you would have to somehow subtract this extra 40. Therefore the new member is 40 years younger than the one he replaced.
    So Answer will Be B.)40 Years

    Answer For Question 11

    Look at the series its
    8 2 14 6 11 ? 14 6 18 12
    Now add the 1st number and the last number .. it is 20.
    not add the 2nd number which is 2 and the last but one number which is 18 ... it is 20..
    So if you keep adding these all the sum equals to 20. So the number next to 11 should be 9.
