5)the front wheels of a wagon are 2(pi) feet in circumference and the rear wheels are 3(pi) feet in circumference. When the front wheels have made 10 more revolutions than the rear wheels how many feet has the wagon travelled?
(a)30(pi) (b)60(pi) (c)90(pi) (d)150(pi)
(pi)-3.14
Let x be the distance moved...
so the first wheel moves x/2(pi) revolutions.
2nd one moves x/3(pi) revolutions.
if the diff. in revolutions is 10
then 10=x/2(pi)-x/3(pi) =x/6(pi) => x=60(pi).
so the answer is
(b) 60(pi)

4)if x men, working x hours per day, can do x units of work in x days then y men, working y hours per day would be able to complete how many units of work in y days?
(a) X^2/y^3 (b) x^3/y^2 (c) y^2/x^3 (d) y^3/x^2
^- to the power of.
work done by the x-group =x*x*x-------(1)
work done by the y-group =y*y*y-------(2)
(2)/(1)=>
y^3
x^3
but units of work done by x-group is x
let units of work done by y-group be a
=>
y^3=
a
x^3 x
=>a=y^3 / x^2
so is the solution

Let x be the average speed.
its present velocity is v=5x/7.
the distance s=42km.
the time taken is,t=1hr40min48sec=1.68hr
speed is v=s/t
5x/7=42/1.68=25

25 pencils = 100 , so each pencil is Rs 4/-
15 books = 100, so each book is 100/15

So, he is left with 85 rs
nd den he bought 5 pencils dat cost him 20rs
nw remaining money is 85-20=65
1 book is of rs ~6.6
X = 65 * 15 / 100 = 39/4 ~ 9
with 65 rs he can buy 9 books

1,11,100,121,221,253,364

similarly
221-100=121
121-110=11
so let next term is x
ie x-121=y
nd y-121=11
so y=132
therefore
x=132+121=253
similarly for next term
x-221=y
y-132=11

Here is one question
15) A monkey starts climbing up a tree 20ft. tall. Each hour, it hops 3ft. and slips back 2ft. How much time would it take the monkey to reach the top?
So the relative movement per hour will be 1 ft.
in 17 hours it climbs 17 ft.
in the 18th hour it climbs 3 ft. and reaches 20 ft.
so the answer is
18 hours.

hey dazzling,
are you sure that the question and the options is correct....:?:
because for a work the product of the no. of workmen and the days that they take is constant...😕
so will be getting,
(x-10)*20=x*10
20x-200=10x

X=20

the angle covered in every minute is 6 (since 360/60)
so when the time is 3:25,
the angle made by minutes hand with respect to the 12th hour is 5x5x6=150.
then the angle made by the hour hand :
for every 1 hr the angle made is 30.
so for 3 hour 90
and for 25 mins past the hour hand makes an angle of 12.5
(every hour has 5 division so 30/5=6
so for every 12 mins it moves through one division
so for 25 mins it travels a little more the 2 division
so lets take the answer as 12.5)
therefore total angle made by hour hand is 102.5
angle between the two hands is 150-102.5=47.5

volume of cistern = V
volume through one pipe in 32 hrs = 32V/14
volume through another pipe in 32 hrs = 32V/16
Total volume through both pipes in 32 hrs = 32V/14+32V/16
total volume leaked = (32V/14+32V/16)-V
time required to leak above volume = 32hrs
time required to leak volume V = ?

32)two pipes can fill a cistern in 14 hours and 16 hours respectivly.the pipes are opened simultaneously and due to leakage it took 32 mins. more to fill the cistern.when the cistern is full in what time will the leak empty it :?:
volume of cistern = V
volume through one pipe in 32 hrs = 32V/14
volume through another pipe in 32 hrs = 32V/16
Total volume through both pipes in 32 hrs = 32V/14+32V/16
total volume leaked = (32V/14+32V/16)-V
time required to leak above volume = 32hrs
time required to leak volume V = ?
time required = 32V/[(32V/14+32V/16)-V]
= V/[V/14+V/16-V/32]

hello guys, 😀
here are the next set of questions.....
37) how do get 20 by using four 4s.
rules:-
the operators that can be used are the basic mathematics operators which are +,-,*,/.
- there must be an operator between two 4s...i.e.you cannot use 44 or 444,etc.
- and no splitting of the number...like 2 and 2...

40)The 4 people are lined up on some steps They are all facing in the same direction. A wall seperates the fourth man from the other three.
So to summarise :-
Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.
Man 2 can see man 3.
Man 3 can see none of the others.
Man 4 can see none of the others.
They are wearing hats. They are told that there are two white hats and two black hats. The men initially don't know what colour hat they are wearing. They are told to shout out the colour of the hat that they are wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour it is.
RULES:
They are not allowed to turn round or move.
They are not allowed to talk to each other.
They are not allowed to take their hats off.
Who is the first person to shout out and why?
Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
-
Is the question complete?
I think you should also give the colour of hats they are wearing in the question.
Man1 - White , Man2 - Black , Man3 - White - Man4 - Black.
Man 2 will shout and he is rite 😀
Because , Man 3 and Man 4 cannot see anyone so they cannot answer.
Now if Man 1 can see other two but he cannot shout because he is uncertain.
Man2 can see only man-3 thus Man-2 will shout he is wearing black hat because if he is wearing white one Man1 would be certain of his hat.

there will be only two possibilities:
I) both 2nd and 3rd are wearing the same colour......
then 1st guy will shout the answer.

44)here is a question that is a bit tough but just try it or i will give the answer:
How many squares are there on a chessboard? How many rectangles?
the answer for the last question is:
Number of squares in a chessboard:
1^2 + 2^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 6^2 + 7^2 + 8^2 = 204.
Formula N = (n(n+1)(2n+1))/6
Number of rectangles in a chessboard:
There are 9 vertical lines and 9 horizontal lines. To form a rectangle
you must choose 2 of the 9 vertical lines, and 2 of the 9 horizontal
lines. Each of these can be done in 9C2 ways = 36 ways. So the number
of rectangles is given by 36^2 = 1296.
Formula N = (n(n+1)/2)^2

the ans is x=100
let x be equal no: of sweets for A and B
A gains 20 from B so: A: x+20 and B: x-20
A loses 2/3 of his sweets that means B gains 2/3 sweets of A's:
hence A=(x+20)-2/3(x+20) and B=(x-20)+2/3(x+20)
finally B has 4times of A's sweets
so (x-20)+2/3(x+20)=4[(x-20)-2/3(x+20)]
solving it we get x=100

2)A,B,C,D are 4 friends who do not mind exchanging items. A had 2 chessboards each costing Rs. 500 and a record player. C originally had a cycle and a walk man. each cricket bat costs Rs.700. Both D,C got a cricket bat from B. A gave his record player costing Rs.2000 to B.C got a camera costing Rs.1500 from D.The cycle costs Rs. 1000 and the Walkman costs Rs.700.B had 3 cricket bats initially.D had 2 cameras total cost of which is Rs.5000. A gave one of his chess boards to C and took C's cycle.C gave his walkman to D. (2006 MBA)
2.1)Who did not have a cricket bat at the end?
(a)A, (b)B, (c)C, (d)D
2.2)Total cost of materials C had in the beginning?
(a)Rs.5000,(b)Rs.3000,(c)Rs.2100,(d)Rs.1700

2.5)After the transaction, who had items total cost of Rs. 1500?

solution:
solution will be:First i would like to give the explanation of solution
A had items:2 chessboard cost of each is Rs.500 & 1 record player of cost Rs. 2000
so A had in beginning items of total cost of Rs.=3000
after transaction he had only only 1 cycle of cost Rs.=1000 & 1 chessboard of his own
loss in transaction =1500
B had items:3 cricket bat each of rs.700
so B had in beginning items of total cost of rs.=2100
after transaction he had only 1 record player of cost Rs.=2000 & 1 bat of his own
profit in transaction =600
C had items:1 cycle cost of rs.1000 & 1walkman of cost rs.700
so C had in beginning items of total cost of rs.=1700
after transaction he had only 1 bat of cost Rs.=700 & 1 chessboard of cost=500 and 1 camera=1500
profit in transaction =2700
D had items:2 camera cost of one is Rs 1500 & other one of cost Rs. 3500
so A had in beginning items of total cost of Rs.=5000
after transaction he had only only 1batof cost Rs.=700 & 1 camera of his own of cast Rs.=3500 & a walkman of Rs. 700
loss in transaction =100
1. A[ A did not have the bat at the end]
2. 1700 [coat of materials c had in the beginning]
3. A [A had the maximum loss of Rs. 1500 after the transaction]
4. B & C made the profit after transaction
5. A [A had a chessboard and a cycle]

36)There is a pole in a lake.One-half of the pole is in the ground, another one-third of it is covered by water, & 8 ft is out of the water.
Then,What is the total length of the pole in ft?
solution : let the total length of the pole is x feet
x-[x/2+x/6]=8
6x-4x=48
x=24 feet
therefore total length of the pole will be 24 feet
the correct answer is 48 I think..

49) vikram was attending a maths class. his teacher asked him to take a seven digit number and add all the seven digits. then he asks them to subtract the sum of digits from the seven digit number. he asks them to write the answer down in the paper. vikram was not attentive and he missed one of the digits. he gave the rest six digits : 3,4,0,1,4,9 (the digits are also not in order 😉)

49) vikram was attending a maths class. his teacher asked him to take a seven digit number and add all the seven digits. then he asks them to subtract the sum of digits from the seven digit number. he asks them to write the answer down in the paper. vikram was not attentive and he missed one of the digits. he gave the rest six digits : 3,4,0,1,4,9 (the digits are also not in order 😉)
is possible for you to find the missing digit:?:
i found the answer 😁
the answer is
6
reason:
let us consider a number abc.
it can be written as 100a+10b+c.
the sum of it's digits is a+b+c.
when we subtract the sum from the number we get : (100a+10b+c)-(a+b+c) => 99a+9b ..... i.e. a multiple of 9.
this can be applied to any number of digits...
so the sum of digits obtained after subtracting the sum from number should be a multiple of 9.
therefore 3+4+0+1+4+9+x should be a multiple of nine.......=> x=6
am i right:?:
i did one sum in similar lines some time back 😀

no ,when you multiply them you get zero and zero is not considered as a prime 😀
prime numbers start only from 2
