  • Question 1
    3 / -1

    The total of the ages of Amar, Akbar and Anthony is 80 years. What was the total of their ages three years ago ?

    Solution

    Required sum = (80 - 3 x 3) years = (80 - 9) years = 71 years.

  • Question 2
    3 / -1

    Two bus tickets from city A to B and three tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 77 but three tickets from city A to B and two tickets from city A to C cost Rs. 73. What are the fares for cities B and C from A ?

    Solution

    Let Rs. x be the fare of city B from city A and Rs. y be the fare of city C from city A.

    Then, 2x + 3y = 77 ...(i) and

    3x + 2y = 73 ...(ii)

    Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2 and subtracting, we get: 5y = 85 or y = 17.

    Putting y = 17 in (i), we get: x = 13.

  • Question 3
    3 / -1

    A number of friends decided to go on a picnic and planned to spend Rs. 96 on eatables. Four of them, however, did not turn up. As a consequence, the remaining ones had to contribute Rs. 4 each extra. The number of those who attended the picnic was

    Solution

  • Question 4
    3 / -1

    An institute organised a fete and 1/5 of the girls and 1/8 of the boys participated in the same. What fraction of the total number of students took part in the fete ?

    Solution

    Ans is "Data inadequate".

    Suppose ther are 18 students (10 girls, 8 boys).
    1/5 of 10=2 (girls).
    1/8 of 8=1 (boy).
    Total participation=2+1=3.
    Total students=10+8=18.
    Answer = 3/18 = 1/6.
    Answer cannot be determined until we have the "Ratio of girls to boys"
     

  • Question 5
    3 / -1

    A, B, C, D and E play a game of cards. A says to B, "If you give me three cards, you will have as many as E has and if I give you three cards, you will have as many as D has." A and B together have 10 cards more than what D and E together have. If B has two cards more than what C has and the total number of cards be 133, how many cards does B have ?

    Solution

    Clearly, we have :

    B-3 = E ...(i)

    B + 3 = D ...(ii)

    A+B = D + E+10 ...(iii)

    B = C + 2 ...(iv)

    A+B + C + D + E= 133 ...(v)

    From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E ...(vi)

    From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 ...(vii)

    Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:

    (B + 10) + B + (B - 2) + 2B = 133 5B = 125 B = 25.

  • Question 6
    3 / -1

    A pineapple costs Rs. 7 each. A watermelon costs Rs. 5 each. X spends Rs. 38 on these fruits. The number of pineapples purchased is

    Solution

  • Question 7
    3 / -1

    A woman says, "If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband's age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum." The woman's age is

    Solution

    Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age.
    Then, woman's age = (10x + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years.

    Therefore (10y + x)- (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y)
    ⇒ (9y-9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y)
    ⇒ 10x = 8y x = (4/5)y

    Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5.
    So, x = 4, y = 5.
    Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.

  • Question 8
    3 / -1

    A girl counted in the following way on the fingers of her left hand : She started by calling the thumb 1, the index finger 2, middle finger 3, ring finger 4, little finger 5 and then reversed direction calling the ring finger 6, middle finger 7 and so on. She counted upto 1994. She ended counting on which finger ?

    Solution

    Clearly, while counting, the numbers associated to the thumb will be : 1, 9,17, 25,.....

    i.e. numbers of the form (8n + 1).

    Since 1994 = 249 x 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index finger.

  • Question 9
    3 / -1

    A man has Rs. 480 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?

    Solution

    Let number of notes of each denomination be x.

    Then x + 5x + 10x = 480

    ⇒ 16x = 480

    ∴ x = 30.

    Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 90.

  • Question 10
    3 / -1

    What is the product of all the numbers in the dial of a telephone ?

    Solution

    Since one of the numbers on the dial of a telephone is zero, so the product of all the numbers on it is 0.

  • Question 11
    3 / -1

    A is 3 years older to B and 3 years younger to C, while B and D are twins. How many years older is C to D?

    Solution

    Since B and D are twins, so B = D.
    Now, A = B + 3 and A = C - 3.
    Thus, B + 3 = C - 3
    ⇒ D + 3 = C-3
    ⇒ C - D = 6

  • Question 12
    3 / -1

    The 30 members of a club decided to play a badminton singles tournament. Every time a member loses a game he is out of the tournament. There are no ties. What is the minimum number of matches that must be played to determine the winner ?

    Solution

    Clearly, every member except one (i.e. the winner) must lose one game to decide the winner. Thus, minimum number of matches to be played = 30 - 1 = 29.

  • Question 13
    3 / -1

    In a garden, there are 10 rows and 12 columns of mango trees. The distance between the two trees is 2 metres and a distance of one metre is left from all sides of the boundary of the garden. The length of the garden is

    Solution

    Each row contains 12 plants.

    There are 11 gapes between the two corner trees (11 x 2) metres and 1 metre on each side is left.

    Therefore Length = (22 + 2) m = 24 m.

  • Question 14
    3 / -1

    12 year old Manick is three times as old as his brother Rahul. How old will Manick be when he is twice as old as Rahul ?

    Solution

    Manick's present age = 12 years, Rahul's present age = 4 years.

    Let Manick be twice as old as Rahul after x years from now.
    Then, 12 + x = 2 (4 + x)
    ⇒ 12 + x = 8 + 2x
    ⇒ x = 4.

    Hence, Manick's required age = 12 + x = 16 years.

  • Question 15
    3 / -1

    A tailor had a number of shirt pieces to cut from a roll of fabric. He cut each roll of equal length into 10 pieces. He cut at the rate of 45 cuts a minute. How many rolls would be cut in 24 minutes ?

    Solution

    Number of cuts made to cut a roll into 10 pieces = 9.

    Therefore Required number of rolls = (45 x 24)/9 = 120.

  • Question 16
    3 / -1

    In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class ?

    Solution

    Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively.
    Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5
    ⇒ Number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10
    ⇒  Number of students not participating in sports = 60 - (15 + 10) = 35

    Let number of boys not participating in sports be y.
    Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 -y)

    Therefore (35 - y) = y + 5
    ⇒  2y = 30
    ⇒  y = 15

    So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 - 15) = 20

    Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30

  • Question 17
    3 / -1

    There are deer and peacocks in a zoo. By counting heads they are 80. The number of their legs is 200. How many peacocks are there ?

    Solution

    Let x and y be the number of deer and peacocks in the zoo respectively. Then,

    x + y = 80 ...(i) and

    4x + 2y = 200 or 2x + y = 100 ...(ii)

    Solving (i) and (ii), we get) x = 20, y = 60.

  • Question 18
    3 / -1

    A man wears socks of two colours - Black and brown. He has altogether 20 black socks and 20 brown socks in a drawer. Supposing he has to take out the socks in the dark, how many must he take out to be sure that he has a matching pair ?

    Solution

    Since there are socks of only two colours, so two out of any three socks must always be of the same colour.

  • Question 19
    3 / -1

    A motorist knows four different routes from Bristol to Birmingham. From Birmingham to Sheffield he knows three different routes and from Sheffield to Carlisle he knows two different routes. How many routes does he know from Bristol to Carlisle ?

    Solution

    Total number of routes from Bristol to Carlisle = (4 x 3 x 2) = 24.

  • Question 20
    3 / -1

    Mac has £ 3 more than Ken, but then Ken wins on the horses and trebles his money so that he now has £ 2 more than the original amount of money that the two boys had between them. How much money did Mac and Ken have between them before Ken's win?

    Solution

    Let money with Ken = x. Then, money with Mac = x + £ 3.

    Now, 3x = (x + x + £ 3) + £ 2 ⇒ x = £ 5.

    Therefore Total money with Mac and Ken = 2x + £ 3 = £ 13.

  • Question 21
    3 / -1

    In a class, there are 18 boys who are over 160 cm tall. If these constitute three-fourths of the boys and the total number of boys is two-thirds of the total number of students in the class, what is the number of girls in the class ?

    Solution

    Let the number of boys be x. Then, (3/4)x = 18 or x = 18 x(4/3) = 24.

    If total number of students is y, then (2/3) y = 24 or y = 24 x (3/2) = 36.

    Therefore Number of girls in the class = (36 - 24) = 12.

  • Question 22
    3 / -1

    A father is now three times as old as his son. Five years back, he was four times as old as his son. The age of the son (in years) is

    Solution

    Let son's age be x years. Then, father's age = (3x) years.
    Five years ago, father's age = (3x - 5) years and son's age = (x - 5) years.

    So, 3x - 5 = 4 (x - 5)
    ⇒ 3x - 5 = 4x - 20
    ⇒  x = 15

  • Question 23
    3 / -1

    A waiter's salary consists of his salary and tips. During one week his tips were 5/4 of his salary. What fraction of his income came from tips ?

    Solution

  • Question 24
    3 / -1

    If you write down all the numbers from 1 to 100, then how many times do you write 3 ?

    Solution

    Clearly, from 1 to 100, there are ten numbers with 3 as the unit's digit- 3, 13, 23, 33, 43, 53, 63, 73, 83, 93; and ten numbers with 3 as the ten's digit - 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39.

    So, required number = 10 + 10 = 20.
