    Cost of 1 pen = 180 ÷ 12 = Rs. 15
    Cost of 8 pencils = Rs. 56
    Cost of 1 pencil = 56 ÷ 8 = Rs. 7
    Ratio of cost of a pen to the cost of a pencil = 15 : 7

     

  • Question 22
    1 / -0

    Three clocks ring at the time intervals of 4 sec, 5 sec and 8 sec respectively. If they ring together at 10 AM then how many times will they ring together within the time span of 4 minutes?

    Solution

    Multiples of 4 = 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40
    Multiples of 5 = 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50
    Multiples of 8 = 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120
    So, common multiples of 4, 5 and 8 = 40, 80, 120,
    As common multiples are going up in 40's, so we can keep counting in 40's to find more common multiples of 4, 5 and 8.
    ⇒ Common multiples = 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240
    Number of seconds in 4 minutes = 4 × 60 = 240 seconds
    So, after 10:00 AM three clocks will ring together for the second time after 40 seconds at 10:00:40 and again and again after every 40 seconds.
    So altogether they will ring 6 times within a time span of 4 minutes from 10:00 AM.

     

  • Question 23

    What must be added to each term of the ratio 49 : 68, so that it becomes 3 : 4?

    Solution

    Let the number be 'y'

    ⇒ 49 + y / 68 + y = 3/4

    After cross multiplication:

    4 × (49 + y) = 3 × (68 + y)

    ⇒ 196 + 4y = 204 + 3y

    ⇒ 204 - 196 = 4y - 3y

    ⇒ y = 8

     

  • Question 24
    1 / -0

    If 35% of A = (3/4)of 48 + 62, then find the value of A.

    Solution

    35% of A = 3/4 of 48 + 62

    35/100 × A = 3/4 × 48 + 62

    ⇒ 0.35 A = 144 ÷ 4 + 62

    ⇒ 0.35 A = 36 + 62

    ⇒ A = 98 ÷ 0.35

    ⇒ A = 280

     

  • Question 25
    1 / -0

    By selling a bed sheet for Rs. 96 a man loses 4%. For what amount should he sell it so as to gain 20%?

    Solution

    Let cost price = X
    Selling price = Rs. 96
    Loss = 4% of cost price = 0.04 X
    Loss = Cost price - Selling price
    0.04 X = X - 96
    0.04 X = X - 96
    X - 0.04 X = 96
    0.96 X = 96
    X = 96 ÷ 0.96
    = Rs. 100
    For 20%. gain selling price should be 100 + 100 × 20/100
    = 100 + 20
    = Rs. 120

     

  • Question 26
    1 / -0

    The average age of 4 sisters is 7 years. If the age of mother is included, the average is increased by 6 years. Find the age of the mother.

    Solution

    Average age of 4 sisters = 7 years
    Total age = 7 × 4 = 28 years
    New average when age of mother is included = 7 + 6 = 13 years
    Total age when age of mother is included = 13 × 5 = 65 years
    So, age of mother = 65 - 28 = 37 years

    What least value should be given to * so that the number 653*47 is divisible by 11?

    Solution

    A number is divisible by 11, If the difference between the sum of digits at odd places and the sum of digits at even places is equal to 0 or a multiple of 11.

    Sum of digits at odd places in the number 653*47 = 6 + 3 + 4 = 13 ........(i)

    Sum of digits at even places in the number 653*47 = 5 + * + 7 = 12 + * .........(ii)

    So, difference between the sum of digits at odd places and the sum of digits at even places = (i) - (ii)

    To find value of * equation must be kept equal to 0.

    ⇒ 13 - (12 + *) = 0

    ⇒ 13 - 12 - * = 0

    ⇒ 13 - 12 = *

    ⇒ * = 1

  • Question 36
    1 / -0

    How many tiles, 20 cm long and 10 cm wide, will be required to pave a floor which is 10 m long and 8 m wide?

    Solution

    As we know, 1 m = 100 cm
    Length of floor = 10 m = 1000 cm
    Breadth of floor = 8 m = 800 cm
    Area of floor = length × breadth = 1000 × 800 = 800000 cm2

    Length of tile = 20 cm
    Breadth of tile = 10 cm
    Area of tile = 20 × 10 = 200 cm2

    Area of floor = Number of tiles × Area of 1 tile
    800000 = Number of tiles × 200
    800000 ÷ 200 = Number of tiles
    Number of tiles = 4000

     

  • Question 37

    Number of men = 4 × 120 = 480
    Total number of employees = 360 + 480 = 840

     

  • Question 39
    1 / -0

    If 12 men or 18 women can reap a field in 7 days, in what time can 4 men and 8 women reap the same field?

    Solution

    12 men = 18 women

    ⇒ 1 man = 3/2 women

    4 men = (3/2) × 4 = 6 women

    Total women = 6 + 8 = 14
    18 women can do a piece of work in 7 days.

    Work done by 14 women = 14 / 7 × 18 = 1/9 units

    Hence, 4 men and 8 women can complete the work in 9 days.

    Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.

    Brain size and structure is not an automatic gauge of intelligence, but it can be a clue. Birds may be small, but they have proportionally large brains compared to their overall body and head sizes. In fact, birds' brains are similarly proportioned to primates, including apes, monkeys and humans. Studies of brain anatomy also suggest that while the structure is different than that of mammals' brains, birds may have a higher degree of connectivity between the sections of their brains. This could indicate more intelligence and faster reasoning than previously believed.
    We humans are used to thinking that our minds separate us from other animals. But new studies show that animals are quite intelligent and sensitive. Animal intelligence isn't found only in mammals. It can be found in other animals, such as birds. Although people call us 'Birdbrains' as an insult, our feathered friends can be very smart. Some can solve puzzles. For example, ravens can untie knots. Some birds can use tools. Some crows for example, use twigs as spears. Some birds can even use our language. An African grey parrot named ''Alex'' does more than just imitate human sounds. This parrot can name dozens of objects. It also seems to understand the ideas of 'same,' 'different' and 'amount.'
    Animals are able to feel emotion too. This ability can be painful for them as it is for humans. For example, some baboons live in groups where the leader controls them through fear. Low-ranking baboons can live in a constant state of stress. This stress can cause health problems, just as it does in humans.
