Explanation :
we can’t find the amount of profit because amount is not given - What is the present age of satish?
1) Five years ago, satish age was double that of his son’s age that time.
2) Present age of satish and his son are in the ratio of 11:6.
3) Five year hence, the respective ratio of satish age and his son’s age become 12:7
a) Only 1 and 2
b) Only 2 and 3
c) Any two of three
d) All are needed
e) None of theseAnswer –c) Any two of three
Explanation :
according to first sentence, (S -5) = 2*(X – 5) [S is the age of satish and x is the age of his son]
according to second sentence, S:X = 11:6
according to third sentence, (S + 5)/(X +5) = 12/7 - What is the two-digit number?
1) The number obtained by interchanging the digits is more than the original number by 27.
2) Sum of the digits is 9.
3) Difference between the digits is 3.
a) only 1 and 2 needed
b) only B and C needed
c) only A and C needed
d) Can’t be determined
e) None of theseAnswer –a) only 1 and 2 needed
Explanation :
from A, (10b + a) – (10a +b) = 27, b –a =3
from B, a +b = 9
from C, a – b = 3 or b –a =3
so only A and B needed to answer the question - What is the speed of the train?
1) The train crosses the signal pole in 9 seconds
2) The train crosses a platform of equal length in 18 seconds
3) Length of train is 320 meters.
a) 1 and 2 needed
b) 2 and 3 needed
c) All 1, 2, 3 needed
d) only C and either 1 or 2 needed
e) None of theseAnswer –d) only C and either 1 or 2 needed
Explanation :
from A, L = s*9
from B, 2L = s*18
from C, L = 320 - Who earns most among A, B, C, D and E?
1) A earns less than C but not less than E
2) D earns more than A but not equal to B
3) B earns more than A and E
a) Can’t be determined
b) Only 1 and 2 needed
c) All three are needed
d) Only 2 and 3 needed
e) None of theseAnswer –a) Can’t be determined
Explanation :
From 1st , C>A>E
From 2nd, D>A (B not equal to D)
From 3rd, B>A,E - A, B and C together invested an amount of rupees 10000 in the ratio 5:3:2. What was the percent profit earned by them at the end of one year?
1) B’s share in the profit is 1200
2) Amount of profit received by A is equal to the profit received by B and C together
3) The amount of profit earned by B and C together is 2000
a) 1 or 3 only
b) 2 and 3 only
c) 1 and 3 only
d) can’t be determined
e) None of theseAnswer –a) 1 or 3 only
Explanation :
Profit will be divided in the ratio of 5:3:2
from 1st, (3/10)*p = 1200, p = 4000, so profit percent = (4000/10000)*100 = 40%
similarly from 3rd, (5/10)*p = 2000, p = 4000 - What is A’s position from the right end in a row of 30 students?Â
1) A is third to the right of B, who is twelfth from the right end.
2) H is 14th from the right end of the row and there are eight students between H and A.
a) only 1 is needed
b) only 2 is needed
c) both 1 and 2 needed
d) can’t be determined
e) None of theseAnswer –a) only 1 is needed
Explanation :
from 1st, (18 students) B * * A (8 students) so A is ninth from the right end
from second we can’t say anything - A, B, C, D, and E are sitting in a row. Who among them is in the middle?Â
1) C is sitting on the immediate right of who is sitting on the immediate right of B
2) C and E always sit together with a condition that one of them will necessarily occupy the right end.
a) only 1 is needed
b) only 2 is needed
c) both 1 and 2 needed
d) can’t be determined
e) None of theseAnswer –d) can’t be determined
Explanation :
from first sentence, B _ C
from second, either _B_CE or _ _ BEC
so, we can’t determine - How much time will the train A will take to cross another train B running in opposite direction?
1) Train A crosses a signal pole in 12 seconds
2) Ratio of speed of train A and B is 2:3
3) Length of two trains together is 500 meters
a) 1 only
b) 2 only
c) 1 and 3 only
d) all 1, 2 and 3 needed
e) can’t be determinedAnswer –e) can’t be determined
Explanation :
from first, L1 = Sa*12
from second, Sa: Sb = 2:3
from third 500 = (Sa + Sb)*T
so we can’t determine the time - How many days did neha take to complete his work?Â
1. Preeti correctly remembers that neha took more than 4 days but less than 11 days to complete the work.
2. Kirti correctly remembers that neha took more than 9 days but less than 15 days to complete the work
