A) Swimming
B) Powerlifting
C) Athletics
D) Kabaddi
E) CyclingE) Cycling
Explanation:
Swimming = 22/480 * 100
Powerlifting = 31/490 * 100
Athletics = 13/420 * 100
Kabaddi = 19/480 * 100
Cycling = 28/380 * 100
Find the highest one - What was the average number of players who participated from all the given regions in Athletics?
A) 415
B) 605
C) 490
D) 560
E) 536E) 536
Explanation:
800+760+290+420+410 / 5 - What is the approximate percentage selection of players from the North region in all the given games together?
A) 4.35%
B) 5.36%
C) 3.66%
D) 12.48%
E) 16.85%A) 4.35%
Explanation:
Total participated from north region in all games = 2780
Total selected from north region in all games = 121
121/2780 * 100 - The ratio of players selected for all the given games together in North-east to that of Central region is
A) 3 : 5
B) 6 : 5
C) 5 : 6
D) 5 : 3
E) None of theseD) 5 : 3
Explanation:
Selected in north east = 41+19+45+23+22
Selected in central = 19+11+11+32+17
150 : 90 - Total number of players got selected from all the given regions together for Cycling is approximately what percent of the total number of players selected from all the given regions together for Swimming?
A) 74.3%
B) 85.5%
C) 63.6%
D) 92.5%
E) 106.5%B) 85.5%
Explanation:
Selected from cycling = 31+14+17+28+22 = 112
Selected from swimming = 18+31+19+22+41 = 131
112/131 * 100 - 18 men complete a piece of work in 10 days. 24 women complete the same piece of work in 12 days. 15 men start the work and complete half of the work, after which they are replaced by 36 women who complete the remaining work. Find the total number of days required to complete the work in this way.
A) 12 days
B) 15 days
C) 8 days
D) 10 days
E) None of theseD) 10 days
Explanation:
18 m – 10 days, so 15 m in 18*10 /15 = 12 days. They complete half of the work, so days required is 1/2 * 12 = 6
Now 24 w in 12 days, so 36 w in 24*12/36 = 8 days. They complete remaining half work. So days = 1/2 * 8 = 4
Total = 10 days - A bag contains 3 white balls, 5 black balls and 4 yellow balls. 3 balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that exactly one ball is black in color?
A) 16/33
B) 21/44
C) 11/24
D) 21/220
E) None of theseB) 21/44
Explanation:
From 5 black balls, ways for 1 balls is 5C1 = 5
From w+y balls (7 balls), ways for remaining 2 balls is 7C2 = 7*6/2*1 = 21
There are a total of 12 balls. Ways for drawing 3 balls is 12C3 = 12*11*10/3*2*1 = 220
So required prob. = 5*21/220 = 21/44 - An article is sold at a profit of Rs 1600 when 1/3rd of it is sold at 3% loss and remaining at 9% profit. Find the cost price of the article.
A) Rs 40,000
B) Rs 50,000
C) Rs 60,000
D) Rs 32,000
E) None of theseD) Rs 32,000
Explanation:
It can be calculated as:
CP = 1600 *100 / [2/3 *9 + 1/3 * (-3)] = 32,000
* 1/3rd sold at 3% loss so negative sign, 2/3rd sold at 9% profit. - The speed of the stream in which the boat is going is 1.5 km/hr. The ratio of the times taken by the boat to go downstream and back upstream is 1 : 4. Find the downstream speed.
A) 10 km/hr
B) 6 km/hr
C) 4 km/hr
D) 8 km/hr
E) 12 km/hrC) 4 km/hr
Explanation:
Upstream time = 4x, downstream time = x
R = 1.5
So using the formula,
B = [tu + td] / [tu – td] * R
Speed of boat in still water, B = 4x+x/(4x-x) * 1.5 = 2.5 km/hr
So downstream speed = 2.5 + 1.5 = 4 km/hr - Ratio of A’s age four years ago and B’s age four years ago was 5 : 8. A’s age 6 years after will be 6 less than B’s present age. Find the ratio of the present ages of A and B.
A) 2 : 3
B) 3 : 4
C) 4 : 5
D) 5: 6
E) None of theseA) 2 : 3
Explanation:
4 yrs ago, A-4/B-4 = 5/8
8A – 5B = 12
After 6 yrs, A + 6 = B – 6
Solve the equations, A = 24, B = 36
