  6. 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 these
    D) 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

  7. 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 these
    B) 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

  8. 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 these
    D) 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.

  9. 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/hr
    C) 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

  10. 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 these
    A) 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
