1. Two Trains A And B Start Running Together From The Same Point In The Same Direction At 60kmph And 72kmph Respectively. If The Length Of Each Train Is 240m. How Long Will It Take For The Train B To Cross Train A?

Relative speed =(72 -60)kmph 

= 12kmph = (12 x 5/18)m/sec = 10/3 m/sec 

Total distance covered =(240 +240)m =480m 

Required time =(480 x 3/10)sec = 144sec = 2min 24 sec.

2. Two Trains 105m And 90m Long Run At The Speeds Of 45 Kmph And 72 Kmph Respectively In Opposite Direction On Parallel Tracks. The Time Which They Take To Cross Each Other Is?

Sum of the lengths of the trains = (105 + 90)m = 195m 

Relative speed = (72 +45)kmph 

= 117kmph =(117 x 5/18)m/sec = 585/18 m/sec 

Required Time = (195 x 18/585)sec = 6 Sec.

3. A Train Crosses A Pole In 15 Seconds While It Crosses A 100m Long Platform In 25 Seconds. The Length Of The Train Is?

Let the length of the train be x meters. 

Then x/15 = (100+x)/25 

=> 25x = 1500 + 15x 

=> 10x = 1500 

=> x =150. 

Hence the lengths of the trains is 150m.

4. A Train Travelling At Constant Speed Crosses A 96m Long Platform In 12 Seconds And Another 141m Long Platform In 15 Seconds. The Length Of The Train And It’s Speed Are?

Let the length of the train be x metres.

=>(96+x)/12=(141+x)/15

=> 15x(96 +x) = 12 x (141 + x) 

=> 3x = (1692 -1440) = 252 

=> X = 84m 

Speed of the train = 15 m/sec 

= (15 x 18/5)kmph = 54kmph.

5. A Metal Sheet 27 Cm Long 8cm Broad And 1 Cm Thick Is Melted Into A Cube. The Difference Between The Surface Areas Of Two Solids Is?

Volume of sheet = (27 × 8 × 1)cm³ = 216 cm³ 

Volume of cube formed = 216 cm³ 

Therefore, Edge of the cube = (6 × 6 × 6)1/3 = 6 cm 

Surface area of original cuboid = 2 (27 × 8 + 8 × 1 + 27 × 1) cm² = 502 cm²

Surface area of the cube formed = [6 × (6) 2] cm² = 216 cm² 

Therefore, Difference in areas = (502 – 216)cm²= 286 cm².

6. If The Volumes Of Two Cubes Are In The Ratio 8: 1, The Ratio Of Their Edges Is?

Volumes be 8x³and x³ 

2x and x respectively 

Therefore, Ratio of their edges = 2 : 1.

Kamala’s present age = 30 years 

Son’s present age = (1/10 x 30) = 3 years.

16. The Tank Full Of Petrol In Arun’s Motorcycle Lasts For 10 Days, If He Starts Using 25% More Every Day For How Many Days Will The Tank Full Of Petrol Last?

Let us assume that Arun uses X units of petrol everyday. 

So the amount of petrol in the tank when it is fuel will be 10X. 

If he started using 25% more petrol every day, then the amount of petrol he how uses everyday will be 

X (1 +25/100) =1.25x 

Therefore, number of days his petrol will how last = Amount of petrol in tank / amount of petrol used everyday = 10x/1.25x = 10/1.25 = 8 Days.

17. If Mohan While Selling Two Goats At The Same Price Makes A Profit Of 10% On One Goat And Suffers A Loss Of 10% On The Other, He?

Let SP of each goat be Rs. X 

On one goat profit earned = 10% 

Therefore CP of first goat = Rs. 10X/11 

On other goat loss occurred = 10% 

Therefore CP of second goat = Rs. 10X/9 

Thus, total CP of two goats =(10x/11+10x/9) 

Here CP > SP 

Therefore loss percentage 

= 2x/99 x 99/200x x 100% =1% 

Suffers a loss of 1%.

18. In An Examination, Every Candidate Took Physics Or Mathematics Or Both 65.8% Took Physics And 59.2% Took Mathematics The Total Number Of Candidates Was 2000. How Many Candidates Took Both Physics And Mathematics?

Let x% candidates take both the subjects.

Therefore, Percentage of candidates who opted physics = 65.8% 

And percentage of candidates who opted mathematics = 59.2% 

Therefore, x =(65.8 + 59.2 – 100)% 

= (125 -100)% = 25% 

Also total number of candidates = 2000 

Therefore, Number of candidates who opted both the subjects = 25/100 x 2000 =500.

19. In A Survey It Was Found That 80% Of Those Surveyed Owned A Car While 60% Of Those Surveyed Owned A Mobile Phone, If 55% Owned Both A Car And A Mobile Phone, What Percent Of Those Surveyed Owned A Car Or A Mobile Phone Or Both?

Given that percentage of car owners = 80% 

Percentage of mobile phone owners = 60% 

Percentage of people having both car and mobile phone = 55% 

Percentage of people having only car = 80 -55 = 25% 

Percentage of people having only mobile phone = 60 -55 =5% 

Percentage of people having car or mobile phone or both = 55% + 25% + 5% = 85%.

20. A Gardener Increases The Area Of His Rectangular Garden By Increasing Its Length By 40% And Decreasing By 20%. The Area Of The New Garden?

Let the length and breadth of garden be l and b respectively 

Therefore, Area = l x b 

New length after 40 % increase = l x 140/100 = 1.4% 

New breadth after 20% decrease = b x 80/100 =0.8b 

New area = 1.41 x 0.8b = 1.12lb 

Therefore, change in area percentage =1.12ib-ib/ib*100%= 12% increase (New area – original area = 0.12> 0 i.e.., Increase).

21. Candidates In A Competitive Examination Consisted Of 60% Men And 40% Women 70% Men And 75% Women Cleared The Qualifying Test And Entered The Final Test Where 80% Men And 70% Women Were Successful? Which Of The Following Statements Is Correct?

Let there are 100 persons in which 60 men and 40 women number of men who cleared the qualifying test 

= 70 x 60/100 = 42 

Number of women who cleared the qualifying test 

= 40 x ¾ = 30 

Number of men who get success in final test 

= 42 x 4/5 = 33.6 

Number of women who get success in final test 

= 30 x 70/100 = 21 

Hence more men cleared the examination than a woman.

22. In A Test A Candidate Attempted Only 8 Questions And Secured 50% Marks In Each Of The Questions If The Obtained A Total Of 40% In The Test And All Questions In The Test Carried Equal Marks, How Many Questions Were There In The Test?

Number of literate males = 70% of males = 126000.

24. In A Company, 60% Of The Employees Are Men, Of This 40 % Are Drawing More Than Rs. 50000 Per Year. 36% Of The Total Employees Of The Company Draw More Than Rs.50000 Per Year Then What Is The Percentage Of Women Who Are Drawing Less Than Rs. 5000 Per Year?

Total number of employees be 100

Then number of men =  6000/100  = 60 

Number of women = 4000/100 = 40 

Therefore, number of men drawing more than Rs. 50000 = 2400/100 = 24 men 

Since the number of total employees drawing more than Rs. 50000 = 3600/100 = 36 

Number of women who draw more than Rs. 50000 = 36- 24 = 12 

Number of women who draw less than Rs. 50000 = 40 -12 = 28 

Therefore, Percentage of the women who draw less than Rs. 50000 per year = 28/40 x 100% = 70%.

25. 10 % Of The Electorate Did Not Cast Their Votes In An Election Between Two Candidates. 10 % Of The Votes Polled Were Found Invalid. The Successful Candidate Got 54 % Of The Valid Votes And Won By A Majority Of 1620 Votes. The Number Of Voters Enrolled On The Voter’s List Was?

Let the number of votes enrolled be x 

Votes cast = (90/100 × x) = 9x/10 

Valid votes = 90% of 9x/10 = (90/100 × 9x/10) = 81x/100  

Votes polled by successful candidate 

= (54/100 × 81x/100) = 4374x/10000 

 Votes polled by defeated candidate 

= (46/100 × 81x/100) = 3726x/10000 

=> 4374x – 3726x = 16200000 

=> x = 16200000/648 = 25000.

26. The Price Of A Certain Item Is Increased By 15 %. If A Consumer Wants To Keep His Expenditure On The Item Same As Before How Much Percent Must He Reduce His Consumption Of That Item?
