Answer: Option D Explanation: 5 60 x 18 m/sec 50 = 3
"Act well your part; there all honor lies." - Alexander Pope
Speed=
m/sec. 50 Length of the train = (Speed x Time) = 3 x9 m = 150 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum

A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 km/hr in the same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The speed of the train is: A. C. 45 km/hr 54 km/hr B. D. 50 km/hr 55 km/hr
Answer: Option B Explanation: 125 Speed of the train relative to man = 25 = 2 m/sec. 10 m/sec
25 =
18 2 x 5 km/hr
= 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be x km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 5) km/hr. x - 5 = 45 x = 50 km/hr.

The length of the bridge, which a train 130 metres long and travelling at 45 km/hr can cross in 30 seconds, is: A. C. 200 m 245 m B. D. 225 m 250 m
Answer: Option C Explanation: 5 45 x 18 m/sec Time = 30 sec. Let the length of bridge be x metres. 130 + x 30 25 2 25 = 2 m/sec.
Speed =
Then,
2(130 + x) = 750 x = 245 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum

Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds is: A. C. 1:3 3:4 B. D. 3:2 None of these
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y m/sec respectively. Then, length of the first train = 27x metres, and length of the second train = 17y metres. 27x + 17y x+ y
= 23
27x + 17y = 23x + 23y 4x = 6y 3 = . y 2 View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum x

A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform? A. C. 120 m 300 m B. D. 240 m None of these
Answer: Option B Explanation: 5 54 x 18 m/sec = 15 m/sec. Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m. Let the length of the platform be x metres. x + 300 36
Speed =
Then,
= 15
x + 300 = 540 x = 240 m. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum

"Success has many fathers, while failure is an orphan." - (Proverb)
Answer: Option D Explanation: A's 1 day's work = 1 ;
15 1 B's 1 day's work = 20 1 (A + B)'s 1 day's work = 15 7 (A + B)'s 4 day's work = 60 7 Therefore, Remaining work = 115 View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum = x4 = + 20 7 . 15 8 . 15 1 = 7 . 60 ;

A can lay railway track between two given stations in 16 days and B can do the same job in 12 days. With help of C, they did the job in 4 days only. Then, C alone can do the job in: 1 A. 9 5 days B. 2 9 5 days
3 C. 9 5 days D. 10
Answer: Option C Explanation: 1 (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 4 1 A's 1 day's work = 16 1 B's 1 day's work = 12 1 C's 1 day's work = 4 16 1 + 12 1 = 4 1 48 7 = 48 5 . . , ,
48 So, C alone can do the work in 5
3 =9 5 days.

A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day? A. C. 12 days 16 days B. D. 15 days 18 days
Answer: Option B Explanation: 1 A's 2 day's work = 20 1 (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 20 1 Work done in 3 days = 10 1 Now, 5 work is done in 3 days. + 10 1 = + 30 1 . 5 x2 = 1 . 10 1 + 60 1 = 60 6 = 10 1 .
Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum

A is thrice as good as workman as B and therefore is able to finish a job in 60 days less than B. Working together, they can do it in: 1 A. 20 days B. 22 2 days
C.
25 days
D.
30 days
Answer: Option B
Explanation: Ratio of times taken by A and B = 1 : 3. The time difference is (3 - 1) 2 days while B take 3 days and A takes 1 day. If difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days. 3 If difference of time is 60 days, B takes 2 x 60 = 90 days.
So, A takes 30 days to do the work. 1 A's 1 day's work = 30 1 B's 1 day's work = 90 1 (A + B)'s 1 day's work = 30 + 90 1 = 90 45 A and B together can do the work in 2 View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum 4 = 45 1 = 22 2 days. 2
5.
A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C? A. C. Rs. 375 Rs. 600 B. D. Rs. 400 Rs. 800
Answer: Option B Explanation: 1 C's 1 day's work = 3 6 1 + 8 1 = 3 1 24 7 = 1 . 24
A's wages : B's wages : C's wages = 1 : 1 : 1 = 4 : 3 : 1.
6 1 C's share (for 3 days) = Rs. 3x 24
24
x 3200
= Rs. 400.

10%
D.
12%
Answer: Option B Explanation:
"I never think of the future. It comes soon enough." - Albert Einstein
Cost Price (C.P.) = Rs. (4700 + 800) = Rs. 5500. Selling Price (S.P.) = Rs. 5800. Gain = (S.P.) - (C.P.) = Rs.(5800 - 5500) = Rs. 300. 300 Gain % = 5500 x 100 % =5 5 % 11
2.
The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, then the value of x is: A. C. 15 18 B. D. 16 25
Answer: Option B Explanation: Let C.P. of each article be Re. 1 C.P. of x articles = Rs. x. S.P. of x articles = Rs. 20. Profit = Rs. (20 - x). 20 - x x 100 = 25 x
2000 - 100x = 25x 125x = 2000
x = 16. View Answer Workspace Report Discuss in Forum
3.
If selling price is doubled, the profit triples. Find the profit percent. 2 A. 66 3 B. 100
1 C. 105 3 D. 120
Answer: Option B Explanation: Let C.P. be Rs. x and S.P. be Rs. y. Then, 3(y - x) = (2y - x) y = 2x.
Profit = Rs. (y - x) = Rs. (2x - x) = Rs. x. x Profit % = x x 100 % = 100%
4.
In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25% but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the selling price is the profit? A. C. 30% 100% B. D. 70% 250%
Answer: Option B Explanation: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125
New S.P. = Rs. 420. Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295. 295 Required percentage = 420 x 100 % = 21 1475 % = 70% (approximately).
