Question 4. Cube Has Colors Blue, Red ,yellow Each On Two Opposite Sides. Cube Is Divided Into "32 Small Cubes And 4 Large Cubes". Question: How Many Cubes (on 36 Cubes) Have Blue At Least One Side. How Many Cubes Have Colors On Two Sides?

Answer :

If you paint the cube such that:

• Blue and Blue are on opposite sides
• Red and Red are on opposite side
• Yellow and Yellow are on opposite side
• And, since the question didnt state where the 32 smaller could be, Im placing the 32 smaller cubes on the sides with Blue paint.
• Thus: 32 cubes have Blue on at least one side.
• 20 cubes have have colors on two sides.

Question 5. There Are 76 Persons. 53 Can Read Hindu,46 Can Read Times,39 Can Read Deccan And 15 Can Read All.if 22 Can Read Hindu And Deccan And 23 Can Read Deccan And Times Then What Is The Number Of Persons Who Read Only Times And Hindu?

Answer :

No it must be 16

Since H+D=22 
T+D=23 
ALL=15 
then 76=22+23+15+(H+T) 
H+T=76-60=16.

Question 6. In A Right-angled Triangle, The Square Of The Hypotenuse Is Twice The Product Of The Other Two Sides. Then One Of The Acute Angles Of The Triangle Is…

Answer :

3 sides are p,q, sqrt(2pq).

now if it is sright-angle then 2pq=p^2+q^2;

cos(angle)=sqrt(p/2q);

sin(angle)=sqrt(q/2p);

So sin(2*angle)=2*sin(angle)*cos(angle);

sin(2*angle)=1;

So angle=45;

Question 13. A, B, C, D Went To A Hotel And Planned To Share The Bill Equally. But Afterwards They Changed Their Plan And To Pay Proportional To Consumption A Paid 240, B & C Paid Equally, D Paid Only Half The Amount That He Should Have Paid Based On The First Plan. What Is The Amount Paid By B?

Answer :

ans -160

jus suppose 1st plan all paid x rs means individually x/4
2nd plan
x eqals= 240+x/4+x/4+x/8
solving x equals 640
so
paid by B is x/4
160

Question 14. Suppose A Train Passes Two Cars Moving In The Direction At 45km/hr And 50km/hr In 36 Sec And 54 Sec Respectively. What Is The Length Of The Train?

Answer :

Train crossed the car with less speed in less time and the car with high speed in more time.i.e train and two cars going in the same direction.

hence 1st car

L/((S-45)*5/18)=36 i.e L=10S-450

similarly for 2nd car

L=15S-750

BY solving these two equations we get length of the train L=150mtrs

Question 15. In A Theatre The Ratio Of Car & Two Wheeler Is 1:8. Total Number Of Lyres Are 100. Find How Many Are Cars And How Many Are Two Wheelers?

Question 18. One Man Or Two Women Or Three Boys Can Do A Work In 44 Days Then One Man, One Women And One Boy Together Can Finish The Same Work In ---- Days?

Answer :

Exactly 24 days... 

1 man do 1/44 job per day.

2 woman do 1/44 job per day.

3 children do 1/44 job per day.

so 

1man , 1 woman , 1 child.

1/44+1/88+1/132 job per day 

so 11/264 = 1/t where t is the time taken.

now 264/11 = 24 = t

3

Divide the 7p into 1p, 2p, and 4p.

1p = 1p

2p = 2p

3p = 1p + 2p

4p = 4p

5p = 4p + 1p

6p = 4p + 2p

7p = 4p + 2p + 1p

Question 37. A Number When Divided By D Leaves A Remainder Of 8 And When Divided By 3d Leaves A Remainder Of 21. What Is The Remainder Left, When Twice The Number Is Divided By 3d?

Answer :

Ans: 3

When the number is divided by 3D we got 21. Means the number itself is 21 and 3D >21.

when 21/D, remainder is 8.

So D = 21-8 =13.

now (21*2)/(13*3), Remainder is 3.
