Gowtham is younger than Dravid by 7 years. If their ages are in the respective ratio of 7 : 9, how old is Gowtham?

   A.) 23 Years
   B.) 24 Years
   C.) 23.5 Years
   D.) 24.5 Years

Answer: Option 'D'

Let Dravid's age be x years.
Then Gowtham's age = (x-7) years
so [(x-7)/x] = 9/7
9x-63 = 7x
2x = 63
x = 31.5
Hence, Gowtham's age = (x-7) = 24.5 years

Then, x + 9 = 56/100(x + 9 + x)
25(x + 9) = 14(2x + 9)
3x = 99
x = 33
So, their marks are 42 and 33.

A chemical plant has tanks (A, B, C and D) each containing 1000 litres of a chemical. The chemical is being pumped from one tank to another as follows: From A to B at 20 litres/min From C to A at 90 litres/min From A to D at 10 litres/min From C to D at 50 litres/min From B to C at 100 litres/min From D to B at 110 litres/min Which tank gets emptied first, and how long does it take (in minutes) to get empty after pumping starts?

   A.) A, 17.77
   B.) C, 22
   C.) D, 20
   D.) D, 25

Answer: Option 'C'

Let X be the part of tank filled per minute and Y be the part of tank emptied per minute.
Tank X Y A 90 (20+10) B (110+20) 100 C 100 (90+50) D (10+50) 110 From the above table,
we can see that D and C will empty soon.
Time taken to empty D = 1000/(110-60) = 1000/50 = 20 minutes
Time taken to empty C = 1000/(140-100) = 1000/40 = 25
Hence, D gets emptied first

A and B together take 6 days to complete a task. B and C together take 12 days to complete the same task. A and C together take 8 days to complete it. If A, B and C are working together, how long does it take for them to complete the task?

   A.) 5 days
   B.) 5 (1/2) days
   C.) 3 (1/5)days
   D.) 5 (1/3) days

Answer: Option 'D'

(1/A) + (1/B) = (1/6) 
(1/B) + (1/C) = (1/12)
(1/A) + (1/C) = (1/8) 
Solving the three equations,
(1/A) + (1/B) + (1/C) = (3/16)
Together they take 16/3 = 5(1/3) days to complete the task.

A sum of Rs. 725 is lent in the beginning of a year at a certain rate of interest. After 8 months, a sum of Rs. 362.50 more is lent but at the rate twice the former. At the end of the year, Rs. 33.50 is earned as interest from both the loans. What was the original rate of interest?

   A.) 4.46%
   B.) 3.46%
   C.) 5%
   D.) 6%

Answer: Option 'B'

Let the original rate be R%. 
Then, new rate = (2R)%
Here, original rate is for 1 years;
the rate is for only 4 months
that is 1/3 years
[(725 × r × 1)/100] + [(362.50 × 2r × 1)/100 × 3)] = 33.50
R = 3.46%

Two trains are running in opposite directions in the same speed. The length of each train is 120 meter. if they cross each other in 12 seconds, the speed of each train (in km/hr) is

   A.) 48 km/hr
   B.) 42 km/hr
   C.) 32 km/hr
   D.) 36 km/hr

Answer: Option 'D'

Distance covered = 120 + 120 = 240 m
Time = 12 sec
Let the speed of each train = v. 
Then relative speed = v + v = 2v
2v = distance/time = 240/12 = 20 m/sec
Speed of each train = v 20/2 = 10m/s
= 10 x 36/10 km/hr = 36 km/hr

Simple Interest for 5 years = Rs. [(2205/3) × 5] = Rs. 3675
Principle = Rs.(9800 - 3675) = Rs. 6125
Rate = 12%

Eight people enter a partnership. Six of them bring in Rs.30 each. The seventh brings in Rs. 10 more than the average of all eight and the eighth brings in Rs. 55. What is the total sum brought in?

   A.) 250
   B.) 260
   C.) 280
   D.) 270

Answer: Option 'C'

Amount brought in by the first six persons = 6 * 30 = Rs. 180
Amount brought in by the eighth person = Rs. 55 
Let the amount brought by the seventh person be Rs. x
x = Avg(8 persons) + 10
= (180 + 55 + x)/8 + 10
= (235 + x)/8 + 10
8x = 235 + x + 80
7x = 315
x = 45
Total amount = 235 + 45 = Rs.280

Naresh analysed the monthly salary figures of five vice presidents of his company. All the salary figures are in integer lakhs. The mean and the median salary figures are Rs. 5 lakhs, and the only mode is Rs. 8 lakhs. Which of the options below is the sum of the highest and the lowest salaries?

   A.) Rs. 8 lakhs
   B.) Rs. 9 lakhs
   C.) Rs. 10 lakhs
   D.) Rs. 12 lakhs

Answer: Option 'B'

Mean Average of the values. Median Middle value. 
Mode Value with highest number of occurrences.
Let the salaries of the five vice-presidents in ascending order in lakhs be a, b, c, d and e.
Mean = 5 (a + b + c + d + e)/5 = 5 lakhs
a + b + c + d + e = 25 lakhs
Median = 5 lakhs c is the middle value.
c = 5
Mode = 8 lakhs 
8 should be the salary of more than 1 VP.
Only d and e are greater than 5.
So, d = e = 8 lakhs
Two possible values, a = 1, b = 3, a = 2, b = 2
Both a and b can't be 2 since there is only one mode(8).
So, a = 1, b = 3 Sum of highest and lowest = a + e = 1 + 8 = Rs. Rs. 9 lakhs

   A.) 28.89 days
   B.) 29.98 days
   C.) 28.33 days

Hours per day and number of days are inversely proportinal.
17 men working x hours per day --> 24 days
18 men working (4x/5) hours per day = 24 × (17/18) × (x/(4x/5)) 
24 × (17/18) × (5/4) = 28.33 days
