A boys rows to a certain place and comes back, but by mistake he covers 2/3rd more distance while coming back. The total time for this journey is 20 hours. The ratio of speed of boat to that of stream is 2 : 1. If the difference between upstream and downstream speed is 24km/hr, then how much time will the man take to reach to starting point from his present position? A) 2hr 13mints B)1hr 30 mins C) 2hr 30mins D)1hr 40 mins

Last answer: ANSWER : A Explanation: let speed of boat and stream be 2x and x respectively So downstream speed = 2x+x = 3x, and upstream speed = 2x-x = x Let total distance between points is d km So he covered d ... with speed 3x = 48 km/hr(downstream) So time is 80/36 * 60 = 133.33 minutes = 2hr 13mins

Two taps P and Q can separately fill a tank in 120mins and 150 mins respectively. There is a 3rd tap in the bottom of the tank to empty it. If all of the 3 taps are simultaneously opened, then the tank is full in 100 mins. In how much time the 3rd pipe alone can empty the tank? A) 100 B) 200 C) 300 D) 400

Last answer: B Work done by the 3 tap in 1 min = 1/100 – ( 1/120 + 1/150) = 1/100 – (5+4/600) =1/100 – 9/600 =6-9/600 = - 3/600 = - 1/200(negative signs mean empting) Therefore the 3rd tap alone can empty the tank in 200 mins

A school has 4 sections of class 12, such that half the number of students of 1st section, 1/3rd of 2nd section, 1/4th of 3rd section and 1/5th of the 4th section are equal. If total number of students in class 12 is 420, find the number of students in sections 1st and 2nd. A) 180 B) 120 C) 240 D) 150 E) 260

Last answer: Answer: D Let number of students in 4 sections be A, B, C, D respectively. Then 1/2 of A = 1/3 of b = 1/4 of C = 1/5 of D So A : B : C : D = 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 [When A/2 = B/3 = C/4, then ratio A: B : C = 2 : 3 : 4] So students in 1st and 2nd section = [(2+3)/(2+3+4+5)] * 420 = 150
