The value of g on the moon is 6 th of the value of g on the earth. If a man can jump 1.5 m high on the earth, on the moon, he can jump
up to a height of:
A 4.5 m
B 9m
C 6m
D 7.5 m
Answer: B
Explanation:
We have
1
g moon= 6 of g earth
10
g moon= 6
On the earth
m
g=10 s2 . H=1.5 m
We know that.
v=2 gh
v=2 101.5
v=$$30\sqrt$$
And v=u.
So u= $$30\sqrt\frac{m}{sec}$$
h= $$\frac{u^2}{gh}$$
h= $$\frac{30\times 6}{20}$$
h=9m

Question 7
Vishnu spends ₹ 5000 in buying 12 tables and some chairs. The cost of one table is ₹ 50 and that of one chair is ₹ 40. What is the
ratio of the numbers of the chairs to the number of tables purchased?
A 5:2
B 55 : 6
C 5:1
D 55 : 4
Answer: B
Explanation:
Cost of 12 tables= $$12\times 50$$ = Rs.600 (cost of 1 table= Rs.50 )
In Rs. 40 =1 chair
Ratio of the number of the tables to the numbers of chairs purchased= 12:110 = 6:55
Pipe A can empty filled tank in 28 hours while Pipe B can fill the same tank, when
empty, in 35 hours. If alternately Pipes A and B are turned on for an hour each time, starting when the tank is full, how long will it take
to empty the tank?
B 271 hours
C 275 hours
D 280 hours
Answer: B
Explanation:
LCM(28, 35) = 140 litres is the total capacity of tank.
A’s 1 hour work and B's next hour( 2nd hour) work,
i.e, ($$\frac{-1}{28}$$)+($$\frac{1}{35}$$)
=$$\frac{-1}{140}$$
For emptying of 135 liters takes time 2x135 = 270 hours and remaining 5liters emptied in 1hour by pipe A

same as 5 times the age of Preeti. What is the current sum of their ages?
A 105 years
B 110 years
C 115 years
D 112 years

Question 34
A 97
B 96
C 94
D 73
Answer: D
Explanation:
$$ \sqrt{5329} = 73$$
or, if we divide the number into 2 parts 53 and 29, we can say that the unit place of the number will be either 7 or 3.
so if we check the nearest square of a number which is less than 53 is 49 i.e the tenth's place will be 7. And as we know that 75 2 =5625
so it will be 73.
So option D is correct.
Find the smallest square number from amongthe given option whichis divisible by each
of 8, 15 and 20.
A 3600
B 6400
C 14400
D 4900
Answer: A
Explanation:
LCM of 8,15, and 20.
$$8=2\times2\times2$$
$$15=3\times 5$$
$$20=2\times2\times 5$$
LCM = $$2\times2\times2\times3\times5=120$$
2, 3, 5 are not in pairs, So we need to make them in pairs for smallest square number.
$$120\times2\times3\times5=120\times30=3600 $$
Option A is correct.

Let total amount given to Samit initially for the travel be x
He was scheduled to stay for 6 days but ended up staying 10 days for which his average daily travel allowance went down by ₹ 56.
$$\frac{10x - 6x }{ 60}$$ = 56
$$\frac{10x - 6x }{ 60}$$ = 56
$$\frac{4x }{ 60}$$ = 56
x = 840

Two numbers are in the ratio of 15 : 11. If their H.C.F is 13. Find the numbers.
A 195, 143
B 196, 143
C 195, 141
D 195, 142
Answer: A
The HCF is 13, which means each of the two numbers will have 13 as the only common factor between them.
Therefore the numbers are $$15\times13$$ and $$11\times13$$ = 195 and 143.
Option A is correct
Question 47
Consider the given question and decide which of the following statements is sufficient to answer the question.
How many cows in a herd are black?
Statements:
1. There are in total 60 cows.
2. 40% of them are black.
A Both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
B Statement 1 alone is sufficient but statement 2 alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
C Statements 1 and 2 together are not sufficient, and additional data is needed to answer the question.
D Statement 2 alone is sufficient but statement 1 alone is not sufficient to answer the question.
Answer: A
Explanation:
a. Total number of cows = 60
The statements above alone cannot identify the number of cows which are black. So using both the statements together we get,
= 0.4$$\times$$60 = 24
Both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient.
So option A is correct.

A train crosses a 375 m long platform in 27 seconds. How long was the train if it was travelling at the speed of 70 km/hr?
A 525 m
B 140 m
D 150 m
Answer: D
Explanation:
Let x be the length of the train. The train was travelling at a speed of 70 km/h.
In order to cross the platform the train has to cover the length of the platform along with its own length.
$$\frac{375+x}{19.444}$$ = 27
$$375+x = 524.9 $$
x = 150 m
So option D is correct.

Question 63
The length of one side of a rhombus is 13 cm and one of the diagonals is 10 cm. What is the length of the other diagonal?
A 24 cm
B 23 cm
C 25 cm
D 22 cm
Answer: A
Explanation:
Diagonals of a rombus bisect eachother at 90°
One side rhombus = 13 cm
length of one diagonal = 10 cm
We will apply here Pythagoras Theorem
(h²) = (b²) + (p²)
on putting the values in the equation and then solving it we get,
13² = b² + 5²
169 = b² + 25
b² = 169 -25
b² = 144
(Take Square root on both sides)
b= 12
As perpendicular(p)= 12cm
therefore diagonal = 2 p= 2$$\times$$12 = 24 cm

Question 69
Rathin is now 16 years old while his cousin is 7 years. After how many years will Rathin’s age be 1.5 times that of his cousin?
A 12
B 11
C 9
D 10
Answer: B
Explanation:
Present age of Rathin = 16 years.
Let x be the number of years after which Rathin's age will be 1.5 times of his cousin's age.
16 + x = 1.5 (7+x)
16 - 10.5 = 1.5x - x
5.5 = 0.5 x
x = $$\frac{5.5}{0.5}$$ = 11
Therefore, after 11 years Rathin's age will be 1.5 times his cousin's age.
