1) If one-seventh of a number exceeds its eleventh part by 100 then the number is…
Options:
(i) 770 
(ii) 1100 
(iii) 1825
(iv) 1925
Answer: (iv) 1925
Solution:  Let the number be x. Then X/7 - x/11 =100 11x-7x = 7700 x=1925.
2) The ratio of Rita's age to her mother's age is 3:8. The difference of their ages is
35 years. The ratio of their ages after 4 years will be:
Options:
(i) 7:12 
(ii) 5:12 
(iii) 38:43 
(iv) 42:47 
Answer: (ii) 5:12 
Solution:
Let their ages be 3x and 8x
8x - 3x =35
x =7
Their present ages are 21 and 56 years.
Ratio of their ages after 4 years are 25:60 = 5:12
3) A tap can fill the tank in 15 minutes and another can empty it in 8 minutes. If the tank
is already half full and both the taps are opened together, the tank will be:
Options:
(i) filled  in  12 min 
(iii) emptied in 12  min
(iv) filled  in  8 min  Questions/Articles Extracted From www.CareersValley.com
Page 50
(v) emptied in 8 min 
Answer: 8 minutes
Solution:
Rate  of  waste pipe  being  more the  tank  will  be emptied  when  both taps  are 
opened.
Net emptying work done in 1min = (1/8 -1/16) = 1/16
So full tank will be emptied in 16 min
Half tank will be emptied in 8 minutes.
4) A man can row 5 kmph in still water. If the river is running at 1kmph, it takes him
75 minutes to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
Options:
(i) 3km 
(ii) 2.5 km 
(iii) 4 km 
(iv) 5 km 
Answer: 3 Km
Solution:
Speed downstream = (5+1)km/hr = 6 km/hr Speed upstream = (5-1)km/hr = 4 km/hr
Let the required distance be x km x/6 + x/4 = 75/60 2x+3x = 15 x = 3km
5) If log 0.317=0.3332 and  log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319?
Options:
(i)0.3396
(ii)0.3369
(iii)0.3368
(iv)0.3338
Answer:  0.3396
Solution: log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, 
then log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396Questions/Articles Extracted From www.CareersValley.com

9) It was vacation time, and so I decided to visit my cousin's home. What a grand time
we had! In the mornings, we both would go for a jog. The evenings were spent on the
tennis court. Tiring as these activities were, we could manage only one per day, i.e.,
either we went for a jog or played tennis each day. There were days when we felt lazy
and stayed home all day long. Now, there were 12 mornings when we did nothing, 18
evenings when we stayed at home, and a total of 14 days when we jogged or played
tennis. For how many days did I stay at my cousin's place?

10) How many even integers n, where, are divisible neither by seven nor by nine? 
Solution: 
There are 101 integers in  all, of which 51 are even. From 100 to 200, there are 14
multiples of 7, of which 7 are even.  There are 11 multiples of  9, of which 6 are even.
But there is one integer (i.e. 126) that is a multiple of both 7 and 9 and also even. Hence
the answer is (51 – 7 – 6 + 1) = 39

13) Grass in lawn grows equally thick and in a uniform rate. It takes 40 days for 40
cows and 60 days for 30 cows to eat the whole of the grass. How many days does it
take for 20 cows to do the same?
ANSWER:
g - grass at the beginning
r - rate at which grass grows, per day
y - rate at which one cow eats grass, per day
 n - no of cows to eat the grass in 96 days
g + 40*r = 40 * 40 * y------- 1 
g + 60*r = 30 * 60 * y------- 2
 g + n*r = 20 * n * y-------- 3 
from 1 and 2

14) Lucia is a wonderful grandmother. Her age is between 50 and 70.Each of her sons
has as many sons as they have brothers. Their combined number gives Lucia’s age.
What is the age?
ANSWER
Let the no. of Lucia’s sons = n 
No. of brothers for each son = n-1
No. of sons for each of  Lucia’s son = n-1
Lucia’s age   = n-1 * n-1
= a perfect square between 50 and 70 
= 64

Options:
(i) 770 
(ii) 1100 
(iii) 1825
(iv) 1925
Answer: (iv) 1925
Solution:  Let the number be x. Then X/7 - x/11 =100 11x-7x = 7700 x=1925.
2) The ratio of Rita's age to her mother's age is 3:8. The difference of their ages is
35 years. The ratio of their ages after 4 years will be:
Options:
(i) 7:12 
(ii) 5:12 
(iii) 38:43 
(iv) 42:47 
Answer: (ii) 5:12 
Solution:
Let their ages be 3x and 8x
8x - 3x =35
x =7
Their present ages are 21 and 56 years.
Ratio of their ages after 4 years are 25:60 = 5:12
3) A tap can fill the tank in 15 minutes and another can empty it in 8 minutes. If the tank
is already half full and both the taps are opened together, the tank will be:
Options:
(i) filled  in  12 min 
(iii) emptied in 12  min
(iv) filled  in  8 min  Questions/Articles Extracted From www.CareersValley.com
Page 50
(v) emptied in 8 min 
Answer: 8 minutes
Solution:
Rate  of  waste pipe  being  more the  tank  will  be emptied  when  both taps  are 
opened.
Net emptying work done in 1min = (1/8 -1/16) = 1/16
So full tank will be emptied in 16 min
Half tank will be emptied in 8 minutes.
4) A man can row 5 kmph in still water. If the river is running at 1kmph, it takes him
75 minutes to row to a place and back. How far is the place?
Options:
(i) 3km 
(ii) 2.5 km 
(iii) 4 km 
(iv) 5 km 
Answer: 3 Km
Solution:
Speed downstream = (5+1)km/hr = 6 km/hr Speed upstream = (5-1)km/hr = 4 km/hr
Let the required distance be x km x/6 + x/4 = 75/60 2x+3x = 15 x = 3km
5) If log 0.317=0.3332 and  log 0.318=0.3364 then find log 0.319?
Options:
(i)0.3396
(ii)0.3369
(iii)0.3368
(iv)0.3338
Answer:  0.3396
Solution: log 0.317=0.3332 and log 0.318=0.3364, 
then log 0.319=log0.318+(log(0.318-0.317)) = 0.3396Questions/Articles Extracted From www.CareersValley.com

6) In a hotel, rooms are numbered from 101 to 550. A room is chosen at random.
What is the probability that room number starts with 1, 2 or 3 and ends with 4, 5 or 6? 
Answer 
There are total 450 rooms. 
Out of which 299 room number starts with either 1, 2 or 3. (as room number
100 is not there) Now out of those 299 rooms only 90 room numbers end with
4, 5 or 6.So the probability is 90/450 i.e. 1/5 or 0.20.
