A family has a man, his wife, their four sons, and their wives. The family of every son also has 3 sons and one daughter. Find out the total number of male members in the whole family.1. 52. 103. 164. 17

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 17

From the given information above,

Total number of male members in the first generation = The man + His four sons = 1 + 4 = 5

Total number of sonthat each son of the man have = 4× 3 = 12

So, total number of male members in the whole family = 12 + 5 = 17

Hence, 17is the correct answer.

If 'P' means 'subtracted from', 'X' means 'multiplied by', 'Y' means 'added to', and 'Z' means 'Divided by', then:54 Z 3 Y 22 X 5 = ?1. 1352. 1283. 1104. 144

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 128

Given,

'P' means 'subtracted from',

'X' means 'multiplied by',

'Y' means 'added to', and

'Z' means 'Divided by'

54 Z 3 Y 22 X 5 = ?

∴54 ÷3 + 22 ×5 = 18 + 110 = 128

Hence, the correct answer is 128.

Identify the number which when added to itself 14 times gives 195.1. 162. 153. 144. 13

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 13

Let the number be x.

x is added to itself 14 times = 15x

Given,

15x = 195

x = 195/15

x = 13.

Hence, the correct answer is "13".

4.

Which of the four interchanges in signs and numbers would make the below equation correct?4 × 6 - 2 = 141. - and÷, 2 and 62. × and +, 4 and 63. × and÷, 2 and 44. - and +, 2 and 6

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : - and +, 2 and 6

Given,

4 × 6 - 2 = 14

1)- and÷, 2 and 6→4 × 2÷6≠14 (Means - is replaced by÷, and 2 and 6 are interchanges)

2)× and +, 4 and 6→ 6+4- 2 ≠14 (Means× is replaced by +, and 4 and 6 are interchanges)

3)× and÷, 2 and 4→2÷6 - 4≠14 (Means× is replaced by÷, and 2 and 4 are interchanges)

4)- and +, 2 and 6 → 4 × 2+6= 14 (Means - is replaced by +, and 2 and 6 are interchanges)

Hence, the correct answet is- and +, 2 and 6.

5.

Ana is a girl and has the same number of brothers as sisters. Andrew is a boy and has twice as many sisters as brothers. Ana and Andrew are the children of Emma. How many children does Emma have?1. 22. 33. 54. 7

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 7

Given:

Let boys = B and girl = G

Therefore, Emma has = G + B children

Ana is a girl and has the same number of brothers as sisters.

Therefore,excluding Ana,

G - 1 = B ........(1)

Andrew is a boy and has twice as many sisters as brothers.

Therefore, excluding Andrew,

2(B -1) = G

2B - 2 = G.........(2)

By equation (1) and (2)

B = 3 and G = 4

Hence, the number of children Emma have is 7.

If 30 + 40 = 152036 + 28 = 181440 + 20 = 2010Then 50 + 22 = ?1. 11252. 11263. 25114. 2250

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 2511

The logic followed here is :

In each equation, first and second number are divided by 2 and the resultants are concatenated.

30 + 40 = 1520

30÷ 2 = 15; 40÷ 2 = 20; Therefore, 1520

36 + 28 = 1814

36÷ 2 = 18; 28÷ 2 = 14; Therefore, 1814

40 + 20 = 2010

40÷ 2 = 20; 20÷ 2 = 10; Therefore, 2010

50 + 22 =

50÷ 2 = 25; 22÷ 2 = 11; Therefore, 2511

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.

The train for Patna leaves every two and a half hours from New Delhi Railway Station, An announcement was made at the station that the train for Patna had left 40 minutes ago and the next train will leave 18.00 hrs. At what time was the announcement made?1. 16.10 hrs.2. 17.15 hrs.3. 15.30 hrs4. 15.15 hrs.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 16.10 hrs.

According to the given information,

The time of departure of next train = 18:00 hrs

As given the train for Patna leaves every two and a half hours from New Delhi Railway Station.

Thus time of departure of previous train = (18:00 - 2:30) hrs = 15:30 hrs

As theannouncement was made at the station that the train for Patna had left 40 minutes ago means: (15:30 + 00:40) = 16:10 hrs

Hence, the correct answer is "16:10 hrs".

A train travels at a certain average speed for a distance of 63 km and then travels a distance of 72 km at an average speed of 6 km/hr more than its original speed. If it takes 3 hours to complete the total journey, what is the original speed of the train in km/hr?1. 602. 543. 424. 36

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 3 : 42

Given:

A train travels at a certain average speed for a distance of 63 km

Then travels a distance of 72 km at an average speed of 6 km/hr. more than its original speed.

It takes 3 hours to complete the total journey

Total distance:63 + 72 = 135 km

Total time = 3 hr.

Speed = Distance/Time

Using formula;

Speed is equal to 45 km/hr.

The Sum of time for completing 63 km and 72 km must be equal to 3 hr. or 180 min

Now, using the option

1)

60 km/h

Time for 63 km:63/60 = 1.05 hr.

Time for 72km: 72/66= 1.09hr

Not equal to 3 hr.

2)

54 km/hr

Time for 63 km:63/54= 1.16hr.

Time for 72km: 72/60= 1.2hr

Not equal to 3 hr.

3)

42 km/hr.

Time for 63 km:63/42= 1.5hr.

Time for 72km: 72/48= 1.5hr

Equal to 3 hr.

Hence, Original speed is 42 km/hr.

Train A runs at the speed of 80 km/h and it leaves from station X at 6:00 o'clock. Train B departs from the same station at 6:15 o'clock. At what speed should train B run so as to reach together with Train A on the next station located at a distance of 100 km?1. 100 km/h2. 90 km/h3. 95 km/h4. 110 km/h

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 100 km/h

Speed of train A = 80 km/h

Time is taken by train A = t hr

Time is taken by train B = (t - 15/60) hr

Distance = 100 km

Let Speed of Train B = Skm/h

According to ques;

Distance covered by train A = Speed× time

100 = 80× t

t = 5/4 hr

Similarly

Distance covered by train B = Speed× time

100 = S× (t - 15/60)

put t = 5/4 hr

100 = S× (5/4 - 15/60)

100 = S× 1

S = 100 km/h

Hence, Speed of train B is 100 km/h.

Mr. Kumar drives to work at an average speed of 48 km per hour. The time taken to cover the first 60% of the distance is 10 minutes more than the time taken to cover the remaining distance. How far is his office?1. 30 Km2. 40 Km3. 48 Km4. 56 Km

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 40 Km

Given:

Mr. Kumar drives to work at an average speed of 48 km per hour

The time taken to cover the first 60% of the distance is 10 minutes more than the time taken to cover the remaining distance.

Concept used:

When the speed Is constant then the ratio of Distance and Time is directly proportional

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

The ratio of Time is

⇒ 60x : 40x = 3x : 2x

According to the questions

⇒ 3x - 2x = 10 mins

⇒ x = 10 minx

Tota time = 5x = 50 mins

⇒ Distance = 48 × (50/60)

⇒ Distance = 40 km.

∴ Mr. Kumar office is 40 km away.

The distance between Surat and Ahmedabad is 280 km. Satish starts from Surat at 6:00 a.m. and drives in his car towards Ahmedabad at a constant speed of 50 km/h. After two hours, he increases his speed to 60 km/h and maintains the speed till he reaches Ahmedabad. At what time will he reach Ahmedabad?1. 11:00 a.m.2. 10:00a.m.3. 10:30a.m.4. 11:30a.m.

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 11:00 a.m.

Formula:

Speed =Distance/Time

Calculation:

From 6 am, He drives for 2 hourswith a constant speed of 50km/h,

So distance covered = speed × time =50 × 2 =100km.

The time is now8 am, He increases his speed and drives with a speed of 60km/h to cover the remaining distance(280 - 100) = 180km

So time taken = distance/speed = 180/60= 3 hour.

Initially, drives for2 hours then again for 3 hours,

Total 5 hours, from 6:a.m.

Thereforeat 11 am he will reach Ahmedabad.

Hence,11 a.m.is the correct answer.

If '-' means multiplication, '×' means addition, '÷' means subtraction and '+' mean 'division', then which of the following equations is correct?1. 8 - 3÷ 16× 36 + 6 = 142. 8 + 3÷ 16× 36 - 6 = 143. 8÷ 3 - 16 + 36× 6 = 144. 8× 3÷ 16 + 36 - 6 = 14

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 8 - 3÷ 16× 36 + 6 = 14

Symbol

-

×

÷

+

Meaning

×

+

-

÷

1) 8 - 3÷ 16× 36 + 6 = 14

After changing the symbol by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 8 × 3- 16+ 36 ÷ 6

= 24 – 16 + 6

= 30 – 16

= 14 = R.H.S

2) 8 + 3÷ 16× 36 - 6 = 14

After changing the symbol by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 8 ÷ 3- 16+ 36 × 6

= 2.67 – 16 + 216

= 218.27 – 16

= 202.27 ≠ R.H.S

3) 8÷ 3 - 16 + 36× 6 = 14

After changing the symbol by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 8- 3 × 16 ÷ 36+ 6

= 8 – 1.34 + 6

= 14 – 1.34

= 12.66 ≠ R.H.S

4) 8× 3÷ 16 + 36 - 6 = 14

After changing the symbol by their meaning, we get:

L.H.S = 8+ 3- 16 ÷ 36 × 6

= 8 + 3 – 2.64

= 11 – 2.64

= 8.36 ≠ R.H.S

Hence, ‘8 - 3÷ 16× 36 + 6 = 14’ is the correct answer.
