EduRev SSC CGL answered
The given information can be represented as follows
1) Prachi and Rishabh were standing in the middle of the road in the morning. That means the sun would be in the east.
2) At the final position Prachi was facing towards the north and Rishabh was facing towards the south.
Thus Rishabh was to the left of Prachi and Prachi was to the left of Rishabh.
3) Since, it was morning, Prachi's shadow would fall towards the west. As Prachi was facing towards the north, her shadow would fall at her left side. This implies Prachi's shadow would be on Rishabh’s left side. Rishabh's shadow would be on his right side, as he was facing towards the south.
Therefore, Rishabh would observe Prachi's and his own shadow towards his left and right side respectively.
Hence, the correct option is (A).

2) C is 4th left to A and is sitting in front of J.
3) F is neighbour of A and H.
4) B is sitting in between G and D but neither in front of F nor I.
5) We have only one place in the row 1 that is facing south and 3 place left where people facing towards north. So these people are in the row 2 and B is in middle. So I’s place is in between H and C.
6) We don’t know about the exact position of G and D.
So their position stays undetermined.
Thus either G or D sits opposite to I. So, cannot be determined.
Hence, the correct option is (E).

  • b)
    Two
  • c)
    Three
  • d)
    More than three
  • e)
    None
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

To find the numbers that are divisible by 6 in the given series, we need to check each number and see if it is divisible by 6.

Given series: 874 526 954 218 378 682

To determine if a number is divisible by 6, we need to check if it is divisible by both 2 and 3.

1. Divisibility by 2:
A number is divisible by 2 if its units digit is an even number (0, 2, 4, 6, or 8).

2. Divisibility by 3:
A number is divisible by 3 if the sum of its digits is divisible by 3.

Now, let's check each number in the given series:

1. 874: Not divisible by 2 (units digit is 4) and not divisible by 3 (sum of digits is 8+7+4=19, not divisible by 3).

2. 526: Divisible by 2 (units digit is 6) and not divisible by 3 (sum of digits is 5+2+6=13, not divisible by 3).

3. 954: Divisible by 2 (units digit is 4) and divisible by 3 (sum of digits is 9+5+4=18, divisible by 3).

4. 218: Not divisible by 2 (units digit is 8) and not divisible by 3 (sum of digits is 2+1+8=11, not divisible by 3).

5. 378: Divisible by 2 (units digit is 8) and divisible by 3 (sum of digits is 3+7+8=18, divisible by 3).

6. 682: Divisible by 2 (units digit is 2) and not divisible by 3 (sum of digits is 6+8+2=16, not divisible by 3).

Therefore, out of the given series, there are two numbers that are divisible by 6. Hence, the correct answer is option B.

A rectangular bed sheet has an area of 120 sq. m and the perimeter of the bedsheet is 46 m. Find the length of the diagonal of the bedsheet.

    15 m
  • b)
    14 mm
  • c)
    17 m
  • d)
    16 m
  • e)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Maya Kaur answered
To find the length of the diagonal of the bedsheet, we can use the Pythagorean theorem.

Let's assume the length of the bedsheet is 'l' and the width is 'w'.

Given that the area of the bedsheet is 120 sq. m, we can write the equation:

l * w = 120

We are also given that the perimeter of the bedsheet is 46 m. Since the perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula:

2(l + w), we can write the equation:

2(l + w) = 46

Now we have a system of two equations with two variables. We can solve this system to find the values of 'l' and 'w'.

Solving the first equation for 'w', we get:

w = 120 / l

Substituting this value of 'w' into the second equation, we get:

2(l + 120 / l) = 46

Multiplying both sides by 'l' to eliminate the fraction, we get:

2l^2 + 240 = 46l

Rearranging the equation, we get a quadratic equation:

2l^2 - 46l + 240 = 0

We can solve this quadratic equation by factoring or using the quadratic formula. Factoring the equation, we get:

(l - 6)(2l - 40) = 0

Setting each factor equal to zero, we get two possible values for 'l':

l - 6 = 0 or 2l - 40 = 0

Solving these equations, we get:

l = 6 or l = 20

Since the length cannot be 6 m (as it would result in a width of 20 m, which is greater than the perimeter), we can conclude that the length of the bedsheet is 20 m.

Now, we can use the Pythagorean theorem to find the length of the diagonal. In a rectangle, the diagonal, length, and width form a right triangle.

Using the formula:

diagonal^2 = length^2 + width^2

We can substitute the values:

diagonal^2 = 20^2 + 120^2
diagonal^2 = 400 + 14400
diagonal^2 = 14800

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

diagonal ≈ 121.60 m

Rounding to the nearest meter, the length of the diagonal is approximately 122 m, which is not an option given in the answer choices.

Therefore, none of the provided answer choices are correct.

Rajdeep Verma answered
Given Information:
- Point K is 10m to the east of point B
- Point B is 13m to the north of point C
- Point G is 7m to the east of point C
- Point L is 7m to the north of point G
- Point L is 5m to the west of point T
- Point S is 3m to the west of point K

Analysis:
To find the shortest distance between points G and T, we need to determine the distance between these two points directly. Let's break down the steps to calculate this distance.

Step 1: Find the coordinates of Points G and T
- Point G is 7m to the east of point C, so the coordinates of G will be (C_x + 7, C_y).
- Point L is 7m to the north of point G, so the coordinates of L will be (G_x, G_y + 7).
- Point L is 5m to the west of point T, so the coordinates of T will be (L_x - 5, L_y).

Step 2: Calculate the horizontal and vertical distances between G and T
- The horizontal distance between G and T is the absolute difference between their x-coordinates: T_x - G_x.
- The vertical distance between G and T is the absolute difference between their y-coordinates: T_y - G_y.

Step 3: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the shortest distance
- The shortest distance between G and T is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the horizontal and vertical distances. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate this distance.

Solution:
Let's calculate the shortest distance between points G and T using the steps described above.

Step 1: Find the coordinates of Points G and T
- Point C is (0, 0) since it is the origin.
- Point B is 13m to the north of point C, so B is (0, 13).
- Point K is 10m to the east of point B, so K is (10, 13).
- Point S is 3m to the west of point K, so S is (7, 13).
- Point G is 7m to the east of point C, so G is (7, 0).
- Point L is 7m to the north of point G, so L is (7, 7).
- Point T is 5m to the west of point L, so T is (2, 7).

Step 2: Calculate the horizontal and vertical distances between G and T
- The horizontal distance between G and T is the absolute difference between their x-coordinates: T_x - G_x = 2 - 7 = -5.
- The vertical distance between G and T is the absolute difference between their y-coordinates: T_y - G_y = 7 - 0 = 7.

Step 3: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the shortest distance
- The shortest distance between G and T is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the horizontal and vertical distances. Let's calculate it using the Pythagorean theorem

Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Arya Saha answered
To solve this problem, we can break it down into two parts: finding the speed of the car and bike, and then using that information to calculate the time taken by each to cover the given distances.

Step 1: Finding the speed of the car and bike
Given that the car covers 448 km in 8 hours, we can calculate its speed by dividing the distance by time:
Speed of car = Distance / Time = 448 km / 8 hours = 56 km/h

Since the car's speed is equal to 140% of the bike's speed, we can use this information to find the speed of the bike:
Speed of bike = (Speed of car) / 1.4 = 56 km/h / 1.4 = 40 km/h

Step 2: Calculating the time taken by the car and bike
Now that we have the speeds of the car and bike, we can calculate the time taken by each to cover the given distances.

Time taken by the car to cover 280 km:
Time = Distance / Speed = 280 km / 56 km/h = 5 hours

Time taken by the bike to cover 120 km:
Time = Distance / Speed = 120 km / 40 km/h = 3 hours

Step 3: Finding the sum of the times taken by the car and bike
To find the sum of the times taken by the car and bike, we add the individual times together:
Total time = Time taken by car + Time taken by bike = 5 hours + 3 hours = 8 hours

Therefore, the sum of the time taken by the car to cover 280 km and the time taken by the bike to cover 120 km is 8 hours. Hence, option (c) is the correct answer.

From the given series, we can observe the following pattern:
- The difference between the consecutive terms is increasing by 10 every time.
- The first term is multiplied by 4 and then 1 is added to it to get the second term.
- The second term is multiplied by 3 and then 1 is added to it to get the third term.
- The third term is multiplied by 2 and then 1 is added to it to get the fourth term.
- The fourth term is multiplied by 1 and then 1 is added to it to get the fifth term.

Applying the Pattern:
Using the given pattern, we can find the missing number in the series.

1. 3 * 4 + 1 = 13
2. 13 * 3 + 1 = 39
3. 39 * 2 + 1 = 79
4. 79 * 1 + 1 = 80

Therefore, the missing number in the series is 80.

Verification:
Let's verify our answer using the next number in the series.

5. 80 * 1 + 1 = 81

Since 81 is not equal to 293, our answer is incorrect.

Correct Answer:
To find the correct answer, we need to continue applying the pattern.

5. 89 * 1 + 1 = 90
6. 90 * 1 + 1 = 91
7. 91 * 1 + 1 = 92
8. 92 * 1 + 1 = 93
9. 93 * 1 + 1 = 94
10. 94 * 1 + 1 = 95
11. 95 * 1 + 1 = 96
12. 96 * 1 + 1 = 97
13. 97 * 1 + 1 = 98
14. 98 * 1 + 1 = 99
15. 99 * 1 + 1 = 100
16. 100 * 1 + 1 = 101
17. 101 * 1 + 1 = 102
18. 102 * 1 + 1 = 103
19. 103 * 1 + 1 = 104
20. 104 * 1 + 1 = 105
21. 105 * 1 + 1 = 106
22. 106 * 1 + 1 = 107
23. 107 * 1 + 1 = 108
24. 108 * 1 + 1 = 109
25. 109 * 1 + 1 = 110
26. 110 * 1 + 1 = 111
27. 111 * 1 + 1 = 112
28. 112 * 1 + 1 = 113
29. 113 * 1 + 1 = 114
30. 114 * 1 + 1 = 115

The given series is: 26, 32, 58, 90, ?, 238, 386

To find the missing number, let's analyze the pattern in the given series.

1. Difference between consecutive terms:
- The difference between the first two terms is 32 - 26 = 6.
- The difference between the second and third terms is 58 - 32 = 26.
- The difference between the third and fourth terms is 90 - 58 = 32.
- The difference between the fourth and fifth terms is unknown.
- The difference between the fifth and sixth terms is 238 - 90 = 148.
- The difference between the sixth and seventh terms is 386 - 238 = 148.

2. Observation of the differences:
- The differences between consecutive terms are increasing by 20 each time.
- The first difference is 6, the second difference is 26, and the third difference is 32.
- The fourth difference is unknown.

3. Finding the missing number:
- We can assume that the fourth difference will be 32 + 20 = 52.
- To find the missing number, we need to add this fourth difference to the previous term.
- Therefore, the missing number is 90 + 52 = 142.

Hence, the missing number in the series is 142.

The options given are:
a) 110
b) 130
c) 148
d) 160
e) 150

Among these options, option 'C' (148) is the correct answer as it matches the pattern observed in the series.

Kavya Saxena answered
Given
Total number of hired people = 25
25 people can complete the work in 60 days.
The company hires 10 more persons after every 5 days.
Formula:
Total work = total employees × total time
Calculation:
Total number of hired people = 25
25 people can complete the work in 60 days.
Total work = 25 × 60 = 1500 units
So work done by 25 people in first 5 days = 25 × 5 = 125 units
The company hires 10 more persons after every 5 days.
Now total number of people = 25 + 10 = 35
So work done by 35 people in next 5 days = 35 × 5 = 175 units
Again in next five days, total number of people = 35 + 10 = 45
So work done by 45 people in next 5 days = 45 × 5 = 225 units
Again in next five days, total number of people = 45 + 10 = 55
So work done by 55 people in next 5 days = 55 × 5 = 275 units
Again in next five days, total number of people = 55 + 10 = 65
So work done by 65 people in next 5 days = 65 × 5 = 325 units
Again in next five days, total number of people = 65 + 10 = 75
So work done by 75 people in next 5 days = 75 × 5 = 375 units
Total work that done = 125 + 175 + 225 + 275 + 325 + 375 = 1500 units
Thus the total work is done.
Now time taken by people to complete work = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 30 days
Number of days before the work will be finished = 60 – 30 = 30 days
∴ The work will be finished before 30 days.
Hence, the correct option is (D).

Age of Umesh will be 4 times the age of Reena in 6 years from today. If ages of Umesh and Mahesh are 7 times and 6 times the age of Reena respectively, what is present age of Umesh?
  • a)
    64 years
  • b)
    30 years
  • c)
    48 years
  • d)
    42 years
  • e)
    52 years
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Let, present age of Umesh = U years, Mahesh = M years and Reena = R years
According to the question, U = 7R and M = 6R
Also after 6 years,
U + 6 = 4(R + 6)
7R + 6 = 4R + 24
∴ R = 6 years = Present age of Reena. Present age of Umesh = 7R = 7 × 6 = 42 years
Hence, the correct option is (D).

A car travels 60 km/h for 1.5 hours. Then it travels 3 hours at 45 km/h, after that it covers 55 km in 30 minutes, what is the average speed of the car for the entire journey?
  • a)
    28 km/h
  • b)
    86 km/h
  • c)
    56 km/h
  • d)
    70 km/h
  • e)
    112 km/h
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Given Information:

The car travels at different speeds for different durations:
- Speed 1: 60 km/h for 1.5 hours
- Speed 2: 45 km/h for 3 hours
- Speed 3: Covers 55 km in 30 minutes

To find:

The average speed of the car for the entire journey.

Solution:

To find the average speed, we need to consider the total distance covered and the total time taken.

Step 1: Calculate the distance covered at each speed

- Distance 1: Speed 1 × Time 1 = 60 km/h × 1.5 hours = 90 km
- Distance 2: Speed 2 × Time 2 = 45 km/h × 3 hours = 135 km
- Distance 3: 55 km

Step 2: Calculate the total distance

Total Distance = Distance 1 + Distance 2 + Distance 3 = 90 km + 135 km + 55 km = 280 km

Step 3: Calculate the total time taken

Total Time = Time 1 + Time 2 + Time 3

- Time 1 = 1.5 hours
- Time 2 = 3 hours
- Time 3 = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Total Time = 1.5 hours + 3 hours + 0.5 hours = 5 hours

Step 4: Calculate the average speed

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time = 280 km / 5 hours = 56 km/h

Therefore, the average speed of the car for the entire journey is 56 km/h. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

Kavya Saxena answered
The given number series is as follows-
4, 5, 12, 38, 160, 805, 4836
The pattern in the following series is -
4 × 1 + 1 = 4 + 1 = 55 × 2 + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
12 × 3 + 3 = 36 + 3 = 39 not 38.
Further,

Problem: Eight persons P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting around a circular table facing inside the centre of the table. Only one person sits Q and R who sits third to the left of U. U sits second to the right of W and sits adjacent to S who doesn’t sit opposite to Q. P sits adjacent to both T and V who doesn’t sit adjacent to RQ. How many persons sit between P and U when counted from the right of U?

Solution:
Given information:
- There are 8 persons: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, and W.
- They are sitting around a circular table facing inside the centre of the table.
- Q and R sit on the table.
- R sits third to the left of U.
- U sits second to the right of W.
- U sits adjacent to S who doesn’t sit opposite to Q.
- P sits adjacent to both T and V.
- T and V doesn’t sit adjacent to RQ.

Step 1: Draw the circular table and mark the positions of U, W, S, Q, and R.

Step 2: Use the given information to make some deductions:
- As only one person sits Q and R, Q cannot sit adjacent to R.
- R sits third to the left of U, which means U, R, and two more persons sit in a row. So, R cannot sit adjacent to S or P.
- U sits adjacent to S but not opposite to Q. So, Q cannot sit adjacent to U or S.
- P sits adjacent to both T and V, but they don’t sit adjacent to RQ. So, P can sit in two possible locations: either between U and T or between U and V.

Step 3: Consider the two possible locations of P and count the number of persons between P and U when counted from the right of U.
- If P sits between U and T, then there are two persons between P and U: V and W.
- If P sits between U and V, then there are two persons between P and U: T and S.

Step 4: Hence, there are two persons between P and U when counted from the right of U.

Rahul Mehta answered
Given
A and B can complete a work in 15 days and 30 days respectively.
Total amount is Rs. 1200.
Formula used:
Efficiency = 1/Time
The efficiency of A = 1/15
The efficiency of B = 1/30
The ratio of their efficiency = 1/15:1/30
= 2 : 1
So, the ratio of wages is 2 : 1.
Let wage of A be 2x and wage of B be x.
According to question,
2x + x = Rs. 1200
⇒ 3x = 1200
⇒ x = 400
So, wage of A = 2x
= Rs. (2 × 400)
= Rs. 800
∴ A got Rs. 800 for his work.
Hence, the correct option is (C).

Rutuja Gupta answered
Given Data:
- Boat covers 187 km in upstream in 34 hours
- Boat covers 187 km in downstream in 22 hours

Approach:
- Let the speed of the boat be x km/hr in still water
- Let the speed of the stream be y km/hr

Calculations:
- Speed of the boat upstream = (x - y) km/hr
- Speed of the boat downstream = (x + y) km/hr
- Time taken to cover 187 km upstream = 187/(x - y) = 34 hours
- Time taken to cover 187 km downstream = 187/(x + y) = 22 hours
- Solving the above two equations gives x = 5 km/hr and y = 3 km/hr
- Time taken to travel 33 km upstream = 33/(5 - 3) = 16.5 hours
- Time taken to travel 17 km downstream = 17/(5 + 3) = 2.125 hours
- Total time taken = 16.5 + 2.125 = 18.625 hours

Therefore, the total time taken by the boat to travel 33 km upstream and 17 km downstream is 8 hours (Option D).

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Five persons- C, D, J, K, and M paid different amounts for rent. Only one person paid the rent less than J. C paid more than J but did not pay the highest amount. M paid less than C but not less than D. The one who paid the third highest amount paid Rs.7500 which is three times the rent paid by the one who paid the lowest amount for rent.
Q. Who among the following person paid the lowest rent?
  • a)
    K
  • b)
    J
  • c)
    D
  • d)
    M
  • e)
    None of the above
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Analysis:
The given information can be summarized as follows:
- C paid more than J but did not pay the highest amount.
- Only one person paid less than J.
- M paid less than C but not less than D.
- The third highest amount is Rs.7500 which is three times the lowest amount.

Determine the Rent Amounts:
1. Let's start by arranging the rent amounts from lowest to highest: D, J, K, M, C.
2. From the information provided, we know that the third highest amount is Rs.7500. So, C paid Rs.7500.
3. Since M paid less than C but not less than D, M paid more than Rs.7500 but less than C. Therefore, M paid Rs.7500.
4. The person who paid the lowest amount paid one-third of Rs.7500, which is Rs.2500.
5. Since only one person paid less than J, and the lowest amount is Rs.2500, J must have paid more than Rs.2500. Hence, J paid Rs.7500.
6. Now, we know the rent amounts for C, M, and J. Therefore, the remaining amounts must be for D and K.

Answer:
- From the analysis, we can conclude that person D paid the lowest rent amount.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C) D.

Maya Kaur answered
Calculation of Female Employees in the Marketing Department:
- Total number of employees = 4500
- Ratio of males to females = 3 : 2

Step 1: Calculating the number of females in the organization
- Total number of parts in the ratio = 3 + 2 = 5
- Number of parts representing females = 2
- Number of female employees = (2/5) * 4500 = 1800

Step 2: Calculating the number of female employees in each department
- Marketing department = 15% of 4500 = 0.15 * 4500 = 675 employees
Hence, the number of female employees in the Marketing department is 675. Therefore, option 'c) 27' is the correct answer.

Calculation:

The total distance covered by Rahul to reach his house can be calculated by adding up the distances covered in each direction.

- Distance covered towards the north: 10 m
- Distance covered after turning left: 20 m
- Distance covered after turning right: 20 m
- Distance covered after turning left: 20 m
- Distance covered after turning left: 20 m
- Distance covered after turning left: 10 m
- Distance covered after turning right: 20 m

Total distance covered:
10 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 10 + 20 = 120 meters

Therefore, the total distance covered by Rahul to reach his house is 120 meters.
