Partho Saini answered
Given Information:
4 women + 5 men = 3(2 women + 1 man)

Let's calculate the work done by each group:

Work done by 4 women and 5 men:
Let the work done by 1 woman in a day be Ww and the work done by 1 man in a day be Wm.
4Ww + 5Wm = 3(2Ww + Wm)
4Ww + 5Wm = 6Ww + 3Wm
5Wm - 3Wm = 6Ww - 4Ww
2Wm = 2Ww
Wm = Ww

Therefore, the work done by a man is equal to the work done by a woman.
This can also be stated as the work ratio of a man to a woman is 1:1.
Therefore, the correct answer is option a) 1:1.

  • a)
    8%
  • b)
    12%
  • c)
    14%
  • d)
    16%
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Simple Interest on Rs 15000
=(15000×6×1)/100 = Rs. 900
Profit to made on Rs 30000
= 30000×10/100=Rs 3000
Simple Interest on Rs.15000 = 3000-900 = Rs.2100
Rate=(S.I.* 100)/(P * T)=(2100×100)/15000
=14% per annum
Therefore, the simple interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to the second friend is 14%

A milkman mixes 6 liters of free tap water with 20litres of pure milk. If the cost of pure milk is Rs.28 per liter the % Profit of the milkman when he sells all the mixture at the cost price is
  • a)
    30%
  • b)
    16(1/3)%
  • c)
    25%
  • d)
    16.5%
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Shivam Verma answered
Calculation:

Step 1: Calculate the cost price of the mixture
- Cost of 6 liters of tap water = 6 liters * Rs.0 = Rs.0
- Cost of 20 liters of pure milk = 20 liters * Rs.28 = Rs.560
- Total cost price of the mixture = Rs.0 + Rs.560 = Rs.560

Step 2: Calculate the selling price of the mixture
- Selling price of the mixture = Cost price of the mixture = Rs.560

Step 3: Calculate the profit made by the milkman
- Profit = Selling price - Cost price = Rs.560 - Rs.560 = Rs.0

Step 4: Calculate the % Profit
- % Profit = (Profit / Cost price) * 100
- % Profit = (0 / 560) * 100
- % Profit = 0%
Therefore, the correct option is 30%.

Eight years ago, Pranathi’s age was equal to the sum of the present ages of her one son and one daughter. Five years hence, the respective ratio between the ages of her daughter and her son that time will be 7:6. If Pranathi’s husband is 7 years elder to her and his present age is three times the present age of their son, what is the present age of the daughter?
  • a)
    19 years
  • b)
    27 years
  • c)
    15 years
  • d)
    23 years
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gowri Basu answered
Given data:
Pranathi's husband is 7 years elder to her
Pranathi's husband's present age = 3 * Son's present age

Let's assume:
Son's present age = x years
Daughter's present age = y years
Pranathi's present age = z years

Calculating Pranathi's husband's present age:
Pranathi's present age = x + y (as 8 years ago, Pranathi's age was equal to the sum of her son and daughter's present ages)
z = x + y
Pranathi's husband's present age = z + 7
Pranathi's husband's present age = (x + y) + 7
Pranathi's husband's present age = (x + y) + 7
Pranathi's husband's present age = x + y + 7
Pranathi's husband's present age = x + y + 7
Pranathi's husband's present age = 3x (as per the given data)
Therefore, 3x = x + y + 7
2x = y + 7
y = 2x - 7

Calculating the daughter's present age:
5 years hence, the ratio of daughter's age to son's age will be 7:6
(y + 5) / (x + 5) = 7 / 6
6(y + 5) = 7(x + 5)
6y + 30 = 7x + 35
6(2x - 7) + 30 = 7x + 35
12x - 42 + 30 = 7x + 35
12x - 12x = 35 - 30 + 42
0 = 47
This equation does not satisfy, so let's recheck the calculations.

144 liters of the mixture contains milk and water in the ratio 5: 7. How much milk needs to be added to this mixture so that the new ratio is 23: 21 respectively?
  • a)
    40 liters
  • b)
    28 liters
  • c)
    32 liters
  • d)
    36 liters
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Given:
Volume of mixture = 144 liters
Initial ratio of milk to water = 5:7
Final ratio of milk to water = 23:21

Solution:

Step 1: Finding the amount of milk and water in the initial mixture
Let the amount of milk in the mixture be 5x liters and the amount of water be 7x liters.
Therefore, 5x + 7x = 144
12x = 144
x = 12
So, the initial amount of milk = 5 * 12 = 60 liters
And the initial amount of water = 7 * 12 = 84 liters

Step 2: Adding milk to the mixture
Let the amount of milk to be added be y liters.
After adding y liters of milk, the total amount of milk becomes 60 + y liters.

Step 3: Finding the new ratio
According to the new ratio,
(60 + y) / 84 = 23 / 21
21(60 + y) = 23 * 84
1260 + 21y = 1932
21y = 672
y = 32
Therefore, 32 liters of milk needs to be added to the mixture so that the new ratio is 23:21.
Therefore, the correct answer is option c) 32 liters.

A certain number of men take 45 days to complete work. If there are 10 men less then they will take 60 days to complete the work. Find the original number of men.
  • a)
    50
  • b)
    60
  • c)
    30
  • d)
    40
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Given Information:
- Let the original number of men be x.
- Time taken by x men to complete the work = 45 days.
- If there are 10 men less, i.e., (x-10) men, then they will take 60 days to complete the work.

Understanding the Problem:
- The rate at which work is completed is inversely proportional to the number of men working on it.
- More men, less time taken; fewer men, more time taken.

Solution Steps:
1. Formulating the Equations:
- Using the concept of work done by men, we can write the equations as:
- x * 45 = (x-10) * 60
2. Solving the Equation:
- Solving the equation:
- 45x = 60x - 600
- 600 = 15x
- x = 40
3. Final Answer:
- Therefore, the original number of men required to complete the work in 45 days is 40 men.
Hence, the correct answer is option 'D' (40).

In a class of 20 students, Shreya is 5 from the top and Annie is 7 ranks below Shreya. Find Annie’s rank from the bottom.
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    5
  • c)
    6
  • d)
    9
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rounak Kapoor answered
Understanding the Problem
We have a class of 20 students, where Shreya holds a rank of 5 from the top. This means there are 4 students ranked above her.

Finding Shreya's Rank
- Shreya’s rank = 5 (from the top)

Calculating Annie's Rank
- Annie is ranked 7 positions below Shreya.
To find Annie’s rank:
- Annie's rank from the top = Shreya's rank + 7
- Annie's rank from the top = 5 + 7 = 12

Finding Annie's Rank from the Bottom
To determine Annie’s rank from the bottom, we can use the total number of students:
- Total students = 20
- Annie's rank from the bottom = Total students - Annie's rank from the top + 1
- Annie's rank from the bottom = 20 - 12 + 1 = 9

Conclusion
Thus, Annie’s rank from the bottom is 9. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Option D: 9

Manoj can do a work in 20 days, while Chandu can do the same work in 25 days. They started the work jointly. A few days later Suresh also joined them and thus all of them completed the whole work in 10 days. All of them were paid total Rs.1000. What is the share of Suresh?
  • a)
    100
  • b)
    300
  • c)
    200
  • d)
    400
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Milan Jain answered
Given Data:
Manoj's efficiency = 1/20
Chandu's efficiency = 1/25
Together they completed the work in 10 days
Total payment = Rs.1000

Calculating Suresh's share:
Let Suresh's efficiency be x (work done by Suresh in 1 day)
Combined efficiency of Manoj, Chandu, and Suresh = 1/20 + 1/25 + x
Given that all three completed the work in 10 days:
(1/20 + 1/25 + x) * 10 = 1
Solving the equation, we get x = 1/50

Calculating Suresh's share of the payment:
Suresh worked for 10 days at an efficiency of 1/50
Therefore, Suresh's total work = 10 * 1/50 = 1/5
Total payment = Rs.1000
Suresh's share = (1/5) / 1 * 1000 = Rs.200
Therefore, the share of Suresh in the total payment of Rs.1000 is Rs.200. Hence, the correct answer is option 'A'.

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?
  • a)
    Win
  • b)
    Compete
  • c)
    Triumph
  • d)
    Victory
  • e)
    Succeed
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajesh Roy answered
Explanation:

Grouping:
- Win, Triumph, Victory, and Succeed are all related to achieving success or coming out on top in a competition or endeavor.
- Compete, on the other hand, is the process of striving against others in a competition, rather than the outcome of winning or succeeding.
Therefore, the odd one out is Compete (option B) as it does not directly relate to the outcome of success or victory.

Rita is sitting 5th from the left end of the row and Sita is 11th to the right of Rita with Tina being 4th to left of Sita. Madhuri is 8th to the right of Tina. What is the total number of students in the row if Madhuri is sitting at the extreme end?
  • a)
    20
  • b)
    28
  • c)
    23
  • d)
    33
  • e)
    12
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Codebreakers answered
Rita is 5th from left, Sita 11th to the right of Rita, so 16th from the left end, Tina is 4th to left of Sita so Tina is 12th from the left end. Now Madhuri is 8th to the right of Tina, this means 20th from left, so 20 students

In a group of 8 boys, 2 men aged at 21 and 23 were replaced, two new boys. Due to this the average cost of the group increased by 2 years. What is the average age of the 2 new boys?
  • a)
    17
  • b)
    30
  • c)
    28
  • d)
    23
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Pk Academy answered
According to the given data
Average of 8 boys increased by 2, this means the total age of boys increased by 8*2 = 16 yrs
So sum of ages of two new boys = 21+23+16 = 60
Average of these = 60/2 = 30
