A 35 sec
B 80 sec
C 60 sec
D 72 sec
A n s w e r : D
Explanation:
Given Speed of surya = 25 km/hr = m/s.
Time taken(T) = Distance Travelled/ Speed
sec
Hence the time taken by Mr. Surya is '72 sec' or '1.2 min'.

Explanation:
The topper of the class is the one who gets a highest overall score. Let us check the options, who has got the overall score.
Option A:
The overall score of Maya = 90 + 50 + 90 + 60 + 70 + 80 = 440 marks
Option B:
The overall score of Arya = 100 + 80 + 88 + 60 + 80 + 70 = 478 marks
Option C:
The overall score of Rupesh = 80 + 55 + 85 + 95 + 50 + 90 = 455 marks
Option D:
The overall score of Riya = 90 + 72 + 70 + 72 + 91 + 70 = 465 marks
So, the topper of the class is Arya, with a overall score of 478 marks.
4. Rajesh can check the quality of 1000 items in 5 hours and Rakesh can complete 75% of the same job in 3 hours. How much
time is required for both of them to check 1300 items, if Rakesh stops checking after 2 hours ?
A 1 hour
B 2 hours
C 4 hours
D 3 hours
A n s w e r : C
Explanation:
Given, Rajesh can check the quality of 1000 items in 5 hours
Efficiency of Rajesh = 200 items/hr.
Also given, Rakesh can complete the 75% of same job in 3 hours
time taken by Rakesh to complete 100% of the job = = 4 hours.
Efficiency of Rakesh = 250 items/hr.
Given in the process of checking 1300 items, Rakesh spends only 2 hours. Let say time spent by Rajesh be 't' hours, which is also the
total time taken.
Total Work = Efficiency time taken
Hence the time taken in the process of checking 1300 items is 4 hours.

A 2/3
B 1/5
C 5/6
D 1/6

Expected number of outcomes = Selecting 3 professors so that at least one of the junior professor is selected.
The possible cases are,
Case(1): Selecting 1 junior professor out of 4 and Selecting 2 senior professor out of 6 = 4C1 * 6C2.
Case(2): Selecting 2 junior professor out of 4 and Selecting 1 senior professor out of 6 = 4C2 * 6C1.

A 1 hour
B 2 hours
C 4 hours
D 3 hours

Also given, Rakesh can complete the 75% of same job in 3 hours
time taken by Rakesh to complete 100% of the job = = 4 hours.
Efficiency of Rakesh = 250 items/hr.
Given in the process of checking 1300 items, Rakesh spends only 2 hours. Let say time spent by Rajesh be 't' hours, which is also the

8. A management institute has 6 senior professors and 4 junior professors, 3 professors are selected at random for a government
project. The probability that at least one of the junior professors would get selected is :
A 2/3
B 1/5
C 5/6
D 1/6

Explanation:
Probability = Expected number of outcomes/ Total number of outcomes.
Total number of outcomes = The number of ways of selecting 3 professors at random from a total of 10 professors.
= 10C3 = 120 ways.
Expected number of outcomes = Selecting 3 professors so that at least one of the junior professor is selected.
The possible cases are,
Case(1): Selecting 1 junior professor out of 4 and Selecting 2 senior professor out of 6 = 4C1 * 6C2.
Case(2): Selecting 2 junior professor out of 4 and Selecting 1 senior professor out of 6 = 4C2 * 6C1.
Case (3): Selecting 3 junior professor out of 4 = 4C3.

for every minute the minute hand covers 6°.
Similarly In one revolution the hour hand covers 12 hours.
12 hours = 360°
1 hour = 30°.
for every hour, the hour hand covers 30°.
So at 5.20 P.M. the hour hand must have covered 5 * 30° = 150° + 20*1/2 = 160
and minute hand must have covered 20 * 6° = 120°.
So the angle created by two hands of the clock when the time is 5.20 P.M. = 160 - 120 = 40°.
