• Work done by A in one day = 1/6.

• Work done by B in one day = 1/8

• Work done by C in one day = 1/3 - (1/6+1/8) = 1/3 -7/24 = (8-7)/24 = 1/24.

A's wage : B's wage : C's wage = 1/6 : 1/8 : 1/24 = 4: 3: 1

Therefore, C's share = (1/8) * 3200 = Rs 400.

Let B's 1 day work =x.

Then , A's 1 day's work=2x

X+2x=1/12

⇒ 3x=1/12

⇒ x=1/36.

B's 1 day work=1/36.

Hence B alone can finish the work in 36 days.

Given condition:

Speed of the boat in still water = 6 km/hr.

Speed of boat in downstream = 3 * speed of boat in upstream.

Let the speed of the current be 'x' km/hr.

Therefore, speed of the boat in upstream (i.e against the current) = (6-x) km/hr.

Speed of the boat in downstream (i.e in the direction of current) = (6+x) km/hr

Now, substituting values in given condition, we get

⇒ (6+x) = 3 * (6-x)

⇒ 6+x = 18-3x

⇒ 4x=12

⇒ x=3 km/hr 

Thus, speed of the current = 3 km/hr.

Let the distance between Tina's house and school be 'x' km.

Therefore, time to cover the distance from her house to school = (Distance/ speed) = (x/3) hours.

Similarly, time to cover the distance from her school to house = (x/2) hours.

It is given that total time taken for whole journey= 5 hours.

Thus, (x/3 + x/2)= 5

⇒ ((2x+3x)/6)= 5

⇒ (5x/6) = 5

⇒ 5x=30 or x=6

Thus, distance between her house and school is 6 km

It is given that: Speed in still water = 8 km/hr

Speed of the stream = 4 km/hr

Speed of upstream = (8-4) = 4 km/hr

Speed of downstream = (8+4) = 12 km/hr

Total time = 1.5 hrs

Let x is the distance.

Then substituting the values, we get

x/12 + x/4 = 3/2

x = 4.5 km

Average speed = 2xy/(x + y) km/hr

= (2 x 70 x 55)/ (70 + 55) km/hr

= (2 x 70 x 55)/125 km/hr

= 308/5 km/hr

= 61.6 km/hr

• Truck speed = 550 m / 60 s = 9.1667 m/s.
• Bus speed = 33 km / 45 min = (33 * 1000 m) / (45 * 60 s) = 33000/2700 = 12.2222 m/s.
• Ratio = 9.1667 : 12.2222 = 9.1667 / 12.2222 ≈ 0.75 = 3:4.
  Alternatively, in km/hr:
• Truck = (550/1000) / (1/60) = 0.55 * 60 = 33 km/hr.
• Bus = 33 / (45/60) = 33 * (4/3) = 44 km/hr.
• Ratio = 33:44 = 3:4.
   

Speed = 9km/hr = ( 9 * 5/18)m/sec = 5/2 m/sec

Total Distance = Perimeter of Square

4 * side of the square = 35 *4 = 140 m

Therefore, time taken = Distance /Speed = 140/(5/2) = 140* 2/5 = 28 *2 = 56sec

Number of liters of water in 150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 20/100 * 150 = 30 liters. P liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture.

Total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and total volume of mixture is (150 + P).

(30 + P) = 25/100 * (150 + P)

120 + 4P = 150 + P

⇒ P = 10 liters.

Statements:
All cricketers are wealthy.
Some wealthy are Indians.
All Indians are honest.
The Venn diagram as per the given statements:

Conclusions:
I. All Indians are cricketers. → Does not follow (Because there is no definite relation given between Indians and cricketers, so it can be possible only but not definitely true)
II. Some cricketers are honest. → Does not follow (Because there is no definite relation given between cricketers and honest, so it can be possible only but not definitely true)
Hence, the correct answer is "Neither conclusions I nor II follow".

The correct answer is All four
Key Points

• Gandhi-Irwin Pact
• Irwin on behalf of the government agreed on

The correct answer is (A) - (3), (B) - (4), (C) - (1), (D) - (2).
Key Points:

• The correct pairs are as follows:
  

Additional Information:

• Poise:
  • ​According to the centimeter-gram-second system of units, the poise is the measure of dynamic viscosity (absolute viscosity).
  • Instead of the poise itself, the centipoise (1 cP = 0.01 P) is more frequently employed.
• Farad:
  • ​The International System of Units' farad (symbol: F) represents electrical capacitance, or a body's capacity to store an electrical charge (SI).
• Kelvin:
  • ​The Boltzmann constant's numerical value is set to be exactly 1.380649 x 10^-23...J K^-1 [joules per kelvin], which yields the kelvin, symbol K, as the SI unit of thermodynamic temperature.
• Calorie:
  • ​Calorie is a term used to refer to various energy or heat units.
  • The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1° Celsius at a pressure of 1 standard atmosphere was the original definition of a calorie.

The correct mirror image of the given figure is:
 
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

The figure that will replace the question mark (?) in the following figure series is shown below:

Hence, ‘option 2’ is the correct answer.

Cost prices and selling prices are less than Rs. 100
CP of A : B : C = 6 : 5 : 4
Possible combinations of CP are (30, 25, 20), (60, 50, 40), (90, 75, 60)

Using Statement I :
Profit on A is Rs. 12
So, the CP of A cannot be 90
As SP will be 102 and it cannot be more than 100
Possible combinations of CP of (A, B, C) are (30, 25, 20) and (60, 50, 40)
But, we cannot find a single value of CP
So, statement I alone is not sufficient.

Using Statement II :
B and A are sold at the same price and profit on B is Rs. 10 more than profit on A.
Only possible when cost price of A is Rs. 10 more than that of B
Possible combination of CP of (A, B, C) is (60, 50, 40)
So, cost price of C is Rs. 40
So, statement II is alone sufficient.
Hence, option B is correct.

Let the age of the grandmother = 8x

Difference = 3x – 2x = (8 + 4)
x = 12
Age of Grandmother = 8 × 12 = 96 years
Age of Ravi = 2x + 8 = 32 years
Age of Chetan = 96 – 32 = 64 years
Reqd. ratio = (32 + 8) : (64 + 8) = 40 : 72 = 5 : 9
Hence, option C is correct.

Grandson of Amit’s brother means Son of Amit in this situation. Then the girl is the wife of Amit’s Son that makes Ami the Father-in-law of the Girl.
