1) | 2 hours | 2) | 3 hours |
3) | 4 hours | 4) | 5 hours |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 4 hours
Explanation :
Explanation :
Speed downstream = (13 + 4) km/hr = 17 km/hr.
Time taken to travel 68 km downstream = ( 68/17) hrs = 4 hrs.

Q562. |
|
1) | 20 km/hr | 2) | 22 km/hr |
3) | 24 km/hr | 4) | 28 km/hr |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 22 km/hr
Explanation :
Explanation :
Let the speed of the man in still water be x km/hr. then,
km/hr.
10/(x-2) + 10/(x+2) = 55/60
or x = 22 km/hr

Q563. |
|
1) | 17 kg | 2) | 20 kg |
3) | 26 kg | 4) | 31 kg |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 31 kg
Explanation :
Explanation :
Let A, B, C represent their respective weights. Then, we have:
A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 .... (i)
A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 .... (ii)
B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ....(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 .... (iv)
Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31.
B's weight = 31 kg.

1) | 3500 | 2) | 4000 |
3) | 4050 | 4) | 5000 |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 4000
Explanation :
Explanation :
Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:
P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... (i)
Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii)
P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii)
Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get: 2(P + Q + R) = 33000 or P + Q + R = 16500 .... (iv)
Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000.
P's monthly income = Rs. 4000.

|
1) | 23 years | 2) | 24 years |
3) | 25 years | 4) | 30 years |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 23 years
Explanation :
Explanation :
Let the average age of the whole team by x years.
Then,11x - (26 + 29) = 9(x -1)
or 11x - 9x = 46
or 2x = 46
or x = 23.
So, average age of the team is 23 years.

Q567. |
|
1) | 76 kg | 2) | 76.5 kg |
3) | 85 kg | 4) | Data Inadequate |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 85 kg
Explanation :
Explanation :
Total weight increased = (8 x 2.5) kg = 20 kg.
So,weight of new person = (65 + 20) kg = 85 kg.

Q568. |
|
1) | 35 years | 2) | 40 years |
3) | 50 years | 4) | Data Inadequate |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 40 years
Explanation :
Explanation :
Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (27 x 3 + 3 x 3) years = 90 years.
Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (20 x 2 + 5 x 2) years = 50 years.
Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years.

Q569. |
|
1) | 34 | 2) | 31 |
3) | 36 | 4) | 32 |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 36
Explanation :
Explanation :
Let the batsman’s average runs up to 12th innings was x.
Total run = 12 x.
Now total run up to 13th innings = (12 x + 96)
According to equation = (12 x + 96)/13 = x + 5 or x = 31.
So, after 13th innings average will be 31 + 5 = 36.
Shortcut Method :
96 - (135) + 5 = 36

Q570. |
|
1) | 500 | 2) | 600 |
3) | 550 | 4) | 480 |
5) | None of these |
Answer : 550
Explanation :
Explanation :
By alligantion method :
12000 3750
6000
6000 - 3750 = 2250 12000 - 6000 = 6000
So, final ratio = 2250 : 6000 = 3 : 8
So,total number of employees = (150/3) x 11 = 550
