Answer : 3. "24min"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 24min Explanation: Given taps X and Y can fill the tank in 30 and 40 minutes respectively. Therefore, part filled by tap X in 1 minute = 1/30 part filled by tap Y in 1 minute = 1/40 Tap Z can empty the tank in 60 minutes. Therefore, part emptied by tap Z in 1 minute = 1/60 Net part filled by Pipes X,Y,Z together in 1 minute = [1/30 +1/40 - 1/60] = 5/120 = 1/24 i.e., the tank can be filled in 24 minutes.

Answer : 1. "168"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 168 Explanation: Let us say x boys and x girls joined the group. (64 + x)/(40 + x) = 4/3 192 + 3x = 160 + 4x => x = 32 Number of members in the group = 64 + x + 40 + x = 104 + 2x = 168.

Answer : 3. "528"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 528 Explanation: Assume x soldiers join the fort. 1200 soldiers have provision for 1200 (days for which provisions last them)(rate of consumption of each soldier)= (1200)(30)(3) kg. Also provisions available for (1200 + x) soldiers is (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) k As the same provisions are available=> (1200)(30)(3) = (1200 + x)(25)(2.5) x = ([(1200)(30)(3)] / (25)(2.5)) - 1200 => x = 528.

Answer :
Explanation :
1. Answer (c) Each time we order 1, one apple is added to the basket but each time when 4 is ordered, one apple is removed from it. Required number of apples = number of 1's - number of 4's = 6 - 4 = 2 2. Answer (d) Each time we order 1, 2 or 3, one fruit is added to the basket but when ever we order 4, two fruits are removed from it. Required number = Number of 1's + Number of 2's + Number of 3's - 2 x (Number of 4's) = 6 + 6 + 7 - (2x4) = 19 - 8 = 11.
