Answer : 4. "3 hrs 45 min"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 3 hrs 45 min Explanation: Time taken by one tap to fill half of the tank = 3 hrs. Part filled by the taps in 1 hour = 4 x 1/6 = 2/3 Remaining part = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 2/3 : 1/2 :: 1 : p p = 1/2 x 1 x 3/2 = 3/4 hrs. i.e., 45 min So, total time taken = 3 hrs 45 min.

Answer : 2. "400 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 400 mts Explanation: Let the length of the 1st train = L mts Speed of 1st train = 48 kmph Now the length of the 2nd train = L/2 mts Speed of 2nd train = 42 kmph Let the length of the bridge = D mts Distance = L + L/2 = 3L/2 Relative speed = 48 + 42 = 90 kmph = 90 x 5/18 = 25 m/s(opposite) Time = 12 sec => 3L/2x25 = 12 => L = 200 mts Now it covers the bridge in 45 sec => distance = D + 200 Time = 45 sec Speed = 48 x5/18 = 40/3 m/s => D + 200/(40/3) = 45 => D = 600 - 200 = 400 mts Hence, the length of the bridge = 400 mts.

Answer : 3. "9"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 9 Explanation: The mother completes the job in x hours.So, the daughter will take 2x hours to complete the same job. In an hour, the mother will complete 1/x of the total job.In an hour, the daughter will complete 1/2x of the total job. So, if the mother and daughter work together, in an hour they will complete 1/x + 1/2x of the job.i.e., in an hour they will complete 3/2x of the job. The question states that they complete the entire task in 6 hours if they work together.i.e., they complete 1/6 th of the task in an hour. Equating the two information, we get 3/2x = 1/6By solving for x, we get 2x = 18 or x = 9. The mother takes 9 hours to complete the job.

Answer : 4. "1022"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 1022 Explanation: Lowest 4-digit number is 1000.LCM of 3, 4 and 5 is 60.Dividing 1000 by 60, we get the remainder 40. Thus, the lowest 4-digit number that exactly divisible by 3, 4 and 5 is 1000 + (60 - 40) = 1020.Now, add the remainder 2 that's required. Thus, the answer is 1022.
