Answer : 4. "10 : 23 : 20 PM"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 10 : 23 : 20 PM Explanation: The watch gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes = 100 seconds in 1 hour. From 8 AM to 10 PM on the same day, time passed is 14 hours. In 14 hours, the watch would have gained 1400 seconds or 23 minutes 20 seconds. So, when the correct time is 10 PM, the watch would show 10 : 23 : 20 PM

Answer : 3. "3:2"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3:2 Explanation: Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousersGiven that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)T = ( 81 - 3S )/7 We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of TSimplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7 Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9 Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we getS = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.

Answer : 1. "127.5 m"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 127.5 m Explanation: When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m. When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 x 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m. In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 - 787.5) = 212.5 m to C. In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C = (600 x 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.

Answer : 4. "72"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 72 Explanation: If number of visitors on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th day are k, l, m, n & o respectively, thenk + l + m + n = 58 x 4 = 232 ---- (i) & l + m + n + o = 60 x 4 = 240 ---- (ii)Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get o-k = 8 ---(iii)Given, k/o = 8/9 ----(iv)So from (iii) & (iv), we geta = 64, e = 72Therefore, number of visitors on 5th day is 72.
