Answer : 3. "82.5"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 82.5 Explanation: The given series 12 24 26.5 79.5 ? 330 follows a pattern that, 12 x 2 = 24 24 + 2.5 = 26.5 26.5 x 3 = 79.5 79.5 + 3 = 82.5 82.5 x 4 = 330 Hence, the missing number is 82.5
Q: Two stations A and B are 200 km apart on a straight track. One train starts from A at 7 a.m. and travels towards B at 20 kmph. Another train starts from B at 8 a.m. and travels towards A at a speed of 25 kmph. At what time will they meet? 1882 05b5cc764e4d2b4197774fdad

Answer : 4. "12 p.m."
Explanation :
Answer: D) 12 p.m. Explanation: Assume both trains meet after 'p' hours after 7 a.m.Distance covered by train starting from A in 'p' hours = 20p kmDistance covered by train starting from B in (p-1) hours = 25(p-1)Total distance = 200=> 20x + 25(x-1) = 200=> 45x = 225=> p= 5Means, they meet after 5 hours after 7 am, ie, they meet at 12 p.m.
Q: Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 15 min and 20 min respectively. Both the pipes are opened together but after 4 min, pipe A is turned off. What is the total time required to fill the tank ? 1881 05b5cc6e0e4d2b4197774eb48

Answer : 4. "14 min 40 sec."
Explanation :
Answer: D) 14 min 40 sec. Explanation: Part filled in 4 minutes = 4(1/15 + 1/20) = 7/15 Remaining part = 1 - 7/15 = 8/15 Part filled by B in 1 minute = 1/20 1/20 : 8/15 :: 1 : k k = (8/15 )x 1 x 20 = 10( 2/3) min = 10 min 40 sec. The tank will be full in (4 min. + 10 min. 40 sec) = 14 min 40 sec.
Q: With an average speed of 40 km/hr, a train reaches its destination in time. If it goes with an average speed of 35 km/hr, it is late by 15 minutes. Find the length of the total journey? 1881 05b5cc662e4d2b4197774be9c

Answer : 1. "70 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 70 kms Explanation: Let the time taken by train be 't' hrs. Then, 40t = 35t + 1560 40t = 35t + 35/4 t = 7/4 hrs Therefore, Required length of the total journey d = s x t = 40 x 7/4 = 70 kms.
Q: A, B and C can do a piece of work in 72, 48 and 36 days respectively. For first p/2 days, A & B work together and for next ((p+6))/3days all three worked together. Remaining 125/3% of work is completed by D in 10 days. If C & D worked together for p day then, what portion of work will be remained? 1880 05b5cc669e4d2b4197774bf4d

Answer : 2. "1/6"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/6 Explanation: Total work is given by L.C.M of 72, 48, 36 Total work = 144 units Efficieny of A = 144/72 = 2 units/day Efficieny of B = 144/48 = 3 units/day Efficieny of C = 144/36 = 4 units/day According to the given data, 2 x p/2 + 3 x p/2 + 2 x (p+6)/3 + 3 x (p+6)/3 + 4 x (p+6)/3 = 144 x (100 - 125/3) x 1/100 3p + 4.5p + 2p + 3p + 4p = 84 x 3 - 54 p = 198/16.5 p = 12 days. Now, efficency of D = (144 x 125/3 x 1/100)/10 = 6 unit/day (C+D) in p days = (4 + 6) x 12 = 120 unit Remained part of work = (144-120)/144 = 1/6.

Answer : 2. "54055"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 54055 Explanation: Here the given series follows a pattern that, multiplying the number with odd numbers in decreasing order starting with 13. That is, 6 × 13 = 78 65 × 11 = 858 858 × 9 = 7722 7722 × 7 = 54054 54054 × 5 = 270270 Hence, the wrong number is 54055
