1. In a 400 meters race, X beats Y by 40 meters, while in a 200 meters race, Y beats Z by 10 meters. X beats Y in a kilometer race by?
A. 100 meters
B. 125 meters
C. 140 meters
D. 145 meters
View Answer
Ans : D
Explanation: When A = 400, B = 360.
When B = 200, C = 190.
Multiple A and B and C by 2.5
A = 400 * 2.5 = 1000
B = 360 * 2.5 = 900
C = will be 855
Make B = 900. A will be 1000. C will be 855.
2. The index numbers of five commodities are 100, 105, 110, 115, 120 and the weights assigned to these are respectively 5, 10, 5, 8, 15. Then what is the weighted average index number?
A. 100.57
B. 105.69
C. 112.09
D. 117.17
View Answer
Ans : C
Explanation: Weighted average = Sum of all the weights / Total number of weights
Sum of all the weights = 100*5 + 105*10 + 110*5 + 115*8 + 120*15
= 4820
Number of weights = 5 + 10 + 5 + 8 + 15
= 43
Weighted average = 4820 / 43
= 112.09
3. Ten years ago, the combined ages of X and Y was twice that of Z. If the sum of the ages of X and Y, fifteen years hence, is 98 years, what is the present age of Z?
A. 28 Yrs
B. 34 Yrs
C. 38 Yrs
D. 44 Yrs
View Answer
Ans : B
Explanation: (X -10)+(Y-10) =2(Z-10)
X + Y – 20 = 2Z – 20
X + Y = 2Z
X+Y+30= 98
X+Y=68
Z = 68 / 2
=34 yrs.
4. The average weight of 20 a group of mens increases by 5 kg when a new person replaces one of the men from the group who weighs 80kg. Calculate the weight of the new men.
A. 140 kg
B. 160 kg
C. 180 kg
D. 200 kg
View Answer
Ans : C
Explanation: Total increase in weight = 20*5 =100 kg
Weight of new person = 80+100 =180 kg
5. When 50% of a number is added to 100, the result is the same number. The number is?
A. 50
B. 100
C. 150
D. 200
View Answer
Ans : D
Explanation: Let the number be equal to x.
x/2 +100 = x
Hence x=200
6. In a class there are 40% of girls of which 20% poor. What is the probability that a poor girl is selected is leader?
A. 0.08
B. 0.12
C. 0.15
D. 0.2
View Answer
Ans : A
Explanation: Assume total students in the class = 100
Then Girls = 40% (100) = 40
Poor girls = 20% (40) = 8
So probability that a poor girls is selected leader = (Poor Girls/Total Girls)
= 8/100 => 8%
7. X and Y each walk 10 km. The speed of X is 1.5 faster than Y speed . X reaches the destination 1.5hrs before Y .Then X speed is equal to?
A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 5
View Answer
Ans : C
Explanation: Let speed of X = x kmph.
So, speed of Y = ( x - 1.5 ) kmph.
Time difference =1.5hours
Total Distance = 10km
10/(x-1.5) -10/x = 1.5
By solving the above eq.
x = 4 kmph
8. Of a set of 30 numbers, average of first 10 numbers = average of last 20 numbers. Then the sum of the last 20 numbers is?
A. Sum of first ten numbers
B. 2X sum of first 10 number
C. Sum of last ten number
D. 2X sum of last ten number
View Answer
Ans : B
Explanation: since, average=(sum of n no.s)/(total no)
therefore, (sum of first 10 no.s)/10 == (sum of last 20 no)/20
Hence, (sum of last 20 no.s) = 2*(sum of first 10 no.s)
