ANSWERS WITH EXPLANATION

 

Answer1: A) 100 m
Explanation:
Relative speed of the thief and policeman  =  (11 – 10) km/hr = 1 km/hr 
Distance covered in 6 minutes  = (1/60) x 6 km   = 1/10 km = 100 m
Therefore, Distance between the thief and policeman = (200 – 100) m = 100 m.

Answer2: A) 3/13
Explanation:
Clearly, there are 52 cards, out of which there are 12 face cards.
P (getting a face card) = 12/52=3/13.

Answer3: C) 72
Explanation:
The pattern is 1 x 2, 2 x 3, 3 x 4, 4 x 5, 5 x 6, 6 x 7, 7 x 8.
So, the next number is 8 x 9 = 72.

Answer4: D) 364
Explanation:
L.C.M. of 6, 9, 15, and 18 is 90.
Let the required number be 90k + 4, which is a multiple of 7.
The least value of k for which (90k + 4) is divisible by 7 is k = 4.
=>Required number = (90 x 4) + 4   = 364.

Answer5: C) Rs.900
Explanation:
Let 4A = 6B = 1OC = k. Then, A = k/4, B = k/6,  and C =k/10 .
A : B :C = k/4 : k/6 : k/10 = 15 : 10 : 6.
Hence, C's share (4650 *  6/31) = Rs, 900.

Answer6: B) 4th,11th,18th,25th
Explanation:
We shall find the day on 1st April 2001.
1st April, 2001 = (2000 years + Period from 1.1.2001 to 1.4.2001)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 400 years = 0
Jan. Feb. March April
(31 + 28 + 31 + 1) = 91 days 0 odd days.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 0) = 0
On 1st April 2001, it was Sunday.
In April 2001 Wednesday falls on 4th, 11th, 18th, and 25th.

Answer7: C) 22 minutes
Explanation:
Let the two conditioners be A and B
'A' cools at 40min
'B' at 45min
Together = (a x b)/(a + b)
= (45 x 40)/(45 + 40)
= 45 x 40/85
= 21.1764
= 22 min (approx).

Answer8: B) 4/7
Explanation:
Let number of balls = (6 + 8) = 14.
A number of white balls = 8.
P (drawing a white ball) = 8 /14 = 4/7.

Answer9: B) 8x
Explanation:
x weeks x days = (7x + x) days = 8x days.

Answer10: C) 720
Explanation:
The word 'OPTICAL' contains 7 different letters.
When the vowels OIA are always together, they can be supposed to form one letter.
Then, we have to arrange the letters PTCL (OIA).
Now, 5 letters can be arranged in 5! = 120 ways.
The vowels (OIA) can be arranged among themselves in 3! = 6 ways.
Required number of ways = (120 x 6) = 720.
