### Quiz

1.The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 6. If the digits are reversed, the number is decreased by 36. Find the number?

A. 15
B. 51
C. 24
D. 42

Explanation:
a + b = 6
(10a + b) – (10b +a) = 36, a – b = 4
We get a = 5 and b = 1
So number is 51

2. If the places of last two-digits of a three digit number are interchanged, a new number greater than the original number by 36 is obtained. What is the difference between the last two digits of that number?

A. 2
B. 3
C. 4
D. 7

Explanation:
let the number be 100a + 10b + c
(100a + 10b +c) – (100a + 10c +b) = 36
b – c = 4

3. The average price of 80 mobile phones is Rs.30,000. If the highest and lowest price mobile phones are sold out then the average price of remaining 78 mobile phones is Rs. 29,500. The cost of the highest mobile is Rs.80,000. The cost of lowest price mobile is?

A. Rs. 18000

C. Rs. 19000
D. Can’t be determined

Explanation:
The price of the costliest and cheapest mobile = (80*3000) – (78*29500) = 99000
Cheapest Mobile Price = 99000 – 80000 = 19000

4. In a Company the average income of all the employees is Rs. 20000 per month. Recently the company announced increment of Rs. 2000 per month for all the employees. The new average income of all the employees is?

500×($$\frac{20}{100}$$) = 100 => 500+100 = 600
300×($$\frac{10}{100}$$) = 30 => 300+33 = 330
200×($$\frac{20}{100}$$) = 40 => 200+40 = 240
600:330:240 = 20:11:8

1. Nishu is standing on a railway bridge which is 180 m long. He finds that a train crosses the bridge in 20 seconds but himself in 8 seconds. Find the speed of the train?

A. 35 kmph
B. 54 kmph
C. 62 kmph
D. 70 kmph

Explanation:
Let the length of the train be x metres.
Then, the train covers x metres in 8 seconds (train is actually covering itself because length of man is very less compartable to train)and (x + 180) metres in 20 seconds.
equate speed in both case,s = $$\frac{d}{t}$$
∴ $$\frac{x}{8}$$ = $$\frac{x + 180}{20}$$
⇔ 20x = 8($$\frac{x + 180}{20}$$) ⇔ x = 120.
∴ Length of the train = 120 m.
Speed of the train = $$\frac{120}{8}$$m/sec (convert to km/hr i.e x $$\frac{18}{5}$$)
=$$\frac{120}{8}$$ x $$\frac{18}{5}$$ kmph = 54 kmph.

2. Two train travel in opposite directions at 36 kmph and 45 kmph and a man sitting in slower train passes the faster train in 8 seconds. Then length of the faster train is:

A. 120 m
B. 140 m
C. 160 m
D. 180 m

Explanation:
When OPP. direction-PLUS
Relative speed = (36 + 45) km/hr
= [81 x $$\frac{5}{18}$$] m/sec = $$\frac{45}{2}$$ m/sec.
Length of train = $$\frac{45}{2}$$ x 8 m = 180 m.

3. A can do a piece of work in 60days working 14 hours. B has the same efficiency as of A. A and B started working together. A works 5,6,7 and 8 hours respectively on first four days and repeats the cycle again. Then B has to work how many hours daily if they together completed the work in 80 days?

A. 1 Hour
B. 2 Hours
C. 3 Hours
D. 4 Hours

Explanation:
$$\frac{20*(5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 4x)}{840}$$ = 1
x = 4 hours

4. Sruthi, Swetha and Swati together can cut 216 Apples of the same size in 3 hours. Number of Apples cut by Sruthi in 9 hours is same as the number of Apples cut by Swati in 7 hours.

A. 21
B. 24
C. 27
D. 29

Explanation:
U + v + W = 72
9U = 7W
W – V = V-U
V = 24
