6)Two trains of length 120 m and 90 m respectively, with the same speed pass a static pole in 8s and 6 s, respectively. In what time they will cross each other if they are moving in opposite directions?
a) 14 s
b) 6 s
c) 20 s
d) 7 s
e) None of these

Answer d) 7 s
Explanation:
Speed of trains = 120/8 = 15 m/s
and 90/6 = 15 m/s
Relative speed = 15 + 15 = 30 m/s
Time = (120 + 90)/30 = 210/30 = 7 s.

7)In a test, minimum passing percentage for girls and boys is 35% and 40%, respectively. A boy scored 483 marks and failed by 117 marks. What are the minimum passing marks for girls?
a) 425
b) 520
c) 525
d) 625
e) None of these

Click to View Answer
Answer c) 525
Explanation:
Passing percentage = 40% (boys)
According to the question,
X * 40/100 = 483 + 117 (If total marks = X)
=>X * 40/100 = 600
=>X = (600 * 100)/40 = 1500
Passing marks for girls = 1500 * 35/100 = 525.

8)8 men can complete a piece of works in 20 days. 8 women can complete the same work in 32 days. In how many days will 5 men and 8 women together complete the same work?
a) 16
b) 12
c) 14
d) 10
e) None of these

Click to View Answer
Answer a) 16
Explanation:
8 * 20 men = 8 * 32 women
5 men = 8 women
Now, 5 men + 8 women = 8 + 8 = 16 women
Since, D1*M1 = D2*M2
Then, 8*32 women = 16*D2
=>D2 = 16 days.

Answer c) 15
Explanation:
Let each child originally supposed to get X sweets.
Hence, 112 * X = (112 – 32) * (X + 6)
=>112X = 80X + 480
=>32X = 480 =>X = 480/32 = 15.

10)In a mixture of milk and water the proportion of water by weight was 75%. If in the 60 g mixture, 15 g water was added, what would be the percentage of water? (Weight in gram)
a) 75%
b) 80%
c) 90%
d) 100%
e) None of these

Click to View Answer
Answer b) 80%
Amount of water in 60 g = 60 * 75/100 = 45 g
After adding 15 g of water in mixture = 45 + 15 = 60 g
Percentage of water in mixture = 60/(60 + 15) *100 = 80%.
