A 11 days b 12 days c 14 days d None of these
1 days work of Ajay =1/25
Sanjay = 1/20
So (Ajay+Sanjay)= 1/25+1/20=9/100
5 days work of Ajaya and Sajay=45/100
Remaining work = 1-45/100=55/100
Sajay can do 55/100 work in 55/100/1/20 = 11 Days

A 45 b 54 c 35 d 48
Radius of hemisphere= 9 cmvolume of hemisphere= 2/3 π r3 = 2/3 x9x9x9 π = 486 π radius of cylindrical shaped bottles= 3/2 cmheight= 4 cm, volume of bottles= π r2h= 3/2x 3/2 x 4 π =9 π now,Reaquired no. of bottles= volume of hemisphere/ volume of bottles. =486 π/9π . =54Hence, no. of bottles required to empty the bowl = 54 Answer b 54
13 If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 200 % and the denominator is increased by 300 % the resultant fraction is 6/11 . What was the original fraction .
A 5/11 b 7/11 . c 8/13 d 8/11
If numerator increase 200 % then Numerator will be x+2x =3x
and denominator increased by 300% means denominator will be y = 3y =4y
new fraction will be 3x/4y =6/66 (g3x/4y = 6/11
dividing numerator by 3 and denominator by 4 both side we will get
x/y =6/3/11/4
x/y=6×4/11×3
x/y =24/33
x/y =8/11 Answer d 8/11

20 The distance between two cities A and B is 520 km . One car starts from city A towards city B with the speed of 60 km/h. At the same time another car starts from city B towards city A with a speed of 70 km/h . After how many hours they will cross each other
A 3 hours b 4 Hours d 5 hours d 6 hours
Let distance travelled by A= X
Distance travelled by B= (520-X)
X/60=520-x/70
70X=(520-X)60
70X=520*60-60X
130X=520*60 X=240 ie Time =240/60= 4 Hrs Answer 4 Hrs
