2.G gallons of water in a tank, if X gallons/hr--water flowing inward,Y gallons/hr water flowing outward, condition Y>X.Then how much time it takes to so that the tank capacity becomes G/2 gallons of water.
ANS:g/2(y-x)
{
{G gallons of water in a tank, if X gallons/hr--water flowing inward,Y gallons/hr water flowing outward, condition Y>X..then how much time it takes to so that the tank capacity becomes G/2 gallons of water. In Flow rate = x g/hr Out Flow rate = y g/hr so it will be taken as negative Total time to fill G gallons of water is = -yx/x-y but the question is asking for half capacity then time will be = -yx/(x-y)2 as y is greater than x so the whole answer will become positive so t= xy/(y-x)2}
}
its a standard formula to calculate time for such tank ques like suppose A is inward rate to fill tank of particular capacity suppose B is outward rate to fill tank of particular capacity Total time will be A(-B)/(A-B )

Five years ago, Beth’s age was three times that of Amy. Ten years ago, Beth’s age was one half that of Chelsea. If C represents Chelsea’s current age, which of the following represents Amy’s current age? 1. c/6 + 5 2. 2c 3. (c-10)/3 4. 3c-5 5. 5c/3 – 10
Chelsea's current age is C. 10 yrs back...chelsea's age will be C-10. 10 yrs back..given that Beth will be half of Chelsea. So C-10/2. 5 yrs back Beth's age will be (C-10)/2 +5) =C/2 which gives C/2. Let us assume that Amy's current age is x.5 yrs back it will be x-5.Given that Beth will be 3 times as that of Amy 5 yrs back..,so 3x-15. So now equate Beth's age in terms of Amy and Chelsea 5 yrs back.... 3x-15=C/2 3x=C/2 + 15 3x=(C+30)/2 x=(C+30)/6 X=C/6 + 5 is the answer......
Three strings of musical instrument vibrates 6,8 and 12 times a second respectively. if all the three begins to vibrate simultaneously, find the shortest time interval before all the three vibrate together again... a) 1/4 s 2)1/2 s 3)24s 4)48s 5)96s
as its given that one string vibrates 6 times in 1 sec. so it vibrates once in 1/6 sec same for second string @ 1/8 sec. third string @ 1/12 sec now the shortest time interval can be derived by finding the hcf of all three above that gives u 1/2 sec.

3^n + 4 is divisible by 5 find the value of n a) 23 b) 24 c) 25 d) 26 e) 27 Any number which is divisible by 5 has 5 or 0 in it's units place...so 3^4 should have 1 or 6 in it's units place so that the last digit of 3^n + 4 is 5 or 0...So we have to find out by checking the options.... 3 has a series of 3,9,7,1(units place of powers of 3..,this series is a cyclic one)... Let me explain.... a) Lets verify option a..., 3^23.., so 23 divided 4(dividing by 4 because .., 3 will be having 4 different numbers in it's units place...) gives 3 as a remainder..,so 3rd number of the sequence(3,9,7,1)..so 7 is the units digit of this 3^23...,so 7+4 =11....,1 will be in unit's place..,which is not divisible by 5... so this is not the answer... b) 3^24.., 24 divided by 4 gives a remainder 0..., if we get the reminder 0.., we should take the last number of the sequence...so last number of sequence means 1..so 3^24 has 1 in its units place... so 1+4 gives 5 in it's units place.., so the number is divisible by 5.... So b is the answer.... the other options are not satisfying too... So option b is the answer...

There are 5 envelopes for prize distribution of which 2 contain cash & 3 contain certificates. when randomly 2 envelopes r taken without replacing one after other what is the probability of getting at least one envelope which contain cash.
Solution:
For at least one envelope to contain cash:
Let for one chance be that both envelope contains cash = 2c2 now for one containing cash and another certificate the possible probability = 3c1*2c1 Hence the total probability of getting at least one envelope with cash is: (3c1*2c1+2c2)/5c2 = 6+1/10 = 7/10 hope u get it Ans: 7/10
There is a 4 by 4 by 4 cubes; it is painted on all its 6 faces. Then it is cut in 1 by 1 by 1 cube. Now u randomly picks a cube and then in that cube u randomly pick a face. Whats the prob that it is colored. Ans: 16*6/64*6=1/4
this is with regards to the cube problem....guys ull r js complicating a simple logic. To find total no. of coloured faces: On each face of big cube (4x4x4 cube) there are 16 faces of small cubes (1x1x1 cubes). Now total no. of faces of big cube=6. Therefore, total no. of coloured faces=16x6. its as simple as that. Total no . of faces=64x6 (because 64 small cubes) Total no. of faces with no colour=(64x6)-(16x6)=48x6=288 Now u can find the probability for any damn question askd.

N is multiple of 7 and n=(s^2)*t whr both s and t are prime no.s . Which of the foll will be a multiple of 49? options are s^2*t^2 , s^4 , s^2*t , etc The answer i got was (s^2)*(t^2). n is a multiple of 7 and so s^2*t=7k, where k is some integer. since 7 is prime, s^2 cant be 7, so t should be 7 or its multiple. let us assume t was 7. 7k = s^2*t multiplying both sides by 7 49k = s^2*t*7 since we have assumed t to be 7, it becomes 49k = s^2*t^2 If t was not assumed to be 7, the answer would ve been 49k=s^2*t*7 or some k*t*7

A can complete a work in 10 days, B & C take 15 & 20 days resp. to complete same work if A starts the work and works at it for 1 day than B & C joins and A leaves & both work 2gether for 1 day & than B leaves. How long will C take to complete the work??
If A completes a work in 10 days.. he completes 1/10 of the work in a day..
similarly 1/15 for B and 1/20 for C so now.. A works for a day --> 1/10 of the work is done B & C work 2gether for 1 day --> 1/15+1/20 =7/60 of the work is done work completed = 1/10+7/60 = 13/60 of the total work work remaning = 47/60 Since C completes 1/20 of the work in 1 day, C will take (47/60)/(1/20)=47/3=15.66 days to complete the work.

a parallelogram ABCD with sides 1 each is divided such that 2 > equiletral triangle forms now find distance of longest side i.e AC
The side AC will be equal to 1. AC is the common side and it has to be equal to the other sides of the triangle AB and BC. AB and BC are also side of the parallelogram. AB=BC=AC=1.
OR
longest side is the trick word here. If the side is longer than 1, the triangle is not equilateral anymore. the angles of the parallelogram will be 60,120,60,120. So, AC will be the digonal joining A and C ie the two 120 degree angles. hence the parallelogram is split into two equilateral triangles. Trying drawing a figure
Approximately how many revolutions will be made by a bicycle tire with a 14-inch diameter if the bicycle travels 1/2 mile? (12 inches per foot and 5280 feet per mile. Assume pi is 3.14).

How many integers between 1 and 2000 inclusive are both the squares and cubes of any integer 1.3 2.4 3.12 4.21 5...dun remember
12 is correct because 21^3 is > 2000
the ans is 12. Try finding the cube of each of the options, it ll be seen that only for 21, it exceeds 2000, so the ans should be one immed below 21. So hopefully its 12. Its just guess work when we dont ve a calci. I dont know a proper method. If someone else knows, please enlighten us.
a man sold product X for 25% profit and Y for 25% loss..if he sold them for 210000 each then the sum of their original products is how much greater than 420000? 1.0 2.14000 3.36000 4.42000 5.28000

x is the largest number so that 6^x is exactly divisible by 252^5. Column A: x Column B: 10 i think col A is greater, since its said, x is the largest no. for any current value of x such tat 6^x is divisible by 252^5, we can always have a larger value of x, say x'=k*x, where k is some positive integer, so that 6^x' is also divisible by 252^5
If X is prime and N × X is both the square of an integer and the cube of an integer, where N is a positive integer, what is the greatest possible value of 1/(N × X) ? I am getting the ans as 1/64. Let me know if you find some discrepancy in my method. for 1/(N x X) to be greatest, (N x X) should be least. Say X=2, a prime we need NxX which is both a perfect square and perfect cube. 64 is the first no, which is a perfect square and a perfect cube. also N=32 is a positive integer. so ans could very well be 1/64
11th july quant hyderabad today i wrote my exam got 790 in quant. DI was a bit difficult. some of the questions i could remember (1) In a company 20% are male's ,60 new people are added to the company of whom 50 are male's,the ratio of male's isto female's before adding the 60 people is 1:4. the ratio after adding 60 people is 1:3. total no. of employees in the company? a)700 b)840 c)360 other options i don't remember
The answer has to be 700 or 760(by adding 60)
Here is the solution. Let total number of employees be T now, as per intial condition, number of males = 20% of total => M = T/5 and initial number of feamles : F = 4T/5 {given ratio of male to female s 1:4} now when 60 new workers are added 50 are male and 10 are female: Therefore.. M' = (T/5) + 50 = (T+250)/5 F' = (4T/5) + 10 = (4T + 50)5 new ratio is 1:3 therefore : (T +250)/ (4T+50) = 1/3 solve & u'll get T = 700 (2) x-2<2 find the range of x? ans:0can any one explain me this i do have exam tomm itself (5) the cost of X books is $1.00 and the cost of Y books is $3.00. total cost of sales of the books is $336.00. what is the max. no. of books that can be sold on that day? a)22 b)20 i don't remember other options
X+3Y = 336 we shld find max of (X+Y) = 336 - 2Y Y shld be minimum for 336 -2Y to be minimum so max no .of books sold is 336
how many integers between 1 and 2000 inclusive are both the squares and cubes of any integer 1.3 2.4 3.12 4.21 5...dun remember d ans is 3 cube= 1,8,27,64,125,216,343,512,729,1000,1331,1728 sqrs= 1,64,729 <1^2,8^2,27^2>
answers to my prev post are 1)ques hav some prob 2)modulus id always positive so -2< (x-2) <2 0if 1000 cubic inches of water flow in a cylindrical tank per min and the water level rises by 0.01 inches in one min.find the radius of the tank Ans: 180
volume is 1000 rise is .01 here is vol of water =pi r^2 h ie this becomes a small cylinder of ht, h 1000/pi h =r^2 round abt comes to b 178solve above equation
the cost of a cup is twice that of saucer. if the cost of cup increases by 13% and that of saucer is increased by 19% by how much % would the cost of 6 cups and 6 saucers increase.
a) 7% b) 7.5% c) 15% d) 16% e) 16.5%
ANS is (c). = 15 %. SOL :- let initial cost of CUP = C. SAUCER = S. then initially C=2S.........................................................(1) now new cost of CUP = 1.13C SAUCER = 1.19S now consider the case of 6 CUPS n 6 SOACERS : intial cost 6(C+S). final cost 6(1.13C + 1.19S). so % increment in the value of these items = [final cost - initial cost] / [initial cost] X 100. = 6[1.13C + 1.19S - C-S] / 6[C+S] X100 ={.13C + .19S}/{c+s} X100 using equ 1: = {.26S + .19 S} / 3S X100 =45S/3S =15%
OR Start off by assuming the prices.. cost of cup:20 and cost of saucer:10 Calculate the cost of 6 cups and 6 saucers before the increase of price. 6*20+6*10 = 180 Cost of cup increased by 13% ie.. 2.6 that sums up to 22.6 cost of saucer increased by 19% ie.. 1.9 that sums up to 11.9 Now calculate the cost of 6 cups and saucers considering the increased cost. ie.. 6*22.6+6*11.9 = 207 The total cost increased from 180 to 207 thus a increase of 15% .

Two cars started from the same point and traveled on a straight course in opposite directions for exactly 2 hours, at which time they were 208 miles apart. If one car traveled, on average, 8 miles per hour faster than the other car, what was the average speed for each car for the 2-hour trip?
let av. speed of car1 = x and av. speed of car 2 = x+8. so av. speed of car 2 wrt car1 = 2x+8. now speed = distance / time => 2x+8 = 208 / 2. 2x+8=104 => x = 48miles / hr. so av speed of car 1 = 48 miles/hr. and that of car 2 = 56 miles / hr.

There are four grps of people.The grps consist of 5,4,6 and 8. there are 2 modes of transfer.A van which can take max. 6 and a car which can take max 4 at a time. During a single journey, these vehicles can carry people from only one group at a time. Column A The no of trips required to transfer all the people from one point to another using only the van. Column B The no. of trips required to transfer people in the 3 groups with the lowest no. of people using only cars. ANS: C
There are five integers.3 of them are below 20 but more then 10 and 2 of them are below ten. col a: arithmetic mean of these 5 integers col b: median of the integers which are greater than 10. sol: arithmetic mean of 5 integers. take no's as 19,19,19,9,9. then the avg of these 5 no's is 15. so the ans is D.
*A quadrilateral ABCD having sides 10,10,1,9 is given. The angle between the sides 10,10 is x. col A:x col B:60 Ans:B let AB =BC=10 AND angle x bet these two... now sum of other two sides is 1+9=10 tat means if we join A AND C then its length must b smaller than 10 therefore tringle abc cann t be equilateral and oppostie side is less than 10 so angle x be less than 60 hence ans is B

the odds that a certain event will occur is the ratio of the probability that the event will occur .if the odds that part will win a prize are 4 to3,which is the probability that part will not win the prize 1/4 1/3 3/7 4/7 3/4 ans 3/7
x and y are integers and x-y is an even number.. col a : remainder when x^2+y is divided by 2 col b: 2 ans. b... jus plug in numbers n u get it easily.. dont try to do it algebraically
the average of x,y,z is 1/3 greater than x.the sum of y+z is what %greater than x ans. x+y+z=3(x+x/3) x+y+z=3x+x y+z=3x hence y+z is 200% greater thn x
its actually five ticks at equidistance... so the value at first position is 3/64 and the value at last i.e fifth postion is 7/16 so whats the value at 3rd position of the tick... Solution: multiply 7/16*4 i.e 28/64 now take the difference b/w first and last i.e (28-3)/64 = 25/64 , now divide it into 5 equal parts so the value at third part will be 3+5+5+5 = 18/64 which comes to 9/32 and that is what column B is So ANSWR IS C.....
there r 4 types of canoes.. red blue yellow green.. they have capacity of 3,2,4,6 ( not necessarily in tht order) 3 canoes are used to accomodate 16 ppl..wots the probability tht a person randomly picked is from the red canoe (whos capacity was 4).. here the only possible combination we can have is 2 canoes with capacity 6 n one with 4 (the red one) .. so the probability is 4/(4+6+6).. thts ¼
in give quadrilateral ABCD C=90 A=90 AB=BC CD=8 DA=6 cola: AB+BC colb: 10root2 ans is "c"
