Arithmetic
1. A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
A. 120 metres
B. 180 metres
C. 324 metres
D. 150 metres
Answer: Option (D)
Explanation:
Length of the train = (Speed x Time) =50/3 x 9 m = 150 m.
2. A 600m long train is running at 73 Kmph. How much time Train will take to cross an electric pole?
A. 29.58 sec
B. 28.58sec
C. 29 sec
D. 28sec
E. None of these
Answer: Option (A)
Explanation:
Formula Used: Time = ( Distance / Speed)
As all the option given in sec., so convert the train speed (Kmph) in to mps multiply by 5/18
speed (mps) = 73 * 5/18
Time = 600 / (73 * 5/18)
= (600 * 18 )/(73 * 5) sec
= (10800 / 365)
Time take by Train = 29.58Sec
3. A 120 m long train is running at 72 Kmph. How much time will it take to cross a man standing on the platform?
A. 6 sec
B. 2.5 sec
C. 5 sec
D. 12 sec
Answer: Option (A)
Explanation:
Formula Used: Time = ( Distance / Speed)
As all the option given in sec., so convert the train speed (Kmph) into mps multiply by 5/18
speed (MPs) = 72 * 5/18 = 20 MPs
Time = (120 / 20) sec = 6 sec
Time take by Train = 6 Sec.
4. A train running at a speed of 126 Kmph. What will be the length of the train if it crosses a tree in 5 sec?
A. 190 meters
B. 180 meters
C. 143 meters
D. 175 meters
E. None of these
Answer: Option (D)
Explanation:
Formula Used: Distance = (Speed * Time)
convert the train speed (Kmph) in to mps multiply by 5/18
speed (mps) = 126 * 5/18 = 35 mps
length = ( 35 * 5 ) meter
= 175 meter
5. 320m long train is running at 72 Kmph. how much time it will take to cross a platform of 180m long?
A. 20 sec
B. 30 sec
C. 25 sec
D. 27 sec
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
Total Length = Platform Length + Train Length
So Total Length = 500m
convert the train speed (Kmph) in to mps multiply by 5/18
speed (mps) = 72 * 5/18 = 20mps
Formula Used: Time = Distance/Speed
Time = (500 / 20 ) sec
= 25 sec.
Algebra
1. If a * b = 2a – 3b + ab, then 3 * 5 + 5 * 3 is equal to :
Answer: Option (A)
Explanation:
a * b = 2a – 3b + ab
Þ 3 * 5 = 2 × 3 – 3 × 5 + 3 × 5 = 6
5 * 3 = 2 × 5 – 3 × 3 + 3 × 5
= 10 – 9 + 15 = 16
Therefore, 3 * 5 + 5 *3
= 6 + 16 = 22

Mensuration
1. The length of a rectangular plot is thrice its breadth. If the area of the rectangular plot is 867 sq m, then what is the breadth of the rectangular plot?
A. 8.5 m
B. 17 m
C. 34 m
D. 51 m
E. None of these
Answer: Option (B)
Explanation:
Let the breadth of the plot be b. m.
Length of the plot = 3 b m
(3b)(b) = 867
3b[latex]^{2}[/latex] = 867
b[latex]^{2}[/latex] = 289 = 17[latex]^{2}[/latex] (b > 0)
b = 17 m.
2. The length of a rectangular floor is more than its breadth by 200%. If Rs. 324 is required to paint the floor at the rate of Rs. 3 per sq m, then what would be the length of the floor?
A. 27 m
B. 24 m
C. 18 m
D. 21 m
E. None of these
Answer: Option (C)
Explanation:
Let the length and the breadth of the floor be lm and bm respectively.
l = b + 200% of b = l + 2b = 3b
Area of the floor = 324/3 = 108 sq m
l b = 108 i.e., l * l/3 = 108
l[latex]^{2}[/latex] = 324 => l = 18.
3. What will be the cost of building a fence around a square plot with an area equal to 289 sq ft, if the price per foot of building the fence is Rs.58?
A. Rs. 3944
B. Rs. 3828
C. Rs. 4176
D. Cannot be determined
E. None of these
Answer: Option (A)
Explanation:
Let the side of the square plot be an ft.
a[latex]^{2}[/latex] = 289 => a = 17
Length of the fence = Perimeter of the plot = 4a = 68 ft.
Cost of building the fence = 68 * 58 = Rs. 3944.
4. The dimensions of a room are 25 feet * 15 feet * 12 feet. What is the cost of whitewashing the four walls of the room at Rs. 5 per square feet if there is one door of dimensions 6 feet * 3 feet and three windows of dimensions 4 feet * 3 feet each?
A. Rs. 4800
B. Rs. 3600
C. Rs. 3560
D. Rs. 4530
E. None of these
Answer: Option (D)
Explanation:
Area of the four walls = 2h(l + b)
Since there are doors and windows, area of the walls = 2 * 12 (15 + 25) - (6 * 3) - 3(4 * 3) = 906 sq.ft.
Total cost = 906 * 5 = Rs. 4530.
5. The sector of a circle has a radius of 21 cm and central angle 135o. Find its perimeter?
A. 91.5 cm
B. 93.5 cm
C. 94.5 cm
D. 92.5 cm
E. None of these
Answer: Option (A)
Explanation:
The perimeter of the sector = length of the arc + 2(radius)
= (135/360 * 2 * 22/7 * 21) + 2(21)
= 49.5 + 42 = 91.5 cm
