Answer : 4. "360 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 360 mts Explanation: Speed of the Train K is given by s = d/t = 240/20 = 12 m/sDistance covered by Train K in 50 seconds = 12 x 50 = 600 mts.But it crosses Train L in 50 seconds Therefore, the length of the Train L is = 600 - 240 = 360 mts.
Q: One card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards, each of the 52 cards being equally likely to be drawn find the probability the card drawn is red. 1261 05b5cc6c8e4d2b4197774df1e

Answer : 2. "1/2"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1/2 Explanation: We know that: When one card is drawn from a pack of 52 cards The numbers of possible outcomes n(s) = 52 We know that there are 26 red cards in the pack of 52 cards⇒ The numbers of favorable outcomes n(E) = 26 Probability of occurrence of an event: P(E)=Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes=n(E)/n(S) ∴ required probability = 26/52 = 1/2.
Q: A train 900 m long is running at a speed of 78 km/hr. If it crosses a tunnel in 1 min, then the length of the tunnel is ? 1257 05b5cc6dce4d2b4197774e99c

Answer : 1. "400 m"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 400 m Explanation: Speed = 78 x 5/18 = 65/3 m/sec.Time = 1 min = 60 sec.Let the length of the train be x meters.Then, (900 + x)/60 = 65/3x = 400 m.
Q: Why are manhole covers round? 1257 05b5cc698e4d2b4197774c642

Answer :
Explanation :
A number of possible explanations for why manhole covers are round include : 1. A round manhole cover cannot fall through its circular opening, whereas a square, rectangular, or oval manhole cover could fall in if it were inserted diagonally in the hole. 2. Circular covers don’t need to be rotated or precisely aligned when placing them on the opening. 3. A round manhole cover is easily moved and rolled. 4. Human beings have a roughly circular cross-section. 5. Round tubes are the strongest shape against the compression of the earth around them, so the cover of the tube would naturally be round as well. 6. It’s easier to dig a circular hole.
Q: A tank is filled in eight hours by three pipes K, L and M. Pipe K is twice as fast as pipe L, and L is twice as fast as M. How much time will pipe L alone take to fill the tank ? 1255 05b5cc6dfe4d2b4197774eaee

Answer : 3. "28 hrs"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 28 hrs Explanation: 1/K + 1/L + 1/M = 1/8 (Given)Also given that K = 2L and L = 2M=> 1/2L + 1/L + 2/L = 1/8=> (1 + 2 + 4)/2L = 1/8=> 2L/7 = 8=> L = 28 hours.

Answer : 3. "5/9"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 5/9 Explanation: Here n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36 E={(1,2),(1,5),(2,1),(2,4),(3,3),(3,6),(4,2),(4,5),(5,1),(5,4),(6,3) ,(6,6),(1,3),(2,2),(2,6),(3,1),(3,5), (4,4),(5,3),(6,2)} => n(E)=20 Required Probability n(P) = n(E)/n(S) = 20/36 = 5/9.
Q: A certain sum is invested at simple interest at 18% p.a. for two years instead of investing at 12% p.a. for the same time period. Therefore the interest received is more by Rs. 840. Find the sum ? 1251 05b5cc6e2e4d2b4197774ec39

Answer : 3. "Rs. 7000"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Rs. 7000 Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. S.(S x 18 x 2)/100 - (S x 12 x 2)/100 = 840 => 36S/100 - 24S/100 = 840 => 12S/100 = 840 => S = 7000.
