Answer: C) 90 min Explanation: Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems) Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes 100X + 50(2X) = 180100X + 100X = 180200X = 180 min X = 180/200X = 0.90 min By convertiing into seconds, X = 0.90 x 60 secondsX = 54 sec So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.

Answer : 2. "J, L"
Explanation :

Answer: B) J, L Explanation: This question concerns a committee’s decision about which five of eight areas of expenditure to reduce. The question requires you to suppose that K and N are among the areas that are to be reduced, and then to determine which pair of areas could not also be among the five areas that are reduced. The fourth condition given in the passage on which this question is based requires that exactly two of K, N, and J are reduced. Since the question asks us to suppose that both K and N are reduced, we know that J must not be reduced: Reduced         ::      K, NNot reduced   ::      J The second condition requires that if L is reduced, neither N nor O is reduced. So L and N cannot both be reduced. Here, since N is reduced, we know that L cannot be. Thus, adding this to what we’ve determined so far, we know that J and L are a pair of areas that cannot both be reduced if both K and N are reduced: Reduced        ::      K, NNot reduced  ::      J, L Answer choice (B) is therefore the correct answer.

Answer : 2. "30 years"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 30 years Explanation: Let Karan’s present age be x years and Shiva’s present age be y years.Then, according to the first condition,x - 10 = 3(y - 10) or x - 3y = - 20 ..(1) Now, Karan’s age after 10 years = (x + 10) yearsShiva’s age after 10 years = (y + 10)(x + 10) = 2 (y + 10) or x - 2y = 10 ..(2) Solving (1) and (2), we get x = 70 and y = 30Karan’s age = 70 years and Shiva’s age = 30 years.
