Answer : 1. "264"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 264 Explanation: Let the number be 'x'. Then, from given data x/2 + x/3 + x/4 = x+2213x/12 = x+22x = 264
Q: A single pipe of diameter x has to be replaced by six pipes of diameters 12 cm each. The pipes are used to covey some liquid in a laboratory. If the speed/flow of the liquid is maintained the same then the value of x is ? 1507 05b5cc73ae4d2b4197774f902

Answer : 2. "29.39 cm"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 29.39 cm Explanation: Volume of water flowing through 1 pipe of diameter x = Volume discharged by 6 pipes of diameter 12 cms. As speed is same, area of cross sections should be same. Area of bigger pipe of diameter x = Total area of 6 smaller pipes of diameter 12 i.e πR2 = 6πR12 Here R = R and R1 = 12/2 = 6 ⇒R2 = 6×6×6 R = 14.696 => D = X = 14.696 * 2 = 29.3938 cm.
Q: Population of a colony of mosquitoes is increasing by 20% per day. If the population on Monday was 3000, on which day of that week the population would be 5184 ? 1453 05b5cc73ae4d2b4197774f8f1

Answer : 1. "Thursday"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Thursday Explanation: Given monday population = 3000Per day 20% increase in population. Tuesday population = 3000 + 3000x20/100 = 3000 + 600 = 3600 Wednesday population =3600 + 3600x20/100 = 3600 + 720 = 4320 Thursday population = 4320 + 4320x20/100 = 4320 + 864 = 5184 So that day is Thursday.
Q: Two parallel chords on the same side of the centre of a circle are 5 cm apart. If the chords are 20 and 28 cm long, what is the radius of the circle? 973 05b5cc73ae4d2b4197774f8f7

Answer : 2. "15.69 cm"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 15.69 cm Explanation: Draw the two chords as shown in the figure. Let O be the center of the circle. Draw OC perpendicular to both chords. That divides the two chords in half.So CD = 10 and AB = 14. Draw radii OA and OD, both equal to radius r.We are given that BC = 5, the distance between the two chords. LetOB = x. We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle ABO AO² = AB² + OB² r² = 14² + x² We use the Pythagorean theorem on right triangle DCO DO² = CD² + OC² We see that OC = OB+BC = x+5, so r² = 10² + (x+5)² So we have a system of two equations: r² = 14² + x² r² = 10² + (x+5)² Since both left sides equal r², set the right sidesequal to each other. 14² + x² = 10² + (x+5)² 196 + x² = 100 + x² + 10x + 25 196 = 125 + 10x 71 = 10x 7.1 = x r² = 14² + x² r² = 196 + (7.1)² r² = 196 + 50.41 r² = 246.41 r = √246.41 r = 15.69745202 cm

Answer : 2. "37.33 sec"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 37.33 sec Explanation: Speed = 108 km/hrenter a tunnel,, means that the train covers a distance equal to its own lengthso (108 x 5/18) = x/4 where x= length of trainhence x = 120 mtrsto pass completely train has to travel a distance = (x + tunnel length) that is 1120 mtrs.so (1120/t) = (108x5/18)t = 37.33 sec
Q: Three strategies P, Q and R have been initiated for cost cutting in a company producing respectively 20%, 30% and 10% savings. Assuming that they operate independently, what is the net saving achieved ? 1694 05b5cc73ae4d2b4197774f8dd

Answer : 1. "49.6%"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 49.6% Explanation: As these three strategies P, Q and R are independent so these will cut cost one after the other.If initial cost is Rs 100, then20% cost is cut after initializing strategy P, then cost will remain 80% = 80further 30% cost is cut after strategy Q, then cost will remain 70% of 80 = 56further 10% cost is cut after strategy R, then cost will remain 90% of 56 = 50.4 Thus final cost remains 50.4 % of the original cost. Hence net saving is 100 - 50.4 = 49.6 %.
