Answer : 3. "13 days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 13 days Explanation: Now, Total work = LCM(16, 8) = 48 A's one day work = + 48/16 = + 3 B's one day work = - 48/8 = -6 Given A worked for 5 days to build the wall => 5 days work = 5 x 3 = + 15 2days B joined with A in working = 2(3 - 6) = - 6 Remaining Work of building wall = 48 - (15 - 6) = 39 Now this remaining work will be done by A in = 39/3 = 13 days.

Answer : 3. "5.76 kms"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 5.76 kms Explanation: Speed in still water = 6 kmph Stream speed = 1.2 kmph Down stream = 7.2 kmph Up Stream = 4.8 kmph x/7.2 + x/4.8 = 1 x = 2.88 Total Distance = 2.88 x 2 = 5.76 kms

Answer : 3. "66.6 mts"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 66.6 mts Explanation: From above diagramAC represents the hill and DE represents the tower Given that AC = 100 m angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD ) angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE) Let DE = h Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1) tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1 100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

Answer : 4. "1/14"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 1/14 Explanation: The 8 letters can be written in 8! ways.n(S) = 8!Let E be the event that the letters b,c,d,e always come together when the first 8 alphabets are written down.Now the letters a, (bcde), f, g and h can be arranged in 5! ways.The letters b,c,d and e can be arranged themselves in 4! ways.n(E) = 5! x 4!Now, the required P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 5! x 4!/8! = 1/14Hence the answer is 1/14.
