Answer : 1. "4/3 days"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 4/3 days Explanation: Let the total number of documents to be printed be 12. The number of documents printed by P in 1 day = 4. The number of documents printed by Q in 1 day = 3. The number of documents printed by R in 1 day = 2. Thus, the total number of documents that can be printed by all the machines working simultaneously in a single day = 9. Therefore, the number of days taken to complete the whole work = 12/9 = 4/3 days.

Answer : 3. "6 days"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 6 days Explanation: From the given data, 12 children 16 days work,One child’s one day work = 1/192. 8 adults 12 days work,One adult’s one day’s work = 1/96. Work done in 3 days = ((1/96) x 16 x 3) = 1/2 Remaining work = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2 (6 adults+ 4 children)’s 1 day’s work = 6/96 + 4/192 = 1/12 1/12 work is done by them in 1 day. 1/2 work is done by them in 12 x (1/2) = 6 days.

Answer : 2. "315"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 315 Explanation: Parallelograms are formed when any two pairs of parallel lines (where each pair is not parallel to the other pair) intersect. Hence, the given problem can be considered as selecting pairs of lines from the given 2 sets of parallel lines. Therefore, the total number of parallelograms formed = 7C2 x 6C2 = 315

Answer : 3. "11"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 11 Explanation: Let the number of sides be n. The number of diagonals is given by nC2 - n Therefore, nC2 - n = 44, n>0 nC2 - n = 44 n2 - 3n - 88 = 0 n2 -11n + 8n - 88 = 0 n(n - 11) + 8(n - 11) = 0 n = -8 or n = 11. As n>0, n will not be -8. Therefore, n=11.

Answer : 1. "30,400"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 30,400 Explanation: we can treat every two consecutive terms as one.So, we will have a total of 100 terms of the nature:(2 + 5) + (7 + 6) + (12 + 7).... => 7, 13, 19,.... We know the sum of n terms nn+12 Now, a= 7, d=6 and n=100Hence the sum of the given series is S= 100/2 x[2 x 7 + 99 x 6]=> 50[608]=> 30,400.

Answer : 2. "Father = 40; Son =24"
Explanation :
Answer: B) Father = 40; Son =24 Explanation: Let the present age of the man be 'P' and son be 'Q',Given, P + Q = 64 or Q = (64 - P)Now the man says "I am five times as old as you were, when I was as old as you are",So, P = 5[B - (P - Q)]We get 6P = 10Q,Substitute value for Q,6P = 10(64 - P),Therefore P = 40, Q = 24.
