1. How many times in a day, are the hands of a clock in straight line but opposite in direction? A. 20 B. 22 C. 24 D. 48 Answer: Option B Explanation: The hands of a clock point in opposite directions (in the same straight line) 11 times in every 12 hours. (Because between 5 and 7 they point in opposite directions at 6 o'clcok only). So, in a day, the hands point in the opposite directions 22 times.

You have to study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is/are necessary to answer the question. 3. What is the speed of the train? I.  The train crosses a tree in 13 seconds. II.  The train crosses a platform of length 250 metres in 27 seconds.  III.  The train crosses another train running in the same direction in 32 seconds. A. I and II only II and III only C. I and III only D. Any two of the three E. None of these Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the speed of the train be x metres/sec. Time taken to cross a tree = Length of the train Speed of the train Time taken to cross a platform = (Length of the train + Length of the Platform) Speed of the train I gives, 13 = l     13x. x II gives 27 = l + 250 x 13x + 250 = 27 x x = 125 m/sec. 7 Thus I and II give the speed of the train.

7.	The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number is:
	A. 20 B. 23 C. 169 D. None of these Answer: Option B Explanation: Let the numbers be x and y. Then, xy = 120 and x2 + y2 = 289. (x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy = 289 + (2 x 120) = 529 x + y = 529 = 23. Learn more problems on : Problems on Numbers Discuss about this problem : Discuss in Forum Rough

Each of the questions given below consists of a question followed by three statements. You have to study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is/are necessary to answer the question.
8.	What is the area of a right-angled triangle? I.  The perimeter of the triangle is 30 cm. II.  The ratio between the base and the height of the triangle is 5 : 12.  III.  The area of the triangle is equal to the area of a rectangle of length 10 cm.
	A. I and II only B. II and III only C. I and III only D. III, and either I or II only E. None of these Answer: Option A Explanation: From II, base : height = 5 : 12. Let base = 5x and height = 12x. Then, hypotenuse = (5x)2 + (12x)2 = 13x. From I, perimeter of the triangle = 30 cm. 5x + 12x + 13x = 30         x = 1. So, base = 5x = 5 cm, height = 12x = 12 cm. Area = 1 x 5 x 12 cm2 = 30 cm2. 2 Thus, I and II together give the answer. Clearly III is redundant, since the breadth of the rectangle is not given. Correct answer is (A).

Robert is travelling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2 P.M. if he travels at 10 kmph, he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at 15 kmph. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 P.M.?

A. 8 kmph B. 11 kmph C. 12 kmph D. 14 kmph Answer: Option C Explanation: Let the distance travelled by x km. Then, x - x = 2 10 15 3x - 2x = 60 x = 60 km. Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr = 60 hrs = 6 hrs. 10 So, Robert started 6 hours before 2 P.M. i.e., at 8 A.M.

12.	A jogger running at 9 kmph alongside a railway track in 240 metres ahead of the engine of a 120 metres long train running at 45 kmph in the same direction. In how much time will the train pass the jogger?
	A. 3.6 sec B. 18 sec C. 36 sec D. 72 sec Answer: Option C Explanation: Speed of train relative to jogger = (45 - 9) km/hr = 36 km/hr.    = 36 x 5 m/sec 18    = 10 m/sec. Distance to be covered = (240 + 120) m = 360 m. Time taken = 360 sec = 36 sec. 10 Learn more problems on : Problems on Trains Discuss about this problem : Discuss in Forum Rough
