Question 106
Two vehicles which are 100 km apart are running towards each other in a straight line. In how much time will they meet each other provided they follow a uniform speed of 45 km per hour and 80 km per hour respectively?
Result
Explanation:
Step 1: Calculate the relative speed. Since they are moving towards each other, their speeds add up: 45 km/h + 80 km/h = 125 km/h. Step 2: Calculate the time to meet using the formula Time = Distance / Speed. Time = 100 km / 125 km/h = 0.8 hours. Step 3: Convert hours to minutes: 0.8 hours * 60 minutes/hour = 48 minutes.
Question 107
The price of an article is increased by 20%. Further, there is a tax of 5% on the increment. If the article costs 1,331 to the customer, then what was the price of the article before the increase in price?
Result
Explanation:
Let the original price be P. The new price is 1.20P. The increment is 0.20P. Tax = 5% of the increment = 0.05 * 0.20P = 0.01P. The final cost to the customer is the new price plus the tax: 1.20P + 0.01P = 1.21P. Given 1.21P = 1331, P = 1331 / 1.21 = 1100.
Question 108
A cricket bat is purchased at 20% discount. If the selling price of the bat is 1,000, what was the original price of the bat?
Result
Explanation:
A 20% discount means the selling price (₹1,000) is 80% of the original price. Let the original price be P. Then, 0.80 * P = 1000. To find P, calculate P = 1000 / 0.80 = 1250. The original price was ₹1,250.
Question 109
Suppose, the remainder obtained while dividing x by 61 is 2. What is the remainder obtained while dividing x7 by 61?
Result
Explanation:
This can be solved using modular arithmetic. We are given x ≡ 2 (mod 61). We need to find x7 (mod 61). This is equivalent to 27 (mod 61). Calculate 27 = 128. Now, find the remainder of 128 divided by 61. 128 = (2 * 61) + 6. The remainder is 6.
Question 110
What is the maximal number of spherical balls of radius 1 cm each that can be placed inside a cubical box of height 10 cm?
Result
Explanation:
A ball with a radius of 1 cm has a diameter of 2 cm. A cubical box with a height of 10 cm also has a length and width of 10 cm. Along each dimension, you can fit 10 cm / 2 cm = 5 balls. The total number of balls that can fit is 5 × 5 × 5 = 125.
Question 111
In a city, 80% population eat rice and 90% of the rice eaters are non-vegetarians. Then what percent of the population are vegetarian rice eaters?
Result
Explanation:
If 90% of rice eaters are non-vegetarian, then the remaining 10% of rice eaters must be vegetarian. To find the percentage of the total population, we calculate 10% of the 80% who are rice eaters: 0.10 * 80% = 8%.
Question 112
Two vehicles A and B travel with uniform speed 30 km per hour and 60 km per hour respectively in the same direction. They start at the same time and from the same place for a distance of 120 km. The faster vehicle B reaches the destination and travels back with the same speed. If x is the distance travelled by the slower vehicle A before the two vehicles cross each other, then x is
Result
Explanation:
Time for B to reach the end: 120 km / 60 km/h = 2 hours. In these 2 hours, A travels: 30 km/h * 2 h = 60 km. Now, A is at 60km and B is at 120km, traveling towards each other. The distance between them is 60 km. Their relative speed is 30 + 60 = 90 km/h. Time to meet = 60 km / 90 km/h = 2/3 hours. In this additional time, A travels: 30 km/h * (2/3) h = 20 km. Total distance for A = 60 km + 20 km = 80 km.
