  3.    4.18
  4.    3.15
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 3.15


Distance walked in three weeks = (21*150)/1000 km

= 3.15 Km


Question 422. The area of square is thrice the area of a rectangle. If the area of the square is 225 sq.cms and the length of the rectangle is 15cms. What is the difference between the breadth of the rectangle and the side of the square?
  1.    8 cms
  2.    10 cms
  3.    12 cms
  4.    6 cms
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 10 cms


Area of rectangle = 225/3 = 75 sq.cm

Breadth of rectangle = Area/Length  =  75/15  = 5 cm

Side of the square = square root(Area) = square root(225)  = 15 cm

Required difference = 15 - 5 = 10 cm.


Question 423. The average of four consecutive odd numbers A, B, C and D respectively is 24. What is the product of B and D ?
  1.    483
  2.    675
  3.    621
  4.    525
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 621


x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 4 * 24

=> 4x + 12 = 96

=> 4x = 96 - 12 = 84 

x = 84/4 = 21

B = 21 + 2 = 23

D = x + 6= 21 + 6 = 27

B * D = 23 * 27 = 621


Question 424. A truck covers a certain distance in 12 hours at the speed of 70 kms/hr. What is the average speed of a car which travels a distance of 120 kms more then the truck in the same time?
  1.    76 km/hr
  2.    85 km/hr
  3.    82 km/hr
  4.    78 km/hr
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> None of these


Distance covered by truck in 12 hours = speed * time

= 70 * 12 = 840 km

Distance covered by car in 12 hours = 840 + 120 = 960 km

Average speed of car = Distance covered/ time taken

= 960/12 = 80kmph


Question 425. Find the average of the following set of scores ________

125, 236, 334, 486, 564, 625, 625, 702, 800 

  1.    448
  2.    482
  3.    524
  4.    542
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> None of these


Required average = (125 + 336 + 334 + 486 + 564 + 625 + 702 + 800 )/8 = 3872/8  =  484


Question 426. In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'BELIEVE' be arranged ?
  1.    840
  2.    1680
  3.    2520
  4.    5040
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 840


The word BELIEVE consist of 7 letters in which E comes thrice

Required number of arrangements  =  (7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 )/ (3 * 2 * 1 )       =  840


Question 427. A 420 meter long train crosses a pole in 70 seconds. What is the speed of the train?
  1.    5 m/s
  2.    7 m/s
  3.    4.5 m/s
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option E. -> None of these


Speed of train = Length of train/Time taken in crossing the pole   = 420 /75 = 6 m /sec


Question 428. The simple interest accrued 9 years on a principal of Rs. 24250 is 162 percent of the principal. What is the rate of interest p.c.p.a?
  1.    22
  2.    16
  3.    18
  4.    Cannot be determined
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 18


Interest/Principal  = 162/100

Rate = (Interest/Principal)  * (100/Time)

= (162/100) * (100/9) = 18 % per annum


Question 429. Neela, Saroj and Paulami start running around a circular stadium and complete one round in 10 seconds, 6 seconds and 14 seconds respectively. In how much time will they meet again at the starting point?
  1.    3 minutes 30 seconds
  2.    2 minutes 28 seconds
  3.    4 minutes 45 seconds
  4.    1 minute 40 seconds

Question 430. The compound interest accrued on an amount at the end of two years at the rate or of 16 p.c.p.a is Rs. 3041.28. What is the amount?
  1.    Rs. 10500
  2.    Rs. 9000
  3.    Rs. 7250
  4.    Rs. 8800
  5.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 8800


C.I = P[(1 + R/100)T - 1]
=>3041.28 = P[(1 + 16/100)T - 1]
=> 3041.28 = P[(29/25)2 - 1]
=> 3041.28 = P[841/625 - 1]
=> 3041.28 = P[216/625]
=> P = 3041.28 * 625/216
P = 8800
