20913.The average age of 8 persons in a committee is increased by 2 years when two men aged 35 years and 45 years are substituted by two women. The average age of these two women is:
34
40
48
none
Explanation:

According to the question,

Total age increased due to substitution is:8 $\times$ 2=16.

Removed total:45+35=80;

Added total:80+16=96;

Hence the required Average:96/2=48.

20914.Five different roads join a village to nearby city. The no. of different ways in which a person can go to town and come back is?
5
20
25
None of these
Explanation:

If we choose 1st road, to come back we have 5 ways.

Similarly for 2nd,3rd,4th,5th road.

So, totally we have 5+5+5+5+5=25ways.

20915.Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Kunal and Sagar was 6: 5. Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11: 10. What is Sagars age at present?
16 years
18 years
20 years
Cannot be determined
Explanation:

Let the ages of Kunal and sagar be x and y respectively.

According to the equation, (x-6)/(y-6) =6/5.

=> (x+4)/(y+4) =11/10.

After solving we get y=16.

20916.How many 4-letter words with or without meaning, can be formed out of the letters of the word, LOGARITHMS, if repetition of letters is not allowed?
40
400
5040
2520
Explanation:

The Word LOGARITHMS contain 10 letters.

To find how many 4 letter word we can find from that = 10 $\times$ 9 $\times$ 8 $\times$ 7 = 5040.

20917.I bought 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers. Rajan bought 6 pens, 8 erasers and 14 pencils for an amount which was half more than what I had paid. What percent of the total amount paid by me was paid for the pens?
61.25%
61%
62.5%
60%
Explanation:

Assume P is the cost of one pen, C is cost of one Pencil & E is cost of one Eraser.

Let cost of 5 pens, 7 pencils and 4 erasers be X.

then, 5P + 7C + 4E = X ------------(i)

Rajan has bought 6 pens, 14 pencils and 8 erasers at 1.5x cost (half more than mine)

=> 6P + 14C + 8E = 1.5X ------------(ii)

Multiplying Equation 1 by 2 and subtracting 2nd equation from it:

10P + 14C + 8E = 2X

6P + 14C + 8E = 1.5X

----------------------------

4P = 0.5X

=> P = 0.5X/4

Total amount paid by me for pens = 5P= 0.5X/4 $\times$ 5 = 2.5X/4

Percent of the total amount paid by me for the pens = {(2.5X/4)/X} $\times$ 100 = 62.5%.

20918.If 3/p = 6 and 3/q = 15 then p - q =?
1/3
2/5
3/10
5/6
Explanation:

Given, 3/p = 6 and 3/q = 15

=> p=3/6 = 1/2

=> q=3/15 = 1/5

Hence, p-q = 1/2 - 1/5 = 5 - 2/10 = 3/10.

20919.The sum of the squares of three numbers is 138, while the sum of their products taken two at a time is 131. Their sum is:
20
30
40
None of these
Explanation:

Let the three numbers be a, b and c.

According to the given condition

=>$ a^2 + b^2 + c^2 $= 138.

ANd, ab + bc + ca = 131.

Now, we know that $(a+b+c) ^2$ =$a^2 + b^2 + c^2$ + 2(ab+bc+ca)

On taking values we get$ (a+b+c) ^2$ = 138 + 2(131) = 400

=> a + b + c = 20.

20920.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.?
8 kmph
11 kmph
12 kmph
14 kmph
Explanation:

Let the distance travelled by x km.

=> x/10 - x/15 = 2

=> x=60

Time taken to travel 60 km at 10 km/hr. = 60/10 = 6hrs.

So, Robert started 6 hours before 2 P.M. i.e., at 8 A.M.

Hence, the Required speed = 60/5 = 12kmph.

20921.In a two-digit, if it is known that its units digit exceeds its tens digit by 2 and that the product of the given number and the sum of its digits is equal to 144, then the number is:
24
26
42
46
Explanation:

Let the tens digit be x,

Then, the unit digit is x+2

As per the condition,

=>(10x+x+2) $\times$ (2x+2) =144

=>(11x+2) $\times$ (2x+2) =144

Solving, x=2(the tens digit)

Unit digit is 4

Hence the required number is 24.

20922.If a person having 1000 Rs and he want to distribute this to his five children in the manner that each son having 20 rs more than the younger one, what will be the share of youngest child?
160
150
155
120
Explanation:

Assume first child (the youngest) get = x Rs.

According to the question ;

each son having 20 rs more than the younger one

2nd child will get = x + 20 Rs

3rd child will get = x + 20 + 20 = x + 40 Rs

4th child will get = x + 20 + 20 + 20 = x + 60 Rs

5th child will get = x + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = x + 80 Rs

Total amount they got = 1000 Rs

=> x + (x+20) + (x+40) + (x+60) + (x+80) = 1000

=> 5x + 200 = 1000

=> 5x = 800

=> x = 160 Rs.

So, the youngest child will get 160 Rs.
