Que. 21 
Water is flowing at the rate of 5 km/h through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a rectangular tank which is 50 m long, 44 m wide. The time taken for the rise in the level of water in the tank to be 7 cm is (in hours)
1. 2
2. 3
3. 2.5
4. 1.5
5. none of these
Answer :- 1
Explanation :-
5 km/h = 5000 m/hr 
Radius of pipe = 14/2 cm = 7 cm = 7/100 m
Volume of Water flowing through the pipe per hour 
= πr²h = 22/7 × 7/100 × 7/100 × 5000 = 77 m³
Water volume can be filled in rectangular tank in an hour 
= length × breadth × height
= 50 × 44 × 7/100 = 154 m³
:. Required time = 154/77 = 2 hours.

Que. 22 
Two men A and B started a job in which A was thrice as good as B and therefore took 60 days less than B to finish the job. How many days will they take to finish the job, if they start working together?
1. 15 days
2. 20 days
3. 22.5 days
4. 25 days
5. None of these
Answer :- 3
Explanation:-
Let,                    A            B
(Efficiency):     3x      :       x
(Time)              x      :       3x
According to Question,
3x – x = 60
:. x = 30
A  = 30 days          
B  = 3×30 = 90 days
A’s 1 day work = 1/30
B’s 1 day work = 1/90
(A+B)’s 1 day work = (1/30 + 1/90) = 4/90
:. (A+B) complete the work in 90/4 days = 22.5 days.
Tricks :-
                      A          B
Efficiency       3    :      1 
Time               1    :      3
2 unit = 60 days
1 unit = 30
A = 30 days
B = 3×30 = 90 days 
LCM = 90
Work done by A = 90/30 = 3
Work done by B = 90/90 = 1
:. They Together finish the work in = 90/(3+1) days = 22.5 days

Que. 23 
Pipe A alone can fill a tank in 8 hours. Pipe B alone can fill it in 6 hours. If both the pipes are opened and after 2 hours pipe A is closed, then the other pipe will fill the tank in
1. 6 hrs
2. 3.5 hrs
3. 4 hrs
4. 2.5 hrs
5. none of these
Answer :- 4
Explanation:-
Pipe A can fill in 2 hours = 2/8 = 1/4
Pipe B can fill in 2 hours = 2/6 = 1/3
Pipe ( A + B) together can fill in 2 hours = 1/4 + 1/3 = 7/12
Remaining part (1-7/12) = 5/12 filled by pipe B.
Time taken by B to fill the remaining part = 6 × 5/12 = 2.5 hours.

Que. 24

1. 2
2. 4
3. 6
4. 8
5. none of these
Answer :- 4
Explanation :-
Let, the numbers are 2x & 3x.
According to question,
(2x + 4)/(3x + 4) = 5/7  
=> 14x + 28 = 15x + 20
=> x = 8
Thus, difference between the numbers = (3x-2x) = x = 8

Que. 25

4. 4 years
5. none of these
Answer :- 3
Explanation:-
Let, the principal = 10x & interest = 3x
R = 6% , T =?
We know,
SI = (P×R×T)/100
=> 3x =( 10x × 6 × T)/100
=> T = 5

Direction( 26 – 30): Read the following information carefully and answer the following questions.

Solution 26 – 30):-
Total students = 220
A : B = 6 : 5
Students in college A = 220 × 6/11 = 120
Students in college B = 220 × 5/11 = 100
Students from Mumbai in college B = 100 × 30/100 = 30
According to statement III,
30 = 3/4 × Students from Patna in college A
:. Students from Patna in college A = 40
Students from Delhi in college B = 40 × 62.5/100 = 25
Students from Patna in B clg : from Mumbai in A clg = 9 : 10
Students from Patna in college B = 100 – ( 30+25) = 45
9 unit = 45
1 unit = 5
10 unit = 50
:. Students from Mumbai in college A = 50
Students from Delhi in college A = 120 – ( 50+40) = 30

Que. 31 
A, B and C are partners. A receives 9/10 of the profit and B and C share the remaining profit equally. A’s income is increased by Rs. 270 when the profit rises from 12 to 15%. Find the capital invested by B and C each respectively are
1. Rs. 500, Rs. 600
2. Rs. 500, Rs. 500
3. Rs. 600, Rs. 500
4. Rs. 600, Rs. 600
5. none of these
 

Answer :- 2
Explanation :-
Profit ratio of A,B and C = 9/10 : 1/20 : 1/20  = 18 : 1 : 1
(15 – 12)% = 270
3% = 270
:. 100% = 9000
We know, profit ratio = capital investment × time
Time is not given here it means time is same for all.
So, 
18 unit = 9000
1 unit = 9000/18 = 500
Thus, Capital invested by B and C each Rs 500 and Rs 500.
 

Que. 32 
In an examination, a student must get 36% marks to pass. A student who gets 190 marks failed by 35 marks. The total marks in that examination is

1. 625
2. 500
3. 450
4. 650
5. None of these
 

Answer :- 1
Explanation :-
According to question,
190 + 35 = 36%

Que. 33 
The population of a town is 15000. If the number of males increases by 8% and that of females by 10%, then the population would increase to 16300. Find the number of females in the town.
1. 4000
2. 3000
3. 6000
4. 5000
5. None of these
 

Answer :- 4
Explanation :-
Let, number of males = x
Number of female = (15000 – x)
After 8 % increase of male ,number of male = x * 108/100 = 27x/25
After 10% increase of female,number of female 
= (15000 – x) * 110/100 = ( 15000 – x ) * 11/10
According to question,
27x/25 + (15000 – x )* 11/10 = 16300
=> 54x + 55 *(15000 – x) = 16300 * 50  (multiplying 50 in both sides)
=>  54x – 55x + 825000 =815000
=> x = 825000 – 815000
:. x = 10000
:. Number of females = (150000 – 10000) = 5000
