Question : A 252 m long train is running at a speed of 125 km/h. What is the time (in seconds) in which it will pass a man who starts from the engine running at the speed of 17 km/h in the same direction as that of the train?
Option 1: 7.6
Option 2: 8
Option 3: 8.4
Option 4: 6.4
Correct Answer: 8.4
Solution : Given: A 252 m long train is running at a speed of 125 km/h. The speed of the man is 17 km/h. They are going in the same direction. So, their relative speed is (125 – 17) = 108 km/h = 30 m/s So, the
Question : Directions: In the following question you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following symbols. If × means +, + means ÷, – means × and ÷ means –, then 8 × 7 – 8 + 40 ÷ 2 = ?
Option 1: 1
Option 2: $\frac{37}{5}$
Option 3: $8\frac{3}{5}$
Option 4: 44
Correct Answer: $\frac{37}{5}$
Solution : Given: × means +, + means ÷, – means × and ÷ means –. 8 × 7 – 8 + 40 ÷ 2 = ?
On replacing the symbols according to the instructions given, the equation becomes – = 8 + 7 × 8 ÷
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the related number from the given alternatives. 147 : 741 :: 869 : ?
Option 1: 896
Option 2: 968
Option 3: 689
Option 4: 986
Correct Answer: 968
Solution : Given: 147 : 741 :: 869 : ?
Like, (147 : 741); reverse the order of 147→741 Similarly, for (869 : ?); reverse the order of 869→968
So, 968 is related to 869. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : A thief seeing a policeman from a distance of 300 m starts running at a speed of 10 km/h. The policeman gives chase immediately at a speed of 12 km/h and the thief is caught. What is the distance run by the thief?
Option 1: 2 km
Option 2: 2.5 km
Option 3: 3.2 km
Option 4: 1.5 km
Correct Answer: 1.5 km
Solution : The distance between the thief and the policeman = 300 m = 0.3 km The speed of a thief = 10 km/h. The speed of a policeman = 12 km/h. The relative speed = 12 – 10 = 2 km/h. $\text{Time}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{{\text{Speed}}}$ The time =
Question : Directions: Select the letter cluster from among the given options that can replace the question mark (?) in the following series. PQJ, LMF, HIB, DEX, ?
Option 1: ZAV
Option 2: ZBT
Option 3: ZAT
Option 4: ZAU
Correct Answer: ZAT
Solution : Given: PQJ, LMF, HIB, DEX, ?
Subtract 4 from each letter of the given term, to get the required missing term. PQJ→P – 4 = L; Q – 4 = M; J – 4 = J→LMF LMF→L – 4 = H; M – 4 =

Question : If $\tan \frac{\pi}{6}+\sec\frac{\pi}{6}=x$, then find $x$.
Option 1: $\sqrt{3}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Option 3: $\frac{-1}{\sqrt{3}}$
Option 4: $\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$
Correct Answer: $\sqrt{3}$
Solution : Given: $\tan \frac{\pi}{6}+\sec\frac{\pi}{6}=x$ ⇒ $\tan30^\circ+\sec30^\circ=x$ ⇒ $x=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}+\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ ⇒ $x=\frac{3}{\sqrt{3}}$ $\therefore x =\sqrt{3}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\sqrt{3}$.
