Question : If 450 men can finish the construction of an apartment in 20 days, then how many men are needed to complete the same work in 30 days?
Option 1: 150
Option 2: 300
Option 3: 400
Option 4: 250
Correct Answer: 300
Solution : We know, $M_1D_1= M_2D_2,$ Where, $M_1$ and $M_2$ are men and $D1$ and $D_2$ are days. 450 men can finish the construction of an apartment in 20 days. Here, $M_1=450, D_1=20,$ and $D_2=30$ So, $450×20=M_2×30$ $\therefore M_2=300$ Hence, the correct answer is 300.
Question : The speed of a boat in still water is $5 \frac{1}{3} \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}$. It is found that the boat takes thrice as much time to row up as it does to row down the same distance in the river stream. Find the speed of the river stream.
Option 1: $\frac{23}{27}$ m/sec
Option 2: $\frac{22}{27}$ m/sec
Option 3: $\frac{20}{27}$ m/sec
Option 4: $\frac{19}{27}$ m/sec
Correct Answer: $\frac{20}{27}$ m/sec
Solution : Given, The speed of a boat in still water = $5 \frac{1}{3}$ km/hr = $\frac{16}{3}$ km/hr Let the speed of the stream be $x$ km/hr. Let the time taken to row along the stream $t$ hours. Then, the time taken to row against the

Question : Two concentric circles are drawn with radii of 20 cm and 16 cm. What will be the length of a chord of the larger circle which is tangent to the smaller circle?
Option 1: 34 cm
Option 2: 24 cm
Option 3: 48 cm
Option 4: 12 cm
Correct Answer: 24 cm
Solution :
As BOC is a right-angled triangle at C, Applying Pythagoras theorem, ⇒ $(BO)^2 = (CO)^2 + (BC)^2$ ⇒ $(20)^2 = (16)^2 + (BC)^2$ ⇒ $400 = 256 + BC^2$ ⇒ $BC = \sqrt{\text{400 – 256}}$ ⇒ $BC = \sqrt{144}$ ⇒ $BC = 12$ $\therefore
