Question : A policeman spots a thief at a distance of 200 m and starts chasing him. While the policeman runs at a speed of 9 km/hr, the thief runs at a speed of 7 km/hr. After how long will the policeman catch the thief?
Option 1: 6 minutes
Option 2: 3 minutes
Option 3: 10 minutes
Option 4: 5 minutes
Correct Answer: 6 minutes
Solution : Relative speed of policeman = Speed of the policeman - Speed of the thief = 9 km/hr – 7 km/hr = 2 km/hr The policeman has to cover a relative distance of 200 m (0.2 Km) to catch the thief. So, Time = $\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 - operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying, etc., to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed.) (4, 3, 49) (5, 4, 81)
Option 1: (6, 2, 36)
Option 2: (5, 4, 100)
Option 3: (7, 5, 121)
Option 4: (6, 5, 121)
Correct Answer: (6, 5, 121)
Solution : Given: (4, 3, 49); (5, 4, 81)
In the above-given sets, add the first and second numbers and then find the square of the result to obtain the third number. (4, 3, 49)→4 + 3 = 7; 72 = 49 (5, 4,
Question : In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$B = 35°, $\angle$C = 65° and the bisector of $\angle$BAC meets BC in D. Then $\angle$ADB is:
Option 1: 40°
Option 2: 75°
Option 3: 90°
Option 4: 105°
Correct Answer: 105°
Solution : Given: In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$B = 35°, $\angle$C = 65° So, $\angle$A = 180° – 35° – 65° = 80° The bisector of $\angle$BAC meets BC in D. ∴ $\angle$BAD = $\frac{1}{2}×\angle$A = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 80° = 40° Therefore $\angle$ADB = 180° – $\angle$BAD – $\angle$B

Option 2: 7 and 5
Option 3: 25 and 7
Option 4: 5 and 2
Correct Answer: 5 and 2

Question : By selling a fan for Rs. 600, a man loses 10%. To make a gain of 20%, the selling price of the fan should be:
Option 1: Rs. 900
Option 2: Rs. 1000
Option 3: Rs. 700
Option 4: Rs. 800
Correct Answer: Rs. 800
Solution : Here CP denotes cost price and SP denotes selling price. CP = SP$(\frac{100}{100-Loss\%})$ ⇒ CP = 600$(\frac{100}{100-10})$ ⇒ CP = 600$(\frac{100}{90})$ ⇒ CP = Rs. $\frac{6000}{9}$ SP = CP$(\frac{100+Profit\%}{100})$ ⇒ SP = $\frac{6000}{9}(\frac{100+20}{100})$ ⇒ SP = $\frac{6000}{9}(\frac{120}{100})$ ⇒ SP = Rs. 800 Hence, the
Question : Two boats are travelling at the speed of 36 km/hr and 54 km/hr respectively towards each other. What will be the distance between the two boats one second before they collide?
Option 1: 40 metres
Option 2: 35 metres
Option 3: 25 metres
Option 4: 15 metres
Correct Answer: 25 metres
Solution : Given: Two boats are travelling at the speed of 36 km/hr and 54 km/hr respectively towards each other. Convert km/hr into m/s by multiplying $\frac{5}{18}$ 36 km/hr = 36 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = 10 m/s 54 km/hr = 54 × $\frac{5}{18}$ = 15 m/s Use
