Question : The given bar graph shows the number of students of two schools over six years. In the bar graph, what is the ratio of the average of the total students from school A to the average of the total students from school B?
Option 1: 429 : 799
Option 2: 429 : 370
Option 3: 799 : 429
Option 4: 370 : 429
Correct Answer: 429 : 370
Solution : According to the question, Average number of students in A $=\frac{640 + 800 + 500 + 700 + 900 + 750}{6}=\frac{4290}{6}$ Average number of students in B $=\frac{550 + 820 + 600 + 750 + 500 + 480}{6}=\frac{3700}{6}$ ⇒ Required ratio = $\frac{\frac{4290}{6}
Question : Tapas works twice as fast as Mihir. If both of them together complete a work in 12 days, Tapas alone can complete it in:
Option 1: 15 days
Option 2: 18 days
Option 3: 20 days
Option 4: 24 days
Correct Answer: 18 days
Solution : Let $x$ be the number of days Tapas takes to complete the whole work. So, Mihir takes = 2$x$ days According to the question, $\frac{1}{x}+\frac{1}{2x}=\frac{1}{12}$ $⇒\frac{2+1}{2x}=\frac{1}{12}$ $\therefore x$ = $\frac{3×12}{2}$ = 18 days Hence, the correct answer is 18 days.

Question : If the diagonals of a Rhombus are 16 cm and 30 cm. What is the perimeter (in cm) of the Rhombus?
Option 1: 32
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 34
Option 4: 68
Correct Answer: 68
Solution : The diagonals of a Rhombus are 16 cm and 30 cm. We know diagonals perpendicularly bisect each other in a Rhombus. Side of Rhombus = hypotenuse of the triangle formed by the halves of the diagonals. Side of Rhombus = $\sqrt{(\frac{16}{2})^{2}+ (\frac{30}{2})^{2}}$ Side = $\sqrt{82+152}

Question : A motorcyclist left $6\frac{6}{9}$ minutes later than the scheduled time but to reach its destination 21 km away on time, he had to increase his speed by 12 km/hr from the usual speed. What is the usual speed (in km/h) of the motorcyclist?
Option 1: 28
Option 2: 35
Option 3: 42
Option 4: 64
Correct Answer: 42
Solution : Distance = 21 km Let the usual speed of a motorcyclist be $x$ km/hr. Time taken, t1 = $\frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}}$ = $\frac{21}{x}$ When left late by $6\frac{6}{9}$ min = $\frac{1}{9}$hr, Time, t2 = travel time + waiting time = $\frac{21}{(x+12)}+\frac{1}{9}$ According to the question,
