Question : A boat takes 4 hours to travel from a place X to Y downstream and back from Y to X upstream. If the distance from X to Y is 10.5 km, and the speed of the current is 9 km/hr, then the speed of the boat in still water, in km/hr, is:
Option 1: $10 \frac{1}{2}$
Option 2: $15$
Option 3: $12$
Option 4: $12 \frac{1}{2}$
Correct Answer: $12$
Solution : Let the speed of the boat be $s$ km/hr. Speed of current = 9 km/hr Distance between X and Y = 10.5 km Upstream speed = $(s-9)$ km/hr Downstream speed = $(s+9)$ km/hr According to the question, $\frac{10.5}{(s-9)} + \frac{10.5}{(s+9)} = 4$ ⇒ $\frac{10.5(s+9 +
Question : Directions: Two different positions of the same dice are shown, the six faces of which are numbered from 1 to 6. Select the number that will be on the face opposite to the one showing 5.
Option 1: 6
Option 2: 4
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 1
Correct Answer: 2

Correct Answer: 19 : 11
Solution : Given: Ratio of alcohol and water in the first glass = 2 : 1 The ratio of alcohol and water in the second glass = 3 : 2 Let the quantity of mixture in each glass be 1 unit. Alcohol in the first
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the one that is different from the other three alternatives.
Option 1: 8465
Option 2: 2643
Option 3: 4867
Option 4: 6243
Correct Answer: 2643
Solution : Let's check the given options – First option: 8465; Divide the number into two halves→84/65; Now, subtract them→84 – 65 = 19 Second option: 2643; Divide the number into two halves→26/43; Now, subtract them→43 – 26 = 17 Third option: 4867; Divide the number into
Question : Directions: In the following question, select the number that can be placed at the sign of the question mark (?) from the given alternatives.
Option 1: 38
Option 2: 40
Option 3: 42
Option 4: 44
Correct Answer: 44
Solution : Add the number of row one to the number of row three then multiply the resultant by the number of row two, to get the number of the fourth row.
In column one: (7 + 5) × 6 = 12 × 6 = 72 In
Question : Directions: If A denotes +, B denotes ×, C denotes –, and D denotes ÷, then what will come in place of (?) in the following equation? 22 B 2 A 81 D 3 C 16 = ?
Option 1: 52
Option 2: 50
Option 3: 55
Option 4: 57
Correct Answer: 55
Solution : Given: 22 B 2 A 81 D 3 C 16 = ?
On replacing the alphabet, with mathematical signs we get – = 22 × 2 + 81 ÷ 3 – 16 = 22 × 2 + 27 – 16 = 44 + 27 –
Question : If $x= a-b, y=b-c, z=c-a$, then the numerical value of the algebraic expression $x^3+y^3+z^3-3xyz$ will be:
Option 1: $a + b + c$
Option 2: $0$
Option 3: $4(a + b + c)$
Option 4: $3abc$
Correct Answer: $0$
Solution : Given: $x= (a-b), y=(b-c), z=(c-a)$ $⇒x+y+z=a-b+b-c+c-a=0$ We know that, if $ x+y+z=0$, then $x^3+y^3+z^3 -3xyz =0$ Because, $x^3+y^3+z^3 -3xyz = (x+y+z) (x^2+y^2+z^2-xy-yz-zx)$ Hence, the correct answer is $0$.
Question : Directions: Abhinav started running from his house, he first ran for 12 km towards the west, then turned towards the north and ran 16 km in that direction. How far is Abhinav from his house, and in which direction?
Option 1: 13 km south
Option 2: 13 km North
Option 3: 15 km West
Option 4: 20 km North-West
Correct Answer: 20 km North-West
Solution : Firstly, we will draw the diagram as per the given instructions –
Now, we will find the distance between Abhinav's final position and his house.
By applying the Pythagoras theorem – AC2 = AB2 + BC2 AC2 = 12
