View all articles by Chetana S88) A and
B are shooters and having their exam. A and B fall short of 10 and 2 shots
respectively to the qualifying mark. If each of them fired at least one shot and
even by adding their total score together, they fall short of the qualifying
mark, what is the qualifying mark?
Sol:
Because each had at least 1 shot done so 10 + 1 = 11
And 9 + 2 = 11
So the ans is 11
89) A, B,
C, and D tells the following times by looking at their watches. A tells it is 3
to 12. B tells it is 3 past 12 . C tells it is 12:2. D tells it is half a dozen
too soon to 12. No two watches show the same time. The difference between the
watches is 2,3,4,5 respectively. Whose watch shows maximum time?
Sol: A
shows 11:57, B shows 12:03, C shows 12:02 and D shows 11:06 therefore,
Max
time is for B
90)
Falling height is proportional to square of the time. One object falls 64cm in
2sec than in 6sec from how much height the object will fall.
Sol: The
falling height is proportional to the square of the time.
Now, the falling height is 64cm at 2sec
So, the proportional constant is=64/
(2*2) =16;
So, at 6sec the object fall maximum (16*6*6)
cm=576cm;
Now, the object may be situated at any where.
If it is>576 only that time the object
falling 576cm within 6sec .Otherwise if it is situated<576
then it fall only that height at 6sec.

95) Anand
finishes a work in 7 days; Bittu finishes the same job in 8 days and Chandu in

the second and Chandu on the third day and then Anand again and so on. On which
day will the work get over?
a) 3rd b) 6th c) 9th d) 7th
In d 1st day Anand does 1/7th
of total work
Similarly,
Bithu does 1/8th work in d 2nd
day
Hence at the end of 3
days, work done = 1/7+1/8+1/6=73/168
Remaining work = (168-73)/168 =
95/168
Again after 6 days of work,
remaining work is = (95-73)/168 = 22/168
And hence Anand completes
the work on 7th day.
Ans is d) 7th day
