In an Engineering College number of Professors: Lecturers:
Asst. Lecturers is in the ratio 1: 8: 11. They are paid salary in the
ratio 11:8:6. If the monthly salary of Asst. lecturers is Rs.24000
and number of Asst. Lecturers is 220, how much more salary
does a Professor gets when compared to a Lecturer.

Rs.10000

Rs.12000 +
Rs.14000
None of these.
Answer Explanation:
Number of Asst. Lecturers 220.
Let the total number of Professors, Lecturers and Asst. Lecturers
be P
Also, Professors: Lecturers: Asst. Lecturers is in the ratio 1: 8:
11
Therefore 11 / ( 1 + 8 + 11) x P = 220
Or P = 220 x 20/11 = 400
Number of Lecturers - 8 / ( 1 + 8 + 11) x P = 8 / 20 x 400 = 160
Number of Professors - 1 / ( 1 + 8 + 11) x P = 1 / 20 x 400 = 20
Let S represent the sum of salaries of a Professor, Lecturer and
Assistant Lecturer.
Ratio of their salaries = 11:8:6
It is given that, Salary of Asst. Lecturers - Rs.24000 p.m.
Therefore, 6 / (11 + 8 + 6) x S = 24000
Or S = 24000 x 25 / 6 = 100000
Now we have to find the difference in salaries of a Professor and
Lecturer
Salary of a Professor = 11 / (11 + 8 + 6) x S
Salary of a Lecturer = 8 / (11 + 8 + 6) x S
Salary of Professor - Salary of a Lecturer = 11 / (11 + 8 + 6) x S
- 8 / (11 + 8 + 6) x S = 3 / (11 + 8 + 6) x S = 3 / (11 + 8 + 6) x
100000 = Rs 12000 per month.

The present age of Visakh, father of Nisha is 3 years more than
three times the age of his daughter. Three years hence, Visakhs
age will be 10 years more than twice the age of Nisha. Find the
present age of Visakh.


44 years
55 years
66 years
33 years+
Answer Explanation:
Let F be the age of the father and let N be the age of Nisha
It is given that father of Nisha is 3 years more than three times
the age of his daughter. Therefore we have, F = 3N + 3 -> eq 1
After 3 years, Visakhs age will be 10 years more than twice the
age of Nisha. This can be represented as F + 3 = 2(N+3) + 10 ->
eq 2
Substituting eq 1 in eq 2, we get, 3N + 3 +3 = 2N + 6 + 10
3N 2 N = 16 6 = 10
N = 10. Therefore, Nishas present age = 10.
From eq 1, Present age of Visakh = 3N + 3 = 3 x 10 + 3 = 33
years

The sum of age of Hariram and his wife Aishwarya is 49.
Hariram is twice as old as Aishwarya was the day he was the
age she is today. Find the present age of Hariram.



28 +
42
68
none of these.
Answer Explanation:
Let the age of Hariram be H and that of Aishwarya be A
As sum of age of Hariram and his wife Aishwarya is 49, we
have, H + A = 49 ..(1)
Let before x years Hariraj's age was equal to present age of
Aishwarya. Therefore H - x = A or x = H - A -> eq 2
Aishwarya's age before x years = A - x
Hariram is twice as old as Aishwarya was the day he was the
age she is today. This means, Hariram's current age is twice that
of Aishwarya's age before x years.
In other words, H = 2[ A x]
Substituting the value of x from eq 2 in above equation we get,
H = 2[ A (H-A)]
H = 4A - 2H
4A - 3 H = 0 -> eq 3
3A + 3 H = 147 (1) multiplied by 3
Adding above two equations, we get, 7 A = 147
A = 21
H = 28
Therefore Hariram's current age is 28 years

Stalin Raj is twice as old as Arunagiri Raj but was thrice as old
as Arunagiri Raj ten years back. Present age of Stalin Raj and
Arunagiri Raj is:
20, 40
40,20 +
60,40
40, 60
Answer Explanation:
Let the ages of Stalin Raj and Arunagiri Raj be S and A
respectively.
As Stalin Raj is twice as old as Arunagiri Raj, we have, S = 2 A
-> eq 1
10 years before Stalin Raj was thrice as old as Arunagiri Raj.
Therefore, (S-10) = 3 (A-10) -> eq 2
Substituting eq 1 in eq 2, we get, 2A -10 = 3A - 30 or
A = 20 and
S = 40
Stalin Raj and Arunagiri Raj are 40 and 20 years old

A prominent Transport company has been running call taxi
service for the last five years. The business has been going on
improving steadily. A Tata Indigo call taxi started from Salem at
7.30 am and was running at an average speed of 40 km per hour.
The call taxi had some break down issues and could not run
from 8.30 am to 9.30 am. Thereafter the Indigo call taxi ran at
30 km per hour. At 11.30 am Poornima Transports sent another
Innova call taxi with an important parcel to be handed over to
Tata Indigo call taxi driver. Innova call taxi travelled at 55
km/hour to catch up with Indigo. The driver was successful in
catching up and he handed over the parcel to the other driver.
Find the time of delivering the parcel.

3 pm
3.30 pm +
4.30 pm
none of these.
Answer Explanation:
Tata Indigo has run initially for one hour (from 7.30 am to 8.30
am) at 40 km/hour. Distance travelled during this one hour - 40
km -> eq 1
Thereafter it has run for 2 hours at 30 Km/hr (from 9.30 to
11.30) before Innova started . Distance travelled during this 2
hours = 30 x 2 = 60 km. -> eq 2
Total distance travelled by Indigo before the Innova car started =
40 + 60 = 100 km -> eq 3 (adding equations 1 and 2)
Innova car has crossed the Indigo car in 4 hours.
Innova travelled at 55 Km/hr.
Relative speed of Innova with respect to Indigo = Speed of
Innova - Speed of Indigo = 55 - 30 = 25 Km/hr
Hence time taken by Innova to meet Indigo = time taken to
cover 100 Km (refer eq 3) travelling at 25 Km/hr = 100/25 = 4
Hence, it has taken 4 hours from 11.30 to deliver the parcel
which means that the parcel was delivered at 3.30 pm.

Call Taxi No 112 started running from Chennai to Vijayawada
at an uniform speed of 60 km per hour for 2 hours and stopped
enroute at 9 am in Ongole. From Ongole, another Call Taxi No
114 started running towards Vijayawada at 9 am at uniform
speed of 30 km/hour. At 11 am Call Taxi No 112 resumed
running from Ongole towards Vijayawada at 60 km per hour.
Call Taxi 112 will cross Call Taxi 114?


1 pm +
2 pm
3 pm
4 pm
Answer Explanation:
First sentence is only for information.
From Ongole call taxi 114 runs at 30 km per hour and has run
for 2 hours 60 km before call taxi 112 starts at 11 am.
Taxi 112 runs at average speed of 60 km per hour.
Relative speed of Taxi 112 with respect to 114 = Speed of 112
taxi - Speed of 114 taxi = 60 - 30 = 30 km per hour.
Time taken for taxi's to meet = Distance between the taxi's when
Taxi 112 started from Ongole / Relative speed of Taxi 112 =
60/30 = 2 hours.
Hence after 2 hours since 11 am, the taxi's will meet. In other
words, taxi's will meet at 1 pm.

Ramakanth and his son went to a ball shop. There were 37 balls
in the shop. Out of these one ball alone was weighing 6 gms
whereas the other balls weighed 7 gms. How many minimum
weighings are required to find out the 6 gm ball.( You are given
a balance with two pans for weighing.)

3
4 +
5
not possible to determine.
Answer Explanation:
1. Divide balls into three groups of 12, 12 and 13 balls each.Put
one set of 12 balls into one pan and another set of 12 balls in
another pan.Assume one pan shows lesser weight than the
other.(a pan will go up and the other down).Discard the balls in
the pan weighing more and the13 balls. .The ball weighing 6
gms has to be one among the 12 balls that were there in the pan
that weighed less.
2.Now divide the 12 balls into 4,4 and 4. Put one set of 4 balls
and another set of 4 balls in each pan. In case one of them
weighs less
3.Divide 4 into 2 and 2. Put them in two pans with 2 balls each
from this lot. One pan will weight less.
4.Take the balls from the pan weighing less and then weigh one
in each pan. The ball in the pan going up is the lesser weighing
ball.(6 gm). So, in this case minimum 4 weighings are required

England cricket captain and Indian cricket team captain went to
a ball shop in Chennai. There they were told that there are 22
balls and out of them one weighs 15 gms whereas other balls
weigh 16 gms. They were given a balance with two pans for
weighing. How many minimum weighings are required by them
to find out the ball weighing 15 gms.

3 +
4
2
none of these.
Answer Explanation:
1. Divide the balls into groups of 7, 7 and 8 balls each. Put the 7
balls in one pan and another set of 7 balls in another pan.
Assume one pan goes up indicating that there is a ball which
weighs 15 gms.(lesser weighing ball)
2. Discard the balls in the pan weighing more. Also discard the
group of 8 balls set aside. Divide 7 balls in lesser weighing pan
into 2,2 and 3. From these put 2 balls in one pan and another set
of 2 balls in another pan.
3. Assume both weigh same. Then the lighter ball has to be one
among the 3 balls set aside. So in third weighing put one ball in
one pan and another ball from these in another pan. If one pan
goes up then the ball in that pan is weighing 15 gms. If they
weigh same then the third ball in this lot is the lighter ball.

Ramesh Khanna wanted to buy 87 balls of the same weight
say 12 gms each. In a shop that he visited they were showing 88
balls. Out of them one weighed 14 gms and all others weighed
12 gms. How many minimum weighings are required to find out
the heavier ball?

5 +
none of these.
Answer Explanation:
Now in this problem we are going to use a shortcut which we
haven't used in the above two problems. We could had said this
earlier, but knowing the formula after knowing the actual
solution would make you more knowledgeable and equipped to
solve these kinds of problems.
If the number of objects (balls in our example) is > 3^n-1 and
<= 3^n, then n weighings would be required to find the one odd
object (ball) that will be weighing lesser or heavier than the rest.
Based on the above formula, for determining lighter or heavier
one ball among 9 balls (3^2 balls) 2 weighings are required.
For determining lighter or heavier one ball from 10 to 27 balls
(3^3 balls) 3 weighings are required. From 28 to 81 4
weighings are required. From 82 to 243 balls 5 weighings are
required. (follow the same principle of dividing into three parts.)

A Transport bus started from Bangalore Central Bus Terminal at
5 am and travelled at an average speed of 50 km per hour till
7.30 am. This bus halted at the on-way hotel for breakfast till
8.30 am and travelled at an average speed of 30 km per hour
thereafter till its destination. Another express bus started from
Bangalore Central Bus Terminal at 11 am and travelled at an
average speed of X km per hour. The Express bus crossed the
transport bus at 4 pm on the same day. Find the value of X?



60 km/hour
70 km/hour +
80 km/hour
40 km/hour
Answer Explanation:
Distance which first bus has run for 2 1/2 hours (from 5 am to
7.30 am) at the rate of 50 km per hour = 125 km -> eq 1
Thereafter it has run from 8.30 am. At 11 am the second bus has
started.
Distance run by first bus for another 2 1/2 hour from 8.30 am to
11 am at the rate of 30 km/hour = 75 km. -> eq 2
So by the time the second bus starts at 11 am the first bus has
travelled 200 km. (adding equations 1 and 2)
The second bus crosses the first bus at 4 pm. i.e. after 5 hours
since it started at 11 am. In other words, the second bus with its
relative speed has covered 200 Kms in 5 hours.
Relative speed of second bus with respect to first = 200/5 = 40
Km/hr
But, Relative Speed = Speed of Second Bus - Speed of First Bus
Or Relative Speed + Speed of First Bus = Speed of Second Bus
We all know that the speed of first bus 30 km per hour.
Therefore, Speed of Second Bus = 40 + 30 = 70 Km/hr

Kumars age will be 12 years more than twice the age of his
daughter after 4 years. Find the present age of Naresh Kumar.
28+
32
36
40
Answer Explanation:
Let the age of daughter be x years. Then Naresh Kumars age
will be 4x + 4
Therefore (4x + 4 + 4) = 2 (x + 4) + 12
4x + 8 = 2x + 8 + 12
2 x = 12.
x = 6
Age of Naresh Kumar now = 4x + 4 = (4 X 6) + 4 = 28
