Description : Faucet A basically used as inlet pipe and Faucet B is used as outlet pipe. Faucet A and B both are opened simultaneously, all the time. When Faucet A fills the tank and Faucet B empty the tank, it will take thrice the ... efficiency of Faucet A and Faucet B respectively? a) 1:2 b) 2:1 c) 1:3 d) 3:1

Last Answer : B Efficiency when both pipes used to fill = A + B And efficiency when Faucet A is used to fill and Faucet B is used to empty the tank = A-B So (A+B)/(A-B)=3/1 A/B+1/(A/B-1)=3/1 A/B+1=3(A/B-1) 3A/B-A/B=4 2A/B=4 A/B=2 Thus, the ratio of efficiency of Faucet A and B =2:1

Description : Two trains of equal lengths take 10 seconds and 15 seconds respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each train be 120 metres, in what time (in seconds) will they cross each other travelling in opposite direction? A.12 sec B.18 sec C.14 sec D.25 sec E.None of these

Last Answer : Answer – A (12 sec) Explanation – Speed of the first train = [120 / 10] m/sec = 12 m/sec. Speed of the second train = [120 / 15] m/sec = 8 m/sec. Relative speed = (12 + 8) = m/sec = 20 m/sec. ∴ Required time = (120 + 120) / 20 secc = 12 sec

A cistern is filled in 15 hours by three pipes P, Q and R. The pipe R is thrice as fast as Q and Q is thrice as fast as P. How much time will pipe P alone take to fill the tank? A) 120 hrs B) 195 hrs C) 135 hrs D) Cannot be determined

Description : A cistern is filled in 15 hours by three pipes P, Q and R. The pipe R is thrice as fast as Q and Q is thrice as fast as P. How much time will pipe P alone take to fill the tank? A) 120 hrs B) 195 hrs C) 135 hrs D) Cannot be determined 

Last Answer : B Suppose pipe P alone takes x hours to fill the tank. Then, pipes Q and R will take x/3 and x/9hours respectively to fill the tank. 1/x + 3/x + 9/x = 1/15 13/x = 1/15 => x = 195 hrs.

Last Answer : Answer – D (16) Explanation – L.C.M. of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 120.So, the bells will toll together after every 120 seconds, i.e, 2 minutes.In 30 minutes, they will toll together 30/2 + 1 = 16

A tank has two faucet which fill it in 15 mins and 18 mins respectively. There is also a waste faucet in the tank. When all the 3 are opened the empty tank is full in 25 mins. How long the waste faucet take to empty the full tank? A) 450/17 mins B) 450/28 mins C) 450/37 mins D) 450/22 mins

Description : A tank has two faucet which fill it in 15 mins and 18 mins respectively. There is also a waste faucet in the tank. When all the 3 are opened the empty tank is full in 25 mins. How long the waste faucet take to empty the full tank? A) 450/17 mins B) 450/28 mins C) 450/37 mins D) 450/22 mins

Last Answer : C Work done by the waste faucet in 1 minute =>1/25 – (1/15 + 1/18) =>1/25 – (6+5/90) = 1/25 – 11/90 => - 37/450 Here negative sign means emptying Therefore waste faucet will empty the full tank in 450/37 mins.

Present ages of A and B are 50 years and 18 years respectively. In how many years will A be twice as old as B? a) 14 years b) 15 years c) 16 years d) 18 years e) None of these

Description : Present ages of A and B are 50 years and 18 years respectively. In how many years will A be twice as old as B? a) 14 years b) 15 years c) 16 years d) 18 years e) None of these

Last Answer : Let the required time be x years. then (50+x) = 2 (18 + x) = 50 + x = 36 + 2x  x = 14 years. Alternative method : Double of B’s age = 2 × 18 = 36 years difference between A’s present age and double of B’s age = 50 – 36= 14 years. A will be twice of B’s age after 14 years. Answer: a)
