Question : The perimeter of the top of a rectangular table is 56 metres and its area is 192 m2. What is the length of its diagonal?
Option 1: 22 metres
Option 2: 20 metres
Option 3: 16 metres
Option 4: 18 metres
Correct Answer: 20 metres
Solution : Given: The perimeter of the top of a rectangular table is 56 metres and its area is 192 m2.
Use the formulas,
Perimeter = $2(l+b)$
Area = $l\times b$
Length of diagonal = $\sqrt{l^2+b^2}$
Where $l$ and $b$ are length and breadth.
Here, $2(l+b)=56$
⇒ $(l+b)=28$
Also, $lb=192$.
We know the identity, $a^2+b^2=(a+b)^2-2ab$.
⇒ $l^2+b^2=(l+b)^2-2lb$
Substitute the values in the above equation,
⇒ $l^2+b^2=(28)^2–2\times 192$
⇒ $l^2+b^2=784–384=400$
The length of its diagonal = $\sqrt{l^2+b^2}$ = $\sqrt{400}$ = 20 m.
Hence, the correct answer is 20 metres.
Question : Parts of the following sentence have been given as options. One of them may contain an error. Select the part that contains the error from the given options. If you don't find any errors, mark 'No error' as your answer.
Both of my parents are dependent on my salary of their living.
Option 1: are dependent on my
Option 2: Both of my parents
Option 3: salary of their living
Option 4: No error
Correct Answer: salary of their living
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Explanation: In the phrase "salary of their living" the error is with the use of "of" instead of "for". The correct preposition "for" should be used to indicate the purpose for which the salary is used.
Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Both of my parents are dependent on my salary for their living.
Question :
Directions: In the following question, you have to identify the correct response from the given premises stated according to the following symbols:
If × means –; – means ×; + means ÷ and ÷ means +; then
(15 – 10) ÷ (130 + 10) × 50 = ?
Option 1: 1800
Option 2: 113
Option 3: 2000
Option 4: 123
Correct Answer: 113
Solution : Given:
× means –; – means ×; + means ÷ and ÷ means +.
(15 – 10) ÷ (130 + 10) × 50 = ?
After replacing the symbols, the equation becomes –
= (15 × 10) + (130 ÷ 10) – 50
= 150 + 13 – 50
= 163 – 50
= 113
So, 113 is the answer to the given equation. Hence, the second option is correct.
Question : A1, A2, and A3 alone can complete a piece of work in 12 hours, 24 hours, and 16 hours respectively. Working together, in how much time will they complete the same work?
Option 1: 5 hours 30 minutes
Option 2: 5 hours 20 minutes
Option 3: 4 hours 20 minutes
Option 4: 3 hours 30 minutes
Correct Answer: 5 hours 20 minutes
Solution : Time taken by A1 to do the work = 12 hours
⇒ 1 day's work of A1 = $\frac{1}{12}$
Time taken by A2 to do the work = 24 hours
⇒ 1 day's work of A2 = $\frac{1}{24}$
Time taken by A3 to do the work = 16 hours
⇒ 1 day's work of A3 = $\frac{1}{16}$
If A1, A2, and A3 work together, work will be done in a day
= $\frac{1}{12}$ + $\frac{1}{24}$ + $\frac{1}{16}$
= $\frac{4+2+3}{48}$
= $\frac{9}{48}$
= $\frac{3}{16}$
So, Time taken by A1, A2, and A3 together to do the work
= $\frac{16}{3}$
= $5\frac{1}{3}$ hours
= 5 hours 20 minutes
Hence, the correct answer is 5 hours 20 minutes.
