- A metallic sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 42 m x 28 m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 6 m, the volume of the box is:
2880 m 32450 m 32640 m 32340 m 3NoneOption A
Solution:
l = (42 – 12)m = 30 m, [6+6 = 12] b = (28 -12)m = 16 m,
h = 6 m.
Volume of the box = (30 x 16 x 6) m cube
= 2880 m 3.
- A boat running downstream covers 28 kms in 4 hours, while for covering the same distance upstream it takes 7 hours. What is the speed of the boat in still water?
7km/hr8.5km/hr6km/hr5.5km/hrNoneOption D
Solution:
Downstream speed=28/4=7km/hr
Upstream speed=28/7=4km/hr
Speed of the boat in still water=(7+4)/2
=11/2=5.5km/hr.
- If the compound interest on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum be Rs. 2448, what would be the simple interest on the same sum for 2 years at the same rate?
Rs2110Rs2400Rs2650Rs2520NoneOption B

- The average price of 10 books is Rs.12 while the average price of 8 of these books is Rs.11.75. Of the remaining two books, if the price of one book is 60% more than the price of the other, what is the price of each of these two books?
Rs18, Rs8Rs15, Rs11Rs10, Rs16Rs12, Rs14NoneOption C
Solution:
Total cost of 10 books = Rs. 120.
Total cost of 8 books = Rs. 94.
The cost of 2 books = Rs. 26.
Let the price of each book be x and y.
x + y =26
Given that the price of 1 book is 60% more than the other price
100x+160x=26
260x=26
X=10
then y=26-10=16.
- A spider climbed 125/2% of the height of the pole in one hour and in the next hour it covered 25/2% of the remaining height. If pole’s height is 192 m, then the distance climed in second hour is
12m6m9m15mNoneOption C
Solution:
Height of the Pole = 192 m.
Spider covered in first hour,
= 125/2 % of 192.
= (125 *192)/(2*100)
= 120 m.
Remaining pole = 192 – 120 = 72 m.
Spider covered in Second hour,
= 25/2 % of remaining height.
= (25*72)/(2*100)
= 9 m.
- A bag contains an equal number of one rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise coins. If the total value is Rs. 42, how many coins of each type are there?

4X + 2X + X = 42*4.
7X = 42*4.
X = 24.
