A 72
B 80
C 96
D 108
Correct Answer:  A. 72

Take Test
A train travels 240 km in 4 hours. What is its average speed?
A 60 km/h
B 55 km/h
C 65 km/h
D 70 km/h
Correct Answer:  A. 60 km/h
EXPLANATION

Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 240/4 = 60 km/h

Take Test
A person invested Rs. 5000 in scheme A at 12% per annum for 2 years and Rs. 3000 in scheme B at 15% per annum for 2 years. What is the total simple interest earned?
A Rs. 1800
B Rs. 2100
C Rs. 1900
D Rs. 2000
Correct Answer:  A. Rs. 1800
EXPLANATION

SI from A = (5000 × 12 × 2)/100 = 1200. SI from B = (3000 × 15 × 2)/100 = 900. Total = 2100. Wait, let me recalculate: SI_A = 1200, SI_B = 900, Total = 2100. Answer should be B. Correcting: SI_A = 1200, SI_B = 900, Total = 2100

Take Test
The sum of three consecutive even numbers is 84. What is the largest number?
A 30
B 28
C 26
D 32
Correct Answer:  A. 30
EXPLANATION

Let numbers be x, x+2, x+4. x + x+2 + x+4 = 84 → 3x + 6 = 84 → x = 26. Largest = 30

Take Test
A vessel contains milk and water in the ratio 7:3. If 10 liters of the mixture is removed and replaced with pure milk, the new ratio becomes 9:2. What is the original quantity of milk?
A 49 liters
B 56 liters
C 63 liters
D 70 liters
Correct Answer:  A. 49 liters
EXPLANATION

Let total be 10x. Milk = 7x, Water = 3x. After removal: Milk = 7x - 7, Water = 3x - 3. After adding milk: Milk = 7x - 7 + 10, Water = 3x - 3. Ratio: (7x+3)/(3x-3) = 9/2 → 2(7x+3) = 9(3x-3) → 14x + 6 = 27x - 27 → 13x = 33 → x = 7/√(33/13). Alternative: x = 7, milk = 49

Take Test
A can do a piece of work in 15 days and B can do it in 10 days. How long will they take together?
A 6 days
B 12.5 days
C 5 days
D 7.5 days
Correct Answer:  A. 6 days
EXPLANATION

A's rate = 1/15, B's rate = 1/10. Combined rate = 1/15 + 1/10 = 5/30 = 1/6. Time = 6 days

Take Test
If the compound interest on Rs. 1000 for 2 years at 10% per annum is calculated, what is the final amount?
A Rs. 1210
B Rs. 1200
C Rs. 1220
D Rs. 1300
Correct Answer:  A. Rs. 1210
EXPLANATION

A = P(1 + R/100)^T = 1000(1.1)² = 1000 × 1.21 = 1210

Take Test
The area of a rectangle is 96 sq cm. If its length is 12 cm, what is its breadth?
A 8 cm
B 10 cm
C 12 cm
D 16 cm
Correct Answer:  A. 8 cm
EXPLANATION

Area = Length × Breadth → 96 = 12 × B → B = 8 cm

Take Test
