Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 10 hours and 15 hours respectively. If both pipes are opened together, in how many hours will the tank be filled?
A 5 hours
B 6 hours
C 7.5 hours
D 8 hours

Q.702 Easy Numbers
A man travels 120 km in 8 hours. If he increases his speed by 25%, how much distance will he cover in 5 hours?
A 75 km
B 93.75 km
C 100 km
D 112.5 km
Correct Answer:  B. 93.75 km
EXPLANATION

Original speed = 120/8 = 15 km/h. New speed = 15 × 1.25 = 18.75 km/h. Distance in 5 hours = 18.75 × 5 = 93.75 km

Q.703 Easy Numbers
A shopkeeper marks goods 40% above cost price and gives a discount of 20%. What is his profit percentage?
A 12%
B 20%
C 18%
D 15%
Correct Answer:  A. 12%
EXPLANATION

SP = MP × (100-discount%)/100 = CP × 1.4 × 0.8 = 1.12CP. Profit% = 12%

Q.704 Hard Numbers
A four-digit number is formed by repeating a two-digit number (e.g., if the two-digit number is 23, the four-digit number is 2323). This four-digit number is always divisible by which of the following?
A 7 only
B 11 and 101
C 13 only
D 17 and 19
Correct Answer:  B. 11 and 101
EXPLANATION

Let the two-digit number be AB (value = 10A + B). The four-digit number ABAB = 1000A + 100B + 10A + B = 1010A + 101B = 101(10A + B) = 101 × AB. Also, ABAB = 1100A + 11B = 11(100A + B). So it's always divisible by both 11 and 101.

Q.705 Medium Numbers
The sum of three consecutive integers is 54. If the smallest of these integers is multiplied by 3 and then 5 is added, what is the result?
A 56
B 58
C 59
D 61
Correct Answer:  A. 56
EXPLANATION

Let three consecutive integers be n, n+1, n+2. Sum: n + (n+1) + (n+2) = 54, so 3n + 3 = 54, 3n = 51, n = 17. The smallest number is 17. Required result: 3(17) + 5 = 51 + 5 = 56.

Test
Q.706 Medium Numbers
The product of two consecutive odd numbers is 483. What is the sum of these two numbers?
A 43
B 44
C 45
D 46
Correct Answer:  B. 44
EXPLANATION

Let the two consecutive odd numbers be (2n-1) and (2n+1). Their product: (2n-1)(2n+1) = 483. This gives 4n² - 1 = 483, so 4n² = 484, n² = 121, n = 11. The numbers are 21 and 23. Sum = 21 + 23 = 44.

Test
Q.707 Easy Numbers
Find the value of (2⁵ × 3⁴)/(2³ × 3²).
A 18
B 36
C 54
D 72
Correct Answer:  B. 36
EXPLANATION

Using exponent rules: (2⁵ × 3⁴)/(2³ × 3²) = 2^(5-3) × 3^(4-2) = 2² × 3² = 4 × 9 = 36.

Test
Q.708 Easy Numbers
If the sum of digits of a number is divisible by 3, then the number is divisible by 3. Which of the following is divisible by 3?
A 121
B 122
C 123
D 124
Correct Answer:  C. 123
EXPLANATION

Check sum of digits: 121: 1+2+1 = 4 (not divisible by 3), 122: 1+2+2 = 5 (not divisible by 3), 123: 1+2+3 = 6 (divisible by 3) ✓, 124: 1+2+4 = 7 (not divisible by 3). Therefore 123 is divisible by 3.

Test
Q.709 Medium Numbers
The LCM of two numbers is 48 and their HCF is 4. If one number is 16, find the other number.
A 12
B 24
C 8
D 32
Correct Answer:  A. 12
EXPLANATION

Use the formula: HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers. So 4 × 48 = 16 × other number. Therefore 192 = 16 × other number, which gives other number = 192/16 = 12.

Test
Q.710 Easy Numbers
Find the HCF of 48, 64, and 80.
A 8
B 12
C 16
D 20
Correct Answer:  C. 16
EXPLANATION

Prime factorization: 48 = 2⁴ × 3, 64 = 2⁶, 80 = 2⁴ × 5. HCF is the product of lowest powers of common prime factors. Only 2 is common to all. Lowest power of 2 is 2⁴ = 16. Therefore, HCF = 16.
