1. In a
zoo, there was a cheetah and a tiger walking in 2 different rings of same
radii. Ramu observed that when cheetah moved 3 steps, tiger moved 5 steps in
the same time, but the distance traversed by cheetah in 5 steps equals to the
distance traversed by tiger in 4 steps. What is the number of rounds that a
cheetah made when tiger completed 100 rounds?

2) 48
3) 75
4) 65
5) None
2. Devnath
express left Ajmer for Goa. 2 hours later Gopalpur express left from Ajmer to Goa.
Both trains reached Goa simultaneously. If Devnath express had started from
Ajmer and Gopalpur express had started from Goa at the same time and travelled
towards each other they would meet in 1 h 20 min. find the time taken by
Devnath express to travel from Ajmer to Goa in hours?
1) 5

headed to Pune and john to Goa and both cities are 600 km distant. Roy rests
while john is on the move and john rests while roy is on the move. Roy’s

only
3) 2 and 4
only
4) 2 and 3
only
5) None
7. Two boys
begin together to write out note containing 535 lines. The first boy starts
with the first line, writing at the rate of 100 lines an hour; and the second
starts with the last line then writes line 534 and so on, backward proceeding
at the rate of 50 lines an hour. At what line will they meet?
1) 356
2) 277
3) 357
4) 267

5) None
Answers & Solutions – Tap to show
1. Ans-2
Ratio of
speeds=ratio of distances when time is constant
Ratio of
distances by cheetah and tiger=12:25
Ratio of
rounds made = 12:25
Hence
cheetah makes 48 rounds when tiger makes 100 (multiplied by 4)
2. Ans-3
Let Devnath
express takes x hours and Gopalpur express takes x-2 hours
1/x
+1/(x-2) 
=60/80=>x=4h
3. Ans-2
In case of
increasing gap between 2 objects,
Speed of
sound/speed of cheetah=time utilized/difference in time
=>1327/x=83/7
=>x=111.91
kmph
4. Ans-4
Time taken
by roy=36 h
Ideal time
required by roy= 600/25=24h
roy rests
for 36-24=12h
Required
time for john=600/30=20h
But john
utilized those 12 hours in which roy rests, so he needs only 20-12 = 8 hours
extra
Thus total
time by john=36+8=44
5. Ans-2
Goods α
workers 2
               α  num of machines ½
           α 
hours
200  α  42
*41/2 * 8 =16x2x8=256
200=k256
K
=200/256=25/32
6. Ans-4
3 fill
pipes cancel out 2 drain pipes. We need extra 4 fill pipes to fill the tank in
5 hours. so the answer has to be 5k + 4.
Both 54 and 29 are possible.

7. Ans-3
Writing
ratio = 100 : 50 = 2 : 1
As equal quantities are taken, in a given time, first boy will be writing the
line number 
2/3*535=356
2/3

 or the 357th line

Hence, both of them shall meet on 357th line
