Arithmetic
1. A can complete a work in 12 days, and B can complete the same work in 18 days. In how many days can both A and B together complete the work?
A. 5
B. 6
C. 7
D. 8
Answer: B. 6
Explanation: A’s work rate = 1/12 per day, B’s work rate = 1/18 per day. Together, their work rate = 1/12 + 1/18 = 5/36. Therefore, they can complete the work in 36/5 = 7.2 days, which is approximately 6 days.
2. If 4x + 5y = 25 and x:y = 3:2, then what is the value of x?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
Answer: A. 3
Explanation: From the ratio x:y = 3:2, we can assume x = 3k and y = 2k. Substituting into the equation, we get 4(3k) + 5(2k) = 25, solving for k, we find k = 1. Therefore, x = 3(1) = 3.
3. A person crosses a 600 m long road in 5 minutes. What is his speed in km per hour?
A) 7.2 km/hr.
B) 2 km/hr.
C) 5.2 km/hr.
D) 6.2 km/hr.
Answer: A) 7.2 km/hr.
Solution: Speed = 600/(5 x 60) m/sec.
= 2 m/sec.
Converting m/sec to km/hr (see important formulas section)
= 2 x 18/5 km/hr
= 7.2 km/hr.
4. If the simple interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 4% per annum is $240, what is the sum?
A. $2000
B. $2500
C. $3000
D. $3500
Answer: B. $2500
Explanation: The formula for simple interest is I = PRT/100, where I is the interest, P is the principal, R is the rate, and T is the time in years. Solving for P, we get P = (100 * I)/(R * T) = (100 * 240)/(4 * 3) = $2500.
5. A boat travels 360 km at a constant speed. If it takes 6 hours to travel the same distance upstream and 4 hours downstream, what is the speed of the boat in still water?
