Question Detail
A flagstaff 17.5 metre high casts a shadow of length 40.25 metre. The height of building, which casts a shadow of length 28.75 metre under similar conditions will be :
- 12 metre
- 12.5 metre
- 13.5 metre
- 14 metre
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Less shadow, Less Height (Direct Proportion)
So, let height of building be x metre
then,
\begin{aligned}
40.25 : 17.5 :: 28.75 : x \\
=> x = \frac{17.5*28.75}{40.25} \\
=> x = 12.5
\end{aligned}
So height of building should be 12.5 metre
1. In a camp, there is a meal for 120 men or 200 children. If 150 children have taken the meal, how many men will be catered to with the remaining meal ?
- 38 men
- 32 men
- 34 men
- 30 men
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
There is meal for 200 children. 150 children have taken the meal.
Remaining meal is to be catered to 50 children.
Now, 200 children = 120 men
So, 50 Children = 120/200 * 50 = 30 men
2. 4 mat-weavers can weave 4 mats in 4 days. At the same rate, how many mats would be woven by 8 mat weavers in 8 days ?
- 12
- 14
- 16
- 18
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Please always remember, that what exactly we need to calculate before applying chain formula. As in this question we need to find how many mats, RIGHT !
So we will compare everything with "number of mats"
As,
More men, More number of mats (Direct Proportion)
More days, More number of mats (Direct Proportion)
So, it can be solved as,
\begin{aligned}
\begin{bmatrix}Weavers & 4 & 8 \\Days & 4 & 8 \end{bmatrix} :: 4 : x \\
=> x*4*4 = 8*8*4 \\
=> x = 16
\end{aligned}
3. An industrial loom weaves 0.128 metres of cloth every second. Approximately, how many seconds will it take for the loom to weave 25 metre of cloth ?
- 194 seconds
- 195 seconds
- 196 seconds
- 197 seconds
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the time required by x seconds.
Then, More cloth means More time (Direct Proportion)
So,
\begin{aligned}
0.128 : 1 :: 25 : x
=> x = \frac{25*1}{0.128} \\
=> x = 195.31
\end{aligned}
So time will be approx 195 seconds
4. 10 men, working 6 hours a day can complete a work in 18 days. How many hours a day must 15 men work to complete the work in 12 days ?
- 4 hours a day
- 5 hours a day
- 6 hours a day
- 7 hours a day
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
More Men, Less Hours {Indirect Proportion}
Less Days, More Hours {Indirect Proportion}
\begin{aligned}
\begin{bmatrix}Men & 15 & 10 \\Days & 12 & 18 \end{bmatrix} :: 6 : x \\
=> x * 15 * 12 = 10 * 18 * 6 \\
=> x = \frac{10*18*6}{15*12} \\
=> x = 6
\end{aligned}
5. If a quarter kg of potato costs 60 paise, how many paise will 200gm cost ?
- 45 paise
- 46 paise
- 47 paise
- 48 paise
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Quarter of Kg means 250 gm
Less weight, less price (Direct Proportion)
So,
\begin{aligned}
250:200 :: 60:x \\
=> x = \frac{200*60}{250} \\
=> x = 48
\end{aligned}
So 200 gm will cost 48 paise.
