8x = 3600

X= 450 .

Value of 50 paise coin = 2 x 450= 900 .

And the number of 50 paise coin s = 900 x 2 = 1800 .

a) 78 km/hr

b) 74 km/hr

c) 82 km/hr

d) 80 km/hr

Answer (b) Explanation:

Let the total time that Sandeep takes to complete the entire journey be t hours

Sandeep spent 20%, 50% and the remaining 30% of the time walking, in the bus and in the cab respectively.

Thus, time spent walking, in the bus and in the cab are 0.2 t, 0.5 t and 0.3 t respectively.

So Average speed=Total distance covered/ Total Time taken

= 20(0.2 t) + 40(0.5 t) + 100(0.3 t)/t = 74 km/hr

20. A bus started its journey from Delhi and reached Panipat in 44 minutes at its average speed of 100 km/hr. If the average speed of the bus is increased by 10km/hour, how much time will it take to cover the same distance?

Suppose Y alone takes x days to do the job.

Then. 8:5::24:x

=> x = 15days

24. Radha wishes to start a 100sq m rectangular vegetable garden. Since he has only 30m wire, he fences three sides of the garden letting his house compound wall act as the fourth side fencing. The dimension of the garden is.

a) 15m * 6.67m           

b) 20m * 5m

c) 30m * 3.33m  

d) 40m * 2.5m

e) None of these

Answer (b) Explanation:

According to question, 2b + L = 30, (as fencing is only for 3 sides)

So, L = 60 – 2b

Now area of the garden = 200 sq m,

L * b =200, OR b*(60 - 2b) = 200

b2 - 15b + 50 = 0,

Now b = 5 & b=10

if b = 5 then L = 20 and if b= 10 then L= 10

Since the garden is rectangular so the dimension would be 20m * 5 m

25. On an average 200 people came to a restaurant on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and the average number of visitors on Thursday and Friday is 250. If the average number of visitors per day in the week be 300, then the average number of people who came  in weekends (i.e., on Saturday and Sunday) is:

The vowels in the group (AE) can also be arranged in 2! Ways

∴ Required number of words = 4!

2! = 48 ways.
