111. An employee’s wages is Rs.30/hour upto 40 hours. Overtime is twice the regular wages. If he was paid Rs. 1680, how many hours overtime did he work?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 8 hours

Explanation Let's calculate: Regular wages for 40 hours = 40 * Rs. 30 = Rs. 1200 Total wages received = Rs. 1680 Overtime wages = Rs. 1680 - Rs. 1200 = Rs. 480 Overtime wage rate = 2 * Rs. 30 = Rs. 60/hour Number of overtime hours = Overtime wages / Overtime wage rate = Rs. 480 / Rs. 60 = 8 hours

112. A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days, B can C in 8 days and C and A in 6 days. How long would B take to do the same work alone?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 48

Explanation Given: Time taken by A and B to complete the work = 12 days Time taken by B and C to complete the work = 8 days Time taken by C and A to complete the work = 6 days Formulae used: Time = Total work / Efficiency Calculation: Let us assume the total work is 1 unit. ⇒ A and B complete 1 unit work in 12 days → (A and B)'s 1 day's work = 1/12 ​ ⇒ B and C complete 1 unit work in 8 days → (B and C)'s 1 day's work = 1/ 8 ​ ⇒ A and C complete 1 unit work in 6 days → (A and C)'s 1 day's work = 1/ 6 ​ Adding everyone's 1 day's work: ⇒ 2 ( A + B + C ) =( 1/12 ​) +(1/ 8) ​ +(1/ 6) ​ ⇒ A + B + C =9/48 ​ = A, B, and C's 1 day's work = 9/48 ⇒ B's 1 day's work = ( A + B + C ) − ( A + C ) ⇒ B's 1 day's work =(9/48) −(1/6) = 9-8 x/48 = 1/ 48 ​ ​ ⇒ B completes 1/ 48 ​ of the work in 1 day. Therefore, B alone will take 48 days to complete the work.

113. A man can row downstream at 18 kmph and upstream at 10 kmph. Find the speed of the man in still water and the speed of stream respectively?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 14, 4

Explanation Let: - Speed of man in still water = x km/h - Speed of stream = y km/h --- Formulas: - Downstream speed = x + y = 18 - Upstream speed = x - y = 10 --- Adding both equations: (x + y) + (x - y) = 18 + 10 2x = 28 x = 14 km/h (speed of man in still water) --- Finding y: x + y = 18 14 + y = 18 y = 4 km/h (speed of stream)

114. A washer man irons 4 shirts in 12 minutes. How many shirts he ironed in one hour?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 20

Explanation To find how many shirts the washerman can iron in one hour (60 minutes), we can use the given rate: The washerman irons 4 shirts in 12 minutes. Now, let's find how many sets of 12 minutes are there in 60 minutes: 60 ​/12 = 5 Since he can iron 4 shirts in 12 minutes, in 60 minutes he can iron: 4 × 5 = 20 shirts

115. Ali walks 5km east, then 4 km north, How far is he from starting point?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 6.4 kms

Explanation Ali’s displacement can be found using the Pythagorean theorem: Distance = √(5² + 4²) = √(25 + 16) = √41 ≈ 6.4 km

116. If an object falls 27m and rebounds two-thirds, what is the total distance?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 105m

Explanation The object first falls 27m. On each rebound, it rises and falls two-thirds of the previous distance: Fall = 27m First rebound = 2 / 3 × 27 = 18 m 2/3 times 27 = 18m (up and down = 18 + 18 = 36 m 18 + 18 = 36m ) Second rebound = 2 / 3 × 18 = 12 m 2/3 times 18 = 12m (up and down = 12 + 12 = 24 m 12 + 12 = 24m ) Total distance = 27 + 36 + 24 = 105m 27 + 36 + 24 = 105 m .

117. The total distance of a journey is 120 km. If one goes by 60 km/h and comes back at 40 km/h. What is the average speed during the journey?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 48 km/h

Explanation To find the average speed: Total distance = 120 km * 2 (to and fro) = 240 km Time taken to go = 120 km / 60 km/h = 2 hours Time taken to return = 120 km / 40 km/h = 3 hours Total time = 2 + 3 = 5 hours Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 240 km / 5 hours = 48 km/h

118. One mile is equal to how many kilometers?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 1.609

Explanation 1 km = 0.62137119 miles 0.62137119 miles ∼ 0.62 miles ∴ 1 km = 0.62 miles Additional Information Miles to Kilometres = Miles × 8/5 (Approximately) Kilometers to Miles = Km × 5/8 (Approximately)

119. If 42 women can do a work in 18 days, how many women will do the same work in 21 days?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 36

Explanation To find the answer, we calculate the total work: 42 women x 18 days = 756 woman-days Since the work remains the same, we divide the total work by 21 days: 756 woman-days ÷ 21 days = 36 women So, 36 women can do the same work in 21 days.

120. Twelve children take sixteen days to complete a work which can be completed by eight adults in twelve days. Sixteen adults started working and after three days, ten adults left and four children joined them. How many days will they take to complete the remaining work?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 6 days

Explanation Work done by 12 children in 16 days = 1 (full work) Work done by 1 child in 16 days = 1/12 Work done by 1 child in 1 day = 1/(12 × 16) = 1/192 Work done by 8 adults in 12 days = 1 Work done by 1 adult in 12 days = 1/8 Work done by 1 adult in 1 day = 1/(8 × 12) = 1/96 Work done by 16 adults in 3 days = 16 × 3 × (1/96) = 1/2 Remaining work = 1 - 1/2 = 1/2 Now, 6 adults and 4 children work together: Work done by 6 adults in 1 day = 6 × 1/96 = 6/96 = 1/16 Work done by 4 children in 1 day = 4 × 1/192 = 4/192 = 1/48 Total work done per day = (1/16 + 1/48) = (3 + 1)/48 = 4/48 = 1/12 Days required = (1/2) ÷ (1/12) = 6 days
