211. A train covers 12 kilometers in one hour. How many hours will it take to cover 48 kilometers?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 4 hours

Explanation Speed = 12 km/h → Distance ÷ Speed = Time → 48 ÷ 12 = 4 hours .

212. Ahmad reads 24 pages of a book in 15 minutes .The rate of pages reads per minute by him will be

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 1.6

Explanation Given: - Pages read = 24 - Time = 15 minutes Rate = Pages ÷ Time = 24 ÷ 15 = 1.6 pages per minute

213. 12 water pumps can make a water tank empty in 20 minutes. But 2 pumps are out of order. How long will the remaining pumps take to make the tank empty?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 24 minutes

Explanation Since 12 pumps can empty the tank in 20 minutes, the rate at which they empty the tank is 1 tank / 20 minutes. With 2 pumps out of order, we have 12 - 2 = 10 pumps left. Since the rate is directly proportional to the number of pumps, the rate of the remaining 10 pumps is: 10/12 × (1 tank / 20 minutes) = 1 tank / 24 minutes So, the remaining 10 pumps will take 24 minutes to empty the tank.

214. A can complete a work alone in 10 days. A & B together complete it in 8 days. How many days can B alone complete the same work?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 40 days

Explanation Step 1: A’s 1-day work A =1/ 10 ​ of work per day Step 2: A + B’s 1-day work A + B = 1/8 ​ of work per day Step 3: B’s 1-day work B = ( A + B ) − A = 1 /8 − 1/10 ​ Find LCM of 8 and 10 = 40: 1/8 ​ =5/ 40 ​ , 1/10 ​ = 4/ 40 ​ B = 5/ 40 ​ − 4/ 40 ​ =1/ 40 of work per day Step 4: Days B alone will take Days = 1/ B’s 1-day work ​ =1/1/ 40 ​ = 40 days

215. A train travels 60 km in 1 hour. What is its speed?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 60 km/h

Explanation Given: Distance = 60 km Time = 1 hour Formula: Speed = Distance/ Time ​ Calculation: Speed = 60/1 ​ = 60 km/h

216. In a bank there are 8 people. A financial issue has come up which will take the regular staff 36 hours to resolve the issue. Considering all the staff work at the same pace, how many additional workers would be needed to complete the work in 8 hours?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 28

Explanation Work = Number of workers × Time Let’s find the total work in worker-hours: - 8 workers × 36 hours = 288 worker-hours Now, to finish the work in 8 hours, let’s find how many total workers are needed: - 288 ÷ 8 = 36 workers We already have 8 workers, so additional workers needed: - 36 − 8 = 28

217. There are 8 mango trees in a straight line Distance between each tree is 3 meters. What is the distance between the first tree and the eighth tree?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 21

Explanation Since there are 8 mango trees , and the distance between each tree is 3 meters, the total distance between the first tree and the eighth tree would be: 7 gaps (between 8 trees) x 3 meters per gap = 21 meters So, the distance between the first tree and the eighth tree is 21 meters!

218. A car washer can wash 8 cars in 18 minutes. At this rate, how many cars can be washed In 3 hrs?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 80

Explanation 8 cars / 18 minutes = x cars / 180 minutes (3 hours) x = (8 * 180) / 18 x = 80 So, the correct answer is 80 .

219. Three bell toll at 8min,15min, 24min respectively.They toll together at 5pm. When they will toll at same time?

تین بیل ٹول بالترتیب 8 منٹ، 15 منٹ، 24 منٹ پر۔ وہ شام 5 بجے ایک ساتھ ٹول کرتے ہیں۔ جب وہ ایک ہی وقت میں ٹول کریں گے؟

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 7:00

Explanation To find when the bells will toll together again, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the time intervals between their tolls. The time intervals between their tolls are: 8 minutes, 15 minutes, and 24 minutes. The LCM of 8, 15, and 24 is 120. So, the bells will toll together again after 120 minutes, which is 2 hours. If they tolled together at 5:00 PM, then they will toll together again at 7:00 PM.

220. At present, Ali's age is double the age of Anwar. After 6 years, the ratio of their ages will be 23:13. What is Ali’s current age?

Check answer and explanation

Answer: 40 years

Explanation Let Anwar's current age = x Then Ali's current age = 2x After 6 years: Ali's age = 2x + 6 Anwar's age = x + 6 According to question: (2x + 6)/(x + 6) = 23/13 Cross-multiplied: 13(2x + 6) = 23(x + 6) 26x + 78 = 23x + 138 26x - 23x = 138 - 78 3x = 60 x = 20 Ali’s age = 2x = 40 years
