Three athletes X, Y and Z start running around a circular track of length 60m from the same point simultaneously in the same direction at speeds of 3 m/s, 5 m/s, and 9 m/s respectively. After how long will they meet for the first time after they started running?
Correct Answer:
C: 60 sec.
Explanation:
Three athletes X, Y and Z start running around a circular track of length 60m from the same point simultaneously in the same direction at speeds of 3 m/s, 5 m/s, and 9 m/s respectively. After how long will they meet for the first time after they started running? Correct Answer 60 sec. Time take by X to cover a circle = 60/3 = 20 sec Time taken by Y to cover a circle = 60/5 = 12 sec Time taken by Z to cover a circle = 60/9 sec So every 20 sec, X will be at the starting point. Every 12 secs Y will be at the starting point. Every 60/9 sec, Z will be at the starting point. Taking their LCM, we get 60. So every 60 sec, all three will be at the starting point. All meet for the first time at the starting point after they start moving after 60 sec.

A man buys some shirts and some ties. Shirts cost Tk. 7 each and the ties cost Tk. 30 each. If the man spends exactly Tk. 810 and buys the maximum number of shirts possible under these conditions, what is the ratio of shirts to ties?
Correct Answer:
C: 3 : 2
Explanation:
A man buys some shirts and some ties. Shirts cost Tk. 7 each and the ties cost Tk. 30 each. If the man spends exactly Tk. 810 and buys the maximum number of shirts possible under these conditions, what is the ratio of shirts to ties? Correct Answer 3 : 2 We can create the equation: 7S + 3T = 81 or,7S = 81 - 3T or,7S = 3(27 - T) or,S = 3(27 - T)/7 The greatest value of S will be obtained when T is as small as possible. The smallest value of T which produces a number divisible by 7 after substitution is 6, so when T is 6 we have: S = 3(21)/7 = 9 So, the ratio of S to T is 9 : 6 = 3 : 2.

Explanation:
A certain company that sells only cars and trucks reported that revenues from car sales in 1997 were down 11 percent from 1996 and revenues from truck sales in 1997 were up 7 percent from 1996. If total revenues from car sales and truck sales in 1997 were up 1 percent from 1996, what is the ratio of revenue from car sales in 1996 to revenue from truck sales in 1996? Correct Answer 1 : 2 Let us say that the revenues from selling cars was 100x and from trucks was 100y in 1996, total revenue: 100x + 100y Revenue in 1997: from cars = 89x and trucks = 107y total revenue = 89x + 107y = 101x + 101y Solving the above total revenue equation we get: 12x = 6y or,x/y = 1/2 ∴x:y = 1:2

Explanation:
In 1995 a certain store had 1,800 tools in stock that had been purchased for Tk. 30 each. If 1,000 of these tools were sold in 1995 for Tk. 40 each and the remaining 800 were sold in 1996 for Tk. 50 each, how much greater was the gross profit on the tools sold in 1996 than of 1995? Correct Answer Tk. 6,000 Cost of 1000 tools = 30 x 1000 = 30000 TK. Cost of 800 tools = 30 x 800 = 2400 TK. Sell in 1995 = 40 x 1000 = 40000 TK Profit in 1995 = 40000 - 30000 = 10000 TK. Sell in 1996 = 50 x 800 = 40000 TK. Profit in 1996 = 40000 - 24000 = 16000 TK. Gross profit difference = 16000 - 10000 = 6000 TK.

Two whole numbers whose sum is 64, cannot be in the ratio :
Correct Answer:
C: 3 : 4
Explanation:
Two whole numbers whose sum is 64, cannot be in the ratio : Correct Answer 3 : 4 The sum of their ratios must be a divisor of 64 i.e 1,2,4,8,12,16, 32 and 64. But, 3 + 4 = 7 which is not one of the divisors. So, the two numbers cannot be in this ratio 3:4.
A father's age was 5 times his son's age 5 years ago and will be 3 times son's age after 2 years. The ratio of their present ages is-
Correct Answer:
C: 10 : 3
Explanation:
A father's age was 5 times his son's age 5 years ago and will be 3 times son's age after 2 years. The ratio of their present ages is- Correct Answer 10 : 3 let, the present ages of the son and the father are a and b, respectively. The age of the father 5 years ago was five times the age of his son. a - 5 = 5(b - 5) or, a – 5 = 5b - 25 ∴ 5b - a = 20 - - - - - - - - - (1) 2 years hence, the father’s age will be thrice that of his son. a + 2 = 3(b + 2) or, a + 2 = 3b + 6 ∴ a – 3b = 4 - - - - - - - - - - - - (2) On adding (1) and (2), we get: 2b = 24 ∴b = 12 Substituting b = 12 in equation (2), we ge, a = 40 Ratio of their present ages = a:b = 40:12 = 10:3 ans: 10:3
