Question 11
A fast typist can type some matter in 2 hours and a slow typist can type the same in 3 hours. If both type combine, in how much time will they finish?
A. 2.15 hr
B. 1.12 hr
C. 1.23 hr
D. 1.45 hr
Ans. B
Explanation:
The fast typist's work done in 1 hr = 1/2 The slow typist's work done in 1 hr = 1/3 If they work combine , work done in 1 hr = 1/2+1/3 = 5/6 So, the work will be completed in 6/5 hours. i.e., 1+1/5 hours = 1hr 12 min
Question 12
Gavaskar's average in his first 50 innings was 50. After the 51st innings, his average was 51. How many runs did he score in his 51st innings. (supposing that he lost his wicket in his 51st innings)
A. 101

Explanation:
Total score after 50 innings = 50*50 = 2500 Total score after 51 innings = 51*51 = 2601 So, runs made in the 51st innings = 2601-2500 = 101 If he had not lost his wicket in his 51st innings, he would have scored an unbeaten 50 in his 51st innings.
Question 13

A. 35393
B. 35392
C. 35352
D. 35329
Ans. B
Explanation:
The number closest to 100 which is greater than 100 and divisible by 14 is 112, which is the first term of the series which has to be summed. The number closest to 1000 which is less than 1000 and divisible by 14 is 994, which is the last term of the series. 112 + 126 + .... + 994 = 14(8+9+ ... + 71) = 35392

C. 35 ½ kmph
D. 38 kmph
Ans. A
Explanation:
Time reqd for the first 60 km = 120 min.; Time reqd for the second 60 km = 72 min.; Total time reqd = 192 min Avg speed = (60*120)/192 = 37 1/2
Question 17

Question 20
At a party, everyone shook hands with everybody else. There were 66 handshakes. How many people were at the party?
A. 11
B. 12
C. 10
D. 13
Ans. A
Explanation:
With two people, there is one handshake. With three people, there are three handshakes. With four people, there are six handshakes. In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+...+n. Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66. This is the quadratic equation n2+n-132 = 0. Solving for n, we obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party
