MATHEMATICS SECTION

1. A train passes a station platform in 36 sec. and a man standing on the platform in 20 If the speed of the train is 54 Km/hr, what is the length of the train?

A. 120 m

B. 300 m

C. 500 m

D. 240 m

E. None of these

Solution: B

(Note): When a train passes a man/object, the distance travelled by the train while passing that object, would be equal to the length of the train.

(Note): When a train passes a platform or a long object, the distance travelled by the train, while crossing that object, would be equal to the sum of the lengths of the train and length of that object.

Let the lengths of the train and the platform are ‘x’ metres and ‘y’ metres

respectively, then

We know that, formula- Speed = Distance/Time

When the train crosses the platform, 36=x+y54×518=x+y15

⇒ x + y = 15 × 36 = 540 metres……………………………. (1)

When the train crosses the man 20=x54×518

⇒ x = 300 metres………………………………………… (2)

Solving equations (1) and (2) we get, X = 300 metres and Y = 240 metres.

Hence the length of the train is 300 metres.

2. Which of the following are prime numbers?

A. 241

B. 303

C. 111

D. 121

E. None of these

Solution: A

To check if a number is prime or not, we find a value which is slightly more than or equal to the square root of the number.

Then, we start dividing the number; from 2 for all prime numbers up to the square root of the number.

If it is divisible by any prime number, we see that it is not prime. Hence checking for 241, the nearest number of square root will be 16 Hence, we check if 241 is divisible by any of 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13.

Since it does not, it is a prime number.

3. Look at this series: 7,14,20,40,52,104. What number should come next?

A. 148

B. 208

C. 116

D. 122

E. None of these

Solution: D

This is an alternating multiplication by 2 and addition by the series of table of 6:

7 × 2 = 14

14 + 6 = 20

20 × 2 = 40

40 + (6 × 2) = 52

52 × 2 = 104

104 + (6 × 3) = 122.

Hence, next number in the series is 122.

4. Find the average of the following set of scores? 221, 231, 441, 359, 665, 525

A. 399

B. 428

C. 407

D. 415

E. None of these

Solution: C

Average of n numbers is sum of n numbers divided by n.

∴ Sum of given 6 numbers = 221 + 231 + 441+ 359 + 665 + 525 = 2442

⇒ Average of given 6 numbers = 2442/6 = 407

5. A man’s basic pay for a 40 hours’ week is $200. Overtimes is paid at 25% above the basic rate. In a certain week, he worked overtime and his total was $300. He therefore, worked for a total of (in hours):

A. 52

B. 56

C. 58

D. 62

E. 60

Solution: B

Basic pay per hour of normal work = 200/40 = $5

Over time is paid at 25% more = (125/100) × 5 =$6.25 per hour

Man was paid $200 for his regular work and $100 for over time (total

$300).

Number of regular hours = 40

Number of overtime hours at 6.25 per hour = 100 ÷ 6.25 = 16 hours. Total number of hours worked = 40+16 = 56 hours.
