10 women and 5 girls can do the same work ?

A.31 days
B.30 days
C.33 days
D.32 days

ANS:D
Explanation:

Given that 5 women is equal to 8 girls to complete a work so, 10 women=16

girls. Therefore 10women +5girls=16girls+5girls=21girls. 8 girls can do a
work in 84 days then 21 girls= (8*84/21)=32days. Therefore 10 women and 5
girls can a work in 32days

D.76

ANS:B

Explanation:

If men is fixed,work is proportional to time. If work is fixed, then time is

inversely proportional to men therefore, (M1*T1/W1)=(M2*T2/W2) From the
above formula i.e (m1*t1/w1)=(m2*t2/w2) so (9*6*88/1)=(6*8*d/1) on
solving, d=99 days.

the old man was 70 - 25 = 45 kgs

Q15. A man can row 4.5 km/hr in still water. It takes him twice as long to
row upstream as to row downstream. What is the rate of the current ?

A.3.5 km/hr
B.2.5 km/hr.
C.4.5 km/hr.
D.1.5 km/hr

ANS:D

Explanation:

Speed of boat in still water (b) = 4.5 km/hr. Speed of boat with stream (Down
Stream), D = b + u Speed of boat against stream (Up stream), U = b u It is
given upstream time is twice to that of down stream. Downstream speed is
twice to that of upstream. So b + u = 2(b u) u =b/3 = 1.5 km/hr.

Q16. A sum of money amounts to Rs. 9800 after 5 years and Rs. 12005 after
8 years at the same rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum
is
A.5%
B.8%
C.12%
D.18%

ANS:C

Explanation:

S.I. for 3 years = Rs. (12005 - 9800) = Rs. 2205. S.I. for 5 years = Rs. (2205/3)
x 5 = Rs. 3675 Principal = Rs. (9800 - 3675) = Rs. 6125. Hence, rate = (100 x
3675)/( 6125 x 5) % = 12%

Q17. A man starts walking at 3 pm . he walks at a speed of 4 km/hr on level

ground and at a speed of 3 km/hr on uphill , 6 km/hr downhill and then 4
km/hr on level ground to reach home at 9 pm. What is the distance covered
on one way?

A.12 km
B.23 km
C.45 km
D.65 km

ANS:A

Explanation:

lets us consider t1 = time taken on level road. t2 = uphill. t3 = down hill; the
distance traveled uphill and down hill same so t2*3 = 6*t3; => t2 = 2t3;--->
(1) total time = 2*t1 + t2 + t3 = 6 hours ---> (2) 2t1+3t3 = 6 -->(3) total
distance = 2*(4t1) + 3*t2+ 6*t3 ---> (4) substitute (1) in (4) 8t1 + 12t3 =>
4(2t1+3t3) then from (3) the total distance will become 4*6= 24 => one way
distance = 12km

A.Rs. 4, Rs. 23
B.Rs. 13, Rs. 17
C.Rs. 15, Rs. 14
D.Rs. 17, Rs. 13

ANS:B

Explanation:

Let Rs. x be the fare of city B from city A and Rs. y be the fare of city C from city
A. Then, 2x + 3y = 77 ...(i) and 3x + 2y = 73 ...(ii) Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii)
by 2 and subtracting, we get: 5y = 85 or y = 17. Putting y = 17 in (i), we get: x
= 13.

A new generation of scientists is not convinced that language is innate and

hard-wired into our brain and they say that small, even apparently
insignificant differences between languages do affect the way speakers
perceive the world. The brain is shaped by experience, says Dan Slobin of
the University of California at Berkeley. Some people argue that language
just changes what you attend to , says Lera Boroditsky of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. But what you attend to changes
what you encode and remember. In short, it changes how you think. (BEC

Q5. How to I create a binary function in the STL?

Given the following code:

class A;
class B;
class C {
A* a_;
B* b_;
public:
};

Q6. Implement a copy constructor and assignment operator for C. A

sample solution is something like:

class C {
A* a_;
B* b_;
void swap(C& rhs) { rhs.a_ = a_; rhs.b_ = b_; }
public:
C(const C& rhs) {
auto_ptr<> a(new A(rhs.a_));
auto_ptr<> b(new B(rhs.b_)):
delete a_;
delete b_;
a_ = a.release();
b_ = b.release();
}
C& operator=(const C& rhs) {
C temp(rhs);
temp.swap(*this);
return *this;
}
};

Q7. What is wrong with this class, assuming that this is its complete
interface?

class C {
char *p;
public:
C() { p = new char[64]; strcpy(p, "Hello world"); }
~C() { delete p; }
void foo() { cout << "My ptr is: << p << << endl; }
};

Since this has an overtly programmed destructor, the member wise semantics
for destruction are not good enough; therefore, they are not good enough for
copy and assignment either. But, the copy destructor and op= are not
programmed, so we will have some serious trouble.

Gradual hinting:

What happens when we make a copy?

ANS:Pointer is copied. Now, the original goes out of scope, what happens to
the copy?

[pointer dangles]. How would you fix it?

[also, that delete p should be delete[ p since p was allocated with the array new]

Assuming that swap() and copy construction are part of your interface for
class C, whats the cookie-cutter pattern for operator= that uses them?

ANS:

C& C:perator=(const C &rhs) {

if (this != &rhs) {
C tmp(rhs);
this->swap(tmp);
}
return *this;
}
]

Q1.A function f(x) is defined as f(x) = f(x - 2) - x(x + 2) for all the integer
values of x and f(1) + f(4) = 0. What is the value of f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) +
f(5) + f(6)?

A) 0
B) 89
C) 89
D) None of these

ANS:C
Explanation:

Let S = f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + f(4) + f(5) + f(6)

As f(1) + f(4) = 0, therefore S = f(2) + f(3) + f(5) + f(6) ------ (1)
f(2) = f(0) - 8
f(3) = f(1) - 15
f(4) = f(2) - 24 = f(0) - 32
f(5) = f(3) - 35 = f(1) - 50
f(6) = f(4) - 48 = f(0) - 80
Put the above values in equation (1), we get
S = f(0) - 8 + f(1) - 15 + f(1) - 50 + f(0) - 80
S = 2(f(0) + f(1)) - 153 ------ (2)
As we already know f(1) + f(4) = 0 f(1) + f(0) - 32 = 0 f(1) + f(0) = 32
Putting this value in equation 2, we get S = 2(32) - 153 = -89
So, Ans is option C.

A) 960
B) 850
C) 895
D) 955
E) 44%

ANS:A.

Explanation:

Let the current price be Rs. 100.

For getting 12% profit he should sell it at Rs. 112.
Let the label price be x.
Let the no. Be [3/5]*[{2/5}x]-[2/5]*[1/4]x,then = 288 Solving it we will get 960

Q4.A, B, C and D are four consecutive odd numbers and their average is
42. What is the product of B and D?

A) 1860
B) 1890
C) 1845
D) 1677
E) None of these

ANS:C.

Explanation:

Work done by A and B in 12 days is

12[112*5/4]=12*5/120=.5
As diff. Is same so average should lie between B and C so B is 41 & C is 43 so
D must be 45 as we have to find the product of B and D so it would be 1845

Q5.BL and CM are medians of ABC right angled at A and BC =5 cm. If

BL =3- 5/2 cm, then the length of CM is

A) 2 5
B) 5 2
C) 10 2
D) 4 5

ANS:A.
Explanation:

Here, BC = 5cm
BL = 3 5/2 cm
By using the formula
4(BL2 + CM2) = 5BC2

Q6.A sum of Rs 731 is divided among A, B and C such that A receive 25%
more than B and B receive 25% less than C. What is Cs share in the
amount?

A) Rs. 172
B) Rs. 200
C) Rs. 262
D) Rs. 258
E) None of these

ANS:E.

Explanation:

A + B + C = 731 ..... (i) A = 1.25B, gives A = 1.25 * 0.75 C = 0.9375 C....(ii) B

= 0.75C....(iii) Using (ii) and (iii) in (i) we get 0.9375C + 0.75C + C = 731,
gives C = 272. So option E is the answer.
