[Ans. D]
Given: P alone can fill the tank in 6 hours
So, in 1 hour, part of tank filled by P alone is 1/6th
Given: Q alone can fill the tank in 9 hours
So, in 1 hour, part of tank filled by Q alone is 1/9th
Given: R can empty the tank in 12 hours
So, in 1 hour, part of tank emptied by R is 1/12th

According to question, remaining ½ part of the tank is filled by Q alone.
As Q takes 9 hours to fill the tank completely, so it will take 4.5 hours to fill remaining half

So, total time taken=( ) hours= 14.5 hours

7. Mola is a digital platform for taxis in a city. It offers three types of rides- pool, mini and
prime. table below represents number of rides taken in last 4 months. Platform earns 1

Shared by QualifyGate
US$ per ride. What is the percentage share of revenue contributed by prime to the total
revenue of Mola for entire duration?
Pool 170 320 215 190
Mini 110 220 180 70
Prime 75 180 120 90
(A) 16.24 (B) 25.88
(C) 38.74 (D) 23.97
[Ans. D]
Revenue shared by Pool= 170+ 320+215+190 = 895
Revenue shared by Mini= 110+ 220+180+70 = 580
Revenue shared by Prime= 75+ 180+120+90 = 465
So, total revenue generated by Mola= 895+580+465 = 1940
