Question :1

Sarita cuts a cake into two halves and cut one-half into smaller pieces of equal size. Each of the small pieces is twenty five grams in weight. If she has eleven pieces of the cake in all with her, how heavy was the original cake ?

Answer: (a)

Eleven pieces consist of 10 smaller equal pieces and one half cake piece.

Weight of half piece with ten small pieces of weight 25 grams each = 25 × 10 g i.e. 250 grams

∴ Total weight of the cake = 2 × 250 grams i.e. 500 grams.

Question :2

A certain number of horses and an equal number of men are going somewhere. Half of the owners are on their horses back while the remaining ones are walking along leading their horses. If the number of legs walking on the ground is 70, how many horses are there ?

Answer: (a)

Let the number of horse = Number of men = x

Number of legs = 4x + 2 × (x/2) = 5x ⇒ 5x = 70 or x = 14.

Question :3

Five persons are standing in a line. One of the two persons at the extreme ends is a professor and the other a businessman. An advocate is standing to the right of a student. An author is to the left of the businessman. The student is standing between the professor and the advocate. Counting from the left, the advocate is at which place ?

Answer: (a)

The advocate is to the right of the student, who is standing between the professor and the advocate.

So, we have : Professor, Student, Advocate.

The author is to the left of businessman.

So, we have : Author, Businessman.

Since the professor and businessman are at the ends, the arrangement from left to right becomes : Professor, Student, Advocate, Author, Businessman.

Clearly, the advocate is third from the left.

Question :4

In a shop, there were 4 dolls of different heights A, B, C and D. D is neither as tall as A nor as short as C. B is shorter than D but taller than C. If Mani wants to purchase the tallest doll, which one should she purchase ?

Answer: (d)

D is not as tall as A ⇒ D is shorter than A ⇒ D < A.

D is not as short as C ⇒ D is taller than C ⇒ D > C

B is shorter than D but taller than C ⇒ C < B < D.

Thus, we have : C < B < D < A. So, A is the tallest.

Question :5

Answer: (d)

In terms of weight :

Govind < Ashish; Mohit < Jack; Jack < Pawan and Pawan < Govind

⇒ the sequence is

Mohit < Jack < Pawan < Govind < Ashish

∴ Ashish is the heaviest.
