Question : 1
Between two book-ends in your study are displayed your five favourite puzzle books. If you decide to arrange the five books in every possible combination and moved just one book every minute, how long would it take you?
a) 3 hours
b) 1 hour
c) 2 hours
d) 4 hours
Answer »Answer: (c)
Clearly, number of ways of arranging 5 books = 5!
= 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
So, total time taken = 120 minutes = 2 hours.
Question : 2
Five bells begin to toll together and toll respectively at intervals of 6, 5, 7, 10 and 12 seconds. How many times will they toll together in one hour excluding the one at the start ?
a) 9 times
b) 7 times
c) 8 times
d) 11 times
Answer »Answer: (c)
L.C.M. of 6, 5, 7, 10 and 12 is 420.
So, the bells will toll together after every 420 seconds i.e. 7 minutes.
Now, 7 × 8 = 56 and 7 × 9 = 63.
Thus, in 1-hour (or 60 minutes), the bells will toll together 8 times, excluding the one at the start.

Question : 4
Mr. X, a mathematician, defines a number as 'connected with 6 if it is divisible by 6 or if the sum of its digits is 6, or if 6 is one of the digits of the number. Other numbers are allenot connected with 6'. As per this definition, the number of integers from 1 to 60 (both inclusive) which are not connected with 6 is
a) 42
b) 18
c) 22
d) 43
Answer »Answer: (d)
Numbers from 1 to 60, which are divisible by 6 are : 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60.
There are 10 such numbers.
Numbers from 1 to 60, the sum of whose digits is 6 are 6, 15, 24, 33, 42, 51, 60.
There are 7 such numbers of which 4 are common to the above ones. So, there are 3 such uncommon numbers.
Numbers from 1 to 60, which have 6 as one of the digits are 6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60.
Clearly, there are 4 such uncommon numbers.
So, numbers 'not connected with 6'
= 60 – (10 + 3 + 4) = 43.
Question : 5
Mac has £ 3 more than Ken, but then Ken wins on the horses and trebles his money, so that he now has £ 2 more than the original amount of money that the two boys had between them. How much money did Mac and Ken have between them before Ken's win ?
a) £ 13
b) £ 9
c) £ 11
d) £ 15
Answer »Answer: (a)
Let money with Ken = x. Then, money with Mac = x + £ 3.
Now, 3x = (x x + £ 3) + £ 2 ⇔ x = £ 5.
Therefore total money with Mac and Ken = 2x + £ 3 = £ 13.
Question : 6
A player holds 13 cards of four suits, of which seven are black and six are red. There are twice as many diamonds as spades and twice as many hearts as diamonds. How many clubs does he holds?
a) 6
b) 4
c) 5
d) 7
Answer »Answer: (a)
Clearly, the black cards are either clubs or spades while the red cards are either diamonds or hearts.
Let the number of spades be x. Then, number of cubes = (7 – x).
Number of diamonds = 2 x number of spades = 2x
Number of hearts = 2 x number of diamonds = 4x
Total number of cards = x + 2x + 4x + 7 – x = 6x + 7.
Therefore 6x + 7 = 13 ⇔ 6x = 6 ⇔ x – 1.
Hence, number of clubs = (7 – x) = 6.
