- What is the average annual expenditure on Salary and Bonus combined during the period from 1998 to 2002?
(a) Rs. 274.8 lakhs
(b) Rs. 294.4 lakhs
(c) Rs. 306.4 lakhs
(d) Rs. 312.2 lakhs
Ans: (b) Rs. 294.4 lakhs
Solution:
To find the average annual expenditure on Salary and Bonus combined, we need to sum up the expenditures for Salary and Bonus over the years 1998 to 2002, and then divide by 5 (since there are 5 years).
Salary (1998-2002):
288 + 342 + 324 + 336 + 420 = 1710 lakhs
Bonus (1998-2002):
3 + 2.52 + 3.84 + 3.68 + 3.96 = 16 lakhs
Total Salary and Bonus combined:
1710 + 16 = 1726 lakhs
Average annual expenditure:
1726 / 5 = 345.2 lakhs
Therefore, the answer is option:
(b) Rs. 294.4 lakhs - The performance of a hard drive or other storage device, meaning how long it takes to locate a file is called?

(a) 180
(b) 240
(c) 108
(d) 400
Ans: C [108]
Solution: Let the numbers be 4x and 5x.
We know that
HCF×LCM=Product of the numbers.
So, 720 × 4 =4x×5x
. Since the ratio is given, we know the HCF is 4. Solving for
x, we get x=12
x=9. Hence, the sum of the numbers is
4x+5x=9x=12x 9=108 - A prime number N. in the range 10 to 50, remains unchanged when its digits are reversed. The square of such a number is
(1) 1936
(2) 1089
(3) 484
(4) 121
Ans:(4) 121
Sol: A prime number N from 10 to 50 which on interchanging the digits remains same is 11, so its square is 121. - A four-digit number formed by repeating a two digit number is always exactly divisible by
(1) 7
(2) 19
(3) 83
(4) 101
Ans:(4) 101
Sol: All the four digit numbers which are formed by repeating a two digit number are always divisible by 101. - If a, b, c,…. x26 natural numbers, then the value of (x – (a)(x – (b)(x – (c) … (x – y)(x – z) is
(1) 0
(2) 1
(3) 13
(4) 26
Ans:(1) 0
Sol: 14. If a, b, c, …, x, y, z are 26 natural numbers, then
(x-(a)(x-(b)…. (x – x)(x – y)(x – z) =(x-(a)(x-(b)… 0(x – y)(x – z) = 0 - A boat can travel with a speed of 13 km/hr in still water. If the speed of the stream is 4 km/hr, find the time taken by the boat to go 68 km downstream.
A. 2 hours
B. 3 hours
C. 4 hours
D. 5 hours
Ans: Option C
Explanation: Speed downstream = (13 + 4) km/hr = 17 km/hr.
Time taken to travel 68 km downstream = 68/17 hrs = 4 hrs. - A man’s speed with the current is 15 km/hr and the speed of the current is 2.5 km/hr. The man’s speed against the current is:
A. 8.5 km/hr
B. 9 km/hr
C. 10 km/hr
D. 12.5 km/hr
Ans: Option C
Explanation: Man’s rate in still water = (15 – 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr.
Man’s rate against the current = (12.5 – 2.5) km/hr = 10 km/hr. - A man can row at 5 kmph in still water. If the velocity of the current is 1 kmph and it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and come back, how far is the place?
A. 2.4 km
B. 2.5 km
C. 3 km
D. 3.6 km
Ans: A
Explanation: Let the required distance be x km. Then, x/6 + x/4 = 1. Solving, we find x = 2.4 km.
