  281. In a game of billiards, A can give B 20 points in 60 and he can give C 30 points in 60. How many points can B give C in a game of 100?
    A. 50
    B. 40
    C. 25
    D. 15
    Ans: C. 25
    Explanation:
    A scores 60 while B score 40 and C scores 30.
    The number of points that C scores when B scores 100 = (100 * 30)/40 = 25 * 3 = 75.
    In a game of 100 points, B gives (100 – 75) = 25 points to C.
  282. In a race of 1000 m, A can beat by 100 m, in a race of 800m, B can beat C by 100m. By how many meters will A beat C in a race of 600 m?

    B. 127.5 m
    C. 150.7 m
    D. 98.6 m
    Ans: B. 127.5 m
    Explanation:
    When A runs 1000 m, B runs 900 m and when B runs 800 m, C runs 700 m.
    When B runs 900 m, distance that C runs = (900 * 700)/800 = 6300/8 = 787.5 m.
    In a race of 1000 m, A beats C by (1000 – 787.5) = 212.5 m to C.
    In a race of 600 m, the number of meters by which A beats C = (600 * 212.5)/1000 = 127.5 m.

  284. Arslan and Bilal have some marbles with them. Arslan told Bilal “if you give me ‘x’ marbles, both of us will have equal number of marbles”. Bilal then told Arslan “if you give me twice as many marbles, I will have 30 more marbles than you would”. Find ‘x’?
    A. 4
    B. 5
    C. 6
    D. 8
    Ans: B. 5
    Explanation:
    If Bilal gives ‘x’ marbles to Arslan then Bilal and Arslan would have V – x and A + x marbles.
    V – x = A + x — (1)
    If Arslan gives 2x marbles to Bilal then Arslan and Bilal would have A – 2x and V + 2x marbles.
    V + 2x – (A – 2x) = 30 => V – A + 4x = 30 — (2)
    From (1) we have V – A = 2x
    Substituting V – A = 2x in (2)
    6x = 30 => x = 5.
