Quant Quiz 

1  In an 800 m race around a stadium having a circumference of 200 m, the top runner meets the last runner in the 5th minute of the race. If the top runner runs at twice the speed of the last runner, what is the time taken by the top runner to finish the race?

• 20 min
• 15 min1
• 10 min
• 5 min

 

Sol : Before meeting (after 5 minutes), the top runner covers two rounds, ie : 400 m

        Last runner covers 1 round, ie : 200 m

        Thus the top runner covers the 800 m race in 10 minutes

2.   An aeroplane first flew with a speed of 440 kmph and covered a certain distance. It still had to cover 770 km less than what it had already covered, but it flew with a speed of 660 kmph. The average speed for the entire flight was 500 kmph. Find the total distance covered.

• 3250 km
• 2750 km
• 4400 km
• 1375 km

Sol : Let distance covered at 440 km be x. Then distance covered at 660 kmph is x-770

        Total distance = 2x-770

        Average speed = (total distance/total time)

         Total time = (x/440) + [(x-770)/660]

        Divining total distance by total time, we get x = 1760

        So total distance = 2*(1760-770)=2750

3. A boatman rows to a place 45 km distant and back in 20 hours. He finds that he can row 12 km with the stream at the same time as 4km against the stream. Find the speed of the stream.

• 3 kmph
• 2.5 kmph
• 4 kmph
• Cannot be determined 

Sol : Ratio of the time taken for up : down = 3:1

        Out of 20 hours, he took 15 hours for up and 5 hours for down

        Speed up = 45/15 = 3 and speed down = 45/5 = 9

        Therefore, speed of stream = (9-3)/2 = 3 kmph

4. A contractor undertook to do a piece of work in 9 days. He employed a certain number of labourers, but 6 of them were absent from the very first day, the rest could finish the job in 15 days. Find the number of men originally employed.

• 15
• 6
• 13
• 9

Sol : Let number of men originally employed be x

        Hence (x-6) men could finish the work in 15 days and x men could finish the work in                    9 days.

        9x = 15(x-6)

        x = 15

5. A sink contains exactly 12 litres of water. If water is drained from the sink until it holds exactly 6 litres of water less than the quantity drained away, how many litres of water were drained away?

• 2
• 6
• 3
• 9

Sol : let x be the litres of water drained away

        Now, 12-x = x-6

        Hence, x = 9
