Question: 02
Question: What will be the total weight of 10 poles, each of the same weight ?
Statements:
I. One-fourth of the weight of each pole is 5 kg.
II. The total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles.

Answer:
Explanation:
From I, we conclude that weight of each pole = (4x5) kg = 20 kg.
So, total weight of 10 poles = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg.
From II, we conclude that:
Weight of each pole = (weight of 3 poles) - (weight of 2 poles) = 20 kg.
So, total weight of 10 pojes = (20 x 10) kg = 200 kg.

Clocks
Answer:
Clocks
Clocks
A clock is a complete circle having 360 degrees. It is divided into 12 equal parts i.e. each part is 360/12
= 30°.
As the minute hand(M.H) takes a complete round in one hour, it covers 360° in 60 minutes.
In 1 minute it covers 360/60 = 6°/ minute.
Also, as the hour hand(H.H) covers just one part out of the given 12 parts in one hour. This implies it
covers 30° in 60 minutes i.e. ½° per minute.
This implies that the relative speed of the M.H is 6 - ½ = 5 ½ degrees

Clocks
• The hands clocks will be perpendicular in 15-minute spaces apart.

• The hands of the clock are in a straight line and opposite to each other in 30-minutes spaces apart.
The M.H gains 55-minutes over H.H per hour
If Ɵ is the angle between the M.H and the H.H, then

Ɵ = | 11/2(M) ~ 30(H) |
Question: 01
What is the angle between hands of the clock at 8:40?
A. 0 degree
B. 10 degree
C. 25 degree
D. 20 degree
Explanation:
Substitute the minute and hour values in the expression

Ɵ = | 11/2(M) - 30(H) |
Ɵ = | 11/2(40) - 30(8) |
Ɵ = | 240 -220 |
Ɵ = 20
Answer:
Question: 02
At what time between 10 O’clock and 11 O'clock the hands of the clock be 20 minutes
apart from each other?
A. 32 (8/11) past 10 O'clock

B. 33 (2/11) past 10 O'clock
C. 32 (2/11) past 10 O'clock
D. 33 (8/11) past 10 O'clock
Explanation:
20 minutes apart from each other indicates that the angle between the hands of the clock is
120 degree.
Now substitute in the expression and get the minute value.
Ɵ = | 11/2(M) – 30(H) |
120= | 11/2(M) - 300) | ( since the hour value should be 10)To get
the L.H.S as 120, the value of 11/2(M) should be 180.
⇒11M= 360
M= 360/11= 32 (8/11)
Answer:
Question: 03
How many times hands of the clock be right angle to each other for 3 days?
A. 44
B. 144
C. 132
D. 156
Explanation:
In each one-hour hands of the clock be right angle(90 degrees) to each other 2 times.
A day= 24 hours
In a day the above case happens 2x24=48 times, yet exceptions are there.
Consider, between 2 O'clock to 3 ’O'clock it happens 2 times, since this 3 O'clock is counted
already, in
3’O clock to 4’O clock duration it happens once. Hence 2 cases are excluded( evening and
early morning)
The same case happens between 9 O'clock and 10 O'clock duration.
2 cases are excluded here too.( morning and the night)
48-4= 44 times per day
Therefore for 3 days = 3 * 44= 132
Answer:
Question: 04

Question: 05
Ramesh sets his grandfather’s clock to the right time at 2.00 am on Thursday. But he didn’t
know that the clock gains 20s for every 3 hours. What will the clock indicate on Friday night
6.30 pm?
A. 6.32.00 pm
B. 6.32.46 pm
C. 6.38.56 pm
D. 6.34.30 pm
Explanation:
24 ( till friday 2 am)+ 12 ( till friday 2 pm ) + 4.5 ( till friday 6:30 pm)
= 40.5 hrs
Gvn that 20sec gains for 3 hrs
Therefore for 40.5 hrs it gains 270 sec
I.e.4.5 minutes
6:34:30
Answer:
Question: 06
At what time after 9 am, do hands of clock make a right angle?
A. At 32(8/11) minutes past 9 am

B. At 9am
C. At 3pm
D. At 29(8/11) minutes before 10 am
Answer:
Explanation:
Ɵ = | 11/2(M) – 30(H) |
90= | 11/2(M) - 30(9)) | ( since the hour value should be 10)
To get the L.H.S as 120, the value of 11/2(M) should be 360
⇒11M= 360
M= 360/11= 32 (8/11) min after past 9 am
Question: 07
Find the water image when the exact time shown in a clock was 4:30?
A. 2:30
B. 3:30
C. 1:30
D. 10:30

Question: 08
At what time between 4 and 4.59 will the hands of a watch point in opposite directions?
A. 45 min. past 4
B. 40 min. past 4
C. 50 (4/11) min. past 4
D. 54 (6/11) past 4
Answer:
Explanation: 08
At 4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.

To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.
Minute hand must gain 50 min. spaces.
55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.
50 min. spaces are gained in 60/55 x 50 = 54 (6/11) min
Required time = 54 6/11 min past 4
Question: 09
Rohit has a watch that gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes. It was set right at 9 a.m. in the morning
In the afternoon of the same day, when the watch indicated 4 o'clock, how much time will the
watch have gained?
A. No change
B. 10 min
C. (11)2/3 min
D. 12 min
Answer:
Explanation:
Time from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. = 7 hrs

The clock gains 5 secs in 3 min
In 60 min, it will gain, (60 x 5) / 3 = 100 sec
i.e. the clock gains 100 seconds in one hour
In 7 hours, it will gain 700 sec.
700/60 mins = (11)2/3 min
Question: 10
My watch, which gains uniformly, is 2 min slow at noon on Sunday, and is 4 min 48 seconds
fast at 2PM on the following Sunday when was it correct?
A. Wednesday noon
B. Sunday 2PM
C. Monday noon
D. Tuesday 2PM
Answer:
Explanation:
At noon on Sunday watch gains 2 Minutes.

And at 2PM on following Sunday it is 4 Minutes 48 Seconds fast.
So, it gains 6 Minutes 48 Seconds i.e. 2 Minutes + 4 Minutes 48 Seconds (total 408 Seconds)
in 170 Hours (Hours from Sunday Noon (12PM) to following Sunday 2PM)
Therefore, watch gains 120 Seconds (2 Minutes) in 170*120/408 = 50 Hours
50 Hours = 2 Days 2 Hours
Thus, Watch was correct after 2 days 2 hours from Sunday noon that is Tuesday 2PM.
Question: 11
Manish set an alarm on his clock at 11:00 A.M on Monday. He set his clock correctly at 1:00
A.M on Sunday.He was unaware that the clock gains 20 minutes in every 24 hrs. What was

B. 10: 31: 40A.M
C. 11: 28: 40A.M
D. 10: 31: 20A.M
Answer:
Explanation: 11
From 1:00 A.M Sunday to 11:00 A.M Monday we have 34 hrs.

The clock gains 20 minutes in 24 hrs. So it gains 28.33minutes in 34 hrs.
0.33minute can be taken as 20 seconds=> The clock is faster than the actual time by 28
minutes 20 seconds.
Actual time is 10: 59: 60 –
28: 20
10: 31: 40P.M
Question: 12

genuine time when the clock shows 10 pm on fourth day?
A. 11 pm
B. 12 pm
C. 11 am
D. 12 am
Answer:
Explanation:
ITime from 5am on a day to 10 pm on fourth day= 89 hours

Presently 23hrs. 44min. of this clock= 24 hours of right clock.
∴ 356/15 hrs of this clock= (24*15/356*89) hrs. Of right clock.
= 90 hrs of right clock.
Along these lines, the right time is 11 pm.
Question: 13
A watch which gains uniformly in 5 min slows at 8 o? clock in the morning on Sunday and it is
5 min 48 sec fast at 8 pm on the following Sunday. When was it correct?
A. 7:20 pm on tuesday
B. 7:20 pm on wednesday
C. 7:20 pm on thursday
D. None of the above
Answer:
Explanation:
Time from 8 am on Sunday to 8 pm on following Sunday = 7 days 12 hours

= 180 hours
∴ The watch gains (5 + 29/5) min or 54/5 min in 180 hours.
Now 54/5 minutes are gained in 180 hours.
∴ 5 minutes are gained in [180*(5/54)*5] hour = 83 hr 20 min

= 3 days 11 hours 20 minutes
Watch is correct 3 days 11 hours 20 minutes
after 8 AM of Sunday i.e. 7:20 PM on Wednesday.
Question: 14
A clock loses 1% time during first week and gain 2% time during the next one week. If the
clock was set right at 12 noon on Sunday, what will be the time exactly that the clock will show
14 days from the time it was set?
A. 1:30:48 P.M
B. 1:40:48 P.M
C. 1:40:38 P.M
D. 1:30:48 A.M
Answer:
Explanation:
A week= 24x7 = 168 hrs

1% of 168=1.68hrs
2% of 168= 2x1.68 hrs
The clock gained 1.68(2-1)= 1.68hrs
0.6 hours means 36 minutes and 0.08 hours 4.8minutes; total 40.8minutes
0.8 minutes means 48 seconds.
So clock shows 1hr 40min 48sec more than the time it was set.

CUBES
Answer:
Question: 01
A cube of side length 8 cm is taken and small cubes of 2 cm length are cut along
all the eight corners of the cube. By what percentage does the total surface area
of the cube changes?
A. 5%
B. 12.5%
C. 20%
D. None of these
Explanation:
Each cube that is cut had three sides exposed outside and three sides not
exposed when it was in the bigger cube.
Answer:
Question: 02
A cuboid of dimensions 45cm, 75cm and 90cm is to be divided into identical

cubes of side X cm. What is the maximum possible value of X ?
A. 10
B. 12
C. 15
D. 17
Explanation:
As it is given that the smaller cubes to be formed are to be identical and for the
side of it to be maximum it has to be the HCF of the dimensions of the given
cuboid. HCF of 45, 75 and 90 is 15. Hence the maximum possible value of the
side of the smaller cubes is 15.
Answer:
Question: 03
Four cubes are placed adjacently in a row. What is the ratio of the surface area of
the new cuboid to the total surface area of the four cubes ?
A. 9/16
B. 3/4
C. 16/9
D. 4/3
Explanation:
Answer:
Question: 04
A cube of side 3 cm is cut into smaller cubes of side 1 cm. What is the ratio of
Total surface area of the larger cube and the sum of the total surfaces of all the
smaller cubes ?
A. 1:1
B. 1:2
C. 1:3
D. 1:4
Explanation:
Total surface area of the larger cube = 6*3*3 = 54.

Total surface area of a smaller cube = 6*1*1 = 6.
The number of smaller cubes = 3*3*3 = 27.
Sum of the total surface areas of all the smaller cubes = 6*27 = 162.
Thus the required ratio = 54:162 = 1:3.
Answer:
Question: 05
A cube of side n is painted green on all its sides. It is then cut into identical cubes.
How many of the smaller cubes will have three of its sides painted ?
A. 4
B. 6
C. 8

D. 0
Explanation:
Since, there are 64 smaller cubes of equal size, therefore, n = no. of divisions on
the face of undivided cube = 4
no. of cubes with no face coloured = (n – 2)³ = (4 – 2)³ = 8
Answer:
Question: 07
are there which have only one face coloured?
A. 4
B. 8
C. 16
D. 24
Explanation:
no. of cubes with one face painted = (n – 2)² × 6 = (4 – 2)² × 6 = 24

A. Red and Yellow

B. Blue and Green
C. Red and Green
D. Red and Blue
Answer: B
Explanation:
First 64 cubes are such each of whose two faces are green and second 64 cubes are such
each of whose two faces are blue.
Therefore, green and blue colours have the same number of faces.
Question: 15
Four colours namely Blue, Green Red and White are used to paint a cube such
that each face is painted in exactly one colour and each colour is painted on at
least one face. The cube is now cut into 120 identical pieces by making least
number of cuts.
What is the number of cubes with no face painted?
A. 24
B. 36
C. 48
D. 56
Answer: A
Explanation:
For least number of cuts 120 = 4 x 5 x 6 i.e. number of cuts must be 3, 4 and 5 in
three planes in this case number of cubes on a face is either 6 x 5 = 30 or 6 x 4 =
24 or 4 x 5 = 20 cubes . And number of cuboids on an edge is 4 or 5 or 6
Number of cuboids with no face painted is (4 - 2)(5 - 2)(6 - 2) = 2 x 3 x 4 = 24
CALENDARS
ORDINARY YEAR
● An year having 365 days is called an ordinary year

● February has only 28 days in ordinary years
● 1 ordinary year = 365 days = 52 weeks + 1 day
LEAP YEAR
● An leap year have 366 days

● February has 29 days in leap year
● If year is divisible by 4 is called a leap year except for centuries
● 1 leap year = 366 days = 52 weeks + 2 day
ODD DAYS
● The number of days more than the complete number of weeks in a given period is called odd
days
● An ordinary year has 365 days which is 52 weeks + 1 day. So the number of odd days =1
● Similarly a leap year has 366 days which is 52 weeks + 2 days. So number of odd days = 2
COUNTING OF ODD DAYS
● Ordinary year has 1 odd day

● Leap year have 2 odd days
● A century has 76 ordinary years & 24 leap years
● 100 years = 76 odd days + 24 * 2 odd days = 124 odd days = 17 weeks + 5 days
● So century has 5 odd days
● 200 years has 10 odd days = 1 week + 3 days hence 3 odd days
● 300 years has 15 odd days = 2 week + 1 day, hence 1 odd day
● 400 years has 21 odd days = 3 week , hence 0 odd day
● Century is a leap year if it is divisible by 400
● The odd days can be used to find which day of the week is starts from sunday to saturday (0 to
6)
Question: 01
What was the day of the week on 2nd january 2000?
A. Sunday
B. Monday
C. Friday
D. saturday
Answer:
Explanation:
● Counting odd days

● 1600 years has 0 odd days
● 300 years have 1 odd day
● 99 years = (24 leap years + 75 ordinary years) = [(24 *2) + (75 *1)] = 123 odd days
● 17 weeks + 4 days = 4 odd days
● In january 2000 we have 2 days = 2 odd days
● Total no odd days = ( 0 + 1 + 4 + 2) = 7 = 0 odd days
● Required day is a sunday
Question: 02
What was the day on march 3rd 2008?
A. Sunday
B. Monday
C. Saturday
D. Friday
Answer:
Explanation:
● 3rd march 2008 = 2000 years + 1 leap year (2004) + 6 ordinary years + period from 1st
january to 3rd march
● 2000 years = 0 odd days
● 6 ordinary years = 6 odd days
● 1 leap year = 2 odd days
● In 2008 ( 31 +29 +3) = 63 days = 0 odd days
● Total no of odd days = 6 + 2 = 8 days = 1 odd day
● So march3 2008 was a monday
Question: 03
On what dates of january 2006 did monday fall?
A. 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th

B. 3rd, 10th, 17th, 24th, 31st
C. 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, 30th
D. 4th, 11th, 18th, 25th
Answer:
Explanation:
● First we have to find which day was 1st january 2006

● 2000 - 0 odd days
● 2001 to 2006 - 4 ordinary years + 1 leap year = 4*1 +2 = 6 odd days
● 1st jan 2006 - 1 odd day
● So total no of odd days = 0 + 6 + 1 = 7 days = 0 odd days
● So 1st jan 2006 sunday
● So 2nd 2006 is monday
● So in january 2006, monday comes on 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd & 30th
Question: 04
If today is a monday, what day will it be 65 days later?
A. Monday
B. Tuesday
C. Wednesday
D. thursday
Answer:
Explanation:
● Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days.

● If today is monday after 63 days it will be a monday again
● So 65th day will be wednesday
Question: 05
If Nihar was born on 2nd february 1991, then on what day does his 13th birthday fall on?
A. Sunday
B. Monday
C. Tuesday
D. wednesday
Answer:
Explanation:
● Nihars 13th birthday is on 2nd february 2004

● 2nd february 2004 = (2000 years + 3 ordinary years) + ( 31 + 2 days)
● 0 + 3 + 33 odd days = 36 odd days = 1 odd day
● So his birth day falls on a monday
Question: 06

A. I, II, III are leap years

B. Only II & III are leap years
C. Only II is a leap year
D. Only III is leap year
Answer:
Explanation:
● 1984 & 1744 is divisible by 4 & so leap year

● 2100 is not a leap year, since a century is leap year only if it is divisible by 400
Question: 07
If march 1st of any year is saturday then november 1st of the same year is?
A. Friday
B. Tuesday
C. Saturday
D. Sunday
Answer:
Explanation:
● No of days = (31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31) = 245 days = 0 odd days

● 1st november is also the same day as march 1st & it is a saturday
