Important Mathematics for exam




1. Speed of a boat in still water is 16km/h. If it can travel 20km
downstream in the same time as it
can travel 12 km upstream, the rate of stream is.
a)1km/h
b)2km/h
c)4km/h
d)5km/h
Solution: Speed downstream: Speed upstream=20:12=5:3
Speed of current=5-3/5+3*16=4km/h

2. In one hour, a boat goes 11km along the stream and 5km against the
stream.
The speed of the boat in still water (in km/hr)is:
a)3
b)5
c)8
d)9
Solution: Speed in still water=1/2(11+5)kmph=8kmph

************
If ratio of downstream and upstream speeds of a boat is ‘a:b.’
Then ratio of time taken= b:a
Speed of stream=a-b/a+b *Speed in still water
Speed in still water =a+b/a-b *Speed of stream

C) 654
D)252

Answer - D

*****************
PERMUTATION & COMBINATION
nPr = n!/ (n-r)!
nCr = n!/r!(n-r)!
nCr = nC(n-r)
nCr = nPr/r!
0!=1
1!=1
nPn=n!
nP1=n
nC1=n
nCn=1

A) (3/2)a hours
B) (2/3)a
C) (4/3)a
D) (3/4)a

Answer - A

6. Ram, who is half as efficient as Krish, will take 24 days to complete a work if he worked alone. If

C) 8 days
D) 18 days

Answer - C

7. Two workers A and B manufactured a batch of identical parts. A worked for 2
hours and B worked for 5 hours and they did half the job. Then they worked together for another 3
hours and they had to do (1/20)th of the job. How much time does B take to complete the job, if he
worked alone?
A) 24 hours
B) 12 hours
C) 15 hours
D) 30 hours

Answer - C



TIME SPEED AND DISTANCE
Important Formula
1. Speed, Time and Distance:
Speed = Distance / time
Time = distance /speed
Distance =speed*time
