Rohit was descending from the elavator which was not working. When he had stepped down

7 steps his sir started from the bottom of the elevator and they passed each other and when Rohit had still 4 steps to go down, his sir reached at the top. Taking into consideration that sir’s 2 steps took same time as Rohit’s one what were the total no of steps?

Ans

22 steps

let no of steps be x

speed=distance/time

Distance covered by Rohit = x-7-4 (7 steps already covered and 4 were still to go)

Distance covered by sir = x

Speed of Rohit =s

Speed of sir = 2s

Time taken is equal in both the cases so

Time(rohit)=time(sir)

(x-7-4) / s = x / 2s

2x – 22 = x

x=22

A vendor who is an ex-mathematician has a number of apples and when he arranges them in rows of 3 he is left with one more, when he arranges them in rows of 5 again he is left with 1 more, Same happens with when he tries to arrange them in rows of 7 and 9 that is 1 apple is left extra.

But when he arranges them in a row of 11 he is left with none. Can u tell me how many apples were there?

Ans

946

the no is a multiple of 3,5,7,9 + a remainder of 1. So

3* 5* 7* 9= 945 + 1 =946

946 /11= 86

so it is divisible by 11 also.

A dice has faces 1 against 6, 3 against 5 and 2 against 4 always. How many such combinations of faces are possible in a dice?

Ans

24

keeping 1 and 6 fixed, we can have two combinations of 6 and 3, and two of 2 and 4 that means four. And interchanging 1 and 6 we can have two more combinations that means with one pair 8 combinations are there : 4*2=8. Similarly with other two also 8 combos. So in all 8*3=24 combos are possible.

A boy’s age is 5 times as old as his sister. His father’s age is twice to that of his mother who is five times as old as the boy. The sum of all of them equals to that of his grandmother who is celeberating his 81st birthday. How old is the boy?

Ans:

5 years old

let boys age b x

sister’s = x/5

mother’s=5x

fatther’s=2(5x)

grandmother’s=81

81=x/5+x+5x+10x

paper 1

Indian Airlines came into being with the enactment of the Air Corporations Act 1953 and was entrusted with the responsibility of providing air transportation within the country as well as to the neighbouring countries. Indian Airlines was given the task to assimilate various dimensions of the eight private airlines, which were nationalized to provide well-coordinated, adequate, safe, efficient and economical air services. The airline began its operations on 1st August 1953.
At the time of nationalization, Indian Airlines inherited a fleet of 99 aircraft consisting of various types of aircraft which were gradually replaced by Viscount, F27 and HS748. Nineteen hundred and sixty four (1964) was the beginning of the jet era in Indian Airlines when the Caravelle aircraft was inducted into the fleet; B737 and A300 were introduced in 1970 and 1976 respectively while Caravelles were phased out. Between 1970 and 1982 Indian Airlines inducted 28 B737 aircraft in its fleet. Similarly 10 A300 aircraft were inducted from 1976 to 1982. Indian Airlines started inducting first batch of Airbus A320 aircraft (19 aircraft) in June, 1989.
Today, Indian Airlines, together with its fully owned subsidiary Alliance Air, has a fleet of 67 aircraft ( 4 wide bodied Airbus A300s, 47 fly-by-wire Airbus A320s, 11 Boeing 737s, 2 Dornier D-228 aircraft and 4 ATR-42).
Indian Airlines has been setting the standards for civil aviation in India since its inception in 1953. It has many firsts to its credit, including introduction of the wide-bodied A300 aircraft on the domestic network, the fly-by-wire A320, Domestic Shuttle Service, Walk-in Flights and Easy-fares. Its unique orange and white logo emblazoned on the tails of all its aircraft is perhaps the most widely recognized Indian brand symbol that has over the years become synonymous with service, efficiency and reliability.
