An Arab flying on his magic carpet finds that the speed with which his carpet moves varies directly as the carpet's
al tude and inversely as the amount of gold on it. At a certain al tude and with a certain amount of gold on the
carpet, the speed is 50 m/s. What will be the speed of the carpet, if the Arab halves the al tude and doubles the
weight of gold on the carpet?
25 m/s
12.5 m/s
50 m/s
37.5 m/s

Three flexible pipes that can serve as inlet as well as outlet pipes have been a ached to a tank. The rates of filling
or emptying the tank by these three pipes are in the ra o 1 : 2 : 4. The largest pipe can alone fill the empty tank in
7 hours. Ini ally the tank is full and the three pipes were used as outlet pipes for ‘M’ hours. A er the tank is
emp ed, later the smallest pipe alone filled the en re tank in 28 hours. Find the value of ‘M’.

Explanation:
Let the capacity of the three pipes be x, 2x and 4x litres per hour.
As the largest pipe fills the empty tank in 7 hours, capacity of the tank = 7 × 4x = 28x
The smallest pipe took 28 hours to fill the tank. Therefore, it has filled the empty tank.
i.e., the three pipes must have emp ed the tank.

An immiscible mixture contains three different types of liquids A, B and C. The ra o of liquids A and B is 1 : 2 and
the volume of liquid C is 20 litres. 5 litres of C and 2 litres of A are replaced by equal volumes of liquid B. The ra o
of liquids A and B becomes 1 : 3. Find the volume of the mixture (in litres).

Change Section here
Explanation:
Let the ini al volume of liquids A and B be x and 2x.
Total volume of mixture = x + 2x + 20 = 3x + 20
Final volume of liquid A = x – 2
Final volume of liquid B = 2x + 7
Final volume of liquid C = 15
Therefore, 3(x – 2) = (2x + 7)
Or, x = 13
Volume of the mixture = 3x + 20 = 59 litres.
Hence, [3].

There are 100 bo les of a drink, out of which only one bo le is poisoned. Anyone who tastes the drink from the
poisoned bo le would die in one hour. However, there is no harm if the drink from other bo les is tasted. A test is
to be conducted using rats to iden fy the poisoned bo le. What is the minimum number of rats needed for the
test if the poisoned bo le is to be iden fied in exactly one hour me? Assume that the me taken by the rats to
drink the contents of the bo le is negligible and that rats can drink the contents of as many bo les as we make
them to drink.

Explanation:
If we look at the binary representa on of the bo les numbered 1 to 100, all numbers ll 100 can be represented using 7 digits.
Now, let us arrange the 7 mice in a row and number them 1 to 7. A mouse is to take a sip from a bo le if the digit
corresponding to its posi on is 1.
For example, is a number is 1011010, mice numbered 1, 3, 4 and 6 will take a sip from this bo le. This way we will be able to
iden fy the combina on of 1s for the bo le that contains poison.
So, in general the no. of mice needed to iden fy a poisoned bo le would be n such that the number of bo les < 2n & n is the
least such integer.
As 100 < 27, n = 7
Therefore, the required answer is 7.

120

Explanation:
Number the marbles 1 through 19 in order.
We note that the condi on is equivalent to s pula ng that the marbles have either all odd numbers or all even numbers.
There are 10C7 ways to choose 7 odd-numbered marbles, and 9C7 ways to choose all even-numbered marbles, so the total
number of ways to pick the marbles is 10C7 + 9C7 = 120 + 36 = 156
Hence, [3].

Explanation:
T = 0!(1 × 2 – 1) + 1!(2 × 3 – 1) + 2!(3 × 4 – 1) + … + 20!(21 × 22 – 1)
= 1 + (3! – 1!) + (4! – 2!) + (5! – 3!) + (6! – 4!) + … + (22! – 20!)
= 1 – 1! – 2! + 21! + 22!
Now, 294 = 2 × 3 × 72
⇒ 294 divides 21! and 22!
T = 294m – 2, for some integer m.
The remainder = 294 – 2 = 292
Hence, [4].
