Outside a meeting room, Madhukar was told by a person that each meeting takes place after 13/4 hours. The last meeting has been over just 45 minutes ago, and the next meeting will take place at 2 pm. At what time did Madhukar receive this information? Correct Answer 11:30 am

Time between each meeting = 13/4 = 3 hours 15 min

But 45 minutes has already elapsed

⇒ Time remaining for next meeting = 3 hours 15 min – 45 min = 2 hours 30 min

The meeting will happen at 2 pm

∴ The time at which Madhukar received the information = 2hours 30 min before 2 pm = 11:30 pm

Paddy transplantation in Punjab is a very hard labor-intensive back-breaking job. In the transplant season, teams of special people swarm the entire rural landscape employed by the farmers and can be seen laboring away in the fields under the hot sweltering sun. Farmer Jagtar Singh has a full-time help at his sprawling farm who goes by the name of Hari, and who hails from Allahabad, UP. During the paddy transplant season, it is up to Hari to rope in his brothers, sons, and cousins from his native village to complete the task well in time. All his people are skillful and masters of the trade and equally efficient at their jobs. So, this past season, this is how the work went. Hari started the work and after 't' hours was joined in by his brother Jaggi. After another 't' hours, Neelu, their cousin, also jumped into the fray. So, after every 't' hours, 1 person kept on joining the team of already working men, and this process kept on continuing till the completion of the work. The last person worked for 't' hours. In the last season, the very same men had completed the same work working 2 shifts of 12 hours all of them working simultaneously owing to some peculiar weather conditions and time constraints. Jagtar Singh is a fair and just paymaster which is why he faces no labor shortage at this crucial time and which is why the whole 'Hari clan' are more than happy to work for him and are at his beck and call. He pays each of them individually proportional to the work done by them. This time around, Hari received 11 times as much as Surinder, his eldest son, who was the last person to join in. In how much time was the work completed?
Given below are three quantities named A, B and C. Based on the given information; you have to determine the relationship between the two quantities.

The options represent the relations between these three quantities A) > B) < C) = D) ≤ E) ≥ Two pipes P and Q can fill an empty tank in 20 minutes and 30 minutes respectively. Quantity A: If both pipes are opened simultaneously, then after what certain time P should be closed so that further time after which the tank is filled in 15 minutes? Quantity B: If both are opened and P is closed after 8 minutes, how much further time would it take for Q to fill the bucket? Quantity C: Pipe A and B can fill a tank in 15 minutes and 10 minutes respectively. Pipe C can empty the tank in 5 minutes. Pipe A and B are opened simultaneously and after the 4-minute pipe, C is also opened. In what time the tank will be emptied?
Mr. Madhukar worked for 5 years in a multi-commodity trading company after graduating from a reputed B-School. He then resigned from his job and started an online garment export business. For his business Madhukar used Rs. 8,00,000/- of his own savings and borrowed Rs. 12,00,000/- from a private sector bank in April, the beginning month of the financial year. Meanwhile, RBI eased the repo rate in May and banks passed on the benefits to the borrowers. As a result, Madhukar borrowed an additional Rs. 9,00,000/- after 4 months at an interest rate that is 10% lower than his earlier borrowing interest rate. If the total interest paid by Madhukarat at the end of that year on both the loans is Rs. 1,39,200/-, what is the interest rate per annum on first borrowing?
Given below are quantities named A,B and C. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relation between the quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose among the possible answer. Quantity A: Tap1 and Tap2 can fill the tank in 16 hours and 25 hours respectively. Both the taps opened together. After some time Tap 1 is closed and after that the tank is filled in 12 hours. In how many hour Tap 1 and 2 work together? Quantity B: Three taps 1, 2, 3 can fill a cistern in 10,14,18 hours respectively. If tap 1 is kept open all the time and tap 2 and 3 is opened alternatively for an hour then find in how many hours the tank will be filled? Quantity C: Two taps 1 and 2 are such that tap 1 fills the tank in 10 hours and tap2 empties it in 20 hours. If tap 1 is opened first and after 5 hours tap 1 is closed and tap 2 is opened, then the tank emptied in x hours and find the value of x?
In the following question, two statements are numbered as A and B. On solving these statements, we get quantities A and B respectively. Solve both quantities and choose the correct option. Quantity A: Pipe A takes thrice the time taken by Pipe B to fill a tank. Together they can fill the tank in 15 hours, tank A and B is opened together for 4 hours and then Pipe A is closed and after 2 more hours Pipe B is closed and an outlet Pipe C is opened which when working alone can empty the tank in 10 hours. Calculate the time taken by C to empty the tank. Quantity B: A pipe A can fill the tank in 10 hours another pipe B can fill the tank in 15 hours and with the help of third pipe C they can fill the tank in 5 hours. Pipe A is opened for 4 hours then it is closed, pipe B is closed 3 hours before filling of tank and tank C is opened the whole time. Calculate the time taken to fill the tank
