Initial facing direction is North Turn left changes orientation to West Turn right changes orientation back to North Final turn left changes orientation to West Option A: East is the opposite direction of his final orientation, resulting from an incorrect turn count. Option C: North was his orientation before executing the final left turn. Option D: South would require two consecutive left or right turns from his previous heading.

  10. Q250Clocks, calendars and ages

    A's age is four times B's age. B is 5 years older than C. If C's age is 6 years, what is A's age?

    • a15
    • b24
    • c44Answer
    • d20
    Explanation

    Option C is correct because B is 11 years old, which makes A four times 11, or 44 years old. C's age = 6 B's age = 6 + 5 = 11 A's age = 4 * 11 = 44 Option A: It adds 4 to B's age instead of multiplying by 4. Option B: It multiplies C's age directly by 4, ignoring B's additional years. Option D: It multiplies B's age minus 6 by 4.

  11. Q251Number system and basic operations

    In a zoo, there are deer and peacocks. There are a total of 80 heads. There are a total of 200 legs. How many peacocks are there in the zoo?

    • a60Answer
    • b20
    • c50
    • d30
    Explanation

    Option A is correct because setting up simultaneous equations for the total heads and legs reveals that there are 60 peacocks and 20 deer. Let d be the number of deer (4 legs) and p be the number of peacocks (2 legs). d + p = 80 4d + 2p = 200 Multiply the first equation by 4: 4d + 4p = 320 Subtract the second equation: 2p = 120 p = 60 Option B: 20 is the number of deer in the zoo, not peacocks. Option C: 50 peacocks and 30 deer would produce 2(50) + 4(30) = 220 legs, not 200. Option D: 30 peacocks and 50 deer would produce 2(30) + 4(50) = 260 legs, not 200.

  12. Q252Number system and basic operations

    There are two boxes, A and B, containing pens. If 10 pens from box B are transferred to box A, the total number of pens in box A becomes three times the number of pens in box B. But, if 10 pens from box A are transferred to box B, the number of pens in both boxes becomes equal. Then, how many pens are there in box A and box B respectively?

    • a30 and 20
    • b80 and 70
    • c50 and 30Answer
    • d70 and 50
    Explanation

    Option C is correct because having 50 pens in box A and 30 pens in box B satisfies both transfer conditions given in the problem. A + 10 = 3(B - 10) gives A - 3B = -40 A - 10 = B + 10 gives A - B = 20 Subtracting gives 2B = 60, so B = 30 and A = 50 Option A: 30 and 20 fails because transferring 10 pens to A gives 40 and 10, which is four times rather than three times. Option B: 80 and 70 fails because transferring 10 pens from A to B leaves 70 and 80, which are unequal. Option D: 70 and 50 fails because transferring 10 pens to A yields 80 and 40, which is double instead of triple.

  13. Q253Time, work, speed and distance

    If 3/8th of a tank is filled in 30 minutes, how much time will it take for the tank to be completely filled?

    • aOne hour 10 minutes
    • b1 hour 20 minutesAnswer
    • c1 hour 25 minutes
    • d1 hour 30 minutes
    Explanation

    Option B is correct because the time required to fill the entire tank is obtained by dividing the given time by the fraction filled. Fraction filled in 30 minutes = 3/8 Total time to fill the entire tank = 30 × (8/3) = 80 minutes 80 minutes = 1 hour 20 minutes Option A: One hour 10 minutes corresponds to 70 minutes, which is incorrect. Option C: 1 hour 25 minutes corresponds to 85 minutes, an overestimation. Option D: 1 hour 30 minutes corresponds to 90 minutes, which assumes 3/9th was filled.
