Paper
started on 15th at 9:00 am at Tagore International School in Delhi
The
duration of the paper was 2.30 hrs.
For
the first half an hour a form was given to us and they ask us to fill
that.
It
contained d detailed information of our education with percentage and
rank.
I
think that is also considered during the evaluation of written paper.

solve
10
puzzles

Sandy's
uncle died leaving 1000 rs behind to be distributed among his five
nephews.
The
money is to be divided among the nephews according to their ages. A
person gets
Rs
20 more than his immediate younger brother.Sandy being the youngest
what was his share?
Ans.
Rs 160.0
It
was quite an easy one.
let
sandy's share be x
x+x+20+x+40+x+60+x+80=1000
5x+200=1000
x=800/5
x=160

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.

The

two days have the same temperature. Moreover the
product of all the 5 readings is 12. The difference is noted to
the nearest degrees. What were the readings of the temperature?
Ans:
-2, -1, 1, 2, 3
Factors
of 12: 4*3,6*2
2*2*3
bt 2 cant b repeated so -2 and to nullify
-ve sign -1 is there
so
-2 *-1 * 1 * 2 *3 = 12

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
81*5
= x+5x+ 25x +50x
405
= 81x
x=
405/81
x=5
so
boys age is 5 years
