👆Ans. C
Explanation:
➡️ Capacity of the tank = L.C.M. of 16 and 20 = 80 units
➡️ Capacity of half-filled tank = 80/2 = 40 units
➡️ Efficiency of first pump = 80/16 = 5
➡️ Efficiency of second pump = 80/20 = 4
➡️ Time taken to fill the half-filled tank = 40/(5 + 4) = 40/9 min

👆Ans. C
Explanation:
➡️ 18 tractors can finish a work in 12 days.
➡️ So, 1 tractor can finish the same work in 18×12 days.
➡️ So, efficiency of a tractor = 1/(18×12)
➡️ 12 backhoe loaders can finish the same work in 9 days.
➡️ So, 1 backhoe loader can finish the same work in 12×9 days.
➡️ So, efficiency of a backhoe loader = 1/(12×9)
➡️ Required ratio = 1/(18×12):1/(12×9) = (12×9):(18×12) = 1 : 2

👆Ans. C
Explanation:
➡️ Ratio of A, B and C’s part = 3:7:5
➡️ Let their shares be 3x, 7x and 5x.
➡️ Difference between A’s and B’s part = 760
➡️ So, 7x – 3x = 760
➡️ Or 4x = 760
➡️ Or x = 760/4 = 190
➡️ So, C’s part = 5x = 5 × 190 = Rs. 950

Explanation:

➡️ Then, sum of first seven students’ ages = 7 × 18 = 126
➡️ Mean age of last seven students = 20
➡️ Then, sum of last seven students’ ages = 7 × 20 = 140
➡️ Mean age of all 13 students = 19
➡️ Then, sum of all 13 students’ ages = 13 × 19 = 247
➡️ So, seventh student’s age = (126 + 140) – 247 = 19

Explanation:
➡️ Given that a six-digit number N is formed using the digits 0, 3, 6 and 9 only, and each of the digits is used at least once.
➡️ The number is divisible by 18. Therefore, the number has to be divisible by both 2 and 9.
➡️ Sum of the digits of the number should be divisible by 9, and the unit’s digit of the number should be either 0 or 6.
➡️ Smallest possible such number is 300096.
➡️ Therefore, the digit at the ten’s place is 9.

👆Ans. C
Explanation:
➡️ Number of Officers in ATS, n(A) = 20
➡️ Number of Officers in cyber security, n(C) = 14
➡️ Number of Officers in both ATS and cyber security = n(A ∩ C) = 8
➡️ So, Number of Officers only in ATS = 20 – 8 = 12
➡️ Number of Officers only in cyber security = 14 – 8 = 6
➡️ Hence, number of officers only in ATS or only in cyber security = 12 + 6 = 18
