has neither Green nor Blue color
beneath

beneath

(5) Uncle Reuben and Aunt Cynthia
came to town to shop Reuben bought a
Suit and hat together for $15.
Cynthia paid as much as for her hat as Reuben
did for his suit then she spent
the rest of her money for a new dress.

Reuben’s attention to the fact that his hat
cost $1 more than her dress. Then
she added, “if we had divided our hat money
differently so that we bought two
different hats, mine costing 1 and 1/2 time
than yours, then we each would
have spent the same amount of money.”
“In that case,” said
uncle Reuben “how much would my hat have cost?” [6]

(6) Due to some defect in our elevator,
I was climbing down the staircase.
I’d climbed down just 7 steps
when I saw a man on the ground floor.
Continuing to walk down, I greeted
the man and I was surprised to see that
when I was yet to get down 4 steps
to reach the ground floor, the man had
already finished climbing the staircase.
He perhaps climbed up 2 steps for
every 1 of mine. How many steps
did the staircase have?
Ans:22 steps
(7) A man is preparing a decorative
showcase for his precious stones
Amthyest,Diamond,Sapphire,Rupy,Opal,Garnet,Emerald.
There are two shelves, one right
and the other left. A is put on the left side, while D is put on
the right side.
R cannot be put where D is put,
whereas S and E have to be put togetheralways.
There were four questions asked
regarding the presence of stones, for example, (8)
(i) Which of these stones can be
put in the left shelf?
B)which of these combinations are
put in the right shelf
C)if Sapphire is displayed in the
left shelf which of these occur in the right shelf?
D)if Sapphire is displayed in the
right shelf which of these occur in the left shelf?
The question was very simple and
easy to do.
(8) A boy goes to school from his
house. On one fourth of his way to school, he crosses a
machinery station. And on one third
of his way to school, he crosses a Railway station.
He crossed the machinery station
at 7:30 and he crosses the Railway station at 7:35.
When does he leave the house &
when does he reach the school? [5]
Ans:the boy leaves at 7:15 and reaches
school at 8:15
x/3-x/4=x/12
x/12 in 5minutes
so x/4 takes 15 minutes
hence the boy left home 15 min before
7.30=7:15
and will reach school at 8:15.
