GATE 2017 MOCK I

Question 1
Suppose there are two teams A and B. Both of them are competing with each other on a racing track of 1 km. But team A has got the advantage of starting the race from 280 m from the starting point. If the ratio of speed of A to B is 3:4.

Select the correct option from the options given below:
Cross
Team A will win by 20m
Cross
Team B will win by 20m
Tick
Team A will win by 40m
Cross
Team B will win by 40m


Question 1-Explanation: 
To win the race first, A has to cover (1000 – 280) m = 720m B covers 4 part of distance when A covers 3 part of it. So, if A covers 720m, then B covers (4/3 * 720)m i.e. 960m Hence, A will win the race by 40m.
Question 2
There are 5 brothers in a family. All were born at a gap of 3 years. If the sum total of ages of 5 brothers is 100. What is the age of 2nd most elder brother ?
Cross
13
Cross
15
Tick
23
Cross
26


Question 2-Explanation: 
Let the age of youngest brother be x Then, x + (x + 3) + (x + 6) + (x + 9) + (x + 12) = 100 => 5x = 70 => x = 14 Therefore, age of 2nd most elder brother = 14 + 9 = 23.
Question 3
If there are 5 persons who can work individually and complete a work in 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 hours respectively. If they work together then how much time will it take to finish the work ?
Cross
2.36 hours
Cross
1.24 hours
Tick
0.80 hours
Cross
2.56 hours


Question 3-Explanation: 
In 1 hour, ½ + ¼ + ⅕ +⅙ + ⅛ = 149/120 = 1.24 is the work done. Hence, total time to complete the work would be = 1/1.24 = 0.80 hours
Question 4
If we increase the sides of a rectangular park by 20% , then, what is the total increase in the area of that park ?
Cross
21 %
Cross
33 %
Cross
42 %
Tick
44 %


Question 4-Explanation: 
Let length of park = L and breadth of park = B Original Area = BL m2 New Length = 120L/100 = 6L/5 New Breadth = 120B/100 = 6B/5 New Area = 36LB/25 m2 so, Change in area = New – Original = 11LB/25 m2 % increase = Change / original * 100 = 44%
Question 5
