Why does ice wedging occur?
[ "water freezes", "water melts", "water evaporates", "water expands" ]
D
Ice wedging happens because water expands as it goes from liquid to solid. When the temperature is warm, water works its way into cracks in rock. When the temperature cools below freezing, the water turns to ice and expands. The ice takes up more space. Over time, this wedges the rock apart. Ice wedging is very effecti...

A and B can together finish a work 30 days. They worked together for 20 days and then B left. After another 20 days, A finished the remaining work. In how many days A alone can finish the work?
[ "60", "40", "54", "64" ]
A
(A + B)'s 20 day's work = (1/30 x 20 ) = 2/3 . Remaining work = (1 - 2/3 ) = 1/3 . Now, 1/3 work is done by A in 20 days. Therefore, the whole work will be done by A in (20 x 3) = 60 days. Answer : D

x, y and z are consecutive positive integers such that x < y < z; which of the following must be true? 1. xyz is divisible by 8 2. (z-x)(y-x+1) = 4 3. xy is odd
[ "I and II only", "I and II", "II only", "III only" ]
B
Since x, y and z are consecutive integers such that x < y < z, we can say x = y-1 and Z = y+1 Statement 1 would be true as at least one of the three numbers is divisible by 2 and one by 4 so xyz would be divisible by 8. Statement 2 can be simplified if we write everything in terms of y as ((y+1)-(y-1))*(y-(y-1)+1) = 2*...

A, B and C, each working alone can complete a job in 6, 8 and 12 days respectively. If all three of them work together to complete a job and earn $ 2340, what will be C's share of the earnings?
[ "$1080", "$1100", "$630", "$520" ]
D
Explanatory Answer A, B and C will share the amount of $2340 in the ratio of the amounts of work done by them. As A takes 6 days to complete the job, if A works alone, A will be able to complete 1/6 th of the work in a day. Similarly, B will complete 1/8th and C will complete 1/12th of the work. So, the ratio of the wo...

If a certain number of people can dig earth 100m deep, 25m long, and 30m broad in 12 days, then find the number of days the same number of people will require to dig earth 75m deep, 20m long and 50m broad.
[ "18", "17", "1", "12" ]
