Y = -9/7, -3/2 = -1.28, -1.5

Can’t be determined

3). Answer: e)

Explanation:

I. 4x2 + 23x – 72 = 0

4x2 + 32x – 9x – 72 = 0

Direction (6-10 :

6). Answer: c)

Explanation:

(62)4 ÷ (9720/45)3 × (96 × 81)2 = (6)x + 8

68 ÷ (216)3 × (7776)2 = 6x + 8

68 ÷ (63)3 × (65)2 = 6x + 8

68 ÷ (69) × (610) = 6x + 8

68 -9 + 10 = 6x+ 8

69 = 6x + 8

X + 8 = 9

X = 1

Answer: a)

7). Explanation:

(58/100)*1650 + (5/21)*20370 – (32/100)*1500 = x

X = 957 + 4850 – 480

X = 5327

8). Answer: d)

Explanation:

13 5/8 + 11 ¾ – 9 ½ – 10 1/4 + 5 ¼ = x

(13 + 11 – 9 – 10 + 5) (5/8 + ¾ – ½ – ¼ + 1/4) = x

X = 10 [(5 + 6 – 4)/8]

X = 10 (7/8)

9). Answer: b)

Explanation:

∛(373248) % of 750 – √26244 ÷ 27 = (3/7) * (4/3) * 2016 – x

72 % of 750 – (162/27) = (3/7) * (4/3) * 2016 – x

(72/100)*750 – 6 = 1152 – x

540 – 6 = 1152 – x

X = 1152 – 534

X = 618

10). Answer: a)

Explanation:

(52*52*22)/13 + 729 = 4x – (65/100)*3900

4576 + 729 + 2535 = 4x

4x = 7840

X = 1960

11). Answer: c)

Explanation:

The ratio between the present ages of P and Q = 3 : 5 (3x, 5x)

Present age of R = Present age of Q + 7 = 5x + 7

The average present age of P, Q and R = 24 years

The total present age of P, Q and R = 24*3 = 72 years

According to the question,

3x + 5x + 5x + 7 = 72

13x = 65

X = 5

Present age of R = 5x + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32 years

12). Answer: a)

Explanation:

The share of A, B and C

= > [x*12] : [2x*6 + (2x + 6000)*6] : [4x*12] = 20 : 43 : 80

= > [12x] : [12x + 12x + 36000] : [48x] = 20 : 43 : 80

= > 12x : 24x + 36000 : 48x = 20 : 43 : 80

According to the question,

= > 12x/(24x + 36000) = (20/43)

= > 120x + 180000 = 129x

= > 9x = 180000

= > x = 20000

The initial investment of C = 4x = Rs. 80000

13). Answer: d)

Explanation:

Total Quantity = 240 liters

The ratio of milk to water = 7 : 5

Milk = 140 liters, Water = 100 liters

According to the question,

140/(100 + x) = 7/8

160 = 100 + x

X= 60 liters

So, 60 liters of water should be added.

14). Answer: b)

Explanation:

A’s whole work,

(2/3)*A’s work = 16

A’s work = 16*(3/2) = 24 days

(A+ B)’s work = 8 days

B’s one day work = (1/8) – (1/24) = 1/12

B’s whole work = 12 days

(B : C)’s efficiency = 1 : 2

(B : C)’s day ratio = 2 : 1

So, 2’s = 12

1’s = 6

C’s whole work = 6 days

15). Answer: c)

Explanation:

Let the original fraction be x/y,

[X*(125/100)] / [y*(85/100)] = 35/68

x/y = (35/68)*(85/125)

x/y = (7/20)

Direction (16-20) :

16). Answer: b)

Explanation:

Total profits of company P, R and T together in the year 2015

= > 75 + 85 + 80 = 240 lakhs

Total profits of company Q, R and S together in the year 2017

= > 70 + 110 + 135 = 315 lakhs

Required % = (240/315)*100 = 75 %

17). Answer: C)

Explanation:

The average profits of all the given companies together in the year 2016

= > (50 + 80 + 120 + 130 + 110)/5

= > 490/5 = 98 lakhs

18). Answer: a)

Explanation:

Total profits of all the given years together in the year 2015

= > 75 + 100 + 85 + 95 + 80 = 435 lakhs

Total profits of all the given years together in the year 2017

= > 60 + 70 + 110 + 135 + 125 = 500 lakhs

Required difference = 500 – 435 = 65 lakhs

19). Answer: c)

Explanation:

The total profits of company Q in all the given years together

= > 100 + 80 + 70 = 250 lakhs

The total profits of company R in all the given years together

= > 85 + 120 + 110 = 315 lakhs

Required ratio = 250 : 315 = 50 : 63

20). Answer: b)

Explanation:

Total profits of company P in all the given years together

= > 75 + 50 + 60 = 185 lakhs

Total profits of company S in all the given years together

= > 95 + 130 + 135 = 360 lakhs

Required % = [(360 – 185)/360]*100 = 48.6 % = 50 % less
