11) Answers : B)

The ratio of investment of Abhishek and Abhijit = 3 : 4

The ratio of share of Abhishek and Abhijit = 10000 : 40000 = 1: 4

Investment*Period = Ratio of profit

The ratio of time period of Abhishek and Abhijit = (1/3) : (4/4) = 1 : 3

12) Answer : C)

Let CP = 100n

Hence MP = 130n

And SP = 130n x 0.8 = 104n

Profit = 4n = 50

=> n = 12.5

Hence cost price = Rs. 1250

13) Answers : D)

S.I = (P*n*r)/100

35000 = (P*5*10)/100

P = (35000*100)/50

P = Rs. 70000

Compound Interest:

70000*(6/100) = 4200

74200*(6/100) = 4452

C.I = 4200 + 4452 = Rs. 8652

14) Answer : B)

The share of Rishi, Kunal and Nimi,

= > [6*2 + 12*1] : [7*3] : [12*2]

= >24 : 21 : 24

= >8 : 7 : 8

23’s = 69000

1’s = 3000

The difference between the shares of Kunal and Nimi in the total profit

= > (8’s – 7’s) = Rs. 3000

15) Answers : A)

Let the two numbers be x and y,

X – Y = 540

(32/100)*X = (48/100)*Y

(X/Y) = 3/2

X : y = 3 : 2

1’s = 540

The two numbers be,

= > 3’s = (540*3) = 1620

= > 2’s = (540*2) = 1080

16) Answer : B)

Priyanka = Renuka + 8

The ratio of the present ages of Priyanka to Myna = 4 : 5 (4x, 5x)

Renuka = Myna – 16

Renuka’s present age = 5x – 16

Priyanka = Renuka + 8

4x = 5x – 16 + 8

8 = 5x – 4x

X = 8

Present age of Renuka = 5x – 16 = 40 – 16 = 24 years

17) Answer : D)

The ratio of speed of downstream to that of upstream = 3 : 1

Speed of stream = 100/40 = 5/2 m/s = (5/2)*(18/5) = 9 Km/hr

(1/2)*(3x – x) = 9

X = 9

Speed of boat in still water = (1/2)*(4x) = 2x = 18 Km/hr

Distance covered in 1 hour = 18 km

18) Answer : C)

Let total capacity of the tank be T litres

Part of tank filled when all the pipes are opened = T*(1/12+1/10-1/15) = 7T/60

Total tank filled in 8 hours = (7T/60)*8 = 56T/60 =14T/15

According to the question,

= > (14T/15) + 200 = T

= > T/15 = 200

= > T = 3000 litres

19) Answer : A)

Let the C.P be x,

M.P = 1500 + C.P = 1500 + x

  1. P = (1500 + x) – 250 = 1250 + x

S.P = (120/100)*x =(6/5)x

1250 + x = (6/5)x

6250 + 5x = 6x

C.P(X) = 6250

To earn a profit of 30 %,

  1. P = (130/100)*6250 = Rs. 8125

20) Answer : C)

Total probability n(S) = 16C3

Required probability n(E) = 7C1 and 5C1 and 4C1

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

P(E) = (7C1 and 5C1 and 4C1)/ 16C3

P(E) = ¼

21) Answer : B)

Total students in Aeronautical and Chemical = 216 + 141 = 357

Total students in Civil and electronics = 500 + 310 = 810

Required ratio = 357 : 810 = 119 : 270

22) Answer : A)

Total students in 2004 in all the given branches together

= > 109 + 110 + 115 + 80 + 60 + 30 = 504

Required average = 504/6 = 84

23) Answer : E)

Total number of students in 2002

= > 75 + 80 + 65 + 46 + 25 + 19 = 310

Total number of students in 2003

= > 85 + 95 + 108 + 60 + 35 + 27 = 410

Required percentage = [(410 – 310)/310] * 100 = 32.26%

24) Answer : B)

Total Students in Mechanical = 50 + 75 + 85 + 109 + 120 = 439

Total Students in Chemical = 15 + 19 + 27 + 30 + 50 = 141

Total Students in Civil = 24 + 46 + 60 + 80 + 100 = 310

Total Electronic, Computer Science and Aeronautical students in all the given years together

= > 439 + 141 + 310 = 890

Total Students in Electronic = 65 + 80 + 95 + 110 + 150 = 500

Total Students in Computer Science = 45 + 65 + 108 + 115 + 145 = 478

Total Students in Aeronautical = 11 + 25 + 35 + 60 + 85 = 216

Total Mechanical, Chemical and Civil students in all the given years together

= > 500 + 478 + 216 = 1194

Required difference = 1194 – 890 = 304

25) Answer : D)

From the given figure,

Growth in mechanical students:

In 2002: [(75 – 50)/150] * 100 = 50%

In 2003: [(85 – 75)/175] * 100 = 13.33%

In 2004: [009 – 85)/85] * 100 = 28.23%

In 2005: [020 – 109)/109] * 100 = 10.09%

26) Answer : A)

54 + 94 – (45/100)*800 = x + (1188/9) – 1296

54 + 94 – 360 + 1296 = x + 132

54 + 94 – 360 + 1296 – 132 = x

X = 952

27) Answer : B)

X % of 900 = 1770 – 160 % of 150

(x/100)*900 = 1770 – (160 * 150)/100

9x = 1770 – 240

x = 1530/9 = 170

28) Answer : B)

x = 140 * (30/7) – √1225

x = 20 * 30 – 35

x = 600 – 35 = 565

29) Answer : D)

15 1/3 – 4 1/6 + 8 5/12 – 7 2/3 – 2 7/12 = x

(15 – 4 + 8 – 7 – 2) (1/3 – 1/6 + 5/12 – 2/3 – 7/12) = x

10 [(4 – 2 + 5 – 8 – 7)/12] = x

X = 10 (-8/12) = 10 (-2/3)

X = (30 – 2)/3 = 28/3 = 9 1/3

30) Answer : C)

11 *x* 9 = 542 + 54

99 x = 2916 + 54

x = 2970/99 = 30

31) Answer : C)

(26/100)*400 + (48/100)*700 – (25/100)*450 = x

104 + 336 – 112.5 = x

X = 327.5 = 330

32)  Answer : A)

(8/36)*(63/216)*756 – 342 + (67/100)*600 = x

X = 49 – 342 + 402

X = 109 = 110

33) Answer : B)

41 % of 700 + 69 % of 800 – 35 % of 750 = x

X = (41/100)*700 + (69/100)*800 – (35/100)*750

X = 287 + 552 – 262.5

X = 576.5 = 577

34) Answer : E)

(33451/11) + (5/7)*12544 + (52/100)*2500 = x2 – 388

3041 + 8960 + 1300 + 388 = x2

X2 = 13689

X = 117

35) Answer : E)

120 % of 1800 + (3/7)*6888 = x + 219

(120/100)*1800 + (3/7)*6888 = x + 219

2160 + 2952 – 219 = x

X = 4893 = 4890
