Answers:
1) Answer: B)
(43200 – 14400)÷ 2 = ?²
28800/2 =?²
14400 = ?2
120 = ?
2) Answer: D)
7850 – 3460 + 75 % of 862 – ? = 120/8
7850 – 3460 + 646.5 – 15 = ?
5021.5=?
3) Answer: A)
7700 – 7188 + (600 – 112) = ?³
1000 = ?³
10 = ?
4) Answer: C)
1728.75 – 512.25 + 728.899 + 1888.999 =?
1729 – 512 + 729 + 1889 = 3835
5) Answer: B)
 (√4356 × √1296) ÷ √1936 = ?
 (66*36)/44=?
 54=?
6) Answer: D)
From 1
We can’t find the length, because time taken to cross each other alone given.
From 2
We can find speed of the train
Let, speed of the train 1= s1, speed of the train 2 =s2
S1+s2=76, s1-s2=12
Thus s1= 44km/hr, s2=32km/hr
By merging these two statements we can find only total length.
Thus, length of the trains can’t be determined by given data.
7) Answer: E)
From 1, we know discounted price only. So can’t find the marked price.
From 2, by using given data we know that profit =120 and % of profit =20%
So cost price=120*100/20=600
And selling price=600+120=720
By merging these two statements we can find the marked price of the article.
Thus marked price of the article =720+200 = 920
8) Answer: A)
From 1 we can find the interest rate by using given data,
From given data,
N=2, A=15500Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â P=14000
SI=1500
W.k.t, SI=PNR/100
Thus statement 1 only sufficient to answer the questions
9) Answer: E)
From 1
Data given is L = 2a  and √ (l²+b²) = 10
From 2
Data given is, a√2 = 4√2
a=4
By merging 1 and 2 we can find the L and b separately and area of rectangle.
10) Answer: E)
From 1 and 2, we can find the average of four persons by using these two statements.
11) Answer: D)
18, 36, 12, 24, 8, ?
The pattern is, *2, ÷3 (alternatively)
? should be 16
12) Answer: A)
33, 132, 396, 1584, 4752, ?
The pattern is, *4, *3 (alternatively)
? should be 19008
13) Answer: B)
2, 20, 150, 750, ?
The pattern is, *10, *7.5, *5, *2.5,…
 ? should be 1875
14) Answer: C)
The correct series is,
27 should be 28
 15) Answer: E)
The correct series is,
256Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 128Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 32 Â Â Â Â Â Â 4Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0.25
The pattern is, ÷2, ÷4, ÷8, ÷16
8 should be 4
Directions (16 – 20)
16) Answer: C)
Speed of the taxi C= fare per hour/fare per km
= 600/12
= 50 km/hr
 Thus, distance covered by taxi C = 8*50 = 400 km
17) Answer: B)
From given data
W.k.t, total time taken to cover 520 km with 40 km/hr speed=520/40=13 hrs
Fare per hour for taxi B = Rs. 800
Thus total fare have to be paid =13*800 = Rs.10400
18) Answer: D)
Total amount = (1500 + 4800 + 6400) = Rs.12700
19) Answer: A)
From given data
Fare per km for taxi A = 250/50 = 5 rupees per km
Arun has to pay after increase = (6*50)*(5+5) = Rs. 3000
20) Answer: E)
One hour travel expense by all three persons = (250+800+600) =1650
Thus total travel expense for 39 hours=39*1650 = Rs. 64350
21) Answer: C)
I) 18X² -39X + 18 =0
18X² -27X-12X + 18 =0
X=27/18, 12/18 = 1.5, 0.66
II) 9Y² – 36Y +36
9Y² – 18Y-18Y +36 =0
Y= 18/9, 18/9 = 2, 2
X < y
22) Answer: C)
I) X² + 12X+36=0
(X + 6) (X + 6) = 0
X= -6, -6
II) Y² – 24Y +119=0
(Y – 17) (Y – 7) = 0
Y = 17, 7
X < y
23) Answer: A)
I) 14X² – 29X + 12=0
14X² – 21X-8X + 12=0
7x (2x – 3) – 4(2x – 3) = 0
(7x – 4) (2x – 3) = 0
X= 4/7, 3/2 = 0.57, 1.5
II) 7Y² +18Y – 9 = 0
7Y² + 21Y – 3Y – 9 = 0
7y (y + 3) – 3 (y + 3) = 0
(7y – 3) (y + 3) = 0
Y= 3/7, -3 = 0.428, -3
X >Y
24) Answer: E)
I) 7X² -10X + 3 = 0
7X² -7X – 3X + 3 = 0
7x(x – 1) – 3(x – 1) = 0
(7x – 3) (x – 1) = 0
X=1, 3/7 = 1, 0.428
II) 8Y² + 10Y – 18 =0
8Y² -8Y+18Y – 18 =0
8y (y – 1) + 18 (y – 1) = 0
(8y + 18) (y – 1) = 0
Y= -18/8, 1 = -2.25, 1
Thus relationship cannot be established.
25) Answer: A)
I) 2X² + 11X +15 =0
 2X² + 6X+5X +15 =0
X= -6/2, -5/2 = -3, -2.5
II) Y² +11Y +28 =0
Y² +7Y+4Y +28 =0
Y=-7, -4
X >Y
26) Answer: C)
Wkt, Distance=speed * time
Here distance = train length + platform length
So speed of the train A = (200+400)/25 = 24 m/s
Speed of the train B= (260+400)/30 = 22 m/s
Thus ratio of time taken to cross the pole = (200/2
27) Answer: A)
Ratio of profit of A and B
= > (75000*6 +80000*6+85000*6+90000*6) : (60000*6+65000*6+70000*6+75000*6)
= > 1980000 : 1620000 = 11 : 9
Thus profit share of A= 60000*(11/20) = Rs. 33000
28) Answer: D)
From given data A works for 5 hours.
Total time taken to fill the tank is X.
Thus total time taken to fill the tank
= > (5/24) + (x/48) = 1
 = > X = 38 hrs
29) Answer: A)
(20 % – 15 %) of cost price = 3780
5 % of cost price = 3780
Cost price = 3780*(100/5) = Rs. 75600
30) Answer: D)
Ratio of cost price, selling price and marked price = 28 : 35 : 60
Discount % = [(60 – 35)/60]*100 = 41.67%
31) Answer: C)
Number of occupied seats = (9860/145) + (3680/115) = 100
32) Answer: A)
Total amount collected from theatre X = (70*95) + (80*70) = 12250
Total amount collected from Z = (70*125) + (80*120) = 18350
Thus required difference = 18350 – 12250 = 6100
33) Answer: B)
Required ratio = 260 : 185 = 52 : 37
34) Answer: D)
Required percentage = (30/70)*100 = 42.85%
35) Answer: E)
Required ratio = (3x*140) : (x*125) = 84 : 25
