e) None of these

Answers:

1) Answer: a)

The ratio of ages of P, 4 years ago and the ages of Q, 3 years after = 3 : 5 (3x, 5x)

Present ages of P and Q = 3x + 4, 5x – 3

According to the question,

3x + 4 + 5x – 3 = 49

8x + 1 = 49

8x = 48

X = 6

Present age of P = 3x + 4 = 22

The age of P, 3 years after = 25 years

2) Answer: d)

Total probability n(S) = 14C2

Required probability n(E) = 5C2 or 6C2

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = (5C2 or 6C2) / 14C2

= > 25/91

3) Answer: b)

They meet x hours after 8 a.m.

Distance covered by A in x hours = 30x km

Distance covered by B in (x – 1) hours = 45(x – 1) km

30x + 45(x – 1) = 180

30x + 45x = 180 + 45

75x = 225

X = 3

They meet at 11 a.m.

4) Answer: c)

The investment of Agila, Manoj = 2 : 1

Agila’s investment = (4/7)* Prithika’s investment

The investment of Manoj and Prithika = 4 : 7

The investment of Agila, Manoj and Prithika = 8 : 4 : 7

Here, the period is not given. So,

The ratio of investment = The ratio of profit

Total profit = Rs. 123500

19’s = 123500

1’s = 6500

The share of Manoj = 4’s = Rs. 26000

5) Answer: b)

C.I = P*[(1 + (r/100))n – 1]

7881.25 = P*[(1 + 5/100)3 – 1]

7881.25 = P*[(105/100)3 – 1]

7881.25 = P*[(21/20)3 – 1]

7881.25 = P*[(9261/8000) – 1]

7881.25 = P*(1261/8000)

7881.25*(8000/1261) = P

P = Rs. 50000

6) Answer: a)

Let the cost price of the item be x

So,

125 % of x – 90 % of x = 700

35 % of x = 700

35x/100 = 700

x = (700*100)/35

x = 2000

Cost price of the item = Rs. 2000

7) Answer: c)

Mahesh’s score = 424 marks, Sanjay = 72 % = Mahesh’s score – 8

Sanjay = 424 + 8 = 432 = 72 % of total marks

(72/100)*x = 432

X = 432*(100/72) = 600

Minimum passing marks = 35 % of total marks

= > (35/100)*600 = 210

Mahesh scored 214 marks more than the passing marks.

8) Answer: d)

Volume of the cylinder = πr2h

The ratio of volume of cylinder 1 and 2 = 3 : 4

The ratio of radius of cylinder 1 and 2 = 5 : 6

The ratio between the heights of cylinder 1 to that of cylinder 2

= > [π*(25x2)*h1]/[ π*(36x2)*h2] = (3/4)

= > h1/h2 = (27/25)

= > h1 : h2 = 27 : 25

9) Answer: c)

Total time taken by him = 5 hours 15 min = 5 15/60 = 5 1/4 hours

T = D/S

(x/4)/40 + (3x/4)/60 = 5 1/4

x/40 + 3x/60 = (21/4)*4

(3x + 6x)/120 = 21

9x = 21*120

X = (21*120)/9

X = 280 km

10) Answer: b)

Men            days            work

150             56               1

150             36               3/5

?                 20               2/5

(Men1*day1)/work1 = (Men2*day2)/work2

150*36/(3/5) = x*20/(2/5)

= > x= 180

30 more men included to finish the work.

Directions (Q. 11 – 15):

11) Answer: d)

(39/153) * (15.3/100) * (47/3) * x = 1833

X = 1833*(10*100)/(13*47)

X = 3000

12) Answer: a)

(17450/349) + (102*98) – 729 = x

X = 50 + 9996 – 729

X = 9317

13) Answer: c)

56 + (45/100)*350 – (64/100)*250 = x

X = 56 + 157.5 – 160

X = 53.5

14) Answer: b)

(29/400)*7200 + (95/300)*5400 = x – (52/100)*700

522 + 1710 + 364 = x

X = 2596

15) Answer: c)

(53/8)*12*12 + 46 = x + (12375/15)

954 + 46 = x + 825

X = 1000 – 825

X = 175

Directions (Q. 16 – 20):

16) Answer: d)

462 + 1170 = (2x/5)

1632*(5/2) = x

X = 4080

17) Answer: a)

15*(280/7) + x – 2900 = 325

600 + x – 2900 = 325

X = 325 + 2900 – 600

X = 2625

18) Answer: c)

125 × 333 ÷ [(37/100)*1800] = x – 729

(125*333)/(37*18) = x – 729

62.5 + 729 = x

X = 791.5 = 790

19) Answer: e)

(5278 + 1546)/21 + (42/51) * (254/41) * 1025 = x – 122

6824/21 + (42/51) * (255/41) * 1025 = x – 144

325 + 5125 + 144 = x

X = 5594 = 5595

20) Answer: b)

(27/100)*800 + (1750/14)*64 = x – (3/7)* 2730

216 + 8000 = x – 1170

216 + 8000 + 1170 = x

X = 9386 = 9390
