Answers:
Directions (Q. 1 – 5):
1) Answer: c)
Quantity I:
The area of rectangular garden = 2080 Sq m
Length = (130/100)*breadth
l/b = 13/10 = > l : b = 13 : 10
13x*10x = 2080
130x2 = 2080
X2 = (2080/130) = 16
X = 4
Length = 52 m, Breadth = 40 m
Perimeter of the garden = 2*(l + b) = 2*(52 + 40) =2*92 = 184 m
Quantity II:
The area of a square park = 2304 Sq m
Area (a2) = 2304
Side (a) = 48
Perimeter of the park = 4a = 4*48 = 192 m
Quantity II > Quantity I
2) Answer: a)
Quantity I:
Selling price of the article = 600*(85/100) = Rs. 510
Cost price of the article
= > CP*(125/100) = 510
= > CP = 510*(100/125)
= > CP = Rs. 408
Quantity II:
Selling price of the book = 550*(84/100) = Rs. 462
Cost price of the book = 462*(100/120) = Rs. 385
Quantity I > Quantity II
3) Answer: a)
Quantity I:
Speed = Distance/Time
= > 240/8
= > 30 m/sec
The speed of the train = 30 m/sec
Quantity II:
Distance = Length of train + Platform length = 200 + 160 = 360 m
Speed = 360/24 = 15 m/sec
Quantity I > Quantity II
4) Answer: a)
Total no of balls = 4 + 7 + 5 = 16 balls
Quantity I:
n(S) = 16C3 = (16*15*14)/(1*2*3)
The probability of getting at least one yellow ball = 1- P (None is yellow ball)
P (None is yellow ball)
n(E) = 9C3 = (9*8*7)/(1*2*3)
P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 9C3 /16C3
= > [(9*8*7)/(1*2*3)] / [(16*15*14)/(1*2*3)]
= > 3/20
Required probability = 1 – (3/20) = 17/20
Quantity II:
n(S) = 16C2 = (16*15)/(1*2)
n(E) = Probability that both the balls are either pink or black
n(E) = 4C2 or 5C2
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
= > [4C2 or 5C2] / 16C2
= > [6 + 10] / [(16*15)/(1*2)]
= > (16*2)/(16*15) = 2/15
Quantity I > Quantity II
5) Answer: e)
Quantity I:
According to the question,
(5400*6)/(7200*x) = (3/8)
32400/7200x = 3/8
32400*8 = 7200x*3
X = (32400*8)/(7200*3)
X = 12 months
Quantity II:
According to the question,
(7*10)/(10x) = (7/12)
X = 12 months
Quantity I = Quantity II
Directions (Q. 6 – 10):
6) Answer: c)
The total number of male television viewers of Star news
= > 75000*(12/100)*(8/15) = 4800
The total number of female television viewers of Star Vijay
= > 75000*(21/100)*(8/15) = 8400
Required difference = 8400 – 4800 = 3600
7) Answer: a)
The total number of television viewers of Polimer TV
= > 75000*(15/100) = 11250
The total number of female television viewers of Colors TV
= > 75000*(20/100)*(2/3) = 10000
Required ratio = 11250 : 10000 = 9 : 8
8) Answer: d)
Total number of television viewers of Times Now
= > 75000*(14/100) = 10500
Total number of male television viewers of ZEE TV
= > 75000*(18/100)*(4/9) = 6000
Required % = (10500/6000)*100 = 175 %
9) Answer: b)
The total number of male television viewers of Polimer TV, Star Vijay and Colors TV together
= > 75000*(15/100)*(5/9) + 75000*(21/100)*(7/15) + 75000*(20/100)*(1/3)
= > 6250 + 7350 + 5000 = 18600
Required average = 18600/3 = 6200
10) Answer: c)
Total number of female television viewers of Star news
= > 75000*(12/100)*(7/15) = 4200
Total number of male television viewers of ZEE TV
= > 75000*(18/100)*(4/9) = 6000
Required % = [(6000 – 4200)/6000]*100 = 30 % less
Directions (Q. 11 – 15):
11) Answer: d)
127 + 158 + (66/100)*1800 – 579 = x
X = 127 + 158 + 1188 – 579
X = 894
12) Answer: a)
(4/5)*(95/29)*4350 = (36/100)*2700 + (4/7)*x
11400 – 972 = (4x/7)
10428*(7/4) = x
X = 18249
13) Answer: c)
 (52*52*7)/14 + 452 = 5x – (35/100)*3100
1352 + 2025 = 5x – 1085
1352 + 2025 + 1085 = 5x
X = 4462/5
X = 892.4
14) Answer: b)
3224 ÷ [(31/100)*1300] = 49*(65/7)*(x/130)
3224/403 = (7x/2)
8*(2/7) = x
X = 16/7
15) Answer: d)
 (13 × 11 + 48 × 7 + 8 × 9 + 47 × 2) ÷ (122 – √1156 + 19) = x
X = (143 + 336 + 72 + 94) / (144 – 34 + 19)
X = 645/129 = 5

21) Answer: d)
Mahesh one day work = 1/24
6 days work = 6/24 = 1/4
Remaining work = 1 – (1/4) = 3/4
Naveen alone finishes the remaining work in 12 days.
= > (3/4) * Naveen’s whole work = 12
= > Naveen’s whole work = 16 days
Mahesh and Naveen’s one day work,
= > (1/24) + (1/16)
= > 5/48
Both Mahesh and Naveen together complete the work in,
= > 48/5 days = 9 3/5 days
22) Answer: d)

23) Answer: a)
S.I = PNR/100
6800 = (17000*4*R)/100
R = (6800*100)/(17000*4) = 10 %
C.I = P*(1 + (R/100))n – 1)
= > 17000*(1 + (10/100))4 – 1)
= > 17000*(110/100)4 – 1)

24) Answer: b)
The ratio between the angles of the quadrilateral = 3 : 4 : 5 : 6
3x + 4x + 5x + 6x = 360
=> 18x = 360
=> x = 20
Smallest angle of triangle = (2/3)*60 = 40
Largest angle of the triangle = 2*40 = 80
Second largest angle of the triangle = 180 – 40 – 80 = 60
Required sum = 60 + 120 = 180°
25) Answer: d)
The original fraction is,
= > [x*(250/100)]/[y*(450/100)] = (25/51)

26) Answer: a)
The speed of downstream= D/T = 15/(45/60) = 20 km/hr
The speed of the current = ¼ of the boat in still water
Speed of boat : Speed of Current = 4 : 1 = (4x: x)
Speed of downstream = Speed of boat + Speed of Current = 5x
20 = 5x
X= 4
Speed of boat = 16 km/hr, Speed of Current = 4 km/hr
Speed of upstream= Speed of boat – Speed of Current = 3x
Speed of upstream = 12 km/hr
Time = 66 min= (66/60) hr
Distance= S*T = 12*(66/60) = 13.2 km
27) Answer: a)
CP1 + CP2 = 665
=> 3 : 4
7’s =665 = > 1’s = 95
CP1 = 95*3 = 285
CP2 = 95*4 = 380
SP1 = 285*(120/100) = Rs. 342
SP2 = 380*(85/100) = Rs. 323
28) Answer: d)
Total probability = 15C3
Required probability = 1- none is oppo mobile
The probability of choosing none is oppo mobile,
= > 10C3/15C3 = (10*9*8)/(15*14*13)
= > 24/91
Probability of choosing at least one is oppo mobile,
= > 1 – (24/91) = 67/91
29) Answer: c)
Savings = 35 %
Expenditure = 65 %
According to the question,
= > (80/100)*expenditure = 10400
Expenditure = 13000
(65/100)*monthly salary = 13000
Monthly salary = 13000*(100/65) = Rs. 20000
Savings = 35 % of monthly salary = (35/100)*20000
= > Rs. 7000
30) Answer: d)
Let the present age of Revathi be x years,
Then, Priya’s age= (x+7) years
