Answers :

1) Answer: a)

LCM of 16 and 20 = 80 units

(A + B)’s one day work = 5 units

(B + C)’s one day work = 4 units

A’s 6 days work + B’s 9 days work + C’s 22 days work = 80

(A + B)’s 6 days work + (B + C)’s 3 days work + C’s 19 days work = 80

(5*6) + (4*3) + C’s 19 days work = 80

C’s 19 days work = 80 – 30 – 12 = 38

C’s one day work = 38/19 = 2 units

C alone can complete the work in, (80/2) = 40 days

2) Answer: d)

According to the question,

(15 % – 10 %) of salary = 4000

5 % of salary = 4000

Total salary = 4000*(100/5) = Rs. 80000 = 100 %

Savings % = (20000/80000)*100 = 25 %

Total salary (100 %) = Expense (75 %) + Savings (25 %)

75 % = (15 % + 20 % + 10 % + X %)

X % = 75 % – 45 % = 30 %

3) Answer: d)

3 years ago, Rohit – Agila = 12

9 years hence, The ratio of Rohit and Agila = 7 : 4 (7x, 4x)

Present age of Rohit and Agila = 7x – 9, 4x – 9

According to the question,

7x – 4x = 12

3x = 12

X = 4

Present age of Rohit = 7x – 9 = 19

Present age of Rohit’s mother = 19 + 25 = 44 years

4) Answer: d)

I) x² + 5^3/2 = (5^1/2 + 5) x

x² – (√5 + 5) x + 5√5 = 0

x² – √5x – 5x + 5√5 = 0

x (x – √5) – 5 (x – √5) = 0

(x – 5) (x – √5) = 0

x = 5, √5

II) y¹³ – (125^9/2 / √y) = 0

y¹³ * y^1/2 = 125^9/2

y^{(13 + ½)} = (5³)^9/2

y^27/2 = 5^27/2

y = 5

x ≤ y

5) Answer: e)

I) 9x² + 198x – 432 = 0

9x² + 216x – 18x – 432 = 0

9x (x + 24) – 18 (x + 24) = 0

(9x – 18) (x + 24) = 0

x = 2, -24

II) 7y² + 14y – 156 = 0

7y² + 42y – 26y – 156 = 0

7y (y + 6) – 26 (y + 6) = 0

(7y – 26) (y + 6) = 0

y = 26/7, -6 = 3.71, -6

Can’t be determined

6) Answer: d)

The selling price of item R = 18000*(88/100) = Rs. 15840

The cost price of item R = 15840*(100/120) = Rs. 13200

The cost price of item P and R together

= > 20000 + 13200 = Rs. 33200

The marked price of item Q and R together

= > 15000 + 18000 = Rs. 33000

Required difference = 33200 – 33000 = Rs. 200

7) Answer: a)

The average selling price of all the given items together

= > [(20000 + 3000) + 13500 + (18000*(88/100)) + (22800*(125/100)]/4

= > [23000 + 13500 + 15840 + 28500]/4

= > 80840/4 = Rs. 20210

8) Answer: c)

The selling price of item P = 20000 + 3000 = Rs. 23000

The marked price of item P = Rs. 25000

The discount % given by the shopkeeper for item P

= > [(25000 – 23000)/25000]*100 = 8 %

The selling price of item R = 22800*(125/100) = Rs. 28500

The marked price of item R = Rs. 30000

The discount % given by the shopkeeper for item R

= > [(30000 – 28500)/30000]*100 = 5 %

Required ratio = 8 : 5

9) Answer: b)

The cost price of item Q = 13500*(100/125) = Rs. 10800

The profit of item Q = 13500 – 10800 = Rs. 2700

The total profit earned by the item P and Q together

= > 3000 + 2700 = Rs. 5700

The total profit earned by the item R and S together

= > 2640 + (22800*(25/100))

= > 2640 + 5700 = Rs. 8340

Required ratio = 5700 : 8340 = 95 : 139

10) Answer: d)

The marked price of item P and S together

= > 23000*(100/92) + 22800*(125/100)*(100/95)

= > 25000 + 30000 = Rs. 55000

The selling price of item Q and R together

= > 13500 + (13200 + 2640) = Rs. 29340

Required % = (55000/29340)*100 = 187.45 % = 190 %
