a) 60 %

b) 75 %

c) 50 %

d) 85 %

e) 105 %

Answers:

Directions (1-5):

1) Answer: a)

I) x = √(12875 – 3271)

X = √9604 = 98

II) y = ∛474552

Y = 78

X > y

2) Answer: e)

I) x2 – 6x – 72 = 0

(x – 12) (x + 6) = 0

X = 12, – 6

II) y2 + 3y – 88 = 0

(y + 11) (y – 8) = 0

Y = -11, 8

Can’t be determined

3) Answer: d)

I) 3x2 + 26x + 56 = 0

3x2 + 12x + 14x + 56 = 0

3x(x + 4) + 14(x + 4) = 0

(3x + 14) (x + 4) = 0

X = -14/3, -4 = -4.667, -4

II) 2y2 + 15y + 28 = 0

2y2 + 8y + 7y + 28 = 0

2y(y + 4) + 7 (y + 4) = 0

(2y + 7) (y + 4) = 0

Y = -7/2, -4 = -3.5, -4

X ≤ y

4) Answer: c)

4x – 5y = -12 –> (1)

3x + 4y = 53 –> (2)

By solving the equation (1) and (2), we get,

X = 7, y = 8

X < y

5) Answer: e)

I) x2 – 17x + 52 = 0

(x -14) (x – 3) = 0

X = 14, 3

II) y2 – 5y – 66 = 0

(y – 11) (y + 6) = 0

Y = 11, -6

Can’t be determined

Directions (6-10):

6) Answer: e)

Total number of tyres rejected by the company P

= > 3200000*(2/100) = 64000

Total number of tyres rejected by the company T

= > 4000000*(1.5/100) = 60000

Required % = [(64000 – 60000)/60000]*100 = 7 % more

7) Answer: a)

The average number of tyres manufactured by all the given companies together

= > (32 + 26 + 48 + 16 + 40)/5

= > 162/5 = 32.4 lakhs

8) Answer: c)

The total number of tyres sold by the company Q

= >2600000*(95/100)*(84/100) = 2074800

The total number of tyres sold by the company S

= > 1600000*(97/100)*(80/100) = 1241600

Required difference = 2074800 – 1241600 = 833200

9) Answer: d)

The total number of tyres rejected by the company Q

= > 26*(5/100) = 1.3 lakhs

The total number of tyres rejected by the company R

= > 48*(4/100) = 1.92 lakhs

Required ratio = 1.3: 1.92 = 130: 192 = 65: 96

10) Answer: b)

Total number of tyres sold by the company P

= > 3200000*(98/100)*(78/100) = 2446080

Total number of tyres sold by the company R

= > 4800000*(96/100)*(72/100) = 3317760

Required % = (2446080/3317760)*100 = 73.726 = 75 %
