Answers :
Directions (1 – 5):
Number of laptops sold in company B = 240
Number of desktops sold in company B = 240 * (100/120) = 200
Number of laptops sold in company C = 200 – 28 = 172
Total number of items sold in company B = 240 + 200 = 440
Total number of items sold in company A = 440 * 50/100 = 220
Number of desktops sold in company A = ½ * 240 = 120
Number of laptops sold in company A = 220 – 120 = 100
Number of desktops sold in company C = 100 * (27/25) = 108
1) Answer: d)
Required percentage = (200 – 100)/200 * 100
= 100/200 * 100 = 50% less
2) Answer: c)
Required ratio = (120 + 240 + 108): 280
= 468: 280
= 117: 70
3) Answer: b)
Required ratio = 280 – 220 = 60
4) Answer: a)
Number of desktops sold in company D = 120 * (120/100) = 144
Number of laptops sold in company D = 144 * (3/2) = 216
Required total = 144 + 216 = 360
5) Answer: e)
Required number of laptops = 240 * 80/100 = 192
Directions (6-10) :
6) Answer: a)
2 + 112 = 123
123 + 122 = 267 (not 269)
267 + 132 = 436
436 + 142 = 632
7) Answer: b)
3 + (5 * 6) = 33
33 + (6 * 7) = 75
75 + (7 * 8) = 131 (not 132)
131 + (8 * 9) = 203
8) Answer: c)
183 – 3 = 5829 (not 5832)
193 – 5 = 6854
203 – 7 = 7993
213 – 9 = 9252
223 – 11 = 10637
9) Answer: d)
7993 + 172 = 8282 (not 8202)
8282 – 152 = 8057
8057 + 132 = 8226
8226 – 112 = 8105
10) Answer: e)
(20 * 2) + 2 = 42
(42 * 3) + 3 = 129 (not 130)
(129 * 4) + 4 = 520
(520 * 5) + 5 = 2605
