Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: C

The total number of English monthly magazine readers in January and April together

= > 15000 + 19000 = 34000

The total number of Hindi monthly magazine readers in February and June together

= > 14000 + 22000 = 36000

Required difference = 36000 – 34000 = 2000

2) Answer: A

The total number of English monthly magazine readers in February and May together

= > 12000 + 18000 = 30000

The total number of Hindi monthly magazine readers in January and March together

= > 18000 + 17000 = 35000

Required ratio = 30000: 35000 = 6: 7

3) Answer: D

The total male English magazine readers in March

= > 16000 * (5 / 8) = 10000

The total female Hindi magazine readers in April

= > 15000 * (8/ 15) = 8000

Required difference = 10000 – 8000 = 2000

4) Answer: B

The average number of Hindi magazine readers in all the given months together

= > (18000 + 14000 + 17000 + 15000 + 19000 + 22000) / 6

= > 105000 / 6

= > 17500

Required % = (36000 / 34000) * 100 = 105.88 % = 106 %

Directions (6-10) :

6) Answer: A

Let the train length be x,

12 = (x + x) / [(40 + 50) * (5/18)]

12 = (2x * 18) / (90 * 5)

(12 * 90 * 5) / 36 = x

x = 150 m

7) Answer: A

The difference between the compound interest and the simple interest for 2 years is,

Diff = Sum * (r / 100)2

= > 48000 * (8 / 100)2

= > Rs. 307.20

8) Answer: D

The area of the square = 2401 sq cm

a2 = 2401

Side of the square = 49 cm

The radius of the cylinder = (4 / 7) * Side of the square

= > (4 / 7) * 49

= > 28 cm

The height of the cylinder = 36 cm

The volume of the cylinder = πr2h

= > (22 / 7) * 28 * 28 * 36

= > 88704 cm3

9) Answer: B

The share of P, Q and R,

= > [3x * 6 + (3x + 5000) * 6]: [4x * 6 + (4x – 10000) * 6]: [6x * 12] = 7: 6: 12

= > [18x + 18x + 30000]: [24x + 24x – 60000]: [72x] = 7: 6: 12

= > [36x + 30000]: [48x – 60000]: [72x] = 7: 6: 12

According to the question,

= > [36x + 30000] / 72x = (7 / 12)

= > 36x + 30000 = 42x

= > 6x = 30000

= > x = 5000

The initial investment of R = Rs. 30000

10) Answer: C

The sum of the present age of A and B together = The sum of the present age of B and C together

A + B = B + C

A = C

Let the present age of A and C be x,

x + x + (x – 8) + 28 = 20 * 4

3x + 20 = 80

3x = 60

x = 20

The present age of C = 20 years
