Answers :

Directions (01-05):

Total students in a class is x

Students like only Tamil = 20%

Students like only English = 20%

Students like Tamil and Hindi but not English = 60% of 20

= 3/5 * 20 = 12%

Total students like only English and only Tamil = 20% + 20% = 40%

Students like English and Hindi but not Tamil = 25% of 40

= ¼ * 40 = 10%

Students like all the three languages = 5%

Remaining students = 100% – (20% + 20% + 12% + 10% + 5%)

= 100% – 67% = 33%

Students like only Hindi = 33% * 5/11 = 15%

Students like Tamil and English but not Hindi = 33% – 15% = 18%

Difference between the students like only Hindi and the students like Tamil and English but not Hindi = 18% – 15% = 3%

3% of total students = 36

Total students = 36/3 * 100 = 1200

1) Answer: C

Required percentage = 180/240 * 100

= ¾ * 100 = 75%

2) Answer: D

Required total = (20% + 20% + 15%) * 1200

= 55/100 * 1200

= 660

3) Answer: A

Required ratio = 144: 216

= 2: 3

4) Answer: B

Required total = (15% + 5% + 12% + 10%) * 1200

= 42/100 * 1200

= 504

5) Answer: C

Required total = (18% + 12% + 10% + 5%) of 1200

= 45/100 * 1200

= 540

Directions (6-10) :

6) Answer: E

21 + (1 + 2)² = 30

30 +3 + 0)² = 39

39 + (3 + 9)² = 183

183 + (1 + 8 + 3)² = 327

7) Answer: B

           17                    23                    37                    78                    183

                        6                      14                    41                    105

                                    8                      27                    64

The difference is + 2³, + 3³, + 4³,…..

8) Answer: A

71² – (3³ – 1) = 5015

73² – (4³ – 1) = 5266

75² – (5³ – 1) = 5501

77² – (6³ – 1) = 5714

79² – (7³ – 1) = 5899

(Or)

5015                5266                5501                5714                5899

             251                  235                  213                  185

                                            6                      6

9) Answer: D

1078 – (21 * 3) = 1015

1015 – (19 * 5) = 920

920 – (17 * 7) = 801

801 – (15 * 9) = 666

666 – (13 * 11) = 523

(Or)

1078                1015                920                  801                  666                  523
