Answers :

1) Answer: b)

We can solve this problem by checking the options:

Simple interest for Rs.5000 would be 30% of 5000 = Rs.1500

Compound interest for Rs.5000 = 500 + 550 + 605 = Rs.1655

Required difference = Rs. (1655 – 1500) = Rs.155.

2) Answer :a)

Let the maximum marks in each of the three subjects be 100.

Therefore, the candidate scored an aggregate of 60% of 3 × 100 = 60% of 300 marks. = 180 marks

Let the marks scored in the three subjects be 4 x, 5x and 6x.

Then, 4x + 5x + 6x = 180; or 15x = 180; or, x = 12

Therefore, marks scored by the candidate in the three subjects are 4 × 12, 5 × 12 and 6 × 12 = 48, 60 and 72.

Hence, the candidate has scored more than 60% in one subject.

3) Answer :d)

Let the total work be 240 units (LCM of 4, 6, 12, 24).

Efficiencies per day of:

Man = 240/4 = 60 units

Woman = 240/6 = 40 units

Boy = 240/12 = 20 units

And girl = 240/24 = 10 units

In one day, a man, a woman and a boy can do 120 units. The remaining 120 units can be done by 12 girls in that same day.

4) Answer :b)

Let y be the speed of sound and x the speed of the man.

Then the relative speed of sound = y – x

Or, y – x = 30/33 of y

Or, 33y – 33x = 30y

Or, y/x = 11/1

Hence, y: x = 11: 1.

5) Answer: d)

Let the place is d km away from the original position of A. According to the question,

Now by putting the options in the above equation or by solving the above equation, we get d = 42 km.

6) Answer: d)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7) Answer: a)

8) Answer: c) 

9) Answer: b)

a b c = 4 and a, b, c are in AP.

Then, value of b will be minimum when all three are equal.

∴ b³ = 4

10) Answer: a)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11) Answer: c)

Let P be the required location of the pole.

Let the distance of the pole from the gate B be x m i.e., BP = x meter.

Now the difference of the distance of the pole from the two gates

= AP – BP = 7 m.

∴ AP = (x+ 7) m

Since ∴ P is an angle in semi-circle;

∴ ∠ P = 90º and AB = 13 m (diameter of circle)

AB² = AP² + BP² [∴ in right-angled ∆ABP]

–>    (13)² = (x + 7)² + x²

–>    169 = x² + 14x + 49 + x²

–>     2x² + 14x + 49 – 169 = 0

–>     2x² + 14x – 120 = 0

–>     x² + 7x – 60 = 0

–>   x² + 12x – 5x – 60 = 0

–>   x (x +12) – 5(x +12) = 0

–>    (x + 12) (x – 5) = 0

x = 5 or -12 (which is not possible)

∴ Required distance = 5 m

12) Answer: c)

13) Answer: d)

∆ADC is right-angled triangle with A = 90º/: ∆ ADC , ∠A = 90º

∴ AC² + AD² = CD²

In DABC/ DABC according to Apollonius Theorem

= 2 AD² + 2 BD² = AB² + AC²

= 2(CD² – AC²) + 2 BD² = AB² + AC²

BD = CD

∴ BD² = CD² =

14) Answer: d)

As all of them have the same base so they have the same radius.

Suppose their radius is r and height is h.

∴ Curved surface area of hemisphere = 2pr² and curved surface area of the cone

15) Answer :d)
