Answers :

1) Answer: b)

2) Answer: c)

Let the quantity of refined oil initially be Q.

Then we have Q × ¾ × ¾ × ¾ × ¾ = 10

Q× ¾ × ¾ × ¾ × ¾ = 10

So, Q = 2560/81 liters

3) Answer:  d)

The only values that fit this situation are C 25%, B 30%, and A 45%.

These are the percentage of votes polled. (Note: these values can be got either through trial and error or through solving c + c + 5 + 1.5(c + 5) = 100%

Then, 20%is 18000 (the difference between A & C.)

Hence, 90000 people must have voted and 100000 people must have been on the voter’s list.

4) Answer:  a)

Let C.P. of whole stock = Rs. 100,

Then, marked price of whole stock = Rs.120.

M.P. of 1/2 stock = Rs 60, M.P. of 1/4 stock = Rs 30/

So, Total S.P. = Rs [60 + (80% of 30) + (60% of 30)]

Rs (60 + 24 + 18) = Rs 102

Hence, gain% = (102 – 100%) = 2%

= (102 – 100) % = 2%

5) Answer: d)

Let the SP of the article be Rs. x

Expenses= 15% of x =            Rs 0.15x

Profit = 10% of x = Rs 0.10x

CP = Rs 9 (given)

Therefore, 9 + 0.15x + 0.1x   x   12

So, % increase for marked price

= (12 – 9)/ 9 * 100 = 100/ 3 %

6) Answer: a)

7) Answer: a)

Let each boy gets x, so the women gets 2x and a man gets 3x.

Now, (3 × 3x) + (4 × 2x) + (6 × x) = 1104

= 23x = 1104, = x = 48

So, each boy gets Rs 48

8) Answer: b)

X men × 30 days = (x + 6 men) × (30 – 10) days

3X = 2X + 12

X = 12 men

9) Answer:  c)

Circumference of the wheel starting from Y

Let both the wheels make n revolution in one second.

Distance covered by both the wheels in 1 sec

= 22n + 44n = 66 n cm

= Distance covered by both the wheels in 10 sec

= 660n cm

Now, 660n = 1980, So, n = 3

Speed of the smaller wheel

= 22 n/cm/s = 66 cm/s

10) Answer: a)    

Let the repayment annually be X

Then:

8000 + 3 years interest on 8000

(On compound interest of 5%)

= X + 2 years interest on X + X +

1 year interest on X + X => X = 2937.67

11) Answer:  d)

Let the number of seats in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics be 4x, 5x and 6x.

New ratio of seats

= (4x + 75) : (5x + 75) : (6x + 75)

So, the given data is insufficient.
