Answers :

1) Answer: b)

2) Answer: b)

3) Answer: b)

4) Answer: d)

Circumference of Circle ABC= πd = π10 m

AB = BC = CA = 10 π / 3 m

5) Answer: b)

6) Answer: c)

Let their speeds be A m/s, C m/s and D m/s respectively for Arvind, Ritesh and Dipesh.

According to the question,

1248/ (A + C) = 78 or A + C = 16 — (i)

1248 / (A+D) = 96 or A + D = 13 — (ii)

Solving Eq (i) and (ii)

C – D = 3

Every second Ritesh gains 3 m over Dipesh. As they are moving in the same direction.

∴ Time taken by Ritesh to meet Dipesh.

= 1248/3 = 416 s

7) Answer: c)

P = (n11 – n) (92n – 1) = (n11 –n)(81n – 1)

(n11 – n)[(82 – 1)n  −1]

For every integer (81n – 1) will be even i. e, a multiple of 2 and [(82 – 1)n – 1] is divisible by 82 only when n is even.

8) Answer: c)

9) Answer: d)

Let number = abcde

= 1000 (ab) + cde

N = 1000P = Q = 9.P.Q

N = F (P, Q)

9PQ = 1000 + P + Q

If Q = 1000 then,

900 P < 1000 P + 100

P must be greater than 111

9 P.111= 999 P = 1000 P + Q

Check the options

9 × 112 × P = 1000P = 112

1008P = 1000P + 112

8P = 112   P = 14

P = 14, Q = 112 satisfy

9 PQ = 1000 P + Q

So, P + Q = 126

10) Answer: b)

11) Answer: b)

Ratio of efficiency of A:B:C = 100:120:180 = 5 : 6 : 9

Efficiency of A is 5=36, therefore 1=36×5,

so B+C(6+9=15), 15= 36 ×5/15=12 Days

12) Answer: a)

Suppose the average marks be x. Highest and least marks be p and q respectively,

Then, 51x = 50x × 0.99 + a

51x = 50 × 1.013 + b

50x × 0.99 + a = 50x × 1.013 + 6

a – b = 70[given]

70 = 50x [0.023]

x = 60

13) Answer: b)

14) Answer: d)

The usual procedure adopted would be to compute the total interest earned for one year at 12.5% interest, the interest earned with the prevailing rates of interest and determine the difference. A faster way would be to compute only the increase or decrease in the interest earned in every period over 12.5%.

15) Answer: d)

Suppose the cost price is Rs x and the selling price is Rs y.

If x is 12% less and y is 24% more than
