ANSWERS With Solution
1. (2)
Total students are 40 × 15 = 600
So, 18 x 16 + (12 + 14) = 456
Left student is 10 and their average is =600-456= 144÷ 10=14.4
2. (1)
The interest in 2 years is 594.5 which is 10.25% of 5800. Hence the rate of interest is 5% p.a.
3. (2)
Upstream speed = 5 km/hr
Downstream speed = 15 km/hr
Speed of boat in still water = (5 + 15)/2 = 10 km/hr
Required time = 90/10 = 9 hrs
4. (5)
Let the rate of interest is=x
(X * 5000 * 2)/100 + (3000 * 4 * x)/100 = 2200
x = 10%
5. (4)
Let Car A takes t hrs to reach the place
Distance is same,
35 t = 55(t – 7/2)
T = 77/8
Distance = 35 * 77/8 = 336.87 km
6. (3)
Let the number be X and Y
Then 6y – x = 71 and 7x + y = 62
Solving the equation
X = 7, Y = 13
7. (2) C.I. = 85000 × (19.1016/100)
= Rs 16236.36 Approx.
8. (3) Difference of time = 5000/60 − 5000/(60 * 1.15)
= 5000/60 − 5000/69
= 83.33 – 72.46
= 10 min (Approx.)
9. (3)
3*B’s daily work= (A+C)’s daily work
4*B’s daily work = (A+B+C)’s daily work = 1/20
B’s daily work = 1/80
2*C’s daily work = (A+B)’s daily work
3*C’s daily work = (A+B+C)’s daily work = 1/20
C’s daily work= 1/60
A’s daily work= 1/20 - (1/80 + 1/60) = 1/48
A can finish the work in 48 days.
10. (4)
Let the side of park be=’x’
Area of path= 2{(x + 10)5 + 5x}
1700=2(10x+50)
x = (850 - 50)/10 = 80m
Area =(80)^2=6400 sq.m
11. (4)
Total letters are ‘8’ and No of vowels = 4
So total no of ways=5! * 4! = 2880
12. (3) Let the distance be x km
Time taken by car = x/35 and time taken on cycle = x/10
x/10 + x/35 = 18
13. (4) ,Let 150 men complete the work in x days , work done by 150 men in 20 days +work done by 230 men in 30 days=1
20/x + (230 * 30)/150x = 1
x = 66 days
So it is 66-50 = 16 days behind the schedule
14. (4)
Let the original price to be Rs 100.
So he bought it at 10% discount ie Rs 90 and sells it at 35% more than the original rate ie Rs 135.
Actual profit is 135-90=Rs 45
So % profit = 45/90 * 100 = 50%
15.(1)
By the method of allegation:
Or, (15 - x)/(x - 10) = 2/5
Or, 75- 5x=2x-20
Or, 7x=95
Or, x=13.57%
