Answers With Explanation:-

1.       (C):
Let x be the speed of walked
Let y be the speed of ride
Let D be the distance
Then D/x + D/y = 23/4 hr -------1
D/y + D/y = 23/4 – 2 hr
D/y = 15/8 --------2
Substitute 2 in 1
D/x + 15/8 = 23/4 = D/x = 23/4 -15/8 =46-15/8 =31/8
Time taken for walk one way is 31/8 hr
Time taken to walk to and fro is 2 x 31/8 = 31/4 hr =7 hr 45 min

2.       (B):
180 / 20 = 9 m/s
Let his initial speed = x
After increasing 50% his speed will 1.5 x = 9/1.5 = 6 m/s
So, time taken = 180/6 = 30 sec

3.       (A):
Quadrilateral largest angle = (360 x 7) / 18 = 140 degrees   
Largest angle of triangle = (140 x 5) / 7 – 20 = 80 degrees
Smallest angle = (80 x 2) / 5 = 32 degrees
Second largest angle = 180 - (80 + 32)
= 180 – 112 = 68 degrees

4.       (D):
Since the average is 8 more than the actual, the second no will increase by 72 (9 x 8) by interchanging the digits.
If ab is the second no,
then 10a + b + 72 = 10b+ a
i.e. 9 (b - a) = 72
b - a = 8.
The possible number ab is 19. Since the second no is 19.
The first no is  18
So X = 18

5.       (D)

6.       (A):
Let the C.P of each article be Rs 100
Then C.P of 16 articles=Rs (100 * 16) = Rs 1600
S.P of 15 articles =1600*(135/100) = Rs 2160
S.P of each article =2160/15=Rs 144
If S.P is Rs 96, marked price =Rs 100
If S.P is Rs 144, marked price =(100/96)*144=Rs 15000
Therefore marked price=50% above C.P

7.       (D):
Ratio of profit be
2 x 6 : 3 x 4 : 4 x 3 = 12 : 12: 12 = 1 : 1 : 1

8.       (A):
Quantity of milk in 729 litres of mixture
= (7 x 729) / 9 = 567 litres
Quantity of water
= (729-567) litres = 162 litre.
Let x litres of water is mixed to get the required ratio of 7 : 3
= 567 / (162 + x)= 7 / 3
= 7x + 1134 = 1701
= 7x = 1701 – 1134 = 567
= x = 567 / 7 = 81 litres

9.       (B):
Let Sum =P
Original rate = R
T = 3 years
If 2% is more than the original rate, it would have fetched 360 more i.e., R+2
(P x (R+2) x 3/10 0) - (P x R x 3) /100 = 360 = 3PR+ 6P-3PR = 36000 = 6P = 36000 = P = 6000

10.   (C):
Work done by A in 10 days=10/80=1/8
Remaining work=(1-(1/8))=7/8
Now, work will be done by B in 42 days.
Whole work will be done by B in (42*8/7)=48 days
Therefore, A's one day's work=1/80
B’s one day's work=1/48
(A+B)'s one day's work=1/80+1/48=8/240=1/30
Hence, both will finish the work in 30 days.
