Answers :Â
Directions (1-5) :
1) Answer: c)
Investment ratio = 3 : 6 : 5
B’s share = Rs. 24000
6’s = 24000
1’s = 4000
14’s = 4000*14 = 56000
70 % of total profit = 56000
(70/100)*total profit = 56000
Total profit = 56000*(100/70) = Rs. 80000
2) Answer: a)
Total work = (men (or) women)*days
Work equal, so,
(4 w + 5 m)*8 = (8 w + 5 m)*6
32 w + 40 m = 48 w + 30 m
16 w = 10 m
8 w = 5 m = > 1 w = 5/8 m
4 w + 5 m = 4*(5/8) m+ 5 m = 5/2 m + 5 m = 15/2 m
8 w + 5 m = 5 m + 5 m = 10 m
Men           days
15/2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 8
10Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ?
(15/2)*8 = 10*x
X= (15/2)*(8/10) = 6 days
3) Answer: b)
50000*(75/100) = Rs. 37500
50000*(80/100)*(90/100) = Rs. 36000
Required difference
= > 37500 – 36000
= > Rs. 1500
4) Answer: d)
Total probability n(S) = 15C3
Required probability n(E) = 6C2 and 9C1
P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 6C2 and 9C1 / 15C3
= > 27/91
5) Answer: a)
(3/7) of a number = (5/8) of another number
(3/7)*x = (5/8)*y
(x/y) = (5/8)*(7/3) = 35/24
X : y = 35 : 24
11’s = 22
1’s = 2
The numbers are = 35*2 and 24*2 = 70 and 48
Directions (6-10) :
6) Answer: b)
The average amount allocated for Agriculture, Railway and Health sector together
= > [(15 + 24 + 18)/100]*90000*(1/3)
= > (57/100)*30000 = 17100 crore
7) Answer: d)
The total amount allocated for MSME sector
= > 90000*(12/100)
The total amount allocated for Finance sector
= > 90000*(20/100)
Required difference = 90000*[(20 – 12)/100] = 90000*(8/100) = 7200 Crore
8) Answer: a)
The total amount allocated for Agriculture and Infrastructure & transport together
= > 90000*(26/100)
The total amount allocated for Health and Finance sector together
= > 90000*(38/100)
Required ratio = [90000*(26/100)] : [90000*(38/100)] = 26 : 38 = 13 : 19
9) Answer: c)
Total amount allocated for MSME
= > 90000*(12/100) = 10800 Crore
Total amount allocated for Health sector
= > 90000*(18/100) = 16200 Crore
Required % = [(16200 – 10800)/16200]*100 = 33.33 % less
10) Answer: b)
The ratio between the total amount allocated to different categories namely, agriculture marketing infrastructure, Food processing, Fisheries and Aquaculture and other sources related to agriculture
= >8 : 11 : 5 : 3
The difference between the total amount allocated to Food processing to that of Fisheries and Aquaculture
= > 90000*(15/100)*(6/27)
= > 3000 Crore
