Answers:
Directions (1-5):
1) Answer: b)
Series I,
3 * 9 – 9 = 18
18 * 8 – 8 = 136
136 * 7 – 7 = 945
945 * 6 – 6 = 5664
5664 * 5 – 5 = 28315
Series II,
9 is the 1st term.
9 * 9 – 9 = 72
72 * 8 – 8 = 568
568 * 7 – 7 = 3969
3969 is the 4th term
2) Answer: d)
Series I,
8 * 13 = 8
8 * 23 = 64
64 * 33 = 1728
1728 * 43 = 110592
Series II,
2 is the 1st term
2 * 13 = 2
2 * 23 = 16
16 * 33 = 432
432 is the 4th term
3) Answer: a)
12 + 32 = 44
44 + 64 = 108
108 + 128 = 236
236 + 256 = 492
492 + 512 = 1004
4) Answer: d)
855÷3 + 3 = 288
288÷3 + 3 = 99
99÷3 + 3 = 36
36÷3 + 3 = 15
15÷3 + 3 = 8
5) Answer: b)
Series I,
5 * 6 + 1 = 31
31 * 5 + 2 = 157
157 * 4 + 3 = 631
631 * 3 + 4 = 1897
1897 * 2 + 5 = 3799
Series II,
1 is the 1st term.
1 * 6 + 1 = 7
7 * 5 + 2 = 37
37 * 4 + 3 = 151
151 * 3 + 4 = 457
457 * 2 + 5 = 919
919 * 1 + 6 = 925
925 is the 7th term.
Directions (6-10):
6) Answer: b)
Table = 500 * 90/100 = 450
Amount paid = 92/100 * (((100 – x)/100 * 14000) + 450)
12000 = (92/100)(140(100 – x) + 450)
12000 = (92/100)(14000 – 140x + 450)
12000 = 92/100(14450 – 140x)
1200000 = 1329400 – 12880x
12880x = 129400
x = 10%
7) Answer: b)
Marked price of mobile = Rs.4500
Selling price of mobile = 4500 * 80/100 = Rs.3600
Cost price of mobile = 4500 * 100/120 = 3750
Cost price of laptop = Rs.10000
Marked price of laptop = Rs.10000 * 120/100 = 12000
Selling price of laptop = 12000 * 75/100 = 9000
Total cost price = 3750 + 10000 = 13750
Total selling price = 3600 + 9000 = 12600
Required loss percent = [(13750 – 12600)/13750] * 100≈8%
8) Answer: b)
Discount twice = 480 * 85/100 * 85/100 = Rs.336
CP he makes 20% profit = 336 * 100/120 = 280
SP of discount allows once = 480 * 85/100 = 408
Profit percentage = [(408 – 280)/280] * 100 = 41%
9) Answer: a)
Marked price of Book = 150x
Selling price of Book = 95/100 * 150x = 142.5x
Discount amount = 150x – 142.5x = 150
7.5x = 150
x = 20
Cost price of Book = 142.5x – 50 = 2800
MP of Book = 150 * 20 = 3000
SP of Book = 142.5 * 20 = 2850
Marked price percentage = ((3000 – 2800)/3000) * 100 = 20/3%
After interchange of marked up percentage and discount percentage,
MP of Book = 105/100 * 2800 = 2940
SP of Book = (100 – 20/3)/100 * 2940 = 2744
Difference = 2850 – 2744 = 106
10) Answer: a)
CP of mobile = 26000 * 100/130 = 20000
Marked price = 20000 * 100/80 = 25000
