Answers:
1). Answer: d
Let the income of the companies X and Y in 2007 be Rs x.
Also Let us take the expenditure of the company X be E1 and that of the company Y be E2.
Now, 20= [(x- E1)/ E1]*100
x=120 E1/100………….. (1)
Also for company Y,
10 = [(x- E2)/ E2]*100
x= 110 E2/100………….. (2)
From (1) and (2), we have
120 E1/100=110 E2/100
E1/ E2= 110/120
=11/12
Hence E1: E2= 11:12
2). Answer: e
Given that the income of company Y in 2006= Rs 63 lakhs and profit percentage= 50%
Let Rs x be the expenditure of the company Y in 2006.
Then, 50= [(63-x)/x]*100
x = (63-x)*2
3x= 126
x=Rs 42 lakhs
Then in 2008, the expenditure of the company Y= Rs 21 lakhs
Let y be the income of the company Y in 2008.
Then, 30 = [(y-21)/21]*100
63= 10y-210
y= Rs 27.3 lakhs
3). Answer: a
Let x be the expenditure of the company X in 2010.
Given that, the profit of company X in 2010= Rs 67.5 lakhs
(i.e) 22.5/100*x=67.5
x= Rs 300 lakhs
Then the expenditure of the company X in 2011= Rs 200 crores
Now, profit of the company X in 2011= 200*10/100
= Rs 20 lakhs
4). Answer: e
Since we cannot find the income of a company Y for all the years separately, the total expenditure of the same company will not be determined.
5). Answer: e
Given that, Income2008/ Income2011= 5/7
Since the profit percentage of a company X in 2008 is 35% and that of in 2011 is 10%, we have
135% of Expenditure2008/110 % of Expenditure 2011= 5/7
(i.e) Expenditure2008/ Expenditure 2011= 5/7*110/135
= 110/189
6). Answer: e
Let the ages of Manu and Salim 15 years ago be 2x and 5x respectively.
Then, the present age of Manu= (2x+15)
And the present age of Salim= (5x+15)
Now, (2x+15+5)/ (5x+15+5) =3/5
(2x+20)/(5x+20)=3/5
5(2x+20) =3(5x+20)
x=8
Thus present age of Manu= (2x+15) =31
Present age of Salim= (5x+15) =55
Required ratio= 31:55
7). Answer: d
We know that surface area of the sphere= 4πr2.
= 4*22/7*35*35
=15400 m2
Then the cost of covering the spherical bowl= (15400*1.5) = Rs 23100
8). Answer: c
Let the price of LG TV in the last year be 4x and the price of Samsung TV in the last year be 3x.
Then, (4x-10000)/(3x*120/100)=5/6
6(4x-10000) =5(3x*6/5)
6x= 60000
x= 10000
Thus the price of LG TV in the last year =4x= Rs 40000
9). Answer: c
Let the rate of upstream be x km/hr and then rate of downstream be 3x km/hr.
Then, 2x= 28
x= 14 km/hr
(i.e) Rate of upstream= 14 km/hr
And rate of downstream= 42 km/hr
Thus, Rate of stream= ½(42-14)=1/2 *(28)= 14 km/hr
10). Answer: a
Given that profit= Cost price of 50 pens
Now, Total profit= Selling price of 400 pens- Cost price of 400 pens
Cost price of 50 pens = 3825 – Cost price of 400 pens
Cost price of 50 pens+ Cost price of 400 pens=3825
Cost price of 450 pen =3825
Thus, Cost price of 1 pen= 3825/450= Rs 8.5
11). Answer: e
Let x be age of Nancy, y be the age of Sofi and z be the age of Mithun.
According to the question, x+y+2z=89 ……………. (1)
3x+y+z= 98 …………… (2)
x+3y+3z=154 …………. (3)
After solving the equations, we have x= 35/2 = 17.5 years.
12). Answer: d
Let r be the rate of interest.
For question, we have simple interest for 1 year= 5124-4270=Rs 854
Then, 854= (4270*r)/100
r= 854*100/4270
r= 20%
13). Answer: d
Let the speed of Fathima be x km/hr
Then, 180/x-180/2x =6
(360-180)/2x =6
180=12x
x=15km/hr
14). Answer: a
Given that y= 120x/100 ….. (1)
Also xy=2430 … (2)
Substituting (1) in (2), we have
120x2/100=2430
x2= 2430*100/120
=2025
x=45
Then, y= 54
Thus, x+y =99
15). Answer: c
Let x be the length of the train
(x+270)/18=3x/27=speed
(x+270)/18= x/9
x+270=2x
x= 270
Thus speed of the train=3*270/27 = 30 m/s

Directions (21-25):
21). Answer: b
45x+24y-56=0 …………… (1)
10x+ 6y-13=0 …………….. (2)
Multiplying equation (2) by 4, then we have
40x+24y-52=0 ………….. (3)
Solving (1) and (3), we have x= 4/5 and y= 5/6
Hence x<y
22). Answer: b
a)21x= 517+470
21x= 987
x=47
b)y= (√(6181-6132))2
y= (√(49))2
y= 49
Hence x<y
23). Answer: e
a)x2= 527+351+643
x2=1521
x=39 and -39
b) y2+15y-324=0
y2+27y-12y-324=0
(y+27)(y – 12)=0
y= -27 and 12
Hence the relationship cannot be determined
24). Answer: c
a) 5x2+11x+6=0
5x2+5x+6x+6=0
(x+1)(5x+6)=0
x= -1 and -6/5
b) 6y2+11y+5=0
6y2+6y+5y+5=0
(6y+5)(y+1)=0
y= -1 and -5/6
Hence x≤y
25). Answer: e
a) x= √(192-37)
x= √(361-37)
x=√324
x= 18
b) y=(√484+√1024)/(√3)2
y= (√484+√1024)/(√3)2
y= (22+32)/3
y=54/3
y= 18
Hence x=y
Directions (26-30):
26). Answer: d
Number of students studying in the Secondary level in school D=10/100*42600
= 4260
Similarly, number of students studying in the Primary level in school D=24/100*32700

Required ratio= 8520:5232
= 355:218
30). Answer: a
Number of students studying in the Secondary level in school A=18/100*42600
= 7668
Number of students studying in the Secondary level in school B=14/100*42600
