Number of products produced by company B= 700*130/100= 910
Company A:
Number of keyboards produced by company A= 700*20/100= 140
Number of monitors produced by company A= 700/4= 175
Number of mouse produced by company A= 23*700/100= 161
Number of cameras produced by company A= 700- (140+175+161) = 224
Company B:
Monitors= 480-175= 305
Mouse= 40*910/100= 364
Camera= 10*910/100= 91
Keyboard= 910-(305+364+91) = 150
Defective mouse produced by both the companies= 20*525/100= 105
Defective keyboard produced by company A= 140*40/100= 56
16). Answer b
Total cost of keyboard produced by company A= 450*140= Rs. 63000
Cost price of 56 keyboard= 56*450= Rs 25200
Loss incurred by selling defective keyboard= (450*10/100)*56= Rs 45*56= Rs. 2520
Cost price of remaining keyboard= 63000-25200= Rs. 37800
Selling price of remaining keyboard should be= 37800 + 2520= Rs. 40320
17). Answer c
Keyboard produced by company A= 140
Monitor produced by company B= 305
Difference in production= 305-140= 165
Required percentage= (165/305)*100 = 54%
18). Answer e
Revenue generated by company A by selling mouse
= 240*161*120/100
=Rs. 46368
Revenue generated by company B by selling mouse
= 300*364*120/100
= Rs. 131040
Required difference= 131040 – 46368= Rs. 84672
19). Answer b
Total defective mouse produced= 105
Defective mouse produced by company B= 105*(80/100) = 84
20). Answer a
Let the cost of keyboard produced by company B be x
Markup price= x*120/100 = 6x/5
Selling price= 6x/5 * 90/100 = 27x/25
Profit= 27x/25 – x = 2x/25
So,
2x/25= 2400
x= 2400*25/2= Rs. 30000
Total keyboard produced by company B = 150
Cost price of each keyboard = 30000/150= Rs. 200
Directions (Q. 21-25):
21). Answer c
Quantity I:
Total age of 28 students = 28*15 = 420
Total age of 28 students + 1 teacher = 29*16 = 464
The age of the teacher = 464 – 420 = 44 years
(Or)
Shortcut:
N Average
28 15
29 16
The age of the teacher = (28 + 16) or (29 + 15) = 44 years
Quantity II:
5 years ago, the ratio of age of A and B = 4: 1(4x, x)
According to the question,
4x – x = 30
3x = 30
X = 10
The present age of A = 4x + 5 = 45 years
Quantity II > Quantity I
22). Answer a
Quantity I:
The share of A and B
= > 24000: 30000
= > 4: 5
9’s = 72000
1’s = 8000
The share of A = 4’s = Rs. 32000
Quantity II:
Let the initial investment of Q be x,
According to the question,
(12000/x) = (3/4)
X = Rs. 16000
Quantity I > Quantity II
23). Answer c
Quantity I:
The ratio of speed of two trains = 3: 5 (3x, 5x)
The speed of second train = 350/7 = 50 km/hr
5x = 50
X = 10
The speed of first train = 3x = 30 km/hr
Quantity II:
The speed of the train = 150/3 = 50 m/s = 50*(18/5) = 180 km/hr
Quantity II > Quantity I
24). Answer c
Quantity I:
The difference between the simple interest and compound interest for 2 years,
Diff = Sum*(r/100)2
121.50 = Sum*(9/100)2
(121.50*100*100)/81 = Sum
Sum = Rs. 15000
Quantity II:
S.I = Pnr/100
5400 = (P*5*6)/100
(5400*100)/30 = P
Principle = Rs. 18000
Quantity II > Quantity I
25). Answer a
Quantity I:
Let the distance be x,
According to the question,
T = D/S
(x/2)/15 + (x/2)/18 = 11
x/30 + x/36 = 11
66x/(30*36) = 11
X = 180 km
The distance covered by him is 180 km
Quantity II:
Let the train length be x,
14.4 = (x + x)/[(40 + 35)*(5/18)]
14.4 = (2x*18)/(75*5)
(14.4*75*5)/36 = x
X = 150 m
Quantity I > Quantity II
26). Answer: d
Total work= 24*12 = 288 work
6 days work= 24*6 = 144 work

The ratio of the 50p, 25p, 10p coins be 6x, 4x and 3x
6x*(50/100) + 4x*(25/100) + 3x*(10/100) = 258
6x/2 + 4x/4 + 3x/10 = 258
(60x + 20x + 6x) /20 = 258
x = 60
Hence the numbers of coins are,
50p = 6 × 60 = 360
25p = 4 × 60 = 240
10p = 3 × 60 = 180
The answer is, (360, 240, 180)

7 years ago, the ratio of age of P and Q = 4 : 5(4x, 5x)
The present age of P = The age of Q, 7 years ago
4x + 7 = 5x
5x – 4x = 7
X = 7
The present age of P and Q = 4x + 7, 5x + 7 = 35, 42
Required sum = 35 + 42 + 10 = 87 years

Y5/2 = 75/2
Y=7
x>y
35). Answer: a
I. 6x2 -49x +99 =0
6x2 -27x-22x +99 =0
3x(2x-9)-11(2x-9) =0
(3x-11)(2x-9) =0
X= 11/3, 9/2
II. 5y2 +17y+ 14=0
5y2 +10y+7y+ 14=0
5y(y+2)+7 (y+2) =0
(5y+7)(y+2) =0
Y= -7/5, -2
X>y
