Answers :
1). Answer: d)
Explanation:
The investment of Kathir, Praveen and Suresh
= > (4/5): (2/3): (5/7)
= > 84: 70: 75
The share of Kathir, Praveen and Suresh
= > [84*12]: [70*6 + 70*(130/100)*6]: [75*12]
= > 1008: 966: 900
= > 168: 161: 150
479’s = 71850
1’s = 150
The share of Praveen = 161’s = Rs. 24150
2). Answer: a)
Explanation:
Distance covered by the first train= 42*15 = 630 m
Distance covered by the second train = 630 – 90 = 540 m
Time taken by the second train to cross the bridge
= > 540/(72*5/18)
= > (540*18)/(72*5)
= > 27 seconds
3). Answer: d)
Explanation:
Amount = P*(1 + r/100)n
29775.4 = 25000*(1 + (6/100))n
(29775.4/25000) = (106/100)n
(297754/250000) = (53/50)n
(148877/125000) = (53/50)n
(53/50)3 = (53/50)n
n = 3 years
4). Answer: b)
Explanation:
The ratio of milk to water in a solution = 5: 2 (5x, 2x)
According to the question,
5x/(2x + 8) = (3/2)
10x = 6x + 24
4x = 24
X = 6
Initially, Milk = 5x = 30 liters
5). Answer: c)
Explanation:
Speed of upstream = (36*60)/48 = 45 km/hr
Speed of current: Speed of still water = 4: 9
Speed of upstream = Speed of still water – speed of Current
45 = 5x => x = 9
Speed of current = 36 km/hr
Speed of still water = 81 km/hr
Speed of downstream= Speed of still water + speed of Current
= > 81 + 36 = 117 km/hr
Speed = 117 km/hr, Time = 80 minutes
Distance = 117*(80/60) = 156 km
Direction (6-10) :
6). Answer: b)
Explanation:
The total number of candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIT in the year 2012 and 2014 together
= > 15000 + 11000 = 26000
The total number of candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIM in the year 2013 and 2015 together
= > 14000 + 10000 = 24000
Required difference = 26000 – 24000 = 2000
7). Answer: d)
Explanation:
The ratio between the total number of male to that of female candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIT in the year 2013
= 5: 4
The ratio between the total number of male to that of female candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIT in the year 2015
= 3: 2
The total number of male candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIT in the year 2013 and 2015
= > 18000*(5/9) + 13000*(3/5)
= > 10000 + 7800 = 17800
The total number of female candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIT in the year 2013 and 2015
= > 18000*(4/9) + 13000*(2/5)
= > 8000 + 5200 = 13200
Required ratio = 17800: 13200 = 89: 66
8). Answer: a)
Explanation:
The total number of candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIM in all the given years together
= > 12 + 14 + 15 + 10 + 16 = 67 thousand = 67000
Required average = 67000/5 = 13400
9). Answer: c)
Explanation:
The total number of candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIT in the year 2013 and 2016 together
= > 18000 + 20000 = 38000
The total number of candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of IIM in the year 2012 and 2015 together
= > 12000 + 10000 = 22000
Required % = (38000/22000)*100 = 173 %
10). Answer: b)
Explanation:
The total number of candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of both IIT and IIM in the year 2014
= > 15000 + 11000 = 26000
The total number of candidates qualified in the common written test for the admission of both IIT and IIM in the year 2016
= > 20000 + 16000 = 36000
Required % = [(36000 – 26000)/36000]*100 = 28 % less
