Answers :
Directions (11-15) :
Total number of balls = 330
Total number of balls in A = Total number of balls in B
Total number of balls in C = 5a
Number of balls in A = 5a * 60/100 = 3a
5a + 3a + 3a = 330
a = 30
Total number of balls in A = 3 * 30 = 90
Total number of balls in B = 90
Total number of balls in C = 5 * 30 = 150
Ratio of the number of red to blue balls in A = 100:150 = 2:3
Number of blue balls in A = 3/5 * 90 = 54
Number of red balls in A = 2/5 * 90 = 36
Total number of red balls = x
Number of red balls in B = 25/100 * x = x/4
Number of red balls in C = x/4 + 24
x/4 + x/4 + 24 + 36 = x
60 = x – x/2
60 = x/2
x = 120
Number of red balls in B = 120/4 = 30
Number of red balls in C = 30 + 24 = 54
Total number of blue balls = 330 – 120 = 210
Number of blue balls in C = y
Number of blue balls in B = y * 62.5/100
y + y * 62.5/100 + 54 = 210
Number of blue balls in C = y = 96
Number of blue balls in B = 96 * 62.5/100 = 60
11) Answer: A
Required ratio = 96:30
= 16:5
12) Answer: C
Requires percentage = 120/210 * 100 = 57%
13) Answer: E
Number of blue balls in D = 120/100 * 60 = 72
Number of red balls in D = 150/100 * 54 = 81
Total number of balls in D = 72 + 81 = 153
14) Answer: A
Required percentage = 96/210 * 100 = 46%
15) Answer: D
i) Number of blue balls in D = 180 – 76 = 104
Number of red balls in B = 30
This is not correct.
ii) Number of blue balls in C = 96, is correct
iii) Total number of balls in C = 150
Total number of balls in D = 120/100 * 150 = 180, is correct.
Directions (16-20) :
Number of employees who like Cricket in B = x
Number of employees who like Cricket in A = x * 140/100 = 7x/5
Number of employees who like Cricket in C= 3/5 * x = 3x/5
x + 7x/5 + 3x/5 = 1800
5x + 7x + 3x = 9000
x = 600
Number of employees who like Cricket in B = 600
Number of employees who like Cricket in A = 7/5 * 600 = 840
Number of employees who like Cricket in C = 3/5 * 600 = 360
Number of employees who like Football in A = 100/140 * 840 = 600
Total number of employees in A = 600 + 840 = 1440
Total number of employees in B = 75/100 * 1440 = 1080
Total number of employees in C = 100/180 * 1080 = 600
Number of employees who like Football in B = 1080 – 600 = 480
Number of employees who like Football in C = 600 – 360 = 240
16) Answer: D
Total number of employees like football = 480 + 240 + 600 = 1320
17) Answer: A
Number of male employees in C = 3/5 * 600 = 360
Number of female employees in C = 2/5 * 600 = 240
Number of female like cricket in C = 5/12 * 240 = 100
Number of female like football in C = 7/12 * 240 = 140
Number of male like cricket in C = 360 – 100 = 260
Number of male like football in C = 240 – 140 = 100
Difference = 260 – 100 = 160
18) Answer: D
Total number of employees in A = 600 + 840 = 1440
Total number of employees in B = 75/100 * 1440 = 1080
Total number of employees in C = 100/180 * 1080 = 600
Required total = 1440 + 1080 + 600 = 3120
19) Answer: E
Number of male like cricket in B = 2/3 * 600 = 400
Number of male like cricket in C = 3/4 * 360 = 270
Required Difference = 400 – 270 = 130
20) Answer: A
Required ratio = 600: 600
= 1:1

Answers :
Directions (21-25) :
Total number of students = 3000
Total number of boys = 3/5 * 3000 = 1800
Total number of girls = 2/5 * 3000 = 1200
Total number of students from A = 900
Number of boys from A = 25/100 * 1800 = 450
Number of girls from A = 900 – 450 = 450
Number of boys from D = 240
Number of girls from C = 240 – 60 = 180
Number of girls from D = 6/5 * 180 = 216
Total number of students from D = 240 + 216 = 456
Total number of students from B = 24/100 * 3000 = 720
Number of boys from B = 5/9 * 720 = 400
Number of girls from B = 4/9 * 720 = 320
Number of boys from E and C = 1800 – 400 – 240 – 450 = 710
Number of boys from E = 3/5 * 710 = 426
Number of boys from C = 2/5 * 710 = 284
Total number of students from C = 180 + 284 = 464
Number of girls from E = 1200 – 180 – 320 – 216 – 450 = 34
Total number of students from E = 34 + 426 = 460
21) Answer: D
Difference = 426 – 320 = 106
22) Answer: C
Required percentage = 34/456 * 100 = 7.45%
23) Answer: A
Average boys from A, B, C and E = (450 + 400 + 284 + 426)/4 = 390
Average girls from B, D and E = (320 + 34 + 216)/3 = 190
Required ratio = 390:190
=39:19
24) Answer: B
Required percentage = (240/464) *100 = 52%
25) Answer: C
Difference = 450 – 180 = 270
Directions (26-30) :
In hostel A:
Boys = 120
Girls = 130% of girls in B
In hostel B:
Boys: Girls = 2: 1 (2x, x)
In hostel C:
Boys = 120 + 100 = 220
Girls = 1000 – 220 = 780
In hostel D:
Boys = (2x + 220)/2 = x + 110
Given that,
2x – 130% of x = 98
0.7x = 98
x = 140
Then
Girls in A = 130/100 * 140 = 182
Boys in B = 2 * 140 = 280
Girls in B = 140
Boys in D = 140 + 110 = 250
Girls in D = 223 * 2 – 182 (Average of girls in A and D = 223)
= 264
26) Answer: C
Required difference = (250 + 264) – (120 + 182) = 212
27) Answer: D
Required % = [(264 – 250)/(280 – 140)] * 100 = 14/140 * 100 = 10%
28) Answer: E
Required ratio = (280 + 140): 1000 = 21: 50
29) Answer: E
Required % = (280 + 182 – 264)/264 * 100 = 75%
30) Answer: A
Required total= [(182 + 780 + 264) – (3 * 30)] = 1136

Directions (31-35) :
Number of male employees in IT department = 360
Number of female employees in Sales department = 360 * 50/100 = 180
Number of male employees in Sales department = 11/9 * 180 = 220
Number of female employees in Finance department = 220 – 60 = 160
Number of male employees in Finance department = 360 – 160 = 200
Number of female employees in HR department = 100/50 * 160 = 320
Number of female employees in IT department = x
Number of male employees in HR department = 2x
2x + 320 – (x + 360) = 80
x = 120
Number of female employees in IT department = 120
Number of male employees in HR department = 2 * 120 = 240
Total number of employees in HR department = 240 + 320 = 560
Number of employees in IT department = 360 + 120 = 480
Number of employees in Sales department = 220 + 180 = 400

Total number of employees = 3200
Total number of female employees = 1410
Total number of male employees = 3200 – 1410 = 1790
Total number of Finance employees = 1200
Total number of IT employees = 1/3 * 1200 = 400
Number of male IT employees = 400 * 7/10 = 280
Number of female IT employees = 400 * 3/10 = 120
Total number of female HR employees = 240
Total number of employees in HR and Sales = 3200 – 1200 – 400 = 1600
Number of employees in sales = x
Number of employees in HR = x * 60/100 = 3x/5
x + 3x/5 = 1600
8x = 1600 * 5
x = 1000
Number of employees in HR = 3 * 1000/5 = 600
Number of male employees in sales = a
Number of female employees in Sales = a * 150/100 = 3a/2
a + 3a/2 = 1000
5a = 2000
a = 400
Number of female employees in sales = 1200/2 = 600
Number of male employees in HR = 600 – 240 = 360
Number of female employees in Finance = 1410 – 240 – 600 – 120 = 450
Number of male employees in Finance = 1200 – 450 = 750
36) Answer: C

= 380:285
= 76:57
38) Answer: D
Required percentage = 750/1000 * 100 = 75%
39) Answer: C
