11) Answers : B)
The ratio of investment of Abhishek and Abhijit = 3 : 4
The ratio of share of Abhishek and Abhijit = 10000 : 40000 = 1: 4
Investment*Period = Ratio of profit
The ratio of time period of Abhishek and Abhijit = (1/3) : (4/4) = 1 : 3
12) Answer : C)
Let CP = 100n
Hence MP = 130n
And SP = 130n x 0.8 = 104n
Profit = 4n = 50
=> n = 12.5
Hence cost price = Rs. 1250
13) Answers : D)
S.I = (P*n*r)/100
35000 = (P*5*10)/100
P = (35000*100)/50
P = Rs. 70000
Compound Interest:
70000*(6/100) = 4200
74200*(6/100) = 4452
C.I = 4200 + 4452 = Rs. 8652
14) Answer : B)
The share of Rishi, Kunal and Nimi,
= > [6*2 + 12*1] : [7*3] : [12*2]
= >24 : 21 : 24
= >8 : 7 : 8
23’s = 69000
1’s = 3000
The difference between the shares of Kunal and Nimi in the total profit
= > (8’s – 7’s) = Rs. 3000
15) Answers : A)
Let the two numbers be x and y,
X – Y = 540
(32/100)*X = (48/100)*Y
(X/Y) = 3/2
X : y = 3 : 2
1’s = 540
The two numbers be,
= > 3’s = (540*3) = 1620
= > 2’s = (540*2) = 1080
16) Answer : B)
Priyanka = Renuka + 8
The ratio of the present ages of Priyanka to Myna = 4 : 5 (4x, 5x)
Renuka = Myna – 16
Renuka’s present age = 5x – 16
Priyanka = Renuka + 8
4x = 5x – 16 + 8
8 = 5x – 4x
X = 8
Present age of Renuka = 5x – 16 = 40 – 16 = 24 years
17) Answer : D)
The ratio of speed of downstream to that of upstream = 3 : 1
Speed of stream = 100/40 = 5/2 m/s = (5/2)*(18/5) = 9 Km/hr
(1/2)*(3x – x) = 9
X = 9
Speed of boat in still water = (1/2)*(4x) = 2x = 18 Km/hr
Distance covered in 1 hour = 18 km
18) Answer : C)
Let total capacity of the tank be T litres
Part of tank filled when all the pipes are opened = T*(1/12+1/10-1/15) = 7T/60
Total tank filled in 8 hours = (7T/60)*8 = 56T/60 =14T/15
According to the question,
= > (14T/15) + 200 = T
= > T/15 = 200
= > T = 3000 litres
19) Answer : A)
Let the C.P be x,
M.P = 1500 + C.P = 1500 + x
- P = (1500 + x) – 250 = 1250 + x
S.P = (120/100)*x =(6/5)x
1250 + x = (6/5)x
6250 + 5x = 6x
C.P(X) = 6250
To earn a profit of 30 %,
- P = (130/100)*6250 = Rs. 8125
20) Answer : C)
Total probability n(S) = 16C3
Required probability n(E) = 7C1 and 5C1 and 4C1
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)
P(E) = (7C1 and 5C1 and 4C1)/ 16C3
P(E) = ¼
21) Answer : B)
Total students in Aeronautical and Chemical = 216 + 141 = 357
Total students in Civil and electronics = 500 + 310 = 810
Required ratio = 357 : 810 = 119 : 270
22) Answer : A)
Total students in 2004 in all the given branches together
= > 109 + 110 + 115 + 80 + 60 + 30 = 504
Required average = 504/6 = 84
23) Answer : E)
Total number of students in 2002
= > 75 + 80 + 65 + 46 + 25 + 19 = 310
Total number of students in 2003
= > 85 + 95 + 108 + 60 + 35 + 27 = 410
Required percentage = [(410 – 310)/310] * 100 = 32.26%
24) Answer : B)
Total Students in Mechanical = 50 + 75 + 85 + 109 + 120 = 439
Total Students in Chemical = 15 + 19 + 27 + 30 + 50 = 141
Total Students in Civil = 24 + 46 + 60 + 80 + 100 = 310
Total Electronic, Computer Science and Aeronautical students in all the given years together
= > 439 + 141 + 310 = 890
Total Students in Electronic = 65 + 80 + 95 + 110 + 150 = 500
Total Students in Computer Science = 45 + 65 + 108 + 115 + 145 = 478
Total Students in Aeronautical = 11 + 25 + 35 + 60 + 85 = 216
Total Mechanical, Chemical and Civil students in all the given years together
= > 500 + 478 + 216 = 1194
Required difference = 1194 – 890 = 304
25) Answer : D)
From the given figure,
Growth in mechanical students:
In 2002: [(75 – 50)/150] * 100 = 50%
In 2003: [(85 – 75)/175] * 100 = 13.33%
In 2004: [009 – 85)/85] * 100 = 28.23%
In 2005: [020 – 109)/109] * 100 = 10.09%
26) Answer : A)
54 + 94 – (45/100)*800 = x + (1188/9) – 1296
54 + 94 – 360 + 1296 = x + 132
54 + 94 – 360 + 1296 – 132 = x
X = 952
27) Answer : B)
X % of 900 = 1770 – 160 % of 150
(x/100)*900 = 1770 – (160 * 150)/100
9x = 1770 – 240
x = 1530/9 = 170
28) Answer : B)
x = 140 * (30/7) – √1225
x = 20 * 30 – 35
x = 600 – 35 = 565
29) Answer : D)
15 1/3 – 4 1/6 + 8 5/12 – 7 2/3 – 2 7/12 = x
(15 – 4 + 8 – 7 – 2) (1/3 – 1/6 + 5/12 – 2/3 – 7/12) = x
10 [(4 – 2 + 5 – 8 – 7)/12] = x
X = 10 (-8/12) = 10 (-2/3)
X = (30 – 2)/3 = 28/3 = 9 1/3
30) Answer : C)
11 *x* 9 = 542 + 54
99 x = 2916 + 54
x = 2970/99 = 30
31) Answer : C)
(26/100)*400 + (48/100)*700 – (25/100)*450 = x
104 + 336 – 112.5 = x
X = 327.5 = 330
32) Â Answer : A)
(8/36)*(63/216)*756 – 342 + (67/100)*600 = x
X = 49 – 342 + 402
X = 109 = 110
33) Answer : B)
41 % of 700 + 69 % of 800 – 35 % of 750 = x
X = (41/100)*700 + (69/100)*800 – (35/100)*750
X = 287 + 552 – 262.5
X = 576.5 = 577
34) Answer : E)
(33451/11) + (5/7)*12544 + (52/100)*2500 = x2 – 388
3041 + 8960 + 1300 + 388 = x2
X2 = 13689
X = 117
35) Answer : E)
120 % of 1800 + (3/7)*6888 = x + 219
(120/100)*1800 + (3/7)*6888 = x + 219
2160 + 2952 – 219 = x
X = 4893 = 4890
