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
