Answers :

1) Answer: A

The number of male employees=5x

The number of female employees=8x-5x=3x

5x/(3x+200)=5/4

20x=15x+1000

x=1000/5

x=200

The number of female employees=200*3+200=800


2) Answer: D

Let the total number of students in class A=4x

And the total number of students in class B=3x

The number of boys in class A=5y

The number of boys in class B=4y

4x-5y=60   — (1)

3x-4y=40   — (2)

(1)*3-(2)*4

12x-15y=180

-12x+16y=-160

y=20

x=40

Total number of students in class A=4*40=160


3) Answer: D

(6x – 12000)/(5x – 16000) = 3/1

15x – 48000 = 6x – 12000

x = Rs.4000


4) Answer: A

Le the number of sweet boxes distributed by A=12x

And the number of sweet boxes distributed by C=11x

The number of sweet boxes distributed of B=12x*13/12=13x

Required difference=360*(13x-11x)/36x=360*2/36=20


5) Answer: D

Let the number of boy students in the school=7x

And the number of girl students in the school=5x

7x*5/7-5x*60/100=60

5x-3x=60

x=30

Required average=(7*30+5*30)/2=360/2=180


6) Answer: C

Let the number of boys in the school =5x

And the number of girls in the school=4x

The number of boys in the school is decreased by 20%=5x*4/5=4x

The number of girls in the school is increased by 15%=4x*115/100=23x/5

Required percentage=(23x/5-4x)/4x*100=3/20*100=15%


7) Answer: D

Total number of students in school B=875

Number of boys in school B=875*48/100=420

Number of boys in school A=420*100/80=525

Total number of students in school A=525*8/5=840


8) Answer: A

Let the total population of town A=5x

And the total population of town B=6x

The number of males in town A=60% of 5x=5x*3/5=3x

The number of females in town A=5x-3x=2x

The number of females in town B=54% of 5x=5x*54/100=2.7x

The number of males in town B=6x-2.7x=3.3x

3.3x-3x=1080

x=3600

Total population of town A=5*3600=18000


9) Answer: D

Let the number of females in the company=5x

And the number of males in the company=5x*120/100=6x

(6x+15)/(5x+20)=1/1

6x+15=5x+20

x=5

Total number of employees in the company=11*5=55


10) Answer: D

Income of B = 5x

Income of A = 5x * 180/100 = 9x

Savings of B = 30/100 * 5x

Expenditure of B = 70/100 * 5x

40/100 * 5x = 4000

x = 2000

Income of A = 9 * 2000 = 18000

Savings of A = 18000 * 9/25 = Rs.6480

Answers :

11) Answer: D

Let the maximum marks in the exam = x

So, according to the question,

(83/100 – 58/100) * x = 60.5 + 52

25/100 × x = 112.5

x = 112.5 × 100/125

= 450

So, the maximum marks = 450


12) Answer: D

Total number of students in school B=875

Number of boys in school B=875*48/100=420

Number of boys in school A=420*100/80=525

Total number of students in school A=525*8/5=840


13) Answer: A

Number of boys in the school = 5/8 * 480 * 140/100 = 420

Number of girls in the school = 3/8 * 480 * 75/100 = 135

Required total = 420 + 135 = 555


14) Answer: B

Rohan’s monthly income = 40000

Raju’s monthly income = 40000 × (100+20/100)

Raju’s monthly income = 40000 × 120/100

Raju’s monthly income = Rs.48000

Ram’s yearly income =   2880000/12

Ram’s yearly income = Rs.240000

Answers :

21) Answer: A

Number of Red balls= 40 * 55/100 = 22

Number of Yellow balls = 40 * 45/100 = 18

Selling price of a yellow ball= Rs.5

Selling price of a red ball= 5 * 140/100 = Rs.7

Required Difference = 7 * 22 – 5 * 18 = 154 – 90

= Rs.64


22) Answer: B

Total marks = x

270 + (x * 5/100) = (270 + 81) – (x * 4/100)

(27000 + 5x)/100 = (35100 – 4x)/100

x = 8100/9

x = 900

Passing percentage = 270/900 * 100 + 5%

= 35%


23) Answer: C

Expenditure of Anil = 4 * 4000 = 16000

Expenditure of Nila = 5 * 4000 = 20000

(5x – 16000)/(6x – 20000) = 1/1

6x – 20000 = 5x – 16000

x = 4000

Income of Anil = 5 * 4000 = 20000


24) Answer: A

Total number of students in 2018 = 700

Total number of students in 2020 = 700 * 110/100 * 110/100 = 847

Number of girls to boys in 2020 = 120:100 = 6:5

Number of girls in 2020 = 6/11 * 847 = 462


25) Answer: A

Bindhu = Rs.3500

Anu = 2x

Sunil = 5x

2x + 5x – 3500 = 7000

7x = 10500

x = 1500

Anu = 2 * 1500 = 3000

Required percentage = 3000/3500 * 100 = 85.7%


26) Answer: C

Number of medical colleges = 8x

Number of engineering colleges = 11x

Required ratio = 8x * 75/100:11x * 140/100

= 600:1540

= 30:77


27) Answer: E

Total number of CSE students = 5x

Total number of ECE students = 4x

Number of boys in ECE students = 5y

Number of boys in CSE students = 5y * 140/100 = 7y

5x – 7y = 170

We cannot find the answer.


28) Answer: B

Expenditure of Amuthan = 80/100 * 12500 = 10000

Savings of Amuthan = 12500 – 10000 = 2500

Savings of Bharathi = 3/5 * 2500 = 1500

Income of Bharathi = 4/1 * 1500 = Rs.6000


29) Answer: E

Total marks = x

A got 30% of mark = 30/100 * x = 3x/10

B got the marks = 3/2 * 3x/10 = 9x/20

9x/20 – 3x/10 = 36 + 54

x = 600

Passing mark = 3x/10 + 36

= 216


30) Answer: C

T + C + I = 4240

T = 120/100 * I = 6I/5

I = 75/100 * C = 3C/4

I + 6I/5 + 4I/3 = 4240

15I + 18I + 20I = 4240 * 15

I = 1200

TCS = 6 * 1200/5 = 1440

CTS = 4 * 1200/3 = 1600

Difference = 1600 – 1440 = 160
