Solutions:
1). Five years ago, let Arjun’s age be 3x years. Then, Somu’s age = x
Now, according to the question.
(3x +5 + 6)/( x+5+12) = 7/4
or, (3x+11)/( x+17) =7/4
or, 12x + 44 = 7x + 119
or, 5x = 75
:. x = 15
Somu’s age 3 years ago = 15 + (5 – 3) = 17 years
Answer is: C)
2). Total number of eggs = 24
:. 8 eggs are rotten
:. Remaining eggs = (24 – 8); 16 is not rotten
Now, 2 eggs are randomly selected.
Then n(S) =24C2= 23 x 12
:. n(E)=16C1 ×8C1= 16 × 8
:. P(E)= (16×8)/( 23 ×12) = 32/69
Answer is: D)
3). Ratio of profit
= x × 4 + 2x × 8 : 3x ×4 + (3x/2)× 8 :
5x × 4 + (5x/2) ×8 = 20x: 24x: 40x = 5 : 6 : 10
Answer is: D)

4). We know that increase in volume

=3 × x + (3x2/100) + (x3/1002)
As there is decrease, put the -ve value of x.
:. Percentage decrease in volume
=3 × (-30) +   [3 × (-30)2 / 100] + [(-30)3 /1002 ]
= – 90 + 27 – 2.7
= -65.7
Note: If you don’t recall the formula, compound it like.
Step I. -30 – 30 + [(-30)(-30)/100]= -51
Step II.-51 -30+ [(-51)(-30)/100]
= – 81 + 15.3
= -65.7
Answer is: E
5). Circumference of the semicircle = r (π+2)
:. r[(22/7)+2] =180
or, r(36/7)=180
r = 35cm
Now, side of the square = 2×35 × (160/100)
=2 × 35 × 1.60 = 70 × 1.60 = 112 cm
:. Perimeter of the square = 4 × 112
= 448 cm
Answer is: D
6). Let the cost of each Sofa be Rs.x,
Now, according to the question,
2x×(114/100)= [(x ×130)/100] + [(x ×130)/100] – 5504
or, 2.28x = 2.6x – 5504
or, 0.32x = 5504
:. x= [(5504 × 100)/32] = 172 × 100= Rs. 17200
Answer is: E)
7). The ratio of milk to water in Jar X
= 180 : 36 = 5:1
Now, let 6x litres of mixture be taken out from Jar X and put in Jar Y.
Then, milk in Jar Y = 5x
Water in Jar Y= x
So, 5x/(x+6) = 5/2
or, 10x=(5x + 30)
or, 5x=30,
:. x=6
Hence the mixture that was taken out from Jar X = 6x =6 × 6 = 36 litres
Answer is: D)
8). Let Prakash’s monthly salary be 9x and Omana’s 7x.
Then, 1/2 of 20% of 7x +(7/9) of 40% of 9x = 17500
or, 10% of 7x + 40% of 7x = 17500
or, 0.7x + 2.8x = 17500
or, 3.5x = 17500
:. x =Rs. 5000
Hence Prakash’s monthly salary = 9 × 5000
= Rs. 45000
Shortcut Method:
According to the question, 7 + 28 = 17500
:. 90 = (17500/35)×90 =45000
Answer is: C)
9). Required difference
= [P+(P×10×2)/100] × [(12×5)/100] – [(P×10×2)/100]
or, [(100P+ 20P)/100] × (60/100) – (20P/100) = 1300
or, (120P/100) × (3/5) – (20P/100)=1300
or, 6P/5 × 3/5 – 20P/100 = 1300
or, (72P-20P)/100 =1300
or, 52P = 1300 × 100
:. P=(1300 × 100)/52
= Rs.2500
Shortcut Method:
Suppose Raja invested Rs.100 in scheme X.
Then,
According to the question:
52 =Rs.1300
:. P = 100 = (1300/52) x 100 =Rs.2500
Answer is: A)
10). The distance covered in (9 am – 8 am) is 1 hour by train “X”=53 × 1 = 53 km Remaining distance 569 – 53 = 516 km
Relative speed 76 + 53 =129 kmph
:. They meet after (516/129) = 4 hours
Hence they meet at (9 am + 4 hours) = 1 pm
Answer is: B)
