Answers:
1)c 2)c 3)e 4)e 5)c 6)e 7)a 8)c 9)d 10)a
Solutions:
1. C)Here, a=10L, n=2, x=100L
Quantity of guava juice in end =x (1-a/x)^n =100 * (1-10/100)^2 =81 L
Required ratio =81:(100-81)=81:19
2. C)Remain profit for A, B& C = 7400 * 95/100 = 7030
A:B:C = 6500*6 : 8400*5 : 10,000*3 ===> 39:42:30
Share of B= 7030*42/111 = Rs. 2660
3. E)State A and State B had an equal number of candidates appeared.
In state A, candidates got selected = 6%
In state B, candidates got selected = 7%
Difference between the selected candidates from state A and B = 1%
This 1% is given which is equal to = 80
So, 100% will be equal to = 80*100 = 8000
Total appeared candidates in State A = total appeared candidates in State B = 8000
4. E)Let total voters = V
No. of voters who cast their vote = 0.9*V
Valid votes = 0.9*0.9*V = 0.81*V
Winner got 54%& loser got 46% i.e a difference of 8% or 0.08.
SO,
0.08 * (0.81*V) = 1620
V = 25000.
5. C)Let the number of persons eligible to vote be x. Then,
Number of eligible persons between 18 and 21 = 8% of x
Number of persons between 18 and 21, who voted = 85% of (8% of x)
= 85/100 * 8/100 * x = 68x/1000
Required percentage = 68x/1000 * 1/x * 100 = 6.8%
6. E)Let the monthly salary of Pragya be Rs. ‘a’.
Then, [100-(25+20)]% of [100-(24+15)]% of a = 10736
55% of 61% of a = 10736 ————–> a = 32000
7. A)Let CP = Rs 100, P = 30.05%
∴ S.P. = Rs 130.05
Discounts = 10%, 15%, 15%∴ M.P. = 130.05 × 100/90 x 100/85 x 100/85 = Rs 200
If discounts are 10% and 15% only
∴ S.P. = M.P. × {(100-d1)/100} x {(100-d2)/100}
=> 200 x 90/100 x 85/100 = Rs. 153
So, Profit = 53%
8. C)Let the speeds of fast plane and slow planes be x and y m/sec respectively D = s × t
If they move in opposite direction
15 (x + y) = 1200 ⇒ x + y = 80 m/sec … (i)
If they move in same direction, relative speed = x – y m/sec
Time = 60 i.e. 4 times
∴ Speed is (1/4)th x – y = 20 m/sec … (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii),
y = 50 m/sec = 0.05 km/sec
9. D)You are starting from Mumbai at 12:00 noon, so you’ll meet first train which is going to reach Mumbai at 12:30pm or which started from Pune at 8:00am. Also you’ll reach Pune at 4:30pm, so you’ll meet the last train which leaves Pune at 4:00pm.
So in all, you are going to meet all trains which start from Pune at 8:00am, 9:00am, 10:00am, 11:00am, 12:00noon, 1:00pm, 2:00pm, 3:00pm and 4:00pm i.e. 9 in total.
10. A) (D/40) – (D/50) = 1 ⇒ D = 200 kms
