Answers:

Directions (1-5):

1) Answer: c)

The efficiency ratio of A and C = 100 : 60 = 5 : 3

The day ratio of A and B = 3 : 5 (3x, 5x)

(A + B)’s one day work = 1/10

(B + C)’s one day work = 1/15

(A – C)’s one day work = (1/10) – (1/15) = 1/30

According to the question,

(1/3x) – (1/5x) = 1/30

2x / (3x * 5x) = 1/30

2/15x = 1/30

60 = 15x

x = 4

A alone can finish a work in = 3x = 12 days

2) Answer: b)

The diameter of the smaller circle = Side of the square = 16 cm

The radius of the smaller circle (r) = 8 cm

The diameter of the larger circle = Diagonal of the square = √2*Side = 16√2

The radius of the larger circle = 8√2

The ratio of area of smaller circle and area of larger circle

= > 82 : (8√2)2

= > 64 : 128 = 1 : 2

3) Answer: d)

The ratio of present ages of son and daughter of a lady = 7 : 8 (7x, 8x)

The present age of lady = 7x + 8x = 15x

According to the question,

(7x + 3) / (8x – 6) = 4/3

21x + 9 = 32x – 24

11x = 33

x = 3

Son’s present age = 21 years

Daughter’s present age = 24 years

Present age of lady = 45 years

Required ratio = 45 : (21 + 4) = 45 : 25 = 9 : 5

4) Answer: b)

Let us assume the marked price of the article be Rs. 100,

Sp= 100 * (90/100) * (85/100) = Rs. 76.5

(153/100) * Cp = 76.5

Cp = 76.5 * (100/153) = Rs. 50

If the shopkeeper offers only 20 % discount, the profit % will be,

Sp = 100 * (80/100) = Rs. 80

Profit % = [(80 – 50)/50] * 100 = (30/50) * 100 = 60 %

5) Answer: c)

Total probability n(S) = 10C3

Required probability n(E) = 6C2 and 4C1

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = (6C2 and 4C1) / 10C3 = 1/2

Directions (6-10):

6) Answer: c)

The total number of males attended the interview in February = 600

The total number of females attended the interview in February

= > (600/3) * 1 = 200

The sum of total number of candidates attended the interview in April and May = 1200

The total number of candidates attended the interview in May

= > 1200 – 500 = 700

The total number of males attended the interview in January and May together

= > 400 * (5/8) + 700 * (3/5)

= > 250 + 420 = 670

The total number of females attended the interview in February and March together

= > 200 + 650 * (7/13)

= > 200 + 350 = 550

Required ratio = 670 : 550 = 67 : 55

7) Answer: a)

The total number of candidates qualified the interview in January

= > 400 * (58/100) = 232

The total number of candidates qualified the interview in April

= > 500 * (70/100) = 350

Required % = [(350 – 232) / 350] * 100 = 33.71 % = 34 % less

8) Answer: d)

The ratio of total number of candidates attended the interview in May to that of June = 2 : 1 (2x, x)

The ratio between the total number of candidates qualified the interview in May to that of June

= > [2x * (64/100)] : [x * (76/100)]

= > [2 * 64] : [76]

= > 32 : 19

9) Answer: b)

The average number of candidates attended the interview in all the given months except June = 610

The total number of candidates attended the interview in all the given months except June = 610 * 5 = 3050

According to the question,

400 + 650 + 500 + February + May = 3050

February + May = 3050 – 1550 = 1500 –à (1)

The number of candidates attended the interview in February

= > 100 + The number of candidates attended the interview in May

February – May = 100 —à (2)

From (1) and (2),

February = 800, May = 700

The number of candidates attended the interview in May = 700

10) Answer: c)

The total number of males attended the interview in January, March and April together

= > 400 * (5/8) + 650 * (6/13) + 500 * (12/25)

= > 250 + 300 + 240 = 790
