Answers:
Directions (1-5):
1) Answer: e)
Let the cost price of milk be Rs. 1
Selling price of mixture = Rs. 1
Cost price of mixture = 1 * 100/120 = 5/6
= > – (5/6) : – (1/6)
= > 5 : 1
2) Answer: c)
Let the number of red balls be x,
Probability = 5C2/(x+5)C2 = 5/33
(5 * 4) /[(x + 5)(x + 4)]= 5/33
132 = (x + 5) (x + 4)
x2 + 9x + 20 = 132
x2 + 9x – 112 = 0
(x + 16) (x – 7) = 0
x = -16, 7 (Negative value will be eliminated)
So, x = 7
The number of red balls = 7 balls
3) Answer: c)
Incomes of Rahul and Kathir are in the ratio = 4 : 5 (4x, 5x)
According to the question,
= > (4x – 4000)/(5x – 8000) = 6/7
= > 28x – 28000 = 30x – 48000
= > 2x = 20000
= > x = 10000
Income of Rahul = 4x = Rs. 40000
4) Answer: d)
Let the speed of boat in still water be x,
According to the question,
2 = 80/(x – 10) – 80/(x + 10)
2 = 80 * [1/(x – 10) – 1/(x + 10)]
1 = 40 * [(x + 10 – x + 10) / (x2 – 100)]
x2 – 100 = 40 * 20
x2 = 800 + 100 = 900
x = 30
The speed of boat in still water = 30 km/hr
5) Answer: c)
“ENORMITY”, contains 8 different letters.
Required number of words = 8p4
= > (8 * 7 * 6 * 5) = 1680
Directions (6-10):
6) Answer: a)
The average production of Rice in all the given states together
= > (28 + 25 + 20 + 18 + 24) / 5
= > 115 / 5 = 23 thousand tonnes
The average production of Barley in all the given states together
= > (16 + 12 + 14 + 10 + 18) / 5
= > 70 / 5 = 14 thousand tonnes
Required difference = 23 – 14 = 9 thousand tonnes
7) Answer: b)
The total production of all the given food grains in MP
= > 28 + 20 + 18 + 16 = 82 thousand tonnes
The total production of all the given food grains in West Bengal
= > 20 + 12 + 10 + 14 = 56 thousand tonnes
Required ratio = 82 : 56 = 41 : 28
8) Answer: c)
Total production of Millet in MP, Haryana and West Bengal together
= > 18 + 14 + 10 = 42 thousand tonnes
Total production of Wheat in Haryana, Odisha and AP together
= > 15 + 16 + 14 = 45 thousand tonnes
Required % = (42 / 45) * 100 = 93.33 % = 95 %
9) Answer: a)
The total production of all the given food grains in Odisha
= > 18 + 16 + 8 + 10 = 52 thousand tonnes
The total production of all the given food grains in AP
= > 24 + 14 + 12 + 18 = 68 thousand tonnes
Required % = [(68 – 52) / 68] * 100 = 23.52 % = 25 % less
10) Answer: d)
The total production of all the given food grains in Haryana
= > 25 + 15 + 14 + 12 = 66 thousand tonnes
The total production of Wheat in all the given states together
= > 20 + 15 + 12 + 16 + 14 = 77 thousand tonnes
Required difference = 77 – 66 = 11 thousand tonnes
