Answers :

1) Answer: A

Let Ramesh’s age be 17X and Ram’s age be 20X.

391X + 138 = 400X + 120

9X = 18

X = 2

Thus, Ramesh’s present age = 17 x 2= 34 years

6 years ago Ramesh’s age = 34 – 6 = 28 years


2) Answer: D


3) 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%


4) Answer: B

Quantity of mixture = 24 liters

Water in mixture = 8 liters

Milk in mixture = 24 – 8 = 16 liters

Ratio of milk and water = 16:8 = 2:1

x = 1/2 * 28 = 14 liters


5) Answer: A

2/5 = xC1/(9 + x)C1

5x = 18 + 2x

x = 6

Required probability = 4C2/15C2

= 4 * 3/15 * 14

= 2/35


Directions (6-10) :

Number of male employees in IT department = 360

Number of female employees in Sales department = 360 * 50/100 = 180

Number of male employees in Sales department = 11/9 * 180 = 220

Number of female employees in Finance department = 220 – 60 = 160

Number of male employees in Finance department = 360 – 160 = 200

Number of female employees in HR department = 100/50 * 160 = 320

Number of female employees in IT department = x

Number of male employees in HR department = 2x

2x + 320 – (x + 360) = 80

x = 120

Number of female employees in IT department = 120

Number of male employees in HR department = 2 * 120 = 240

Total number of employees in HR department = 240 + 320 = 560

Number of employees in IT department = 360 + 120 = 480

Number of employees in Sales department = 220 + 180 = 400

6) Answer: A

Total number of employees = 560 + 480 + 400 + 360 = 1800


7) Answer: C

Required percentage = 120/400 * 100 = 30%


8) Answer: D

Total male employees = 240 + 360 + 220 + 200 = 1020

Total female employees = 320 + 120 + 180 + 160 = 780

Difference = 1020 – 780 = 240


9) Answer: A

Required percentage = 200/560 * 100 = 36%


10) Answer: B

Number of postgraduate employees in Sales department = 2/5 * 400 = 160

Number of postgraduate male employees = 45/100 * 220 = 99

Number of postgraduate female employees = 160 – 99 = 61
