Answers:
1) Answer: C
Given,
= > [8x * (125/100)] / [5x * (120/100)]
= > 5/3 = 5: 3
2) Answer: B
The share of P, Q and R
= [25000 * 5 + 25000 * (125/100) * 7]: [30000 * 12]: [40000* 5 + 30000* 7]
= > 343750: 360000: 410000
= > 275: 288: 328
891’s = 178200
1’s = 200
The share of Q = 288’s = Rs. 57600
3) Answer: A
The diagonal of the square = (1/2) * d2Â = 288
d2Â = 576
Diagonal of the square (d) = 24 cm
The area of triangle = (1/2) * b * h = (1/2) * 24 * 32 = 384 Sq cm
4) Answer: D
Total possible = 62Â = 36
Possibilities of getting a sum of dice is divisible by 5
= > (1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1), (4, 6), (5, 5), (6, 4) = 7
Required probability = 7/36
5) Answer: C
Let the speed of boat in still water be x km/hr,
According to the question,
[144/(x – 8)] – [144/(x + 8)] = (9/2)
[(x + 8) – (x – 8)]/[x2 – 64] = (9/2) * (1/144)
(16/[x2 – 64]) = 1/32
x2 – 64 = 512
x2Â = 576
x = 24
The speed of boat in still water = 24 km/hr
Directions (6-10):
6) Answer: D
7) Answer: C
18 * 1 + 3 = 21
21 * 2 + 6 = 48
48 * 3 + 9 = 153
153 * 4 + 12 = 624
624 * 5 + 15 =Â 3135
8) Answer: A
117 + (22 – 1) = 120
120 + (23 – 3) = 125
125 + (24 – 5) = 136
136 + (25 – 7) = 161
161 + (26 – 9) = 216
9) Answer: D
17 * 3 + 3 = 54
54 * 3 + 3 = 165
165 * 3 + 3 =498
498 * 3 + 3 = 1497
1497 * 3 + 3 =Â 4494
10) Answer: B
456 * ½ =228
228 * 2/3 = 152
152 * ¾ = 114
114 * 4/5 =Â 91.2
91.2 * 5/6 = 76
