Answers :
Directions (1-5) :
Total number of balls = 330
Total number of balls in A = Total number of balls in B
Total number of balls in C = 5a
Number of balls in A = 5a * 60/100 = 3a
5a + 3a + 3a = 330
a = 30
Total number of balls in A = 3 * 30 = 90
Total number of balls in B = 90
Total number of balls in C = 5 * 30 = 150
Ratio of the number of red to blue balls in A = 100:150 = 2:3
Number of blue balls in A = 3/5 * 90 = 54
Number of red balls in A = 2/5 * 90 = 36
Total number of red balls = x
Number of red balls in B = 25/100 * x = x/4
Number of red balls in C = x/4 + 24
x/4 + x/4 + 24 + 36 = x
60 = x – x/2
60 = x/2
x = 120
Number of red balls in B = 120/4 = 30
Number of red balls in C = 30 + 24 = 54
Total number of blue balls = 330 – 120 = 210
Number of blue balls in C = y
Number of blue balls in B = y * 62.5/100
y + y * 62.5/100 + 54 = 210
y = 96
Number of blue balls in B = 96 * 62.5/100 = 60
1) Answer: A
Required ratio = 96:30
= 16:5
2) Answer: C
Requires percentage = 120/210 * 100 = 57%
3) Answer: E
Blue balls in D = 120/100 * 60 = 72
Red balls in D = 150/100 * 54 = 81
Total number of balls in D = 72 + 81 = 153
4) Answer: A
Required percentage = 96/210 * 100 = 46%
5) Answer: D
i) Number of blue balls in D = 180 – 76 = 104
Number of red balls in B = 30
This is not correct.
ii) Number of blue balls in C = 96, is correct
iii) Total number of balls in C = 150
Total number of balls in D = 120/100 * 150 = 180, this satisfied.
6) Answer: C
32 + 20 = 52
52 + 40 = 92
92 + 80 = 172
172 + 160 = 332
332 + 320 = 652
7) Answer: E
19 + (20 * 4) = 99
99 + (22 * 5) = 209
209 + (24 * 6) = 353
353 + (26 * 7) = 535
535 + (28 * 8) = 759
8) Answer: A
256 – 42 = 240
240 – 52 = 215
215 – 62 = 179
179 – 72 = 130
130 – 82 = 66
9) Answer: B
32 + 7 = 39
39 + 11 = 50
50 + 13 = 63
63 + 17 = 80
80 + 19 = 99
10) Answer: C
52 – 1 = 24
72 – 2 = 47
92 – 3 = 78
112 – 4 = 117
132 – 5 = 164
152 – 6 = 219
