Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: A

The average age of P, Q and R, 3 years ago = 14 years

The total present age of P, Q and R = (14 * 3) + 9 = 51 years

The average present age of P, Q, R and S together = 20 years

The total present age of P, Q, R and S together = 80 years

The present age of S = 80 – 51 = 29 years

Shortcut:

Average present age of P, Q and R = 14 + 3 = 17

The present age of S = 20 + (20 – 17) * 3 = 29 years

2) Answer: D

The share of P, Q and R,

= > [15000 * 12]: [Q * 8]: [R * 6] = 18: 16: 15

= > 180000: 8Q: 6R = 18: 16: 15

18’s = 180000

1’s = 10000

8Q = 160000

Q = 20000

6R = 150000

R = 25000

The sum of the investment of Q and R together

= > 20000 + 25000

= > Rs. 45000

3) Answer: A

Let passed students be x,

According to the question,

65 * 28 = 32 * x + 12 * (65 – x)

1820 = 32x + 780 – 12x

1040 = 20x

x = 1040 / 20 = 52

Total number of passed students = 52

(Or)

= > 4 : 1

5’s = 65

1’s = 13

The total number of passed students = 52

4) Answer: A

SI = PNR / 100

20000 = (P * 4 * 10) / 100

P = (20000 * 100) / 40 = Rs. 50000

Compound Interest:

CI for 1st year = 50000 * (8/100) = 4000

CI for 2nd year = 54000 * (8/100) = 4320

CI = 4000 + 4320 = Rs. 8320

Or

CI = P (1 + r/100)n – P

= 50000 (1 + 8/100)2 – 50000

= 58320 – 50000

= Rs. 8320

5) Answer: C

The tank will be filled by P, Q, R in 8 hours = 8/24 = 1/3

Remaining work = 1 – 1/3 = 2/3

Time taken by P and Q to fill the tank = 20/2 * 3 = 30 h

R’s 1 hour work = 1/24 – 1/30 = 1/120

Time taken by R to fill the tank = 120 hrs

Directions (6 – 10):

Class A:

Total notes = 3 * 40 = 120

Total pens = 40 * 1 = 40

Total books = 40 * 5 = 200

Total pencils = 40 * x

Total bags = 40 * (x – 1)

Total item = 120 + 40 + 200 + 40x + 40 (x – 1) = 480

80x – 40 = 120

= > 80x = 160 = > x = 2

Total pencils = 40 * x = 80

Total bags = 40 * (x – 1) = 40

Class B:

Total notes = 60 * 4 = 240

Total pens = 60 * y

Total books = 60 * (y + 4)

Total pencils = 60 * (x + 1) = 60 * (2 + 1) = 180

Total bags = 60 * (y – 1)

Total items = 480 * 2 = 960

240 + 60y + 60y + 240 + 180 + 60y – 60 = 960

600 + 180y = 960

= > y = 360/180 = 2

Total pens = 60 * y = 120

Total books = 60 * (y + 4) = 360

Total bags = 60 * (y – 1) = 60

Class C:

Total notes = 240 + 10 = 250

Total books = 200/2 * 3 = 300

Total pens = 50 * (y + 1) = 50 * (2 + 1) = 150

Total pencils = 50 * x = 50x = 50 * 2 = 100

Total bags = 50 * z

Total items = 2290 – 480 – 960 = 850

250 + 300 + 150 + 100 + 50z = 850

50z = 50

= > z = 1

Total bags = 50 * 1 = 50

6) Answer: A

Quantity I:

Required average = 480/40 = 12

Quantity II:

Required average = 960/60 = 16

Hence, Quantity I < Quantity II

7) Answer: C

Required ratio = 360: 150 = 12: 5

8) Answer: D

Required percentage

= [(250 + 150) – (120 + 180)]/(150 + 250) * 100

= 100/400 * 100 = 25% less

9) Answer: C

Note = 610

Pen = 310

Books = 860

Pencil = 360

Bag = 150

10) Answer: E

Total Note, pen and bags distributed for all the class together

= (610 + 310 + 150) = 1070

Remaining items = 2290 – 1070 = 1220

Required difference = 1220 – 1070 = 150
