Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: A

(12b + 18g) * 6 = 12g * 18

12b + 18g = 36g

12b = 18g

b = 3/2g

(12b + 18g) * 4 + (8b +18g) * D = 12g * 18

b = 3/2g, so

36g * 4 + 30g * D = 12g * 18

24g + 5g * D = 36g

D = 12/5

2) Answer: A

s1 = x/4, s2 = 2x/7, t1 = y + 2, t2 = y

x/4 * (y + 2) + 2x/7 * (y) = x

(y + 2)/4 + 2y/7 = 1

y = 14/15

Required time = 14/15 * 60 = 56 min

3) Answer: E

36 = s * t —– 1

36 = (s – 6) * (t + 1) —– 2

From 1 and 2,

36/(s – 6) – 36/s = 1

s2 – 6s – 216 = 0

s = -12, 18

s = 18

t = 36/18 = 2

In latter case, s – 6 = 12

t + 1 = 3

Hence, we can find all from the given statement.

4) Answer: C

Speed of the boat = x

40/(x – 4) – 40/(x + 4) = 150/60 hr

x2 – 16 = 128

x = 12, -12

Now for 25 km, 25 = (12 –   4) * t

t = 25/8 hrs

5) Answer: D

1/A + 1/B = 11/48 —– 1

1/A + 1/B – 1/C = 5/24 —— 2

From 1 and 2,

1/C = 1/48

C drain off 15l/min,

48 * 15 = 720 litres

Directions (6-10) :

6) Answer: D

5x + 5 + 6x + 2 = 95

x = 8

Ram: 6x + 2 = 50

Bala: 5x + 5 = 45

7) Answer: D

20/(x – 5) – 20/(x + 5) = 1

x2 = 225

x = 15

2x = 30 kmph

8) Answer: D

Let us take cost price of the bicycle be Rs.100

MP = 100 * 125/100 = Rs.125

SP = 125 * (100 – 10)/100 = Rs.112.5

Required percentage = (112.5 – 100)/100 * 100 = 12.5%

9) Answer: D

Amount = P (1 + R/100)2

43264 = P (1 + 4/100)2

43264 * 100/104 * 100/104 = 40000

Simple interest = PNR/100

= (40000 * 15 * 2)/100 = Rs. 12000

10) Answer: D

Profit ratio of Ram and Bala = (900 * 6)/(x * 12) = 15/13

x = 390
