Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

1) Answer: E

Quantity I:

The ratio of present age of Nive and Renuka = 4: 7

Nive = Bhairavi – 8

After 7 years, Bhairavi’s age = 35

Present age of Bhairavi = 28

Nive = 28 – 8 = 20

4’s = 20

1’s = 5

Present age of Renuka = 7’s = 35 years

Quantity II:

The sum of the present age Rahul and his son = 40 years

Rahul + Rahul’s son = 40

15 years after, the ratio of the age of Rahul and his son = 5: 2

According to the question,

5x – 15 + 2x – 15 = 40

7x = 40 + 30

7x = 70

x = 10

Present age of Rahul= 5x – 15 = 35 years

Quantity I = Quantity II

2) Answer: A

Quantity I:

Speed of downstream = (80 * 60)/48 = 100 km/hr

Speed of current: Speed of still water = 3: 7

Speed of upstream = Speed of boat in still water – speed of Current

100 = 10x

= > x = 10

Speed of current = 30 km/hr

Speed of boat in still water = 70 km/hr

Speed of upstream= Speed of boat in still water – speed of Current

= > 70 – 30 = 40 km/hr

Speed = 40 km/hr, Time = 300 minutes

Distance = 40 * (300/60) = 200 km

Quantity II:

Speed of downstream = 12 + 6 = 18 km/hr

Speed of upstream = 12 – 6 = 6 km/hr

Let the distance travelled be x,

(x/18) + (x/6) = 40

x = 180 km

(Or)

Distance = Time *[(Speed of Still water2 – speed of Stream2)/(2*Speed of Still water)]

= > Distance = 40 * [(122 – 62)/(2 * 12)]

= > Distance = 40 * [(144 – 36)/24]

= > Distance = 180 km

Quantity I > Quantity II

3) Answer: A

Quantity I:

According to the question,

(110/100) * CP = 5500

CP = 5500 * (10/11) = Rs. 5000

SP = 5900

Profit % = (Profit/CP) * 100

= > (900/5000) * 100

= > 18 %

Quantity II:

According to the question,

CP1= 5000, Profit = 10 %

SP1 = 5000 * (110/100) = 5500

CP2 = 5000, Loss = 5 %

SP2 = 5000 × (95/100) = 4750

Total selling price = S.P1 + S.P2 = 5500 + 4750 = 10250

Total cost price = 5000 + 5000 = 10000

Profit % = (250/10000) * 100 = 2.5 %

Quantity I > Quantity II

4) Answer: C

Quantity I:

Total quantity of mixture = 15 litres

Water = 15 * (2/5) = 6 lit, Milk = 15 * (3/5) = 9 lit

Given,

= > (3x – 9)/(2x – 6 + 15) = 21/29

= > 87x – 261 = 42x + 189

= > 45x = 450

= > x = 10

Initial quantity of milk = 5x = 50 litres

Quantity II:

Total mixture = 150 litres

Milk = 100 lit, water = 50 lit

According to the question,

100/(50 + x) = 40/60

150 = 50 + x

x = 100 litres

Quantity I < Quantity II

5) Answer: C

Quantity I:

The difference between the simple interest and compound interest for 2 years,

Diff = Sum * (r/100)2

600 = Sum * (10/100)2

(600 * 100 * 100)/100 = Sum

Sum = Rs. 60000

Quantity II:

I = Pnr/100

30000 = (P * 5 * 8)/100

(30000 * 100)/40 = P

Principle = Rs. 75000

Quantity II > Quantity I

Directions (6-10) :

6) Answer: B

Total probability n(S) = 20C4

Required probability = n(E) = 8C1 and 5C1 and 4C1 and 3C1

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)

P(E) = (8C1 and 5C1 and 4Cand 3C1)/20C4

P(E) = 32/323

7) Answer: C

The ratio of 3 years after, the age of P and 6 years ago, the age of Q = 3: 4 (3x, 4x)

Present age of P and Q = 3x – 3, 4x + 6

The age of R = 2 * P = 2 * (3x – 3) = 6x – 6

(6x – 6) – (4x + 6) = 6

6x – 6 – 4x – 6 = 6

2x = 6 + 12

2x = 18

x = 9

Present age of P = 3x – 3 = 27 – 3 = 24 years

8) Answer: D

Volume of the cylinder = πr2h

The ratio of volume of cylinder 1 and 2 = 3: 1

The ratio of height of cylinder 1 and 2 = 3: 4

The ratio between the heights of cylinder 1 to that of cylinder 2,

= > [π * (3x) * r12]/[π * (4x) * r22] = (3/1)

= > r12/r22 = (4/1)

= > r1: r2 = 2: 1

9) Answer: C

The present age of Janvi and her husband = 5: 6 (5x, 6x)

The present age Janvi’s daughter = (1/5) * Janvi’s present age

Janvi’s daughter = Janvi’s son – 3

Janvi’s son after 7 years = 15 years

Janvi’s son’s present age = 8 years

Janvi’s daughter = 8 – 3 = 5 years

Janvi’s present age = 5 * 5 = 25 years

5’s = 25

1’s = 5

Present age of Janvi’s husband = 6x = 30 years

Required sum = 25 + 30 = 55 years

10) Answer: C

T = D/S

T = (200 + 300)/[(60 + 40) * (5/18)]

T = (500 * 18)/(100 * 5)

T = 18 sec
