T | 11200 | 4480 | 6720 |
1). Answer a
The total number of male graduates from the given universities together
= > 9016 + 5600 + 4480 + 5670 + 4480
= > 29246
2). Answer d
Total number of female graduates from university Q and R
= > 4480 + 2240 = 6720
Total number of male graduates from university P and T
= > 9016 + 4480 = 13496
Required % = (6720/13496)*100 = 49.79 % = 50 %
3). Answer c
The total number of male graduates from university Q, R and T together
= > 5600 + 4480 + 4480 = 14560
The total number of female graduates from university P, R and S together
= > 3864 + 2240 + 9450 = 15554
Required ratio = 14560: 15554 = 7280: 7777
4). Answer b
Required % = {[(23+ 18) – (12 + 27)]/(12 + 27)}*100
= > {(41 – 39)/39}*100 = 5.128 % = 5 % more
5). Answer d
University S has highest number of female graduates.
6). Answer b
Required average = ((40*25) + (30*20))/70=1600/70=23 years
7). Answer b
Let us take speed of current and speed of boat be x and y
Given,
Upstream speed = 40/5=8 km/hr
Downstream speed = 40/2.5=16 km/hr
Speed of boat = (16+8)/2=12 km/hr
Speed of current = (16-8)/2=4 km/hr
8). Answer: c
No of days taken by B = 25 days
No of days taken by C = 20/1*2 = 40 days
=>1/20+1/40-1/25
=>(15-8)/200=200/7 = 28 4/7 days
9). Answer: a
Milk and water ratio = 4:1
Given,
(4x-16)/(x-4+20) =12/13
52x-208=12x+192
=>40x=400=>x=10
10). Answer: b
Shamili and Kamal’s profit ratio = (4000×12):((4000+x)×12)=2400:3600
=>4000/(4000+x)=2/3
=>x=2000
Profit ratio = (4000×12):(6000×12):(8000×8)
=>6:9:8
Total profit = 2400/6×23=Rs.9200
Direction (11-15)
11). Answer c
The expenditure of Company A in the year 2012 = 32 lakhs
The income of Company B in the year 2014 = 13 + 32 = 45 lakhs
The income of company A in 2012
= > 16 = [(I – 32)/32]*100
= > 512 + 3200 = 100I
= > I = 3712/100 = 37.12 lakhs
The expenditure of Company B in the year 2014
= > 20 = [45 – e)/e]*100
= > 20e = 4500 – 100e
= > 120e = 4500
= > e = (4500/120) = 37.5 lakhs
Required % = (37.12/37.5)*100 = 98.98 % = 100 %
12). Answer b
The income of company A in the year 2013 = 44.25 lakhs
The expenditure of company A in the year 2013
= > 18 = [(44.25 – e)/e]*100
= > 118e = 4425
= > e = (4425/118) = 37.5 lakhs
The expenditure of company A in the year 2013 = The expenditure of company B in the year 2015
The expenditure of company B in the year 2015 = 37.5 lakhs
The income of company B in the year 2015
= > 36 = [(I – 37.5)/37.5]*100
= > 1350 = 100I – 3750
5100 = 100I
I = 51 lakhs
13). Answer a
Let the income of company A and B in the year 2014 be x,
The expenditure of company A in the year 2014
= > 25 = [(x – E1)/E1]*100
= > 125E1 = 100x
= > E1 = (100x/125) = (4x/5)
The expenditure of company B in the year 2014
= > 20 = [(I – E2)/E2]*100
= > 120E2 = 100x
= > E2 = (100x/120) = (5x/6)
Required ratio
= > (4x/5): (5x/6)
= > 24: 25
14). Answer d
The income of company B in the year 2016 = 37.8 lakhs
The expenditure of company B in the year 2016
= > 26 = [(37.8 – e)/e]*100
= > 126e = 3780
= > e = (3780/126) = 30 lakhs
The expenditure of company A in the year 2015 = 27 lakhs
The income of company A in the year 2015
= > 28 = [(I – 27)/27]*100
= > 756 = 100I – 2700
= > 3456 = 100I
= > I = 34.56 lakhs
Required % = [(34.56- 30)/34.56]*100 = 13.19 % = 13 % less
15). Answer c
The expenditure of company A in the year 2015 = 27 lakhs
The income of company A in the year 2015
= > 28 = [(I – 27)/27]*100
= > 756 = 100I – 2700
= > 3456 = 100I
= > I = 34.56 lakhs
The expenditure of company B in the year 2015 = 33 lakhs
The income of company B in the year 2015
= > 36 = [(I – 33)/33]*100
= > 1188 = 100I – 3300
= > I = (4488/100) = 44.88 lakhs
Required difference = 44.88 – 34.56 = 10.32 lakhs
16). Answer: d
Given,
1/x+1/(x+10)+1/10=11/60
(2x+10)/(x2+10x)=5/60
X2-14x-120=0

Required ratio = 1/20:1/30=3:2
17). Answer: c
Given,
Total no. of probability = 9+x
Required probability = 5/(9+x)=1/3
=>9+x=15=>x=6
18). Answer: c
Let us take CP be Rs.100
SP= 110 =80% of marked price
MP = 110/80*100=137.5
Required percentage = 37.5/100*100=37.5%
19). Answer: c
Given,
44/100*x-735=x*20/100+(x-2500)*15/100
