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

X=20

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

9x=36000=>x=4000
