Answers:

1). Answer e

The difference of difference is, 9, 18, 27, 36…

The answer is, 407

2). Answer a

The pattern is, ÷ 6, ÷ 5, ÷ 4, ÷ 3, ÷ 2,…

The answer is, 2.6

3). Answer c

The pattern is, -(13 +1), +(23 +1), -(33 +1), +(43+1), -(53 +1),….

The answer is, 1090

4). Answer b

The pattern is, ÷2 – 0.5

The answer is, 15.75

5). Answer d

The answer is, 312

6). Answer d

 (1/9) + (1/6) + 1 boy = (1/3)

1 boy = (1/3) – [(1/9) + (1/6)]

1 boy = (1/3) – (5/18) = (6 – 5)/18 = 1/18

The share of two men and a boy = (1/9): (1/6): (1/18)

= > 2: 3: 1

6’s = 2520

1’s = 420

The share of boy = Rs. 420

7). Answer a

 (3/7) of a number = (5/6) of another number

(3/7)*x = (5/6)*y

(x/y) = (7/3)*(5/6) = 35/18

X : y = 35 : 18

17’s = 68

1’s = 4

The numbers are = 35*4 and 18*4 = 140 and 72

8). Answer b

S.I = PNR/100

5040 = P*3*6/100

P = (5040*100)/18

P = Rs. 28000

9). Answer b

C. P1 = 35000, Loss = 8 %

S.P1 = 35000 * (92/100) = 32200

With that money she purchased another computer and sold it at the profit of 9%,

C.P2 = 32200

S.P2 = 32200*(109/100) = 35098

The overall profit = 35098 – 35000 = Rs. 98

10). Answer a

Amount = P (1 + r/100)n

35995.648 = 32000(1 + (4/100))n

35995.648/32000 = (104/100)n

35995648/32000000 = (26/25)n

8998912/8000000 = (25/26)n

(208/200)3 = (25/26)n

(26/25)3 = (25/26)n

n = 3 years

Direction (11-15)

11). Answer c

(28/9)*(17/8)*(6/153) + (95/54) = x

X = (7/27) + (95/54)

X = (14 + 95)/54 = 109/54 = 2 1/54

12). Answer a

(28/100)*3540 + (267/100)*4500 + (24/100)*5060 = x

X = 991.20 + 12015 + 1214.4

X = 14220.6

13). Answer d

[(25/3) * (27/175)] ÷ (33/14 – 29/28) = x

X = (9/7) ÷ (37/28)

X = (9/7)*(28/37) = 36/37

14). Answer b

(21/5)*2755 + 281 + (36/5)*8000 = x

X = 11571 + 281 + 57600

X = 69452

15). Answer a

(7868/14)*37 + 175 + 1089 = x

X = 20794 + 175 + 1089

X = 22058

Directions (Q. 16 – 20):

16). Answer e

In order to find the share of profit for Manita total profit is required which is not provided in the question. So the answer is can’t be determined.

17). Answer d

From I and II

Total cost of papering the walls

= 55*{2*8(6+5)- (2* 3/2*1 + 2*3/2)

= 55(16*11 -6)

= 55*170

= Rs 9350

From I and III

Total cost of papering

= 55{2*8(6+5)-(2*1.5+2*3)}

= 55(16*11-9) = Rs 9185

18). Answer e

From I

We can find the total marks in four subjects

From II and III

The third subject is not given so we can’t find the answer.

19). Answer a

From I

Rate = x*100/x*8= 12.5%

From II and III:

SI per annum = 1500

Difference between SI and CI for 2 yrs = 600

Rate of interest = 600/1500*100 = 40%

20). Answer a

Total surface area of the cone = (πrl + πr2) cm2

From I

πr2= 154 we can get r.

From II

πrl= 550

From I and II can get the answer.

From III

1/3πr2h= 1232

From I and III we can get h

So surface area can be determined

Directions (Q. 21 – 25):

21). Answer c

Quantity I:

The area of rectangular garden= 1715 Sq m

Length = (140/100)*breadth

l/b = 7/5 = > l : b = 7 : 5

7x*5x = 1715

35x2 = 1715

X2 = (1715/35) = 49

X = 7

Length = 49 m, Breadth = 35 m

Perimeter of the garden = 2*(l + b) = 2*(49 + 35) =2*84 = 168 m

Quantity II:

The area of a square park = 1936 Sq m

Area (a2) = 1936

Side (a) = 44

Perimeter of the park = 4a = 4*44 = 176 m

Quantity II > Quantity I

22). Answer a

Quantity I:

The present age of Mano = 42 years

Julee = Mano – 3 = 42 – 3 = 39 years

After 4 years, the age of Julee = 39 + 4 = 43 years

Quantity II:

16 years ago, the ratio of their ages = 2 : 1(2x, x)

According to the question,

X = 20

16 years hence, the age of Ravi and Banu = 40 and 20

Present age of Ravi and Banu = 24 and 4

After 8 years the age of Ravi = 32 years

Quantity I > Quantity II

23). Answer a

Quantity I:

S.I = P*n*r/100

S.I = (26000*2*13)/100 = Rs. 6760

Quantity II:

C.I:

26000*(12/100) = 3120

29120*(12/100) = 3494.4

C.I = 3120 + 3494.4 = Rs. 6614.4

Quantity I > Quantity II

24). Answer a

Quantity I:

Selling price of the article = 450*(90/100) = Rs. 405

Cost price of the article

= > CP*(120/100) = 405

= > CP = 405*(100/120)

= > CP = 337.50

Quantity II:

Selling price of the book = 250*(85/100) = Rs. 212.50

Cost price of the book = 212.50*(100/125) = Rs. 170

Quantity I > Quantity II

25). Answer c

Quantity I:

(x1/4 / 16)2 = (144 / x3/2 )  = (x1/2 / 256) = (144 / x3/2 )

(x1/2)  × (x3/2) = 256 × 144

x2 = (256 × 144)

x = √(256 × 144)

x = ± (16 × 12) = ±192

Quantity II:

y1/3 × y2/3 × 3104 = 16y2

y × 3104 = 16y2

3104 = 16y

Y = 3104 / 16 = 194

x < y

Quantity II > Quantity I
