Answers :
1) Answer: B
Let’s assume
D = 1 then,
C = d + 3 = 4
b – c= 2 a -b = 1
b = 6Â Â Â Â a = 7
(a+d)/c = (7+1)/4 = 2/1
2) Answer: C
(R+P)/2 = 39                …(i)
(P+G)/2 = 28                …(ii)
(R+G)/2 = 34                …(iii)
On adding the equation (i), (ii) & (iii)
R + P + G = 101             ….(iv)
From (i) R + P = 78           …(v)
From (iv) & (i)
G = 23 years
After 10 years G = 23 + 10 yrs
= 33 yrs
3) Answer: B
Sum of the age of the family = 6 × 25 = 150 years
The sum of age of the family at the time of the birth of the youngest member
= 150 – 90
= 60
Average (age) =60/5 =12 years
4) Answer: C
If profit is 230% then SP will be 330% of the CP
Let the CP be = 100 Rs
If CP will increasing 50% then new CP will be,
(CP)new = 150 Rs
SP = 330
Profit = (330-150)/150 × 100 = 18000/150% = 120%
5) Answer: B
∵ 12.5% = 1/8  ∴20% = 1/5
∵ 12.5% of gain ⇒ hence if CP = 8x then SP = 9x
Similarly for 20% = If CP = 5y then SP = 4y
For Article 1:
If 8x → 4000
9x → 4500
Profit of 500 Rs
For Article 2:
If 5x → 4000
4x → 3200
Loss of 800 Rs
New profit/loss = 300 Rs loss
Loss% =300/8000 × 100
= 3.75%
6) Answer: D
If y → 300
Then x = 300 × 1.3
x = Rs 390
If z = 390/(.75)
z = 520
7) Answer: B
Then 100% ⇒ 100 × 500 = Rs 50000
8) Answer: C
36 kmph=36/18 × 5 = 10 ms(-1)
54 kmph=54 × 5/18 = 15 ms(-1)
Relative speed if they are travelling in opposite direction
= (10 + 15) ms-1
= 25 ms-1
Distance travelled in 10 sec = 25 × 1
= 25 seconds
9) Answer: D
Let the usual time be ‘t’hrs and usual speed be ‘x’ km/h
ATQ,
126 = xt         …..(i)
And     126 = (x-6)×(t +3/60)
126 = (x-6) ×(126/x+ 1/20)      …..(ii)
Solving eqn (i) and eqn (ii), we get
x = 126 km/h
10) Answer: D
Hence, 6 × 4 yrs = 24 yrs
