Answers :
1) Answer: D
Speed α 1/Time
Time α 1/Speed
Let the speed of Aman, Kamal and Manan is sa, sk, sm& time be ta,tk, tm
Henc,e
If Sa :Sk : Sm = 4 : 5 : 6
Then, ta :tk : tm = 1/4 : 1/5 : 1/6
Multiplying by 60.
= 15 : 12 : 10
2) Answer: B
If 2 is subtracted from each result then average will also decreased by 2. Hence new average will be = 18 – 2 = 16 yrs
3) Answer: B
Total = 140 × 90
= 12600
If 90 students failed then 50 student passed & total marks obtained by them.
= 50 × 120
= 6000
Total marks obtained by failed student = 12600 – 6000
Average of failed student = 6600/90 = 73.33
4) Answer: B
5) Answer: D
pen/Pencil =3/2 (∵cost of pencil is 33.33% less than pen)
Assume the cost of pen i.e 3R
Cost pencil is 2.
CP = 4 × 2 = 8
SP = 5 × 3 = 15
% profit = (15 – 8)/8 × 100%
= 7/8 × 100 = 87.5%
6) Answer: B
Let the radius of the circle= r
50% increase the new radius be 3/2 r
Original area A = πr²
New area A = 9/4 πr²
% increase in Area = (9/4-1) πr²/πr² × 100
= 5/4 × 100 = 125%
7) Answer: C
Hence,
horiginal = 20
hnew= 27
roriginal = 10
rnew = 11
(CSA) original = 2πrh
= 2π ×20 ×10
= 400π
(CSA)new = 2π ×27 × 11
= 594π
% increase in (CSA) = 194/400 × 100
= 48.5%
8) Answer: C
Let the upstream volume = 1/u
Downstream volume = 1/v
2u + 3v = 20 …(i)×2
7u + 2v = 53 ….(ii)×3
u = 7
v = 2
9) Answer: D
Train : Car = 5:4
Let us suppose that the speed of train and car is 5x and 4x.
10) Answer: C
If the amount has been let half yearly then effective rate for one year would be
