B : 25000 y
Ratio of investment = Ratio of Profit shared
2) Answer: C
Average of 6 consecutive no.= 25 = Average of 3rd& 4th No.
If nos. are odd and they are in A.P.
Then middle term is the Average/mean ,which is 4th term.
3rd term = 25 – 1 = 24
4th term = 25 + 1 = 26
3) Answer: D
Average becomes equal to the Avg. 2 years before means it is reduced by 2 years. Hence there will be a decrease of 2 years from each person , 28 = 16
Age of the new teacher
= 42 – 16
= 26 yrs.
4) Answer: A

20 C.P. = 30 S.P.
SP/CP = 2/3
Hence loss % = 33.33%
6) Answer: A
C B A
100 → 118 → 141.6
C is % less than A = (1–100/141.6) × 100% = 29.3%
7) Answer: B
Let the price of sugar is x
New price of sugar is 1.3x
Quantity of sugar purchased ‘y’
New quantity (y – k)
(1.1) xy = (1.3x) (y – k)
(1.1) xy = x1.3 x (y –k)
(y – k)/y = 0.8461 × 100%
= 84.61%
Hence (100 – 84.61) = 15.38%
8) Answer: C
Speed becoming → 3/4 s
Hence time taken to travel will become 4/3 t
Time increase 1/3 t = 30
t = 90 min
Dist. = 1.5 × 80 = 120 km
New time to reach is 105 min 1¾ hr.
= (120 × 4)/7
= 480/7 = 684/7
OR
80 (t – 1/4 ) = 60 (t +1/4 )
By solving t = 7/4
Distance= 60 × 2 = 120
Speed = 120 × 4/7 = 480/7 = 68 4/7
