d) 10
Answers :
1) Answer: b)
Let the average age of students = S years, and the age of principal = P years
According to the question,
(50×S + P) / 51 = 25
After excluding the principle’s age, the new average age of all students = S = 25 – 1 = 24
S = 24
(50×24 + P) / 51 = 25
1200 + P = 25 × 51
P = 1275 – 1200 = 75
2) Answer: a)
30 liters of mixture has milk and water in the ratio 7 : 3, i.e. the solution has 21 liters of milk and 9 liters of water.
When you add more water, the amount of milk in the mixture remains constant at 21 liters.
In the first case, before addition of further water, 21 liters of milk accounts for 70% by volume.
After water is added, the new mixture contains 50% milk and 50% water.
Therefore, the 21litres of milk accounts for 50% by volume. Hence, 100% volume = (21/0.5) = 42 liters.
We started with 30 liters and ended up with 42 liters. Therefore, 12 liters of water has to be added.
3) Answer: a)
We have assumed initial expenditure to be 100, in the above figure. Then the final expenditure is 120.
The percentage change in consumption can be seen to be (45* 100)/75 = 60%
4) Answer: c)
Here, (110 CP/100) = 2200 or CP = 2000
At a selling price of Rs.2250 the profit percent = 250 × 100/2000 = 12.5
5) Answer: a)
The labour price accounts for Rs.4000.
Since the profit percentage gives a 20% profit on this component, i.e. Rs.800.
Hence, the marked price is Rs.9800.
6) Answer: b)
Let the principal sum be Rs. x, then
x + 0.15x = 3540, or x = Rs.3000.
The compound interest on Rs.3000 at the rate of 10% per annum for 3 years would be given by:
Interest for the first year = 10% of 3000 = Rs.300
Interest for the second year = 10% of (3000 + 300) = 300 + 30 = Rs.330
Interest for the third year = 10% of (3300 + 330) = 330 + 33 = Rs.363
Thus, total interest = 300 + 330 + 363 = Rs.993
7) Answer: d)
Proportion of milk in 3 samples = 2/3, 3/5, 5/8
Proportion of water in 3 samples = 1/3, 2/5, 3/8.
Since equal quantities are taken, so
Total proportion of milk = 2/3 + 3/5 + 5/8 = 227/120
Total proportion of water = 1/3 + 2/5 + 3/8 = 133/120
Proportion of milk and water in the solution = 227: 133
8) Answer: b)
Let the total units of work be 80 (LCM of 10, 20, 40, and 80) units.
Efficiencies per day
A = 80/10 = 8,
B = 80/20 = 4,
C = 80/40 = 2,
D = 80/80 = 1,
According to the question, 20 units is done by A alone, 20 units is done by B, 20 units is done by C and 20 units is done by D. Hence, the required time = 20/8 + 20/4 + 20/2 + 20/1 = 37.5 hours.
9) Answer: c)
Time taken after meeting is 8 seconds and 18 seconds.
Hence time taken to meet would be the square root of (8 × 18) => 12
Hence, time taken by Akram = 12 + 8 = 20 sec.
Speed of Vakram = 180/20 = 9 m/sec
10) Answer: b)
Price of the article after first discount = 65 – 6.5 = Rs. 58.5
Therefore, the second discount = [(58.5 – 56.16)/ 58.5] * 100 = 4%
11) Answer: c)
12) Answer: c)
13) Answer: a)
14). Answer: c)
15) Answer: c)
3x – ky – 20 = 0
6x – 10y + 40 = 0
For no solution,
3/6 = k/10 ≠−20 / 40
K = 5
