1. Sol: (b) Then the length of the train is,
If we assume no. of student=100 ∴ 𝐿 = 25 × 36 = 900 𝑚 . . . . . (1)
Number of boys=60 𝑘𝑚 5
Speed of the second train = 45 ℎ𝑟 = 45 × (18) =

scholarship. Length of the second train is 100 m shorter than the
So, 20% of 60 =12 first train.
And 25% of 40 =10 So, length of the second train is = 900 – 100 = 800m
So, total number of students who are scholarship Time taken to cover the tunnel by second train =

If the difference of time is 2 days, B takes 3 days. (A + C)'s 1 day work = . . . (𝑖𝑖𝑖)

A's 1 day's work = 1
20
1 2(𝐴 + 𝐵 + 𝐶) = 5
B's 1 day's work = 60 1
1 1 4 1 𝐴 + 𝐵 + 𝐶 = 10
(A + B)'s 1 day's work = (20 + 60) = 60 = 15 1
Hence, (A+B+C)’s 1 day work = 10
Therefore, A and B together can do the work in
15 days So, it will take 10 days for them to do the work

 X =12Km  9100 = 130X
 Total distance =12+12 =24Km.  x = 9100/130
3. Sol: (a) Hence, X = 70.
Distance (Train Length) = 110m 9. Sol: (c)
Since Train and man are moving in opposite 445 = 5 × 89
direction, 356 = 2 × 2 × 89
Relative Speed =Speed of train +Man’s Speed HCF = 89

4. Sol: (d) Therefore, Profit of First TV =SP – CP
240 chocolates =240/12 =20 dozens = 3000 – 2609 = Rs.391
1 dozen = Rs.9 => 20 dozens = Rs.180 Loss % on Second TV = 10%
Cost price =Rs.180 100
Thus, CP of Second TV = ( ∗ 391) = 𝑅𝑠. 3910
Selling price =240 * 1 =Rs.240 10

 X = 168 12. Sol: (b)
6. Sol: (a) SP of one Tablet = Rs.12000
Total age of 4 members, 10 years ago = (24 x 4) years SP of Smartphone = Rs.12000
= 96 years. 12000 × 100
Cost price of Smartphone =( ) = 16000
Total age of 4 members now = [96 + (10 x 4)] years 75
12000×100
= 136 years. Cost price of Tablet = ( 120 ) = 10000
Tota l age of 6 members now = (24 x 6) years Total Cost price =16000 + 10000 = 26000
= 144 years. Loss = 26000 – 24000 = 2000
Sum of the ages of 2 children = (144 - 136) years 2000
Loss % =( ) × 100 ≈ 7.7%
= 8 years. 26000
Let the age of the younger child be X years. 13. Sol: (b)
Then, age of the elder child = (X+2) years. 77/100 = 77%
So, Age of younger child = 3 years. 96/150 = 64%
7. Sol: (b) 103/350≈ 30%
