A B C D E

1) What is the average number of students (Doctors and Lawyers) passed out from all
the colleges together?
a) 36000 b) 42000 c) 50000 d) 38000 e) 65000

Solution:
A = 25000 + 22500 = 47500
B = 17500 + 20000 = 37500
C = 27500 + 35000 = 62500
D = 15000 + 30000 = 45000
E = 10000 + 7500 = 17500
Then, Average number of Students = 42000

2) The number of Doctors passing out from Colleges A and B together is approximately
what percent of the number of Lawyers passing out from Colleges D and C together?
a) 65% b) 50% c) 40% d) 30% e) 75%

Solution:
Passed out Doctors from College A and B = 25000 + 17500 = 42500
Passed out Lawyers from College E and C = 30000 + 35000 = 65000
Required percentage = (42500/65000)*100 = 65%

number of Lawyers from all the colleges?
a) 19:23 b) 23:15 c) 23:18 d) 15:29 e) 13:19

Solution:
The total number of Doctors from all colleges
= > 25000 + 17500 + 27500 + 15000 + 10000 = 95000
The total number of Lawyers from all colleges
= > 22500 + 20000 + 35000 + 30000 + 7500 = 115000
Required ratio = 19 : 23

5) The number of Doctors passed out from college C is approximately what percentage
of the total number of Doctors passed out from all the colleges together?
a) 50% b) 20% c) 15% d) 40% e) 30%

Solution:
The total number of Doctors from all colleges
= > 25000 + 17500 + 27500 + 15000 + 10000 = 95000
The number of Doctors passed out from college C = 27500
Required percentage = (27500/95000)*100 = 28.9 % = 30 %

Q-3:
Direction (Q. 11 – 15): Study the following information carefully and answer the
questions given below:

11) Find the difference between the rate of interest of A and that of D?
a) 10.5% b) 7% c) 14% d) 21% e) None of these

Solution:
Let rate percent of A = r1%
And rate percent of D = r2%
Interest of A = 154440 – 78000 = Rs.76440
(78000*r1*7)/100 = 76440
=>r1 = 7644000/(78000*7)
=> r1 = 14%
And
Interest of D = 86100 – 42000 = 44100
(42000*r2*15)/100 = 44100
=> r2 = 4410000/(42000*15)
=> r2 = 7%
Required difference = 14% - 7% = 7%

12) If the amount invested by C is Rs.110000 and the time period for which C invested
is what percent of time period for which F invested?
a) 71.42% b) 41.72% c) 72.14% d) 42.71% e) None of these

Solution:
Let the time for which C invested = t1 years
And the time period for which F invested = t2 years
Interest of C = 176000 – 110000 = Rs.66000
Interest of F = 85000 – 50000 = Rs.35000
(110000*12*t1)/100 = 66000
=> t1 = 6600000/(110000*12)

=> t1 = 5 years
And
(50000*10*t2)/100 = 35000
=> t2 = 3500000/(50000*10)
=> t2 = 7 years
Required percentage = (5/7)*100 = 71.42%

13) Find the sum of the amounts of all the persons?

a) Rs. 931030 b) Rs. 913300 c) Rs. 931300 d) Rs. 921300
e) None of these

Solution:
Amount of B = (56000*8*12)/100 + 56000
= > 53760 + 56000 = Rs.109760
Required sum
= > 154440 + 109760 + 176000 + 86100 + 320000 + 85000 = Rs. 931300

14) Amount invested by E is what percent more than the amount invested by F?
a) 45% b) 50% c) 55% d) 60% e) None of these

Solution:
Let the amount invested by E = Rs. y,
(y*15*20)/100 + y = 320000
=> 300y + 100y = 32000000
=> 400 y = 32000000
=> y = 80000
Required percentage = [(80000 – 50000)/50000]*100 = 60%

15) If C invested for 10 years, find the respective ratio of amount invested by C and
that of A?
a) 49:50 b) 39:40 c) 50:49 d) 40:39 e) None of these

Solution:
Let the amount invested by C = Rs. y,
(y*12*10)/100 + y = 176000
=> 120y + 100y = 17600000
=> 220 y = 17600000
=> y = 17600000/220
=> y = Rs. 80000
Required ratio = 80000:78000 = 40 : 39

The Table below shows speeds of the stream on different days of the week:
Days Speed of
stream
Monday 3 km/hr
Tuesday
Wednesday 2 km/hr
Thursday 3 km/ hr
Friday

21) If the speed of the boat on Monday was 15 km/hr then find the difference
between the time taken to travel Upstream and Downstream on Monday?
a) 1.5 hrs b) 2 hrs c) 3.5 hrs d) 1.2hrs e) 2.5 hrs

Solution:
Speed Upstream on Monday = 15 - 3 = 12 km/hr
Time taken to travel upstream = (15/100)*(200/12) = 2.5 hours
Speed Downstream on Monday = 15 + 3 = 18 km/hr
Time taken to travel downstream = (25/100)*(360/18) = 5 hours
Required Difference = 5 - 2.5 = 2.5 hours

22) If the boat took 6 hours to cover the upstream distance on Wednesday then find
the time which the boat took to cover the downstream distance on Wednesday?
a) 2(4/7) hours b) 5(5/8) hours c) 4 hours d) 5(1/7) hours e) None of these

Solution:
Let the speed of the boat on Wednesday be x km/hr,
Now,
Upstream speed = x - 2
6 = 60/(x - 2)
6x-12 = 60
x = 12 km/hr
So, Time taken to travel downstream on Wednesday
= > 72/(12+2) = 36/7 = 5(1/7) hours

23) If the speed of the boat on Friday is 13 km/ hr and the speed of the current on
Friday is same as on Monday then what is the ratio between the time taken to cover
upstream distance and the downstream distance on Friday?
a) 17:14 b) 12:17 c) 16:27 d) 15:29 e) 4:5

Solution:
Time taken to cover upstream distance on Friday = 20/(13 - 3) = 2 hours

Time taken to cover downstream distance on Friday

= > 54/(13 + 3) = 54/16 = 27/8 hours
Required Ratio = 16 : 27

24) If the ratio between the upstream speed and downstream speed on Thursday is 2:
3 then find the difference between the time taken to cover distance upstream and
downstream?
a) 2/9 hours b) 5/6 hours c) 6/13 hours d) 5 hours e) None of these

Solution:
Let the speed of the boat on Thursday be x km/hr,
Upstream speed = x - 3
Downstream speed = x + 3
(x - 3)/(x + 3) = 2/3
3x – 9 = 2x + 6
x = 15 km/hr
Time taken to cover distance upstream = 50/12
Time taken to cover distance downstream = 90/18= 5
Required difference = 5 – (50/12) = (30-25)/6 = 5/6 hrs

25) The speed of the boat on Tuesday is 12 km/hr and the speed of the stream on
Tuesday is 50% more than the speed of the stream on Wednesday then find the time
taken to travel the upstream distance on Tuesday?
a) 51/10 hours b) 53/8 hours c) 25/13 hours d) 25/14 hours e) 40/9 hours

Solution:
Upstream speed on Tuesday = 12 - (2*(150/100)) = 9 km/hr
Time taken to cover the distance = 40/9 hours
