1. Out of 11 persons, 10 persons spent Rs. 35 each for their meals. The 11th one spent Rs.

40
more than the average expenditure of all the nine. The total money spent by all of them was:
a) Rs. 492.50

b) Rs. 497.50

c) Rs. 429

d) Rs. 498.50

Answer: c

Explanation: Let the average expenditure be Rs. x Then,


11x = 10 ×35 + (x + 40) or 11x = x + 390 or 10 x = 390 or x = 39

Total money spent = 11x = Rs. (11 × 39) = Rs 429

2. Find the L.C.M. of 108/375, 1(17/25), 54/55 =


a) 678/5

b) 289/5

c) 151(1/5)

d) 238 (3/5)

Answer: c

Explanation: 108/375 = 36/125


1(17/25) = 42/25

Thus fractions are

36/125, 42/25 & 54/55

∴ Required L.C.M. = L.C.M. of 36, 42 & 54/H.C.F. of 125, 25, 55

=756/5 = 151(1/5)

3. The average age of husband, wife and their child 5 years ago was 26 years and that of wife
and the child 6 years ago was 24 years. The present age of the husband is:
a) 35 years

b) 33 years
c) 50 years

d) None of these

Answer: b

Explanation: Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = (26 x 3 + 5 x 3) years = 93
years.
Sum of the present ages of wife and child = (24 x 2 + 6 x 2) years = 60 years.

Husband's present age = (93 - 60) years = 33 years

4. Consider the following matrix:

b) 0

c) 7

d) 9

Answer: d

Explanation: In each column, let the number at the top be ‘a’ and the one at the bottom be ‘b’.

already half full and both the taps are opened together, the tank will be:
a) Filled in 9 minutes

b) Filled in 18 minutes

c) Emptied in 12 minutes

d) Emptied in 18 minutes

Answer: d)
Explanation: A pipe filled a tank in 36 minutes and another emptied in 18 minutes. Tank is
half full, time taken to fill the half tank = (1/36) – (1/18) = (-2/72) × (2/1) = -1/18, implies it
will empty it in 18 minutes.

6. The ages of Rahul and Sumit are in the ratio of 3: 7 respectively. After 5 years the ratio of
their ages will be 1: 2. What is the difference in their ages?

Difference in their ages = 7x – 3x = 4x = 20 years.

saving also increases by 12%, by how much percentage would his expenditure increases?
a) 22.45%

b) 34.34%

c) 25.12%

d) 26.85%

Answer: b)
Explanation: Let Mohan’s expenditure = 7x
Mohan’s savings = 3x

Therefore income = 10 x

New income = 10x +20% of 10x = 10x+2x= 12x.

New savings = 3x+ 12% of 3x = 3.12 x

New expenditure = 8.88 x.

Percentage increase in expenditure = (8.88x – 7x/7x) × 100 = (1.88/7) × 100 = 26.85%
