66. Ans. E. The marked price of the product is Rs.
The given series is an alternate series: 637.50
84 – 1 = 83 selling price of that product after 20%
83 – 1 = 82 discount = 0.8 * 637.50 = Rs. 510
82 – 1 = 81 profit earned = 27.5%
And cost price of article = (510 / 127.5) * 100

68. Ans. B. the marked price of product = x + 250
pattern of the series is: ATQ-
3 - 2 = 13
11 - 3 = 23 77. Ans. C.
38 - 11 = 33 Since, both the train starts from same
102 - 38 = 43 point and going in exact opposite
direction. So, the relative speed of train
= (18 + 12) = 30 m/s
the time taken by which both train
separated by 367.2 km = 367200 / 30 =
12240 sec
i.e. 3.4 hours

78. Ans. B.
Let the present age of B and C be 12X and
5X respectively.
A = 2C .........(Given)
A = 10X
According to the question:
A = B - 6 ....... (Given)
10X = 12X - 6
X=3
B's present age:
B = 12X = 12 × 3 = 36 years

79. Ans. B.
let radius of circle A be r1
let radius of circle B be r2
ATQ -
=> 2πr1 - 2πr2 = 132 - 110
=> 2π(r1 - r2) = 22
=> 2 * 22 / 7 * (r1 - r2) = 22
=> (r1 - r2) = 7 / 2 = 3.5 cm

80. Ans. B.
Inlets A and B can fill empty tank together
in = 1 / (1 / 36 + 1 / 60)
= 45 / 2 hours
Time required to fill 1/6th of the tank =

Five buses: P, Q, R, S and T.
1) R has less capacity than only Q. (Hence, Q has higher capacity) Q > R
2) P has higher capacity than S and T. P > S and T.
3) S carries more passengers than T. (Hence, S has higher capacity than T) S > T
Combining all, we get: Q > R> P > S > T
According to the question, if R carries 62 Passengers then,
Clearly, Capacity of Q is higher than R and hence, the capacity of bus Q is 71.

27. Ans. D.
Five buses: P, Q, R, S and T.
1) R has less capacity than only Q.
(Hence, Q has higher capacity) Q > R
2) P has higher capacity than S and T. P > S and T
3) S carries more passengers than T.
(Hence, S has higher capacity than T) S > T
Combining all, we get: Q > R > P > S >T
Clearly, bus T has the least capacity.

28. Ans. B.
Five buses: P, Q, R, S and T.
1) R has less capacity than only Q.
(Hence, Q has higher capacity) Q > R
2) P has higher capacity than S and T. P > S and T
3) S carries more passengers than T.
(Hence, S has higher capacity than T) S > T
Combining all, we get: Q > R > P > S > T
According to the question, If P carries 25 passengers and T carries 9 passengers then,
Q > R > P (25) > S > T (9)
Clearly, the capacity of bus S is 18, which is divisible by 3 and not divisible by 5.

average number of students (M+F) who are fresher in college A & C together =
(144+160)/2= 152
average number of students (M+F) who have work experience in college B & D =
(84+162)/2 = 123
required difference= 152- 123 = 29

54. Ans. A.
Number of students (M+F) who are fresher in college A = 240 - 96= 144
total number of students (M+F) who have work experience in B & C together =
160+84 = 244
Required ratio = 144 : 244 = 36 : 61

55. Ans. E.
number of female work experience in college A = 96-48= 48
number of female (fresher) in college A =144-70= 74
so, total number of female (work experience + fresher) in college A =
74+48= 122

56. Ans. A.
number of male fresher in D is (360-162)- 98 = 100
so, number of female with work experience = 40% of 100 = 40
so, number of male with work experience = 162 - 40= 122

57. Ans. B.
10% of number of female employee from A= 10% of 120= 12
20% of number of male employee from A = 20% of (300-120)= 36
sum of number of M & F who are not selected for project= 300 - (12+36)= 252

58. Ans. A.
number of male employees in C = 340 - 140 = 200
total number of female in C & D together = 140+230 = 370
required ratio = 200 : 370 = 20 : 37

59. Ans. C.
Total male in B & C together = (320- 160)+(340-140)=360
number of female in A = 120
required %= = 200%

60. Ans. A.
30% of male in A are PG= 30% of (300- 120)= 54
40% of male in E are PG = 40% of (380- 240)= 56
total number of PG male in A & E together = 54+56= 110

61. Ans. A.
According to the the question:
A:B=4:5
A:C=8:9
So,
A : B : C = 8 : 10 : 9
Let the present ages of A, B and C be 8X, 10X and 9X respectively.
The difference between the age of A and C is 5 years.
9X - 8X = 5
X=5
Then the sum of the ages of A, B and C
after 11 years.
(A + 11) + (B + 11) + (C + 11)
(8 × 5 + 11) + (10 × 5 + 11) + (9 × 5 +
11)
51 + 61 + 56 = 168

62. Ans. A.
Let,
Vill. A: Male: Female = 2x:1x
Vill. B: Male = 3*Female in Vill. A = 3*2
= 6x
Acc. to question,
2x+1x+6x+78 = 978
or, x = 100
So, Number of female in village A = 1x = 100

63. Ans. C.
2πr = 4a where, r = radius of circle & a = side of square or, πr = 2a
Given, area of the circle = 154 cm2,
πr2 = 154
or, r =7 cm
Now, πr = 2a
or, 22*7/7 = 2a
or, a = 11 cm
So, area of the square= a2= 112 =121 cm2

64. Ans. C.
Let MP of article = 100x
1st case: 10% discount on the MP So, SP = 100x-10x = 90x
2nd case: 20% discount on the MP So, SP = 100x-20x = 80x
CP in both cases will be same.
So, 90x-400 = 80x – 330 or, x = 7
So, MP of article = 100x = 700

65. Ans. A.
Given,
Let, Total capacity of tank = (2+1)*8 = 24 units

(20+20+20*20/100)% = Rs.13200

68. Ans. E.
Total mixture = 48 lit.
M:W =3:1
So, Milk = 36 lit.
Water = 12 lit.
10 litre mixture is taken out & 20 litre pure water is added
Now, Milk = 36-7.5 = 28.5
& Water = 12-2.5+20=29.5
Required difference = 29.5-28.5 = 1 lit.

69. Ans. B.
Let 4 years ago, the ages of A and B be 5a years and 4a years, then Present age of A = (5a + 4) years
Present age of B = (4a + 4) years After x years, their average age will be (x
+ 22) years, then
[(5a + 4) + x] + [(4a + 4) + x] = (x + 22) × 2
⇒ 9a + 8 = 44
⇒ 9a = 44 – 8 =36
⇒ a = 36/9 = 4
Hence, 2 years ago the age of A was = (5a + 4) – 2 = 5a + 2 = 5 × 4 + 2 = 22 years

70. Ans. B.
Let Total mixture = 4x
water is 25%. So,Milk: Water = 3x:x
He sells 20 litres of the mixture. So, Milk = 15 lit. & water = 5 lit.
Now,
So, Quantity of milk in the original mixture = 3x = 3*50 = 150 lit.

71. Ans. D.
72. Ans. A.

From statement I: SP =Selling Price MP = Marked
Price CP = Cost price SP = 90% MP SP = 9MP/10
From statement II: When no discount is given, SP
= MP Profit = SP – CP 35 = (SP – CP) *100/CP
35CP = 100SP – 100CP 135CP = 100SP CP =
100SP/135 CP = 100MP/135 From both I and II:
Profit% = (9MP/10 – 100MP/135)*100 /
(100MP/135) % = (9/10 – 100/135) * 135 %
Hence, both the statements are required to answer
this question
80. Ans. D.
From I. There are 11 students in the class. From II.
The average age of students and class teacher is 14
years. From III. The average age of class teacher is
3 years more than that of students. Now,
combining all there statements, we have Average
age of (students + teacher) = 14 × 12 = 168 years
Average age of 11 students = 14 – 3 = 11 years
Total age of 11 students = 11 × 11 = 121 years
Teacher’s age = 168 – 121 = 47 years. This
requires all statements to complete the
calculations.

22. Ans. D.
Total number of students who appeared for Physics 32. Ans. A.
from 2013 to 2015 = (350 + 600 + 350) = 1300 Let present age of Anita= 'x’ years
Total number of students, who appeared for And present age of Bablu= ‘y’ years
Chemistry from 2011 to 2013 = (800 + 630 + 550) Now,
= 1980 ……………….(i)
Required ratio = 1300 : 1980 = 65:99 And,
……………(ii)
23. Ans. B. Now, from eqn. (i) & (ii)
Students who did not pass in Physics in the year Bablu present age, Y=10 years
2011 = 70/100 * 650 = 455
Students who did not pass in Physics in the year 33. Ans. B.
2015 = 30/100 * 350 = 105 Let 100 (CP) 80 (SP) 110 (SP)
Average = (455 + 105)/2 = 280 Diff. 30
30 units → 24
24. Ans. D. 1 unit →
Total number of students, who passed in Chemistry 100 units → = Rs. 80
in 2011 = 50/100 * 800 = 400 CP = Rs. 80
Total number of students who did not pass in
Physics in 2015 = 30/100 * 350 = 105 34. Ans. A.
Difference = 400 – 105 = 295 A started a business with investing Rs. 8000
and after some months, B joined with
25. Ans. B. investing Rs. 5000.
Total number of students who did not pass Physics Equivalent capital of A
in 2013 = 50/100 * 350 = 175 = Rs. 8000 × 12
Total number of students who did not pass = Rs. 96000
Chemistry in 2013 = 80/100 * 550 = 440 Let B joined after x months.
Percentage = 175/440 * 100 = 39.77% = 40% So, equivalent capital of B
= Rs. 5000 × (12 – x)
26. Ans. A. = Rs. 60000 – 5000x
Take nearest values Total profit after one year = Rs. 4250
21.003 × 39.998 – 209.91 = 126 × ? Share of A = Rs. 3000. Then, the share of B =
630 = 126 × ? Rs. 4250 – 3000 = Rs. 1250
? = 5 (approx) So, the ratio of their share;
A : B = 3000 : 1250 = 12 : 5
27. Ans. C. Now, we can write,
= (677.74 – 508.32) ÷ 63 = 169.42/63 = 96000/(60000 – 5000x) = 12/5
2.689 = 3 (Approx) ⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 96000 × (5/12)
Hence option C is correct
⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 8000 × 5
28. Ans. D. ⇒ 5000x = 60000 – 40000
? = 2418.065 + 6.197 × 6
⇒ x = 20000/5000 ⇒ x = 4
? = 2418.065 + 37.18
? = 2455.25 ∴ After 4 months, B joined in the business.
? = 2455 (Approx.)
35. Ans. D.
29. Ans. E. Let the length of train P and Q are 5a and 4a.
1200 ÷ 15 x 20 + 400 = 80 x 20 + 400 speed of train P = 5a/6
= 1600 + 400 = 2000 (Approx) therefore,
Hence option E is correct (5a/6 + 21)*4 = 5a/3 + 4a
-5a/3 + 4a = 84
30. Ans. E. a = 36
= 110.352 × 82.304 speed of train P = 36*5/6 = 30m/s
= 9082.41
9082 (approx) 36. Ans. D.
Total no of balls = 8 + 7 + 6 = 21
Let, E be the event where the ball can be selected (9/4)] km/hr.
which is neither yellow nor black Number of events = 1/2 × 9 km/hr.
where the ball can be selected which is neither = 9/2 km/hr.
yellow nor black = 7 = 4.5 km/hr.
P(E) = 7/ 21 = 1/3
40. Ans. C.
37. Ans. D. Curved Surface Area of Cylinder = 2πrh
Ratio of days of B and C = 2:1 Total Surface Area of Cylinder = 2πr (h+r)
From equation 1) A =90 days, and C = 90 According to question, 2πrh : 2πr (h+r) =
days 3:5
One day work of A, B and C= i.e. h/ (h+r) = 3/5
Days = 36 days. i.e., 2h = 3r – (a)
Also, Curved surface area of the cylinder =
38. Ans. B. 1848 metre square
First and second varieties of pulses are mixed i.e. 2πrh = 1848
in equal proportions From (a), 2π (2/3h) * h = 1848
∴Their average price = INR (32+45)/2 = INR On solving the above equation, h = 21m
38.5/kg
Let the price of third variety pulse be INR x/kg
The mixture is formed by mixing two varieties
becomes one at INR 38.5/kg
By the rule of allegation:
∴
⇒ x – 88 = 49.50
⇒ x = 137.50
Hence, the price of the third variety per kg
will be INR 137.50/kg

39. Ans. D.
The time required to travel a certain distance
upstream is five times than that of downstream for
the same distance.
Let the speed of the boat in upstream be x km/hr.
and in downstream be 5x km/hr.
We know that if the speed of the downstream is x
km/hr and the speed of the upstream is y
km/hr, then the speed in still water = 1/2 × (x + y)
km/hr.
So, the speed of the boat in still water
= 1/2 × (x + 5x) km/hr.
= 1/2 × 6x km/hr.
= 3x km/hr.
Given, the speed of a boat in still water is (27/4)
km/hr.
So, we can write now,
3x = 27/4
⇒ x = 9/4
So, the speed of the boat in upstream = 9/4
km/hr.
And the speed of the boat in downstream = 5 ×
(9/4) km/hr. = 45/4 km/hr.
Again, we know that if the speed of the
downstream is x km/hr and the speed of the
upstream is y km/hr, then the speed of the stream
= 1/2 × (x – y) km/hr.
∴ The speed of the stream = 1/2 × [(45/4) –
