Question 21

A group of three friends, K, L and M, are sitting in a cafe. Their average age is 24 years. Another friend ‘N’ joins the group and the new
average age of the group becomes 23 years. If another friend ‘R’, whose age is 2 years more than that of ‘N’, replaces ‘K’, then the
average age of L. M, N and R becomes 22.5 years. What is the age of K?

A 15 years

B 10 years

C 12 years

D 14 years

Answer: D

Explanation:
Average of K, L and M = 24
Sum of the age of K, L and M = 24 × 3 = 72
Average of K, L, M and N = 23
Sum of the age of K, L, M and N = 23 × 4 = 92
Age of N = 92 - 72 = 10
Age of R = 2 + Age of N = 2 +10 = 12
Average age of L, M, N and R = 22.5 years
Sum of age of L, M, N and R = 22.5 × 4 = 90
Sum of age of L, M and N = 90 - 12 = 78
Age of K = sum of the age of K, L, M and N - sum of age of L, M and N = 92 - 78 = 14

Question 64

In a school, 4 % of the students did not appear for the annual exams. 10% of the students who appeared for the exams could not pass
the exam. Out of the remaining students, 50% got distinction marks and 432 students passed the exam but could not get distinction
marks. The total number of students in the school is:

A 1000

B 1200

C 960

D 878

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the total students in the school be 100%.

Appeared student in the exam = 100 - 4 = 96%

10
Number of student which are not pass in the exam = 96% × 100 = 9.6%
Number of student which are pass in the exam = 96 - 9.6 = 86.4%

Number of student which are not get distinction marks in the exam = 432

50% of the remaining students = 432

50
86.4% × 100 = 432

43.2% = 432
432
Total students(100%) = 43.2 × 100 = 1000

Question 67

If (cos2 θ − 1)(1 + tan2 θ) + 2 tan2 θ = 1, 0∘ < θ < 90∘ then θ is:

A 30∘

B 90∘

C 60∘

D 45∘
Answer: D

Explanation:
(cos2 θ − 1)(1 + tan2 θ) + 2 tan2 θ = 1
(− sin2 θ)(sec2 θ) + 2 tan2 θ = 1
− sin2 θ
cos2 θ + 2 tan2 θ = 1
− tan2 θ + 2 tan2 θ = 1
tan2 θ = 1
For 0^\circ < \theta < 90^\circ $$,

θ = 45°

Question 70

Two cyclists X and Y start at the same time from place A and go towards place B at a speed of 6 km/h and 8 km/h,respectively.
Despite stopping for 15 minutes during the journey, Y reaches 10 minutes earlier than X. The distance between the places A and B is:

A 6 km

B 16.5 km

C 8 km

D 10km

Answer: D

Explanation:
Time = distance/speed

Time taken by x to reach destination = Time taken by y to reach destination + 10 min

Let the Distance be d.

d d 15 10
6 =8 + 60 + 60
d d 1 1
6 =8+4+6
d 3d+6+4
6 = 24
3d+10
d= 4
4d = 3d + 10
d = 10 km

∴ The distance between the places A and B is 10 km.

Question 72

The coefficient of x in (x − 3y)3 is :

A 3y2

B 27y2

C −27y2

D −3y2
Answer: B

Explanation:
(x − 3y)3 = x3 − (3y)3 − 3x.3y(x − 3y)
((a − b)3 = a 3 − b3 − 3ab(a − b))
= x3 − 27y3 − 9xy(x − 3y)
= x3 − 27y3 − 9x2 y − 27xy2
The coefficient of x = 27 y2

Question 74

In wallet, there are notes of the denominations ₹10 and ₹50. The total number of notes is 12. The number of ₹10 and 50 notes are in
the ratio of 1 : 2. Total money in the wallet is:

A ₹ 360

B ₹ 280

C ₹ 110

D ₹ 440

Answer: D

Explanation:
The ratio of the number of ₹10 and ₹50 notes = 1 : 2

The total number of notes = 12

The number of ₹10 notes = $$\frac{1}{1 + 2} \times 12 = 4

Money from the ₹10 notes = 4 × 10 = Rs.40

The number of ₹50 notes = 12 - 4 = 8

Money from the ₹50 notes = 8 × 50 = Rs.400

Total money in the wallet = 40 + 400 = Rs.440

Question 75

The following table shows the income(in ₹) for a particular month, together with their source, in respect of 5 employees (A, B, C, D
and E)

How many employees got more than a total of ₹10,000 as income other than salary?

A 1

B 4

C 3

D 2

Answer: D

Downloaded from cracku.in

Explanation:
Salary of A = 52000

Other income = total - salary

Other income of A = 66000 - 52000 = 14000

Salary of B = 48500

Other income of B = 59000 - 48500 = 10500

Salary of C = 42000

Other income of C = 52000 - 42000 = 10000

Salary of D = 31000

Other income of D = 40000 - 31000 = 9000

Salary of E = 25000

Other income of E = 31700 - 25000 = 6700

∴ 2 employees(A and B) got more than a total of ₹10,000 as income other than salary.
