1) What percent of 700 is 2.1?
a) 3 b) 0.3 c) 0.03 d)30
Solution
awi, K msL¨vwUi 700% n‡jv 2.1
Zvn‡j, K ×700% = 2.1
2.1×100
Or, K = 700 = 0.3

𝟓𝟗𝟖+𝟒𝟕𝟗 𝟐− 𝟓𝟗𝟖−𝟒𝟕𝟗 𝟐= ?
2) 𝟓𝟗𝟖×𝟒𝟕𝟗
a) 5 b) 4 c) 6 d) 1
Solution
598+479 2 − 598−479 2 = 4×598×479
598×479 598×479
= 4 [Using 4ab = (a + b)² – (a – b)² Concept]

Answer b) 4
3) If the product of three consecutive integers is 720, then the sum of the two largest integers is-
Abyev`t hw` cici wZbwU c~Y©msL¨vi ¸Ydj 720 nq, Zvn‡j e…nËg c~Y©msL¨v `ywUi ‡hvMdj nj-
a) 10 b) 15 c) 17 d) 19
SolutionLet the first integer be x - 1. Then the next two integers would be x and x + 1.
So, (x ‒ 1)× x × (x + 1) = 720
Or, (x² ‒ 1)x = 720
Or, x³ ‒ x = 720
∴ x = 9 , Check 9³ ‒ 9 = 729 ‒ 9 = 720.
So, x = 9. The other two numbers are 8 and 10 which are equal to x ‒ 1 and x + 1 respectively.
Now then the sum of the two largest integers = 9+10=19
Answer d) 19
4) How many pieces of 85 cm length stick can be cut from a 42.5 merers long stick?
Abyev`t GKwU 42.5 wgUvi j¤^v jvwV ‡_‡K 85 ‡mwg ‰`‡N¨©i KZ ¸‡jv jvwVi UyK‡iv KvUv hvq?
a) 30 b) 40 c) 50 d) 60
Solution
Length of rod = 42.5×100 = 4250cm [⸪100 cm = 1 m]
4250
Number of pieces = =50
85
Therefore 50 pieces of 85cm length can be cut from a rod of 42.5m.
Answerc) 50
5) How many numbers from 11 to 50 are there which are exactly divisible by 7 not by 3?
Abyev`t 11 ‡_‡K 50 ch©šÍ KqwU msL¨v Av‡Q ‡h¸wj 7 Øviv wefvR¨ wKš` 3 Øviv wefvR¨ bq?
a) 6 b) 5 c) 4 d) 2
Solution The number from 11 to 50, which are divisible by 7 are 14, 21, 28, 35, 42 and 49.
But out of these 21 and 42 are divisible by 3. then, the required numbers are 14, 28, 35 and 49.

6) The difference between two numbers is 7 and their product is 60, then one of thetwo numbers must be-
Abyev`t `ywU msL¨vi g‡a¨Kvi cv_©K¨ 7 Ges Zv‡`i Mybdj 60 n‡j GKwU msL¨v KZ n‡Z cv‡i?
a) 5 b) 6 c) 7 d) 4
Solution
awi msL¨v `ywU x I y
kZ©g‡Z,
x‒y = 7 and xy = 60
Now, x = 7 + y
Therefore, xy = 60

1
[CAREER AID FOR BANK AND BCS] Suggestion

Or, (7+y)y = 60
Or, y2 + 7y ‒ 60 = 0
Or, y2 + 12y ‒ 5y ‒ 60 = 0
Or, y(y + 12) ‒ 5(y + 12) = 0
Or, (y + 12)(y ‒ 5) = 0
Hence, y = 5 and y = ‒ 12

8) y + [y ‒ (x+ y) ‒ {y ‒ (y ‒ x ‒ y)} + 2x] =?
a) x b) 4x c) x/20 d) 0
Solution
y + [y ‒ (x+ y) ‒ {y ‒ (y ‒ x ‒ y)} + 2x] = y + [y ‒ x‒ y ‒ {y ‒ y + x + y} + 2x] = y + {‒ x ‒ (x + y} +

a) 1 + x16 b) 1– x16 c) x16 –1 d) x8+1
Solution
Here, (1 +x) (1 + x2) (1+ x4) (1+x8) (1- x) = (1 – x2) (1 + x2) (1+ x4) (1+x8)
= (1 – x4) (1+ x4) (1+x8) = (1 – x8)(1+x8) = (1‒x16)

1 1 1
Or, (x + )3− 3×x× ×(x + ) = 52
x x x
1 1
Or, (x + )3−3(x + ) = 52

a) 20% b) 24% c) 36% d) 44%
Solution
Length and width of a rectangular plot are l & b unit
Then, Area = lb sq unit
After 20 % increased length and width of a rectangular plot are 1.2l & 1.2b

2
[CAREER AID FOR BANK AND BCS] Suggestion

Then, Area= 1.2l× 1.2b =1.44lb sq unit

a) 5% b) 10% c) 20% d) 25%
SolutionEven if the percentage of his commission remains the same, his total commission will
increase due to the increament of his salary.
Previous commission = 10% of 5000 = 500
New salary = 5000 + 10% of 5000 = 5000 + 500 = 5500
New commission = 10% of 5500 = 550
550‒500
Increament of commission = ×100% = 10%

a) 20% b) 24% c) 36% d) 44%
Solution
Length and width of a rectangular plot are l & b unit
Then, Area = lb sq unit
After 20 % increased length and width of a rectangular plot are 1.2l & 1.2b
Then, Area= 1.2l× 1.2b =1.44lb sq unit
1.44lb − lb
Hence % Change = ×100% = 44%

Given, Eight years ago,

Aman's age =3x−8
Aman's son age = x−8
Aman's age = 5 × Aman's son's age
