Answer Key with Explanation

Directions (01 - 04): Number of females in B is = 85*100/ [106.25]

Number of males in B is 90. =80
5.26% = 1/19 The number of females in C is =85*19/17=95
So, the Number of males in A is 90*19/18=95. Number of females in D is = 80*7/8=70
5.88% = 1/17 Number of children in A is 90/6=15
So, Number of males in C is = 90*17/18=85 The number of children in B is = 80/4=20
6.25%=1/16 The number of children in C is = 95/5=19
So, Number of males in D is = 85*16/17=80 The number of children in D is = 70*1/5=14
Number of females in A is = 95*100/ [105.55] So, x=95+90+15=200
=90 So, y=90-80=10

So, z=19 4) Answer: A

So, m=80+70=150 So, male in E is = 80*110/100=88
1) Answer: C Female in E is = 150/2=75
Let the number of male working in A and B is 5x Children in E is 200/10=20
and 6x and the number of males not working in So, the total number of people in E is =
A and B is 3y and 2y 88+75+20=183
So, 5x+3y=95 and 6x+2y=90. The total number of people in C is =
By solving the above equations, we get x = 10 85+95+19=199
and 15 So, the difference is = 199-183=16
So, the number of males working in A and B is
5*10=50 and 6*10=60 and the number of males Directions (05 - 08):
not working in A and B is 3*15=45 and 2*15=30 Total marks scored by B in 1st term is =
respectively. 400*60/100=240
Females not working in A is = 90-50=40 Marks of B in Math in 1st term is = 240*14/48=70
Females working in B is = 80-30=50 Similarly, marks of B in English, science, and
So, the difference is =50-40=10=z-9 computer in 1st term are 50, 75 and 45
respectively.
2) Answer: D So, [P-30] =50
Total literate people in D is = 80*5/8 + Or, P=80
70*4/7=50+40=90 And also, R+15=75
Total illiterate people in D is = 150-90=60 Or, R=75-15=60
So, difference is = 90- So, Percentage of marks of A, B, C, and D in 1st
60=30=z+11=[m/10]*2=[x/10] + 10 term is 70%, 60%, 80% and 75% respectively.
The percentage of marks of A, B, C and D in the
3) Answer: B 2nd term is 80%, 75%, 85% and 80%
So, the Average age of A is z-11=19-11=8 respectively.
Average age of B is z-12=19-12=7 A’s total marks in 1st term is = 400*70/100=280
Average age of C is = [19+1]/2=10 A’s total marks in 2nd term is = 400*80/100=320
Average age of D is =[y+2]/2=[10+2]/2=6 A's marks in computer in both terms is =
So, required average age is = R+5=60+5=65
[15*8+20*7+19*10+6*14]/68 So, Marks of A in Math, English and Science in
=7.85 2nd term are = [320-65]*6/17 = 90, = [320-

Total marks of B in 2nd term is = 400*75/100=300
Marks of B in math in 2nd term is = 300*17/60=85
Similarly, marks of B in other subjects we can
calculate. 5) Answer: C
Marks of C in 2nd term in math and science are I. The difference between the marks of A in Math

Similarly, marks of D in English and science are Total marks of B in 2nd term is = 400*75/100=300
= 64 and 88 respectively. So, increase percentage of B is = [300-
So, marks of D in math, English and science in 240]/240=25%
1st term are 78, 64, and 88 respectively. An increased percentage of D is
Marks of D in Math in 2nd term is 90. =[(400*80/100)-(400*75/100)]*100/[(400*75/100)]
So, total marks in science, English and computer =[320-300]*100/300=6.66%
in 2nd term of D is [400*80/100-90]=230 So, option D is true.
Marks in science in 2nd term of D is =

Let the number of marriage and birthday
together and number of engagement and
anniversary organized by A is 13m and 10m.
So, 23m=115
Or, m=115/23=5

So, x/(50-y)=2/1 The total revenue earned by C is
Or, x+2y=100 -----(I) =[50*12+15*4+7*25+3*20]=895 lakhs
(x-65+x)/(y-50+y) = 3/2

=47+31=78 of cylinder A is 2x.
So, 2*[22/7]*x*2x=2464
13) Answer: C Or, x2= 2464*7/[2*22*2]=196
Series I – 78, 134, 146, 170, A So, x=+14, -14
78+[7*8]= 134 , 134+[1*3*4]=146, So, the radius of cylinder A is 14
146+[1*4*6]=170, 170+[1*7*0]=170=A Height of cylinder A is 14*2=28
Series II – 45, 140, 425, 1280, 3845 Height of cylinder B is 28*[100-28.57]/100=20
45*3+5=140, 140*3+5=425, 425*3+5=1280 so Height of cylinder C is 20*125/100=25
on……. The radius of cylinder C is 14*2=28
B=140 The radius of cylinder B is = 14*3/2=21
So, A-B=30 16) Answer: A
The radius of the cone is = 14*3/2=21
14) Answer: D Height of cone is = [14+28]/2=21
Series I –145, 314,602, 964, 1493 So, volume cylinder A is = 22/7 * 28 *14*14
145+13*13=314, 314+17*17=603=A, =17248
603+19*19=964, Volume of cone = 1/3 * 22/7 * 21*21* 21
964+23*23=1493 =9702
Series II – 45, 80, 150, 310, 570 So, the difference is 17248-9702=7546

290*2 – 10 = 570 17) Answer: C
So, A-B =603-290=313 Radius sphere A is =20*140/100=28
Radius of sphere B is = 25*80/100=20
15) Answer: B So, the total volume of spheres A and B is
