Answers & Explanation:
1.(C) The ratio of the no. of boys to the no. of girls = 3 : 5
Sum of the ratios = 3 + 5 = 8
So, the no. of boys in the school = (3 × 720)/8 = 270
And the no. of girls in the school = (5 × 720)/8 = 450
Let the no. of new boys admitted be x, then the no. of boys become (270 + x).
After admitting 18 new girls, the no. of girls become 450 + 18 = 468
According to given description of the problem, (270 + x)/468 = 2/3
or, 3 (270 + x) = 2 x 468
or, 810 + 3x = 936 or, 3x = 126 or, x = 42.
Hence the no. of new boys admitted = 42.
2.(A) 7(x+2p)^2+5p^2= 35px+117 p^2
7x^2+33p^2+28px = 35px+ 117 p^2
x^2-px+12p^2 = 0
on solving x= 4p,-3p
3.(A) Interest = 20000[(1+4/100)^2-1]= 1632
Efeective rate of interst = 1632/20000*100= 8.16%
4.(B) Work done by 3 men in 2 days = (1/6x 2 )=1/3.
Remaining work = (1 – 1/3)= 2/3
Now 3 men's 1 day's work =1/6
1 man's 1 day's work = 1/18
6 men's 1 day's work = (6 x 1/18=1/3
Now, 1/3 work is done by them in 1 day.
2/3 work is done by them in (3 x2/3)= 2 days.
5.(B) Part filled in 7 min = 7[ 1/36 + 1/45] = 7/20
Remaining part = [ 1- 7/20] = 13/20
Net part filled in 1 min. When A,B and C are opened
= [ 1/36 + 1/45 + 1/30 ] = 1/60
Now, 1/60 part is filled in 1 min.
13/20 part is filled in [60x13/20] = 39 min
Total time taken to fill the tank = (39 + 7) min. = 46 min.
6. (C); CP of 140 shirts and 250 trousers
= Rs (140 * 450 + 250 * 550)
= Rs. (63000 + 137500) = Rs 200500
SP for 40% profit = Rs (140/100 ×200500)=280700
Average selling price = Rs (280700/(140+250) )=Rs.720
7. (A): Let the initial number of students in Arts and Commerce faculties be 4x and 5x respectively.
According to the question,
4x/(5x+65)=8/11
44x = 40x + 520
= x = 520/4 = 130
Number of students in Arts faculty = 4 * 130 = 520
8. (B) Time = 4 half years
Rate = R% per half year
A = P (1+R/100)^T
14641 = 10000 (1+R/100)^4
(1+R/100)^4 = 14641/10000= (11/10)^4
1+R/100=11/10 ? R/100=1/10
R =10%
Rate % per annum = 20%
9. (D); Area of rectangle = Area of circle
= 22/7 * 21 * 21 = 1386 sq.cm
Let the length and breadth of rectangle be 14x and 11x cm respectively. Then,
14x * 11x = 1386
x^2=1386/(14 ×11)=9
x = v9=3
Perimeter of rectangle = 2(14x + 11x)
= 50x = 50 * 3 = 150cm.
10.(C); Total cost of TV = Rs (12500 = 300 + 800) = Rs 13600
For a profit of 15%
Selling price = Rs. (115/100 ×13600)=Rs.15640
11. (B); required time = LCM of 24, 36 and 48 second = 144 sec. = 2 min 24 sec.
12. (A); Relative speed = (60 + 48) kmph = 108 kmph
= (108 ×5/18) m/sec = 30m/sec
Total distance = (240 + 270) metre = 510 metre
Time taken in crossing = (510/30) = 17 seconds
13. (D); Ratio of equivalent capitals of Sarita and Neeta for 1 month = 50000 * 12 : 80000 * 6
Sarita's share = Rs (5/9 ×18000) = Rs. 10000
14. (E) A's 1 day's work = 1/6
B's 1 day's work = 1/12
(A +B)'s 1 day's work = 1/6 + 1/12 = 2 + 1/12 = 1/4
A and B together will make 100 baskets in 4 days.
15. (C); Samir's age = x years
His father's age = 4x years
Reema's age = 3/2x years
Required ratio = x : 3x/2 : 4x = 2: 3 : 8
Answers & Explanation:
1.(C) The ratio of the no. of boys to the no. of girls = 3 : 5
Sum of the ratios = 3 + 5 = 8
So, the no. of boys in the school = (3 × 720)/8 = 270
And the no. of girls in the school = (5 × 720)/8 = 450
Let the no. of new boys admitted be x, then the no. of boys become (270 + x).
After admitting 18 new girls, the no. of girls become 450 + 18 = 468
According to given description of the problem, (270 + x)/468 = 2/3
or, 3 (270 + x) = 2 x 468
or, 810 + 3x = 936 or, 3x = 126 or, x = 42.
Hence the no. of new boys admitted = 42.
2.(A) 7(x+2p)^2+5p^2= 35px+117 p^2
7x^2+33p^2+28px = 35px+ 117 p^2
x^2-px+12p^2 = 0
on solving x= 4p,-3p
3.(A) Interest = 20000[(1+4/100)^2-1]= 1632

4.(B) Work done by 3 men in 2 days = (1/6x 2 )=1/3.
Remaining work = (1 – 1/3)= 2/3
Now 3 men's 1 day's work =1/6
1 man's 1 day's work = 1/18
6 men's 1 day's work = (6 x 1/18=1/3
Now, 1/3 work is done by them in 1 day.
2/3 work is done by them in (3 x2/3)= 2 days.
5.(B) Part filled in 7 min = 7[ 1/36 + 1/45] = 7/20
