15. The number of female employees in company C in 2010 is how much percent more than the number of female employees in company D in 2011?
(a) 50/3
(b) 25
(c) 20
(d) 20/3
Answers:
1. (a)
Let the total amount be x.
C’s original share = 3x / 6 = x / 2
C’s new share = 2x / 9
Now
(x / 2) – (2x / 9) = 60
x = 216
2. (d)
Gaurav’s marks in A = 83
Gaurav’s marks in B = 75% of 120 = 90
Now
(83 + 90 + x) / 360 * 100 = 80
x = 115
3. (c)
No. of erasers > No of pencils > No of pens
Possible combinations
Erasers = 11, Pencils = 8, Pens = 7
OR
Erasers = 10, Pencils = 9, Pens = 7
4. (c)
Let the shares of A and B be 5x and 6x. Now
5x + 6x = 31394
x = 2854
Required difference = (3 * 5)x – (2 * 6)x = 3x = 8562
5. (b)
Let the numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2. Now
x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 2475
x = 824
Required number = 35% of 824 = 288.4
6. (d)
Let the three numbers be x, x+2 and x+4. Now
x * (x + 2) * (x + 4) = 2688
x = 12
So the numbers are 12, 14 and 16.
Required number = 5 * 14 = 70
7. (d)
Sum of the ages of 4 members 5 years ago = 106 years
Sum of the ages at present if there was no change in family = 106 + 5 * 4 = 126
Sum of the ages after the daughter is replaced by daughter-in-law = 108
Difference in the age of the daughter and the daughter in law = 126 – 108 = 18
8. (a)
(10 – x) / (14 - x) = (14 - x) / (20 - x)
x = 2
9. (d)
Required probability =
10. (d)
Let the work to be done = 24 units
Work done by A and B in one day = 6 units
Work done by B and C in one day = 4 units
Work done by A and C in one day = 3 units
Work done by all three (A, B and C) in two days = 6 + 4 + 3 =13 units
Work done by all three (A, B and C) in one day = 13/2 = 6.5 units
Work done by A alone in one day = 6.5 – 4 = 2.5 units
Work done by C alone in one day = 6.5 – 6 = 0.5 units
Ratio of efficiencies of A and C = 2.5 : 0. 5 = 5 : 1
Ratio of time taken by them to complete the work alone = 1 : 5
11. (a)
Required sum = 373 +352+ 360 = 1085

12. (c)
Required sum = 92 +320 + 360 +305 + 197 +125 +220 + 370 +300 + 176 =2465
13. (d)
Total number of females in 2009 = 125 + 184 + 345 + 286 + 116 = 1056
Total number of females in 2010 = 100 + 210 + 360 + 290 + 170 = 1130
Required difference = 1130 – 1056 = 74
14. (b)
Required ratio = (284+286) : (305 + 300) = 114 : 121
15. (c)
Required percentage = (360 - 300) / 300 * 100 = 20%
