Answers:

6. 3

Let he attempted ‘x’ correct and ‘y’ wrong question

2x - y = 72-------- (I) and x + y = 60 -------- (II)

Solving (I) and (II) x = 44, y = 16

7. 2

Let number of non technician = x

1200 × 8 + 300 × x = ( 8 + x) × 500

9600 + 300 x = 500 x + 4000

x = 28

Total employee = 8 + 28 = 36

8. 3

Let no. of Ist type lemon = No. of IInd type lemon = x

CP = 2x/3 + 3x/2 = 13x/6

SP = 2x * 5/5 = 2x

13x/6 - 2x = 30

13x - 12x = 180

x = 180

9. 2

Let cost of article after Ist discount is x

x * 40/100 = 180

x = 450

SP after IInd discount = 450 - 180 = 270

10. 3

Let total distance is 100KM

T1 = 25/50 = 1/2 hour

T2 = 60/40 = 3/2 hour

T3 = 15/20 = 3/4 hour

T = 1/2 + 3/2 + 3/4 = 11/4 hour

Avg speed = 100/(11/4) = 36 4/11 km/hr
