(2) 8                
(3) 6                                   
(4) 2

Answers with solutions:
1.(1) 
Profit percentage = (13-10)*100/10 = 30%

2. (3) 
The S.P. of 7 pens = 10*140/100 = Rs 14
∴The S.P. of I pens = 14/7 = Rs 2
∴The pens for Rs 10 = 10/2 = 5

3. (1)
Crossing time = l1+ l2 / relative speed
l1 = x
l2 = x/2
Relative speed = 36 + 54 = 90 km/hr = 90 x 5/8 = 25 m/s
Time = 12 sec
12 = x + x/2 / 25
x = 200 m
Now train crossing the platform
l1 = 200 m,    l2 = length of platform = y
Time = 1.5 min = 90 sec
Speed = 36 km/hr = 10 m/s
90 = 200 + y / 10
Y = 700 m

4.  (2) 
CP of the mixture = 20 x 2 + 30 x 3  / 5   = 26
SP = 1.1 x 6 = 28.6

5.  (4) 
Original area of the circle = π (8)2 = 64 π
New area of the circle = π (6)2 = 36 π

% decrease in area = 64 π  - 36 π / 64 π x 100 = 43.75%

6.  (4) 
Total Students in school = 3600
Number of boys = 4/9 x 3600 = 1600
Number of boys who like hockey = 20% of 1600 = 320
Number of girls = 2000
Number of girls who like hockey = 60% of 2000 = 1200
Number of students who do not like hockey = (1600 – 320) + (2000 – 1200) = 2080 

7.  (1)
Let the present ages of Sonu and Monu be 7x and 6x. Now
7x – 8 /6x – 8 = 5/4
x = 4
Present age of Monu = 24 years
Monu’s age four years from now = 24 + 4 = 28 years

8.  (2)
 Let the numbers be x, x + 2 and x + 4. Then
x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = x + 20
x = 7
So the middle number is 9.

9.  (3)
 The ratio of their investments = 24000 x 12: 31000 x 8 : 40000 x 6 = 36 : 31:30
Since the ratio of investment is also the ratio of profit,
C’s share = 30/97 x 12028 = 3720

10. (2) 
2 M x 6 = 2 W x 9 = 3 C x 8
2 M = 3 W = 4 C
The ratio of efficiency of man, woman and children = 1/2: 1/3: 1/4 = 6: 4: 3
Let the work done by a man, a woman and a children in one day be 6 units, 4 units and 3 units respectively.
So the total work to be done = 2x6x6 = 72 units
Work done by 3 women and 4 children in one day = 3 x 4 + 4x 3 = 24 units
Remaining work = 72 – 24 = 48 units
Number of men required to complete the remaining work in one day = 48/6 = 8

Solutions (1-5):
1. (2) 

2. (1) Required percentage = 25/35 * 100 = 71.43%

3. (4) Required percentage =  (42.5 - 37.5)/37.5 *100 = 13.33%

4. (3) Required ratio = (45 – 42.5) : (37.5 – 30) = 1 : 3

5. (4) Required average = (35000 + 37500 + 42500 + 45000 + 47500 + 52500)/6  =43330 (approx).

Solutions (6-10):

6. (3) Required ratio = 475 : 425 = 19 : 17

7. (4) Total distance travelled by all trucks = 475 + 350 + 550 + 425 + 525 = 2325 km
Average distance = 2325/5 = 465 km .

8. (2) Time taken by truck C = 550/55 = 10 hours.

(a) 4/13  
(b) 7/13 
(c) 1/13 
(d) 1/26 

ANSWERS WITH EXPLNATION :
1. (b)
Speed downstream = 20/4 = 5 kmph
Speed upstream = 16/4 = 4 kmph
Speed of current = 1/2 * (5-4)= 0.5 kmph

2. (d)
SP = 20, gain = 25%
CP = 100/125 * 20 = Rs 16
Now, CP = 16, gain = 40%
SP =  140/100 * 16 = 22.40
Increase = 22.4 – 20 = 2.4

3. (a)
Annual intetest = Rs 365 × 2 = Rs 730
Rate = 8%
Sum = (100 * 730)/8 = Rs 9125

4. (a)
(X + Y)’s 6 days’ work = 6 * (1/20 + 1/10) = 9/10
Remaining work = 1 - 9/10 = 1/10
1/10 work is done 2y Y in 10 * 1/10 = 1 day

5. (d)
Let the CP is Rs x.
Then, x * 110/100  = 990
x = 900
Now CP is Rs 900 and SP is 880.
% loss =  20/900 * 100 = 20/9%

6. (c)
Let the number of student is x out of that 40% have failed.
40/100 * x = 320
x = 320 * 100/40 = 800

7. (d)
CP = Rs 840 and SP = Rs 920
Gain = 920 – 840 = Rs 80
gain percentage = 80/840 * 100 = 9.52%

8. (b);
Amar’s salary is less than of Raj 2y
(R/100 + R * 100)% = (30/(100 + 30) * 100)%
(30/130 *100 )% = 300/13% = 23% APPROX

9. (d)
According to formula:  
Number of arrangements = (5-1)!/2 = 12

10. (b)
26/52 + 2/52 = 28/52 = 7/13

6.    (a)  

2^nd term = (1^st term *1+2)= (4*1+2) = 6

3^rd term = (2^nd term*2+3) = (6*2+3) = 15

4^th term = (3^rd term*3+4) = (15*3+4) = 49

5^th term = (4^th term*4+5) = (49*4+5) = 210 and so on

Therefore 5 is wrong

7.   (e)   

2^nd term = (1^st term - 8)/2 = (888-8)/2 = 440

3^rd term = (2^st term - 8)/2 = (440-8)/2 = 216

4^rd term = (3^st term - 8)/2 = (216-8)/2 = 104

5^rd term = (4^st term - 8)/2 = (104-8)/2 = 48

6^rd term = (5^st term - 8)/2 = (48-8)/2 =20

Therefore 22 is wrong

8.    (d)  

2^nd term = (1^st term* 1.5) = 2 * 1.5 = 3

3^rd term = (2^st term* 2) = 3* 2 = 6

4^th term = (3^st term* 2.5) = 6 * 2.5 = 15

5^th term = (4^st term* 3) = 15 * 3 = 45

Therefore 52.5 is wrong

9.   (b)   

2^nd term = (1^st term * 2 - 2) = (5 * 2 – 2)  = 8

3^rd term = (2^st term * 3 - 2 ) = (8* 3 – 2) = 22

4^th term = (3^st term * 2 - 2 ) = (22 * 2 – 2) = 42

5^th term = (4^st term * 3 - 3) = (42 * 3 – 2) = 124 and so on

Therefore 20 is wrong

10.  (c)    

2^nd term = (1^st term - 30)/2= (1050-30)/2= 510

3^rd term = (2^st term - 26)/2= (510-26)/2= 242

4^th term = (3^st term - 22)/2 = (242-22)/2 = 110

Therefore 106 is wrong

ANSWERS
1. (2)
Total students are 40 × 15 = 600
So, 18 x 16 + (12 + 14) = 456
Left student is 10 and their average is =600-456= 144÷ 10=14.4

2. (1)
The interest in 2 years is 594.5 which is 10.25% of 5800. Hence the rate of interest is 5% p.a.

3. (2)
Upstream speed = 5 km/hr
Downstream speed = 15 km/hr
Speed of boat in still water = (5 + 15)/2 = 10 km/hr
Required time = 90/10 = 9 hrs

4. (5)
Let the rate of interest is=x
(X * 5000 * 2)/100 + (3000 * 4 * x)/100 = 2200
x = 10%

5. (4)
Let Car A takes t hrs to reach  the place
Distance is same,
35 t = 55(t – 7/2)
T = 77/8
Distance = 35 * 77/8 = 336.87 km

6. (3)
Let the number  be X and Y
Then 6y – x = 71 and 7x + y = 62
 Solving the equation
X = 7,  y = 13

7. (2) C.I. = 85000 × (19.1016/100)
= Rs 16236.36 Approx.

8. (3) Difference of time = 5000/60 − 5000/(60 * 1.15)
= 5000/60 − 5000/69
= 83.33 – 72.46
= 10 min (Approx.)

9. (3)
3*B’s daily work= (A+C)’s daily work
4*B’s daily work = (A+B+C)’s daily work = 1/20
B’s daily work = 1/80
2*C’s daily work = (A+B)’s daily work
3*C’s daily work = (A+B+C)’s daily work = 1/20
C’s daily work= 1/60
A’s daily work= 1/20 - (1/80 + 1/60) = 1/48
A can finish the work in 48 days.

Let the side of park be=’x’
Area of path= 2{(x + 10)5 + 5x}

  
1700=2(10x+50)
x = (850 - 50)/10 = 80m
Area =(80)^2=6400 sq.m

11. (4)
Total letters are ‘8’ and No of vowels = 4
So total no of ways=5! * 4! = 2880

12. (3) Let the distance be x km
Time taken by car = x/35 and time taken on cycle = x/10
x/10 + x/35 = 18
 
13. (4) ,Let 150 men complete the work in x days , work done by 150 men in 20 days +work done by 230 men in 30 days=1
20/x + (230 * 30)/150x = 1
x = 66 days
So it is 66-50 = 16 days behind the schedule

14. (4)
Let the original price to be Rs 100.
So he bought it at 10% discount ie Rs 90 and sells it at 35% more than the original rate ie Rs 135.
Actual profit is 135-90=Rs 45
So % profit = 45/90 * 100 = 50%

By the method of allegation:

Or, (15  - x)/(x - 10) = 2/5
Or, 75- 5x=2x-20
Or, 7x=95
Or, x=13.57%
