ANSWERS:

1. 3

Ratio = 90/108 = 5/6

2. 4

Sum = 108 + 30 = 138

3. 1

Diff = 162 - 60 = 102

4. 2

Ratio = 192/168 = 8/7

5. 4

Req% = 162/90 * 100 = 180%

6. 2

n(S) = 15C3 = (15 * 14 * 13)/6 = 455

2 red balls can be selected in 4c2 = 6 ways

And remaining one ball can be selected in 11C1 = 11 ways

P(E) = (6 * 11)/455 = 66/455

7. 3

n(S) = 15C3 = 455

Three balls have to be selected from 4 red and 6 white balls

No. of ways = 10C3 = 120

P(E) = 120/455 = 24/91

8. 4

n(S) =15C3 = 455

If all three ball are of same colour, number of ways

= 4C3 + 5C3 + 6C3 = 4 + 10 + 20 = 34

P(E) = 34/455

For being different colour P(E) = 1 - 34/455 = 421/455

9. 1

n(S) = 15C2 = 105

n(e) = 4C2 + 5C2 + 6C2 = 6 + 10 + 15 = 31

P(E) = 31/105

10. 4

n(S) = 15C3 = 455

n(E) = 4C1 + 5C1 + 6C1 = 4 * 5 * 6 = 120

P(E) = 120/455 = 24/91

given in the statement is sufficient to answer the question.

You should use the data and your knowledge of Mathematics to choose between the possible answers. Give answer—

1) If the statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement II alone is not sufficient.

2) If the statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question, but the statement I alone is not sufficient.

3) If both statements I and II together are needed to answer the question.

4) If either the statement I alone or the statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

5) If you cannot get the answer from the statements I and II together, but need even more data.

1. 2

(24*8000)/100 = 1920

2. 5

Angle = 16/100*360 = 288/5 = 57 3/5

3. 3

14/100 * 8000 = 1120

4. 3

Education = 18% of 8000

= 8000 * 18/100 = 1440

Medical = 16% of 8000

8000 * 16/100 = 1280

Difference = 1440 - 1280 = 160

5. 4

12000 * 16/100 = 1920

6. 5; Using Statement I:

2(L + B) = 20

L + B = 10

Using Statement II:

L + B = 10

So, even by using both the statements together we cannot

find the area of the rectangle.

7. 2; Using Statement II:

In 2 days 5 typists type 200 letters.

In 1 day 5 typists type 100 letters.

In 1 day 1 typist types 20 letters.

In 1 day 12 typists type 240 letters.

8. 5; Using Statement I:

x = 6, 7, 8, 9

Using Statement II:

y = 7, 8

So, even by using both the statements together we cannot

find the answer, as x + y can be odd as well as even.

9. 3;

From statement I:

(x + y + P)/3 = 10

x + y + P = 30

From statement II:

–x = y

x + y = 0

x + y + P = 30

10. 2; Using II alone

Cost to cover the room with carpet will be 300.

B) 3:4:8

C) 2:3:8

D) 4:3:8

E) None of these

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

2) 3 : 8

3) 1 : 2

4) 4 : 3

5) None of these

ANSWERS:

1. 4

Using statements A

Profit % = (5 - 4)/4 * 100 = 25%

Cost price = 125 * 100/125 = Rs. 96

Profit = 120 – 96 = Rs. 24

Similarly, we can find profit by using statement B.

2. 5

From statement A salary of C = 2.5 B

From statement B, A + B = 2 × 4000 = Rs. 8000

3. 2

From statement B, radius of circle = sq. root (169) m = 13m

Required area = π r^2

= 22/7 * (13)^2

4. 1

From statement A, 3/5 * x = x - 90

2/5x = 90

From B, x/4 = x/4 we can't determine the value of x

5. 4

Since, speed of car = Distance covered by it/ Time taken by it

6. 1

5x^2 + 6x + 1 < 0

6x^2 + 3x + 2x + 1 < 0

(2x + 1) (3x + 1) < 0

(x + 1/2) (x + 1/3) <0

- 1/2 < x < -1/3

7. 5

From equation I:

x^2 = 9

x = +/-3

From II:

y^2 + 8y + (4)^2 = 0

(y + 4)^2 = 0

y = - 4

x > y

8. 1

I: 4x^2 + 12x - 2x - 6 = 0

4x (x + 3) - 2 (x + 3) = 0

(4x - 2) ( x + 3) = 0

x = -3 or 1/2

II:

y^2 - 5y + 6 = 0

(y -3)(y - 2) = 0

y = 3 or 2

y > x

9. 3

___r^2 * 72 = 4/3 π * (6)^3

r^2 = 4

r = 2 cm

10. 5

Area of rhombus = 1/2 * 3x * 4x = 6x^2

Square of the shorter diagonal = 3x^2 = 9x^2
