Amount of work Q can do in 1 day = 1/20
Amount of work P and Q can do in 1 day = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60
Amount of work P and Q can together do in 4 days = 4 * (7/60) = 7/15
Fraction of work left = 1 – 7/15 = 8/15

A	5/7
B	11/21
C	2/7
D	10/21

Question 12 Explanation: 

Total number of balls = (2 + 3 + 2) = 7
Let S be the sample space
Then, n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7
= 7C₂ = (7 x 6) / (2 x 1) = 21
Let E = Event of drawing 2 balls, none of which is blue
n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 + 3) balls
= ⁵C₂
= (5 x 4) / (2 x 1)
= 10
Therefore P(E) = n(E) / n(S) = 10 / 21

Question 13

A boat travels 10 km upstream and 5 km downstream in 3 hrs. If the speed of the boat in still water is 7 kmph, find the speed of the stream?

A	5 kmph
B	4 kmph
C	2 kmph
D	3 kmph

Question 13 Explanation: 

Let the speed of the stream be x kmph
Upstream speed = (7-x) kmph
Downstream speed = (7+x) kmph
Time taken to travel upstream = (10/ (7-x)) hrs
Time taken to travel upstream = (5/ (7+x)) hrs
(10/ (7-x)) + (5/ (7+x)) = 3
3 x 2 + 5x – 42 = 0
Solving this equation, x= 3

Question 14

Question 19

A certain amount becomes Rs. 5760 in 2 years and Rs. 6912 in 3 years. What is the principal amount and the rate of interest?

A	Rs. 7000
B	Rs. 3000
C	Rs. 4000
D	Rs. 2500

Question 19 Explanation: 

S.I on Rs. 5760 for 1 year = 6912 – 5760 = Rs. 1152
Therefore, Rate of interest for 1 year = 100 * 1152/5760 * 1 = 20%
Let the principal be p
Then, Principal = p[1 + 20 / 100]² = 5760
Solving which gives Principal = Rs. 4000

Question 20

If he would have revised his first draft, he would have received a better grade.

A	had revised
B	could of revised
C	would have revised
D	had of revised
E	would revise

Question 20 Explanation: 

With conditional-subjunctive constructions, never add the subjunctive auxiliary verb (would/could/would have/could have) to the conditional (If) half [(A), (C), (E)]; it is only used in the subjunctive half.
It is never correct to substitute the preposition "of" for the auxiliary verb "have" [(C), (D)].

Question 21

Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train is?

A	50 m
B	80 m
C	72 m
D	82 m

Question 21 Explanation: 

Let the length of each train be x metres
Then, distance covered = 2xmetres
Relative speed = (46 - 36) km/hr
= (10 * 5 / 18) m/sec
= (25 / 9) m/sec
Therefore,( 2x / 36) = (25 / 9)
2x = 100 x = 50

Question 22

If 40% of a number is equal to two-third of another number, what is the ratio of first number to the second number ?

A	3 : 7
B	5 : 3
C	2 : 5
D	7 : 3

Question 22 Explanation: 

Let 40% of A = 2 / 3 B
Then, 40A / 100 = 2B / 3
2A / 5 = 2B / 3
A / B = (2 / 3 * 5 / 2) = 5 / 3
A : B = 5 : 3

Question 23

We may have (3 men and 2 women) or (4 men and 1 woman) or (5 men only). Required number of ways = (⁷C₃ x ⁶C₂) + (⁷C₄ x ⁶C₁) + (⁷C₅)
(7 x 6 x 5)/(3x2x1) x (6 x 5/2x1) + (⁷C₃ x ⁶C₁) + (⁷C₂)
=525 +(7x6x5/3x2x1 x 6) + (7x6/2x1)
= (525 + 210 + 21)
=756

A	87.5%
B	83.33%
C	100%
D	84%

Question 28 Explanation: 

Percentage of milk in the mixture formed = [80/100 (180) + 36] / (180 + 36) * 100% = (144 + 36) /216 * 100% = 5/6 * 100% = 83.33%
