A	150
B	300
C	250

A	9 liters
B	10 liters
C	7 liters
D	15 liters

Question 8 Explanation:

Number of liters of water in150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 20/100 * 150 = 30 liters
P liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture
Total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and total volume of mixture is (150 + P)
(30 + P) = 25/100 * (150 + P)
120 + 4P = 150 + P => P = 10 liters

A	20
B	15
C	18
D	12

Question 10 Explanation:

Dividend on Rs. 20 = Rs. (90/100) x 20 = Rs. 9/5 Rs.12 is an income on Rs. 100 Rs. 9/5 is an income on Rs. (100/12) x (9/5) = Rs. 15

Question 11

Question 12

A certain principal amounts to Rs. 15000 in 2.5 years and to Rs. 16500 in 4 years at the same rate of interest. Find the rate of interest?

A	3%
B	5%
C	9%
D	8%

Question 12 Explanation:

Amount becomes 15000 in 2.5 years and 16500 in 4 years
Simple interest for (4 - 2.5) years = 16500 – 15000
Therefore, SI for 1.5 years = Rs. 1500
SI for 2.5 years = 1500 / 1.5 * 2.5 = 2500
Principal amount = 15000 – 2500 = Rs. 12500
Rate of Interest = 2500 * 100 / 12500 * 2.5
R = 8%

Question 13

Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same speed. If the length of each train is 120 metres and they cross each other in 12 seconds, then the speed of each train (in km/hr) is?

A	72
B	36
C	10
D	18

Question 13 Explanation:

Let the speed of each train be xm/sec
Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec
So, 2x = (120 + 120) / 12
2x = 20 x = 10
Speed of each train = 10 m/sec => (10 * 18/5)km/hr = 36 km/hr

Question 14

Three candidates contested an election and received 1136, 7636 and 11628 votes respectively. What percentage of the total votes did the winning candidate get?

A	57%
B	90%
C	60%
D	65%

Question 14 Explanation:

Total number of votes polled = (1136 + 7636 + 11628) = 20400.
Required percentage = (11628/20400 x 100) % = 57%.

A	12 minutes
B	12.5 minutes
C	6 minutes
D	24 minutes

Question 16 Explanation:

Part of the tub filled in the first 2 minutes = 2*1/10 =1/5 Part of the tub filled in the next 2 minutes = 2*1/15 = 2/15
Part of the filled in 4 minutes = (1/5) +(2/15) =1/3
Time required to fill the tub = 3*4 = 12 minutes

Question 17

In a box, there are 8 red, 7 blue and 6 green balls. One ball is picked up randomly. What is the probability that it is neither red nor green?

A	8/21
B	3/4
C	7/19
D	1/3

Question 17 Explanation:

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21
Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green
n(E) = 7
Therefore P(E) = n(E) / n(S) = 7 / 21 = 1 / 3

Question 18

I) At a parking lot, a sedan is parked to the right of a pickup and to the left of a sport utility vehicle. II) A minivan is parked to the left of the pickup. III) The minivan is parked between the pickup and the sedan. If the first two statements are true, the third statement is

A	0.06
B	6
C	0.6
D	0.006

Question 19 Explanation:

(489.1375 x 0.0483 x 1.956)/(0.0873 x 92.581 x 99.749) = (489 x 0.05 x 2)/0.09 x 93 x 100
= 489/(9 x 93 x 10)
= 163/279 * 1/10
= 0.58/10
= 0.058 = 0.06

Question 20

The number of revolution a wheel of diameter 21cm takes in travelling a distance of 396m is

A	115 m
B	150 m
C	600 m

= 600

Question 21

5, 6, 9, 15, ? , 40

A	27
B	25
C	21
D	33

Question 21 Explanation:

The pattern is + 1, + 3, + 6,....., i.e. + 1, + (1, + 2), + (1 + 2 + 3),.....
So, missing term = 15 + (1 + 2 + 3 + 4) = 25.

A	17,000
B	25,500
C	20,000
D	38,000

Question 26 Explanation:

Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively
Then, (2x + 4000) / (3x + 4000) = 40 / 57
57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000)
6x = 68,000
3x = 34,000
Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000

Question 28

6 men and 8 women can complete a work in 10 days. 26 men and 48 women can finish the same work in 2 days. 15 men and 20 women can do the same work in how many days?

A	2 days
B	6 days
C	8 days
D	4 days

Question 28 Explanation:

Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b
Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10
=> 6m + 8b = 1/10
=> 60m + 80b = 1 --- (1)
Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2
=> 26m + 48b = ½
=> 52m + 96b = 1--- (2)
Solving equation 1 and equation 2. We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200
Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day
=> 15/100 + 20/200 = 1/4
=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days

Question 29

Which of the following pairs of year will not have the same calendar?

A	2014, 2019
B	2012, 2017
C	2000, 2011
D	2000, 2006

Question 29 Explanation:

Calculate the number of odd days between these years Between 2014 and 2019,
No. of odd days = 6
Hence they have a different calendar

Question 30

The L.C.M. of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3. Then sum of the number is:

A	36
B	40
C	30
D	38

Question 30 Explanation:

Let the numbers be 2x and 3x.
Then, their L.C.M. = 6x.
So, 6x = 48 or x = 8
The numbers are 16 and 24.
Hence, required sum = (16 + 24) = 40.

Question 31

In how many ways can a group of 5 men and 2 women be made out of a total of 7 men and 3 women ?

A	45
B	126
C	90
D	63

C	7 : 4
D	4 : 3

Question 32 Explanation:

Let the ages of meena and neena be 4x and 3x respectively
M : N = 4 : 3
M + N = 28
4x + 3x = 28
X= 4
M= 16
