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

Question 5 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

D	7 : 3

Question 18 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 19

Question 20

A and B invest Rs.150000 and Rs. 200000 in a business respectively. A withdraws an amount of Rs.50000 after 6 months .B withdraws an amount of Rs.50000 after 8 months. If the profit earned is Rs. 74000, find A’s share of the profit?

A	Rs. 30000
B	Rs. 5000
C	Rs. 40000
D	Rs. 13000

Question 20 Explanation: 

A:B =[(150000*6)+(100000*6)] : [(200000*8)+(150000*4)]
= 15:22
A’s share = (15/37)*74000 = Rs. 30000

Question 21

A	12 m
B	6 m
C	10 m
D	8 m

Question 21 Explanation: 

Total volume of the three cubes
= 3cube + 3cube + 5cube = 216 m cube
Side of the new cube = 6m

Question 22

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	80 m
B	72 m
C	82 m
D	50 m

Question 22 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 23

A bag contains 2 red, 3 green and 2 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random. What is the probability that none of the balls drawn is blue?

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

Question 23 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 24

From a group of 7 men and 6 women, five persons are to be selected to form a committee so that at least 3 men are there on the committee. In how many ways can it be done?

A	756
B	645
C	735
D	564

Question 24 Explanation: 

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

Question 25

Pipes P and Q can empty a tank in 1 hr and 1.5 hrs respectively. Pipes R and S can fill a tank in 2 hrs and 2.5 hrs respectively. The tank is filled to its capacity of 15 litres and all four pipes are opened simultaneously. How much water remains in the tank after an hour?

A	7 liters
B	3.5 liters
C	2.5 liters
D	5 liters

Question 25 Explanation: 

Part of tank emptied by P in an hour = 1
Part of tank emptied by Q in an hour = 1/1.5 = 2/3
Part of tank filled by R in an hour = ½
Part of tank filled by S in an hour = 1/ 2.5 = 2/5
Part of tank emptied in an hour = (1+ (2/3)) - (1/2 + (2/5)) = 23/30
Water remaining in the tank = 15*7/30 = 3.5 liters

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

Question 36 Explanation: 

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

Question 38

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. 4000
C	Rs. 2500
D	Rs. 3000

Question 38 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

D	8/15

Question 39 Explanation: 

Amount of work P can do in 1 day = 1/15
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
