As Length of PB = PA = 30m.
Length of QB = PB cos 30

Hence Length of AB = 25.98 - 15 10.98 ~ 11.
63. 60. 58. 57. C Let the smallest initial Number = x.
Let sequence of operation Represented by AM (Amitabh) and (Sashi)
Step operation
AM = 2x
SA = 2x + 50
AM = 4x + 100
SA = 4x + 150
AM = 8x + 300
SA = 8x + 350
AM = 16x + 700
SA = 16x + 750 Hence SA should lose that means.
16x + 750 > 999
16x + 750 > 999 (for lowest possible)
16x + 750 > 249
x >
16
249
taking minimum possible.
x > 15. Hence x = 16 And sum of digit should be 7

74. 71. 69. 68. A Let x, y, z, the number of students getting 6, 8 and 20 marks respectively
According to question 6x + 8y + 20z = 504 ---(1) and y = x + 2z -----(2)
(2) can be written as x = y 2z 6x = 6y 12z ---(3)
Put (3) in (2) we get 6y 12z + 8y + 20z = 504
14y + 8z = 504 Further solving only y = 32, z = 7 and x = 18 satisfies above equation.
total number of students = x + y + z = 18 + 32 + 7 = 57.
75. 81. 78. 81. C As seen from the sixth column of the first graph given, the percentage after USA in

each other, hardly any decline. In case of Malaysia in the year 2008-09 the bar graph is
decreasing significantly proportionately. It seems between 20- 25%. In China in the year
2008-09 the decline is close to 10%. Hence it is Malaysia in the year 2008-09.
77. 83. 80. 83. B In this case, one by one all the countries are to be seen. In the question it is clearly stated
that out of the following countries, he have to answer, and that becomes India. Overall it
seems that China would give the highest such increase. Hence answer is option B.
78. 75. 81. 75. D Just have a look at all the graphs and try n find the lowest value, it happens to be in case
of C & E Europe, having a look at the options, it is given in case of 4
th
option. Then
checking all the remaining countries given, all are in the ascending order only. Hence it
is the answer.
79. 76. 82. 76. B Just have a look at slopes of all the graphs ALONG WITH the differences of gridlines
given. In case of C and E Europe the slope is quite increasing and the difference of grid
lines is also very high i.e. starting from 5 it goes to around 20. As this is the highest
among all, this is the answer. Hence option B.
80. 77. 83. 77. E Maximum GDP of African region is 9.5 also Maximum GDP of south American region
is 9.5. Hence none of these is the answer.
81. 78. 75. 78. C The question states to find where the first increase in percentage is higher than the
second increase. The year 2005 is given in four options out of 5, that should be our
starting point. Finding it actually is higher the answer 4
th
option is rejected. Checking for
2004 after that, and finding it wrong, the possible options left are B and C only.
Checking for 2006, which is wrong. You can mark the answer as option C.
82. 79. 76. 79. B Finding the values of $ in Rs. terms for all the years given, it happens to be as follows.
Year 2001 = 45.16, 2002 = 48.5, 2007 = 4.13, 2010 = 45.7, 2011 = 46.8. Now as in year
48.5 Rs. Is equivalent to 1 dollar, it is cheapest in that year.
83. 80. 77. 80. C
R for the year 2004 is 1783
