Also, (x + y) = 10 27. (B) Volume of cube formed = 216 cm3

˙·˙ A beats B by 10 seconds.

39. (B) January = 27000 – 21000 = 6000
April = 36000 – 20000 = 16000 or x = 7
∴ Increase = 16000 – 6000 = 10000 ∴ Present age of Ram Kishan
40. (C) 36000 – 17000 = 19000 = May = 5 × 7 = 35 years
41. (D) Let the total marks obtained by the whole team 48. (D) Let the breadth of the plot be x m

x + 92 – 85 ∴ Ist length = 4x m
then = 84

∴ × 4x × x = 1200
∴ x = 84 × 8 – 7 = 665 3
42. (C) Let the required number be x 1200 × 3
or x2 = = 900
then, 31x – 13x = 342 4
or 18x = 342 ∴ x = 30
or x = 19 ∴ Length of the plot = 4 × 30 = 120 metres
43. (B) Praveen spends 30% of his income that is Rs. 49. (D) Discount on 1st saree = 15% of 1000 = Rs. 150
3000 on petrol. ∴ Cost price of the 1st saree
Hence, Praveen’s income is 100%
= 1000 – 150 = Rs. 850
= Rs. 10000
Money left after he has spend it on petrol ∴ Cost price of 2nd saree = Rs. 850
= 10000 – 3000 = Rs. 7000 Profit on 1st saree = 20% of 850 = Rs. 170
∴ Money spent on house rent and profit on 2nd saree = 15% of 850
1 = Rs. 127·50
= th of 7000

7 States showing above average production in 1986-87

∴ Weight of lead = (48·4 × 5) gms = 242 gms So, the required type of states is A only.
12. (C) Let the price of Rs. 100 share be Rs. x. 23. (D) Production by A is 79 lakh bales while
production by B during this period is 84 lakh bales.
Then income on Rs. x = Rs. 12. So (A) is false. Statements (B) and (C) are clearly

Thus, y : x = 7 : 4. 2
