Ques. A box contains 4 red, 3 white and 2 blue balls. Three balls are drawn at random. Find out the number of ways of selecting the
balls of different colours
12
24
48
168
Answer And Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
This question seems to be a bit typical, isn’t, but it is simplest.
1 red ball can be selected in 4C1 ways
1 white ball can be selected in 3C1 ways
1 blue ball can be selected in 2C1 ways
Total number of ways
= 4C1 x 3C1 x 2C1
=4x3x2
= 24
Please note that we have multiplied the combination results, we use to add when their is OR condition, and we use to multiply when
there is AND condition, In this question it is AND as
1 red AND 1 White AND 1 Blue, so we multiplied.

blue nor green?
2/3
8/21
3/7
9/22
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21
Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither blue nor green =e vent that the ball drawn is red.
Therefore, n(E) = 8.
P(E) = 8/21.

Ques. A speaks truth in 75% of cases and B in 80% of cases. In what percentage of cases are they likely to contradict each other,
narrating the same incident
30%
35%
40%
45%
Answer And Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let A = Event that A speaks the truth
B = Event that B speaks the truth
Then P(A) = 75/100 = 3/4
P(B) = 80/100 = 4/5
P(A-lie) = 1-3/4 = 1/4
P(B-lie) = 1-4/5 = 1/5
Now
A and B contradict each other =
[A lies and B true] or [B true and B lies]
= P(A).P(B-lie) + P(A-lie).P(B)
[Please note that we are adding at the place of OR]
= (3/5*1/5) + (1/4*4/5) = 7/20
= (7/20 * 100) % = 35%

Ques. A can do a piece of work in 15 days and B alone can do it in 10 days. B works at it for 5 days and then leaves. A alone can
finish the remaining work in
5 days
6 days
7.5 days
8.5 days
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
B’s 5 days work =
1/10∗5=½
Remaining work =1−1/2=½
A can finish work =15∗1/2=7.5days
A completes 80% of a work in 20 days. Then B also joins and A and B together finish the remaining work in 3 days. How long does it
need for B if he alone completes the work?
35 ½
36 ½
37 ½
38 ½
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5
Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 — (1)
Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B)
Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 —(2)
Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75
=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 (1/2) days
Ques. 4 men and 6 women finish a job in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women finish it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women
working together finish it ?
30 days
40 days
50 days
60 days
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let 1 man’s 1 day work = x
and 1 woman’s 1 days work = y.
Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8
and 3x+7y = 1/10
solving, we get y = 1/400 [means work done by a woman in 1 day]
10 women 1 day work = 10/400 = 1/40
10 women will finish the work in 40 days
Ques, 10 women can complete a work in 7 days and 10 children take 14 days to complete the work. How many days will 5 women
and 10 children take to complete the work?
6 days
7 days
8 days
9 days
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
1 woman’s 1 day’s work = 1/70
1 Child’s 1 day’s work = 1/140
5 Women and 10 children 1 day work =
(5/70 +10/140)=1/7
So 5 women and 10 children will finish the work in 7 days.
Ques. 5 men and 2 boys working together can do four times as much work as a man and a boy. Working capacity of man and boy is
in the ratio
1:2
1:3
2:1
2:3
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let 1 man 1 day work = x
1 boy 1 day work = y
then 5x + 2y = 4(x+y)
=> x = 2y
=> x/y = 2/1
=> x:y = 2:1
Rahul and Sham together can complete a task in 35 days, but Rahul alone can complete same work in 60 days. Calculate in how
many days Sham can complete this work ?
84 days
82 days
76 days
68 days
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
As Rahul and Sham together can finish work in 35 days.
1 days work of Rahul and Sham is 1/35
Rahul can alone complete this work in 60 days,
So, Rahul one day work is 1/60
Clearly, Sham one day work will be = (Rahul and Sham one day work) – (Rahul one day work)
=1/35−1/60=1/84
Ques. If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48 boys can do the same in 2 days, the time taken
by 15 men and 20 boys in doing the same type of work will be:
1. 4 days
2. 5 days
3. 6 days
4. 7 days
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Let 1 man’s 1 day’s work = x and 1 boy’s 1 day’s work = y.
Then, 6x + 8y = 1/10 and 26x + 48y = 1/2 .
Solving these two equations, we get : x = 1/100 and y = 1/200 .
(15 men + 20 boy)’s 1 day’s work = 15/100 + 20/200 = 1/4 .
15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.
Ques. A and B can together finish a work 30 days. They worked together for 20 days and then B left. After another 20 days, A
finished the remaining work. In how many days A alone can finish the work?
1. 40
2. 50
3. 54
4. 60
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
(A + B)’s 20 day’s work = ( 1/30 x 20 ) = 2/3 .
Remaining work = ( 1 – 2/3 ) = 1/3 .
Now, 1/3 work is done by A in 20 days.
Therefore, the whole work will be done by A in (20 x 3) = 60 days.
Ques. A person incurs a loss of 5% be selling a watch for Rs. 1140. At what price should the watch be sold to earn 5% profit.
Rs.1200
Rs.1230
Rs.1260
Rs.1290
Option C
Explanation:
Let the new S.P. be x, then.
(100 – loss%):(1st S.P.) = (100 + gain%):(2nd S.P.)
=>(95/1140=105/x)=>x=1260
Ques. A book was sold for Rs 27.50 with a profit of 10%. If it were sold for Rs. 25.75, then would have been percentage of profit and
loss ?
2% Profit
3% Profit
2% Loss
3% Loss
Answer And Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Please remember
S.P.=(((100+gain%)/100)∗C.P)
So, C.P. = ((100/110)∗25.75)
When S.P. = 25.75 then Profit=25.75−25=Re.0.75
Profit%=(0.75/25)∗100=3%
Ques. If the cost price is 25% of selling price. Then what is the profit percent.
150%
200%
300%
350%
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Let the S.P = 100
then C.P. = 25
Profit = 75
Profit% = 75/25 * 100 = 300%
Ques. The cost price of 20 articles is the same as the selling price of x articles. If the profit is 25%, find out the value of x
13
14
15
16
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Let the Cost Price of one article = Rs. 1
CP of x articles = Rs. x
CP of 20 articles = 20
Selling price of x articles = 20
Profit = 25% [Given]
⇒((SP−CP)/CP) = 25/100=1/4⇒(20−x)/x=¼
⇒80−4x=x
⇒5x=80
⇒x=80/5=16
Ques. A man buys an item at Rs. 1200 and sells it at the loss of 20 percent. Then what is the selling price of that item
Rs. 660
Rs. 760
Rs. 860
Rs. 960
Answer And Explanation
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
Here always remember, when ever x% loss,
it means S.P. = (100 – x)% of C.P
when ever x% profit,
it means S.P. = (100 + x)% of C.P
So here will be (100 – x)% of C.P.
= 80% of 1200
= 80/100 * 1200
= 960
Ques. Sahil purchased a machine at Rs 10000, then got it repaired at Rs 5000, then gave its transportation charges Rs 1000. Then
he sold it with 50% of profit. At what price he actually sold it.
Rs. 22000
Rs. 24000
Rs. 26000
Rs. 28000
Answer And Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Question seems a bit tricky, but it is very simple.
Just calculate all Cost price, then get 150% of CP.
C.P. = 10000 + 5000 + 1000 = 16000
150% of 16000 = 150/100 * 16000 = 24000
Ques. A plot is sold for Rs. 18,700 with a loss of 15%. At what price it should be sold to get profit of 15%.
Rs 25300
Rs 22300
Rs 24300
Rs 21300
Answer And Explanation
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
This type of question can be easily and quickly solved as following:
Let at Rs x it can earn 15% pr0fit
85:18700 = 115:x [as, loss = 100 -15, Profit = 100 +15]
x = (18700*115)/85
= Rs.25300
Ques. A man gains 20% by selling an article for a certain price. If he sells it at double the price, the percentage of profit will be.
130%
140%
150%
160%
Answer And Explanation
Answer: Option B
Explanation:
Let the C.P. = x,
Then S.P. = (120/100)x = 6x/5
New S.P. = 2(6x/5) = 12x/5
Profit = 12x/5 – x = 7x/5
Profit% = (Profit/C.P.) * 100
=> (7x/5) * (1/x) * 100 = 140 %
