 ANSWERS

1. Option 4
Let the present age of the son =x
Then, present age of the father =(60−x)
Six years ago father's age was 5 times the age of the son
(60−x)−6=5(x−6)
84=6x
x=84/6=14
Son's age after 6 years=x+6=14+6=20

2. Option 1
After 6 years, Ashu's age will be 26 years
Therefore, Present age of Ashu =26−6=20
Let present age of Shobha =x
Then, 20/x=4/3
x=20×3/4=15

3. Option 4
Average of the two areas =700/2=350
one-fifth of the average of the two areas=350/5=70
Difference of the two areas =70
Let area of the smaller part=x hectares.
Then, area of the larger part =x+70 hectares.
x+(x+70)=700⇒2x=630⇒x=315

4. Option 3
number of cubes=(18 x 18 x 18) / (3 x 3 x 3) = 216

5. Option 2.
Change in area
=(20+20+(20×20)/100)%=44%
i.e., area is increased by 44%

6. Option 3
length = breadth +23. Therefore,
4× breadth +2×23=206m
⇒ breadth =40 m

length =40+23=63 m

Area =63×40=2520 m2

7. Option 3
Speed downstream = (22 + 4) = 26 kmph

Time = 24 minutes =24/60 hour = 2/5 hour

5
Distance travelled = Time × speed =25×26= 10.4 Km
8. Option 2
Speed downstream =224 = 5.5 kmph
Speed upstream =225 = 4.4 kmph
Speed of the boat in still water =(5.5+4.4) / 2 = 4.95 kmph

9. Option 4
Let the numbers be 4k and 5k

HCF of 4 and 5 = 1
Hence HCF of 4k and 5k = k

Given that HCF of 4k and 5k = 6

=> k = 6

Hence the numbers are (4 × 6) and (5 × 6) 

= 24 and 30

LCM of 24 and 30 = 120

10. Option 1.
Since the numbers are co-prime, their HCF = 1

Product of first two numbers = 119

Product of last two numbers = 391

The middle number is common in both of these products. Hence, if we take HCF of 119 and 391, we get the
common middle number.

HCF of 119 and 391 = 17

=> Middle Number = 17

First Number =119/17=7

Last Number =391/17=23

Sum of the three numbers = 7 + 17 + 23 = 47

11. Option 3
Ratio in which profit is divided =2:3
Assume that B's contribution to the capital =b
3500×12:b×7=2:3 
⇒3500×12×3=2×b×7
 ⇒b=(3500×12×3) / 2×7 
=500×6×3=9000

12. Option 4
Initial investment capital ratio of A and B = 3 : 5

6
Let initial capital of A and B be 3x and 5x respectively.
Amount that C invested after 6 months =5x (since it is equal to B's investment)
Ratio in which profit should be distributed after 1 year
=3x×12:5x×12:5x×6
=3×12:5×12:5×6
=3×2:5×2:5
=6:10:5

13.Option 4
B claims 2/7 of the profit
A claims remaining 5/7 of the profit
=> A : B =5/7:2/7=5:2
Let the money contributed by B =b
Then A:B =16000×8:b×4
Therefore,
16000×8:b×4=5:2
16000×8×2=b×4×5
16000×2×2=b×5
3200×2×2=b
b=12800

14. option 3
tax = 30 paise = Rs.0.3
tax is 6%.
i.e., Rs.0.3 is 6% of the taxable item.
Therefore, cost of taxable item =0.3×1006=5=0.3×1006=5
cost of the tax free items =25−(0.3+5)=19.7

15. option 1
Pass percentage =252/270×100=2520/27=280/3=93(1/3)%

16. option 1
height in the previous year
=159×100/106=150cm

17. option 2
When a coin is tossed once, there are two possible outcomes: Head(H) and Tale(T)
Hence, when a coin is tossed 3 times, the number of possible outcomes
=2×2×2=8
(The possible outcomes are HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT )

18. Option 3
The word 'BIHAR' has 5 letters and all these 5 letters are different.
Total number of words that can be formed by using all these 5 letters
= 5P5 =5!
=5×4×3×2×1=120
19. Option 4
100
P2 =100×99=9900

7
20. Option 1
Efficiency of pipes A,B,C =1:2:4
Therefore, in 1010 hours, part of the tank filled by A =17
Therefore, pipe A alone requires 10×7=70 hours to fill the tank.

21. Option 3
water filled by the inlet pipe in 24 hours
= water emptied by the leak in 24−6=18 hours.
Therefore, water emptied by the leak in 6 hours
= water filled by the inlet pipe in 8 hours
i.e., capacity of the tank
= water filled by the inlet pipe in 88 hours
=8×60×4=1920 litre.

22. Option 1
Efficiency of the emptying pipe is 3/8 of the efficiency of the filling tap.
Therefore, net efficiency is 5/8 of the initial efficiency.
Hence, required time =(3×8)/5=4.8 hr

23. Option 1
cost price of 1 item =5/6
selling price 1 item =6/5
gain percentage =[(6/5−5/6)*100] / (5/6)
=11×100/25=44%

24. Option 1
Let the numbers be 4x, 5x and 6x, Then, (4x + 5x + 6x ) / 3 = 25  
=> 5x = 2
=> x = 5. 

Largest number  6x = 30.

25. Option 4

Let the three integers be x, x + 2 and x + 4. Then, 3x = 2 (x + 4) + 3  <=> x = 11.

Third integer = x + 4 = 15.

26.Option 1
Let the original salaries of Raja and Rani 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
Rani's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000

27. Option 1

8
Total number of outcomes possible when a die is rolled = 6
i.e., n(S) = 6

E = Getting a number less than 4 = {1, 2, 3}

Hence, n(E) = 3

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)=3/6=1/2

28. Option 1

Total number of cards, n(S) = 52

Total number of black cards, n(E) = 26

P(E) = n(E)/n(S)=26/52=1/2
29. Option 1

Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/4

Work done by B and C in 1 hour = 1/3

Work done by A and C in 1 hour = 1/2

Work done by A,B and C in 1 hour = 1/4+1/3 = 7/12

Work done by B in 1 hour = 7/12 – 1/2 = 1/12 => B alone can complete the work in 12 hours

30. Option 2

Work done by Kamal in 1 day = 1/20

Work done by Suresh in 1 day = (1/20) × (125/100) = 5/80 = 1/16 

=> Suresh can complete the work in 16 days
