1) Answer: A So, ratio of speed of boat in still water and that of

According to Question, stream = 4:1
Ratio of profit = (3 x 6 + 3 x 1.6 x 12): (5 x 6 + 5 x Upstream speed of boat = 1800/37.5 = 48 km/h
0.5 x 12): (8 x 6 + 8 x 0.5 x 12) So, (4 – 1) units = 48
→12.6: 10: 16 1 unit = 48/3 = 16
→63:50:80 So speed of boat in still water = 16 x 4 = 64 km/h
Now, (80 – 63) units = 4556
1 unit = 4556/17 = 268 5) Answer: E
So profit share of B = 50 x 268 = Rs. 13400 Total number of multiples of 9 from 1 to 800 =
800/9 = 88
2) Answer: B One digit and two digit multiple of 9 = 99/9 = 11
Let price of low quality rice = Rs. 8a per kg Three digits multiples of 9 = 88 – 11 = 77
Cost of high quality rice = 2.5 x 8 = Rs. 20a per kg Multiples of 27 from 1 to 800 = 800/27 = 29
Total cost price = 20 x 20a + 40 x 8a = Rs 720a Two digits multiples of 27 = 3 (27, 54, 81)
Selling price per kg = 20a x 75% = Rs 15a Three digits multiples of 27 = 29 – 3 = 26
Total selling price = 15a x (20 + 40) = 900a Required multiples = 77 – 26 = 51
Required profit/loss % = (900a – 720a)/720a x 100 Required probability = 51/800
= 25% profit
6) Answer: B
3) Answer: D According to question
Distance will be the sum of the length of two trains 89180 = 32500 x [(1 + R/100)3 - 1]
in both cases which is constant. Let the speed of [(1 + R/100)³ - 1] = 89180/32500
faster train and slower train is p m/s and q m/s (1 + R/100)³ = 343/125
respectively. (1 + R/100) = 7/5
So, (p – q) x 232 = (p + q) x 24 R = 40%
(p + q) / (p – q) = 232/24 = 29/3 Quantity I. required simple interest = 13650 x 2 x
So, p/q = 32/26 = 16/13 40% = Rs. 10920
Required % change = (16 – 13)/16 x 100 = 18.75% Quantity II. Required compound interest = 15000 x
(1.23 - 1) = 10920
4) Answer: C So, Quantity I = Quantity II
According to question, 7) Answer: E
Ratio of downstream speed and speed of stream = Selling price of Article = CP + 2075
100: 20 = 5:1 Marked price of Article = CP + 3200
9

Difference between SP and MRP = (CP + 3200) – Quantity II. Distance covered by bus Q = 40/3 x
(CP + 2075) = 1125 720 = 9600 km
Also ratio of SP and MP = 81.25/100 = 13/16 Quantity I = Quantity II
So, 3 units = 1125
1 unit = 375 9) Answer: A
Selling price of article X = 375 x 13 = Rs. 4875 Quantity I. Let the total capacity of tank = 144 units
Cost price of article X = 4875 – 2075 = Rs. 2800 Efficiency of pipe P3 = 144/12 = 12 units/hour
Quantity I. Cost price of article Y = 2800 – 400 = Efficiency of rest pipes (each pipe) = 1/3 x 12 = 4
2400 units/hour
Selling price of article Y = 2400 x 203% = Rs. 4872 Required time = 144/ (12 + 4 x 4) = 144/28 = 5.14
Quantity II.The selling price of article X = Rs. 4875 hours
Quantity I < Quantity II Quantity II. 5.10 hours
Quantity I > Quantity II
8) Answer: B
Quantity I. Let the distance covered by bus X = 8a 10) Answer: B
So, according to given condition Quantity I.
Now, 2a/240 + 3a/300 + 3a/360 = 32 Munny + Hunny + Bunny = 480 + Munny
60a + 72a + 60a = 7200 x 32 Hunny + bunny = 480
So value of a = 1200 23.4% of (Hunny + Bunny) = 480 x 23.4% = 112.32
Quantity I. Value of X = 1200 x 8 = 9600 km Quantity II. 112.32
Quantity I = Quantity II
