Q (C) = 4100 – (800 + 700 + 1600 + 600) = 400
1) Answer: D
Total products manufactured by the company Q
According to the question,
(H) = 1200 + 400 + 2100 + 250 = 3950
Value of C = 400
Laptops manufactured by the company S (B) =
Value of F = 500
5400 – (1600 + 2000 + 400) = 1400
Required % = (500 – 400)/500 x 100 = 20%
Laptops Manufactured by the company P (A) =
Hence, the answer is option D
4600 – (1200 + 950 + 1400 + 600) = 450
Total products manufactured by the company P
2) Answer: C
(G) = 19400 – (3950 + 3550 + 5400 + 3000) =
Value of E = 1500
3500
Value of D = 900
Watches manufactured by the company P (D) =
Required % = 1500/900 x 100 = 166.66%
3500 – (450 + 800 + 1350) = 900
Hence, the answer is option C
Watches manufactured by the company T (E) =
7900 – (900 + 2100 + 1400 + 2000) = 1500
3) Answer: A
10

Required Average = (3500 + 3950 + 3550)/3 = This statement alone is not sufficient to answer
3666.67 the question.
Hence, the answer is option A On combining both the statements,
10a = 10c, gives a = c
4) Answer: E 5b = 8d
Required Sum = 450 + 1400 + 2800 + 3550 = So, d = 5b/8
8200 From equation (2)
Hence, the answer is option E 5a – 4 x 5b/8 = 250
2a – b = 100
5) Answer: B We can’t determine the answer from using both
Total laptops manufactured = 4600 equations.
Total headphones manufactured = 2800 Hence, the answer is option E
Required % change = (4600 – 2800)/2800 x 100
= 64% (Approx.) 7) Answer: D
Hence, the answer is option B Let, the cost price of Article X = 2a
The selling price of Article Y = a
6) Answer: E Let the profit earned on Article Y = 2b
Statement I: Profit earned on Article X = b
Let, the number of students in College A and Discount given on Article X = b
College B is 10a and 5b. Discount given on Article Y = 3b/2
Now, 10a – 5b = 500 Statement I:
2a – b = 100……………. (1) Selling price of article X is Rs. 1000 more than
So, we cannot solve this equation. the marked price of article Y.
Therefore, this statement alone is not sufficient to Selling price of Article X = (2a + b)
answer the question. Marked price of Article Y = (a + 3b/2)
Statement II: Ratio of science, commerce and So, (2a + b) – (a + 3b/2) = 1000
Arts students in College A and College B is 4:3:3 a – (b/2) = 1000
and 1:4:3 respectively, Cost price of Article X = 2a
So, the total number of students in College A = Cost price of Article Y = a – 2b
4c + 3c + 3c = 10c We need to calculate = 2a – (a – 2b) = a + 2b
The total number of students in College B = d + This statement alone is not sufficient to answer
4d + 3d = 8d Statement II:
10c – 8d = 500 Profit earned on Article Y = Rs. 1000
5c – 4d = 250……………… (2) So, 2b = 1000
11

Value of b = 500 Total quantity of mixture in vessel P = 5/9 x 720 =

We cannot find the value of a 400 ml
This statement alone is not sufficient to answer. Total quantity of mixture in vessel Q = 4/9 x 720
On combining both the statements, = 320 ml
Value of b = 500 Let, the quantity of Alcohol in vessel P = 25a
We also have (a – b/2) = 1000 So, the quantity of water in vessel P = 400 – 25a
So, value of a = 1250 Let, the quantity of water in vessel Q = 48a
Required value = a + 2b = 1250 + 2 x 500 = Rs. So, the quantity of Alcohol in Vessel Q = 320 –
2250 48a
Both statements are necessary to answer the This statement alone is not sufficient to answer
question. the question.
Hence, the answer is option D On combining both statements,
Water in vessel P = 172 + Alcohol in vessel Q
8) Answer: E 400 – 25a = 172 + 320 – 48a
It is clear that any of the statement alone is not 23a = 92
sufficient to answer the question, because we Value of a = 4
don’t have sufficient information about variables So, the quantity of Alcohol in vessel Q = 320 – 48
(Time, Speed and Distance) x 4 = 128 ml
On combining both the statements, Both statements are necessary to answer the
The ratio of the speed of the boat in still water question.
and speed of stream = 4:1 Hence, the answer is option D
Distance covered in Downstream = 5/3 x
distance covered in Upstream 10) Answer: D
We have a ratio of Distance that is the same as Statement I:
the ratio of speeds (Upstream and Downstream) Let, the length of train Y = a
Both statements together are not sufficient to So, length of train X = a + 200
answer the question. Let, the speed of train Y = 4b m/s
Hence, the answer is option E So, speed of train X = 3b m/s
Now, (a + a + 200) = (4b – 3b) x 125
9) Answer: D 2a + 200 = 125b
Statement I: 125b – 2a = 200……………… (1)
Water in vessel P = 172 + Alcohol in vessel Q This statement alone is not sufficient
This statement alone is not sufficient to answer Statement II:
Statement II:
12

Speed of train X = 86.4 km/h = 86.4 x 5/18 = 24 12) Answer: A

m/s Let the total number of balls = 100a
So, (a + a + 200) = (speed of Y - 24) x Number of balls to be picked by X (Expecting) =
125…………… (2) 65% of 100a = 65a
We have two variables, this statement alone is Number of balls to be picked by Y (expecting) =
not sufficient to answer the question. 35% of 100a = 35a
On combining both statements, Number of balls picked by X (Actual) = 65a x
Speed of train Y = 4/3 x 24 = 32 m/s 60% + 35a x 20% = 46a
From equation (2) Number of balls picked by Y (Actual) = 35a x
2a + 200 = (32 – 24) x 125 80% + 65a x 40% = 54a
2a = 800 Now, (54a – 46a) = 376
So, the value of a = 800/2 = 400 meters Value of a = 376/8 = 47
So, the Length of train Y = 400 meters Actual number of balls picked by X = 46 x 47 =
Both statements together are necessary to 2162
answer the question Hence, the answer is option A
Hence, the answer is option D
13) Answer: B
11) Answer: A Let, the number of marbles initially X have = a
Let the actual number = 10a + b Let, the number of marbles initially Y have = b
Number obtained by reversing the digits = 10b + Now, (a + 10) = 2 x (b – 10)
a So, a - 2b = - 30………. (1)
Now, (10b + a)/ (10a + b) = 8/3 Also,
30b + 3a = 80a + 8b (a – 10) = (b + 10)
22b = 77a So, a – b = 20…………. (2)
So, b/a = 77/22 = 7/2 On solving (1) and (2)
So, ‘b’ and ‘a’ are in the ratio of 7:2. Only one Value of b = 50
possible value exists. So, the value of a = 50 + 20 = 70
Value of b = 7 (can’t be next multiple of 7, it is Total number of marbles initially X and Y have=
more than 9) 70 + 50 = 120
Value of a = 2 Hence, the answer is option B
Original number = 10 x 2 + 7 = 27
Number obtained by reversing the digits = 72 14) Answer: E
Required sum = 27 + 72 = 99
Hence, the answer is option A
13

If all are consecutive integers, then the average Then coupons from Z = 24 – (15 + 4) = 5 (not
of two equidistant terms is the same as the possible, because Z > Y)
average of all integers together. So, required % change = (15 – 5)/5 x 100 =
Now, (d + e) = 116 200%
Average = (d + e)/2 = 116/2 = 58 Hence, the answer is option D
So, sum of all integers in series = 58 x 8 = 464
50% of sum of all integers in series = 464/2 = 16) Answer: A
232 Ratio of time taken by A and (A + B) = 9:5
Hence, the answer is option E Ratio of efficiency of A and (A + B) = 5:9
Ratio of efficiency of A and B = 5: 4
15) Answer: D Efficiency of C = 50% of 5 = 2.5 units
The number of coupons received by Aman and Total work = (2.5 + 4) x 40 = 260 units
Aprajita from mall Y is in the ratio of 3:2. That Required time taken by A = 260/5 = 52 days
means they have at least 5 coupons from mall Y. Hence, the answer is option A
(5, 10…).
The number of coupons received by Aman and 17) Answer: D
Aprajita from mall X is ‘a’ and ‘b’ respectively. Let, the present age of Chitresh = a years
So, 5a + 3b = 14 Present age of Deepati = (a – 6) years
Value of ‘a’ and ‘b’ should be integer values, Present age of Arun = 1.5 x (a – 6) + 6 = 1.5a – 3
because the number of coupons cannot be in Present age of Bhaskar = (1.5a – 3 + a)/2 = (2.5a
points. – 3)/2
Value of a = (14 – 3b)/5 Now, a + a – 6 + 1.5a – 3 + (2.5a – 3)/2 = 35.375
On possible value that satisfies the given x4
equation is, a = 1 and b = 3 7a – 18 + 2.5a – 3 = 283
So, number coupons received by mall X = 1 + 3 = 9.5a = 304
4 Value of a = 304/9.5 = 32 years
If the number of coupons from mall Y = 5 So, the present age of Deepati = 32 – 6 = 26
Then coupons from Z = 24 – (4 + 5) = 15 years
(possible) Hence, the answer is option D
If the number of coupons from Y = 10
Then coupons from Z = 24 – (10 + 4) = 10 (Not 18) Answer: C
possible) Total interest to be paid by Amar = P x (15 + 15 +
If number of coupons from Y = 15 15 x 15/100) = 32.25% of P
14

Total interest earned by Amar from Scheme = 22.12 % of 449.91 + 59.91% of 85.15+ 139.908%
60% x P x 32% x 2 = 38.4% of P of 135.35 = ?
So, 38.4% of P – 32.5% of P = 4425 99 + 51 + 189 = ?
