Average number of students in school
A=360/2=180
Average number of students in school
D=240/2=120
Required difference=180-120=60
1) Answer: A
3) Answer: D
Number of boys in school E are living in
Required ratio=140:490=2:7
hostel=175*3/5=105
Number of girls in school E are living in
4) Answer: C
hostel=140/2=70
Total number of number of students in school x=3

F=180*5/4=225 The length of the rectangle = 5 * 3 = 15 cm
Number of boys in school F=108+17=125 The breadth of the rectangle = 4 * 3 = 12 cm
Number of girls in school F=225-125=100 The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 * (15 + 12) =
2 * 27 = 54 cm
5) Answer: B From quantity II,
Required percentage=(280- The side of the square = 225 = 15 cm
160)/160*100=120/160*100=75% The perimeter of the square = 4 * 15 = 60 cm
Quantity II > Quantity I
6) Answer: A
From quantity I, 8) Answer: C
Let the number of girls in the class = a From quantity I,
And the number of boys in the class = a + 16 54.45 = 4500 * R * R/(100 * 100)
(a + 16) * 26 + a * 16 = (a + 16 + a) * 23 R = 11%
26a + 416 + 16a = (2a + 16) * 23 Quantity I < quantity II
42a + 416 = 46a + 368
4a = 48 9) Answer: E
a = 12 From quantity I,
The number of girls in the class = 12 Radius of the cylinder = 14 cm
The number of boys in the class = 12 + 16 = 28 CSA of the cylinder = 2 * 22/7 * 14 * h = 1320
The total number of students in the class = 28 + h = 15 cm
12 = 40 From quantity II,
From quantity II, Perimeter of the square = √225 * 4 = 60 cm
36 Perimeter of the rectangle = 60 – 10 = 50 cm
Quantity I > Quantity II 2 * (2x + 3x) = 50
x = 5 cm
7) Answer: C Length of the rectangle = 3 * 5 = 15 cm
From quantity I, Quantity I = quantity II
Let the length of the rectangle = 5x
And the breadth of the rectangle = 4x 10) Answer: E
5x * 4x = 180 y = x/10
x2 = 180/20 x = 10y
x= 9 (x + 50)/(y + 10) = 9
10y + 50 = 9y + 90 Ragu’s annual income = 60000 * 12 = Rs.

y = 40 km/hr 720000
From Quantity I,
Distance between A and B = x = 10 * 40 = 400 13) Answer: C
km According to the question,
Quantity I = Quantity II 30000 * [(100 + x)/100] + [(40000 * (x + 5))/100]
+ 40000 = 75500
11) Answer: B 30000 + 300x + 400x + 2000 = 75500 - 40000
Milk = 5/9 * 90 = 50 litres 700x = 35500 - 32000
Water = 4/9 * 36 = 40 litres x = 3500/700
Milk in 45 litres = 5/9 * 45 = 25 litres x=5
Water in 18 litres = 4/9 * 45 = 20 litres Rate of Interest for S.I = x + 5 = 10 %
(50 – 25)/(40 – 20 + x) = 2/3
40 + 2x = 75 14) Answer: D
2x = 35 Speed of boat in still water = 24 kmph
x = 17.5 litres Speed of stream = 6 kmph
Downstream speed = 24 + 6 = 30 kmph
12) Answer: B Upstream speed = 24 – 6 = 18 kmph
Ragu’s monthly income = 2 * Reena’s monthly Distance = D
income D/30 + D/18 = 32
The ratio of monthly income of Ragu and Reena 3D + 5D = 90 * 32
=2:1 D = 360 km
Reena’s monthly income = (120/100) * Ravi’s
monthly income 15) Answer: C
The ratio of monthly income of Reena and Ravi The share of P, Q and R,
=6:5 = > [12000 * 5 + 15000 * 7] : [15000 * 12] :
The ratio of monthly income of Ragu, Reena and [18000 * 8 + 15000 * 4]
Ravi = > [60000 + 105000] : [180000] : [144000 +
= > 12 : 6 : 5 60000]
Reena’s monthly income = 6’s = 30000 = > 165000 : 180000 : 204000
1’s = 5000 = > 55 : 60 : 68
Ragu’s monthly income = 12’s = Rs. 60000 183’s = 73200
1’s = 400
The share of Q = 60’s = Rs. 24000 16) Answer: C

The number of The Hindu newspapers sold in
Directions (16-20): April, July and August together = 6000 + 5500 +
March: 4000 = 15500
The number of The Hindu newspapers sold = The number of Indian express newspapers sold
4500 in June and July together = 6000 + 3000 = 9000
The number of Indian express newspapers sold Required ratio = 15500:9000 = 31:18
= 4500 * 14/9 = 7000
June: 17) Answer: D
The number of The Hindu newspapers sold = The number of The Hindu newspapers sold in
3000 May = 3000 * 5/2 = 7500
The number of Indian express newspapers sold The number of Indian express newspapers sold
= 6000 in May = 8500 - 5000 = 3500
April: Required sum = 7500 + 3500 = 11000
The number of Indian express newspapers sold
= 3500 18) Answer: C
The number of The Hindu newspapers sold = The number of the Hindu sold in June and July
3500 * 12/7 = 6000 together = 3000 + 5500 = 8500
July: The number of Indian express sold in April and
The number of The Hindu newspapers sold = August together = 3500 + 8500 = 12000
8500 * 11/17 = 5500 Required percentage = (8500 – 12000) / 12000 *
The number of Indian express newspapers sold 100 =350/12 = 29(1/6) % less
= 8500 – 5500 = 3000
August: 19) Answer: B
The number of The Hindu newspapers sold = The number of The Hindu and Indian express
4000 together sold in March = 4500 + 7000 = 11500
The number of Indian express newspapers sold The number of The Hindu and Indian express
= 28000 - (7000 + 3500 + 6000 + 3000) = 8500 together sold in August = 4000 + 8500 = 12500
Required ratio = 11500:12500 = 23:25
20) Answer: D
The profit of The Hindu newspapers sold in June
= (7 – 6) * 3000 = Rs.3000
The profit of Indian express sold in August = (8 – Required difference = 25500 – 3000 = Rs.22500

y = 17, -9
21) Answer: D Therefore, x ≤ y
5x2 – 25x + 30 = 0
5x2 – 10x – 15x + 30 = 0 24) Answer: A
5x(x – 2) – 15(x – 2) = 0 3x2+5x-12=0
(5x – 15)(x – 2) = 0 3x2 + 9x – 4x – 12 = 0
x = 3, 2 3x(x + 3) – 4(x + 3) = 0
y2 - 11y + 30 = 0 (3x-4) (x+3) =0
y2 – 5y – 6y + 30 = 0 x= 1.33, -3
y(y – 5) – 6(y – 5) = 0 4y2-y-14=0
(y – 5)(y – 6) = 0 4y2 – 8y + 7y – 14 = 0
y = 5, 6 4y(y – 2) + 7(y – 2) = 0
Hence, x < y (y - 2) (4y + 7) =0
y= 2, -1.75
22) Answer: C Therefore, relationship can’t be established
x2-20x+96=0
x2-12x-8x+96=0 25) Answer: D
(x-8) (x-12) =0 x2-26x+168=0
x= 8,12 x2 – 14x – 12x + 168 = 0
y2=64 x(x – 14) – 12(x – 14) = 0
y = ±8 (x-14) (x-12) =0
Therefore x ≥ y x= 14,12
y2-21y+90=0
23) Answer: C y2 – 15y – 6y + 90 = 0
x2+21x+108 =0 y(y – 15) – 6(y – 15) = 0
x2+ 12x + 9x + 108 = 0 (y-15) (y-6) =0
x(x + 12) + 9(x + 12) = 0 y=15,6
(x+12) (x+9) =0 Therefore relationship can’t be established
