Explanations
Q.1) Explanation:

Explanation-
Let number of students in examination halls P and Q be x and y, respectively.
Then, according to the first condition.
x-10 = y + 10
ð x - y = 20 ……… (i)
And according to the second condition,
X + 20 = 2 (y – 20)
ð X + 20 = 2y-40
ð X - y = -60……(ii)
On subtracting Eq (ii) from Eq (i), we get
-y + 2y = 20 + 60
=> y = 80
On putting the value of y in eq (i), we get
X – 80 = 20
Or, x = 100
Hence, number of students in examination halls P and q are 100 and 80, respectively.
Q.2) Explanation:

Explanation-
Old price of wheat Rs. 24 per kg
New price of wheat = Rs. 27 per kg
Therefore, Increase in price of wheat = Rs. (27-24) = Rs. 3
Now, reduction in consumption, so as to kept the expenditure fixed = (3/27) 100 = 11.1%
Q.3) Explanation:
Explanation-
Series pattern:
656 – 224 = 432
432 – 112 = 320
320 – 56 = 264
264 – 28 = 236
236 – 14 = 222
Q.4) Explanation:

Explanation-
18 + 0.8 = 18.8
18.8 + 0.8 × 2 = 18.8 + 1.6 = 20.4
20.4 + 1.6 × 2 = 20.4 + 3.2 = 23.6
23.6 + 3.2 × 2 = 23.6 + 6.4 = 30
30 + 6.4 × 2 = 30 + 12.8 = 42.8
Q.5) Explanation:

Explanation-
10 × ½ + 1 = 6
6×1+2=8
8 × 3/2 + 3 = 15
15 × 2 + 4 = 34
34 × 5/2 + 5 = 90
Q.6) Explanation:

Explanation-
12 × 9 – 15 = 93
93 × 8 – 14 = 730
730 × 7 – 13 = 5097
5097 × 6 – 12 = 30570
30570 × 5 – 11 = 152839
Q.7) Explanation:

Explanation-
According to the question,

(P × 8 × 2)/ (12 × 100) = {(P × 15 × 5)/(12 × 10)} – 129
ð 32P = 75P – 154800
ð 43P = 154800
ð P = Rs. 3600

Q.8) Explanation:

Explanation-
Let the total amount invested by A, B and C together be Rs. 10000.
Amount invested by A = Rs. 1/5 × 100 = Rs. 20
i.e., A = 20 ---(1)
Amount invested by B and C together = 100 – 20 = Rs. 80
i.e., B + C = 80 ---(2)

Given, B contributes as much as A and C together.
i.e., B = A + C ---(3)
Using equations (1), (2) an (3), we get
B – C = 20 ---(4)
On adding equations (4) an (2), we have,
2B = 100 => B = Rs. 50
Hence, C = Rs. 30
Now, ratio of investments of A, B and C = 20:50:30 = 2:5:3
Given, total profit = Rs. 5200
So, Profit shared by C = 3/10 × 5200 = Rs.1560
Q.9) Explanation:

Explanation-
Let x men left after 5 days.
Hence, w/(20 × 11) = w/(20 -x) × 55/3
=> (20 – x) × 55/3 = 20 × 11

=> 1100/3 – 55x/3 = 220
=> 1100/3 – 220 = 55x/3
=> 440/3 = 55x/3
=> x = 8 men
Hence, 8 men left after 5 days.
Q.10) Explanation:
Explanation-
Total number of candidates who appeared for CS and ES together in year 2010
= 76000 + 40000 = 116000
So, total number of candidates who appeared for CS and ES together in year 2011 = 125/100 × 116000 =
145000
Number of female candidates appeared for both the exams together in year 2011 = 2/5
Total number of female candidates appeared for both exams together in year 2011 = 2/5 × 145000 = 58000
Q.11) Explanation:

Explanation-
Number of graduates who had appeared for ES in year 2010
= 60% of 40000
= 60/100 × 40000
= 24000
Number of graduates who had appeared for CS in year 2010
= 50% of 76000
= 50/100 × 76000
= 38000
Hence, required ratio = 24/38 = 12/19 = 12:19
Q.12) Explanation:

Explanation-
Total number of graduates who appeared for ES in year 2008
= 50% of 36000
= 50/100 × 36000
= 18000
Total number of graduates who appeared for CS in year 2008
= 60% of 60000
= 60/100 × 60000
= 36000
Hence, required percentage = 18000/36000 × 100 = 50%
Q.13) Explanation:

Explanation-
Average number of candidates appeared for CS in the years 2007 and 2008
= (58000 + 60000)/2 = 118000/2 = 59000
Average number of candidates appeared for ES in the years 2007 and 2008
= (30000 + 36000)/2 = 66000/2 = 33000
Hence, required difference = (59000 – 33000) = 26000
Q.14) Explanation:

Explanation-
Time taken by A to build a structure = 8 days
Time taken by B to break a structure = 3 days
Work done in 6 days = 6/8 – 2/3 = (18 – 16)/24 = 1/12
Remaining work = 1 – 1/12 = 11/12
Hence, required time = 8 × 11/12 = 22/3 days
Q.15) Explanation:
Explanation-
Let distance between points A and B be d km and speed of car be x km/h.
From condition 1, x = d/5 ---(1)
and from condition 2, (x – 15) = d/6 ---(2)
Now, putting the value of x in equation (2) from equation (1), we have
d/5 – 15 = d/6 => d/5 – d/6 = 15 => (6d – 5d)/30 = 15 => d/30 = 15
=> d = 15 × 30 = 450 km
Hence, distance between points A and B = 450 km.
Q.16) Explanation:

Explanation-
Total number of cards in bag = 63 (1, 2, 3, …, 63)
Total number of even number of cards = 31 (2, 4, …, 62)
Hence, required probability

= 31C₂/63C₂
= 31!/(2! × 29!) ÷ 63!/(2! × 61!)
= (31 × 30)/(1 × 2) ÷ (63 × 62)/(1 × 2)
= (31 × 30)/(63 × 62)
= 30/(63 × 2)
= 15/63
= 5/21
Q.17) Explanation:
Detailed solution:
I. 6x² - 15x + 9 = 0
6x² - 9x – 6x + 9 = 0
x= = 1.50 and 1
II. 15y² - 26y + 11 = 0
15y² - 15y – 11y + 11 = 0

x≥y
Hence, option C is correct
Q.18) Explanation:
Detailed solution:
I. 21x² - 23x + 6 = 0
21x² - 14x – 9y + 6 = 0
II. 6y² - 7y + 2 = 0
6y² - 4y – 3y + 2 = 0
The relation cannot be established
Hence, option E is correct
Q.19) Explanation:
Detailed solution:
I. 42x² - 23x + 3 = 0
42x² - 14x – 9x + 3 = 0
II. 2y² - 11y + 15 = 0
2y² - 6y – 5y + 15 = 0
x<y
Hence, option D is correct
Q.20) Explanation:
Detailed solution:
x2 + 29x + 198=0
x2 + 18x + 11x + 198=0
x(x + 18) + 11(x + 18)=0

x= -18, -11
3y2 - 55y + 200=0
3y2 - 15y - 40y + 200=0
3y(y - 5) - 40(y - 5)=0
y= +5, +40/3
y= +5, +13.33
Hence, x < y

Let number of students in examination halls P and Q be x and y, respectively.

Then, according to the first condition.

On subtracting Eq (ii) from Eq (i), we get

Old price of wheat Rs. 24 per kg

New price of wheat = Rs. 27 per kg

Therefore, Increase in price of wheat = Rs. (27-24) = Rs. 3

656 – 224 = 432

432 – 112 = 320

18.8 + 0.8 × 2 = 18.8 + 1.6 = 20.4

20.4 + 1.6 × 2 = 20.4 + 3.2 = 23.6

23.6 + 3.2 × 2 = 23.6 + 6.4 = 30

30 + 6.4 × 2 = 30 + 12.8 = 42.8

According to the question,

ð 32P = 75P – 154800

Let the total amount invested by A, B and C together be Rs. 10000.

Amount invested by A = Rs. 1/5 × 100 = Rs. 20

i.e., A = 20 ---(1)

Amount invested by B and C together = 100 – 20 = Rs. 80

i.e., B + C = 80 ---(2)

Using equations (1), (2) an (3), we get

On adding equations (4) an (2), we have,

2B = 100 => B = Rs. 50

Now, ratio of investments of A, B and C = 20:50:30 = 2:5:3

Given, total profit = Rs. 5200

So, Profit shared by C = 3/10 × 5200 = Rs.1560

Let x men left after 5 days.

Hence, w/(20 × 11) = w/(20 -x) × 55/3

=> (20 – x) × 55/3 = 20 × 11

=> 1100/3 – 220 = 55x/3

=> 440/3 = 55x/3

Hence, 8 men left after 5 days.

= 76000 + 40000 = 116000
