Hints & Solutions

1. Solution (3) = –141
Quantity I: Hence, –598 ≤ Quantity ≤ –141
5Z = 132 – 149 Quantity II:
Z = 20/5 = 4 For minimum value m = 3 and n = 10
Quantity II: (3m2n + 2mn2) – (m + n)
After two persons leave and one new person joins = (3 * 9 * 10 + 2 * 3 * 100) – (3 + 10)
the group, change in the total age of the group = = 870 – 13
30 – 2 * 23, i.e., – 16 years = 857
As the average remains the same, so 30 *A2 – 16 And for maximum value m = 6 and n =12
= 29 * A2 (3m2n + 2mn2) – (m + n)
A2 = 16 = (3 * 36 * 12 + 2 * 6 * 144) – (6 + 12)
A = 4, – 4 = 3024 – 18
So, Z ≥ A = 3006
Hence, Quantity I ≥ Quantity II Hence, 857 ≤ Quantity II ≤ 3006
Therefore, Quantity I < Quantity II

22 = 20*12 + 2 = 4200 – 1200 = 3000
91 = 22*22 + 3 Number of books printed by company A in 2012
824 = 91*32 + 5 = (4200 + 3000) * 30/(100 – 30 – 25) = 4800
Therefore 5th term = 824*42 + 7 = 13191 Number of books printed by company B in 2012
Quantity II = (4200 + 3000) * 25/(100 – 30 – 25) = 4000
Ratio of profit share A to that of B = (3000*5 + Similarly, calculating the remaining data:

Number of books printed by company C in 2012
And for maximum value m = 6 and n =12
= 4200
(2m2 + mn2 + 3) + (3m3 – n3)
Number of books printed by company D in 2012
= (2 * 36 + 6 * 144 + 3) + (3 * 216 – 1728)

And, number of female students in dance
academy B in 1999, 2001 and 2004 taken together
= 80 + 360 + 120 = 560
Therefore, ratio = 720: 560 = 9: 7
10. Solution (1)
Sum of number of male students in dance
academy A in 1999, 2003 and 2004 taken
together

12. Solution (4)
Here, number of male students in dance academy
B in 1999 and 2003 taken together
= 300 + 340 = 640
And, number of female students in dance
academy A in 2000 and 2003 taken together

Total number of toffees = 225 + 75 = 300
Selling price of 225 toffees = 225 x 12 = Rs.2700
Profit = 20%
Hence, CP = (5/6) x 2700 = Rs. 2250
This CP is of 300 toffees
=> CP of 1 toffee = 2250/300 = Rs.7.5
For 10% profit, SP = (11/10) x 7.5 = Rs. 8.25
MP of 1 toffee = Rs.12

The logic in (i) is: Logic in the series is:
14 *0.5 –1 = 6 504 * (10/2) = 2520
6 *1 + 2 = 8 2520 * (10/3) = 8400
8 *1.5 – 3 = 9 8400 * (10/4) = 21000 (Not 10500)
9 *2 + 4 = 22 21000 * (10/5) = 42000
22 *2.5 – 5 = 50 42000 * (10/6) = 70000
So, a = 28 70000 * (10/7) = 100000
The logic in (ii) is:
11 + 13 + 1 = 13 26. Solution (3)
13 + 23 + 1 = 22 The logic for the given series:
22 + 33 + 1 = 50 712 – 71 = 705
50 + 43 + 1 = 115 705 – 62 = 669
115 + 53 + 1 = 241 669 – 53 = 544
So, b = 121 544 – 44 = 288
The logic in (iii) is: 288 – 35 = 45
(10 + 1)*1 = 11 45 – 26 = –19
(11 + 2)*2 = 26 So, wrong term = 663
(26 + 3)*3 = 87
(87 + 4)*4 = 364 27. Solution (1)
(364 + 5)*5 = 1845 245 + 172 = 245 + 289 = 534
So, c = 400 534 – 162 = 534 – 256 = 278
278 + 152 = 278 + 225 = 503
23. Solution (3)
503 – 142 = 503 – 196 = 307
Logic for number series I:

B% of (290 + 960) = 225 + 25 From (i) and (v)
B% of 1250 = 250 b + 2 = 3b – 6
B = (250 * 100)/1250 => 3b – b = 2 + 6
B = 20 => 2b = 8
[82 + 162] ÷ 8 – 42 = C => b = 8/2
[64 + 256] ÷ 8 – 16 = C => b = 4
320 ÷ 8 – 16 = C From (v)

Quantity II: Effective speed when both are travelling towards
Let number = X each other = [(1200/x) + 25] km/h
ATQ, Time after which they meet =
(X – 12) = 11X/17 (48/60) = 52/[(1200/x) + 25]
6X/17 = 12 (1200/x) = 65 – 25
X = 34 x = 30 minutes
Hence Quantity I > Quantity II.
36. Solution (2)
34. Solution () Distance travelled by P = 150 * (48/360) = 20
From I alone: Similarly,
Let f(x) = x3 – 7x2 – 49x + 55 Persons Distance travelled (in km)
Given: f(x) is completely divisible by (x – a)
P 20
Thus, (x – a) is a factor of f(x) and f(a) = 0
Put a = 1 Q 35
f(a) = 13 – 7 * 12 – 49 * 1 + 55 = 0
Hence, a = 1 is a possibility and (x – 1) is a factor R 32
of f(x) S 18
f(x) = x3 – 7x2 – 49x + 55
f(x) = x2(x – 1) – 6x(x – 1) – 55(x – 1) T 45
f(x) = (x – 1)(x2 – 6x – 55)
f(x) = (x – 1)(x2 – 11x + 5x – 55) Let speed of Q, S and T is 7x, 4x and 6x
f(x) = (x – 1)(x – 11)(x + 5) respectively.
Therefore, possible values of a = 1, 11 and –5 Sum of time taken = (35/7x) + (18/4x) + (45/6x)
Since a > 0 = 3.4
Possible values of 'a' = 1 and 11. (17/x) = 3.4
Statement I alone is not sufficient. x=5
From II alone: Difference between the speeds of person S and T
HCF of '6a' and '8a' = 22 = 6x – 4x = 2x = 10 km/h

37. Solution (3) Amount that was to be received by Supriya with

Let speed of boat in still water and speed of correct rate of interest = 15000 +
stream be 4x km/h and x km/h respectively. (15000*12*2)/100 = Rs. 18600
Downstream speed of boat = 4x + x = 5x km/h Amount received by Priya with shuffled rate of
Upstream speed of boat = 4x – x = 3x km/h interest = 12000*(1 + 12/100)2 = Rs. 15052.80
According to the question: Amount received by Supriya with shuffled rate of
d/3x = 0.5 interest = 15000 + (15000*10*2)/100 = Rs.
d = 1.5x ......... (1) 18000
(d + 27)/5x = 1.2 Amount surplus to Priya = 15052.80 – 14520 =
(d + 27) = 6x ....... (2) Rs. 532.80
From (1) and (2): Amount deficit to Supriya = 18600 – 18000 = Rs.
1.5x + 27 = 6x 600
x=6
d = 1.5x = 9 40. Solution ()
Speed of boat in still water = 4x = 24 km/h Here, (P – 7) + (Q – 7) + (R – 7) = 31
Speed of stream = x = 6 km/h P + Q + R = 52
Distance covered downstream = d + 27 = 36 km Q is the eldest and P is 4 years younger to R.
Distance covered upstream = d = 9 km Then,
Hence, option (3) is correct. Q>R>P
P=R–4
38. Solution (4) The difference between the ages of Q and R is
Ratio of the investments of P: Q: R = more than 3 but less than 7. Then,
4000:7500:9000 = 8:15:18 7>Q–R>3
Ratio of the time period of their investment = Case 1: when Q = R + 4
12:12:6 = 2:2:1 Then, R – 4 + R + 4 + R = 52
Hence, ratio of the profit earned by P: Q: R = (8 3R = 52
x 2): (15 x 2): (18 x 1) = 8:15:9 R = 52/3 (but present ages of P, Q and R are
Let the profit shares of P, Q and R be 8t, 15t and integers)
9t respectively. So, this case is invalid.
According to the question: Case 2: when Q = R + 5
=> 15t – 9t = 786 R – 4 + R + 5 + R = 52
=> 6t = 786 3R = 51
=> t = 131 R = 17
Hence, P's profit share = 8t = 8 x 131 = Rs.1048 Case 3: when Q = R + 6
R – 4 + R + 6 + R = 52
39. Solution (1) 3R = 50
Amount that was to be received by Priya with R = 50/3 (but present ages of P, Q and R are
correct rate of interest = 12000*(1 + 10/100)2 = integers)
Rs. 14520 So, this case is invalid.
So, only one possible age of R, i.e., 17 years.
