Part filled by pipe A in 1 minute = 1/60

Suppose the tank is filled in x minutes or A = 30 which is the set of students who have enrolled for
Then, To fill the tanker from empty state, B is used for x/2 English and includes those who have enrolled for both the

Let the number of questions attempted by Mohan with correct Let the total work be 48
answers be x. Then, total marks obtained for correct answers = Efficiency of
x*1=x A+B = 4/day…… (i)
And the number of questions attempted by Mohan with B+C = 3/day……..(ii)
incorrect answers = 30 – x. Now, A works for 5 days, B works for 7 days and C works for 13
Total marks deducted for incorrect answers = (30 – x)/4 days and completes the total work of 48.
Now, x – (30-x)/4 = 13.75 This can be rewritten as
Or, 4x + x = 13.75 + 30 = 55 + 30 = 85 or, 5x = 85 A+B for 5 days + B+C for 2 days + C for 11 days completes the
x = 85/5 = 17 total work of 48
Incorrect answers = 30 – 17 = 13 Now, A+B’s 5 days work = 20
B+C’s 2 days work = 6
32. C Therefore, 20+6+ C’s 11 days work = 48
Let the monthly income be Rs. X C’s 11 days work = 48-26 = 22
Then, (x * 13)/100 = 305500 C’s efficiency = 2/day.. (iii)
x = (305500 * 100)/13 = Rs. 2350000 From (i),(ii),(iii)
Now, total monthly amount invested by Mr. Sharma = 29 + 9 + C’s efficiency = 2
13 = 51% B’s Efficiency = 1
So, 51% of 2350000= (51*2350000)/100 = Rs. 1198500 A’s efficiency = 3

35. B. The cow can graze the area covered by the circle of
radius 19m initially, as the length of the rope is 19m.Area of a Relative speed = d/4+2d/7=15d/28 km/hr
circle = π * (radius)2 Now distance between these trains at 7 am =d−d/2=d/2 km
Therefore, the initial area that the cow can graze =22/7 * 192 sq Hence, time = (d/2) / (15d/28) = 14/15×60=56

B is the correct answer. 42. (3) Let the amount invested by company P in May be x.
Then
125% of 18 = 112.5% of x
x = 20 Lakh
36. Option(A) is correct 43. (4) Required ratio = 3*(100+10)/2*(100+17.5) = 66 : 47
