4. Answer: D State E:
Required percentage = 200/400*100 = 50% Number of general hospitals = 1500 * 28/100 =
420
5. Answer: A Number of specialty hospitals = 420 *4/7 = 240
The total number of sofas manufactured in May Total number of hospitals = 420 + 240 = 660
= 110*2 = 220
The number of foams sofas manufactured in
May = 80*125/100 = 100
The number of spring sofas manufactured in
May = 220-100 = 120
Required ratio = 120:90 = 4:3
Directions (6-10):
6. Answer: C
State A:
Required ratio = 210:240 = 7:8
Number of general hospitals = 1500 * 16/100 =
240
7. Answer: A
Number of specialty hospitals = 240 * 7/5 = 336
Required difference = 675 – (350 + 240) = 675 –
Total number of hospitals = 240 + 336 = 576
590 = 85
State B:
Number of general hospitals = 1500 * 18/100 =
8. Answer: D
270
Number of general hospitals in F = 210 * 9/7 =
Number of specialty hospitals = 270 * 3/2 = 405
270
Total number of hospitals = 270 + 405 = 675
Total number of hospitals in F = 660 + 50 = 710
State C:
Number of specialty hospitals in F = 710 – 270 =
Number of general hospitals = 1500 * 24/100 =
440
360
Number of specialty hospitals = 360 * 5/6 = 300
9. Answer: B
Total number of hospitals = 360 + 300 = 660
Required percentage = 660/300 * 100 = 220%
State D:
Number of general hospitals = 1500 * 14/100 =
10. Answer: A
210
Number of doctors in each hospital in B =
Number of specialty hospitals = 210 * 5/3 = 350
40500/270 = 150
Total number of hospitals = 210 + 350 = 560
Number of persons treated in each general Time taken by A alone to complete the work = 2
hospital in B on each day = 150 * 30 = 4500 * 20 = 40 days
Time taken by C alone to complete the work = 3
11. Answer: B * 20 = 60 days
1500 * (100 + x)/100 * (100 – x + 15)/100 = 1620 1/A + 1/C + 1/D = 1/16
(100 + x) * (115 – x) = 162000/15 1/40 + 1/60 + 1/D = 1/16
11500 - 100x + 115x – x2 = 10800 (3 + 2)/120 + 1/D = 1/16
x2 – 15x – 700 = 0 1/D = 1/16 – 1/24 = (3 – 2)/48 = 1/48 = 48 days
x2 – 35x + 20x – 700 = 0
x(x – 35) + 20(x – 35) = 0 14. Answer: B
x = 35, -20 [(4x * 6) + (4x + 500) * 6]/[(5x * 6) + (5x – 1000) *
x = 35% 6] = 17/18
Loss% percentage at which Praveen sold the (24x + 24x + 3000)/(30x + 30x – 6000) = 17/18
hairdryer = 35 – 15 = 20% (48x + 3000)/(60x – 6000) = 17/18
12 * (4x + 250)/12 * (5x – 500) = 17/18
12. Answer: A (4x + 250)/(5x – 500) = 17/18
Amount invested by A, B and C = Rs.x 72x + 4500 = 85x – 8500
x * 14 * 5/100 + x * ((1 + 25/100)2 – 1) + x * 20 * 13x = 13000
3/100 = 7450 x = Rs.1000
7x/10 + x * ((125/100)2 – 1) + 3x/5 = 7450 Sum of the initial investment of A and B = (4 + 5)
7x/10 + 9x/16 + 3x/5 = 7450 * 1000 = Rs.9000
(56x + 45x + 48x)/80 = 7450
149x = 7450 * 80 15. Answer: D
x = Rs.4000 1/4 * (M – 3) = S – 4
M – 3 = 4S – 16
13. Answer: D M = 4S – 13
Ratio of the time taken by A, B and C = F = M + S – 7 = (4S – 13) + S – 7 = 5S – 20
1/6:1/3:1/4 = 2:4:3 F + M + S = 29 * 3
(1/2x + 1/4x + 1/3x) = 13/240 5S – 20 + 4S – 13 + S = 87
(6 + 3 + 4)/12x = 13/240 10S = 87 + 33
13/12x = 13/240 10S = 120
