5. Stay Positive: Maintain a positive attitude, even when facing difficult concepts or a challenging
mock test. A positive mindset will help you overcome obstacles more easily.
6. Time Management: Learn to manage your time during the exam. Don't get stuck on a single
question; move on and return to it later if necessary. Allocate time wisely to different sections.
7. Believe in Yourself: You've put in the effort, and you are capable. Believe in your abilities and stay
confident throughout the exam.
Remember, success is not just about the destination but also about the journey. Embrace the learning

Let the length of train 'O' = 'd' metres X 35 = 910metres
Then, according to the question, So, length of the platform = 910 - 420 =
{d/(10y + 5)} = 15 490metres
So, d = 150y + 75 Hence, option e.
Also, {(d + 100)/10y} = 22
20. Average of lengths of trains 'P', 'Q' and 'R' = (675
Or, 220y = d + 100
+ 420 + 375) ÷ 3 = 490metres
So, d = 220y - 100
So, length of train 'F' = 490 + 2 = 492metres
So, 150y + 75 = 220y - 100
Length of each coach of train 'F' = (492/12) =
Or, 70y = 175
41metres
So, y = 2.5
New length of train 'F' = 492 - 41 X 2 + 22 =
So, speed of train 'O' = 10 X 2.5 = 25 m/s
432metres
So, d = 150 X 2.5 + 75 = 450metres So, speed of train 'F' = 432 ÷ 24 = 18 m/s
So, time taken by train '0' to cross train 'S' = Hence, option c.
(450 + 440) ÷ 25 = 35.6 seconds
Hence, option d. 21. Quantity I:
Since there are four numbers in the series,
18. E = 72 therefore, the average of all the four numbers
So, time taken for the journey = {(72 X 0.375) ÷ will be mean of 2nd and 3rd number.
30} + {(72 X 0.625) ÷ 36} Let the 2nd and 3rd number be 2x and 3x,
= (27/30) + (45/25) = 2.7 hours respectively.
Hence, option a. According to the question,
(2x + 3x)/2 = 3x – 10

Or, x = 10/0.5 = 20 Let the total work be 60 units. {LCM (12 and
Therefore, 2nd number = 2x = 40 15)}
3rd number = 3x = 60 Efficiency of A = (75/375) = (1/5) X total
1st number = 40 – 20 = 20 efficiency of all three working together
4th number = 60 + 20 = 80 Let the efficiency of B, C and A be 'a' units/day,
Required difference = 80 – 20 = 60 'b' units/day and 'n' units/day, respectively.
Quantity II: So, 5n = (a + b + n)
Sum of the ages of all the members = 39 × 5 = Or, 4n = a + b ....... (i)
195 years
And, (a + n) = (60/15) = 4........ (ii)
Let the age of youngest member and 2nd eldest
Also, (n + b) = (60/12) = 5........... (iii)
member be 2x years and 5x years respectively.
On, adding equation (ii) and (iii), we have,
Therefore, age of the eldest member = (2x + 52)
years 2n + a + b = 9
Age of one of the members = (2x + 4) years From, equation (i), we have,
2x + 2x + 4 + 5x + 2x + 52 = 195 – 40 Or, 2n + 4n = 9
Or, 11x = 99 Or, 6n = 9
Or, x = 9 years So, n = (3/2)
Therefore, age of the eldest member = 2x + 52 = Efficiency of B alone = 4 - (3/2) = (5/2)
70 years units/day
So Quantity-I < Quantity-II Required time = 60 ÷ (5/2) = 24 days
Hence, option b. So, Z = 24
22. Quantity I: So, Quantity I = 24
Final selling price of the shirt = 1600 + 50 = Rs. Quantity II:
1,650 Let the total work be 120 units. {LCM 12, 20 and
Price of the shirt before final discount = 1650 ÷ (120/11)}
0.75 = Rs. 2,200 So, efficiency of 'A' = 120 ÷ 12 = 10 units/day
Marked price of the article = 2200 + 120 = Rs. Efficiency of 'B' = 120 ÷ 20 = 6 units/day
2,320 Combined efficiency of 'A', 'B' and 'C' = 120 ÷
So, a= {(2320 - 1600) ÷ 1600} X 100 = 45 (120/11) = 11 units/day
So, (a + 3) = 48 So, efficiency of 'C' = 10 + 6 - 11 = 5 units/day
So, time taken by 'C' to destroy the work = 120
Marked price of the pan = 1250 X 1.48 = Rs.
÷ 5 = 24 days
1,850
So, N = 24
Selling price of the pan = 1850 X 0.8 = Rs. 1,480
So, Quantity II = 24
So, profit earned on selling the pan = 1480 -
Quantity III:
1250 = Rs. 230
Let the total work be 20 units. {LCM (10 and 4)}
So, quantity I = Rs. 230
So, efficiency of 'A' = (20/10) = '2' units/day
Quantity II:
So, efficiency of 'B' = (2/2) = '1' unit/day
Ratio of profit shares of 'Tara' and 'Sara' = (b X Efficiency of 'B' and 'C' together = (20/4) = '5'
15): {(b + 60) X 18} units/day
= 15b:(18b + 1080) So, efficiency of 'C' = '5 - 1' = '4' units/day
According to the statement, So, time taken by 'C' to finish the work alone =
18b + 1080 = 15b X 1.5 (20/4) = '5' days
Or, 18b + 1080 = 22.5b So, required value = 5P = 5 X 5 = 25 days
Or, 4.5b = 1080 So, Quantity III = 25
So, b = 1080 ÷ 4.5 = 240 So, Quantity I = Quantity II < Quantity III
So, quantity II = Rs. 240 Hence, option d.

Quantity I: But we cannot determine the value of the
average weight of a student in the class.
8 X 20 - 5 X 16 = 160 - 80 = 80

So, Quantity III = 112 respectively - [statement II]
Therefore, Quantity I < Quantity II < Quantity III Then, total weight of all students in the class
Hence, option d. = 35 X (y + 2) + 40 X y = 35y + 70 + 40y = 2320
25. Let the number of teachers in the class = 'x' Or, 75y + 70 = 2320
Then, number of students in the class = (x + 5) Or, 75y = 2320 - 70 = 2250
Statement I: So, y = 2250 ÷ 75 = 30
According to the statement, The average weight of a student in the class is
(x - 3) :(x + 5 + 4) = 8:11 30 kg
Or, 11x - 33 = 8x + 72 So, the data in statements I and II together are
Or, 3x = 72 + 33 = 105 sufficient to answer the question.
So, x = 105 ÷ 3 = 35 Combining data in statements II and III:

Statement II: So, 2xy + 10y = 2320 - 80 = 2240
So, y(x + 5) = 1120
Let the average weight of a student in the class

= 'p' kg Or, 0.85x = 153
Let the average weight of a student in the class So, x = 153 ÷ 0.85 = 180

Length of the platform = z+ 135 = 320 + 135 =
Amount received from scheme ‘J’ = 4x + 2.4x =
455metres
Rs. 6.4x
So, time taken by the train to cross the platform
For I:
= (390 + 455) ÷ 26 = 32.5 seconds
According to the question,
Hence, option a.
8.65x = 1730
34. According to the question, Or, x = 1730/8.65 = 200
(z2 - 1600) + (z2 + 4400) = 2 X (50z + 19000) Therefore, 6.4x = Rs. 1280
Or, 2z2 + 2800 = 100z + 38000 Therefore, I is true.
Or, 2z2 – 100z - 35200 = 0 For II:
Or, z2 – 50z - 17600 = 0 8.65x = 4325
Or, z2 – 160z + 110z - 17600 = 0 Or, x = 4325/8.65 = 500
Or, z (z - 160) + 110(z - 160) = 0 Therefore, 6.4x = Rs. 3200
Or, (z + 110) (z- 160) = 0 Therefore, II is true
Or, z= -110 or 160 For III:
Case 1: At z = -110 8.65x = 1640
Income of 'P' = z2 - 1600 = 12100 - 1600 = Rs. Or, x = 1640/8.65 = 189.59
10,500 Therefore, 6.4x = Rs. 1213
Income of 'Q' = 50z + 19000 = -5500 + 19000 = Therefore, III is false.
Rs. 13,500 Hence, option b.
Income of 'R' = z2 + 4400 = 12100 + 4400 = Rs.
36. Distance travelled in m hours = a×m km
16,500
Distance travelled in 5 hours = 0.8a× 5 = 4a km
Since, income of none of the persons is a perfect
Distance travelled in the last stage = (0.8a + 4)
cube, therefore this case is not possible
(m + 3) km
Case 2: At z= 160
According to the question,
Income of 'P' = z2 - 1600 = 25600 - 1600 = Rs.
(0.8a + 4)(m + 3) – 0.8am – 0.6 × 4a = 20
24,000
Or, 4m + 12 = 20
Income of 'Q' = 50z + 19000 = 8000 + 19000 =
Or, m = 2 hours
Rs. 27,000 (perfect cube)
Therefore, a= 90/2 = 45 km/hr
Income of 'R' = z2 + 4400 = 25600 + 4400 = Rs.
Required value of m = 2 hours
30,000
Hence, option b.
This case is possible.
Now, Savings of 'Q' = 0.4 X 27000 = Rs. 10,800 37. Since, M's mother has no sisters. So, M's aunt in
Expenditure of 'Q' = 27000 - 10800 = Rs. 16,200 his paternal aunt.
Now, (20/9)th of savings of 'Q' = (20/9) X 10800 The 5 members in the family are: 'M', M's father,

Savings of 'P' = 24000 - 14400 = Rs. 9,600 Let the present age of 'M' = 'x' years
Sum of the savings of 'P' and 'R' = 2 X 10800 = 3 years ago from now, age of 'M' = (x - 3) years

Savings of 'R' = 21600 - 9600 = Rs. 12,000 4 X (x - 3) = (4x - 12) years
Expenditure of 'R' = 30000 - 12000 = Rs. 18,000 Present age of M's grandfather = 4x - 12 + 3 =
Expenditure of 'R' = Rs. 18,000 (4x - 9) years

So, x = 68.4 ÷ 3.8 = 18 Upstream speed of boat I = 20 - 7 = 13 km/h
Therefore, present ages of 'M', M's mother and Downstream speed boat I = 20 + 7 = 27 km/h
M's grandfather is 18 years, 42 years and 63 The difference between upstream speed of

Sum of present ages of M's mother and M's aunt √(a - 10) = 13 - 11

Upstream speed of boat H = d/5 = 6.4 hours

For a boat: Stream speed = (downstream New quantity of mixture = 20% of 40 + 8+

So, (d - 6)/7= (d/2.2 - d/5)/2 Hence, this option is not possible.

d = 55 New quantity of mixture = 20% of 60 + 6+
Stream speed = (55 - 6)/7 = 7 km/h 40% of 80 = 50
Upstream speed of boat H = 55/5 = 11 km/h Then, remaining quantity of water in jar C=

Hence, this option is possible. 137.5 * (2b - 34) = 311 - 2b
From option 3: 275b - 4675 = 311 - 2b
New quantity of mixture = 20% of 50 + 10 + 277b = 4986
25% of 60 = 35 < 48 b = 18
Hence, this option is not possible. a = 34 - 18 => a = 16
From option 4: p = 8.75 * 16 => p = 140
New quantity of mixture = 20% of 80 + 8 + q = 6.75 * 18 + 13.5 => q = 135
30% of 50 = 39 < 48 Train J is 4 meters longer than train H. Then,
