fetched Rs 24 more. Find the sum.
A. 1500
B. 1200
C. 1300
D. 1600
Ans - B
2 years ,Rs 24 more
1 years , 24/ 2, ie 12 more
1 % of P = 12 (since the rate increased by 1%)
p * 1/100 = 12
P = 1200
2. Three partners A, B, C invest a total sum of Rs,114000. At the end of the year A gets Rs 6000 and B gets
5000 and C gets Rs 8000 as profit. Find the average amount invested by A and C.
A. 46677
B. 42000.
C. 53000.
D. None
Ans - B
Profits of A,B &C is 6000,5000, 8000 rupees
Ratio of their profits is,
A:B:C =6:5:8
Investment of A,B,C be
6x,5x,8x
6x+5x+8x=114000
=>x=6000
Average amount invested by A &C is 6000/2 *14 =Rs.42000
3. A boatman can take the same time to row6.5km downstream and 3.5km upstream. His speed in still water
2.5 km/hr. The speed of the stream is.
A. 0.75 km/hr
B. 2.5 km/hr
C. 1.5km/hr
D. 7.5km/hr
Ans - A
Given that the speed in still water = 2.5 km/hr
Let the speed of the stream be ‘x; km/hr
speed in upstream = (2.5 – x)km/hr
Then time taken to cover 6.5 km downstream = 6.5 / (2.5+x)
Then time taken to cover 3.5 km upstream = 3.5 / (2.5 – x)
6.5 / (2.5 + x) = 3.5 / (2.5 – x)
6.5 (2.5 – x) = 3.5 (2.5 + x)
16.25 – 6.5x = 8.75 + 3.5x
10 x = 7.5
x = 0.75 km/hr
The speed of the stream is 0.75 km/h
4. The average of nine numbers is 20.6. The average of three of them is 26.1, while the average of another
three of these number is 15.2. What is the average of the remaining three numbers?
A. 21
B. 20.5
C. 21.5
D. 35.75
Ans - (b) Total sum of the 9 numbers
= 9 × 20.6 = 185.4
sum of 3 numbers
= 3 × 26.1 = 78.3
sum of other 3 numbers
= 3 × 15.2 = 45.6
Then, sum of remaining 3 numbers
= 185.4 – (78.3 + 45.6) = 61.5
Average of remaining 3 numbers
61.5/3 = 20.5.
5. If 80% of a number added to 360 gives the number itself then the number is
A. 1200
B. 2000
C. 1600
D. 1800
Ans - (d) Let the number be x.
Then, 80% of x + 360 = x
⇒ 20% of x = 360 ⇒ x = 1800.
6. A is twice as efficient at B, who is thrice as efficient as C. If C alone can complete the task in 30 days, then
the how many days can they together complete the task?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 5
D. 6
Ans - (a) Ratio of efficiencies of A, B and C =
A:B:C
6:3:1
Now, C can alone complete the work in 30 days.
Then, total work = 30 × 1 = 30 units.
Total time taken by A, B and C working
together = 30 / 10 = 3 days.
7. The ages of two sisters differ by 32 years. 12 years ago, the elder one was 7 times as old as the younger
one. What are their present ages of the elder person
A. 46.9
B. 49.3
C. 42.7
D. 45.4
Ans - B
Let's take the present age of the elder person = x
and the present age of the younger person = x – 32
(x – 12) = 7*(x-32-12)
=> x – 12 = 7x – 308
=> 6x = 296
=> x = 49years 3months
8. In a two–digit number, the digit at the unit’s place is 1 less than twice the digit at the ten’s place. If the
digits at unit’s and ten’s place are interchanged, the difference between the new and the original number is
less than the original number by 20. The original number is
A. 47
B. 59
C. 35
D. 23
Ans - A
Ten’s digit = x
Unit’s digit = 2x – 1
Original number = 10x + (2x – 1) = 12x – 1
New number = 10 (2x – 1) + x
= 20x – 10 + x = 21x – 10
(21x – 10) – (12x + 1) = 12x – 1 – 20
9x – 9 = 12x – 21
3x = 12 ⇒ x = 4
Original number = 12x – 1 = 12 × 4 – 1 = 47
9. A container whose capacity is 60 l contains milk and water in the ratio 3 : 2. How much quantity of the
mixture should be replaced with pure milk so that in the final mixture, ratio of milk to water is 7 : 3?
A. 22 l
B. 20 l
C. 15 l
D. 17 l
Ans - C
Solution:
In 60 l of mixture, milk = 3/5 * 60 = 36 l, so water = 24 l
Let x litres of mixture is replaced
So
Remaining Milk after replacement is = 36 – (3/5)*x + x = 36 + 2x/5
So (36 + 2x/5)/60 = 7/10
Solve, x = 15 l
10. The area of a rectangular field is 25000 m2 and the ratio of its length and breadth is 5 : 2. Find the cost of
the wire required to fence around it at the rate of ` 25/m.
A. 17500
B. 18000
C. 18225
D. 15875
Ans - (a) Let the length and breadth of the
rectangular field be 5x and 2x respectively.
Then, 5x × 2x = 25000
⇒ x2= 2500 ⇒ x = 50 m.
l = 5x = 250 m and breadth = 2x = 100 m.
Now, perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 (l + b) = 2 (350) m = 700 m.
The cost of fencing at the rate ` 25/m
= 25 × 700 = 17500.
11. The average weight of A, B and C is 48 kg. If the average weight A and B is 42.5 kg and that B and C is 40.5
kg. Then the weight of B (in kg) is
A. 28.5
B. 22
C. 20.5
D. 25
Ans - (b) The sum of weights of A, B and C
= 48 × 3 = 144 kg.
The sum of weights of A and B
= 42.5 × 2 = 85 kg.
And, the sum of the weights of B and C
= 40.5 × 2 = 81 kg.
The weight of B
= (A + B) + (B + C) – (A + B + C)
= 85 + 81 – 144 = 22 kg.
12. The ratio of four positive numbers is 5 : 8 : 12 : 18 and their L.C.M. is 1440, then the greatest number is:
A. 72
B. 24
C. 48
D. 36
Ans - (a) Let the four numbers of 5x, 8x, 12x
and 18x respectively.
Then, L.C.M. of 5x, 8x, 12x and 18x = 360x
⇒ 360x = 1440 ⇒ x = 4
The greatest number = 18x = 72
13. The ratio of monthly income to the expenditure of a family is 14 : 11. If the monthly savings of the family is
13,500, then the monthly income of the family is:
A. 60,000
B. 63,000
C. 72,000
D. 80,000
Ans - (b) Let family’s monthly income and expenditure be 14x and 11x respectively.
Then, their savings = income – expenditure
⇒ 13500 = 3x ⇒ x = 4500
The monthly income of the family
= 14x = 14 × 4500 = 63000.
14. A box contains 25p and 10p coins in the ratio 6 : 5 amounting to 164, then the 25p coins are:
A. 492
B. 456
C. 464
D. 424
Ans - (a) Let 25p and 10p coins be 6x and 5x respectively.
Then, 6x × 1/4 + 5x × 1/10 = 164
⇒ x = 82
25p coins = 6 × 82 = 492.

16. What is the difference between Simple Interest and Compound Interest on Rs 70,000 ar 20% rare of
interest in one and a half year if Compound Interest is compounded half yearly.
A. Rs 2070
B. Rs 2160
C. Rs 2170
D. Rs 2060
Option C
Solution:
SI on 1 (1/2) year= 20*1.5=30%
SI on 1 (1/2) years of compounded half yearly make rate half yearly and time double
r=10%=1/10 ; t=3 years
10——11
10——11
10——11
1000—-1331
r=331/1000*100=33.1
33.1%of 70,000 = 2170
17. After selling an article, it is found that profit is 20% more than the cost price of article. If the cost price is
increased by 10% keeping the selling price same, then what percent of selling price is profit?
A. 6 2/3%
B. 7 2/3%
C. 5%
D. 8 1/3%
Ans - D
Solution:
Let CP = Rs 100, then profit = 20/100 × 100 = Rs 20, and SP = Rs 120
Now New CP = 110/100 × 100 = Rs 110, SP = Rs 120, so profit = 120-110 = Rs 10
Required % = 10/120 × 100 = 25/3 %
18. Find the least number by which 175760 be devided to make it a perfect cube.

B. 20
C. 100
D. 5
Ans - A

To make perfect cube, it must be divided by 2 x 5 = 10
19. The differences between two numbers is 18. If four times the second numbers is less than three times the
first number by 18, then what is the sum of these two numbers?
A. 100
B. 80
C. 86
D. 90
Ans - D
Let first number = p
and second number = q
According to the question,
p - q = 18 ................................(i)
and 3p - 4q = 18.....................(ii)
On multiplying Eq .(i) by 3 and subtracting Eq. (ii) from it,we get
3p - 3q = 54
3p - 4q = 18
q = 36
On putting the value of q in Eq, (i) we get
p = 18 + q
⇒ p = 18 + 36 = 54
∴ Required sum = p + q = 54 + 36 = 90
