Solution

Given,

28x+60 + 48y+32.5 = 2132.50

7x+12y=510 --- (equation 1)

36x-55+57y-52.5 = 2397.50

12x+19y = 835--- (equation 2)

We get, x = 30 & y = 25

So, Soy protein =

Also since the 2 discount % are given in average,

So in soy protein

SP = 15.5x+22y+49.2 = 465+550+49.2 = 1064.2

In Soy Protein 2nd discount = (32.5*2) – 50 = 65-50 = 15%

Similarly calculating for other products we get,

Protein Selling Discount % Discount % Mark-up %
Product
Price (1) (2)

Soy Protein 1064.2 50% 15% 300%

Whey Isolate 916.8 20% 25% 60%

Casein Protein 1372.5 25% 37.5% 200%

Whey 1025 37.5% 37.5% 100%

Concentrate

Pea Protein 1232.5 15% 27.5% 150%

Hemp Protein 900 10% 37.5% 60%

Now instead of calculating all data together, we should calculate according to

question.

Q1.

CP of Hemp protein can be calculated using ratio method

Cp -> MP & MP -> SP, thus CP -> SP

5:8

10:9

8:5

10:9

So 9u = 900

10u = 1000 = CP
Similarly in Casein protein

1:3

4:3

8:5

32:45

So, 45u = 1372.5

1u = 30.5

32u = 976 = CP

Thus ratio = 1000:976 = 125:122

Q2.

In Whey Concentrate

We will 1st calculate the original values of CP and MP

CP: MP

MP: SP

Thus, CP: SP

1:2

8:3

8:3

32:25

25u = 1025

1u = 41
32u = 1312 – CP

So MP = 1312*2/1 = 2624 Rs.

New SP = 2624*7/8*3/4 = Rs. 1722

Profit = 1722-1312 = Rs. 410

Q3. As calculated in the 1st question,

CP of Casein Protein is = 976

So MP = 976*3/1= Rs. 2928

Now, MP of Whey Isolate = SP – Total Discount

= 916.8*5/4*4/3 = Rs. 1528

Again, MP of Soy Protein

= 1064.2 *2/1*20/17 = Rs.2504

So Average = [2928+1528+2504]/3 = Rs.2320

Q4.

In pea Protein CP = SP + Discount – Markup = 1232.5*2/5*20/17*40/29 = 800

In Soy protein CP = MP – Markup = 2504*1/4 = 626

CP of Pea Protein + CP of Casein Protein = 800 + 976 = 1776

CP of Hemp Protein +CP of Soy Protein = 1000+626 = 1626

Required % = [1776-1626]/1626 %= 9.23%

Q5.

We know,

MP of Hemp Protein = 1000*8/5 = 1600

MP of Whey Isolate = 1528

CP of Whey Concentrate = 1312

CP of Pea Protein = 800

So required difference is [1528+1600] -[1312+800] = 1016.

Logical Data Interpretation [Time, Speed & Distance (Race Track) based]

Directions: study the passage given below and answer the following questions.

Amit and Bhanu ran a race of 2200 meters. The donut graph shows the distance
covered by Amit in each hour as a percentage of total distance covered by him.
The Bar graph shows the relative distance between Amit and Bhanu after each
hour with respect to Amit. (E.g: after 1st hour Amit is ahead of Bhanu, after 3rd
hour Bhanu is ahead of Amit).

अलमत और भानु ने 2200 मीटर की दौड़ िगाई। डोनट ग्राफ प्रत्येक घोंटे में अलमत द्वारा
तय की गई दू री को उसके द्वारा तय की गई कुि दू री के प्रलतर्त के रूप में दर्ााता है ।
िार ग्राफ अलमत के सोंिोंि में प्रत्येक घोंटे के िाद अलमत और भानु के िीच की सापेक्ष दू री
को दर्ाा ता है । (उदाहरण के लिए पहिे घोंटे के िाद अलमत भानु से आगे है , तीसरे घोंटे के
िाद भानु अलमत से आगे है )।

Q1. What was Bhanu's average maximum speed in any hour?

A. 5.4 hours
B. 6.4 hours
C. 7.2 hours
D. Cannot be determined
E. None of these

Q4. What would be the average speed of Bhanu in the fifth hour to finish the race
with Amit?

D. 410 m/hr
E. None of these
Q5. What is the difference between the average distance coved by Amit in first
four hours and the average distance covered by Bhanu in all five hours?

अलमत द्वारा पहिे चार घोंटोों में तय की गई औसत दू री और भानु द्वारा सभी पाों च घोंटोों में तय
की गई औसत दू री के िीच क्या अोंतर है ?

C. 40 m
D. 50 m
E. None of these
Answer

1. C
2. B
3. D
4. C
5. A

Solution

Distance covered by Amit in 1st hour = 2200 × 0.15 = 330 m

Distance covered by Bhanu in 1st hour = 330 - 100 = 230 m
Distance covered by Amit in 2nd hour = 2200 × 0.1 = 220 m
Distance covered by Bhanu in 2nd hours = (2200 × 0.25 - 300) - 230 = 250 - 230 =
20 m
Similarly solve for upcoming hours.

Distance covered after _ hour Distance covered in _ hour

Hour
By Amit By Bhanu By Amit By Bhanu

1st 330 230 330 230

2nd 550 250 220 20

3rd 1056 1556 506 1306

4th 1760 1810 704 254

5th 2200 2100 440 290

Q1. Maximum average speed of Bhanu = 1306 m/hr

Q2. Ratio = 550 : 250 = 11 : 5

Q3. For last (2200 - 2100 =) 100 m, Speed of Bhanu is not known, Hence time
taken by Bhanu to complete the race cannot be determined.

Q4. To complete the race Speed in 5th hours, Speed of Bhanu should be
= 2200 - 1810 = 390 m/hr

Q5. Difference = 1760/4 - 2100/5 = 440 - 420 = 20 m.

Solution

In Class 7th,
On Wednesday, % of Students say 'Yes' = 40%
% of Students say 'No' = 60%
Number of Students say 'Yes'= 250 × 0.4 = 100
Number of Students say 'No' = 250 × 0.6 = 150
On Thursday, % of Students say 'Yes' = 40 × 0.4 + 60 × 0.7 = 16 + 42 = 58%
% of Students say 'No' = 40 × 0.6 + 60 × 0.3 = 24 + 18 = 42%
Number of Students say 'Yes' = 250 × 0.58 = 145
Number of Students say 'No' = 250 × 0.42 = 105
Similarly solve for other classes.
Q1. Final response from class 9th were registered as 'Yes' by = 230.

Q2. Difference = 186 - 126 = 60.

Q3. Number of final response were registered as 'No' is 2nnd lowest in = 10th.

Q4. Number of Room = 145/4 + 186/4 + 230/4 + 126/4 = 37 + 47 + 58 + 32 = 174.

Q5. Students who didn't went on tour

= 763 - (60 + 94 + 120 + 141) = 763 - 415 = 348
% of Students who didn't went on tour = 348/1450 × 100 = 24%.

In Resultant mixture, Ratio, Milk in Mixture A : Milk in Mixture B = 6x : 8y = 3x : 4y
3x : 4y = 15 : 16 -> x : y = 5 : 4, R = 11 × 5 + 17 × 4 = 123, W = 9 × 4 – 5 × 5 = 11
3x : 4y = 9 : 14 -> x : y = 6 : 7, R = 11 × 6 + 17 × 7 = 185, W = 9 × 7 – 5 × 6 = 33
3x : 4y = 7 : 8 -> x : y = 7 : 6, R = 11 × 7 + 17 × 6 = 179, W = 9 × 6 – 5 × 7 = 19
3x : 4y = 3 : 5 ->x : y = 4 : 5, R = 11 × 4 + 17 × 5 = 129, W = 9 × 5 – 5 × 4 = 25
All are true.

Q2.

X = 10a + b, Y = 10c + d, Sum of other 3 numbers = Z

X + Y + Z = 34 × 5 = 170
X + Y – Z = 10 × 5 = 50
X + Y = (170 + 50)/2 = 110, Z = 170 – 110 = 60
(10a + b) + (10c + d) = 110
(b + d) = 110 – 10(a + c)
(10b + a) + (10d + c) + Z = 5 × 14.2
(10b + a) + (10d + c) + 60 = 71
(10b + a) + (10d + c) = 11
10(b + d) + (a + c) = 11
10[110 – 10(a + c)] + (a + c) = 11
1100 – 100(a + c) + (a + c) = 11
99(a + c) = 1089
(a + c) = 11 = Sum of tens digit.
Q3.

Profit Ratio, A : B : C = (A + 18) × 2P : A × 2P : 1.2(A + 18) × P = 5B : 10C : 7D

(A + 18) : A : 0.6(A + 18) = 5B : 10C : 7D
A/0.6(A + 18) = 10C/7D
A × 7D = 10C × 0.6(A + 18)
A × 7D = A × 6C + 108C
A × 7D – A × 6C = 108C
A = 108C/(7D – 6C)
Only B

Q4.

Smaller diagonal = x cm, Longer diagonal = y cm

1/2 × x × y = 216
xy = 432
Radius of Sphere = x cm, Base radius of Cylinder = y cm, Height of Cylinder = 2y cm
(4/3 × x3)/( y2 × 2y) = 9/32
(x/y)3 = 27/64
x/y = 3/4
x = 0.75y
xy = 432
0.75y × y = 432
y2 = 576
y = 24 cm, x = 0.75 × 24 = 18 cm
Difference = y – x = 24 – 18 = 6 cm.

Q5.

Let the number is = x

(x + 1/x) × 0.4 = x – 1/x
0.4x + 0.4/x = x – 1/x
0.6x = 1.4/x
x2 = 1.4/0.6 = 7/3
x3 = (7/3)√(7/3)
P = [(7/3)√(7/3) – 7/3]/(7/3) × 100 = [√(7/3) – 1] × 100 = 52.75% -> Q1
Income of B = 100 Rs. , Income of A = 1.2 × 100 = 120 Rs.
Income of C = (100 + 120) × 0.32 = 220 × 0.32 = 70.4
Q = (120 – 70.4)/120 × 100 = 41.33% -> Q2. So, Q1 > Q2.
