Answer key:

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

Solution

For Car A

[A/80] + [(A+80)/75] = 11.4

31A = 12,400

A = 400

Similarly solving,

B = 480, C = 500, D = 300, & E = 500

Day → Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5

Distance travelled by 400 540 450 360 480
car (in km)
Time taken by car (in 5 9 5 3 12
hr)
Distance travelled by 480 400 600 450 500
bus (in km)
Time taken by bus (in 6.4 5 10 5 10
hr)

Q1.

(B × D × E) ÷ (A × C) = (480 × 300 × 500) ÷ (400 × 500) = 36

Q2.
From Statement I, Distance travelled by Car on Day 1 = 400 km (False)
From Statement II, Distance travelled by Bus on Day 3 = 600 km (True)
From Statement III, Distance travelled by Bus on Day 5 = 500 km (True)
Only I
Q3.
Average Distance travelled by Car = (400 + 540 + 450 + 360 + 480)/5
= 2230/5 = 446 km
Average Distance travelled by Bus = (480 + 400 + 600 + 450 + 500)/5
= 2430/5 = 486 km
Difference = 486 - 446 = 40 km

Q4.
On Day 3, Time taken by Car = 5/0.8 = 6.25 hours (since distance is constant, ratio
of time and speed will be inversely proportional)
Time taken by Bus = 10/1.25 = 8 hours
Difference = 8 - 6.25 = 1.75 hours

Q5.
On Day 4, Time taken by Car & Bus to travel with changed speed
= 3/1.25 + 5/0.5 = 2.4 + 10 = 12.4 hours
On Day 5, Time taken by Car to travel A km & Bus to travel D km
= 400/40 + 300/50 = 10 + 6 = 16 hours
Required % = (16 - 12.4)/16 × 100 = 22.5%

Answers

1. A

3. A
4. A
5. A

Solution

In February
In Company A, Unsold = 300, Production = 6/(6 – 5) × 300 = 1800, Sold = 1800 –
300 = 1500
In Company B, Sold = 3000 – 1500 = 1500, Unsold = 1500 – 1200 = 300,
Production = 1500 + 300 = 1800
30Y – 300 = 1500
Y = 60
In Company C, Unsold = 1400, Production = 1400/(1 – Z/100 ), Sold = 1400 ×
z/(100 – z)
In April
In Company B, Unsold = 1040, Sold = XY + 500 = (40/3) × 60 + 500 = 1300,
Production = 1040 + 1300 = 2340
(XY + 500) × 6X/100 = 1040
(60X + 500) × 6x/100 = 1040
3.6x2 + 30x – 1040 = 0
9x2 + 75x – 2600 = 0
(3x – 40)(3x + 65) = 0 x = 40/3
In Company A, Production = 1300 + 400 = 1700, Unsold = 200, Sold = 1700 – 200 =
1500
M + 200 = 1500 M = 1300
In Company C, Production = 3900 – 1700 = 2200
In January
In Company A, Unsold = 800, Production = 800/(1 – 0.6) = 2000, Sold = 2000 – 800
= 1200
In Company C, Production = 2000 – 500 = 1500, Unsold = 1500 × 40/300 = 200,
Sold = 1500 – 200 = 1300
In Company B, Sold = 1700, Unsold = 200 + 200 = 400, Production = 1700 + 400 =
2100
In March
In Company B, Sold = 1300 – 200 = 1100, Production = 1100/(1 – 8/19) = 1900,
Unsold = 1900 – 1100 = 800
In Company A, Production = 1900 × 22/19 = 2200
In Company C, Production = 1900 × 14/19 = 1400, Sold = 1400 × 5/7 = 1000,
Unsold = 1400 – 1000 = 400

Q1.

By Company C, Unsold laptop in February & March = 1400 + 400 = 1800

% of Unsold Laptops = 60 – 15/4 = 56.25%
Total Production in February & March = 1800/0.5625 = 3200
Production in February = 3200 – 1400 = 1800
1400/(1 – Z/100) = 1800
7/9 = 1 – Z/100
Z/100 = 2/9
Z = 200/9
% of Laptop Sold in January = 1300/1500 × 100 = 260/3%
200/9 + a = 260/3
a = 260/3 – 200/9 = 580/9
% of Laptop sold in January = (Z + 580/9)%

Q2.

By Company B, in all months, Production = 2100 + 1800 + 1900 + 2340 = 8140

Unsold = 400 + 300 + 800 + 1040 = 2540
% = 2540/8140 × 100 = 31.2%

Q3.

By Company A, Laptop sold in March = 1500 × [1 + (60/2)/100] = 1950

Unsold Laptop in Company A & B in March = (2200 – 1950) + 800 = 1050
Sold Laptop in Company A & C in January = 1200 + 1300 = 2500
Difference = 2500 – 1050 = 1450

Q4.

By Company C, Sold Laptop in April = 1400 × 2 – 1300 = 1500

Sold Laptop : Unsold Laptop = 1500 : (2200 – 1500) = 1500 : 700 = 15 : 7
Q5.

By Company A, Production in December = 1900 × 3 – (2000 + 1800) = 1900

Increase in sell in January = 40/3 + 20/3 = 60/3 = 20%
Unsold laptop in December = 1900 – 1200/1.2 = 1900 – 1000 = 900
Unsold laptop in December & April, by Company A = 900 + 200 = 1100
Required % = 1100/1900 × 100 = 1100/19%

x/(3x + 500) = 5760/17760 = 12/37
37x = 36x + 6000
x = 6000
Initial Investment of A = 6000 + 1500 = 7500 Rs.

Quantity II
{(x - 1000) × 3y}/{(x + 1500) × y + x × 2y + (x - 1000) × 3y} = 10000/23750
3(x - 1000)/(x + 1500 + 2x + 3x - 3000) = 8/19
3(x - 1000)/(6x - 1500) = 8/19
19 × (x - 1000) = 8 × (2x - 500)
19x - 19000 = 16x - 4000
3x = 15000
x = 5000
Amount Invested by B = x = 5000 Rs.
Hence,
Quantity I > Quantity II

Q2.

120 = 5 × x = 4 × (x + 3)
5x = 4x + 12
x = 12
Speed of P = 120/12 = 10 m/s
Speed of Q = 120/(12 - 2) = 120/10 = 12 m/s
Speed of R = 120/(12 + 3) = 120/15 = 8 m/s

Quantity I
Distance between Q & R, when winner finish the race = 300 – [300/12] × 8 = 300 -
200 = 100 m

Quantity II
Distance between P & R, when winner finish the race = 320 – [320/10] × 8 = 320 -
256 = 64 m
Hence,
Quantity I > Quantity II

Q3.

Quantity I
Let X = 100a + 80 + b
Y = 100b + 80 + a
If a > b
X - Y = 198
(100a + 80 + b) - (100b + 80 + a) = 198
99a - 99b = 198
a-b=2
(a, b) = (9, 7), (8, 6), (7, 5), (6, 4), (5, 3), (4, 2), (3, 1)
If a < b
Y - X = 198
(100b + 80 + a) - (100a + 80 + b) = 198
99b - 99a = 198
b-a=2
(b, a) = (9, 7), (8, 6), (7, 5), (6, 4), (5, 3), (4, 2), (3, 1)
Number of Possible values of X = 7 + 7 = 14

Quantity II
Woman - 15 5
} 75 {
Man - 25 3

Efficiency of Child = 5 × 0.5 = 2.5

(6 × 2.5 + 5 × 3) × 4X = 12 × 5 × 16
(15 + 15) × X = 3 × 5 × 16
2X = 16
X=8
Hence,
Quantity I > Quantity II

Q4.

Quantity I
Profit Ratio, Vivek: Vishal = (17 × 12) : (12 × 19) = 17 : 19
Total Profit = 741 × 36/19 = 1404 Rs.

Quantity II
CP of Chair = 918/ (0.75 × 0.8 × 1.7) = 918/1.02 = 900 Rs.
CP of Table = 900 × 1.35 = 1215 Rs.
Hence,
Quantity I > Quantity II

Q5.

Quantity I
X = (4C2 + 5C2 + 3C2)/12C2 = (6 + 10 + 3)/66 = 19/66
99X + 1.5 = 99 × 19/6 + 1.5 = 28.5 + 1.5 = 30

Quantity II
Number of Handshakes = 7C2 = 21
Hence,
Quantity I > Quantity II

Q6.

Quantity I
x2z + xy2 - xz2 - yx2 + yz2 - zy2 + xyz
(x - y)(y - z)(z - x) + xyz
Minimum value,
(2 - 5)(5 - 8)(8 - 2) + 2 × 5 × 8 = (- 3)(- 3) × 6 + 80 = 54 + 80 = 134
Maximum value,
(4 - 7)(7 - 10)(10 - 4) + 4 × 7 × 10 = (- 3)(- 3) × 6 + 280 = 54 + 280 = 334
Quantity II
(xy + yz)(z2 - y2 - z2)
Minimum value,
(2 × 5 + 5 × 8) × (82 - 52 - 22) = (10 + 40) × (64 - 25 - 4) = 50 × 35 = 1750
Maximum value,
(4 × 7 + 7 × 10) × (102 - 72 - 42) = (28 + 70) × (100 - 49 - 16) = 98 × 35 = 3430
Hence,
Quantity I < Quantity II .

Solution

Vessel A
Water = 80 L
So, Milk = 80 × 7/2 = 280 L
Total = 360 L
Thus, Water: Milk = 2: 7

Vessel B
Water = 280 L
Tea = 140 L
Total = 420 L,
Water: Tea = 2: 1

Vessel C
Total = 420 + 60 = 480 L
Tea = 480 × 5/8 = 300 L
Alcohol = 180 L
Tea: Alcohol = 5: 3

Vessel D
Total = 480/1.5 = 320 L
Alcohol = 180 × 2/3 = 120 L
Coffee = 200 L
Alcohol: Coffee = 3: 5

Vessel E
Total = 360 × 2/3 = 240 L
Juice = 60 L, Coffee = 180 L
Juice: Coffee = 60: 180 = 1: 3
Q1.
In Vessel F
Milk: Water: Tea = (144 × 7/9): (144 × 2/9 + 72 × 2/3): (72 × 1/3)
= 112: 80: 24
= 14: 10: 3

Q2.

Let x L coffee required to mixed then

(72 × 3/4 + x)/ (72 × 1/4 + 42) = 2/1
54 + x = 2(18 + 42)
x = 2 × 60 – 54 = 120 – 54 = 66

Q3.

In Vessel Z
Water: Tea: Alcohol = 280: (140 + 300): 180
= 280: 440: 180
= 14: 22: 9
In 45 L, Quantity of Alcohol = 45 × 9/45 = 9 L

Q4.

In Vessel Y
Tea: Alcohol: Coffee: Juice
= (128 × 5/8): (128 × 3/8 + 96 × 3/8): (96 × 5/8 + 120 × 3/4): (120 × 1/4)

= 80: 84: 150: 30

= 40: 42: 75: 15

Q5.

In Vessel W
Alcohol : Coffee : Juice = 120 : (200 + 180) : 60
= 120 : 380 : 60
= 6 : 19 : 3

In 56 L, Quantity of Juice = 56 × 3/28 = 6 L
