3. A Postman buys a cycle for Rs. 1400 and sells it at a loss of 15%. What is the selling price of the cycle?

A. Rs. 1090

B. Rs. 1160

C. Rs. 1190

D. Rs. 1202

S.P. = 85% of Rs. 1400 = Rs. 85/100 x 1400 = Rs. 1190


4. On selling 17 cups at Rs. 720, there is a loss equal to the cost price of 5 cups. The cost price of a ball is:

A. Rs. 45

B. Rs. 50

C. Rs. 55

D. Rs. 60


Answer: Option D

(C.P. of 17 cups) – (S.P. of 17 cups) = (C.P. of 5 cups)

C.P. of 12 cups = S.P. of 17 cups = Rs.720.

C.P. of 1 ball = Rs. 720/12 = Rs. 60.


5. A man mixes 26 kg of rice at Rs. 20 per kg with 30 kg of rice of other variety at Rs. 36 per kg and sells the mixture at Rs. 30 per kg. His profit percent is:

A. 0%

B. 5%

C. 8%

D. 10%


Answer: Option B

C.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 x 20 + 30 x 36) = Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600.

S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 x 30) = Rs. 1680.

Gain = 80/1600 x 100 % = 5%.


6. A sum of money is to be distributed among Arti, Meera, Chandu, Danish in the proportion of 5 : 2 : 4 : 3. If Chandu gets Rs. 1000 more than Danish, what is Meera’s share?

A. Rs. 500

B. Rs. 1500

C. Rs. 2000

D. None of these


Answer: Option C

Let the shares of Arti, Meera, Chandu and Danish be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively.

Then, 4x – 3x = 1000

x = 1000.

Meera’s share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.


7. Salaries of Rachit and Kshama are in the ratio 2 : 3. If the salary of each is increased by Rs. 4000, the new ratio becomes 40 : 57. What is Kshama’s salary?

A. Rs. 25,500

B. Rs. 20,000

C. Rs. 17,000

D. Rs. 38,000


Answer: Option D

Let the original salaries of Rachit and Kshama be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively.

Then, [2x + 4000]/[3x + 4000] = 40/57

57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000)

6x = 68,000

3x = 34,000

Kshama’s present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000.

8. Two cars starting at the same time from 2 garages 200 km apart and going in opposite direction cross each other at a distance of 110 km from one of the garages. What is the ratio of their speeds?

A. 11:9

B. 7:3

C. 18:4

D. None of these


Solution:

Option(A) is correct

In the same time, they cover 110 km and 90 km respectively.

For the same time, speed and distance is inversely proportional.

So ratio of their speed = 110:90 = 11: 9


9. A sportsperson can row 4.5 km/hr in still water and he finds that it takes him twice as long to row up as to row down the river. Find the rate of the stream.

A. 1.75 km/hr

B. 2.5 km/hr

C. 1.5 km/hr

D. 2 km/hr


Solution: Option(C) is correct

Let the speed of the current be x km/hr

Thus upward speed = (4.5 ? x) km/hr

and downward speed = (4.5 + x) km/hr

Let distance traveled be y, then for the same distance y,

Time Rowing Upwards = 2 Time Rowing Downwards

y4.5 ? x = 2 y 4.5 + x

? x = 1.5 km/hr


10. A criminal steals a car and drives it at 15 km/hr. The theft has been discovered after one hour and the owner of the car sets off in another car at 25 km/hr. When will the owner overtake the criminal from the starting point?

A. 2.5 hr

B. 1.5 hr

C. 2 hr

D. 1 hr


Solution:Option(B) is correct

Distance covered by the criminal in one hour = 15 km

Now this distance is to be covered by the relative speed of (25 ? 15) = 10 km/hr

Hence, time required to cover this distance at a speed of 10 km/hr:

= 1015

= 1.5 hr


11. There are two examinations rooms Room 1 and Room 2. If 10 students are sent from Room 1 to Room 2, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from Room 2 to Room 1, then the number of students in Room 1 is double the number of students in Room 2. The number of students in room Room 1 is:

a. 20

b. 80

c. 100

d. 200


Answer: Option c

Explanation:

Let the number of students in rooms Room 1 and Room 2 be x and y respectively.

Then, x – 10 = y + 10 x – y = 20 …. (i)

and x + 20 = 2(y – 20) x – 2y = -60 …. (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.

The required answer Room 1 = 100.


12. The price of 2 belts and 4 wallets is Rs. 1600. With the same money one can buy 1 belt and 6 wallets. If one wants to buy 12 wallets, how much shall he have to pay ?

A. Rs. 1200

B. Rs. 2400

C. Rs. 4800

D. Cannot be determined


Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the price of a belt and a wallet be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.

Then, 2x + 4y = 1600 …. (i)

and x + 6y = 1600 …. (ii)

Divide equation (i) by 2, we get the below equation.

=> x + 2y = 800. — (iii)

Now subtract (iii) from (ii)

x + 6y = 1600 (-)

x + 2y = 800

—————-

4y = 800

—————-

Therefore, y = 200.

Now apply value of y in (iii)

=> x + 2 x 200 = 800

=> x + 400 = 800

Therefore x = 400

Solving (i) and (ii) we get x = 400, y = 200.

Cost of 12 wallets = Rs. (12 x 200) = Rs. 2400.

13. A tank 6m long and 4 m wide contains water up to a depth of 1 m 25 cm. The total area of the wet surface is:

A. 49 m2

B. 50 m2

C. 53.5 m2

D. 55 m2


Answer: Option A

Area of the wet surface = [2(lb + bh + lh) – lb]

= 2(bh + lh) + lb

= [2 (4 x 1.25 + 6 x 1.25) + 6 x 4] m2

= 49 m2.


14. A trader has a sale of Rs. 6435, Rs. 6927, Rs. 6855, Rs. 7230 and Rs. 6562 for 5 consecutive months. How much sale must he have in the sixth month so that he gets an average sale of Rs. 6500?

A. Rs. 4991

B. Rs. 6991

C. Rs. 6001

D. Rs. 5991


Answer: Option A

Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009.

Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 x 6) – 34009 ]

= Rs. (39000 – 34009)

= Rs. 4991.


15. A paper sheet is of rectangular shape with dimensions 48m x 36m. From each of its corners, a square is cut off so as to make an open box. If the length of the square is 8 m, the volume of the box (in m3) is:

A. 8960

B. 5120

C. 6420

D. 4830


Answer: Option B

Clearly, l = (48 – 16)m = 32 m,

b = (36 – 16)m = 20 m,

h = 8 m.

Volume of the box = (32 x 20 x 8) m3= 5120 m3.


16. Which term of the series 5, 8, 11, 14,…..is 317?

[A]. 104th

[B]. 105th

[C]. 106th

[D]. 64th


Answer: Option B

Clearly, 5 + 3 = 8, 8 + 3 = 11, 11 + 3 = 14, …..

So, the series is an A.P. in which a = 5 and d = 3.

Let 320 be the nth term of the series.

Then, 320 = 5 + (n – 1) x 3 or (n – 1) = 105 or n = 106.
