In how many ways can we select a
pair of co-prime numbers a and b
from {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}? [ that (a, b) is
different from (b, a).]
• With 2: 2, with 3, 3, with 4, 2, with 5: 4;
with 6: 1
• Answer: 12 .

There are nine distinct numbers of
which five numbers are positive
and four numbers are negative.
Three numbers are chosen at
random and the product of these
numbers is found, How many of
these products are positive?

Solution:
• 5c3 = 10
• Two negative and one positive: 30
• (5c1*4c2) = 30
• Thus 10+30 = 40 answer.

• A starts from home for his office. He
travels downhill, then on flat ground and
then uphill to reach his office. It takes him
3 hrs to reach the office. On the way back
home A takes 3 hrs 10 mm to reach home
along the same route. The speeds
downhill is 60 km/hr, on flat ground is 48
km/hr and uphill is 40 km/hr.

What is the distance from his home
to office?
• (X/60+y/48+Z/40 )- (X/40 +Y/48+Z/60)
=10/60
• =(X/60+Z/40 -X/40 -Z/60) =10/60
• -2x/240 +2z/240 = 10/60
• Z-X =20
• Z = 60
• X = 40, Y =48; total distance = 148 Km.

By what distance should his office
be shifted so that the time taken to
go to the office is say-le as time
taken to reach home from the
office?
• 20 Km answer.

Study the figure and answer. .

What is the number of illiterates of
state B and state F together?

Solution . .
• B = 4800000*43.2/360 *3/10
• =172800
• For F:
• =4800000*57.6/360*1/3
• =256000
• The total of these two are: 428800
answer.

. If there is a decrease of 10% in
the population of state D and an
increase of 12.5% in the population
of state F, in the year 2008 over the
respective populations in the given
year, then what is the ratio of the
population of D, to that of F in the
year 2008?

Solution
• For D: 4800000*72/360*90/100 =
• =864000
• For F:
• =4800000*57.6/360*112.5/100
• =864000
• Thus the ratio is 1:1 answer.

Of the population of state F, if 63%
of the females and 72% of the
males are literate, then what is the
ratio of male literates to female
literates?
• Females: =4800000*57.6/360*1/5*63/100

• There are 7 words.
• Thus answer: 7!/(2!*2!)
• =(7*6*5*4*3*2*1)/(2*2)
• =1260

Study the figure and answer the
next question. . .

After 30 overs, what is the
difference of scores between the
team A and team B?
• A = 64+52+62 = 178
• B = 62+60+55 = 177
• There is a difference of just one run
between the two teams after 30 overs.

What should be the required run
rate for team B to win the match
after 40 over?
• Total runs scored by A:
• = 64+52+62+64+78=320
• Total scores made by B till 40 overs:
• 62+60+55+51=228
• Thus required runs are : 92
• 92/10 gives a run rate of 9.2 per over.
What is the average runs per
wicket by team A after 50 overs?
• A team had made 320 runs and had lost 9
wickets.
• 320/9 =35.6 answer.

. During a month comprising 30
consecutive working days, the
average wage of a worker was Rs.
90 per day. During the first 14 days,
his average wage was Rs. 87 per
day and the average wage during
the last 14 days was Rs. 92 per
day. What was his average wage
on the 15 and
16 day?
solution
• Total wages: 90*30 = 2700
• Wages during first 14 days: 87*14=1218
• Wages during last 14 days: 92*14 = 1288
• The total of these two is : 2506
• Thus the wages on 15th and 16th day was
• 194/2 = 97 (average). Answer.

What is difference between
stationary and stationery?
• Stationary denotes stability
• Stationery denotes pen, pencils,

ABC is an equilateral triangle of side
14cm. A semi circle on BC as diameter
is drawn to meet AB at D, and AC at E.
Find the area of the shaded region.
• For this look at the
picture closely and
find out the
approximate area of
circle and triangle,
what do you get?

Solution
Let us divide the equilateral triangle into 4
equal parts. The total area is : 84/4 = 21
Thus the upper triangle is 21. The rest of the
area is 63. leaving this area from the circle
(circle’s total area is 77), we get 77-63=14
14*2/3 = 9.33 sq.cm approx. answer.

What is 64^(-1/6)?
• Let us first solve for – sign
• We get 1/64 with the same power
• Now find 6 equal factors of 1 and 64
• We get ½ (because 2*2*2*2*2*2 = 64)
• Now solving this we get ½ answer.
