1. D
2. C
3. B
Age of Shan = 55 years
Age of Sathian = 55-5 = 50 years
Age of Balan = 50-6 = 44 years
Age of Deven = 44-7 = 37 years
Thus, difference between Devan and Shan,
= 55 -37
= 18.
4. B
a. Let the present age of his son be X years.
b. So, present age of his father = X+24 (as he is 24 years older than his son)
c. After 2 years, father's age become (X+24+2) years and Son's age will be (X+2).
d. Now, according to question,
e. X+24+2 = 2*(X +2)
f. Or, X = 22 years.
g. Son's present age = 22 years.
5. D
a. The alphabet starting with C, so
b. 1st Hour = C
c. 2nd Hour = D
d. 3rd Hour = E, and So on. Then we get,
e. 16th Hour = R.
f. 16 hour is represented by letter R.
6. B
a. M scores more run than N.(M > N) M scores less than P. (P >M >N) Q scores
more than N but less than M. So, Sequence of scoring run is P
>M>Q>N. So, N is the lowest scorer.
7. C
a. Total number of Vehicles = 160
b. There are 70 red vehicles thus rest 90 are green vehicles,
c. out of which 18 are green trucks then we get,
d. Green cars = 90 - 18 = 72.
e. Given, Number of cars = 120.
f. Then, number of red cars,
g. = 120 - 72
h. = 48 Red cars.
8. D
a. 12 = 1.
32 = 9.
52 = 25.
72 = 49.
92 = 81.
112 = 121.
9. C
 a. To reach the winning post A will have to cover a distance of (500 - 140)m, i.e., 360
m.
b. While A covers 3 m, B covers 4 m.
c. While A covers 360 m, B covers (4/3 * 360) m = 480 m.
d. Thus, when A reaches the winning post, B covers 480 m and therefore remains 20 m
behind.
e. ∴ A wins by 20 m.
10. D
a. Averagespeed,=(2×x×y)(x+y)=(2×100×150)(100+150)=(200×150)250=120km/hr
11. C
a. As we know,1%=1/100Hence,1/2%=(1/2×1100)=1200=0.005
12. D
a. LetthecostofachairandthatoftablebeRs.xandRs.yrespectively.Then,10x=4yory=52x∴1
5x+2y=4000⇒15x+2×52x=4000⇒20x=4000∴x=200So,y=(52×200)=500Hence,thecost
of12chairsand3tables=12x+3y=Rs.(2400+1500)=Rs.3900
13. B
a. Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = (1200060×8)m=1600m
b. Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.
c. Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.
d. Therefore Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.
e. Therefore Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m2.
14. D
a. APPLE = 5 letters.
But two letters PP is of same kind.
Thus, required permutations,
= 5!/2!
= 120/2
= 60.
15. B
a. Since, no order to the committee is mentioned, a combination instead of
permutation is used.
Let's sort out what we have and what we want.
Have: 5 women, 6 men.
Want: 3 women AND 1 man.
The word AND means multiply.
Woman and Men

Cwant *haveCwant
have

=> 5C3 *6C1,

= 60.
16. C
a. Suppose C's capital = x then
b. B's capital = 4x (Since B's Capital is four times C's capital)
c. A's capital = 6x ( Since twice A's capital is equal to thrice B's capital)
d. A:B:C =6 x : 4x : x
e. =6:4:1
f. B's share = 16500 * (4/11) = 1500*4 = 6000.

19. B

Let Rs. x be the fare of city B from city A and Rs. y be the fare of city C from city A.

Then, 2x + 3y = 77 ...(i) and

3x + 2y = 73 ...(ii)

Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2 and subtracting, we get: 5y = 85 or y = 17.

Putting y = 17 in (i), we get: x = 13.
