1) A person gains 10% while buying and 10% while selling by using false weights,
then what is his total profit percentage?
(a) 15% (b) 25% (c) 20% (d) 21%

Ans: 21%
Explanation
Here the 10% is successively increased, so (a+b+ab/100) can be used to find the
overall percentage gain. %Profit = (10 + 10 + (10*10)/100) = 21
2) Seema is 5 years older than her brother Mac. The product of their ages is 204
years. What is the age of Mac?
(a) 12 years (b) 8 years (c) 6 years (d) 10 years

Ans: 12 years
Explanation
Let the age of Mac will be x yrs. Then Seema age =x+5
Acc to question: (x+5)x = 204, by solving this we get x= 12 years.
3) Lalit marks up his goods by 40% and gives a discount of 10%. Apart from this, he
uses a faulty balance also, which reads 1000 gm for 800 gm. What is his net profit
percentage?
(a) 57.5% (b) 57% (c) 61% (d) 62.5%

Ans: 57.5%
Explanation
Let us assume his CP/1000 gm = Rs 100
The SP/kg (800 gm) = Rs 126
So, his CP/800 gm = Rs 80
So, profit = Rs 46
So, profit percentage = 46/80 x 100 = 57.5%
4) In a bag, there are a certain number of toy-blocks with alphabets A, B, C and D
written on them. The ratio of blocks A:B:C:D is in the ratio 4:7:3:1. If the number of ‘A’
blocks is 50 more than the number of ‘C’ blocks, what is the number of ‘B’ blocks?
(a) 120 (b) 350 (c) 240 (d) 210

Ans: 350
Explanation
Let the number of the blocks A,B,C,D be 4x, 7x, 3x and 1x respectively
4x = 3x + 50 → x = 50. So the number of ‘B’ blocks is 7*50 = 350.
5) If 60 ml of water contains 12% of chlorine, how much water must be added in
order to create a 8% chlorine solution?
(a) 10ml (b) 35ml (c) 20ml (d) 30ml
Ans: 30ml
Explanation
Let x ml of chlorine be present in water.
Then, 12/100 = x/60 → x = 7.2 ml
Therefore, 7.2 ml is present in 60 ml of water.
In order for this 7.2 ml to constitute 8% of the solution, we need to add extra water.
Let this be y ml, then 8/100 of y = 7.2ml → y = 90 ml.
So in order to get 8% chlorine solution, we need to add 90-60 = 30 ml of water.

6) If a : b = 7 : 5 and c : d = 2a : 3b, then ac : bd is :

(a) 14:15 (b) 50:147 (c) 98:75 (d) 15:14

Ans: 98:75
Explanation
Since a and b are in the ratio 7:5. Then, let a = 7x and b = 5x.
c = 2a = 2 * 7x = 14x and d = 3b = 3 * 5x = 15x.
c : d = 14 : 15 à ac : bd = 14 * 7 : 15 * 5 = 98 : 75

7) The average score of a cricketer for ten matches is 38.9 runs. If the average for the
first six matches is 42, then find the average for the last four matches.
(a) 33.25 (b) 33.5 (c) 34.25 (d) 35

Ans: 34.25
Explanation
Total sum of last 4 matches = (10×38.9)–(6×42)
=389–252=137
Average = 137/4 = 34.25

8) A grocer 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) 4991 (b) 5467 (c) 5987 (d) 6453

Ans: Rs. 4991

Explanation
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.
9) The average of five consecutive odd numbers is 61. What is the difference
between the highest and lowest numbers :
(a) 4 (b) 8 (c) 12 (d) 16

Ans: 8
Explanation
Let the numbers be x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8.
Then [x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 6) + (x + 8)] / 5 = 61.
Or 5x + 20 = 305 or x = 57.
So, required difference = (57 + 8) – 57 = 8

10) A car travels at a speed of 60 km/h and returns with a speed of 40 km/h, calculate
the average speed for the whole journey.
(a) 48 kmph (b) 38 kmph (c) 32 kmph (d) 16 kmph

Ans: 48 kmph
Explanation:
Since equal distances are covered at 60 kmph and 40 kmph, we can apply the
formula 2xy/(x+y). Average speed = (2×40×60) / (40 + 60) = 48 kmph

11) A motorboat can travel at 5 km/hr in still water. It travelled 90 km downstream in

a river and then returned, taking altogether 100 hours. Find the rate of flow of the
river.
(a) 3 kmph (b) 3.5 kmph (c) 2 kmph (d) 4 kmph

Ans: 4 kmph
Explanation:
Speed of boat in still water = x = 5 km/hr.
Let rate of flow of river = y km/hr.
Therefore, speed of u/s = 5- y and speed of d / s = 5 + y
Hence, 90/(5+y) + 90/(5-y) = 100 ⇒ y = 4 km/hr.

19) The price of 2 sarees and 4 shirts is Rs. 1600. With the same money one can buy 1
saree and 6 shirts. If one wants to buy 12 shirts, how much shall he have to pay?
(a) Rs. 1200 (b) Rs. 2400 (c) Rs. 4800 (d) None

Ans: Rs. 2400

Explanation
Let the price of a saree and a shirt 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 shirts = Rs. (12 x 200) = Rs. 2400.
