11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 and 37. 1 unit = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
Reversing the digits gives 11, 31, 71, 32, 8 units = 8 × 9 = 72

2071 when multiplied is 37 and 73 4. (B) Total volume of orange juice in the
bottle = 280 + 880 = 1160 ml
2. (D) The minute hand takes one hour per
revolution, the hour hand takes twelve = 1160 ÷ 1000 = 1.16 l

Given ratio = 2 : 1 16. (A) Anusha’s age = 12 years 6 months
2 units = 6 m = 12 × 12 + 6 = 150 months
1 unit = 6 ÷ 2 = 3 m (breadth) Poonam’s age = 8 years
Volume of a cuboid = 5 × 3 × 6 = 90 m3 = 12 × 8 = 96 months

weight of box B = 4 g B = 2 kg
5
1 kg = 1000 g C = B + 4 kg
4 C = 2kg + 4kg
convert 4 kg into g
5 C = 6 kg
4000 g + 800 g = 4800 g Mass of B and C = 2 + 6 = 8 kg
Total weight of box A and box B is 375 3

11. (A) Smallest 4-digit number = 1000 8 16
Smallest 4-digit number which is a 20. (D) 1 m 5 cm = 105 cm
multiple of 3 is 1002. 3.5 km = 3.5 × 1000 m = 3500 m
9049 is the biggest number which when = 3500 × 100 cm = 350000 cm
rounded off to the nearest 100, gives
 The required ratio is 105:350000 =
9000 as the answer.
3:10000
Thus, A = 1002 and P = 9049
21. (D) 1 m = 100 cm
9049 – 1002 = 8047
1 = 10 cm
12. (A) A : B : C = 6 : 5 : 11
The height of the plant = 7 units
6 × 7 : 5 × 7 : 11 × 7

 CRITICAL THINKING
56. (A) The letters which are symmetrical and
will look the same in the mirror are as
follows
AHIMOTUVWXY
According to above, only boy 4 has given
the correct collection of letters whose
mirror image will be same.
i.e. Boy 4 : A O V I V O A
57. (A) Given integers 1 to 9 are assigned to
L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T and P = 4
Also, given T – P = 5
 T–4=5
58. (A) Let four-wheeler be denoted by C and
two-wheeler be denoted by S,
respectively. Then, the sequence of
parking is
C S C S S C S S S C S S S S C S S S/S S C S S
SSSSCSSSSSSSC
The above sequence has been divided
into two equal halves by a line.
Clearly, the number of two-wheelers in
second half of the row is 15.
Note: Count only scooter in second half.
59. (B) ‘C’ and ‘D’ options can be drawn.
60. (C) 1; so that the total of each vertical line
of numbers increases by one every time.

 T = 9 and T – N = 3
 9–N=3
N = 6
So, the value of N or the number assigned
to N is 6.
