Question number Correct answer
1 (c) 1
Solution 1:- (3+5) / 8 = 1
2 (c) 5
Solution 2:- (7+8)/3 = 5
3 (d) 18
Solution 3:- (9-3)*3 =18
4 (b) 49
Solution 4 :- (3+4) * 7 = 49
5 (a) 50 cm
Solution 5:- Let the total length = 15m = 1500 cm
Length of segments = 30 cm
2
Number of pieces =
1500 cm / 30 cm = 50
6 (e) 500
Solution 6:- 0.5/100 * 1,00,000 = 0.5 * 1000 = 500
7 (b) Rs. 7500
Solution 7:-
Let total salary = TS
Income = 150 + (total salary) * .06
600 = 150 + (TS) * 0.6
TS = 7500
8 (b) 81
Solution 8 :- Given series is increasing powers of 3. i.e. (3^0, 3^1,
3^2, 3^3)
Next number = 3^4 = 81
9 (a) 8
Solution 9:- Difference is of 5,4,3,2
So next difference = 1
Next term = 9-1 = 8
10 (d) 16
Solution 10 :- Letters are coded as their position in the alphabet
series.
Position of P = 16.
11 (d) 256
Solution 11 :- 2,4,16,X
Succeeding term is the square of the term preceding it. So next term
=16^2 =256.
12 (c) T
Solution 12:- Difference between the positions of the terms is of 3.
Next term = T
Schedule VIII- 3 (b) decreases by 1%
Solution 3:- Let the number be 100.
Number after being increased by 10 % = 100 +10% of 100 = 100
+10 =110
Now reducing the number by 10% we have, 110 – 10% of 110 =
110 -11 = 99
So original number got reduced by (110-99)/100 * 100 = 1%.
Schedule VIII- 4 (b) 33 1/3%
Solution 4:- By Selling 3 articles for cost price of 4 , we have saved
1 article and that is basically the profit earned, on selling 3 articles.
P% = articles free/ articles sold *100
P% = 1/3 *100 = 33 1/3 %.
Alternate method:-
Let the CP of three articles = 12 Rs
CP per article = 12/4 = 3 rs
SP of 3 articles = 12 Rs
SP of 1 article = 12/3 = 4 Rs
Profit % = (4-3)/3 * 100
= 33 1/3 %
Schedule VIII- 5 (c) 5%
Solution 5:- Money doubles means an interest of 100% is gained.
3
In 20 years interest received = 100%
In 1 year interest received =100/ 20 = 5%
1989
1 (c) 45 cm
Solution 1:- Let the normal rainfall = X,
Then 80 % of X =36
X= 45 cm.
2 (b) 144, 80
Solution 2:- Let the numbers be 9x and 5X resp.
Then 9x+5x = 14x = 224
X= 16
So the numbers are 9x = 9*16 =144
And 5x = 5* 16 = 80.
3 (d) 20%
Solution 3:- Initial cost of Scooter = 5000 Rs
Brokerage paid to agent = 4% of 5000 = 200 Rs
Expenditure on Repair = 300 Rs
Total cost of scooter = 5000 +200 +300 = 5500 Rs.
SP = 6650 Rs
Gain = 6650- 5500 = 1150 Rs
Gain % = 1150/ 5500 * 100
= 20.90%
4 (b) 9989
Solution 4 :- Highest 4 digit number = 9999
Smallest 2 digit number = 10
Difference = 9999- 10 = 9989
5 (b) 9
Solution 5:- Average of 5,7,9,11,13
= (5+7+9+11+13) /5 = 9
6 (d) 5 days
Solution 6:- Let he worked for X days and was absent on (20-X)
days
Therefore, 20*X + (20-X)* (-5) = 275
20X -100 +5X = 275
25X =375
X= 15 days
So he was absent for = 20-15 = 5 days.
7 (b) 120
Solution 7:- Let the number = X
Then as per the data given in the question we have,
(X/2 +X/3 +X/4) – X = 10
X= 120
8 (b) 279
Then,1/3*1/3*X =31
X= 31*3*3 = 279
9 (c) 50
4
Solution 9:- Husband and wife , so 2 members.
8 married sons = 8*2 = 16 members
Total children = 8*4 = 32
Total members in the family = 2+16+32 = 50
10 (b) 1 minute
Solution 10 :- All the three bells will toll together after time = LCM
(3,4,5) = 60 sec
= 1 minute.
1990
1 (a) Rs.15
Solution 1:- Let the price of the article = x Rs
Then, 2/3 *X = 1/3 * 30
X=15 Rs
2 (b) Rs.36
Solution 2:-Let the CP of the table = X rs,Then
X - 20 % of X = 144
Or X = 180 Rs
Loss = 180- 144 = 36 Rs.
3 (c) Rs.20
Solution 3:- SI for 2 years at a rate of 10 % per anumm = 2*10 =
20%
CI for 2 years at a rate of 10 % per anumm = 10+10+ 10*10/100 =
21%
Difference = 1% of P
= 1% of 2000
= 20 Rs.
4 (b) Rs.38.64
Solution 4 :- P = 420 Rs
T = 2 years
R1 = 4%
R2 = 5%
A= P(1+R1/100)(1+R2/100)
= 420 * 104/100 *105 /100
= 458.64 Rs
Interest = A-P
= 458.64- 420 =38.64 Rs
5 (a) 67,100
Solution 5:- Foreigners = 2/9 * 94500 = 21000
Immigrants = 6400
Natives = 94500 –(21000+6400)= 67100
6 (c) 625 m
Solution 6:-
1 km = 1000 m
5/8 * 1000 m = 625 m
7 (b) Rs.128
Solution 7:- Total Selling price of 8 Bicycles = 8*135 = 1080 Rs
Total Selling price of 7 Bicycles = 7*120 = 840 Rs
5
Average price of each bicycle = (1080+840)/(8+7)
=128 Rs.
8 (d) 20 minutes
Solution 8:- Walking together won’t reduce the time required by
them to reach the bus stand. They will take the same time i.e. 20
minutes to reach the bus stand.
9 (b) Rs.30
Solution 9:- Let B receives X rs as remuneration for his work
Then,
Total amount to be distributed among them = 150+150 = 300 Rs
Ratio of investment of A and B = 3:2
So B would have received 2/5 * 300 = 120 Rs
Amount actually received by B = 150
Amount receives as a part of his Remuneration = 150-120 = 30 Rs
10 (b) 3 hours 16 minutes
Solution 10 :-
Gain of time in 1st clock = 2 min per hour
Gain of time in 2nd clock = 1 min per hour
Time elapsed between 10 AM on Friday to 2 PM on Monday =
24+24+24+4 = 76 Hours
Time showed by the
Actual Time clock
60 min 61 min
76 hours X hours
60 /76 = 61 /X
On Solving, X = 77.26 Hours

Or 3 days ,5 hours and 16 minutes
So time = 3 :16
1992

1 (b) 1/3
Solution 1:- Increment in Price = 50 % =1/2
Now as Price * Quantity = Total Expenditure
Since quantity and price are inversely proportional therefore Quantity
must decrease by 1/3.
Alternate method :-
Let the Price per kg = 100 Rs
Quantity purchased initially = 100 Kg
Total expenditure = 10000 Rs
New Price = 150 % of 100 = 150 rs
Total expenditure = 10000
New quantity = 10000 / 150 = 66.66
Decrease in quantity = 33.33 %
6
2 (b) 750
Solution 2: Let the total male population in 1985 = M
Female population in 1985 = F
Then
10 % of M = 6 % of F
M:F = 3:5
So number of males in year 1985 = 3/8 * 2000 = 750.
3 (b) Rs.900
Solution 3 :- SP of Sofa Set = 90 % of 1100 = 990
Now , SP = 110% of CP as there is a profit of 10 % .
Therefore, 110 % of CP = 990
CP =900 Rs.
4 (a) 30 years, 50 years
Solution 4:- Let the present age of Ram = R and that of Shyam = S
Then,
R - 10 : S- 10 = 3 : 5 -------(1)
Also,
R:S =3:5 -------(2)
On solving the above equations, we have
R= 30 and S = 50 years
5 (b) 33 1/3 %
Solution 5:-
P% = article free / articles sold *100
P% = 1/3 *100 = 33 1/3 %.
Alternate method :--
Let the CP of three articles = 12 Rs

CP per article = 12/4 = 3 rs
SP of 3 articles = 12 Rs
SP of 1 article = 12/3 = 4 Rs
Profit % = (4-3)/3 * 100
= 33 1/3 %
6 (c) 5%
Solution 6:- Money becoming doubles means interest gained is 100%.
In 20 years , interest gained = 100%
In 1 year , = 100 /20 =5%.
7 (answer)
Solution 7:- Using the concept of men*time /work = constant
8 (c) 16 2/3%
Solution 8:- Let the salary of B = 100 Rs
Salary of A = 120 Rs
Therefore B earns less than A = 20/120 *100 = 16.66%.
Alternate method:-
A is 20 % = 1/5 More than B
So B is 1/6 i.e. 16.66 % less than A.
9 (a) 60 hours
Solution 9:- Let the total work = 30 units
Father works = 60/30 =2 units per hour
Together they do = 60/20 = 3 units per hour
7
That means that efficiency of son = 1 unit per hour
Working alone, son will complete the work in = 60/1 = 60 hours
10 Option (a) and (c) are same
Solution 10:- Number of days he worked = X
Number of days he was absent = 6 –X
= 6- X days
His earnings = m*X - (6-X) n
= (m+n)X -6n
1993

1 (b) 30 days
Solution 1:- Using the formula M*T/W = constant ,
20*60 /40 = 10 *D/10
D = 30 days
2 (a) 60 years
Solution 2:- A=2/3 B
A’s present age = 45-5 = 40 years
B’s present age = 40*3/2 = 60 Years
3 (a) 11 years
Solution 3:- A =2B – 2
A= 20 ,
B= 20+2 / 2 = 11 years
4 (b) 48%
Solution 4:- SP = 152% of CP
75 = 152 /100 * CP
CP = 50 Rs
On selling the article at 74 Rs
Gain = 74-50 = 24 Rs
Gain % = 24/50 *100 = 48%.
5 (d) 11 1/9%
Solution 5:- Decrement in Salary = 10 % = 1/10
Corresponding increment must be of 1/9 = 11 1/9 %
6 (b) Re.1
Solution 6 :- SI for 2 years @ 5% per anumm = 2*5 = 10%
CI for 2 years @ 5% per anumm= 5+ 5+ 5*5/100 = 10.25 %
Difference = 10.25-10 = 0.25 % of 400
= 1 Rs.
7 (c)8%
Solution 7:- Since SI is same for all the years also CI and SI are equal
for 1st year . Therefore we can say that we have gained extra 2 rs
because of 25 additional Rs counted as principal.
Year SI CI
1 25 25
2 25 27
So,Rate of interest
I = 2/25 *100 = 8%.
8
8 (c) Rs.15350
Solution 8:- Interest to be paid at the end of 1st year = 10% of 50000 =
5000 Rs.
Amount paid = 21500
Amount remaining = (50000+5000 – 21500)
= 33500
Interest to be paid at the end of 2nd year = 10% of 33500 = 3350 Rs
Amount paid = 21500
Amount remaining = (33500+3350 -21500) = 15350 Rs.
9 (a) 402.50, 805, 241.50
Solution 9:- A:B:C
1 1 1
: :
= 6 3 10
Multiplying by 30
A:B:C
=5:10:3
Share of A = 5/18 * 1449 = 402.50

Share of B = 10/18* 1449 = 805
Share of C = 3/18 * 1449 = 241.50 .
Solution 10:- Failed in mathematics = n(A) = 50%
Failed in English = n(B) = 40%
Failed in both = n(A∩B) = 26%
n(AᴜB) = Failed in either Subject
Using the below formula,
n(AᴜB) = n(A) + n(B) – n(A∩B)
n(AᴜB)= 50+40-26 = 64%
Passed in both the subjects = 100- 64 = 36 %
1994

1 (b) Rs. 300
Solution 1:-
Let the money with A = A rs
Money with B = B rs
Money with C = C rs then,
A= 3B - - - - - - -(1)
Also
A= C+25 - - - - - -(2)
A+B+C = 675 - - - - - - -(3)
From (1) , (2) and (3),
A + A/3 + A- 25 = 675
On solving,
A= 300.
2 (c) Rs. 2
9
Solution 2:- 2 Men = 5 Boys
Also,
2 Women = 3Boys
Now, 6 M+12 W+17 B = 100

6*(5/2) B + 12* (3/2) B + 17 B = 100
50 B = 100
B= 2 Rs.
3 (c) 12.21%
Solution 3:- Amount accumulated in 5 years =
A= 100 (1+10/100)^5
= 161.051
Interest received = 161.051 – 100 = 61.051
To get this much SI in 5 years,

SI received per year = 161.051/5 = 12.21 %
Rate of interest = 12.21 /100 *100 = 12.21%.
4 (a) 24 hours
Solution 4:- Let the total capacity of the tank = 120 litres
A fills = 120/10 = 12 litres per hour
B fills = 120/15 = 8 litres per hour
C empties = 120/8 = 15 litres per hour
If all the three pipes work together , the amount of water filled in 1
hour = (12+8) -15 = 5litres
To fill the tank completely, time req = 120 /5 = 24 Hours.
5 (a) Rs. 200
Solution 5:- Rate of Tax = 6%
Let the total income of man = X
Then,
94% of X =9400
X =10000
If tax is reduced by 2 %
New rate of tax = 6-2 = 4%
Tax in Rs = 4% of 10000 = 400 Rs
Increase in income = 9600-9400 = 200 Rs
6 (b) Rs. 2400
Solution 6:-
Let his income = X
66 2/3 % of X = 50 % of (X+800)
X= 2400 Rs
7 (a) 50 years
Solution 6:-
Let his income = X
66 2/3 % of X = 50 % of (X+800)
X= 2400 Rs
8 (c) Loss of Rs. 2
Solution 8:- Whenever 2 articles are sold at same SP, one at a loss of
X% and the other one at a profit of X% then there is always Overall
loss in such transactions given by
10
L =(X/10)^2%
therefore Loss in the above mentioned cases = L = (5/10)^2 %
= 0.25 % loss
Total SP = 399*2 = 798 Rs
L= 0.25%
99.75 % of CP = 798
CP =800 Rs
Loss = 800- 798 = 2 Rs.
9 (b) 20
Solution 9:- Ways for going from A to B = 4
Ways of going from B to C = 5
Ways of going from A to C Via B = 4*5 = 20.
10 (a) 88
Solution 10:- Total number of Advocates, P(A u B u C) = 400
Number of advocates who joined services P(A) = 112
Number of advocates who took up practice P(B) = 120
Number of advocates who Joined firms P(C) = 160
Joined the service, and also practicedP(A n B) = 32
Joined assistantship and also practiced P(B n C) = 40
Joined assistantship and also practiced , P(A n C) = 20
Who did all three P(A n B n C) = 12
P(A u B u C) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) – P(A n B) – P(A n C) – P(B n C)

+ P(A n B n C)
= 112+120+160 – 32-40-20 + 12
= 312
Who did nothing = 400 – 312 = 88
11 (b) 960
Solution 11:- Selection of 3 bowlers can be done in = 4C3 = 4 ways
Selection of 1 Wicketkeeper can be done in = 2c1 = 2 ways
Now 4 players are already selected, we need to select 7 additional
players each of whom must be a batsman , the same can be done in =
10C7 ways = 120 ways
So total ways of selecting the team = 4 * 2 * 120 = 960 ways.
12 (d) None of the above
Solution 12:- Let Cp = X
P = X% of CP
= X% of X
SP = 56
X + X% of X = 56
X =40 Rs.
13 (a) 64
Solution 13:- Let the numbers be X and X+1, then
X/4 – (X+1)/5 = 3
X= 64.
14 (a) 2880
Solution 14:- As we do not want the boys to sit together, we will first
arrange the girls
5 Girls can be arranged around a circular table in = (5-1)! = 24 ways
11
Now we have 5 spaces (alternate spaces between girls)and 5 Boys to
sit on them, which can be done in 5! = 120 ways
So total no of ways = 24*120 = 2880 ways.
15 (a) 1400
Solution 15:- Let the CP of Horse = H Rs
And that of Cow = C rs
Then,
125% of H + 110 % of C = 3040
110% of H + 125 % of C = 3070
On solving we have,
H = 1200
C = 1400.
1995
1 (b) Rs. 3200
Solution 1:- Let the Stock be of X rs.
Then
Brokerage = 1/8% of 2X = 8 ( as Brokerage is calculated on
Buying as well as Selling)
X = 3200 Rs.
2 (b) 7 ½ days
Solution 2:- Let the total work =60 Units
Work done by A per day = 60/12 = 5 units
Work done by B per day = 60/20 = 3 units
Working together they will complete = 5+3 = 8 units per day
Time req to complete the work =60 /8 = 7.5 days
3 (e) None of these
Solution 3:- In half an hour the first train will cover = 60* ½ = 30
Km
Now from 9.00 a.m. both the trains will be moving in same
direction.
Distance to be covered = 30 Km
Relative speed = 70 -60 = 10 kmph
Time req. to meet = 30/10 = 3 hrs
So from Bangalore ,the trains will meet at an distance of = 3 * 70 =
210 Km.
4 (b) 19
Solution 4:- Let the total correct ans be C and the wrong ans be W
Then ,
C+W =25 - - - - -(1)
Also
4C + W(-1) = 70 - - - - - -(2)
From (1) and (2),
C= 19 .
5 (a) 49
Solution 5:- Let the side of original square = a units, then
(a-3)(a+3) = 40
a= 7
12
Area of original square = 7*7 = 49 units.
6 1
(a) 23 days
3
Solution 6:- Let the total work = 25 *20 = 500 units
Work completed in 1st ten days = 25 *10 =250 Units
Remaining work = 500-250 = 250 units
Work completed in next 10 days = 20*10 = 200 units
Remaining work = 250-200 = 50 Units

85 (d) Vivek should pay Rs. 64 to Vijay
Solution 85:- Money spent by Vivek = 1000 – 576 = 424 Rs
Money spent by Vijay = 1000 – 448 = 552 Rs
Money spent by Babu = 1000 – 512 = 488 Rs
Total money spent = 1464
Each should contribute = 1464/3 = 488
Now as Babu has already contributed 488 Rs
So only Vivek needs to pay = 488-424 = 64 Rs to Vijay .

25
Solution 86:- Milk in the initial sol = 5/8 *20 = 12.5 litres
Water in the initial sol = 3/8 * 20 = 7.5 litres
When 4 litres are drawn,
Milk withdrawn = 5/8 * 4 = 2.5 litres
Water withdrawn = 3/8 *4 = 1.5 litres
Milk left in the container = 12.5 – 2.5 = 10 litres
Water left in the container = 7.5-1.5 =6 litres
Ratio of milk and water in the remaining mixture = 10:6
Or 5:3.

= 320 Rs
110 (a) 84%
Solution 110:- Let total students = 100
Number of girls = 60
Number of boys =40
10% of the boys = 10% of 40 = 4
20% of the girls = 20% of 60 = 12
Number of students scoring O grade = 12+ 4 = 16
Number of students who didn’t score O Grade = 100 – 16 = 84.
Hence 84 % .
111 (d) None
Solution 111 :- Total cost of 260 + 300 = 560 Kg = 260* 2 + 300
*3.6
= 520+ 1080 = 1600 Rs
CP of 1 kg = 1600/560 = 2.87 Rs
SP of 1 kg = 3 Rs
Gain = 3-2.87 = 0.13
Gain % = .13/2.87 *100 = 4.52 %.
112 (b) 12.10

104 (b) loss of Rs.40
Solution 104 :- Whenever 2 things are sold at same Selling price, One
with a loss of X% and the other one at a profit of X%, then in such
transactions there is always a loss given by ,
L% = (x/10)^2 %
In this case,
L% = (20/10)^2 %
= 4% loss
Total SP = 480+480 = 960 Rs
Now since there is a loss of 4%, therefore
96% of CP = 960 Rs
Or Cp = 1000 Rs
Hence Loss = CP – SP
Loss = 1000 - 960 = 40 Rs
