= 913.34 = 9?
Therefore, ? = 13.34
2. (3);
?= = 877.5
3. (2);
146.6521 + ?2 = 732.2921

= 585.64
=?= = 24.2

4. (1);
x 114 = 8208

The given number series is based on the following pattern:
20 + 22 = 24
24 + 32 = 33
33 + 42 = 49
49 + 52 = 74
74 + 52 = 74

74 + 62 = 110
Therefore, ? = 110 + 72
= 110 + 49 =
12. (5);
529 = 23 x 23
841 = 29 x 29
961 = 31 x 31
1369 = 37 x 37
1681 = 41 x 41
1849 = 43 x 43
Therefore, ? = 47 x 47 =
Here, the numbers are formed by squaring the prime numbers greater than 23.
13. (4);
16 x 1.5 = 24
24 x 2 = 48
48 x 2.5 = 120
120 x 3 = 360
360 x 3.5 = 1260
Therefore, ? = 1260 x 4 =
14. (1);
8 x 4 – 1 = 32 – 1 = 31
31 x 4 – 2 = 124 – 2 = 122

122 x 4 – 3 = 488 – 3 = 485
485 x 4 – 4 = 1940 – 4 = 1936
1936 x 4 – 5 = 7744 – 5 = 7739
∴ ? = 7739 x 4 – 6
= 30956 – 6 =
15. (2);
499 + 1 x 123 = 622
622 + 2 x 123 = 868
868 + 3 x 123 = 1237
1237 + 4 x 123 = 1729
1729 + 5 x 123 = 2344
∴ ? = 2344 + 6 x 123
= 2344 + 738 =
16. (3);
Total number of passed students in 2005
= 76 + 77 + 91 + 91 + 72 + 80
= 396
Total number of failed students in 2005
= 12 + 10 + 7 + 15 + 4 = 48
∴ required ratio = 396: 48
= 33:4
17. (4);
Total number of passed students in class X over the years
= 75 + 91 + 80 + 78 + 66 + 59

= 449
Total number of failed students in class X over the years
= 13 + 6 + 4 + 12 + 9 + 14 = 58
∴ Total number of students
= 449 + 58 = 507
∴ Required percentage
= x 100 = 88.56
18. (1);
Total number of passed students for all the classes in the year 2007
= 69 + 80 + 76 + 78 + 66
= 369
19. (1);
Average number of failed students from Class VI for the given years
= =
=8
20. (2);
Number of failed students over the years:
Class VI – 6 + 9 + 12 + 10 + 7 + 4 = 48
Class VII – 9 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 13 + 15 = 68
Class VIII – 10 + 4 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 8 = 39
Class IX – 10 + 11 + 15 + 13 + 8 + 6 = 63
Hence, Class VII has the maximum number of failed students.
21. (3);
Number of students enrolled in MIB course
= 1384 + 1783 + 1347 + 1473 + 1098 = 10104

Required average =
= 1443
22. (5);
Number of students of MFC in Chennai = 1342
Number of students of MPM in Chennai = 1666
= x 100 = 80.55 = 81
23. (5);
Required percentage
= x 100
= 89.5 = 90
24. (2);
Total number of MIB students from all cities together = 10104
Total number of MFC students from all cities together = 1234 + 1156 + 1187 + 1342 + 1230 + 1456 +
1239 = 8844
∴ Required difference
= 10104 – 8844 = 1260
25. (4);
Total number of students:
Bangalore – 1156 + 1783 + 1873 + 1003 + 1340 = 7156
Chennai – 1342 + 1473 + 1129 + 1765 + 1666 = 7375
New Delhi – 1230 + 1098 + 1128 + 1865 + 1777 = 7098
Hyderabad – 1456 + 1234 + 1556 + 1653 + 1789 = 7688
Kolkata – 1239 + 1785 + 1865 + 1504 + 1762 = 8155
The number of students was highest in Kolkata.

26. (1);
The corresponding angle for commuting = 79.2o
∴ 360o = 45800
∴ o = x 79.2
= Rs. 10076
27. (4);
Required ratio = 39.6 : 82.8 = 396 : 828 = 11 : 23
28. (2);
Corresponding angle for entertainment and shopping to gather
= 36 + 68.4 = 104.4o
Because, 360o + 45800
= Rs. 13282
29. (5);
Corresponding total angle for groceries, entertainment and investments together
= 82.8 + 36 + 54 = 172.8
Corresponding angle for commuting = 79.2
= x 100 = 218
30. (3);
Required percentage
= x 100 = 57.89
31. (2);
C.I. = P [(1 + )T - 1]
= 312 = P [(1 + )2 - 1]

= 312 = P ( - 1)
= 312 = P ( )
=P= = Rs. 1875
∴ SI =
= = Rs. 300
32. (3);
Let the breadth of the original rectangle be x cm.
∴ Length = (x + 7) cm.
According to the question,
X (x + 7) = (x + 7 - 4) (x + 3)
= x2 + 7x = x2 + 6x + 9
=x=9
∴ Perimeter of original rectangle
= 2 (x + 7 + x) = 4x + 14
= 4 x 9 + 14 = 50 cm.
33. (3);
Let the number be 10 x + y where x < y
∴x+y= ………(i)
And 10y + x – 10x – y = 54
=y–x= ………(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii)
Y=9
From equations (i), x = 3
∴ Number =
34. (4);

Total cost price
= 200 x 10 = Rs. 2000
Total selling price = 12 x 195
= Rs. 2340
∴ Profit per cent
= x 100 = 17%
35. (4);
Let the breadth of the rectangle be x metre.
∴ Length = 3x metre
∴ x× x= = 75
= x2 = 25
=x=5
∴ Perimeter of the rectangle
= 2 (3x + x) = 8 x
= 8 x 5 = 40 meters
