PREFACE
This book "IDEAL MAT" has been designed strictly based on the revised syllabus of
MBBS, BDS, B.Sc., Nursing entrance examination. This book is really hidden teasure for
those hard working and passionate students, who plan to appear in a competitive
examination.
How to solve a question is not significant in such examinations. The most important
aspect is to solve a question in a fraction of minute using shortcut methods.
I express my deep appreciation to Mrs. Kritana Rijal (Nirvana Publication), Dr. Nabin
Sharma (NAME) and Mr. Madhav Pandey (CEDEP) and Dr. Krishna Raj Adhikari for their
valuable suggestions.
Finally, constructive criticisms and valuable suggestions for improvement of this

book will be highly acknowledged.
All the best !!

 If "P" can do a piece of work in "n" days, 12
1 Similarly,
then P's 1 days work = .
n 60
1 hour work of Einstin (E) = = 4 unit
1 15
 If P's 1 day's work = , then A can finish the
n (N + E), which means work done by both in 1
work in "n" days. hour is 5 + 4 = 9 unit
 If P is thrice as good a workman as Q, then: 60 20
For total work, =
▪ Ratio of work done by "P" and "Q" = 3:1 9 3
▪ Ratio of times taken by "P" and "Q" to 2. A and B can do a piece of work in 12 days,
finish work = 1:3
while B alone can finish it in 30 days. A
 If M1 person can do w1 work in D1 days for alone can finish the work in?
H1 hours and M2 person can do w2 work in D2 a. 3 days b. 10 days
days for H2 hours, then,

DISTANCE AND DIRECTION

Key points and formulae About Turn
Direction Left turn = Anti clockwise direction
We make our concept of direction after seeing the Right turn = Clockwise direction
position of Sun, in our daily life. It is universal
truth that, Sunrises in the East and set in the West. It is more clear from pictorial representation
Thus when a person is stand facing Sunrise, then Right turn Left turn
his front is called East, his back is called West. At
this position his left hand is in the Northward and
right hand is in the South ward.

HINTS AND SOLUTIONS

Q.N. Answer Explanation
1. a Required sum = (80 – 3 × 3) years = (80 – 9) years = 71 years.
2. c
3. a Let the number of persons be x. Then,
96 96 1 1 4 x – (x – 4) 1
– =4 – =  =
x–4 x x – 4 x 96 x(x – 4) 34
 x2 – 4x – 96 = 0
 (x – 12) (x + 8) = 8  x = 12
So, required number = x – 4 = 8.

4. c Clearly, we have:
B – 3 = E ...(i)
B + 3 = D ......(ii)
A + B = D + E+10 .......(iii)
B = C + 2 ......(iv)
A + B + C + D + E= 133 ......(v)
From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E .....(vi)
From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 ......(vii)
Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:
(B + 10) + B + (B – 2) + 2B = 133  5B = 125  B = 25.
5. c Let the number of pineapples and watermelons be x and y respectively:
38 – 7x
Then, 7x + 5y = 38 or 5y = (38 – 7x) or y =
5
Clearly, y is a whole number, only when (38 – 7x) is divisible by 5.
This happens when x = 4.
6. c ............... be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral .......... the woman's age.
Then, woman's age = (10X + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years.
Therefore (10y + x) – (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y)
(9y – 9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y)  10x = 8y  x = (4/5)y
Clearly, y should he a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5.
So, x = 4, y = 5.
Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.
7. b Clearly, while counting, the numbers associated to the thumb will be: 1, 9, 17, 25,
................
i.e. numbers of the-form (8n + 1).
Since 1994 = 249 × 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index
finger.
8. d Let number of notes of each denomination hex.
Then, x + 5x + 10x = 480  6x = 480  x = 30.
Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 90. .
9. d Since one of the numbers on the dial of a telephone is zero, so the product of all the
numbers on it is 0.
10. c Since B and D are twins, so B = (D)
Now, A = B + 3 and A = C – 3.
Thus, B + 3 = C – 3  D + 3 = C – 3  C – D = 6.
11. c Clearly, every member except one (i.e. the winner) must lose one game to decide the
winner. Thus, minimum number of matches to be played = 30 – 1 = 29.

12. c Each row contains 12 plants.
There are 11 gapes between the two corner trees (11 × 2) metres and 1 metre on each side
is left.
Therefore Length = (22 + 2) m = 24 m.
13. b Manick's present age = 12 years, Rahul's present age = 4 years.
Let Manick be twice as old as Rahul after x years from now.
Then, 12 + x = 2 (4 + x)  12 + x = 8 + 2x  x = 4.
Hence, Manick's required age = 12 + x = 16 years.
14. d Number of cuts made to cut a roll into 10 pieces = 9.
Therefore Required number of rolls = (45 × 24)/9 = 120.
15. c Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively.
Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5.
So, number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10.
Number of students not participating in sports = 60 – (15 + 10) = 35.
Let number of boys not participating in sports be y.
Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 – y).
Therefore (35 – y) = y + 5  2y  30  y = 15.
So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 – 15) = 20.
Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30.
16. d Let k and y be the number of deer and peacocks in the zoo respectively.
Then,
x + y = 80 ...(i) and
4x + 2y = 200 or 2x + y = 100 ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get) x = 20, y = 60.
17. a Since there are socks of only two colours, so two out of any three socks must always be of
the same colour.
18. d Total number of routes from Bristol to Carlisle = (4 × 3 × 2) = 24.
19. c Let money with Ken = x. Then, money with Mac = x + £ 3.
Now, 3x = (x + x + £ 3) + £ 2  x = £ 5.
Therefore Total money with Mac and Ken = 2x + £ 3 = £ 13.
20. b Let the number of boys be x. Then, (3/4)x = 18 or x = 18 x(4/3) = 24.
If total number of students is y, then (2/3)y = 24 or y = 24 × (3/2) = 36.
Therefore Number of girls in the class = (36 – 24) = 12.
21. b Let son's age be x years. Then, father's age = (3x) years.
Five years ago, father's age = (3x – 5) years and son's age = (x – 5) years.
So, 3x – 5 = 4 (x – 5)  3x – 5 = 4x – 20  x = 15.

25. b L.C.M. of 6, 5, 7, 10 and 12.is 420.
So, the bells will toll together after every 420 seconds i.e. 7 minutes.
Now, 7 × 8 = 56 and 7 × 9 = 63.
Thus, in 1-hour (or 60 minutes), the bells will toll together 8 times, excluding the one at
the start.
26. d Originally, let number of women= x. Then, number of men = 2x.
So, in city Y, we, have: (2x – 10) = (x + 5) or x – 15.
Therefore Total number of passengers in the beginning = (x + 2x) = 3x = 45.
27. a Clearly, we have:
A = B – 3 ...(i)
D + 5 = E ...(ii)
A+C = 2E ...(iii)
B + D = A+C = 2E ...(iv)
A + B + C + D + E =150 ...(v)
From (iii), (iv) and (v), we get: SE = 150 or E = 30.
Putting E = 30 in (ii), we get: D = 25.
Putting E = 30 and D = 25 in (iv), we get: B = 35.
Putting B = 35 in (i), we get: A = 32.
Putting A = 32 and E = 30 in (iii), we get: C = 28.
28. b Since each pole at the corner of the plot is common to its two sides, so we have:
Total number of poles needed = 27 × 4 – 4 = 108 – 4 = 104.

Also, A + 4 = 31 or A= 31– 4 = 27.
Putting A = 27 in (i), we get: B = 9.
Putting A = 27 in (ii), we get C = 50.
31. c Let Varan's age today = x years.
Then, Varan's age after 1 year = (x + 1) years.
Therefore x + 1 = 2 (x – 12)  x + 1 = 2x – 24  x = 25.
32. a There were all sparrows but six' means that six birds were not sparrows but only pigeons
and ducks.
Similarly, number of sparrows + number of ducks = 6 and number of sparrows + number
of pigeons = 6.
This is possible when there are 3 sparrows, 3 pigeons and 3 ducks i.e. 9 birds in all.
33. b Let the value of the holiday be x.
Then, pay for seven weeks' work = £ 300 + x.

36. b Let total number of members be 100,
Then, number of members owning only 2 cars = 20.
Number of members owning 3 cars = 40% of 80 = 32.
Number of members owning only 1 car = 100 – (20 + 32) = 48.
Thus, 48% of the total members own one car each.
37. b Let total number of members be 100,
Then, number of members owning only 2 cars = 20.
Number of members owning 3 cars = 40% of 80 = 32.
Number of members owning only 1 car = 100 – (20 + 32) = 48.
Thus, 48% of the total members own one car each.
38. c Let number of horses = number of men = x.
Then, number of legs = 4x + 2 × (x/2) = 5x.
So, SX =70 or x = 14.
39. a When Ravi's brother was born, let Ravi's father's age = x years and mother's age = y years.
Then, sister's age = (x – 28) years. So, x – 28 = 4 or x = 32.
Ravi's age = (y – 26) years. Age of Ravi's brother = (y – 26 + 3) years = (y – 23) years.
Now, when Ravi's brother was born, his age = 0 i.e. y – 23 = 0 or y =23.
40. c Let number of girls = x and number of boys = 3x.
Then, 3x + x = 4x = total number of students.
Thus, to find exact value of x, the total number of students must be divisible by 4.
41. c 'All but nine died' means 'All except nine died' i.e. 9 sheep remained alive.

Then,
R + G + B = 108...(i),
G + R = 2B ...(ii)
B = 2R ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R.
Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get:
R + 3R + 2R = 108 ,;=;,' 6R = 108 '',. R = 18. I
Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 × 18) = 54.

44. d Total runs scored = (36 × 5) = 180.
Let the runs scored by E be x.
Then, runs scored by D = x + 5; runs scored by A = x + 8;
runs scored by B = x + x + 5 = 2x + 5;
runs scored by, C = (107 – B) = 107 – (2x + 5) = 102 – 2x.
So, total runs = (x + 8) + (2x + 5) + (102 – 2x) + (x + 5) + x = 3x + 120.
Therefore 3x + 120 = 180  3X = 60  x = 20.
45. b Total number of digits

46. b Let d and s represent the number of daughters and sons respectively.
Then, we have
d – 1 = s and 2 (s – 1) = (D)
Solving these two equations, we get: d = 4, s = 3.

His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years.
Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years.
Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 – 10) years = 25 years.
Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 – 2) years = 23 years.

59. d Since the area is halved on folding, so each time the paper is folded in the centre i.e. its
thickness becomes two-fold each time. So, We have:
Thickness after 1 fold = 2 mm;

There are 10 such numbers.
Numbers from 1 to 60, the sum of whose digits is 6 are : 6, 15, 24, 33, 42, 51, 60.
There are 7 such numbers of which 4 are common to the above ones. So, there are 3such
uncommon numbers.
Numbers from 1 to 60, which have 6 as one of the digits are 6, 16, 26, 36, 46, 56, 60.
Clearly, there are 4 such uncommon numbers.
So, numbers 'not connected with 6' = 60 – (10 + 3 + 4) = 43.

63. c The seven pieces consist of 6 smaller equal pieces and one half cake piece.
Weight of each small piece = 20 g.
So, total weight of the cake = [2 × (20 × 6)]g= 240 g.
64. b Let the number of 20-paise coins be x. Then, number of 25-paise coins = (324–x).
Therefore 0.20 × x + 0.25 (324 – x) = 71  20x + 25 (324 – x) = 7100
 5x = 1000  x = 200. Hence, number of 25-paise coins = (324 – x) – 124.
65. c Clearly, the black cards are either clubs or spades while the red cards are either diamonds
or hearts.
Let the number of spades be x. Then, number of clubs = (7 – x).
Number of diamonds = 2 x number of spades = 2x;
Number of hearts = 2 x number of diamonds = 4x.
Total number of cards = x + 2x + 4x + 7 – x = 6x + 7.
Therefore 6x + 7 = 13  6x = 6  x – 1.
Hence, number of clubs = (7 – x) = 6.

 (3x + 14) is divisible by 28  x = 14.
Therefore Total number of sweets = (25 × 14 + 8) = 358.

Therefore (9x + 11) + 27 = 10(11 – x) + x  9x + 38 = 110 – 9x  18x = 72  x = 4.
Thus, ten's digit = 4 and unit's digit = 7.
Hence, required number = 47.

Income on the 2nd day = Rs. (1 × 2) = Rs. 21.
Income on the 3rd day = Rs. (21 × 2) = Rs. 22 and so on. Thus, Income on the rath day =

Therefore Income on the 10th day = Rs. 29.
75. b Clearly, we have to first find two numbers whose difference is 2 and of which the smaller
one is a perfect square and the bigger one a perfect cube.
Such numbers are 25 and 27.
Thus, Nitin is now 26 years ol(D) Since the next perfect cube after 27 is 64, so required

So, total time taken = 120 minutes = 2 hours.
78. b Since the number of carbons is 2, only two copies can be obtained.
79. b No. of digits in 1-digit page nos. = 1 × 9 = 9.
No. of digits in 2-digit page nos. = 2 × 90 = 180.
No. of digits in 3-digit page nos. = 3 × 900 = 2700.
No. of digits in 4-digit page nos. = 3189 – (9 + 180 + 2700) = 3189 – 2889 = 300.
Therefore No. of pages with 4-digit page nos. = (300/4) = 75.
Hence, total number of pages = (999 + 75) = 1074.

1. C In each step, element at the upper-right position gets enlargeed, inverts vertically
and reacches the lower-left corner; the existing element at the lower-left position,
is lost and
a a new small element appears at the upper-right possition.
2. D In each step, the CW-end element moves to the ACW-end position.
3. A One, tw
wo, three, one, two, three.....arcs get inverted sequentiially. This inversion
takes pllace in an ACW direction.
4. A In One step, the middle element rotates through 180o and in i the next step, the
other tw
wo elements rotate through 180o. The two steps are reppeated alternately.

HINTS AND SOLUTIONS
Sheet
1. D The third figure in each row comprises of parts which are not common to the
first two figures.
2. B In each row, the second figure is obtained from the first figure by adding two
mutually perpendicular line segments at the centre and the third figure is
obtained from the first figure by adding four circles outside the main figure.
3. A In each row, the third figure comprises of a black circle and only those line
segments which are not common to the first and the second figures.
4. C In each column, the second figure (middle figure) is obtained by removing the
upper part of the first figure (uppermost figure) and the third figure
(lowermost figure) is obtained by vertically inverting the upper part of the
first figure.

5. C The third figure in each row comprises of the parts common to the first two
figures.
6. B The third figure in each row comprises of the parts which are not common to
the first two figures.
7. A The number of components in each row either increases or decreases from left
to right. In the third row, it increases.
8. A In each row, the second figure is obtained from the first figure by increasing
the number of smaller elements by one and the third figure is obtained from
the second figure by increasing the number of smaller elements by one.
9. C The third figure in each row comprises of parts which are not common to the
first two figures.
10. A Each row (as well as each column) contains a figure consisting of a circle and
two line segments, a figure consisting of a circle and three line segments and
a figure consisting of a circle and four line segments.
11. A In each row, the second figure is obtained from the first figure by reversing
the direction of the RHS arrow and the third figure is obtained from the
second figure by reversing the direction of both the arrows.
12. B In each row, the figures are getting laterally inverted in each step. The
number of components or the quantities are either increasing or decreasing
from left to right sequentially.
13. C The second figure is obtained from the first figure by moving the line
segment to the opposite side of the square boundary and replacing it with two
similar line segments. Also, the element in the lower-left corner gets replaced
by two similar elements - one placed in the upper-left and the other placed in
the lower-right corner.
14. D In each row, there are 3 types of shadings of circles - a circle is unshaded,
another circle has its right half shaded with vertical lines and yet another
circle has its upper half shaded with horizontal lines. There are three specified
positions of the two triangles each of which is used only once in a row. Also,
two of the figures in each row have one triangle shaded.
15. C In each row, the third figure is a collection of the common elements (line
segments) of the first and the second figures.
16. B The two parts of the first figure are rearranged and joined along the longer
sides. The common side is then lost to form the second figure.
17. C The second figure is a part of the first figure (but is not exactly the same as
the first figure).
18. A In each row, the central part of the first figure rotates either 90o CW or
90o ACW to form the central part of the second figure and the central part of
the first figure rotates through 180o to form the central part of the third figure.
Also, in each row, there are 3 types of side elements - rectangles, circles and
triangles.
19. B In each column, the third figure (lowermost figure) contains one less number
of hexagons as the first figure (uppermost figure) and the same number of
trees as the second figure (middle figure).

20. B There are 3 types of faces, 3 types of bodies, 3 types of hands and 3 types of
legs, each of which is used only once in a single row. So, the features which
have not been used in the first two figures of the third row would combine to
produce the missing figure.
21. D In each row, the second figure is obtained by removing the outermost element
of the first figure and the third figure is obtained by removing the outermost
element of the second figure.
22. C In each row (as well as in each column), the number of rectangles in the
second figure is two times the number of rectangles in the first figure and the
number of rectangles in the third figure is three times the number of
rectangles in the first figure.
23. C There are 3 types of shadings in the triangles, 3 types of legs, 3 positions of
circles, each of which is used only once in a single row. The circle is shaded
in alternate figures.
24. D In each row, the third figure is a combination of the first and second figures.
25. D In each row (as well as each column), the third figure is a combination of all
the, elements of the first and the second figures.
26. C In each row, the triangle follows the circle, the square follows the triangle and
the circle follows the square. In case of the third row, the above rule exists for
the inner as well as the outer elements.
27. D In each row, the second figure forms the innermost and the outermost
elements of the third figure and the first figure forms the middle element of
the third figure.
28. B In each row, the second figure is obtained by shading one of the four parts of
the first figure and the third figure is obtained by shading two out of the four
parts of the first figure.
29. B The third figure in each row comprises of parts which are not common to the
first two figures.
30. D In each row, there are three types of outer elements (circle, triangle and
square), three types of inner elements (circle, triangle and square) and three
types of shadings in the inner elements (black, white and lines).
31. A In each row, there are three types of arrows - an arrow with a single head and
without any base, an arrow with double head having a circle at its base, an
arrow with triple head having a rectangle at its base. Also, in each row, the
arrows point in three directions - upwards, downwards and towards the right.
32. C In each row, the number of elements in the third figure is equal to the
difference in the number of elements in the first and second figures. Also, the
third figure has the same types of elements (if any) as the elements in the first
figure.
33. B In each row, the second figure is obtained by rotating the first figure through
90o CW or 90o ACW and adding a circle to it. Also, the third figure is
obtained by adding two circles to the first figure (without rotating the figure).
34. D There are 3 types of faces, 3 types of hands and 3 types of legs. Each type is
used once in each row! So, the features not used in the first two figures of the
third row would together form the missing figure.
35. B In each row, the first figure is rotated through 90o CW to obtain the second
figure and the second figure is rotated through 90o CW to obtain the third
figure.
