Time taken by ‗B‘ to complete the work = 12 – 4 = 8 Quantity I = 48.6 km
days
Quantity II:
Let the total work = 24 units
Let the speed of boat in still water is ‗10x‘ km/h
Efficiency of ‗A‘ = 24/12 = 2 units/day
Speed of boat in downstream = 1.375 × 10x = 13.75x
Efficiency of ‗B‘ = 24/8 = 3 units/day km/h
Work completed in 4 days = 4 × (2 + 3) = 20 units Speed of boat in upstream = 10x – 3.75 = 6.25 km/h
Remaining work = 24 – 20 = 4 units So, 6.25x = 150/7.5 = 20
Let the efficiency of ‗C‘ be ‗x‘ units/day x = 3.2
According to the question, Speed of boat in still water = 32 km/h
(2 + x) = 4 Desired distance = 32 × 1.5 = 48 km
Or, x = 2 units/day Quantity II = 48 km
Time taken by ‗C‘ to complete 50% of the work alone = So, Quantity I > Quantity II

Quantity I:
Quantity I:
According to the question,
Let the speed of boat in downstream and upstream speed
be 5x km/h and 4x km/h, respectively. {(x × 2) + 4(x + 500)}/{6 × (x – 500)} = 17/12
According to question; Or, 12x + 4000 = 17x – 8500
45/5x + 30/4x = 5.5 Or, x = Rs. 2500
9/x + 7.5/x = 5.5 Therefore, sum invested by Saksham = Rs. (x – 500) =

Rs. 2000
16.5/x = 5.5
Quantity II:
x=3
According to the question,
Downstream speed = 5x = 15 km/h
(y × 24 × 5)/100 + y = 7700
Upstream speed = 4x = 12 km/h
Or, 11y/5 = 7700
Speed of boat in still water = (15 + 12) ÷ 2 = 13.5 km/h
Or, y = Rs. 3500
Required distance covered = 13.5 × 3.6 = 48.6 km

Quantity I: Quantity I:
Let the present age of ‗A‘ be ‗x‘ years 142 + 25 = 167
Therefore, present age of ‗B‘ = (68 – x) years 167 + 50 = 217
According to the question, 217 + 150 = 367
(68 – x + 18) = 1.25(x + 4) 367 + 600 = 967
Or, 86 – x = 1.25x + 5 967 + 3000 = 3967
Or, x = 81/2.25 = 36 years. Therefore, x = 217
Required difference = 2x – 68 = 4 years Quantity II:
Quantity II: 313 – 23 = 290
Let the time for which Prashank invested his sum be ‗x‘ 290 + 46 = 336
years
336 – 69 = 267
Therefore, time for which Shivam invested his sum = (x
+ 1.5) years 267 + 92 = 359
Ratio of the profits received by Prashank and Shivam 359 – 115 = 244
= (4200 × x):{(3600 × (x + 1.5)} = 14/15 Therefore, y = 244
Or, 15x = 12x + 18 Quantity III:
Or, x = 6 years 125 + 41 = 166
Therefore, time for which Shivam invested his sum = (x 166 + 43 = 209
+ 1.5) = 7.5 years 209 + 47 = 256
Quantity III: 256 + 53 = 309
According to the question, 309 + 59 = 368
0.25 × 12 × t × 42000 = 252000 Therefore, z = 209
Or, t = 2 years

III 73 litres
96. Answer: A) We are not given the quantity of type P milk, type Q
milk and water in the mixture C.
From statement I:
Statement I alone is not sufficient.
As PQRS is rhombus.
From II:
Only rhombus which can be circumscribed in circle is a
square. Let amount of type P milk, type Q milk and water in
mixture C is 4z, 3z and 2z respectively.
So PQRS is a square
Let total amount of mixture B = 'B' litres
Side of square = 16/4 = 4 cm
Total amount of mixture A = 'B + 15' litres
Diagonal of square = 4√2 cm
With this information only, we can't calculate the total
Diagonal of square is diameter of the circle. quantities of either mixture.
Perimeter of circle = π x 4√2 cm Statement II alone is not sufficient.
So, data in statement I is sufficient to answer the From I and II:

So, we cannot tell whether PQRS is square or rectangle, mixture C is 4z, 3z and 2z respectively.
so data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer
the question. Total amount of type P milk in all the three mixtures =
(5x + 5y + 4z) = 73 ....... (1)
97. Answer: E)
(5x + 7x + 3x) - (5y + 4y + 6y) = 15
From I:
(x - y) = 1 ...... (2)
mixture A is 5x, 7x and 3x respectively. Here 2 equations and 3 variables. So we can't calculate
the total quantities of either mixture.
mixture B is 5y, 4y and 6y respectively. Statement I and II together are not sufficient.

112. Answer: B) Total quantity of mixture = 120 litres
Sum of students from cities D and E together appeared 75% of mixture = 0.75 × 120 = 90 litres
for the recruitment in 2019 = 675 + 2100 = 2775
Quantity of glycerine in 90 litres of the mixture = 90 ×
Sum of students from cities D and E together appeared 3/5 = 54 litres
for the recruitment in 2018 = 900 + 1500 = 2400
Therefore, I can be the answer.
Required percentage = 2775 * 100/2400 = 115.625%
For II:
113. Answer: A)
Total quantity of mixture = 150 litres
Total students appeared form city C in the recruitment
process in 2018 = 1000 40% of the mixture = 0.40 × 150 = 60 litres
Total students appeared form city C in the recruitment Quantity of glycerine in 40% of mixture = 60 × 3/5 = 36

Required sum = 1000 + 800 = 1800 Therefore, II can be the answer.
For III:
114. Answer: C)
Total boys appeared for recruitment from city B in both Total quantity of mixture = 160 litres
the years together = [1200 * (5/8)] + [960 * (7/16)] = 750 25% of mixture = 0.25 × 160 = 40 litres
+ 420 = 1170
Quantity of glycerine in 25% of mixture = 40 × 3/5 = 24
Total boys appeared for recruitment from city B in both litres
the years together = [1200 * (3/8)] + [960 * (9/16)] = 450
+ 540 = 990 Therefore, III cannot be the answer.
Required difference = 1170 - 990 = 180 117. Answer: A)
115. Answer: E) Let the total work = 96 units (L.C.M of 32 and 24)
Total students appeared for recruitment in 2019 from city Efficiency of Anand = 96/32 = 3 units/day
D = 675
Efficiency of Abhay and Ajay = 96/24 = 4 units/day
Total students that didn't clear recruitment in 2018 from
Let the efficiency of Abhay be ‗y‘ units/day
city D = 20% of 900 = 180
Therefore, efficiency of Ajay = ‗3y‘ units/day
Total new students appeared for the recruitment in 2019
= 675 - 180 = 495 Therefore,
116. Answer: D) 3y + y = 4
For I: Or, y = 1
Page 65 of 77
Therefore, efficiency of Abhay = 1 unit/day Speed of the current = 6 km/hr
Efficiency of Ajay = 3 units/day New speed of the boat in still water = 1.75 × 24 = 42
km/hr
New efficiency of Abhay = 2 × 1 = 2 units/day
Upstream speed of the boat = 42 – 6 = 36 km/hr
Time taken by all of them to complete the work, x =
96/(3 + 2 + 3) = 12 days Therefore, I can be the answer.
Amount of work done in = (x – 4.5) = 7.5 days = 7.5 × 8 For II:

= 60 units
Downstream speed of the boat = 28 km/hr
Percentage of work done = (60/96) × 100 = 62.5%
Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/hr
For I:
Therefore, speed of the current = 0.6x km/hr
(5x + 2.5)% = (5 × 12 + 2.5)% = 62.5%
1.6x = 28
Therefore, I is true.
Or, x = 17.5 km/hr
For II:
Therefore, speed of the boat in still water = 17.5 km/hr
{(13x/3) + 10.5}% = {(13 × 12)/3 + 10.5}% = 62.5%
Speed of the current = 0.6x = 10.5 km/hr
Therefore, II is true
New speed of the boat in still water = 1.25 × 17.5 =
For III: 21.875 km/hr
{(x/3)3 – 1.5}% = {(12/3)3 – 1.5}% = 62.5% Upstream speed of the boat = 21.875 – 10.5 = 11.375
km/hr
Therefore, III is true.
Therefore, II cannot be the answer.
118. Answer: C)
For III:
For I:
Downstream speed of the boat = 420/12 = 35 km/hr
Downstream speed of the boat = 420/14 = 30 km/hr
1.4x = 35
1.25x = 30
Or, x = 25 km/hr
Or, x = 30/1.25 = 24 km/hr
Therefore, speed of the boat in still water = 25 km/hr
Therefore, speed of the boat in still water = 24 km/hr
Speed of the current = 0.4 × 25 = 10 km/hr
Page 66 of 77
New speed of the boat in still water = 1.24 × 25 = 31 Number of Red balls = 2
km/hr
Total number of balls in bag = 3 + 5 + 2 = 10
Therefore, upstream speed of the boat = 31 – 10 = 21
km/hr Hence, option b.
Therefore, III can be the answer. 120. Answer: A)
The probability of choosing a Red ball = 1/5

119. Answer: B)
y
The probability of choosing a Red ball = 1/5 C1/(x + y + 3)C1 = 1/5
y
C1/(x + y + 3)C1 = 1/5 y/(x + y + 3) = 1/5
y/(x + y + 3) = 1/5 5y = x + y + 3 …..(1)
5y = x + y + 3 …..(1) x = 4y – 3 ….(2)
x = 4y – 3 ….(2) The probability of choosing one Yellow ball and one Red

C1 × yC1/(x + y + 3)C2 = 2/9 (x × y)/[(x + y + 3)(x + y + 3 – 1)/2] = 2/9
(x × y)/[(x + y + 3)(x + y + 3 – 1)/2] = 2/9 Put the value of x + y + 3 from equation 1
Put the value of x + y + 3 from equation 1 (x × y)/[5y × (5y – 1)] = 1/9
(x × y)/[5y × (5y – 1)] = 1/9 9x = 25y – 5
9x = 25y – 5 Put the value of x from the equation 2
Put the value of x from the equation 2 9(4y – 3) = 25y – 5
9(4y – 3) = 25y – 5 36y – 27 = 25y – 5
36y – 27 = 25y – 5 11y = 22
11y = 22 y=2

In 2012: 121. Answer: A)

Let total number of casual shoes manufactured by the Desired Ratio = 1980:2520 = 11:14
company is ‗x‘
122. Answer: C)
Number of formal shoes manufactured by the company =
1.32x Desired profit = 0.6 × 2000 × 12 + 0.75 × 2840 × 15 +
0.5 × 2130 × 20
Number of party wear shoes manufactured by the
company = 0.80 × 1.32x = 1.056x = 14400 + 31950 + 21300 = Rs. 67650
Total number of casual and party wear manufactured by 123. Answer: B)

the company = 1542 × 2 = 3084
Desired Percentage = [(2890 – 2000)/2000] × 100 =
So, x + 1.056x = 3084 44.5%
2.056x = 3084 124. Answer: A)
x = 1500 Desired Average = (3400 + 2520)/2 = 2960
Similarly, it can be done for other years also, and then 125. Answer: D)
the following table can be formed.
Desired difference = 6970 – 5544 = 1426
Total Number of shoes manufactured
126. Answer: B)
Year Casual Formal Party Total
Wear Let the principals be Rs 3k and Rs 5k respectively
2012 1500 1.32 × 3084 – 3084 +
So, 3k*2*12/100 + 5k[(1 + 20/100)2 - 1] = 7008
1500 = 1500 = 1980 =
Page 68 of 77
18k/25 + 11k/5 = 7008 Hence, 3200 = (140 + N) X 10
73k/25 = 7008 => 140 + N = 320
k = 2400 => N = 180
First principal = 3*2400 = Rs 7200 Hence the contactor should employ 180 more people.
127. Answer: D) 130. Answer: A)
Let actual price = 100x B + 5 + C + 5 = 23 * 2
Price after first year = 95% of 100x = 95x => B + C = 36 ---(1)
Price after second year = 90% of 95x = 85.5x A+C=B-6
Price after third year = 80% of 85.5x = 68.4x => A - B + C = - 6 ---(2)
According to the question: Adding equation (1) and (2) we get
100x - 85.5x = 5800 A + 2C = 30 ---(3)
x = 400 And, A/C = 4/3
Hence, price at the end of third year = 68.4x = Rs.27360 => A = 4C/3
128. Answer: C) So, (4C/3) + 2C = 30
According to the question Somesh travels 65 km (52 + => C = 9 years

13) more than Gopi in 3.25 hours.
So, B = 36 - 9 = 27 years
Hence relative speed of Somesh with respect to Gopi =
65/3.25 = 20 km/hr And A = 4 * 9/3 = 12 years
Therefore absolute speed of Somesh =(40 + 20) km/hr = Hence, required average = (12 + 3 + 27 + 3 + 9 + 3)/3 =
60 km/hr 19 years
129. Answer: E) 131. Answer: C)
Total work = 100 X 60 = 6000 man-days (MD) Amount = P (1 + R/100)n
Total work completed in 20 days = 140 X 20 = 2800 MD ∴ Amount received = 25000 × (105/100)3 = Rs.
28940.625 ≈ Rs. 28940
Hence the remaining work = (6000 - 2800) MD= 3200
MD 132. Answer: D)
Let's suppose he recruited N more people. Let the principal be Rs. P
Page 69 of 77
Then, Simple Interest = 5P – P = 4P ⇒ 170 + (5 × 6) = 200
SI = (P × R × T) /100 ⇒ 200 + (6 × 7) = 242
⇒ 4P = (P × R × 4) /100 According the pattern of the above series the number

series starting from the given number would be as:
∴ R = 100%
⇒ A = 445 + (2 × 3) = 451
133. Answer: B)
⇒ B = 451 + (3 × 4) = 463
Principal of Sachin = (12000/100) × 130 = Rs. 15600
⇒ C = 463 + (4 × 5) = 483
Amount of Sachin = 15600(1 + 4/100)2 = Rs. 16872.96 ≈
Rs. 16873 ⇒ D = 483 + (5 × 6) = 513
134. Answer: A) ⇒ E = 513 + (6 × 7) = 555
Principal of Rahul = (25000/5) × 6 = Rs. 30000 ∴ The required number in place of A would be 451
Rate of Interest = (120/100) × 5 = 6% 137. Answer: B)

∴ Interest received by Rahul = (30000 × 6 × 5) /100 = The pattern of the original number series is
Rs. 9000
⇒ 22 = 4,
135. Answer: B)
⇒ 32 = 9,
Rate of interest of Peroola = 6 × (3/2) = 9%
⇒ 52 = 25,
Amount = Rs. 35360
⇒ 72 = 49,
Time = 4 years
⇒ 112 = 121,
Let the principal be Rs. P
⇒ 132 = 169,
Then, P + (P/100) × 9 × 4 = P(1 + 36/100) = 35360
Notice 2, 3, 5, 7, 11 & 13 are prime numbers.
P = Rs. 26000
According the pattern of the above series the number
136. Answer: D) series starting from the given number 17 would be as:
The pattern of the original number series is ⇒ 172 = 289,
⇒ 132 + (2 × 3) = 138 ⇒ A = 192 = 361
⇒ 138 + (3 × 4) = 150 ⇒ B = 232 = 529
⇒ 150 + (4 × 5) = 170 ⇒ C = 292 = 841
Page 70 of 77
⇒ D = 312 = 961 377 + (83 + 5) = 894
⇒ E = 372 = 1369 Therefore, the second line series can be obtained on the
basis of the same pattern, as:
Notice 17, 19, 23, 29, 31 & 37 are prime numbers.
A = 25 + (43 + 1) = 90
∴ The required number in place of A would be 361
B = 90 + (52 + 2) = 117
138. Answer: A)
C = 117 + (63 + 3) = 336
The pattern of the original number series is
D = 336 + (72 + 4) = 389

Hence, the value of (3B + 2E) = 3 × 117 + 2 × 906 =

⇒ 21 + 23 = 29 2163
⇒ 28 + 24 = 44 140. Answer: D)
⇒ 35 + 25 = 67 The pattern of the above series is as follows,
According the pattern of the above series the number 1×2–1=1
series starting from the given number would be as:
1×4–1=3
⇒ A = 9 + 21 = 11
3 × 8 – 1 = 23
⇒ B = 18 + 2 = 22
2
23 × 16 – 1 = 367
⇒ C = 27 + 23 = 35
367 × 32 – 1 = 11743
⇒ D = 36 + 2 = 52
4
Therefore, the second line series can be obtained on the

⇒ E = 45 + 25 = 77 basis of the same pattern, as:
∴ The required number in place of A would be 11 A=4×2–1=7
139. Answer: D) B = 7 × 4 – 1 = 27
The pattern of the above series is as follows, C = 27 × 8 – 1 = 215
13 + (43 + 1) = 78 D = 215 × 16 – 1 = 3439
78 + (52 + 2) = 105 E = 3439 × 32 – 1 = 110047
105 + (63 + 3) = 324 Hence, the value of (D – C) = (3439 - 215) = 3224
324 + (72 + 4) = 377 General Awareness
