Explanations:
1. Let the amount deposited in each bank A and bank B be Rs. ‘x’

Statement I :

Interest obtained by scheme B = Rs. 720

So, interest obtained by scheme A = 720 – 144 = Rs. 576

So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II :

Let the rate of simple interest offered by bank A and bank B be 4y% and 5y%, respectively

So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

On combining both the statements, we get,

Let the amount deposited in each bank A and bank B be Rs. ‘x’

Interest obtained by scheme B = Rs. 720

So, interest obtained by scheme A = 720 – 144 = Rs. 576

Let the rate of simple interest offered by bank A and bank B be 4y% and 5y%, respectively

Thus, the data even in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, option E is correct.

2. Statement I :

Let, selling price of the article = Rs. x

Discount = 50%

x
Marked price of the article = = Rs.2x
0.5

2
Cost price of the article = of 2x = Rs.0.8x
5

Profit earned = x – 0.8x = Rs. 0.2x

 0.2x
Profit percentage = × 100 = 25%
0.8x

So, statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II :

Let, selling price of the article = Rs. x

1
Profit earned = of x = Rs.0.2x
5

Cost price of the article = x – 0.2x = Rs.0.8x

0.2x
Profit percentage = × 100 = 25%
0.8x

So, statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Thus, the data either in Statement I or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, option C is correct.

3. Statement I :
Ratio of profit share of Shobhit to total profit = 2000 : 6000 = 1 : 3

So, ratio of initial investment of Shobhit to sum of initial investment of all three will be 1 : 3,
respectively.

1
Therefore, initial investment of Shobhit = × 3000 = Rs.1000
3

So, statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II :
Let, initial investment of Rohit and Shobhit be Rs. 4x and Rs. 5x respectively.

So, initial investment of Mohit = Rs. 5x + 200

So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Thus, the data in Statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement II
alone are not sufficient to answer the question

Hence, option A is correct.

4. Statement I :

Time taken by pipes A and B together to fill the tank = 24 minutes

So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II:

960
Time taken by pipe B to fill the tank = = 40 min
24

So, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

On combining both the statements, we get,

1 1 1
+ =
A B 24

1 1 1
+ =
A 40 24

1 1 1
= –
A 24 40

1 5–3
=
A 120

1 2
=
A 120

A = 60 minutes

40
So, time taken by pipe C to fill the tank = = 80 minutes
0.5

60 × 80
Therefore, reqd. time = = 240 minutes
80 – 60

Thus, the data in both Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.

Hence, option D is correct.

5. Let the quantity of milk and water in the vessel be 5x litres and 4x litres, respectively.

So, capacity of vessel = 5x + 4x = 9x litres

Statement I :

15% of the mixture = 0.15 × 9x = 1.35x litres

5
So, quantity of milk taken out = × 1.35x = 0.75x litres
9

4
So, quantity of water taken out = × 1.35x = 0.6x litres
9

According to the question,

5x – 0.75x 17
=
4x – 0.6x + 1.35x 19

So, statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement II :

5x 4
=
4x + 90 5

25x = 16x + 360

9x = 360; x = 40

So, capacity of vessel = 9 × 40 = 360 litres

So, statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Thus, the data in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in Statement I
alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

Hence, option B is correct.

6. Let amount invested in S2 = Rs. X
15
Distance to be carry the goods as three workers = = 5 km
3

Since, to carry goods 5 km as per Harbhajan’s wages, he will get Rs.9 for 4 km and for the next 1 km
13.50 – 9.00
he will have to get Rs. × 1 = Rs. 1.50
7–4

Wages as per Harbhajan’s wages = Rs. (9.00 + 1.50) = Rs.10.50

24.25 – 14.50
Wages as per Ravindra’s wages = Rs. 14.50 +
7–4
= Rs.(14.50 + 3.25) = Rs.17.75

31.00 – 19.00
Wages as per Dravid’s wages = RS. 19.00 +
7–4
= Rs.(19.00 + 4.00) = Rs.23.00

Total Wages of Ram ji = Rs.(10.50 + 17.75 + 23.00) = Rs.51.25

Hence, option (D) is correct.

7.
13.50 – 9.00
Wages for 6 km = Rs.9 + × 2 = Rs.(9.00 + 1.50 × 2) = Rs.12.00
7–4

11. Let the price of the egg pack be Rs. E

Then, number of packs bought = (E + 1).

Hence the total cost is E (E + 1).

It is given that 380 < E (E + 1).

If E = 19, the total cost = 19(20) = Rs.380

Shawag would not have fallen short. If E = 20,

E(E + 1) = 20(21) = 420, and he would have fallen short by Rs40

This is the minimum amount by which he may have fallen short

Hence, option C is correct.

12. As the cost price of one litre of Petrol = Rs100, cost price of 6 litres = Rs600.

∴ Selling price of 8 litres = Rs.800

Let the cost of one litre of Kerosene be Rs.x

cost price (100 + profit percentage)

Selling price =
100

800
800 = (600 + 2x) ⇒ x = 50
7(100)

As the cost price of one litre of Diesel = Rs.200, cost price of 6 litres = Rs1200.

∴ Selling price of 8 litres = Rs.1600

Let the cost of one litre of Kerosene be Rs.y.

cost price (100 + profit percentage)

Selling price =
100

(1200 + 2y)(120)
1600 =
100

y = 66.66

Required difference = 66.66 – 50 = 16.66 ~ 17

Hence option C is correct.

13. Since the gents should not be outnumbered,

19. Let’s assume that the ages of P, Q and R are p, q and r years respectively.

We know that,
Sum of all quantities
Average =
Number of quantities

Sum of age of people

Average of age of people =
Number of people

∵ Average of P and Q is 20 years,

⇒ p + q = 20 × 2 = 40 ….(i)

∵ Average of R and Q is 21 years,

⇒ q + r = 21 × 2 = 42
⇒ q = (42 – r) ….(ii)

∵ Average of P and R is 22 years,

⇒ p + r = 22 × 2 = 44
⇒ p = (44 – r) ….(iii)

Now, substituting the values of p and q from Equations (ii) and (iii) in Equation (i),
∴ (44 – r) + (42 – r) = 40
⇒ 86 – 2r = 40
⇒ 2r = 46 ⇒ r = 23
∴ p = 44 – r
⇒ p = 44 – 23 = 21
Also, q = 42 – r
⇒ q = 42 – 23 = 19
Hence, option B is correct.
20. Distribution by Nita, All the amounts are in rupees. If the first beggar get x,
Then the second beggar gets x + 1
Third beggar gets = 2x + 1 + 2 = 2x + 3
Fourth beggar gets = 4x + 4 + 3.
Fifth beggar gets = 8x + 11 + 4 = 8x + 15

Given 8x + 15 = 93
78
⇒x=
8

78
∴ Total distributed amount = 16x + 26= 16 (
8)
+ 26 = 182

Distribution by Nita’s husband, all the amounts are in rupees. If the first beggar get x,

Then the second beggar gets x + 1

Third beggar gets = x + 1 + 2 = x + 3
Fourth beggar gets = x + 3 + 3 = x + 6
Fifth beggar gets = x + 6 + 4 = x + 10

Given x + 10 = 100 ⇒ x = 90

∴ Total distributed amount = (x) + (x + 1) + (x + 1 + 2)(x + 1 + 2 + 3)(x + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4)

= (5x + 20) = (450 + 20) = 470

Hence total amount distributed = (182 + 470) = Rs. 652

Hence option A is correct.

21. Let the total initial cost of the shoe be 100.

∴ Manufacturing cost = 60

∴ Raw materials cost = 40

Also original selling price = 100 + 20 = 120

New raw materials cost = 40 + 20% of 40 = 48

New manufacturing cost = 60 + 30% of 60 = 78

∴ New cost of the product = 126

New selling price = 120 + 70% of 120 = 204

78
∴ New profit percentage = (100)% = 62%
126
Hence option A is correct.

End of 3 round 29p 42p 91p

Hence the required ratio is (29p + 42p) : 91p = 71p : 91p = 71 : 91

Hence, option (A) is correct.

39. Let the number of Aircraft, BMW and Audi bought by Mahendra Rajapaksa be x, y and z respectively

According to question:

x + y + z = 15 …..(i)

8x + 3y + 4z = 68 ….. (ii)

From (ii) – (i) ×4, we get

4x – y = 8 ……. (iii)

From (iii),

When y = 0 then x = 2

So, z = (15 – 2 – 0) = 13 (from (i))

The other solutions are obtained by adding 1 repeatedly to x

 When x = 3, y = 4 (from (iii))

So, z = (15 – 3 – 4) = 8

When x = 4, y = 8 (from (iii))

So, z = (15 – 4 – 8) = 3

When x = 5, y = 12

So, z = (15 – 5 – 12) = – 2 (which is not possible)

Now, calculated results are given in following table

X 2 3 4
Y 0 4 8
Z 13 8 3

Since he bought at least one of each thing and more BMW than Audi,

So, third column of above table is fulfilling the required condition.

Thus, he bought 4 Aircrafts, 8 BMWs and 3 Audis.

Hence number of Aircraft = 4

Therefore, option (B) is correct.

40. The required probability will be given by

First is a woman and Second is a man OR

First is a man. And Second is a woman OR

First is a woman and Second is a woman

5 8 8 5 5 4
I.e. × + × + ×
13 12 13 12 13 12

100 25
= =
156 39

Alternatively, we can define the non-event as : There are two men and no women. Then, probability of
the non-event is

8 7 56
× =
13 12 156

(156 – 56) 100 25

Hence, P(E) = = =
156 156 39
Hence, option B is correct.
