Answers with Detailed Solution

1) Answer: B From (i) and (ii)
Let, time taken by pipe A and pipe B to fill the => 2/R + 1/R = 1/10
tank = n minutes => 3/R = 1/10
n x (1/20 + 1/30) = 1 => 1/R = 1/30
=> n x (3 + 2)/60 = 1 From (i)
=> 5n/60 = 1 1/Q = 2/30
=> n = 60/5 => 1/Q = 1/15
=> n = 12 minutes And
Let, the waste pipe can empty the tank in t 1/P = 1/20
minutes. Part of the work completed in 2 days = (1/20 +
According to the question 1/15) + 1/30 = (3 + 4 + 2)/60 = 9/60 = 3/20
12/20 + 12/30 – 12/t + 2.4/20 + 2.4/30 = 1 Part of the work completed in (2 x 6 = 12 days)
=> 14.4/20 + 14.4/30 – 12/t = 1 = 3/20 x 6 = 18/20
=> (43.2 + 28.8)/60 – 12/t = 1 Remaining work = 1 – 18/20 = (20 – 18)/20 =
=> 72/60 – 1 = 12/t 2/20 = 1/10
=> 6/5 – 1 = 12/t Let, time taken by P and Q to complete
=> (6 – 5)/5 = 12/t remaining part of the work = n days
=> 1/5 = 12/t n x (1/20 + 1/15) = 1/10
=> t = 60 minutes => n x (3 + 4)/60 = 1/10
2) Answer: D => n = 60/7 x 1/10
LCM of 20, 15 and 30 = 60 => n = 6/7 days
Total work = 60 units Required number of days = 12 + 6/7 = 12 6/7
P = 60/20 = 3 units per day days
Q = 60/15 = 4 units per day 3) Answer: C
R = 60/30 = 2 units per day Without hole, drum will be filled in 4 hours
Work completed in 2 days = 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 units The hole is present at one quarter distance from
Part of the work completed in (2 x 6 = 12 days) the bottom. So first one hour, the hole will not
= 9 * 6 = 54 units leak.
Remaining = 60 – 54 = 6 units So extra 20 minutes of tap fillings are to be
Remaining work completed by P and Q = 6/7 leaked by the hole in 3 hrs 20 minutes
Total number of days = 12 + 6/7 = 12 6/7 days (20/60) * Speed of tap = (200/60) * Speed of
(Or) hole
1/Q = 2/R --------- (i) Speed of hole = Speed of tap/10 = 100/10 = 10
1/Q + 1/R = 1/10 ------------ (ii) buckets per hour

4) Answer: C => y = 15/3

Let us consider quantity of work done by one => y = 5
man in one day is 1 Speed of the boat in still water = 3y = 3 x 5 =
Efficiency of man = (125/100) * Efficiency of 15 Km/hr
woman 7) Answer: B
Quantity of work done by one woman in one day Let us take the speed of boat and speed of
= (100/125) * 1 = 4/5 stream be x and y respectively,
Total quantity of work = 15 * 16 = 240 x + y = 25
One woman started doing the work. Daily one x-y=5
woman added to the work Say, distance between A and B is ‘D’ and so
So, 4/5 + (2 * 4/5) + (3 * 4/5) + ..........+ (n * distance between B and C is D/2
4/5) = 240 A goes to B downstream and comeback from B to
(4/5)[1 + 2 + 3 +........+ n] = 240 C upstream
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n = 300 D/25 + (D/2)/5 = 14
n(n + 1)/2 = 300 D/25 + D/10 = 14
n = 24 days D = 100 km
So, on the last day of work, 24 women will be in 8) Answer: C
work Speed of the stream = 4 km/hr
5) Answer: B Distance = 80km
LCM of 16 and 48 = 48 Let A and B be the speed of boat A and B in still
Total capacity = 48 units water respectively.
First pipe = 3 units per hour Boat A
Second pipe = 1 unit per hour 3/5 of distance upstream = (3/5) * 80 = 48km
Time taken to fill both the pipes together = 48/4 Distance downstream = 32km
= 12 hours Total time = 4 hours 20 minutes = 260 minutes
2/3rd of the tank will fill = 12 * 2/3 = 8 hours Time = distance/speed
Remaining 1/3rd will fill = 12 – 8 = 4 hours 48/Upstream + 32/downstream = 260/60
But after leakage half of the water leaks out so, 48/(A - 4) + 32/(A + 4) = 260/60
remaining 1/3 of the tank will be fill by both 16[3/(A - 4) + 2/(A + 4)] = 260/60
pipes = (2 * 4) = 8 h (3A + 12 + 2A - 8)/(A2 – 16) = 13/48
Total time = 8 + 8 = 16 h 48 * (5A + 4) = 13(A2 – 16)
6) Answer: C 240A + 192 = 13A2 – 208
Let, speed of the stream = y Km/hr 13A2 – 240A – 400 = 0
Speed of the boat in still water = 3y Km/hr 13A2 – 260A + 20A – 400 = 0
According to the question 13A(A - 20) + 20(A - 20) = 0
[60/(3y + y) + 60/{(3y - y)/2}] – 120/(3y + y) (13A + 20) * (A – 20) = 0
=3 A = 20km/hr
=> 60/4y + 60/2y – 120/4y = 3 B = (80/100) * 20 = 16km/hr
=> 15/y + 30/y – 30/y = 3 Time for B = 48/(16 + 4) + 32/(16 – 4) =
=> 15/y = 3 (48/20) + (32/12)

= 304 minutes = 5 hrs 4 minutes 10 * Sa/15 = 42

9) Answer: E Sa = 63km/hr; Sb = 78 km/hr;
Ship in off condition, ship moves due to stream, Time to cross a pole by train B = Lb/Sb = 9s
Speed of stream = 400/360 = 100/90 m/s = 4 Lb = 9 * Sb = 9 * 78 * (5/18) = 195 m
km/hr 12) Answer: D
Distance between A and B = 1.44km Train A:
Total time = 9 minutes 500/125 = 4 hrs
Downstream + Upstream = 9/60 = 3/20 hr 500/100 = 5 so, 4 stops
(1.44/(S + 4)) + (1.44/(S - 4)) = 3/20 Stopping time = 4 * 2 = 8 min
By solving, 10S2 - 192S - 160 = 0; Total time for A = 4 hrs 8 min
10S2 + 8S - 200S - 160 = 0; Train B in 4 hrs 8 min:
S(10S + 8) - 20(10S + 8) = 0; 4 hrs * 50 = 200 km
(S - 20)(10S + 8) = 0; Stops = 200/25 = 8
S = 20km/hr Stopping time = 8 * 1 = 8 min
10) Answer: B So, train B travelled 200 km in 4 hr 8 min
Car Y reached in Trichy = t 13) Answer: B
Car X reached in Trichy = t + 3 Ratio of distance = 2: 9
Speed ratio of X and Y = t: (t + 3) Cycle
Distance = t * (t + 3) Distance = 2x
t * (t + 3)/(t + t + 3) = 2 Time = 2hrs 30 minutes = 5/2 hrs
t2 + 3t = 4t + 6 Car
t2 – t – 6 = 0 Distance = 9x
t2 – 3t + 2t – 6 = 0 Speed = 75 km/hr
t(t – 3) + 2(t – 3) = 0 Time = 9x/75
(t + 2)(t -3) = 0 Total distance = 11x
t = -2, 3(negative value neglect) Total time = (5/2) + (9x/75)
t=3 Average speed = Total Distance/Total time = 50
Car Y reached Trichy at after three hours, in time 11x/[(5/2) + (9x/75)] = 50
= 11 am + 3 11x = 50[(5/2) + (9x/75)]
= 2 p.m 11x = 125 + 6x
11) Answer: D 5x = 125
Let Sa and Sb be the speeds of Train A and Train x = 25
B respectively. Speed of cycle = (2 * 25)/(5/2) = 20 km/hr
Distance covered by Train A in 10 minutes = 14) Answer: D
(10/60) * Sa Ratio of speed = 12: 9: 10
This is the distance between the trains after 10 Let the speeds be 12x, 9x and 10x
minutes Distance covered by car = (12x * 2) + (9x * 4)
Sb - Sa = 15km/hr + (10x * 3)
Time to overtake = 42 minutes = 24x + 36x + 30x = 90x
{(10/60) * Sa/(Sb - Sa)} = 42/60 Total time = 2 + 4 + 3 = 9hrs

Distance between the tolls = 9x * 4 = 36x = 180 equal to y.
km By data, Loss percent of A = Gain percent of B
15) Answer: E (CPa - SPa)/CPa = (SPb – CPb)/CPb
Let A, B and L be the speeds of train A, train B (2x – y)/2x = (y – x)/x
and length of train B respectively. 2x – y = 2y – 2x
In stationary condition, 3y = 4x
B = L/20; L = 20B y/x = 4/3;
Running in opposite direction Loss percent of A = (CPa - SPa)/CPa * 100
A + B = L/(20 - 6); = (2x - y)/2x * 100
L = 14A + 14B = (1 - (y/2x)) * 100
20B = 14A + 14B = (1 – (4x/3)/2x) * 100
6B = 14A = (1 – 2/3) * 100 = 33.33%
A/B = 3/7; A = 3x; B = 7x Or
Running in same direction, Let the cost price of Article A is 200x,

Total number of boys participating in running a)/100]
race is 5. 200 – 2a = 100 + a
No. of races played between girls = yC2 = 45 = 3a = 100
y(y – 1) = 90 => y = 10 a = 100/3 = 33.33
Total number of girls participating in running race Required % = 33.33%
is 10.
Therefore, no of running races in which one 19) Answer: B

= 5C1× 10C1= 5 * 10 = 50 So Marked price of article A = 1.5x = Cost price
17) Answer: D of B
SP – CP = 1200 Let selling price of A be y
MP – SP = 2000 So, Selling price of B = 2y
CP + 1200 = MP – 2000 Total profit percent = 50%
MP – CP = 3200 (SPa + SPb)/(CPa + CPb) = 150/100
We can’t find the CP, so we can’t find the value (y + 2y)/(x + 1.5x) = 3/2

y= 1.25x Amount = P + (P * 50 * 3/2 * 100) = P(1 +

So, Selling price of A = 1.25x 0.75) = 1.75P = 175% of P
Discount offered = (MP – SP)/MP *100 = Scheme 2: CI at 50% per annum for one and
0.25/1.5 *100 = 16.67% half years compounded half yearly.
20) Answer: C R = 25% ; n = 3 (Since compounded half yearly)
Let x and y be the cost price of article A and B Amount = P[1 + (r/100)]n = P[1 + (25/100)]3 =
respectively. 1.95P = 195% of P
x + y = 3500 So scheme 2 is better and we are getting 20
x = 3500 – y percent more
By data, Selling price of A = x + 500 23) Answer: C
Selling price of B = (110/100) * y = 1.1y For Scheme B,
Total selling price = x + 500 + 1.1y = 3500 – y Rate = 12%
+ 500 + 1.1y = 4000 + 0.1y T = 2 years
Total profit = profit of A + profit of B = 500 + C.I = Rs 5724
0.1y Net effective rate after 2 years = x + y + (x ×
Profit percent with respect to SP = 16.67% y)/100
Profit/Selling price = 16.67/100 = > 12 + 12 + (144/100) = 25.44%
(500 + 0.1y)/(4000 + 0.1y) = 1/6 Therefore,
3000 + 0.6y = 4000 + 0.1y 25.44 5724
0.5y = 1000 100% x
y = 2000 x = (5724 * 100)/25.44 = Rs.22500
x = 3500 - 2500 = 1500 According to question,
Profit percent = (500/1500)*100 = 33.33% For, Scheme A
21) Answer: A Amount = Rs 22500

= 25 * 36 – x * 36/100 = 900 – 0.36x 28) Answer: B
Total interest = 871 A: B: C = 1/3: 1/2: 2/5 = 10: 15: 12 [Taking
0.331x + 900 – 0.36x = 871 LCM]
900 – 0.029x = 871 A’s share = (10x * 3) + (20x * 9) = 210x
0.029x = 29 B’s share = (15x * 12) = 180x
x = 1000 C’s share = (12x * 4) + (6x * 8) = 96x
Amount in SI = 2500 - 1000 = 1500 Ratio of share = 210: 180: 96 = 35: 30: 16
Amount in CI = 1000 C’s share = 16/81 * 40500 = 8000
Ratio = 1500: 1000 = 3: 2 29) Answer: C
26) Answer: A Let A be the amount invested by A.
Profit ratio of A, B and C = 9: 6: 8 B = A + 300
Let the total profit = x C = (3/2) * A = 1.5A
B’s management amount = x * 30/100 = 3x/10 Profit share of A = (A * 3.5) = 3.5A
Remaining profit = 7x/10 Profit share of B = 10 * (A + 300) = 10A + 3000
Total profit received by A = 7x/10 * 9/23 = Profit share of C = 6 * 1.5A = 9A
63x/230 C’s share = (36/100) * Total
Profit received by B = 6/23 * 7x/10 = 42x/230 9A = (36/100) * (3.5A + 10A + 3000 + 9A)
Total profit received by B = 3x/10 + 42x/230 = A = (1/25) * (22.5A + 3000)
111x/230 25A = 22.5A + 3000
Difference = 111x/230 – 63x/230 = 48x/230 2.5A = 3000

From this, 20 litres taken out in which 15litres is Quantity of water = 20 – [(20/x + 20) * 20] +
pure milk and 5 litres is water. 20 = 40(x + 10)/(x + 20)
Milk = (3x/4) - 15; Water = x - 5 Total quantity in jar = x + 20
Now 15 litres of water is added. Step 2: 20 litre of pure milk is added. So Total
Milk = 3x/4; Total = x - 5 quantity in jar is (x + 40) litres in which
Percentage of milk = 80% Milk = (x2/x + 20) + 20 = (x2 + 20x + 400)/(x +
(3x/4)/(x - 5) = 80/100 20)
x = 80 litres Water = 40 (x + 10)/(x + 20)
31) Answer: B Ratio = 7: 3
1st alloy: (xz + 20x + 400)/40 * (x + 10) = 7/3
G: P = 3: 1 Solving, x = 80 litres
2nd alloy: Full capacity of the jar = 120 litres
G: P = 1: 2 33) Answer: D
Mix: Let the initial quantity of mixture be x.
G: P = 2: 1 25% quantity of water is added = x + x/4 = 5x/4
Now, Total = 5x/4; Milk = x; Water = x/4
Two-fifth of this mixture given to vendor
Quantity vendor has = (2/5) * (5x/4) = x/2
Milk = 2x/5; Water = (2/5) * (x/4) = x/10
Again 20% of water added, (20/100) * (x/2) =
x/10
It gives 4: 1 Milk = 2x/5; Water = (x/10) + (x/10) = x/5
So, ¼ times the second alloy to be mixed with Total = (x/2) + (x/10) = 3x/5
first alloy Given X is the rate of milk per litre
32) Answer: D Total = (3x/5) * X
Jar initially contains x litres of pure milk Actual = (x/2) * X
Process - 1: Profit percent = X (3x/5 – x/2)/(X * x/2) *100 =
Step 1: 20 litres taken out and replaced with (x/10)/(x/2) * 100 = 20%
water 34) Answer: E
Jar contains x litres in which (x - 20) is milk and Arul: Arun = 5: 6; Arun: Hari = 5: 6
20 is water Combining two ratios, Arul: Arun: Hari = 25: 30:
Step 2: 20 litres of pure milk is added. So jar 36
contains (x + 20) litres in which x litres are milk Difference between the ages of Arul and Hari =
and 20 litres are water 11x = 22
Process - 2: x = 2; Arun’s age five years ago = 30 * 2 = 60
Step 1: 20 litres taken out in which milk and Arun’s age five years hence = 60 + 10 = 70
water will be in ratio x: 20 and replaced with years
water 35) Answer: A
Now quantity of pure milk in jar = x – (x/x + 20) 10 years ago, sum of ages of 4,

Surface area of the cylinder = 2 * ∏ * r * (h + r) P(Only one caught) = P(1st caught and 2nd not
2 * ∏ * r * (h + r) - 4 * ∏ * r * r = 770 caught) + P(2nd caught and 1st not caught)
2 * 22/7 * 2x * (6x) – 4 * 22/7 * x * x = 770 (1/4 * 5/6) + (3/4 * 1/6) = 1/3
6x2 – x2 = 61.25 45) Answer: C
x = 3.5 cm Number of non repeating letters = 5
Radius of the cylinder = cone = 2 * 3.5 = 7 cm Total number of words which can be formed = 5!
Height of the cone = 24 cm = 120
Slanting height of the cone = √(h2 + r2) Number of consonants = 3
= √(242 + 72) = 25 cm Number of words in which the consonants will be
42) Answer: D together = 3! * 3! = 36
(l + 1)(b + 1) = lb + 33 Probability of word with consonants not together
lb + b + l + 1 = lb + 33 = (120 - 36)/120 = 7/10
l + b = 32 - - - - - - 1 46) Answer: C
(l + 1)(b - 1) = lb - 5 According to question, Group can be formed is as
lb + b - l - 1 = lb - 5 follow,
l-b=4- - - - -2 Required number of ways
From 1 and 2, = (3 men + 3 women) or (4 men + 2 women) or
l = 18, b = 14 (5 men + 1 woman)
43) Answer: C = (9C3 × 6C3) + (9C4 × 6C2) + (9C5 × 6C1)
Ratio of salary = 2: 3; Ram = 2x; Kalai = 3x = 1680 + 1890 + 756 = 4326
Ratio of expenditure = 3: 4; Ram = 3y; Kalai = Hence, required ways = 4326
4y 47) Answer: B
Savings Ram = 2x - 3y; Kalai = 3x – 4y Let units digit be ‘U’
By data, Let Tens digit be ‘T’
Difference between the savings = 5000 Let hundreds digit be ‘H’
(3x - 4y) – (2x - 3y) = 5000 Given H = ½ U and H + T + U = 14

 Expected Application Sums for IBPS Clerk/ LIC Assistant Mains Exam

Now, original number formed = 100H + 10T + U New number thus formed = 100x + 20x + 4x =
Reversed number formed = 100U + 10T + H 124x
According to question, From the given data => 142x – 124x = 36
(100U + 10T + H) - (100H + 10T + U) = 396 => x = 2
99U - 99H = 396 Original number = 142 * 2 = 284
(U – H) = 4 = > (U – ½ * U) = 4 Hence, 25% of the original no = 25% of 284 =
½*U=4=>U=8 71
Therefore, Unit = 8, Hundreds = 4, Tens = 2 50) Answer: E
Therefore, required number = 428. Let G, R and B be the number of green, red and
48) Answer: B black balls respectively.
Probability of getting one green ball in bucket A G + R + B = 15
= x/(2x + 5) = 1/3 P (two balls are green) = 2/21
x=5 G*(G-1)/(15*14) = 2/21
Required no of ball in bucket B = 3 + 6 = 9 G2 – G = 20
49) Answer: B G2 – G – 20 = 0
Let the digit at hundred's place be x. Then unit's G2 – 5G + 4G – 20 = 0
digit = 2x and ten's digit = 4x G(G - 5) + 4(G - 5) = 0
So, number = 100x + 40x + 2x = 142x (G + 4) * (G - 5) = 0
If the ten’s digit and the unit’s digit is G = 5, -4 (-ve value will be neglected)
interchanged, then hundred's digit = x G=5
Ten's digit = 2x and unit's digit = 4x R + B = 10
P (Either red or black) = 10/15 = 2/3
