25 21 18 27 14 2 Let the can initially contain 7x and 5x litres of mixture of A and B respectivley.
After drawing off 9 litres from the mixture,
Quantity of A left in the mixture= {7x -(7/12)*9}litres={7x-(21/4)}litres
Quantity of B left in the mixture={5x-(5/12)*9}litres={5x-(15/4)}litres
Further, after withdrawal the can is filled is filled with liquid B, so the qunatity of B
= {5x-(15/4)}+9; As mentioed the new ratio will be
{7x-(21/4)}/[{5x-(15/4)}+9]=(7/9)

46 What is the length of train ? Statement I Statement I Statement II Neither Either 4 From statement I, Let length of train be x
I. The train crosses a 220 meters long only and II together only Statement I statement I or let speed of train be y
platform in 15 seconds. nor Statement Statement II So, (x + 220)/y = 15
II. The train crosses a person walking in II From II, Let speed of man walking on the platform be z km/hr
opposite direction in 6 seconds. The above x/(y + z) = 6
question can be answered using which of the Hence neither statement I nor II are not sufficient to calculate the answer.
given statement?

47 What is G’s age? Statement I Statement I Statement II Neither Either 2 From information given in statements I and II, we have
I. G, V and K are all of the same age. only and II together only Statement I statement I or G's age = V's age= K's age,
II. Total age of V, K and A is 64 and A is as nor Statement Statement II V's age + K's age + A's age = 64------i
old as V and K together. The above II and A's age = V's age + K's age.-----ii
question can be answered using which of the Putting information ii) into i)
given statement? we get 2A's age = 64 or A's age = 32.
Thus, V's age + K's age = 32 and V's age = K's age
So, V's age= K's age = 16. Thus, G's age = 16.

48 What is the sum of the ages of person 1 and Statement I Statement I Statement II Neither Either 2 From statement I,
2? only and II together only Statement I statement I or P1’s age/P3’s age = 4/5
Statement I: Ratio of the ages of 1 to 3 is 4: 5 nor Statement Statement II P1’s age/P4 ‘s age= 1/3
and the ratio of the ages of 1 to 4 is 1: 3. II So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
Statement II: Sum of the ages of 2,3 and 4 is From Statement II,
125 years and 5 years ago the ratio of the P2’s age + P3’s age + P4’s age = 125
ages of 1 to 4 is 3: 11 The above question (P1’s age – 5)/(P4’s age – 5) = 3/11……….....(iii)
can be answered using which of the given So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
statement?
From statement I and II taken together and let present age of P1 be x and that of
P4 be 3x respectively,
From iii) we get
(x – 5)/(3x – 5) = 3/11
= > 11x – 55 = 9x – 15
= > 2x = 40
= > x = 20 years
Present age of P1 and P4 is 20 and 60 years respectively
P3’s present age = 20/4 * 5 = 25 years
P2’s present age = 125 – (25 + 60) = 125 – 85 = 40 years
Sum of the ages of P1 and P2 = (20 + 40) = 60 years

Hence, statement I and II together is sufficient to answer the given question

49 A bag contains (x + 1) green balls and (x + 4) 18 21 23 24 19 2 Probability of green ball= 3/7

yellow balls. If one ball is drawn at random from (x + 1)/(x + 1 + x + 4 )= 3/7
the bag, the probability of getting a green ball is =>(x + 1)/(2x + 5) = 3/7
3/7. Find the total number of balls in the bag ? =>x = 8
total balls in the bag = (8+1) + (8+4) = 21 balls

50 Aman sold two products A and B having equal 410 405 395 400 390 4 Let CP of the product A = x
cost price. Product A is sold at 30% profit and SP of product A = x * 130/100 = 13x/10
product B is sold at an amount of 15% less than SP of product B = 13x /10 *85/100=13x/10* 17/20 = 221x/200
the selling price of product A. If the total profit is profit of product A = (13x/10) – x = 3x /10
Rs.162, what is cost price (in Rs) of product B ? profit of product B =(221x/200)-x= 21x/200
Now , total profit :( 3x/10) + (21x/200) = 162
(60x + 21x) / 200 = 162
=>x = Rs 400
