Q.93) Option (A).
General form of N = (LCM 15, 20, 24) × n + 7 = 120n + 7
Largest 5 digit number 99999 when divided by 120 leaves remainder 39.
So 99999 – 39 = 99960 is of the form of 120n.
So our required N = 99960 + 7 = 99967
00
Required sum of the digits of N = 9 + 9 + 9 + 6 + 7 = 40

n = HCF [(3337 – 2392), (4012 – 2392), (4012 – 3337)]

= HCF [945, 1620, 675] = 135
When 2392 is divided by 135, remainder is 97.
So m = 97
n – m = 135 – 97 = 38
Q.96) Option (C).

Each angle of octagon = 180 – 360/8 = 130o
In triangle APB, angle A = 135/2 = 67.5o
And angle B = 135/2 = 67.5o
So angle APB = 180 – (67.5+67.5) = 180 – 135 = 45o
Q.97) Option (A).

Let original salary = Rs 100
Original savings = Rs 30Original Expenditure = Rs 70
New savings = 30 + 130/3% of 30new expenditure = 70 + 10% of 70 = 77

So its percentage = 46/60 × 100 = 76.66 %
Q.103) Option (A).

Applying M1D1 = M2D2
(15M + 18W) × 10 = (70M + 105W) × 2
1M = 3W
Let x women are required with 25 men to do the same job in 5 days.
So (25M + xW) × 5 = (15M + 18W) × 10
Put 1M = 3W
(75 + x) = (90 + 36)
x = 51
Q.104) Option (C).

X  kY2
If Y increases by 20%, Y2 must increase by 44%. (20 + 20 + 20 × 20/100)
Let percentage change in X = a%
a + 44 + 44a/100 = 0
a = –30.5%
CP/20/C14
Q.105) Option (D).

Let capacity of tank be 120L.
One hr work of A = 120/10 = 12L
One hr work of B = 120/20 = 6L
One hr work of C = –120/30 = –4L
One hr work of D = –120/40 = –3L
Till 8 am, amount of water in tank = (12 × 3 + 6 × 2 – 4 × 1) = 44L
1
Remaining capacity = 120 – 44 = 76L
After 8 am, net water pouring in tank = 12 + 6 – 4 – 3 = 11L
08
More time required = 76/11 = 6 10/11 = 6 hr 54 min.
So tank will be filled in 2:54 pm.

Also 252  x 2   36  a 
2
625 = x 2   36  a  ………(2)
2
Solving (1) and (2)

216 = a2   36  a 
2
a = 21
CP/20/C14
So x = 292  212 = 20
Therefore area of trapezium = 1/2 × (40 + 76) × 20 = 1160
Alternately:
Area of trapezium = 1/2 × h × (40 + 76)
= 1/2 × h × 116 = 58h.
58 is the multiple of 29.
So there is a high probability that 58h is also multiple of 29 (unless h = k/29).
1
Among the options only 1160 is multiple of 29.
Q.108) Option (B).
08
Use remainder theorem.
put k = l
l  l 2  m2   m  ml  l 2   l 2ml  l 2  ml 
 l 3  ml 2  m2l  ml 2  2ml 2  l 3  ml 2 = 0
So (k–l) should be factor of given expression.
Now lets put l = m
k  km  m2   m  m2  k2   m 2mk  mk  m2 
 k2m  km2  m3  mk2  2m2k  m2k  m3 = 0
00
16
Hence (l – m) is also factor of given expression.
It makes option B as correct choice.
Q.109) Option (C).

1
Total number of cases of sum 15

(6, 4, 5) ………. 3! = 6
18
(6, 6, 3) –––––––– 3!/2! = 3

(5, 5, 5) ………… = 1
Total = 10
So required probability = 10/6 × 6 × 6 = 5/108
Q.110) Option (B).
All shaded faces are in pairs, so there sum should be 7 only.

Hence from the figure, maximum sum can be
7 × 10 + (6 + 5 + 6 + 5) × 2 + 6 = 70 + 44 + 6 = 120
