Answers
1) Answer: B Solution:
Solution: Ratio of income of Arun and Varun 4 : 5
If (a + b)/c = 5/3 ………………(1) Ratio of expenditure of Arun and Varun 5 : 6
(b + c)/a = 7/4 …………………(2) Saving of Arun and Varun 6000 : 4000
If we sum a + b + c in both the equations then eq (1) will (5 * 5 ) – ( 4 * 6 ) units = ( 6 * 6000 ) – (5 * 4000 )
give 8 units and eq (2) will give 11 units.
1 units = 16000 rupees
Let’s take LCM of both which will be equals to 88 units.
Total income of Arun and Varun is 9 units
In eq (1) to obtain 88 we have to multiply by 11 in
numerator and denominator while in eq (2) we have to 9 units = 16000 * 9 = 144000
multiply by 8.After following this procedure we can Alternative method
write the above equation as;
4x-6000/5x-4000=5/6
(a + b)/c = 55/33 ………………(3)
X=1600
(b + c)/a = 56/32 …………………(4)
Total income of Arun and Varun is 9x=9*16000=144000
So from eq (3) and eq (4) we can say that a = 32 and c =
33 then b = 23 3) Answer: B
We have to find (a + c)/b = 65/23 Solution:
2) Answer: A Total students were 1600
Page 8 of 22
Ratio of boys to girls is 3 : 5 which means girls were 600 R : (A1 + A2 ) = 1 : 7

and that of boys were 1000
R : (45 + 60 ) = 1 : 7 …………(1)
Now if ‘X’ boys left and ‘X’ girls were admitted then
according to the question it can be reduced as equation From eq (1) we can calculate R and we get R = 15 units
and can be written as; Area of circle = πr2
(1000 – x ) / ( 600 + x ) = 7 / 8 ……………..(1) Area of circle = 22 × 15 × 15 / 7
It is also stated that finally girls in the school is 300 more Area of circle = 707 units2
than the boys.
5) Answer: A
So from eq(1) we can say that if 7 units is the boys and 8
units is representing girls and difference being 1 unit Solution:
which is equal to 300.
Cube: All the sides are equal which means a = b = c
So 1 unit = 300
If we change its sides with +10%, +15% and -10%
8 units = girls = 2400 respectively.
7 units = boys = 2100 10% = 1/10 and 15% = 3/20
On solving eq (1) we get x = 253 (approx) As we can see the denominator of fraction values are
different so we need to modulate them.
If ‘X’ is the number of girls admitted in the new session
and in the old session girls were 600 so total girls in the Multiplying 1/10 by 2 it will becomes 2/20 now all
new session = 853 (approx) fraction values will have same denominators. So from
here we can say that side of cube is 20 units.
4) Answer: A
Volume of cube = (side)3
Solution:
Volume of cube = (20)3 = 8000 unit3
Ratio of angles of a triangle is 3 : 4 : 5
Cuboid:
We know that the sum of angles of triangle is 180’.So we
can write from above as, All three sides are different. So If we change its sides
with +10%, +15% and -10% increment and decrement
3x + 4x + 5x = 180 respectively then new shape will becomes cuboid with its
12x = 180 sides as,
X = 15 a = 22, b = 23 and c = 18 units
So the angles will be 45, 60 and 75 respectively. Volume of cuboid = length × breadth × height = abc
Now, the ratio of radius of circle to the sum of two Volume of cuboid = 22 × 18 × 23 = 9108 Units3
smaller angle is 1 : 7 i.e
Page 9 of 22
So the difference between their volume = 9108 – 8000 = Sum of their present ages will be 93 years
1108 cu. Units
Since eq (3) is also the ratio of their present age so from
Percentage change = (1108) *100 / 8000 this equation we can write as,
Percentage change = +13.85 % 15x + 10x + 6x = 93 years
6) Answer: C 31x = 31 * 3 years
Solution: x = 3 years
In this question we can directly solve by framing So the present age of Ram, Shyam and Kumar is 45 , 30
equation. The equation can be written as, and 18 years respectively.
If 19x is the selected candidate and 17x being rejected So the age of Ram four years back = 41 years
candidate then total applied candidate will be 36x.
8) Answer: C
So equation can be written as,
Solution:
(36x – 1200)/(19x – 800) = 1/1 …………(1)
Ratio of present age of Ravi and Sohan is 3 : 5
On solving above equation we get,
Ravi0 : Sohan0 = 3 : 5 ……………..(1)
x = 400/17 units
After ten years ratio of ages of Ravi, Sohan and Sujeet
Applied candidates were 36x = 36 * 400 / 17 becomes 7 : 8 : 5
Applied candidates = 847 (approx) Ravi+10 : Sohan+10 : Sujeet+10 = 7 : 8 : 5

………….(2)
7) Answer: A
Average of their present age is 30 years so the sum will
Solution: The ratio of present age of Ram to the age of be 90 years and after 10 years sum will be 90 + 30 = 120
Shyam is 3 : 2 years…………..(3)
R : S = 3 : 2 ……………….(1) So from eq (2) and eq (3) we can write as,
The ratio of present age of Shyam to the age of Kumar is 7x + 8x + 5x = 120 years
5:3
20x = 120 years
S : K = 5 : 3 ……………….(2)
X = 6 years
From eq (1) and eq (2) we can see that age of Shyam in
different in both the equations so we need to balance Age of Sujeet 10 years later = 5 * 6 = 30 years
them. Multiplying eq(1) by 5 and eq(2) by 2 we get,
So the present age = 20 years
R : S : K = 15 : 10 : 6 …………….(3)
9) Answer: A
Average present age of all three of them = 31 years
Page 10 of 22
Solution: From eq (2) we can see the difference of first and last
term is 60 units which is equals to 120 value.
The ratio of radius to the height of cone is 5 : 3
So we can say that 60 units = 120 values
R : h = 5 : 3 …………….(1)
1 unit = 2 values
Ratio of volume of cylinder to the cone is 2 : 3.
So the originals number will be obtained by multiplying
Vcy : Vcone = 2 : 3 ………………..(2) the eq(1) by 2
Eq (2) can also be written as, Originals numbers = 260 , 280 and 180
2 2
(πr h ) / (πr h/ 3 ) = 2 : 3
hcy : hcone = 2 : 9 ………….(3) 11) Answer: C

From eq (1) we have ratio of radius to height of cone and
Solution:
also radius of both shape is equals to 25 which we can
put here, Given is the ratio of red and black color in the complete
sheet is 5 : 7.
from eq(1)
Upper part is having the ratio of 4 : 3.
25 / hcone = 5 / 3
Lower part is having the ratio of 2 : 5
hcone = 15
Mid part is having red color equal to the total color in the
Putting this value in eq (3) we get, lower part which is 7 units.
hcy = 10/3 cms Now see if we add each color then it must be equals to
Volume of cylinder = πr2h the complete part ratio. So we will try to frame an
equation,
Volume of cylinder = 6547 cm3
Numerator will represent red and denominator will
10) Answer: A represent black.

Initial investment ratio of Arun : Varun : Karan In eq(1) we can see that age difference is 3 units while in
eq(2) it is 1 unit so we need to balance this difference.
5*8 + 3*6 : 5*14 : 2*6 We will multiply eq(1) by 1 and eq(2) by 3
On solving above we get investment ratios as; Above equations can be also written as,
29 : 35 : 6 ……………(1) A0 : S0 = 5 : 8
Given is that Karan’s initial investment was 30000 /- A+8 : S+8 = 9 : 12
which is equals to 6 units.
So from here we can say that 4 units = 8 years i.e
1 unit = 2 years
Such that 1 unit = 5000 rupees
Present age of Sumit = 16 years
Profit of Arun = 29 * 5000 = 1,45,000/-
Sumit’s age after 2 years = 18 years
If Arun pays 10% TDS then he will left with 90% so the
90% of 1,45,000 = 1,30,500/- Ratio of Age of Sumit after two year to the age of son at
present is in the ratio of 9:2.
13) Answer: A
From comparing here we can say that if 9 units = 18
Solution: years
Initial Ratio of investment of these three friends, so 2 units = 4 years
Amar : Bimar : Kamar Present age of his son = 4 years
6*8 +5*10 : 5*8 + 10*10 : 4*10 15) Answer: D
Ratio’s can be written as;
Solution:
49 : 70 : 20 ……………(1) Ratio of milk to water in container A is 3 : 2
Since the difference between Bimar and Kamar is 50 Ratio of milk to water in container B is 4 : 1
units which is equal to15000, i.e 1 unit = 300 rupees
In container A, if 10 litres of water is added to container
So the profit of Amar is 49 units = 49 * 300 = 14700 B then new ratio becomes 2 : 3.So from here we can say
14) Answer : A that only water is added so milk must be same in both the
cases. Now we have to balance milk in container A
Solution :
Ratio of milk to water in container B is 4 : 1
Ratio of Present age of Amit to Sumit = 5 : 8 ……………(1)
…………….(1)
10 litres of water is added to container B then new ratio

Above equations can be modified as, 9x - 16y = 2 ……………(2)
Ratio of milk to water in container B is 4 : 1 On solving eq (1) and eq (2)

……………(3)
We get x = 2 and y = 1
10 litres of water is added to container B then new ratio
becomes 4 : 6……………(4) Total blue balls in bag A is 3x = 6 Balls
So from above equations we can say that 5 unit = 10 Total blue balls in bag B is 4y = 4 Balls
litres So total blue balls = 10
1 unit = 2 Litres 17) Answer: A
Now we can see that final mixture in container B was 10 Solution :
units and 1 unit = 2 Litres so final mixture in container B
is 20 Litres in which water was 8 litre and milk was 12 Given:
litre.
(a – b + c ) : ( b – c + 2w ) : (2a + c – w ) = 3 : 4 : 7
Container A is having half capacity of B i.e 10 Litres so ……………..(1)
milk will be 6 litres and water will be 4 litres.
From eq (1) we can observe that sum of first two terms
16) Answer: D in the ratio is equals to the third ratio.
Solution: So we can equate them.
Bag A Bag B (a – b + c ) + ( b – c + 2w ) = (2a + c – w )

…………….(2)
Red 2x 3y
On solving eq (2) we get,
Blue 3x 4y
3w = a + c ………….(4)
Green 4x y
In the evaluating part we can see that we ( a + c ) is four
Condition 1: If 2 more balls were added to bag A then times. So we will multiply eq(4) by 4 and on multiplying
the ratio of balls in bag A to B becomes 5 : 2. we get,
It can be written as – (9x + 2)/8y = 5/2 12w = 4( a + c )………….(5)
On solving above equation we get, Putting above value in the evaluating section we get,
18x + 4 = 40y……………..(1) (12w – 2w) / w
Condition 2: If 1 ball is added to bag B ratio of balls in 10 : 1
bag A to bag B becomes 2 : 1
18) Answer: A
It can be written as (9x)/(8y+1) = 2/1
On solving above we get,

25) Answer: A a/b = 4/3
Solution: 27) Answer: D
Three persons P, Q, R spend 75%, 70%, 80%of their Solution:

income.
Let the two digit number be 10a + b and the number
So the savings of them will be , formed by reversing its digits be 10b + a.
P : Q : R (10a + b)/(10b + a) = 7/4
Expenditure 75% : 70% : 80% 40a + 4b = 70b + 7a
Saving 25% : 30% : 20% 33a = 66b
Savings ratio (given) 20 : 9 : 8 Therefore,
Multiplying above ratio by 10 we get a/b = 2/1
Savings ratio (given) 200 : 90 : 80 So, let us list down all possible values for a and b
From here we can say that 25% = 200 so 1% = 8 and so a b Number Reverse
on so the income ratio can be written as,
2 1 21 12
Income ratio 8 : 3 : 4
4 2 42 24
Let income ratio be 8x, 3x and 4x,
6 3 63 36
15x = 45000
8 4 84 48
x = 3000
Reverse pair – 12 + 24 + 36 + 48 = 120
Income of P, Q and R = 24000, 9000 , 12000
28) Answer: A
26) Answer: C
Solution:
Solution:
Ram and shyam has 7 and 8 eggs respectively (Total 15)
As we know, the compound ratio for the ratios (a : d), (b
: e), (c : f) is (a*b*c : d*e*f) Hence, for the given ratios, So ram and shyam has to give 2 and 3 eggs to Sundar to
compound ratio is obtained as, make them equally. (5 eggs each)
[(3a + 2b)/3] x [1/(3a + b)] = 2/5 Sundar gave him Rs. 50 for these 5 eggs of ram and
shyam
5 x (3a + 2b) = 6 × (3a + b)
That means 5 eggs equals to Rs.50
15a + 10b = 18a + 6b
1 egg equals to Rs.10
3a = 4b
Page 16 of 22
So ram gives 2 eggs of Rs. 20 and shyam gives 3 eggs of Solution:

Rs. 30.
Aggregate ratio of five subject 10 : 9 : 8 : 7 : 6 will be
29) Answer: A 8………………(1)
Solution: Since the aggregate marks scored by the student is 8

units.So from here we can say that,
4 buckets filled of same fraction
8 units equals to 40%
i.e a/200 = b/350 = c/470 = d/650 = k(let)
Then 1 unit equals to 5%
a : b : c : d = 200 : 350 : 470 : 650
Maximum marks in each subjects is 100% which will be
a : b : c : d = 20 : 35 : 47 : 65 equals to 20 units.
∴ 20 + 35 + 47 + 65 = 167 units Passing marks in each subjects is given as 35% of
167 units tends to 2505 maximum marks.
1 unit tends to 15 Passing marks = 35% of 20 units.
Smallest bucket contains 20 units i.e 20 × 15 = 300. Passing marks = 7 units.
30) Answer: C From eq(1) we can directly observe that their is only one
value which is less than 7 while other are greater than 7
Solution: so from here we can say that the following student is
passed in four subjects.
Expenditure = Fixed cost + Variable cost
Alternative method
Fixed cost is always same in manufacturing of television
i.e. Let the full marks of each subject is 100. So,
Total Mark in five subjects = 500.
For 150 TV expenditure is 13400 and
Student gets 40% aggregate marks i.e. 40% of 500 = 200
For 180 TV expenditure is 15000 marks.
10x+ 9x+ 8x + 7x +6x = 200
30 units equals to 1600 40x = 200
x = 200/40 = 5.
150 units equals to 8000
Marks in first subject = 10x = 10 *5 = 50
That means 13400 – 8000 = 5400 is fixed cost Marks in second subject = 9x = 9 *5 = 45
Marks in third subject = 8x = 8 *5 = 40.
Cost of 240 units = 12800 + 5400 = 18200 Marks in fourth subject = 7x = 7 * 5 = 35
Similarly cost of 270 units = 14400 + 5400 = 19800 Marks in last subject = 6 *5 = 30.
Thus, he passed in 4 subjects.
240TV : 270TV = 18200 : 19800 = 91 : 99

stairs
Total 15x = 15 × 63 = 945
Means overall person moves 5 stairs
34) Answer: C
So 5 stairs equals to 240
Solution:
1units equals to 48
(A – B)/(X – Y) = 3 : 2 (given)
First Person climb up 2 stairs means 96 steps taken
(A/B) = (X/Y) (given)
Similarly, second person climb up 3 stairs escalator
moves 8 stairs (A+B)/(A – B) = (X+Y)/(X – Y) ( by applying
Componendo &Dividendo)
8 stairs equals to 240
(X+Y)/(A+B) = (X-Y)/(A-B) = 2 : 3
1 stairs equals to 30
35) Answer: B
Second person climb up 3 stairs means 90 steps taken
Solution:
So total steps taken is 90 + 96= 186
M = Men/Women, N = Women/Men
Alternative method
M×N =1
Ratio of first person to first escalator is 2: 3
N = 1/M
Ratio of second person to second escalator is 3: 5
7( M + 1/M)…………..(1)
2/5*240+3/8*240
From eq (1) we can say that minimum value of M can be
So total steps taken is 90 + 96= 186 1.
33) Answer: D So on putting value of M we get,
Solution: 7×2 =14
Let ‘x’ be the animals in zoo 36) Answer: A
Lion: elephant: dog = 5x : 7x : 3x Solution:
Elephant is 4x more than dog i.e. From 1st statement we have,
4x tends to multiple of both 3×21 = 63 a + b + c = 7-------- (1)
63 is not divisible by 4 and animals cannot be in fraction From 2nd statement we have,
form, they should be a complete number with multiple of
3×21. a + b + c = 21------- (2)
Page 18 of 22
We have to multiple 3 with 1st eq. to get equal value of a D= d×n/square root of q
+ b + c so we get
D1/D2 = d1/d2 × n1/n2 × square root of q2/q1
a = 9, c = 8 and b = 4
120/78 = 60/42 × 20/10 × square root of q2/ √ 169
b : (c + a) = 4 : 17
Square root of q2 = 7
37) Answer: C
q2 = 49

Solution:
2 2 2 2
(9a -12ab + 4b ) + (4b -12bc + 9c ) =0
Total sum to be distributed between them was 39,000/-
2 2
(3a - 2b) + (2b - 3c) = 0
Son = 3 * Daughter …………..(1)
From here we will be equating both terms to zero and
finding ratio’s, Daughter = 2 * Mother …………….(2)
a/b = 2/3 and b/c = 3/2 Making the common ratios, we get
The ratio of a : b : c = 2 : 3 : 2 Son : Daughter : Mother = 6 : 2 : 1 ……………..(3)
38) Answer: D Son : Daughter : Mother = 5 : 4 : 1 …………..(4)
Eq (3) denotes the share of single person while eq (4)

Solution:
denotes number of persons
In the given question, we have increase in plan in
percentage form while increased or actual price is not Multiplying eq (3) and eq (4) we get,
given. Son : Daughter : Mother = 30 : 8 : 1 …………….(5)
So we can say that it is not possible to find the actual Adding all 30x + 8x + x = 39000
value hence result will be cannot be determined.
39x = 39000
39) Answer: C
x = 1000
Solution:
41) Answer: D
Duration (D) = distance(d)/velocity(v)
Solution:
Velocity = square root of quantity (q)/number of
carriages (n) Price of gold depends on the weight of its square and
divides in 3 parts in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5 then gold weight is
Put velocity in duration to be 12 kg.
Page 19 of 22
If gold break into 9 : 5 : 2 then gold weight is to be 16 Suppose the number of 2 rupees coins is 6x and number
kg. of 5 rupees coins is 11x.
But actually gold weight is same in both conditions. If the number of 5 rupees coins is halved, then she will
have an amount of Rs. 790.
So to make it equal we have to multiply with 4 in 12 kg
of gold and multiply with 3 with 16 kg of gold then we 6x * 2 + (11x/2) x 5 = 790
get 12 : 16 : 20 and 27 : 15 : 6.
39.5x= 790
Gold depends on weight of its square so previously gold
weight 144 + 256 + 400 = 800 x = 20
And now weights 729 + 225 + 36 = 990 means 190 Number of 2 rupees coins that Moni has = 6x= 120
190 units tends to 152000 44) Answer: D
1 unit tends to 800 Solution:
Actual cost of gold is square of 48 × 800 i.e. 1843200 For dividing 16 into two whole numbers, the sum of the
ratio terms must be a factor of 16.
42) Answer: C
1) 5 : 3 = 5+3 = 8 (factor of 16)
Solution:
2) 1 : 1 = 1+1 = 2(factor of 16)
Virus inside a human organ can triple itself at every
second. So, if number of virus is 1 at the beginning 3) 1 : 7 = 1+7 = 8(factor of 16)
Number of virus after 1 sec = 3 4) 3 : 4 = 3 + 4 = 7( not factor of 16)
Number of virus after 2 sec = 3 raise to the power 2 Option (4) because 3 + 4 = 7 doesn't divide 16 into whole
Number of virus after 3 sec = 3 raise to the power 3 numbers.
Number of virus after 4 sec = 3 raise to the power 4 45) Answer: A
Number of virus after 5 sec = 3 raise to the power 5 Solution:
In the same way, Number of virus after 31 sec = 3 raise Let the salaries of Ram, Shyam and Raman be 3a, 5a and
to the power 31 7a respectively.
Number of virus after 34 sec = 3 raise to the power 33 Let the original sum of Ram's and Shyam's salary be b.
Ratio of number of virus at 31 sec and 33 sec is 1:27 b(1- 25/100) = 2000
43) Answer: B 0.75b = 2000
b = 2666.6

Cannot be determined because sum of money is not
46) Answer: B given in either of the cases.
Solution: 49) Answer: D
Given that, a + b + c = 1 and ab + bc + ca =1/ 3 Solution:
ab + bc + ca/ a+b+c = 1 : 3 (sin x + cos x)/(sin x - cos x) = (10 + 131/2)/(10-

131/2)……………(1)
Заb + 3bc + 3ca = a + b + c
Applying Componendo and Dividendo,
a (3b - 1) + b(3C – 1) + с(За - 1) = 0
Sin x/ cos x = 10/ root 13
Since a, b, c are non-zero terms so,
Tan x = 10/root 13
(3b – 1), (3c - 1) and (3a - 1) must be zero
50) Answer: C
a = b = c =1/3
Solution:
a : b : c = 1/3 : 1/3 : 1/3
Let wide be x
a :b:c=1:1:1
Byes+ wide+ run (Monu and Sonu) = 232
47) Answer: D
x + x + 8 + 26x = 232
Solution:
28x = 224
Angle S is fourth proportional of angles P, Q and R then,
X=8
P/Q = R/S
Run scored by Monu and Sonu is 6:7
Ratio of angles Q and P is 5 : 4, and angle S is 125°
Means, 13 units tend to 26x
So P/Q = 4/5
1 unit tends to 2x = 2×8 =16
4/5 = R/125
Therefore run scored by Sonu is 16 × 7 = 112
R = 4 x 25 = 100
