41.Answer: (d) Difference of the ages of the one who works in SAIL
42.Answer: (c) and U is perfect square.
43. Answer: C Age of the one who works in SAIL is neither odd nor is
Explanation: eldest among all.
Thus, only possible such combinations are (42, 33) &
(36, 27).
That means, in case (1a) & case (2a) the one who
works in SAIL was born in 1977, in case (1b) & case
(2b) the one who works in SAIL was born in 1983.
Based on above given information we have:
We have:
Two persons was born after the one who works in
DRDO.
At least three persons was born between P and the one
who was born in DRDO.

Again, we have:
P neither works in NAL nor works in IG.

Age of the one who works in TCS is prime number. Again, we have:
That means, the one who works in TCS was born in The one who works in SBI is elder to S but not as much

Number of persons born before the one who works in IG > SBI > S
BHEL is same as number of person born after Q. The one who works in IG is neither eldest nor was born
Q neither works in TCS nor was born in even year. after the one who works in ISRO.
That means, in case (1a) & case (2a) Q was born in That means, the one who works in IG was born in 1983
1983, case (1b) & case (2b) are not valid. and S is youngest among all.
Based on above given information we have: Neither V nor R works in SAIL.
V is younger to the one who works in NAL and T but
not as much as W and the one who works in ISRO.
NAL, T > V > W, ISRO.
Since, P doesn’t works in NAL, thus case (2a) is not
valid.
That means, in case (1a) R works in NAL and is eldest
among all.

Based on above given information we have final Case (2a) is not valid as P doesn’t works in NAL.
arrangements as follows: Clearly, the one who works in SAIL was born in 1977.
Hence, option C is correct choice.

Quantitative Aptitude
1.Answer: C A is opened for 2n hours and outlet B and C is for n
Explanation: hours.
A can fill the tank in 5 hours. So, 2n*3 – n*5 = 7.5
B and C empty the half tank in 1.5 hours. In 3 hours it 6n-5n = 7.5
will empty the full tank. n = 7.5
Take LCM for 5 and 3 we get 15. Thus, A is opened for 2n hours = 2*7.5 = 15 hours
So, consider the capacity of the tank to be 15 litres 2.Answer: B
We have, A’s Speed is 3 litres/hour Explanation:
Combined speed of B and C is 5 litres/hour, x + y = 25
According to the question, the tank is half filled. So 7.5 x-y=5
litres to be filled
Page 63 of 92
Say, distance between A and B is ‘D’ and so distance (4 – 4x/5)/(1 – x/5 + x) = 2/1
between B and C is D / 2 => (20 – 4x)/(5 + 4x) = 2/1
A goes to B downstream and comeback from B to C => 20 – 4x = 10 + 8x
upstream => 12x = 10
D / 25 + (D / 2) / 5 = 14 => x = 10/12 = 5/6
D / 25 + D / 10 = 14 Required part = (5/6)/5 = 1/6
D = 100 km 5.Answer: C
3.Answer: b Explanation:
Explanation: A–S=4
time taken by A to complete one round = 132/2 = 66 A/F = ½
minutes 2A = F
time taken by B to complete one round = 132/1 = 132 (M + 12)/(S + 12) = 7/4
minutes 7S + 84 = 4M + 48
time taken by C to complete one round = 132/1.5 = 88 4M – 7S = 36
minutes 4M – 7(A – 4) = 36
H.C.F 0f 66, 132 and 88 = 22 4M – 7A + 28 = 36
They will meet after 22 minutes at the same point. 4M – 7A = 8 ------------(1)
4.Answer: c (F – A)/(M – A) = 6/5
Explanation: 6M – 6A = 5F – 5A
let the amount drawn off = x 6M – 5F = A
according to the question 6M – 5(2A) = A
Page 64 of 92
6M – 11A = 0 --------------(2) x = 1425*(400/19) = 30000
(1) * 6 – (2) * 4 The amount invested in S.I = 72000 – x = 72000 – 30000
A = 24 years = Rs. 42000
F = 2 * 24 = 48 years 10.Answer: C

x, D = Ed + Sd
According to the question, D=B+A
x*[(1 + 10/200)2 – 1)] + [(72000 – x)*15*1]/100 = 9375 So, A + B + C+ D = 100000
x*[(210/200)2 – 1)] + 10800 – (15x/100) = 9375 D + C + D = 100000
(41x/400) + 10800 – (15x/100) = 9375 2D + C = 100000
(41x/400) – (15x/100) = 9375 – 10800 2D = 100000 – 30000 = 70000
-19x/400 = -1425 D = 35000

11.Answer: D 13.Answer: D
Explanation: Explanation:
Expenditure of person D = (4/3)*Savings of person D Person E Salary = (120/100)*20000 = 24000
Ed = (4/3)*Sd Savings = (88/100)*9000 = 7920
D = 35000 Expenditure of E = 24000 – 7920 = 16080
Ed + Sd = 35000 14. Answer: A
(4/3)*Sd + Sd = 35000 Explanation:
(7/3)*Sd = 35000 From Statement I,
Sd = 15000 = A w = b = 1/24
Ed = 20000 = B 2/24 + 1/24 + 1/m = 1/6
Savings of four persons = 5:9:12:15 1/m = 1/6 – 1/12 – 1/24
Sd = 15000 = (15/41)*Total savings 1/m = (4 – 2 – 1)/24
Total savings = 41000 5 men complete the work = 5/24
Savings of A = (5/41)*41000 = 5000 = 24/5 days
Expenditure of A = 15000 – 5000 = 10000 So, Statement I alone is sufficient to the answer the
12.Answer: C question.
Explanation: From Statement II,
Total salary = 100000 One boy and one woman can do the work in 12 days
Total savings = 41000 while 10 women and 10 men in 8 days.
Total expenditure = 59000 b + w = 1/12
Ratio = 59:41 10w + 10m = 1/8
Page 66 of 92
w + m = 1/80 So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the

From Statement I, So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the
Area of the rectangle= 160 cm2 question.
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient to the answer the 17.Answer: C
question. Explanation:
From Statement II, According to question,
Area of parallelogram = 192 cm2 S.P of article A = 2220 × 70/100= 1554
So, Statement II alone is not sufficient to the answer S.P of article B = 2416 × 75/100= 1812
the question. S.P of article C = 2600 × 80/100= 2080
16.Answer: D S.P of article D = 2400 × 85/100= 2040
Explanation: S.P of article E = 3138 × 50/100= 1569
From statement I, Required average = (1554 + 1812 + 2080 + 2040 +
x – y = 2 or 1569)/5= 1811.
y–x=2 18.Answer: C
5xy9 is divisible by 3, so sum of digits is multiple of 3, Explanation:
(x + y + 14) = 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 C.P of article B = 1840, Profit % = 20
So, x + y = 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 S.P = 1840 × 120/100 = Rs 2208
Page 67 of 92
Discount = 2416 – 2208 = Rs 208, time taken by B to complete one round = 132/1 = 132
Now, minutes
C.P of article D = 2380, loss % = 10 time taken by C to complete one round = 132/1.5 = 88
S.P of article D = 2380 × 90/100 = Rs 2142 minutes
Discount = 2400 – 2142 = Rs 258. H.C.F 0f 66, 132 and 88 = 22
Required sum = (208 + 258) = Rs 466 They will meet after 22 minutes at the same point.
19.Answer: B 21.Answer: B
Explanation: Explanation:
C.P of article C = 1700 Perimeter of the square = 112 cm
S.P of article C = 1700 × 115/100 = Rs 1955 Side of the square = 112/4 = 28 cm
Discount = Rs (2600 – 1955) = Rs 645 Surface area of sphere= 4 * 22/7 * r * r
Now, if C.P is increased by 20% then C.P = 1700 × 5544 = 4 * 22/7 * r * r
120/100 = Rs. 2040 Radius of the sphere = 21 cm
So, S.P = 2040 × 115/100 = Rs 2346 Required ratio = 28:21 = 4:3
Discount = (2600 – 2346) = 254 22.Answer: E
Required Difference = (645 – 254) = Rs 391. Explanation:

minutes (13C4/52C4)
Required probability = {(286*39)/52C4} + (715/52C4)
Page 68 of 92
Required probability = {11869/52C4} Explanation:
Required probability = {11869/(52*51*50*49/4*3*2)} The speed of train P on Monday = 240 / 4 = 60 km/hr
Required probability = {11869/13*17*25*49} The speed of train P on Tuesday = (75 * 2) – 60 = 90
Required probability = {913/17*25*49} km/hr
Required probability = {913/20825} Time = 4 hours
23.Answer: E The distance covered by train P on Tuesday
Explanation: = > 90 * 4 = 360 km
Let G, R and B be the number of green, red and black 25.Answer: A
balls respectively. Explanation:
G + R + B = 15 The speed of train Q on Monday = 280 / 3.5 = 80 km/hr
P (two balls are green) = 2/21 The speed of train T on Monday = 324 / 4.5 = 72 km/hr
G*(G-1)/(15*14) = 2/21 Required ratio = 80: 72 = 10 : 9
G^2 – G = 20 26.Answer: D
G^2 – G – 20 = 0 Explanation:
G2 – 5G + 4G – 20 = 0 The speed of slowest train = 240/4 = 60 km/hr
G(G-5) + 4(G-5) = 0 The speed of fastest train = 495/5.5 = 90 km/hr
(G+4)*(G-5) = 0 Required % = (60/90) * 100 = 66.67 %
G=5 27.Answer: B

= > 372/5 = 74.4 km/hr 29.Answer: B
28.Answer: C Explanation:
Explanation: Let number of boys in 12th class in school C = c
Let number of boys in 12th class in school D = d So, number of boys in 10th class in school C = c + 120
So, number of boys in 10th class in school D = d + 120 * (135°/360°) = c + 45
* (75°/360°) = d + 25 Let number of girls in 10th class in school C = r
Let number of girls in 10th class in school D = s So, number of girls in 12th class in school C = r + 90 *
So, number of girls in 12th class in school D = s + 90 * (120°/360°) = r + 30
(80°/360°) = s + 20 From the question:
From the question: c + 45 = r * (212.5/100) = 17r/8
s – (d + 25) = 5 8c + 360 = 17r
s – d = 30 -------------(1) 17r – 8c = 360 -------------(1)
And, And,
s + 20 = 2 * (d + 25) – 90 r + 30 = c * (88/100) = 22c/25
s + 20 = 2d + 50 – 90 25r + 750 = 22c
2d – s = 60 -------------(2) 22c – 25r = 750 -------------(2)
By equation (1) + equation (2): By equation (1) * 11 + equation (2) * 4:
d = 90, s = 120 187r – 88c + 88c – 100r = 3960 + 3000
Page 70 of 92
r = 80 and c = 125 (245 – q) * (80/100) = 96
Quantity I: 245 – q = 120
Number of boys in 12th class in school C = 125 q = 125
Number of girls in 12th class in school C = 80 + 30 = Number of girls in 10th class in school B = 125
110 Number of boys in 10th class in school B = 245 – 125
So, total number of students in 12th class in school C = 120
= 125 + 110 = 235 Number of girls in 12th class in school B = 125 + 90 *
Quantity II: (100°/360°) = 150
Number of boys in 10th class in school C = 125 + 45 = Number of boys in 12th class in school B = 120 – 120 *
170 (60°/360°) = 100
Number of girls in 10th class in school C = 80 Required difference = (100 + 150) – (120 + 125) = 5
So, total number of students in 10th class in school C 31.Answer: A
= 170 + 80 = 250 Explanation:
Hence, Quantity I < Quantity II Let number of boys in 12th class in school A = a
30.Answer: E So, number of boys in 10th class in school A = a + 120
Explanation: * (90°/360°) = a + 30
Let number of girls in 10th class in school B = q Let number of girls in 10th class in school A = p
So, number of boys in 10th class in school B = 245 – q So, number of girls in 12th class in school A = p + 90 *
Since, all the girls of 10th class in schools B got pass (60°/360°) = p + 15
and 20% boys of 10th class in school B got fail: From the question:
So, number of boys in 10th class who got pass: a + 30 = (p + 15) * (187.5/100)
Page 71 of 92
8a + 240 = 15p + 225
15p – 8a = 15 --------------(1)
And,
a/p = 24/13
From equation (1):
15 * (13a/24) – 8a = 15
65a – 64a = 120
a = 120, p = 120 * (13/24) = 65
So, total number of students in 10th class and 12th
class together in school A: Total booking charges paid by Anshu and Anshul is

customer is, because Total booking charges is vary. Ashu is a female visitor
There are the possibilities Total booking charges paid by Anshika = 622.5 – 46.5
From scatter graph and table = 576
Anshika is a female Customer
Page 72 of 92
Total billing amount of Ashu = 0.85 x (22500 + 15% x Total billing amount paid by Anshika = 0.85 x (15000 +
22500 + 20% x 22500 + 10% of 22500 + 622.5) = Rs. 15% of 15000 + 20% of 15000 + 1750 + 576) = 19189.6
28260 (approx.) Required difference = 27600 – 19189.6 = 8410.4
34.Answer: B
Explanation:
If Anshul is a female visitor, the total billing charges =
Rs. 1254
Total billing amount of Anshul = 0.85 x (36000 + 15%
Total billing amount of Anshul = 16000 + 15% x 16000 of 36000 + 20% of 36000 + 10% of 36000 + 1254) =
+ 20% x 16000 + 1750 + 1500= 24850 45436 (approx.)
Required % change = (28260 – 24850)/24850 x 100 = Total billing amount paid by Ashu = 0.85 x (22500 +
13.7% more approx. 15% x 22500 + 20% x 22500 + 10% of 22500 + 622.5) =
X = 2, Y = 2 Rs. 28260 (approx.)
Required value = 2 x 2² + 96 x 2 + 18 = 8 + 192 + 18 = Required difference = 45436 – 28260 = Rs. 17176
218 35. Answer: D
33.Answer: A Explanation:
Explanation: X = 2, Y = 2
Total billing amount paid by Anshu = 18000 + 15% of Required value = 32 x 2² + 3 x 2 + 16 = 128 + 6 + 16 =
18000 + 20% of 18000 + 10% of 18000 + 1500 = 27600 150
