Hints & Solutions

1. Solution (3) II. 2y2 – 3y – 2 = 0
I. x2 + 13x + 42 = 0 ⇒ 2y2 – 4y + y – 2 = 0
⇒ x2 + 6x + 7x + 42 = 0 ⇒ 2y(y – 2) + 1(y – 2) = 0
⇒ x(x + 6) + 7(x + 6) = 0 ⇒ (2y + 1)(y – 2) = 0
⇒ (x + 6)(x + 7) = 0 Then, y = –1/2 or y = 2
Then, x = – 6 or x = – 7
So, when x = 7/3, x > y for y = –1/2 and x > y for
II. y2 + 19y + 90 = 0
y=2
⇒ y2 + 10y + 9y + 90 = 0
And when x = 2, x > y for y = –1/2 and x = y for y
⇒ y(y + 10) + 9(y + 10) = 0
⇒ (y + 10)(y + 9) = 0 =2
Then, y = – 10 or y = – 9 ∴x≥y
So, when x = – 6, x > y for y = – 10 and x > y for
y=–9 4. Solution (4)
And when x = – 7, x > y for y = – 10 and x > y for I. 17x2 – 153x + 238 = 0
y=–9 ⇒ x2 – 9x + 14 = 0 [Dividing both sides by 17 ]
∴ We can observe that x > y. ⇒ x2 – 7x – 2x + 14 = 0
⇒ x(x – 7) – 2(x – 7) = 0
2. Solution (5)
⇒ (x – 7)(x – 2) = 0
Calculation:
Then, x = + 7 or x = + 2
I. 6x2 – 43x + 72 = 0
⇒ 6x2 – 27x – 16x + 72 = 0 II. 2y2 + 3y – 14 = 0
⇒ 3x(2x – 9) – 8(2x – 9) = 0 ⇒ 2y2 – 4y + 7y – 14 = 0
⇒ (2x – 9) (3x – 8) = 0 ⇒ 2y(y – 2) + 7(y – 2) = 0
Thus, x = 9/2 or 8/3 ⇒ (y – 2)(2y + 7) = 0
II. 12y2 – 61y + 70 = 0 Then, y = + 2 or y = – 7/2
⇒ 12y2 – 21y – 40y + 70 = 0 So, when x = + 7, x > y for y = + 2 and x > y for y
⇒ 3y(4y – 7) – 10(4y – 7) = 0 = – 7/2
⇒ (4y – 7) (3y – 10) = 0 And when x = + 2, x = y for y = + 2 and x > y for
Thus, y = 7/4 or 10/3 y = – 7/2
Comparison between x and y (via tabulation):
∴ So, we can clearly observe that x ≥ y.
Value of x Value of y Relation
9/2 7/4 x>y 5. Solution (5)
9/2 10/3 x>y I. 2x2 – 12x + 18 = 0
8/3 7/4 x>y ⇒ 2x2 – 6x – 6x +18 = 0
8/3 10/3 x<y ⇒ 2x(x – 3) – 6(x – 3) = 0
⇒ (x – 3)(2x – 6) = 0
∴ We can observe that no relationship could be Then, x = + 3 or x = + 6/2 = + 3
established between x and y II. 2y2 – 19y + 39 = 0
⇒ 2y2 – 13y – 6y + 39 = 0
3. Solution (3) ⇒ y(2y – 13) – 3(2y – 13 ) = 0
I. 3x2 – 13x + 14 = 0 ⇒ (2y – 13)(y – 3) = 0
⇒ 3x2 – 6x – 7x + 14 = 0 Then, y = + 13/2 or y = + 3
⇒ 3x(x – 2) – 7(x – 2) = 0 So, when x = + 3, x < y for y = + 13/2 and x = y
⇒ (3x – 7)(x – 2) = 0 for y = + 3
Then, x = 7/3 or x = 2
∴ So, we can clearly observe that x ≤ y.

6. Solution (4) 9. Solution (1)

On Wednesday On Wednesday
Total number of pizza and burger delivered orders Number of pizza and burgerorders
= 70% of 220 = 154 = 70% of 220 = 154
Total number of burger delivered orders = 154 × Number of pizza orders = 154 × (6/11)
(5/11) = 70 = 84
On Friday On Thursday
Total number of pizza and burger orders = 85% of Number of pizza and burger orders
420 = 357 = 380 × 80% = 304
Total number of burger orders = 357 × (4/7) = 204
Number of pizza orders = 304 × (1/2)
∴ Required number of burger orders
= 152
= 70 + 204 = 274
Total number of pizza and burger orders on
Wednesday and Thursday = 84 + 152 = 236
7. Solution (5)
On Sunday On Thursday
Number of pizza and non burger orders Number of pizza and burger orders
= 250 × 76% = 190 = 380 × 80% = 304
Number of pizza orders = 190 × (11/19) Number of burger orders = 304 × (1/2)
= 110 = 152
On Monday On Friday
Number of pizza and burger orders Number of pizza and burger orders
= 320 × 75% = 240 = 85% of 420 = 357
Number of pizza orders = 2400 × (2/3) Number of burger orders = 357 × (4/7)
= 160 = 204
Total number of pizza orders on Sunday and Total number of pizza and burger orders on
Monday together = 110 + 160 = 270 Thursday and Friday = 152 + 204 = 356
On Tuesday ∴ Required Difference = 356 – 236 = 120
Number of pizza and burger orders
= 280 × 50% = 140 10. Solution (4)
Number of burger orders = 140 × (5/14) On Wednesday
= 50 Number of pizza and burger orders
On Wednesday
= 70% of 220 = 154
Number of pizza and burger orders
Number of pizza orders = 154 × (6/11)
= 70% of 220 = 154
= 84
Number of burger orders = 154 × (5/11)
On Sunday
= 70
Total number of burger orders on Tuesday and Number of pizza and burger orders
Wednesday together = 50 + 70 = 120 = 76% of 250 = 190
∴ Required Ratio = 270 : 120 = 9 : 4 Number of burger orders = 190 × (8/19)
= 80
8. Solution (3) ∴ Required Percentage
On Thursday = [(84 – 80)/80] × 100 = 5%
Number of pizza and burger orders
= 380 × 80% = 304 11. Solution (3)
Number of burger orders = 304 × (1/2) The Given series,
= 152 ⇒7×1+1=8
On Monday ⇒ 8 × 2 + 2 = 16 + 2 = 18
Number of pizza and burger orders ⇒ 18 × 3 + 3 = 54 + 3 = 57 = ?
= 320 × 75% = 240 ⇒ 57 × 4 + 4 = 228 + 4 = 232
Number of pizza= 240 × (2/3) = 160 ⇒ 232 × 5 + 5 = 1160 + 5 = 1165
∴ Required Percentage = (152/160) × 100 = 95%
 8

12. Solution (4) ∴ Required percentage = (20 + 20 + 40 + 50 +

The pattern of the given series: 50)/5 = 36%
⇒ 4 + 112 = 125
⇒ 125 + 122 = 269 17. Solution (4)
⇒ 269 + 132 = 438 The percentage increase for each year in the two
⇒ 438 + 142 = 634 = ? schools is represented as:
⇒ 634 + 152 = 859
∴ The missing number of the series = 634 Year Public School Government School

2014 20% 30%

13. Solution (1)
The pattern of the number series is – 2015 20% 35%
3 × 1 + 12 = 4
4 × 2 + 22 = 12 2016 40% 35%
12 × 3 + 32 = 45
45 × 4 + 42 = 196 2017 50% 45%
Hence 45 will come in place of question mark
2018 50% 55%
14. Solution (3) Let the number of students in 2018 are x
The given series is based on the following pattern. ⇒ x = 5000 × 140% × 150% × 150%
120 ÷ 8 = 7 ⇒ x = 5000 × (7/5) × (3/2) × (3/2)
15 × 7 = 105 ⇒ x = 15750
105 ÷ 6 = 17.5 ∴ Number of students in 2018 were 15750
17.5 × 5 = 87.5
? = 87.5 ÷ 4 = 21.875 18. Solution (5)
Hence, 21.875 will come in place of question mark. As information given in percentage only. So,
number of students cannot be determined.
15. Solution (1)
Important Points
The given series is based on the following pattern.
It must be noted that the number of students cannot
12 × 1 = 12
12 × 1.5 = 18 be determined by using only the percentage
18 × (1 + 1.5) = 18 × 2.5 = 45 increase in the number of students. We need to have
45 × (1.5 + 2.5) = 45 × 4 = 180 the value of at least one of the years, to determine
180 × (4 + 2.5) = 180 × 6.5 = 1170 the value required.
? = 1170 × (4 + 6.5) = 12285
Hence, 12285 will come in place of question mark. 19. Solution (2)
The percentage increase for each year in the two
16. Solution (3) schools is represented as:

20. Solution (4) Now, 50% of the remaining fruits is used to make
The percentage increase for each year in the two juice
schools is represented as: ∴ Fruits used for juice = (50/100) × 20x
Government % increase from previous = 10x
Year The difference between the number of fruits he used
School year
to make juice and number of rotten fruits is 48
2014 30% – According to question
⇒ 20x – 10x = 48
[(35 – 30)/30] × 100 = ⇒ 10x = 48
2015 35%
16.67% ⇒ x = 4.8
2016 35% [(35 – 35)/35] × 100 = 0% ∴ Total fruits bought by the vendor
= 4.8 × 100 = 480
[(45 – 35)/35] × 100 =
2017 45%
28.57% 23. Solution (2)
Given

21. Solution (4) Calculation
Calculations : Let the age of his daughter is X years.
Let the present ages of Raman and Mohit be R and Three years ago, sum of ages of all four family
M respectively. members = 14 × 4 = 56 years
According to question , average of present age of Today the total age of the 4 members of the family
Raman and Mohitis 21 years. is
⇒ (R + M)/2 = 21 ⇒ 56 + (4 × 3) = 68 years
⇒ R + M = 42 ––––(1) A girl having been born, the average of the family
After 3 years, the ratio of ages of Raman and is same today 14yr
Mohitwill be 7 : 5. ⇒ 14 = (68 + X)/5
The ages of Raman and Mohit after 3 years be (R + ⇒ 68 + X = 70
3) and (M + 3) respectively. ⇒X=2
⇒ (R + 3)/(M +3) = 7/5 ∴ The age of his daughter is 2 years.
⇒ 5R – 7M = 6 ––––(2)
On solving Equation (1) and (2) we get , 24. Solution (2)
⇒ M = 17 and R = 25 years. Given:

Let the fruits bought by the vendor be 100x Calculation:
20% were rotten and was thrown away by the Total number of fruits in First Basket
vendor = 7 + 6 = 13
Rotten fruits = (20/100) × 100x = 20x Total number of fruits in second Basket
∴ Remaining fruits = (80/100) × 100x = 5 + 8 = 13
= 80x Probability of drawing a mango from First Basket
75% of the remaining fruits was sold = 7/13
∴ Fruits sold = (75/100) × 80x = 60x Probability of drawing a mango from the second
Remaining fruits = 80x – 60x = 20x Basket = 8/13
 10

Probability of selecting a basket = 1/2 ⇒ 27

Probability of drawing mango from any basket = Number of male students in Biology coaching = 45
7/13 × 1/2 + 8/13 × 1/2 = 15/26 – 27
∴The probability of drawing a mango is 15/26. ⇒ 18

Given:
Scheme P offers 10% Simple interest 27. Solution (3)
Scheme Q offers 10% Compound interest
Time = 2 years
Formula used:
Amount = P + (P × R × T) / 100 Required average = (84 + 60 + 45)/3
Amount = P × {1 + (R / 100)} T ⇒ 63
Calculations:
As 20,000 is divided equally, Principal for both 28. Solution (4)
schemes = 10, 000 (each)
∴ For scheme P let amount be A1 and for scheme Q
let amount be A2
As scheme P is on simple interest,
Amount = P + (P × R × T) / 100 Hence, number of students enrolled for Physics
⇒ A1 = 10000 + (10000 × 10 × 2) / 100 coaching = 66
⇒ A1 = 12000
29. Solution (4)
Similarly, for scheme Q: as it is on compound
interest
Amount = P × {1 + (R / 100)} T
⇒ A2 = 10000 × {1 + (10 / 100)}2
⇒ A2 = 10000 × (11 / 10)2
⇒ A2 = 12100 Number of students enrolled for Mathematics and
∴ Difference between amounts A1 and A2 Biology coaching together = 45 + 45
= 12100 – 12000 = Rs. 100 ⇒ 90
We using the formula for 2 years, if the principal is Number of students enrolled for Computer and
same in both SI and CI Physics coaching together = 66 + 84
Difference = Principal{Rate/100}2 ⇒ 150
Difference = 10000 × (10/100)2 Required difference = 150 – 90
Difference = Rs. 100 ⇒ 60
∴ Difference between amounts Scheme P and Q
is Rs.100. 30. Solution (2)

Given: Work complete by P alone in = 24 days Distance between stations P and Q = 310 km
Work complete by Q alone in = 36 days Speed of train P that starts at 10 a.m = 40 km/hr
Q works for = 9 days Speed of train Q that starts at 11 a.m = 50 km/hr
R works for = 6 days Formula used:
Wages of P, Q and R = 2880 When to bodies are moving in the opposite
Formula used: Wages received = (Total wages / direction, the relative speed is calculated by adding
Work done) the speed of both the bodies.
Calculation: Work done by P in 1 day Calculation:
= 1 / 24 Distance travelled by one train between 10 a.m and
11 a.m = 40 km
Work done by Q in 1 day = 1 / 36
Distance left = 310 km – 40 km = 270 km
Work done by P and Q in 1 day
Relative speed of both trains = (40 + 50) km/hr =
= (1 / 24) + (1 / 36)
90 km/hr
⇒ [ (3 + 2) / 72]
Time taken to cover remaining distance
⇒ 5 / 72 = (270/90) hours = 3 hours
Work done by P and Q in 9 days Time to meet = 11 a.m + 3 hours = 2 P.M
= [ (5 × 9) / 72] ∴ The time at which both trains will meet is 2
⇒ 45 / 72 P.M
Remaining work = 1 – (45 / 72) ⇒ 27 / 72
Work done by P and R in 1 day 34. Solution (3)
= (27 / 72) / 6 ⇒ 9 / 144 Given:
Work done by R in 1 day Investing in the ratio b/w Anshand Vansh
= (9 / 144) – (1 / 24) =5:9
⇒ [ (9 – 6) / 144] Profit percent used to buy shop = 30% from the total
⇒ 3 / 144 ⇒ 1 / 48 profit
Work done by C in 6 days Calculation:
= (1 × 6) / 48 Let total profit = 1000x
⇒1/8 After buying the shop, remaining profit
Wages of C = (2880 × 1) / 8 = (100x ─ 30x) = 70x
∴ share of Ansh = 70x × (5/14)
∴Rs. 360
∴ share of Vansh= 70x × (9/14)
According to the question,
32. Solution (4)
⇒ 70x × (5/14) = 9800
Given:
⇒ x = 392
The ratio of water and milk is 4 : 5
∴ Share of Vansh = 392 × 70 × (9/14)
The final ratio is 15 : 32
= Rs. 17640
Calculation: Share of Vansh = 9/5 × share of Ansh[As, 30% of
Let the initial quantity of water and soda in the the profit is used upfront.]
vessel be 4x and 5x respectively ⇒ Share of vansh = 9/5 × 9800 = Rs. 17640
According to the question
4x−155x+21=15324x−155x+21=1532 35. Solution (5)
128x – 480 = 75x + 315 Given:
53x = 795 The selling price of an item for A = Rs. 5700
x = 15 Discount percentage = 5%
Initial quantity of water in the vessel = 4x Formula:
= 4 × 15 = 60 litres Profit percentage = (selling price – cost price) /
∴ Initial quantity of water in the vessel is (cost price) × 100
60 litres Selling price after discount percentage

= marked price × (100 – discount percentage)/100 = 6000 + 5700 = Rs. 11700

Calculation: Total cost price of items = 5000 + 5000
Marked price of an item = 5700 × 100/95 = Rs.10000
= Rs. 6000 ∴ Required profit percentage
⇒ Cost price of an item = 6000 × 100/120 = (11700 – 10000)/10000 × 100
= Rs. 5000 = 17%
