Hints & Solutions

1. Solution (2) 5. Solution (2)
From equation I: From I:
x2 -11x -102 = (x -17)(x + 6)= 0 3x2 – 5x + 2 = 0
=> x = 17, -6 3x2 – 3x – 2x + 2 = 0
From equation II: (3x – 2)(x – 1) = 0
y2 +30y +224 = (y + 14)(y + 16) = 0 x = 2/3 , 1
=> y = -14, -16 From II:
X = 17 X = -6 24y2 – 13y – 2 = 0
Y = -14 x>y x>y 24y2 – 16y + 3y – 2 = 0
Y = -16 x>y x>y (3y – 2)(8y + 1) = 0
So, x > y y =2/3, - 1/8
Therefore, x ≥ y
Hence, option 2.
2. Solution (2)
From equation I: 6. Solution (2)
x2 -10x -24 = (x + 2)(x -12)= 0 C = 10 hours
=> x = -2, 12 We know, efficiency and time are inverse of each
From equation II: other.
y2 +32y +192 = (y + 24)(y + 8) = 0 Efficiency ratio, C: B = (100 + 100)/100 = 2: 1
=> y = -24, -8 Then, time ratio, C: B 1: 2
X = -2 X = 12 B = 2C = 2 * 10 = 20 hours
Y = -24 x>y x>y Now, (1/A) + (1/B) = 1/15
Y = -8 x>y x>y (1/A) + (1/20) = 1/15
So, x > y A = 60 hours

3. Solution (3) 7. Solution (2)

From equation I: (I) x2 + 13x + 42 = 0
x2 +30x +221 = (x + 17)(x + 13)= 0 => x2 + 7x + 6x + 42 = 0
=> x = -17, -13 => (x + 7)(x + 6) = 0
From equation II: => x = -7 or -6
y2 +24y +143 = (y + 13)(y + 11) = 0 (II) y2 + y - 2 = 0
=> y = -13, -11 => y2 - y + 2y - 2 = 0
X = -17 X = -13 => (y + 2)(y - 1) = 0
Y = -13 x<y x=y => y = -2 or 1
Y = -11 x<y x<y When x = -7 and y = -2, then x < y
So, x ≤ y When x = -6 and y = -2, then x < y
When x = -7 and y = 1, then x < y
When x = -6 and y = 1, then x < y
4. Solution (4)
Thus, x < y
From equation I:
x2 -27x +180 = (x -15)(x -12)= 0
8. Solution (3)
=> x = 15, 12
Let maximum marks = m
From equation II:
Passing marks = 65% of m + 26
y2 -3y -108 = (y + 9)(y -12) = 0
Passing marks = 80% of m - 67
=> y = -9, 12
Now, 65% of m + 26 = 80% of m - 67
X = 15 X = 12
15% of m = 93
Y = -9 x>y x>y
m = 93 * 100/15
Y = 12 x>y x=y m = 620
So, x ≥ y Therefore, passing marks = 65% of 620 + 26
= 429

9. Solution (1) Hence, option 1.

Compound interest at 20% for 2 years = 20 + 20 + 15. Solution (5)
(20*20)/100 = 44% 3.98 × 29.67 ÷ 11.90 of √24.89 = ?% of 199.79
Compound interest = 12000*44% = 120*44 = 4 × 30 ÷ 12 of √25 ~ ?% of 200
5280 120 ÷ (12 × 5) ~ (?/100) × 200
SI on 12000 at 12% p.a for 2 years = 12000*24% 2~?×2
= 120*24 = 2880 ?~1
Difference between CI and SI = 5280 - 2880 Hence, option 5.
=2400
16. Solution (5)
10. Solution (4) 80% of 125 + √1296 - ? = 2 * (15 - 10)
SP1 - CP = (CP - SP2)/2 => 100 + 36 - ? = 10
800 - CP = (CP - 500)/2 => ? = 126
1600 - 2CP = CP - 500
3CP = 2100 17. Solution (4)
CP = 700
? - 27 * 112 ÷ 16 = (48 + 50)(50 - 48)
SP at 20% profit = 120% of 700 = 120*7 = Rs 840
=> ? = 189 + 196
11. Solution (4) => ? = 385
15 years ago, Let age of A = 9x and age of B = 5x
Present age of A = 9x + 15, and Present age of B = 18. Solution (4)
5x + 15 From I:
After 30 years, y2 + 180 = {81(3/4)}y
(9x + 15 + 30)/(5x + 15 + 30) = 9/7 Or, y2 + 180 = 27y
63x + 315 = 45x + 405 Or, y2 – 27y + 180 = 0
x = 90/18 = 5
Present age of A = 9*5 + 15 = 60 years Or, y2 – 12y – 15y + 180 = 0
Or, y(y – 12) – 15(y – 12) = 0
12. Solution (4) Or, (y – 12)(y – 15) = 0
Ratio of their investment = 32400 * 12 : 48600 * So, y = 12 or y = 15
12 : 37800 * 3 = 24: 36: 7 From II:
C's share of profit = 67000 * 7/(24 + 36 + 7) = Rs. x2 – 33x + 270 = 0
7000 Or, x2 – 18x – 15x + 270 = 0
Or, x(x – 18) – 15(x – 18) = 0
13. Solution (4) Or, (x – 18)(x – 15) = 0
40.08% of 299.89 = ?% of (11.98 × 10.02) + 5.982 So, x = 18 or x = 15
40% of 300 = ?% of (12 × 10) + 62 ‘x’ Relationship ‘y’
40% of 300 = ?% of 120 + 62 18 > 12
120 = (?/100) × 120 + 36 18 > 15
84 = ? × (6/5)
? = 70 15 > 12
Hence, option 4. 15 = 15
Therefore, x ≥ y
14. Solution (1) Hence, option 4.
√483.98 + 120.02 of 119.89 ÷ 59.87 of 29.87 = ?
√484 + 120 of 120 ÷ 60 of 30 ~ ? 19. Solution (1)
22 + (120 × 120) ÷ (60 × 30) ~ ? ? = 16 x 19 - 46 x 48
? ~ 22 + 8
? ~ 30 = 304 - 2208

26. Solution (3)
Average of the weight of 19 boys = 64 kg Mall A 360 420 180
Sum of the weight of 19 boys = 64*19 = 1216 Mall B 280 240 320
Average of the weight of 19 boys and a teacher = Mall C 480 440 360
64.5 kg Mall D 340 260 160
Sum of weight of 19 boys and a teacher = 64.5*20
The number of people who visited Mall C on
= 1290
Thursday = 360 * 1.5 = 540
Weight of teacher = 1290 - 1216 = 74 kg
Required average = (540 + 480 + 360)/3 = 460

30. Solution (5) 33. Solution (4)

Tabulating the above data: Let length of the rectangle = 12k cm and breadth
Friday Saturday Sunday of the rectangle = 7k cm
Mall A 360 420 180 So, radius of the circle = {7/6 * 12k}/2 = 7k cm
Mall B 280 240 320 According to the question,
Mall C 480 440 360 Perimeter of rectangle = circumference of the
circle - 36 cm
Mall D 340 260 160
=> 2(l + b) = 2πr - 36
The number of people who visited Mall D and
=> 2 * (12k + 7k) = 2 * 22/7 * 7k - 36
Mall C on Monday = 60/100 * 160 + 75/100 * 360
=> 38k = 44k - 36
= 366 => 6k = 36
So, required average = 366/2 = 183 => k = 6
So, radius of the circle = 7 * 6 = 42 cm

Tabulating the above data: 34. Solution (2)
Friday Saturday Sunday Quantity of liquid A in 60 L of mixture = 60 *
Mall A 360 420 180 11/20 = 33 L
Mall B 280 240 320 Quantity of liquid B in 60 L of mixture = 60 *
Mall C 480 440 360 9/20 = 27 L
Mall D 340 260 160 Given,
Required ratio = 480: 320 = 3: 2 33/(27 + X) = 11/89
267 = 27 + X
32. Solution (3) X = 240
Therefore, 40% of 240 = 4 * 24 = 96
Tabulating the above data:
Friday Saturday Sunday
35. Solution (4)
Mall A 360 420 180
Let speed of train A, train B, and train C are A, B,
