Let the total number of respondents be x. ⇒ Given men are 60%, i.e. 60, anf females will be
Percentage of uncertain individuals 40.
= [100 – (20 + 60)]% = 20%. ⇒ Engineers is 48% -> 48.
60% of x – 20% of x = 720 ⇒ 40% of x = 720 ⇒ 66.6% of Engineers are men -> 2/3 of 48 -> 32.
40 720×100 ⇒ Now, Total engineers = men engineers + female
⇒ 100 𝑥 = 720 ⇔ x= ( ) = 1800

Minimum passing marks for girls = 35% of 1500 ⇒ After increase of 25% in Suraj salary and 12.5%
35 in Komal salary, we have
= (100 × 1500) = 525.
⇒ Suraj' salary = 5x/4, komal's salary = 9y/8
(using fractions)
11. Solution (1)
⇒ Given that after increase Komal' salary is 120%
Number of valid votes
of Suraj's salary,
= (100 – 15)% of 15200 = 85% of 15200
85
⇒ 9y/8 = 6/5 x 5x/4
= (100 × 15200) = 12920 ⇒ 3y = 4x .......2
Valid votes polled by other candidate ⇒ Equating in 1st and 2nd equation, we get 5x/4 =

kg. 5x + x = 792, X =132
Let the total weight of fresh grapes be x kg. Votes of winner candidate = 5*132 = 660
Then, (100 – 80)% of x
𝑥
= 225 ⇒ 20% of x = 225 ⇒ 5 = 225 24. Solution (2)
⇒ x = 225 × 5 = 1125. Given, Ramesh's marks = 300
Hence, total weight of fresh grapes = 1125 kg. Ramesh's % marks = 300*100/400 = 75%
Anwar’s% marks = 80%
20. Solution (5) Pawan’s% marks = 90%
Pawan’s marks = 90% of 400 = 360
= 100x
25. Solution (2) Number of boys = 600x – 100x = 500x
n (A) = A + 6, n (B) = (A -8), n (A ∩ B) = 28. A/q,
So, n (A U B) = n (A) + n(B) - n(A∩B) = A + 6 + 500x = 275
A - 8 - 28 = 50. x = 0.55
Total number of students = 0.55 × 600
A = 40
= 330
26. Solution (1)
Saving = 50% of (100 - 40)% of (100 - 30)% of
31. Solution (2)
Rs. 36,800 Quantity I: Because percentage of girls = 60%,
= Rs. (50/100 * 60/100 * 70/100 * 36800) = Rs. So the percentage of boys = 100 – 60% = 40%
7728. Quantity II: Last year, Girls was 300 × 50% = 150,
boys = 300 × 50% = 150
27. Solution (3) girls = 150 × 110% = 165, boys = 300 – 165 = 135
Let maximum marks be 100x
According to the question,
30% of 100x + 25 = 40% of 100x – 50 32. Solution (2)
30x + 25 = 40x – 50 Quantity I: Let the number of girls = x and the
10x = 75 number of boys = y
Maximum marks = 750 then 50% of x = 30% of y
Passing marks = 30% of 750 + 25 5x = 3y
= 225 + 25 = 250 x = number of girls = 3a then y = number of boys
250 = 5a
Required percentage = (750) × 100
percentage=3/8*100=37.5%
= 33.33%
Quantity II: Let the number of girls = x and the
number of boys = y
28. Solution (3)
then 33.33% of x = 66.67% of y
x = 2y
29. Solution (1)
x:y=2:1
15.38% = 2 × 7.69% and 7.69% = 1/13
x = number of girls = 2a
∴ 15.38% = 2/13
then y = number of boys = a
Let original number be 13x
percentage=2/3*100=66.66%
After increment = 15x
Therefore, Quantity : I < Quantity : II
Let y% should be decreased to get original number
15x (100 – y)/100 = 13
33. Solution (2)
1500 – 15y = 1300
Let the number of boys = 4x and the number of
15y = 200
girls = 5x
y = 200/15
If 45 students from the same school leave the
y = 40/3% = 13(1/3)%
school
Number of boys left=45*4/9=20
30. Solution (3)
Number of girls left=45*5/9=25
16.66% = 16(2/3)% = 50/300 = 1/6
the number of boys = 4x = 4 × 15 = 60 and
Let total number of students = 600x
the number of girls = 5x = 5 × 15 = 75
So, number of girls = 600x × 1/6
When, 50% of the boys left then the remaining Quantity I:
number of boys = 50% of 60 = 30 Let the ten’s digit and unit digit of the number be x
Total students = 30 + 75 = 105 and y respectively.
Parentage=30*105/100=28.57 According to the question,
Quantity : I < Quantity : II (x + y)2 = 144
Therefore, x + y = 12........ (1)
34. Solution (1) Also, 10x + y + 36 = 10y + x
Quantity I: the number of fit = 300*8/15 = 160 Or, 9x – 9y = -36
The number of non - fit = 300 - 160 = 140 Or, x – y = -4....... (2)
The number of occasional exercise doers = 25% of On solving equation (1) and (2), we get
160 = 40 x = 4 and y = 8
The number of daily exercise doers = 160 - 40 = 120 Therefore, the number is = 10x + y = 48
The total number of students who do gym = 60% of Quantity II:
300 = 180 Let the two numbers be 4x and 3x respectively.
The number of occasional exercise doer who do According to the question,
gym = 20% of 40 = 8 (3x + 8) = 0.775(4x + 8)
The total number of non - fit who do gym = 50% of Or, 3x + 8 = 3.1x + 6.2
140 = 70 Or, 0.1x = 1.8
The number of students who are daily exercise doer Or, x = 18
as well as do gym = 180 - 70 - 8 = 102 Therefore, smaller number is 3x = 54
Quantity II: 100 37. Solution (1)
Therefore, Q1 > Q2 Quantity I:
Let the total number of males and females be 8x
35. Solution (5) and 9x respectively.
Quantity A: (8x – 40)/(9x – 30) = 6/7
Income of A = 100x × (125/100) = 125x Or, 56x – 280 = 54x – 180
After increment income of A = 125x × 6/5 = 150x Or, 2x = 100
Or, x = 50
After increment income of B = 100x × 5/4 = 125x
Total number of females in the college = 9x = 450
Income of A is more than the income of B by =
Required number = 450/10 = 45
(150x – 125x/125) × 100 = 20%
Quantity II:
Quantity B: According to the question,
Let, the expenditure on the product be Rs x. 867 – 377 – 40 = x% of 1800
Let, the earlier price of the commodity be Rs y/kg. Or, 450 = x% of 1800
Price of the commodity now = y + y × 25/100 = Or, x = 450/18 = 25
1.25y
Earlier consumption = x/y kg 38. Solution (1)
Consumption now = x/1.25y kg Quantity I:
Reduction in consumption Required ratio = (4x + 5x): (4x – y + x + y)
= x/y – x/1.25y = x/5y kg = > 9x : 5x = 9 : 5
Required percentage = > (9/5) = 1.8
= (x/5y)/(x/y) × 100% = 20% Quantity II:
Quantity A = Quantity B Investment ratio * Period ratio = Ratio of

= > 10 : 7 Quantity I:
= > (10/7) = 1.428 Let x be the total number of voters
Voters promised to A = 2x/5
39. Solution (2 ) Voters backed out = 15% of 2x/5
Quantity I: Voters promised to B = 3x/5
Total number of sweets Voters backed out = 25% of 3x/5
= 80 x 15 x 80/100 + 5 x 80 x 25/100
Total No. of votes for A = 2x/5 – 15% of 2x/5 +
= 960 + 100 = 1060
25% of 3x/5 = 49x/100
Quantity II:
Total number of invalid votes = 15 % of 560000 Total No. of votes for B = 3x/5 – 25% of 3x/5
= 15/100 × 560000 +15% of 2x/5 = 51x/100
= 8400000/100 51x/100 – 49x/100 = 200
= 84000 x = 10000
Total number of valid votes 560000 – 84000 = Quantity II:
476000 Let income of B is= x
Percentage of votes polled in favour of candidate Then income of A and C should be 1.5x and 1.8x
A = 75 1.5x+x+1.8x=86000
% X=20000
Therefore, the number of valid votes polled in Income of C is 1.8*20000=36000
favour of candidate A = 75 % of 476000
= 75/100 × 476000

Quantity II Quantity I Quantity I:
Cost price = x 476-x C.P of first article = C.P of second article = Rs.
Selling price= x*75/100 (476-x)*129/100 2550
Both sp are equal So, S.P of first article = 2550 * 124/100 = Rs.
25x = (476 – x) × 43 3162
25x + 43x = 476 × 43 And, S.P of second article = 2550 * 142/100 = Rs.
68x = 476 × 43 3621
x = 301. So, difference = 3621 - 3162 = Rs. 459
Quantity II:
Let C.P = Rs. 100x
32. Solution M.P = 100x * 110/100 = Rs. 110x
Let the marked price of the article = 10x And, S.P = 110x * 95/100 = Rs. 104.5x
then discounted price after 10% discount on the So, profit = 104.5x - 100x = 4.5x
marked price = (100 – 10)% of 10x = 90% of 10x => 18 = 4.5x
= 9x => x = 18/4.5
The selling price after adding 5% sales tax on the => x = 4
discounted price = (100 + 5)% of 9x = 105% of 9x C.P = Rs. 400
= 1.05 × 9x 36. Solution
Quantity I: 1.05 × 9x = 850.5 1.05x = 94.5 x = Let the Cost Price of the article be Rs 'x'
90 The marked price of the article = 10x = 10 × 90 So, Marked Price of the article = Rs (x + 432)
= Rs. 900 Selling Price of the article = (x + 432)*(75/100) =
Quantity II: 900 Rs ((3x/4) + 324)
Therefore, Quantity I = Quantity II So, (3x/4) + 324 - x = 144
33. Solution x/4 = 180
Let the CP = Rs. 4x then SP = Rs.5x x = 720
According to the question Quantity I:
4x/5x-500= 6/5 Selling Price of the article = (3/4)*720 + 324 = Rs
10x = 3000 864
x = 300 Quantity II:
Cost price = 4x = Rs. 1200 Marked Price of the article = 720 + 140 = Rs 860

34. Solution According to the question,
CP of one Apple= 24/16= 1.50 (120/100) * CP = 480
SP of one Apple= 27/15=1.80 CP = 480 * (4/5) = Rs. 400
Profit=1.80-1.50=0.30 SP = 450
Profit Percentage= 0.30/1.50*100=20% Profit % = (Profit / CP) * 100
Let the cost price of the product = Rs. 100 = > (50 / 400) * 100
Marked price of the product = 1.60 × 100 = 160 = > 12.5 %
Quantity II: Profit of the mobile = 414 – 300 = Rs.114
According to the question, Quantity 2: 112
CP1= 500, Profit = 25 % Quantity I>quantity II
SP1 = 500 * (125 / 100) = 625 40. Solution
CP2 = 500, Loss = 5 % Cost price of the cooker = Rs.x
SP2= 500 × (95 / 100) = 475 selling price of the cooker = 115/100 * x
Total selling price = S.P1 + S.P2 = 625 + =115x/100
475 = Rs. 1100 selling price of the cooker after sold Rs.180 more=
Total cost price = 500 + 500 = 1000 127/100 * x =127x/100
Profit % = (100 / 1000) * 100 = 10 % (127x/100) - (115x/100) = 180
38. Solution 12x = 18000
Quantity I: x = 1500
660*(75/100) = CP*(110/100) Cost price of the cooker = Rs.1500
CP = 660*(75/100)*(100/110) = Rs. 450 Selling price of the cooker = 1500 * 85/100 =
Quantity II: Rs.1275
400*(90/100) = CP*(120/100) Ratio of the cost price and marked price of the
CP = 400*(90/100)*(100/120) = Rs. 300 article is 2x:3x
The shopkeeper offers the discount of Rs.300
while he gets the profit of 25%.
39. Solution 3x – 300 = 2x * 125/100
Cost price of the mobile = Rs.300 x = 600
Marked price of the mobile = 300 * 3/2 = Rs.450 Cost price of the article = 600 * 2 = Rs.1200
Selling price of the mobile = 450 – 36 = Rs.414 Quantity I>quantity II

Hints & Solutions
1. Solution (2) Let the sum borrowed at the rate of 12 p.c.p.a be
S.I = (P × r × t) / 100 Rs. x
= (5000 × 10 × 3) / 100 = Rs. 1500 Sum borrowed at 10 p.c.p.a = Rs. (30000 – x)
Amount payable after 3 years = 5000 + 1500 = Rs. Simple interest = Rs. (36480 – 30000) = Rs. 6480
6500 According to the question,
2. Solution (3) [(x × 2 × 12) / 100] + [((30000 – x) × 2 × 10) /
S.I = 675 = P × (15 / 100) × (5 / 2) 100] = 6480
P = (675 × 100 × 2) / (15 × 5) 24x + 600000 – 20x = 648000
P = Rs. 1800 4x = 648000 – 600000 = 48000
3. Solution (1) x = 48000 / 4 = Rs. 12000
Interest for a period of 3 years = 1875 – 1650 = 9. Solution (4)
Rs. 225 S.I = (P × r × t) / 100
Interest for 1 year = 225 / 3 = Rs. 75 8736 = (P × 6 × 8) / 100 = (8736 × 100) / (6 × 8)
Interest for 2 years = 75 × 2 = Rs. 150 = Rs. 17450
Amount after 2 years = 1650 10. Solution (1)
Principal = 1650 – 150 = Rs. 1500 We are given S.I = (30 / 100) P in 6 years, so
And rate of interest = (75 / 1500) × 100 = 5% per To make S.I equal to P : multiply (30 / 100) P by
annum (100 / 30)
[ S.I for 1 year = (P × r × t) / 100 S.I = (30 / 100)P × (100 / 30) in (6 × 100) / 30
75 = (1500 × r × t) / 100 ] years
4. Solution (2) S.I = P in 20 years
Amount = P + Interest Method 2 :
15500 = P + (P × 12 × 2) / 100 30 / 100 P = (P × 6 × r) / 100
15500 = (124 / 100)P r=5%
P = 12500 finding time when S.I = P
5. Solution (4) P = P × (5 / 100) × t
When the sum doubles itself, means interest equal t = 20 years
to amount of principal is earned in 6 years. 11. Solution (3)
This means Let Ram took Rs. a and Shyam took Rs. b
SI = P in 6 years [then only Amount = P + P = 2P] Let the rate of interest was r% per annum
Now, SI should be equal to 5P such that amount They lent Rs. (a + b) to Mohan at the rate of (r +
becomes 6P 2)% per annum
So, SI is P in 6 years, it would be 5P in 6 × 5 = 30 For Ram,
years The total interest received on Rs. a = a × 4 ×r +
6. Solution (4) 2/100
Let the amount lent to Shahid =x, then The total interest paid by Ram to the bank = a × r
[ x + (x × 10 × 5) / 100 ] + [ (10500 – x) + (10500 ×4/100
– x)15 × 5 ) / 100 ] For Shyam,
= Rs. 17,375 The total interest received on Rs. b = b × 4 ×r+
(3 / 2)x + 18375 – (7 / 4)x = 17375 2/100
-(1 / 4)x + 18375 = 17375 The total interest paid by Shyam to the bank = b ×
x = Rs. 4000 r ×4/100
7. Solution (2) From the question,
P + (P × (8 / 100) × 4) = 5280 8/100a–8b/100= 400
(33 / 25)P = 5280 a – b = 50 × 100 = Rs. 5000
P = Rs. 4000 12. Solution (5)
Amount payable after 3 years Amount deposited = Rs. 1000
= 4000 + [ 4000 × (8 / 100) × 3] = Rs. 4960 Here we can use the formula of Arithmetic
8. Solution (4) Progression,
n/2{2a + (n – 1) d} S.I. = S.I for 1 & 2 year + S.I. for 3,4&5 year +S.I.
→ 10 × [ 9/2{2 × 10 + (9 – 1) × 3} ] for 6th year
→ 45 × 44 = 1980 ⇒ P + P ( 2 × 3 + 3 × 8 + 1 × 10 )/100 = 5320
Interest earned = Rs. 1980 ⇒ P = Rs. 3800
13. Solution (5)
Let the total investment in scheme B be Rs.x, then 19. Solution (1)
(49000 – X) ×5/100+ X ×12/100= 4900 5% for first three years,
X =5/7× 49000 = Rs. 35000 3 × 5% = 15%
14. Solution (5) 10% for next five years,
Let the amount of money Arjun had initially 5 × 10% = 50%
= Rs. x Time = 12 years,
Amount distributed between A and B = Rs. 0.65x 12% for the next 4 years,
Amount received by A = 0.65x ×6/13= Rs.0.3 x 4 × 12% = 48%
Amount received by B = 0.65x ×7/13= Rs.0.35 x Total rate interest = (15 + 50 + 48)% = 113%
Interest earned by B = 0.35x × 0.08 × 5 113% = 6780
= Rs.0.14 x 1% = 6780/113 = 60
Interest earned by A = 0.3x × 0.07 × 5 100% = 6000.
= Rs.0.105 x Principal = Rs. 6000
According to the question, 20. Solution (2)
0.14x – 0.105x = 1890 According to the question,
0.035x = 1890 2x × 15 × 20/100–x × 10 × 10/100 = 6x – x =
x = 54000 5x = 2500
So, the amount left with Arjun = 0.35 × 54000 = x = Rs. 500
Rs. 18900 21. Solution (3)
15. Solution (5) Principal = 2,00,000
According to the question, Interest per year = 5% of 2,00,000 = 10,000
8250 × (x + 4) % × 4 – 8250 × 8% × 4 = 1320 Interest after five years = 50,000
330 (x + 4) – 2640 = 1320 Now this amount is added in principal
330 (x + 4) = 3960 New Principal = 2,50,000
x + 4 = 12 ; x = 8 Interest = 3,50,000 – 2,50,000 = 1,00,000
So, the value of x = 8% Rate is 5%
16. Solution (1) Per year Interest = 12,500
Interest = A – P = 3840 Years =100000/12500= 8 years
Now, I =P × R × N/100 22. Solution (3)
3840 =12000 × 8 × x/100 Let, the total monthly income be Rs. ‘x’
x=4 Amount spent on rent = Rs. 0.2x
Interest = 18600 – 15000 = 3600 Remaining monthly income = Rs. 0.8x
3600 = 15000 × 12 × y/100 Amount spent on food = 0.25 × 0.8x = 0.2x
y=2 Amount deposited on savings account = Rs. 0.48x
x+y=4+2=6 So, 0.2x + 0.2x + a + 0.48x = x
17. Solution (2) a = 0.12x
According to the question, a = 12% of x
(x% of 60000) +(x% of 60000) × 13 × 3/100= 8294.4 =0.48x × 7.2 × 5/100= 829440 = 17.28x
29190 x = Rs. 48000
600x + 234x = 29190 So, a = 12% of x = Rs. 5760
834x = 29190 23. Solution (4)
x = 35 Let the sum of money = x
18. Solution (1) SI =P × R × T/100
Let principal be Rs P. x/2=x × t × 10
by solving, t = 5 years
When R = 10 + 3 = 13% then SI = x + 450 =x × 5 29. Solution (2)
× 13/100 Total interest earned in 6 years at the rate 13% =
By solving, x = 3000 13 × 6 = 78% of P
24. Solution (1) Total interest earned in 3 years at the rate 10% =
Let the amount be A and rate of interest be = 2 k 10 × 3 = 30% of P
% p.a According to the question,
A ×2k/100× 1 = 3120 ---eq (i) 78% of P – 30% of P = 3168
When invested at 4% more, rate of interest = (2k + 48% of P = 3168
4) % ⇒ P =3168 × 100/48= 6600/-
Interest = P × R × T = A × (2k + 4) ×3/2= A × (k + 30. Solution (2)
2) × 3 = 6240 ---eq (ii) Given that,
By doing eq(ii) /eq(i) (x% of 60000) +(x% of 60000) /100× 20 × 4
Solving this gives us k = 6 = 32400
The rate of interest = 12% and interest = 3120 = 600x +(600x) × 80/100= 32400
So, Amount =3120 × 100/12= Rs.26000 = 600x ( 1 +80/100 ) = 32400
25. Solution (2) = 600x {1.8} = 32400
Let the amount lent at 7% be X and hat lent at 12% = x = 30
be (1, 60,000 – X) 31. Solution (2)
But the interest at the end of one year = Rs 14400, Interest for first 5 years
which is 9% of 1, 60,000 = 25600*5*5/100
Using the allegation method, = Rs 6400
Ratio of the two amounts comes out to be 3 : 2 Amount to be received after 5 years
X/1,60, 000 – X= 3 : 2 = 25600+6400
X =3/5× 1, 60,000 = 96000 = Rs 32000
So the other amount = Rs 64,000 Interest for next 3 years
26. Solution (4) = 32000*3*5/100
Let Rajat lend the sum at x% rate to the second = Rs 4800
friend. 32. Solution (2)
According to the question, Let he borrow Rs. D
15% × 10000 + x% of 10000 = 20% of 20000 A.T.Q,
⇒ 15 × 100 + 100x = 20 × 200 𝐷×5×2 𝐷×10×4 𝐷×12×4
+ + = 10584
100 100 100
⇒ 100x = 4000 – 1500 98𝐷
⇒ 100x = 2500 ⇒ x = 25 100
= 10584
Hence, the required rate of interest is 25% p.a. D = Rs.10800
27. Solution (1) Therefore, he borrowed Rs.10800.
SI at the rate of 4% for 2 years =P × 4 × 2/100=8P/ 33. Solution (3)
100 Let the money lent to U be Rs.x
SI at the rate of 6% for 4 years =P × 6 × Therefore ,
4/100=24P/ 100 x*(18/100)*2 – 6000*(14/100)*2 = 650
SI for the next 3 years =P × 8 × 3/100=24P/ 100 => x= 6472.22
Total SI =8P/100+24P/100+24P/100 35. Solution (5)
⇒ P =1680 × 100/56= Rs. 3000 SI at the rate of 4% for 2 years ,
28. Solution (2) =( P* 4*2)/100 = 8P/100
According to the question: SI at the rate of 6% for 4 years ,
(P × r × r)/100=16/25× P [r = t] (P*6*4)/100 = 24P/100
⇒r2/100=16/25 SI for the next 3 years
⇒ r2 = 64 SI = (P*8*3)/100 = 24P/100
⇒ r = 8% Total SI = 8P/100 + 24P/100 + 24P/100
⇒ t = 8 years. =>P = (3360*100 )/56 = 6000
Now Req(4) S.I. = 25000 × 8 × 12/100= Rs.24000 35. Solution (5)
Let the sum be Rs. P According to the question,
𝑃×(6×3+5×8+5×4)
SI for the period of one year = 100
=
78𝑃
= 7020
1200
1200
Sum = 78 × 7020 = Rs. 108000
36. Solution (3) So, the value of x = 8%
Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then, 39. Solution (4)
S.I. for first 6 months = 100*10*1/100*2 =Rs5 We know that, formula to calculate simple
S.I. for last 6 months = 105*10*1/100* 2 interest:
=Rs5.25 SI = (p x r x t)/100
So, amount at the end of 1 year = Rs. (100 + 5 + (1600 × 2 × R) ÷ 100 = 1408
5.25) = Rs. 110.25 3200 R = 140800
Effective rate = (110.25 – 100) = 10.25% R = 44%
37. Solution (2) New rate = R – 16
Aman invested = x = 44 – 16 = 28%
Bhuvi invested = 4740 – x Interest = 1600 × 2 × 0.28
(4740 – x) 12/100 * 4 – x * 12/100 * 4 = 67.20 = Rs.896
48/100 ( 4740 – x – x) = 6720 40. Solution (1)
12/25 (4740 – 2x) = 67.20 (x + 3400) * 15 /100 * 2 + (x + 2200) * 20/100 * 2
4740 – 2x = 67.20 * 25/12 =7220
4740 – 2x = 140 (x + 3400) * 3/10 + (x+2200)*2/5 = 7220
2x = 4600 (3x + 102000/10) + (2x + 4400/5) = 7220
x = 2300 (3x + 10200 + 4x + 8800/10) = 7220
amount invests by Aman= 2300 7x + 19000 = 72200
38. Solution (5) x = 7600

A( 1+4/100)5 = B(1+4/100)7 year)
A/B = (1+4/100)² = 676/625 SI for 2 years= 640
676+625 = 15612 CI for 2 year=704; diff=64
1= 12 64=20% of 320
676 = 8112 hence r=20%
3. Solution (3) 20%=320
1000 = PR2/1002 100%=1600
1000 = P * 400/10000 9. Solution (2)
P = 25000 CI – SI = PR2/1002
simple interest for 1st year = 25000 * 20/100 = 324 = 14400R2/10000

by apply successive method, 10. Solution (1)
rate of CI = 10 + 10 + 10 * 10/100 = 21% Let the amount invested by Amar = the amount
compound interest = 25000 * 21/100 = 5250 invested by Bhuvan = Rs. P
Difference = 5250 – 5000 = 250 Then, interest received by Amar = P * ((1 +
4. Solution (4) 8/100)2 - 1) = 104P/625
second part + (4+4 +16/100) of second part = first And interest received by Bhuvan = P * 6 * 2/100 =
part 3P/25
second part + 8.16% of second part= first part Now, (104P/625) + (3P/25) = 358
first part/second part= 108.16/100 = 10816/10000 P = 1250
Let it be Rs x. in scheme X Let the sum invested by Sumit be Rs. x
So in Y=(12200-x) Therefore, sum invested by Samar = Rs. (8500 –
Therefore, [(1+10/100)2 -1] = [(12200-x) *10*4] x)

x=Rs 8000 {(8500 – x) × 30 × 4}/100 + x(1 + 30/100)2 – x
6. Solution (2) = 8160
Let amount borrowed be Rs 100. Or, 1.2 × (8500 – x) + 0.69x = 8160
Interest to be paid = Rs 4 Or, 0.51x = 2040
Gain= 6.09-4 = Rs 2.09 Or, x = 4000
Actual amount borrowed= 418/2.09 * 100 = 20000 Therefore, sum invested by Sumit = Rs. 4000
12. Solution (1) y = Rs. 8500
Interest received from scheme ‘A’ = {(x + 1500) × x = y + y – 750 = 2y – 750 = Rs. 16250
24 × 5}/100 = Rs. (1.2x + 1800) 17. Solution (4)
According to the question, first year = 4000+400=4400-1100=3300
0.75(1.2x + 1800)(1 + 20/100)2 = 10368 second year = 3300+330 = 3630-1100=2530
Or, 0.9x + 1350 = 7200 third year=2530 + 253 = 2783

23. Solution (4) annually at the rate of 10% per annum
Let the sum invested be Rs. x = P [(1.1) 2 − 1]
Ratio of the amounts received from scheme ‘P’ Interest on this amount when compounded half
and ‘Q’ yearly = P [(1.05) 4 − 1]
= {(x × 25 × 5)/100 + x}:x(1 + 20/100)2 = 25:16 So ATQ,
Therefore, amount received from scheme ‘P’ = P [(1.05) 4 − 1] – P [(1.1) 2 −1] = 881
9225 × 25/41 = Rs. 5625 ∴ P [1.05 4 – 1.1 2 ] = P[1.1025 2 – 1.1 2 ]
Sum invested in scheme ‘P’ = P(0.0025×2.2025) = 881 ⇒ P = 160000
= 5625 × 4/9 = Rs. 2500 29. Solution (5)
Interest received from scheme ‘Q’ CI = 102, t = 2yrs and r = 4%
= 1.44x – x = 0.44x = Rs. 1100 CI = A – P
24. Solution (1) ⇒ A = P + 102
According to the question, ∴P+102= P(1+4100)2
(3500 ×y × 4)/100 + 3500 = 5600 ⇒ 102 = 1.0816P – P
Or, 140y = 2100 ⇒ 102 = 0.0816 × P
Or, y = 15% ⇒ P = 1250
Therefore, sum invested at compound interest Given,
= (3500 + 500) = Rs. 4000 P =1250, t = 2 years, r = 4%
Amount received at compound interest SI = (1250 × 2 × 4) / 100
= 4000(1 + 15/100)2 = Rs. 5290 ⇒ SI = 100
Interest received from the simple interest = (12500 Let the principal be Rs. 1000
× 40 × 3)/100 = Rs. 15000 Therefore,
Interest received from the compound interest 10
Interest for 1st year = 1000× = Rs.1100
= 15000(1 + 20/100) – 15000 = Rs. 3000 100
26. Solution (3) Therefore,
Total interest earned in 1st year = {(12500 × 10 × 10
1)/100} + {(16900 × 7 × 1)/100} = 1250 + 1183
Interest for 2 year = 1100× 100 = Rs. 110
nd
= Rs. 2433
Principal for 3rd year = 1100 + 110 = Rs. 1210
Total interest earned in 2nd year = [12500 ×
Therefore,
{(1.1)2 – 1} + (16900 × 7 × 2)/100] – 2433
10
= (2625 + 2366) – 2433 = Rs. 2558
Required difference = 2558 – 2433 = Rs. 125 Interest for 3rd year = 1210× 100 = 121
And given difference in the interest between 3rd &
27. Solution (2)
2nd year is Rs. 1100
Let the amount invested be x,
∴ (121 -110) units = 1100
Simple interest earned on it
11 unit →1100
= (x × 12 × 3) /100 = 4140
1 uit = 100
 x = (4140 × 100) / (12 × 3)

Let efficiency of 1 man and 1 boy be M and B A+B =25 ————6 (1 days work) [total=150]
respectively. B+C =30————-5 (1 days work)
(9M + 12B) × 6 = (10M + 9B) × 7.5 C+A =37.5———–4(1 days work)
⇒ 54M + 72B = 75M+ 67.5B Total = LCM of 25,30,37.5
⇒ 21M = 4.5B 1 day work=total work/days
⇒ adding the three equation
2(A+B+C) = 15
A+B+C 1 day work = 7.5
2. Solution (4)
A+B+C – (B+C) =7.5 – 5 = 2.5
Let x people were supposed to work
A =150/2.5 = 60 days
∴ (x – 8) × 28 = x × 20
⇒ 7x - 56 = 5x
7. Solution (4)
⇒ x = 28

8. Solution (2)
Let the number of men designated for the work
4. Solution (2) be x and efficiency be 1 unit.
1/A + 1/B = 5/24 …..(1) Total work done by x men
1/B + 1/C = 5/36 ……(2) As per question;
1/A + 1/C = 13/72 ……(3)
Add equations 1 and 2 and then subtract 3 from
them.
(1/A + 1/B + 1/B + 1/C) – (1/A + 1/C) = 5/24 +
5/36 – 13/72
2/B = 1/6 9. Solution (4)
So B takes 12 days. Total units of work to be done is LCM of 5 and
15 i.e 15 units
5. Solution (5) Each day A can do 15/5=3 units of work
They work for 4 days. So complete Each day B can do 15/15=1 unit of work
(1/12 + 1/20) × 4 = 8/15 of work SO total units of work to be done=45 units
Now: In next 2 days all A, B, C completed Starting from B we have 1+3+1+3….= 45 i.e
(1/12 + 1/20 + 1/24) × 2 = 7/20 of work 4*11+1=45
So total work completed = 8/15 + 7/20 = 53/60 So total days=11*2+1/4
So remaining work = 1 – 53/60 = 7/60 Total days=22

3x = 12
y = 5x + 11/3
x=4
3x + 5x + (5x + 11)/3 = 52
age of son after 10 years = 10 + 4 = 14 years
9x + 15 x + 5x + 11 = 156
2. Solution (2) 29x = 145
Let the age of A = x years x=5
age of B = (38 – x) years the present age of B = 5 * 5 = 25 years
after 8 years,
(38 – x + 8) – (x + 8) = 2 7. Solution (2)
x = 18 10 years ago , let the age of Q = 2x
age of B before 5 years = 38 – x – 5 = 15 years and the age of P = x
at present , the age of P = x + 10
3. Solution (3)
the age of Q = 2x + 10
Let the age of D = x years
the age of A = (x – 5) years x + 10/2x + 10 = 3/4
the age of B = ( x – 5 + 8 ) = x + 3 years 6x + 30 = 4x + 40
the age of C = (x + 3 – 11) = x – 8 years 2x = 10
total sum of age of A , B ,C and D = 70 x=5
x + ( x – 5) + (x +3) + (x -8) = 70 sum of their ages after 3 years = 2x + 13 + x + 13
4x – 10 = 70 = 23 + 18 = 41 years
x = 20 years
The age of A = 20 – 5 = 15 years 8. Solution (3)
The age of B = 20 + 3 = 23 years Let age of son = 5x

Let the age of sister = x Q’s present age = 5x = 45 years.
the age of brother = 4x
4x + 18/x + 18 = 2/1 31. Solution (1)
4x + 18 = 2x + 36 Let the age of the father=x years.
2x = 18 So, The age of mother is = (x + 9) years
x=9 The age of daughter is = x/2years
The age of brother after 4 years = 4x + 4 = 40 years.
The age of son is = (x/2 – 7) years
Now according to the question, 36. Solution (2)
= 3 (x/2 – 7) = (x + 9) M + D = 51-----(1)
= (3x – 42)/2 = x + 9 M – 6 = 12 * (D – 6)
M – 6 = 12D – 72
= 3x – 42 = 2x + 18
12D – M = 66-----(2)
= 3x – 2x = 42 + 18 13D = 117
= x = 60 years D=9
So, age of daughter = 60/2 = 30 years M = 51 – 9 = 42
F = 42 * 15/14 = 45

4 years ago, total age of 4 members = 4 × 28 = 112 9. Solution (2)
years Since, the average weight increases by 2.5 kg,
= Total Age of the family just before baby is born hence sum of the weight would increases by 2.5 ×
= 112 + 4 × 2 = 120 years 8 = 20 kg
Total Present age of the family = 120 + 5 × 2 = So, weight of new person should be 20 kg more
130 than the one who is replaced
2 years hence the total age of the family = 130 + (5 Weight of new person = 65 + 20 = 85 kg
× 2) = 140
Average age of the family two years hence = 140 / 10. Solution (3)
5 = 28 years The new average is increased by 1 year, hence
sum of the age would have increased by 6 years.
4. Solution (4) Age of supervisor = 32 + 6 = 38 years
Sum of the age of man& son = 48 × 2 = 96
Given Ratio = 11 : 5 (i.e) age of man = (11 / 16) × 11. Solution (1)
96 = 66 years& Let the Quantity of A, B& C be 7x, 5x, and 4x. So,
That of son = 6 × 5 = 30 years Average Price of Mixture = [7x(35) + 5x(40) +
Ratio of their age 6 years hence would be (66 + 6) 4x(42) ] / (7x + 5x + 4x)
: (30 + 6) = 72 : 36 = 2 : 1 = (245x + 200x + 168x) / 16x = 613 / 16 = Rs.

Average Speed = (2xy) / (x + y) [Since distance 12. Solution (1)
travelled is same) Total expenditure of P, Q& R = 3 × 5000 = 15000
= (2 × 60 × 50) / (60 + 50) = 6000 / 110 = 54.54 Total expenditure of Q, R& S = 3 × 7000 = 21000
kmph S – P = 21000 – 15000 = 6000
Also, we are given S = 3P.
6. Solution (2) So 3P – P = 6000& P = 3000
Since distance travelled at different speeds is Total expenditure of Q& R = 15000 – 3000 =
same, we can use the shortcut 12000
Average Speed = (3xyz) / (xy + yz + zx) Average expenditure of Q& R = 12000 / 2 = Rs.

respectively 1 + 2 + ……. + 13
2n – 3 + 2n – 1 + 2n + 1+ 2n + 3 = 416 = (13 × 14) / 2 = 91
8n = 416 Sum of last two numbers = 195 – 91 = 104
n = 52 Numbers = 51 and 53
Hence, P = 2 × 52 – 3 = 10 4 – 3 = 101& S = 2n +
3 19. Solution (3)
= 2 × 52 + 3 = 104 + 3 = 107. Required sum = 101 M + N + O = 3 × 65 = 195 kg
+ 107 = 208 M + N = 2 × 69.5 = 139 kg
N + O = 2 × 66.5 = 133 kg
Weight of N = (139 + 133 – 195 ) kg = 77 kg
14. Solution (4)
Required average weight = (19 × 74 + 38 × 63) / 20. Solution (3)
(19 + 38) Kapil’s present age = 5 + 8 = 13 years
=(1406 + 2394) / 57 After 6 years, Kapil’s age = 19 years
= 3800 / 57 = 66.66 = 67 kg Father’s present age = (19 × 2) – 6 = 32 years
Romila’s present age = (1 / 4) × 32 = 8 years
15. Solution (3)
Weight of new person = 65 + 8 × 2.5 = 65 + 20 = 21. Solution (2)
85 kg Sum of the remaining 3 numbers = [(9*63) –
[(3*58)+(3*60)]]
16. Solution (2) =567 – (174+180)
7 years ago, Husband + wife =567 – 354=213
2 × 25 = 50 years Required average = 213 / 3=71
Sum of present ages of husband and wife = 50 + 22. Solution (1)
14 = 64 years Since the month begins with a Saturday,
Sum of present ages of husband, wife and child = So there will be 5 Saturday in the month.
22 × 3 = 66 years Required average = ((820*5) + (460*25) / 30)
Present age of child = 66 – 64 = 2 years = (4100+11500)/30
=15600 / 30
17. Solution (3) = 520
a + b + c + d = 124 The average no. of viewers per day in a month is
b + c + d + e = 128 520
c + d + e + a = 130
d + e + a + b = 136 23. Solution (3)
e + a + b + c = 142 Let Santhosh’s weight be y kg
on adding, 4(a + b + c + d + e) = 660 According to Santhosh 54<y<63
a + b + c + d + e = 165 According to Santhosh brother 50<y<60
Age of the youngest of them = d = 165 – 142 = 23 According to Santhosh father y<57
years The value satisfying all the above conditions are
55, 56 and 57
Required average = 56 kg
24. Solution (3) = 27 – 15
Let the numbers be x, x+2, x+4, x+6, x+8 and = 12 years
x+10 Hence the age of the new girl is 12 years
Then, (x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 + x+8 + x+10) / 6 =
41 29. Solution (4)
6x + 30 = 246 The number of males or females is not mentioned
6x = 246 – 30 in the question. The data is inadequate to answer
6x = 216 the question. So it can’t be determined
X = 216 / 6
X= 36 30. Solution (3)
Therefore largest number = x+10 = 36+10 Total runs of 15 innings = 22*15=330 runs
Largest number = 46 Suppose he needs a score of x in 16th innings,
Then average in 16th innings = (330+x) /16
25. Solution (4) (330+x) /16 = 26
We have (x+x+1+x+2+x+3+X+4) / 5 = 24 330+x = 16*26
5x +10 = 24*5 330+x = 416
5x +10 = 120 X = 416-330
5x = 110 X = 86
X = 110 / 5 He needs a score of 86 runs in 16th innings
X= 22
So the numbers are 22, 23, 24, 25 & 26 31. Solution (2)
Required average = (25+26) /2 Let the number of family members be x.
=51/2 Therefore, the total weight = xy
=25.5 Equation in the 1st scenario:
Therefore average of last 2 observations is 25.5 (x + 1) (y + 1) = xy + 30
xy + x + y + 1 = xy + 30
26. Solution (1) x + y = 29 .....(i)
Present age of Rajesh & Prasanth = (21*2 + 3*2) Equation in the 2nd scenario:
=42+6 (x + 1) (y - 1) = xy + 18
=48 yrs xy + y - x - 1 = xy + 18
Present age of Rajesh, Prasanth & Gokul = 27*3 y - x = 19 ....(ii)
=81 yrs Solving equations (i) and (ii), we get
Gokul’s age = 81 – 48 = 33 yrs 2y = 48, Therefore, y = 24.
Hence, option 2 is correct.
27. Solution (3)
Required average = [(35*8) – (32*5)]/ 3 32. Solution (2)

= 120/ 3 = (4 × 2570 + 3 × 2490 + 5 × 3030) + 5320
= 40 = (10280 + 7470 + 15150) + 5320
The average percent marks of candidates of group = 32900 + 5320 = 38220
Q is 40. 38220
∴ Required average monthly income =

Hence, option 3 is correct. Total average of first 4 days = 4 × 25 = 100
Total average of last 4 days = 4 × 25.5 = 102
34. Solution (3) Total average of 7 days = 7 × 25.2 = 176.4
A + B = 2 × 20 = 40 yr Temperature 4th day's = 100 + 102 – 176.4 = 25.6
B + C = 2 × 19 = 38 yr Hence, option 4 is correct.
C + A = 2 × 21 = 42 yr
36. Solution (3)
On adding all three, Total number of marks = 88 × 6 = 528
2 (A + B + C) = 40 + 38 + 42 = 120 Now, 528 – 86 + 68 = 510
510
⇒ A + B + C = 60 Required average = = 85

Hints & Solutions
(x + 2000)/(2x + 8000) = 5500/16500 Capital ratio of P and Q = 80000 * 36 : 10000 * 24
2x + 8000 = 3x + 6000 = 12: 1
x = 2000 Profit gained by P = 12/13 * 39000 = Rs.36000
Profit gained by Q = 1/13 * 39000 = Rs.3000
2. Solution (1) Required difference = 36000 – 3000 = Rs.33000
Profit ratio of A and B = (5000 * 5 + 6000 *
7):(9000 * 5 + 8000 * 7) 9. Solution (4)
= 67000:101000 Remo’s profit/ Saran’s profit = 3/4
=67:101 => 3/4= 12/x
Required Difference = (101 – 67)/168 * 8400 => x = 16 months
= Rs.1700
10. Solution (1)
3. Solution (2) If investments are in the ratio a: b: c and profits in
Profit ratio of A, B and C = (3 * 1): (8 * 2): (1 * 3) the ratio p: q: r, then the ratio of time is p/a : q/b:
= 3: 16: 3 r/c.
Total profit share = 22/3 * 1800 = Rs.13200 Ratio of time = 7/4 : 4/5 : 6/6
= 35: 16: 20
4. Solution (3)
Profit ratio of A, B and C = (4500 * 12): (5000 * 8): 11. Solution (3)
(4800 * 8) Profit share of A, B and C=6000*12:
= 135: 100: 96 (3200*8+4800*4): (4800*8+4400*4)
C’s profit share = (96/331) * 16550 =180:112:140
= Rs.4800 =45:28:35
Profit share of C=2160*35/108=Rs.700
5. Solution (4)
Profit ratio of A, B and C 12. Solution (3)
= (1000 * 4 + 1200 * 8): (1500 * 4 + 1100 * 8): (8 * 15)/(7 * x) = 100/140
(1200 * 8 + 1100 * 4) 7x = 8 * 3 * 7
= 13600: 14800: 14000 x = 24 months
= 34: 37: 35
C’s profit share = 35/106 * 5300 = Rs.1750 13. Solution (3)
Profit share of B and C=5400: 4800=9:8
6. Solution (3) Profit share of B and C=4000*17/8=8500
Profit ratio of A and B = (4500 * 12): (x * 8) Profit share of A=11500-8500=3000
= 6750: x
6750/(x + 6750) = 9000/17000 14. Solution (4)
9x + 6750 * 9 = 17 * 6750 Investment ratio of A, B and C=x*12: (x+400)*12:
9x = 54000 (x+1400)*6
x = 6000 =2x: 2x+800: x+1400
2x/(2x+800)=7/8
7. Solution (5) 16x=14x+5600
Profit ratio of A, B and C = 4000 * 12:6000 * x=2800
6:4500 * 6 Investment of C=2800+1400=Rs.4200
= 16:12:9
C’s profit share = 9/37 * 18500 = Rs.4500
Ratio of the investment of A, B and Hari’s capital = Rs.x
C=3500*12:2100*12:4000*x (9000 * 12)/(8 * x) = ¾
=105:63:10x => x = Rs.18000
Profit share of A=Rs.3000
Profit share of B=3000*63/105=Rs.1800 22. Solution (4)
Profit share of C=6800-3000-1800=Rs.2000 Required ratio = (7000 * 12):(9400 * 7):(8600 * 7)
10x=63*2000/1800 = 60: 47: 43
x=7 Profit of R = 15000 * 43/150 = Rs.4300

(3500*12)/(4800*(12-x))=7/4 (12000 * 36): (6000 * (36 – n)) = 5: 2
35/(12-x)=7 => 144 = 180 -5n
(12-x)=5 => n = 7.2 months

Profit ratio of A, B and C = (4/9 * 4 + (4/9 * 125/100 Ratio of investment of X, Y and Z is = 35 : 7a : 10a
* 8)):(4/7 * 4 + (4/7 * 120/100 * 8)):(1/5 * 12) So, the profit sharing ratio of X, Y and Z is = 35 ×
= 56/9:54.4/7:12/5 8 : 7a × 6 : 10a × 12
= 1960:2448:756 = 140 : 21a : 60a
Profit share of B = 2448/5164 * 38730 Then, according to the question,
= Rs.18360 140/(140 + 21a + 60a) = 700/3130
140/(140 + 81a) = 70/313
18. Solution (5) 43,820 = 9800 + 5670a
Profit ratio of A, B and C = (12000 * 7 + 11200 * 5670a = 43,820 – 9800
5):13000 * 12:x * 5 5670a = 34,020
= 140000:156000:5x a=6
156000/(140000 + 156000 + 5x) = 7800/22000
x = 28800 25. Solution (1)
Profit ratio of A: B: C = (2400 * 12): (4200 * 12):
19. Solution (1) (3800 * 6)
Ratio of the Profit share of A, B and C = ((x + 1000) = 24: 42: 19
* 1 + (x + 1000 – 3000) * 1):((x + 2000) * 1 + (x + C’s profit share = 19/85 * 21250
2000 – 2000) * 1):(x * 1 + (x + 5000) * 1) = Rs.4750
= (2x – 1000):(2x + 2000):(2x + 5000)
(2x – 1000)/(6x + 6000) = 1200/4800 26. Solution (4)
6x + 6000 = 8x – 4000 Profit ratio of Mithun, Nirmal and Divya = 8000 *
2x = 10000 12:12000 * 12:14000 * 6
x = 5000 = 96:144:84
= 8:12:7
20. Solution (3) Profit share of Mithun = 8/27 * 20250
Profit ratio of A and B = (1410 – 600):600 = = Rs.6000
810:600
= 27:20
(x * 12)/((x + 400) * 8) = 27/20
9x + 3600 = 10x
x = 3600
Profit ratio of A, B and C = (2x * 1 + (2x + 4800) * Profit ratio of A, B and C = 2 * 8:3 * 10:6 * 4
1):(3x * 1 + (3x + 3900)):(6x * 1 + (6x + 5600) * 1) = 16:30:24
= 4x + 4800:6x + 3900:12x + 5600 = 8:15:12
Profit share of B = ((6x + 3900)/(22x + 14300)) * Total profit = 35/4 * 4000 = 35000
33000
= 3(2x + 1300)/11(2x + 1300) * 33000 30. Solution (1)
= 9000 Profit ratio of A, B and C = (13000 * 4 + 16000 *
8):(16000 * 12):(15000 * 8 + 12000 * 4)
28. Solution (2) = 180:192:168
P: Q = (2000 * 4 + 1.1 * 2000 * 8): (3800 * 4 + 1.5 = 15:16:14
* 3800 * 8) Profit share of C = 14/45 * 36000
= 8: 19 = Rs.11200

Hints & Solutions
1. Solution (3)
Speed of the boat = x 4. Solution (1)
Speed of the car = 1020/17 = 60 Km/h
(150/(x – 20))/(150/(x + 20)) = 5/1
Speed of the bus = 60 x 80/100 = 48 Km/h
150/(x – 20) = 5 * 150/(x + 20)
Speed of the train = 48 + 32 = 80 Km/h
5x – 100 = x + 20
Required ratio = 60 x 20: 25 x 80
4x = 120
= 1200: 2000
x = 30 kmph
= 3: 5

Distance travelled by Arav in 3 hours = 4 * 3 = Time taken by the man to cover 240 Km by
12 hours train = 240/48 = 5 hours
Distance travelled by Ravi in 3 hours = 7 * 3 = Time taken by the man to cover 60 Km by bus
21 hours = 60/12 = 5 hours
Distance between both = 21 – 12 = 9 km Time taken by the man to cover 20 Km by

bicycle = 20/5 = 4 hours
New speed of Arav = 4 * 2 = 8 kmph
We know that
New speed of Ravi = 7 – 2 = 5 kmph
Average speed = Total distance/Total time
Relative speed = 8 – 5 = 3 kmph
= (240 + 60 + 20)/(5 + 5 + 4)
Total time = 3 + 9/3 = 6 hours
= 320/14
3. Solution (2) = 22.85 Km/h

Speed of downstream = 24 + 16 = 40 km/hr
Speed of upstream = 24 – 16 = 8 km/hr 6. Solution (5)

W + R = 7 ½ = (15/2) hours
Let the distance travelled be x,
W + W = 37/4
(x/40) + (x/8) = 24
2W = 37/4
= > x = 160 km
W = (37/8) hours
Total distance covered by a man in the whole
journey = 160*2 = 320 km R = (15/2) – (37/8) = (23/8) hours
Time taken by the man to ride both the ways,

= R + R = 2R = (23/8) * 2 = 23/4 2x/40 + x/30 = 5
= 5 (¾) hours 6x + 4x = 120 * 5
x = 60
7. Solution (1)
Distance between Chennai and Bangalore Total distance = 3 * 60 = 180 km
= 400 km 10. Solution (2)

Distance=speed * time
Speed of bike = 60 kmph
Distance=(20 * 25 * 15/60)/5
Distance covers by bus = 400 * 30/100
=25 km
= 120 km
Speed of bus = 120/3 = 40 kmph 11. Solution (4)

Speed of Anju = 5 kmph, speed of Rani
Speed of train = 5/4 * 40 = 50 kmph = 45 kmph
Distance between them = 320 km
Distance covered by train = 30/100 * 400 Relative speed = 45 + 5 = 50 kmph
Time taken =320/50= 6.4 hours
= 120 km They start at 6 am. So, they will meet at 12:24
Time taken by train = 120/50 = 2.4 hours pm.

8. Solution (3)
Total time taken by him = 5 hours 15 min
12. Solution (2)
= 5 15/60 = 5 1/4 hours Ashwini and Alpana complete one round in 12
seconds and 16 seconds respectively.
T = D/S Speeds of Ashwini and Alpana are 960/12 and
960/16 i.e. 80 m/s and 60 m/s respectively.
(x/4)/40 + (3x/4)/60 = 5 1/4 Relative speed of Ashwini with respect to
Alpana = (80 – 60) m/s = 20 m/s
x/40 + 3x/60 = (21/4)*4 Hence, Ashwini meets Alpana after every
960/20 = 48 seconds
(3x + 6x)/120 = 21 To complete 14.4 km, number of rounds
required =144/0.96= 15
9x = 21*120 Since Ashwini is faster, she will win the race
and therefore race time = 15 × 12 = 180 seconds
x = (21*120)/9
Since both of them meet each other after every
x = 280 km 48 seconds, after the start, Ashwini will meet
Alpana 3 times during the race.
9. Solution (3) Time when both of them will meet for the last
Distance = speed * time time = 48 × 3 = 144 seconds
Total distance = 2x + x = 3x 13. Solution (5)

Let us say Lewis meets John after ‘t’ seconds ⇒ y =x/30+1/4..............(ii)
he starts from the starting point. Speeds of So, equating eq. (i) and eq. (ii), we get,
Lewis and John are 5 m/s and 2.5 m/s. X/20–1/2=x/40+1/4
t =1000/5 – 2.5 = 400 seconds x = 30
Distance travelled by Lewis when meets John The distance between his home and business
for the first time = 2000m i.e., after 2 complete place = 30 km

14. Solution (3) was respectively 4: 3 and the speed of the truck
Let the boy catch the bus after‘t’ seconds ‘Z’ was 60 km/h.
Speed of the boy = 20 km/hr So, the speed of truck ‘X’ = 60 ×4/3
→20 × 5/18m/s =50/9m/s = 80 km/h.
Speed of the bus = 3 m/s As, the both trucks were moving towards each
The time taken by the boy to catch the bus other, the relative speed will be = (80 + 60)
=460/50/9 – 3 km/h = 140km/hr.
→460 × 9/50 – 27= 180 seconds The two trucks meet each other in
= 490 /140= 3.5 hours = 210 minutes.

Time taken by A to complete one round of the Let speed of the horse be x km/h.
circular field Speed of the tiger =3x/2km/h
=150/2= 75 minutes Now, according to the question,
Time taken by B to complete one round of the ⇒75/x–75/3x/2=125/10 × 60
circular field =150/2.5= 60 minutes ⇒75/x–50/x=5/ 24
Time taken by C to complete one round of the ⇒ x =25 × 24/5= 120

(U and V are speeds)
16. Solution (3)
Avg speed = (2 × 20 × 15) / 35 =120/7km/hr
Let the distance between Devesh’s business Distance travelled by bus in 2 4/5 hour at
place and home be x km and usual time
120/7km/hr
required to reach the business place be y hours.
Having an average speed of 20 km/h, he got (120/7) ×14/5= 48 km
late by 30 min.
So, we can write, 20. Solution (2)
x/20= y +30/60 Speed of Car A = 2X
⇒ y =x/20–/21..............(i) Speed of Car B = X
However with a speed of 40 km/h, he reaches Distance covered by Car A from 7 am to
his office in 15 min earlier. 9 am = 2 × 2X = 4X
We can wrote again, Relative Speed = 2X + X = 3X
x/40= y –/6015 Distance = 500 – 4X
Time =Distance/speed=500 – 4X/ 3X It means, they meet each other after 12 hours
Distance covered by A =500 – 4X/3X × 2X
We need to calculate the distance between the
= 1000 – 8X/ 3
school and the college
Now A reaches point Q at 1 pm.
He covered the next distance with X kmph. The distance travelled by B in 12 hours @ 10
He total took 6 hours. km per hour = 12 × 10 = 120 km
12X + 1000 – 8X + 12X – 500 + 4X = 1500
20X = 1000
X = 50 24. Solution (2)
Speed of Car A = 2X = 100 Distance = 2210 km
Let Original speed = k, so the return speed = k
+8
Time difference between the two journeys = 20
21. Solution (2)
hrs
Let the speed = a km per hr
When he increases his speed by 4 km per hour 2210/k–2210/ k + 8= 20
New speed = a + 4 km per hour k2 + 8k – 884 = 0
He stops for 15 minutes on a tea shop then he Solving we get k = 26 km/h
reaches 5 minutes earlier it means if he had not
stopped for 15 minutes then he would have
reached 15 + 5 = 20 minutes earlier @ a + 4 km 25. Solution (1)
per hour When Ashok and Bimal together cover
We know that, time =distance/speed 450 m distance, they meet and out of this
40/a–40/ a + 4=20/60 Ashok covers :
40 × 3(a + 4 – a) = a (a + 4) =12/12 + 18× 450 = 180
40 × 3 × 4 = 480 = a (a + 4) Bimal covers 450 – 180 = 270 m.
By solving, a = 20 km per hour So they meet, Bimal covers 270 m.
Value of x =distance/speed=40/20 When Bimal covers 3240 meters, they would
= 2 hours have meet
3240/270= 12 times
22. Solution (2)
The distance between Delhi and Patna
= 500 km 26. Solution (2)
60% of 500 = 300
Let the original time taken by Pankaj to reach
At 25 km per hour he can cover 300 km or late
point B from point A = x hours
by 4 hours
Then, original time taken by Pratik to reach
Therefore, the scheduled time = 12 + 4
point B from point A = (x – 1.5) hours
= 16 hours
Also
Let after t hours he doubled his speed then
Let original speed of Pratik = y km/h
25 × t + 50 × (16 – t) = 500
nd, y × (x – 1.5) = (y – 6) × (x – 1)
25t = 50 × 6
So, 45 × x = y × (x – 1.5)
T = 12 hours
y × (x – 1.5) = (y – 6) × (x – 1)
yx – 1.5y = yx – 6x – y + 6
23. Solution (3) 0.5y = 6x – 6
The relative speed of A and B = 12 – 10 y = 12x – 12
= 2 km per hour Therefore, 45 × x = (12x – 12) × (x – 1.5)
Time =distance/ speed=24/2= 12 hours 45x = 12x2 – 12x – 18x + 18
12x2 – 75x + 18 = 0 30. Solution (4)
4x2 – 25x + 6 = 0 The speed of Tom = 18 km per hour
4x2 – 24x – x + 6 = 0 = 18 × 5/18= 5 meters per second
4x (x – 6) – 1 (x – 6) = 0
(4x – 1) (x – 6) = 0 The time taken by Tom to run 500 meters
x =1/4 , 6 =500/5= 100 sec
So, x = 6
Therefore, speed of Pratik = 12x – 12 If Tom gives start of 50 meters then Jerry will
run for 500 – 50 = 450 meters
= 60 km/hr But still Tom beats Jerry by 12.5 meters it
means Jerry will take 100 + 12.5 = 112.5
seconds to run 450 meters
27. Solution (2)
The speed of Jerry =450/112.4
When A reaches point R which is in the middle = 4 meters per sec
of the track, B starts from point P towards Q =4 × 18/5= 14.4 km per hour
The distance covered after point that will be in
the ratio of their speeds
31. Solution (1)
Therefore,RQ + QS/ PS= 9 : 3
Let original time be ‘T’
RQ + QS + PS = 12 units
And normal speed be ‘X’ km/hr
RQ + QS + PS =3/4(2 × PQ)
Normally takes
So, PQ = 8 units and as PS = 3 units, therefore
X × T = 160 ……(i)
QS = 5 units
After reduced speed
QS = 155m = 5 units → 1 unit = 31 m 36
PQ = 8 units = 8 × 31 = 248 m (X– 40) × (T + ) = 160 ……(ii)
60
Solving (i) and (ii)
we get, T = 1.8 hours
28. Solution (1)
Total Distance = 36 × 2.5 = 90km
Distance covered by bus = 90 – 13 = 77 km 32. Solution (4)
Time taken by bus to cover the journey of 77 840
Speed of cab = = 105 km/h
km 8
=77/55 = 1.4 hr 60
Since Anurag walked 13 km in (2.5 – 1.4) Speed of taxi = 100 × 105 = 63 km/h
= 1.1 hr 12
The average walked speed by anurag =13/1.1= ∴ speed of bike = × 63 = 108 km/h
7
11.8 kmph
∴ Distance travelled by bike in 9 hours
29. Solution (5) = 108 × 9 = 972 km
Let speed of train and bus be 18x and 3x
respectively. 33. Solution (1)
Speed of bus = 480/12 = 40 km/hr
Length of race track = speed × time
As speed of bus is five ninths the speed of train 40 11
so, = 27 × (3 + 60) = 27 × 3 = 99 km
99
Speed of train =9/5×480/12= 72 km/hr Speed of Amar = 15 = 44 km/hr.
(2 + )
Speed of car = 72 ×3/18= 12 km/hr 60
Distance covered by car in 5 hrs = 12 × 5

1000 Let speed of Raman was 𝑥 km/hr.
Required speed = 24 = 2.75 km/hr
60
Thus, speed of Samar = 𝑥 + 16 km/hr
So, by the time they met, Samar has travelled
36. Solution (4)
(240 + 48) km while Raman has travelled (240
Speed of Amit is half of the speed of Ram
– 48) km.
So, Amit take twice time
Time taken by slower runner = 2 × 25 Or, Samar has travelled 96 km more than

Since Samar has a margin of 96 km per hour
37. Solution (2) i.e. he travelled 16 km more every hour, so it

Hints & Solutions
Speed of the train A=72*5/18=20 m/sec Length of the train=x
Length of the train A=20*18=360 m (x+420)=90*5/18*36
Length of the train B=360 m x=480 m
(20+x)=(360+360)/20 Speed of the train is decreased by
(20+x)=36 16.67%=90*5/6=75 m/s
x=16 m/sec Required time=(480+240)/75=720/75=9.6 seconds

Length of train A + 280 = 72 * 5/18 * 38 Length of train = (24 + 24 * 2) * 5/18 * 18
Length of train A = 480 m = 360 m
Length of train B = 480 – 80 = 400 m Required time = (360 + 140)/(24 * 2) * 5/18
400 + 100 = Speed of train B * 5/18 * 30 = 37.5 seconds
Speed of train B = 60 kmph
Required difference = 72 – 60 = 12 kmph 8. Solution (4)
Speed of train A = 3x
3. Solution (4) Speed of train B = 400/300 * 3x = 4x
Length of train = x Length of train A = y
Speed of train = y Length of train B = z
x + 360 = y * 5/18 * 32 y = 3x * 5/18 * 21.6
9x + 3240 = 80y y = 18x
x = y * 5/18 * 17.6 y + z = (4x – 3x) * 5/18 * 108
9x = 44y y + z = 30x
44y + 3240 = 80y z = 30x – 18x = 12x
y = 90 kmph Required time = 12x/4x * 5/18 = 10.8 seconds

Speed of train A = 4x Speed of train A=50*4/5=40 kmph
Speed of train B = 4x * 125/100 = 5x Relative speed=40+50=90 kmph
Length of train A = y Time taken by both trains A and B to cross each
y = 4x * 5/18 * 18 other=x
y = 20x 160+240=90*5/18*x
20x + 240 = (5x – 4x) * 5/18 * 120 400*18/5*1/90=x
60x + 240 * 3 = 100x x=16 seconds
x = 18
Length of train A = 18 * 20 = 360 m 10. Solution (4)
Length of train A=4x
5. Solution (3) Length of train B=5x
Length of train = x Let speed of train A =y
Speed of train = y 4x=y*5/18*24
x = y * 5/18 * 20.25 3x=5y
x = 5.625y 4x+5x=(y+54)*5/18*21.6
x + 150 = y * 5/18 * 27 3x=(2y+54*2)
2x + 300 = 15y 3x=2y+108
5.625y * 2 + 300 = 15y y=36 kmph
y = 80 kmph
Length of the train = x Length of train A = train B = x
Speed of train = y Speed of train A = y
x + 400 = y * 5/18 * 42 Distance = speed * time
3x + 1200 = 35y x = y * 5/18 * 8
x = (y + 20) * 5/18 * 13.5 9x = 20y
2x = 7.5y + 150 2x = (y + 60) * 5/18 * 9.6
2 * ((35y – 1200)/3) = 7.5y + 150 12x = 16y + 960
70y – 2400 = 22.5y + 450 12x = 16 * (9x/20) + 960
47.5y = 2850
60x = 36x + 4800
y = 60 km/hr
24x = 4800
x = 200 m
12. Solution (2)
Length of train A = 4x
Length of train B = 5x
17. Solution (2)
Speed of train A = 3y
Speed of train B = 4y Length of the train =x
9x = (4y – 3y) * 5/18 * 81 Length of platform = y
2x = y * 5, 4x = 3y * 5/18 * 12 x = 60 * 5/18 * 6
4x = 10y, 2x = 5y x = 100
We cannot find the answer. 100 + y = 60 * 5/18 * 18
y = 200 m
13. Solution (3)
The speed is equal. So,
(T.L + 300) / 24 = T.L / 8 18. Solution (3)
T.L + 300 = 3T.L Let the train length be x meter,
2T.L = 300, T.L = 150 The speed is equal while crossing the tunnel and
The length of train = 150 m electronic pole.
14. Solution (2) (x + 300)/15 = (x/6)
= Speed * Time 2x + 600 = 5x
Length of the train = x 5x – 2x = 600
Speed of train = y 3x = 600
x + 300 = y * 5/18 * 36
x = 200
x + 300 = 10y = y * 5/18 * 18
The length of train = 200 m
x = 5y, x + 300 = 2x
x = 300 m

15. Solution (4)
The length of Train A = (1/2)* The length of Train
Length of train A = x
Length of train B = x + 100 B
Speed of train A = y The length of Train A: The length of Train B = 1: 2
2x + 100 = (y + 60) * 5/18 * 6 (x, 2x)
6x + 300 = 5y + 300 Speed of Train A = x/25
6x = 5y Speed of Train B = 2x/40 = x/20
x = y * 5/18 * 8 Required ratio = (x/25): (x/20) = 4: 5
We cannot be find the answer.
Distance = speed * time Length of train = (24 + 24 * 2) * 5/18 * 18
Speed of train A = x = 360 m
Speed of train B = y Required time = (360 + 140)/(24 * 2) * 5/18
350 = x * 5/18 * 18 = 37.5 seconds
x = 70 kmph
250 = y * 5/18 * 12 26. Solution (1)
750 = 10y Length of train = x
y = 75 kmph Speed of train = y
Difference = 75 – 70 = 5 kmph x = y * 5/18 * 18
x = 5y
21. Solution (3) x + 240 = y * 5/18 * 30
Length of train = x 3x + 240 * 3 = 25y
Speed of train = y 3x + 240 * 3 = 5x
x = y * 5/18 * 20.25 x = 360
x = 5.625y y = 360/5 = 72 kmph
x + 150 = y * 5/18 * 27 Required time = (360 + 200)/(72 + 48) * 5/18
2x + 300 = 15y = 16.8 seconds
5.625y * 2 + 300 = 15y
y = 80 kmph 27. Solution (1)
Length of train A=x
22. Solution (2) (x+540)/60=15
Speed of train B = 4x x=360 m
Speed of train A = 5x Length of train B=360*5/6=300 m
490 * 2 = (5x – 4x) * 5/18 * 196 Required time=(300+540)/35=840/35=24 seconds
x = 18
Speed of train B = 18 * 4 = 72 kmph 28. Solution (3)
Speed of train A = 5x
23. Solution (3) Speed of train B = 6x
Length of train A = 4x * 5/18 * 7.2 = 8x Speed of train A= 400/24 = 16.67 m/s
8x + 8x + 120 = x * 5/18 * 72 5x = 16.67, x= 3.33
16x + 120 = 20x Speed of train B = 6x = 20m/s
x = 30 Length of train B = 20* 15 = 300 m
Length of train B = 8 * 30 + 120 = 360 m
29. Solution (4)
Length of train A = x
24. Solution (4) Length of train B = y
Length of train A=4x Speed of train A = z
Length of train B=5x Speed of train B = z + 20
Let speed of train A =y x = z * 5/18 * 12
4x=y*5/18*24 3x = 10z
3x=5y x + 100 = z * 5/18 * 16
4x+5x=(y+54)*5/18*21.6 9x + 900 = 40z
3x=(2y+54*2) 9x + 900 = 12x, x = 300
3x=2y+108 z = 900/10 = 90 kmph
y=36 kmph 300 + y = (90 + 110) * 5/18 * 9
y = 200 meters
Length of train A + 200 Speed of train A = 600/36 * 18/5= 60 kmph
= x * 5/18 * 27 = 7.5x Length of train B= 600/2 = 300
Length of train A + 300 (Speed of train B + 60) * 5/18 =(600+300)/36
= x * 5/18 * 31.5 = 8.75x (Speed of train B + 60) * 5/18 = 900/36
7.5x – 200 = 8.75x – 300 Speed of train B = 30 kmph
100 = 1.25x Length of train = x
x = 80 Speed of train = y
Length of train A x = y * 5/18 * 18
= 7.5 * 80 – 200 = 400 m x = 5y
(x + 125) = y * 5/18 * 36
31. Solution (1) x + 125 = 10y
Speed of train = 45 km/hr = 45 × (5/18) 5y + 125 = 10y
= 12.5 m/sec y = 25 kmph
Now, time taken to cross the platform Quantity I > quantity II
= sum of lengths of train and platform/speed of
train 34. Solution (3)
⇒ 20 = (length of train + 90)/12.5 Let take, Length of train B = 2x
⇒ Length of train = (20 × 12.5) - 90 Length of train A = 2x * 150/100 = 3x
= 250 - 90 = 160 m Speed of train A = y
Time taken to cross 140 m long platform Speed = Length/Time
= (160 + 140)/12.5 = 300/12.5 = 24 sec. Y = 3x/18
⇒ Quantity I = 24 sec. 3x = y * 5/18 * 18
3x = 5y
Speed of train = length of train/time taken to cross
standing man = 150/20 = 7.5 m/sec. 3x + 2x = (y + 60) * 5/18 * 15
30x = 25y + 60 * 25
Speed of running man = 9 km/hr
30x = 15x + 60 * 25
= 9 × (5/18) = 2.5 m/sec.
x = 100
As the man is running in opposite direction,
Relative speed of train w.r.t. man Length of train A = 3 * 100 = 300 m
Speed of the car = 45 km/hr and speed of the
= 7.5 + 2.5 = 10 m/sec.
train = 75 km/hr
Time taken to cross the running man
Length = Speed * Time
= length of train/relative speed = 150/10 = 15 sec.
Length of train A = (75 + 45)* 5/18 * 13.5
⇒ Quantity II = 15 sec.
Length of train A= 450 m
32. Solution (2)
Quantity I < quantity II
Speed in the first part = 158/(3 + 18/60) = 47.88
km/hr.
35. Solution (1)
The average speed of two speeds ‘x’ km/hr and ‘y’
Relative speed = (100+60) km/hr
km/hr = 2xy/(x + y) km/hr
x + 250 = 400 x = 150 metres
Required average speed = (2 × 45 × 47.88)/(45 +
Quantity I: The length of other train is 150 m.
47.88) = 46.4 km/hr.
Quantity II: The length of the first train shrinks by
⇒ Quantity I = 46.4 km/hr
3/4th of that of the other train Therefore, 3/4 of
Distance travelled = 480 km 150 = 112.5 m
Time travelled = 10 + (45/60) - (30/60) = 10.25 hrs. Now, length of the first train = 250 - 112.5 = 137.5
Average speed = 480/10.25 = 46.8 km/hr m
⇒ Quantity II = 46.8 km/hr Quantity I > Quantity II
Quantity I < Quantity II
Let the speed of the car = x km per hr Quantity I:
The speed of the train = x + 5 km/hr Average speed=2*12*15/12+15
If they travel in opposite direction then the relative =13 1/3
speed = (x + x + 5) km per hr Distance=13 1/3*15=200 km
2x + 5 = 20 x = 7.5 km per hour Quantity II: Speed difference for 1 hour
Quantity I : The speed of the train = x + 5 = 12.5 = 40 – 30 = 10 Km/h
km per hr Therefore, In 1 hour faster bus will cover 10 km
Quantity II=150%of 7.5=11.25 more than slower one Hence to cover 30 km more
Quantity: I > Quantity : II
it will take 3 hours.
Distance= Relative Speed × Time D

= (30 + 40) × 3 = 210 km
Quantity I: The length of the train = 15 × 16 = 240
Quantity II > Quantity I

Let the length of the platform = y meters
then (240 + y) = 20 × 24 = 480 40. Solution (1)
y = 480 – 240 = 240 meters Case 1, When A goes for 500 meters B goes for 450
Quantity : I = Quantity : II meters A : B = 500 : 450 = 10 : 9
When B goes for 1000 meters, C goes for 750
38. Solution (1) meters B : C = 1000 : 750 = 4 : 3
Speed of train in m/s=108*5/18=30m/s A : B : C = 40 : 36 : 27
Time taken to cross the tunnel=300+150/30=15 Quantity I: When A travels 40x meters C travels

Quantity II : When A travels 40 × 20 = 800 meters
Speed of train A=360/18=20m/s C will travel 27 × 20 = 540 meters

Hints & Solutions

1. Solution => 5 kmph
Downstream speed = 150/6 = 25 kmph Required ratio = 20:5
Upstream speed = 120/8 = 15 kmph = 4:1
Speed of the boat in still water = 1/2(downstream 2. Solution
speed + upstream speed) Downstream speed = 2x + 3x = 5x
=> 1/2(25 + 15) = 20 kmph Upstream speed = 3x – 2x = x
Speed of stream=1/2 (downstream speed – upstream 120/5x + 120/x = 24
speed) (120 + 600)/5x = 24
=> 1/2 (25 – 15) 720 = 120x
x=6 x = (39 * 50 * 28) / 78 = 700 km
Speed of the boat in still water = 6 * 3 = 18 kmph The distance between A to B = 700 km
3. Solution 8. Solution
Let the speed of the boat in still water be x km/hr Upstream speed = 80/16 = 5 kmph
Speed of the current= x/4 Downstream speed = 280/8 = 35 kmph
Downstream speed = x + x/4= 5x/4 Speed of the boat = (35 + 5)/2 = 20 kmph
Downstream speed in km/hr = 16*60/28= 30 km/hr Speed of stream = (35 – 5)/2 = 15 kmph
So, After increasing the boat = 20 + 5 = 25 kmph
5x/4= 30 Stream speed = 15 + 3 = 18 kmph
x = 24 km/hr Required time = 301/(25 + 18) + 301/(25 – 18) = 7 +
Distance in 20 minutes= 24*20/60= 8 km 43 = 50 hours
Distance = speed * time Let, speed of the boat in still water = a Km/h
120/4x – 120/6x = 2 And speed of the stream = b Km/h
(30 – 20)/x = 2 (a + b) – (a – b) = 4
10 = 2x => a + b – a + b = 4
=>x=5 => 2b = 4
Speed of the boat in still water = 5 * 5 = 25 kmph => b = 4/2
5. Solution => b = 2 Km/h
Let the total distance be x, a = 12 Km/h
Speed of downstream = 20 + 12 = 32 km/hr Time taken by the boat to go 210 Km downstream
Speed of upstream = 20 – 12 = 8 km/hr = 210/(12 + 2) = 210/14 = 15 hours
According to the question, Time taken by the boat to go 120 Km upstream
12 = (x/8) – (x/32) = 120/(12 – 2) = 120/10
12 = (4x – x)/32 = 12 hours
(12 * 32) = 3x Required percentage = 15/12 x 100 = 125%
x = (12 * 32) / 3 = 128 km 10. Solution
The total distance travelled by boat = 128 km Speed of the boat = a km/hr = (1+ 50/300) x speed of
6. Solution the car
Speed of the boat A in still water = 3 * 12 = 36 kmph = 7/6 x 120/5
Speed of the boat B in still water = 2 * 12 = 24 kmph = 28 km/hr
Downstream Speed of the boat A = 40 kmph Speed of the stream = b km/hr
Stream speed = 40 – 36 = 4 kmph ATQ,
Upstream speed of boat B = 24 – 4 = 20 kmph 28 + b = 124/4 = 31
7. Solution b = 3 km/h
Speed of downstream = 32 + 18 = 50 km/hr 28 – 3 = D/6
Speed of upstream = 32 – 18 = 14 km/hr D = 25 x 6 = 150 km
Total time = 39 hours 11. Solution
If distance between A to B is x, then distance between Let the speed of boat in still water and speed of
B to C = x/2, stream be 5x and 2x respectively.
Time = Distance/Speed According to the question,
x / 50 + (x/2) / 14 = 39 224/4 = 5x + 2x
x / 50 + x / 28 = 39 x =32/ 8 =4
78x / (50 * 28) = 39 Required difference = 5x – 2x = 3x
3x = 24 km/hr B2 = 4C2 →B/C=2/1
12. Solution 3B/C = 6/ 1
Let the speed of boat in still water be s m/sec The ratio of speed of boat and current in 6 : 1
As the object covers 100m in 50 sec , so the distance 16. Solution
travelled by the object will be with the help of the Let the speed of boy in still water be X km/h
speed of the stream only. And the speed of current is given = 5 km/h
Speed of stream =100/50= 2 m/s Downstream speed = (X + 5) km/h
Given that, Upstream speed = (X – 5) km/h
(s – 2) = (s + 2) – 50 (s + 2)/100 Let time be ‘t’ hours.
(s – 2) = (s + 2)(1 – 1/2) ⇒(X + 5) t/3= (X – 5) t
s = 6 m/sec ⇒ X + 5 = 3X – 15
s =6 × 18/5= 108/5km/hr ⇒ 2X = 20
Distance covered by the boat in still water in 5 hours= ⇒ X = 10 km/h
108 ×5/5= 108 km Downstream speed = 10 + 5 = 15 km/h
13. Solution Upstream speed = 10 – 5 = 5 km/h
In still water, the speed of steamer =12000/25 = 480 17. Solution
meter per minute = 8 meters per second Let speed of man in still water = x km/h
Let the speed of stream = v m/sec Speed of current = y km/h
In upstream, the speed of steamer = (8 – v) m/sec Downstream speed = (x + y) km/h
In downstream, the speed of steamer = (8 + v) m/sec Upstream speed = (x – y) km/h
According to the question, Let PQ = QR = A and PR = 2A
11250/8 – v – 11250/8 + v= 12.5 × 60 = 750 seconds 2A/ x + y = 24 …..(I)
By solving, v = 2 meters per second And A/ x – y= 16….(ii)
=2 × 18/5 = 7.2 km per hour By dividing both equations-
14. olution ⇒2A (x – y)/ A (x + y) =24/16
Let the speed of current be = c km/hr ⇒ 4x – 4y = 3x + 3y
Let the speeds of A and B in still water be 3k km/hr ⇒x/ y =7/1
and 2k km/hr Required ratio = Speed of man in still water : Speed
Upstream speed of A = (3k – c) km/hr of current ⇒ 7 : 1
Downstream speed of B = (2k + c) km/hr
Distance between A and B after 3 hrs = [3 (3k – c) + 18. Solution
3 (2k + c)] km = (9k – 3c + 6k + 3c) km = 15k km Upstream, U = Speed of boat – speed of stream
After stream becomes stationary Downstream, D = Speed of boat + speed of stream
Relative speed when both go in same direction = (3k 65/ U +130/ D= 23…..i
– 2k) km/hr = k km/hr 45/ U + 104/ D = 17…..ii
Time after which they meet = 15 k/ k = 15 hrs On solving the above two equations, we will get
15. Solution U = Speed of boat – speed of stream = 5
Let the distance be D and Speed of boat in still water D = Speed of boat + speed of stream = 13
be 3B and that of current be C Thus, Speed of boat = 9 and speed of stream = 4
D/3B + C +D/3B – C = 144 ..........eq.(i) 19. Solution
When the speed of the boat becomes 66.67% → new Let the speed of boat in upstream = 8x km/hr
boat speed = 2B And the speed of the stream = x km/hr
D/2B + C+ D/2B – C = 224 ..........eq.(ii) Speed of boat in downstream =500/20= 25 km/hr
Dividing eq. (i) by eq. (ii) Let the speed of boat in still water = p km/hr
Then, p + x = 25 km/hr ..........(i) ⇒m/32+1/2×m/8= 36
P – x = 8x , p = 9x ...........(ii) ⇒3m/32 = 36
Put the value of p in the equation (i) ⇒ m =36 × 32/3
10x = 25, x = 2.5 ⇒ m = 384 km
From the equation (ii) speed of boat in still water = 23. Solution
9x = 9 × 2.5 = 22.5 km/hr Let, the speed of boatman in still water and stream
The total distance travelled by the boat in still water speed = ‘B’ km/hr and ‘s’ km/hr respectively
in 20 hours = 450 km According to the question,
20. Solution (B + s) = 1.5 (B – s)
Let the speed of boat = b and current = c 2.5s = 0.5B
Speed downstream = b + c, Speed upstream = b – c B = 5s
Let the distance boat goes upstream = 2d and returns x + 40/ B + s + x – 40/ B – s = 20
downstream is d (x + 40) (B – s) + (x – 40) (B + s) = 20 (B + s) (B –
S down = b + c, S up = b – c s)
(b + c)/ (b – c)=9/5 B = 5s
b/c= 14/ 4 (x + 40) (4s) + (x – 40) (6s) = 20 (6s) (4s)
c = 4 km/h so, b = 14 km/h Also, x + 40/B= 12
Speed down = 14 + 4 = 18 km/h, Speed up = 14 – 4 x + 40 = 60s
= 10 km/h (x + 40) (x + 40)/15+ (x – 40) (x + 40)/10 = 8 (x +
Distance covered = 18 × 6 + 10 × 8 = 188 km 40) (x + 40)/60
21. Solution 4(x + 40)2 + 6 (x – 40) (x + 40) = 8 (x + 40)2
Sb = Speed of boat in still water, 6 (x – 40) (x + 40) = 4 (x + 40)2
Sc = speed of current 3x – 120 = 2x + 80
Time downstream/ Time upstream =2/3 3x – 2x = 120 + 80
S down/ S up =3/2 x = 200
=Sb + Sc/ Sb – Sc=3/ 2 24. Solution
Sb/ Sc =5/1 Let speed of boat in still water = 100k km/hr
Let the still water speed of boat = 5k Then downstream speed = 120k km/hr and upstream
If the still water speed decreases by 40% it becomes speed = 80k km/hr
3k 216/120k + 216/80k = 30
As the speed decreases in the ratio 5 : 3, So time taken k =3/20
will increase in the ratio 3 : 5 Speed of boat in still water = 15 km/h
Let the original time be 3t and new be 5t → 5t – 3t =
2t = 2 hrs
So, original time = 3t = 3hrs for distance of 30km 25. Solution
So speed in still water 5k =30/3= 10 km/h Let the speed of the boat be ‘5b’ kmph and that of the
Sc = 1k = 2 km/h stream be ‘b’ kmph, and the distance it travels in one
Downstream speed = 12 km/h direction is ‘y’, then
Distance covered in 5 hrs = 12 × 5 = 60 km while going downstream, we have
22. Solution y/(5b + b) = 40/60=2/3hours
Let the distance between X and Y is m km. y/6b =2/3 hours ...... (i)
Speed of boat in upstream = 20 – 12 = 8 kmph Now, it increases the speed of the boat by S%, then
Speed of boat in downstream = 20 + 12 = 32 kmph the new speed while returning back would be = (1 +S/
It takes 36 hours to complete the path. 100 ) 5b kmph
We now can write 2x2 – 5x – 88 = 0
y/{(1 + S / 100) 5b – b}=40/60 =2/3 hours ...... (ii) x = 8, –11/2
Equating (i) and (ii), we get So, speed of boat B is 8 kmph
S/100= 0.4 29. Solution
S = 40% If it goes 4 km downstream in x hours
26. Solution Downstream speed =4/x
Let the total distance was 2y km and the speed of the Upstream speed =3/x
stream was v kmph. ⇒ 60 3x + 4x/12= 35
If the time to go upstream was t hours then time to go ⇒ 60 × 7x/12= 35
downstream = (4 – t) hours ⇒ X = 1 km
It is given that time to go upstream was 2 hours more Then downstream speed = 4 km/h
than time to go downstream, so Upstream speed = 3 km/h
(4 – t) + 2 = t Speed in still water = U =4 + 3/2= 3.5 km/h
t = 3 hours Speed in stream = V =4 – 3/2= 0.5 km/h
Now, time to go upstream Required average =3.5 + 0.5/2= 2 km/h
3 =y/(4 – v) 30. Solution
12 – 3v = y ---(i) Downstream speed of boat = x + y kmph
time to go downstream Upstream speed of boat = x – y kmph
1 =y/(4 + v) According to the question,
4 + v = y ---(ii) =52/ x + y +35/ x – y= 9
Solving equation (i) & (ii) we get Let 1/ x + y=a and 1/ x – y= b
y=6 So the equation becomes,
Total distance = 2y = 2 × 6 = 12 km 52a + 35b = 9
27. Solution 52a = 9 – 35b
the speed of the boat in still water is 66.66% more Also given that
than that of the speed of stream =78/ x + y+ 63/ x – y= 15
Let the speed of stream = x km/hr So, 78a + 63y = 15
Then speed of the boat will become = 166.66% of 702 – 2730b + 3276b = 780
x=5x/3km/hr 546b = 78
Speed in upstream =5x/3– x =2x/3km/hr .........(i) b =1/7
Speed in downstream =5x/3+ x = 8x/3km/hr .........(ii) So, x + y = 13 and x – y = 7
By solving this, So, x = 10 and y = 3
X=6 So, the value of y = 3 kmph
From the equation (i)
Speed of upstream = 2 ×6/3= 4km/hr
The total distance travelled by him in upstream in 15
hrs = 15 × 4 = 60 km
Let speed of Boat B = x kmph and speed of boat A = Let speed of boat = x kmph,
(x – 2) kmph speed of stream = y kmph
So, speed of current = ( x – 2 /3) kmph upstream speed = x – y=40/10=4
Now according to the question downstream speed = x + y=54/9=6
20 × 3/3x – 6 + x – 2 =20 × 3/3x + x – 2+1/2 equation 1 + equation 2
30x – 15 – 30x + 60/(x – 2) (2x + 1)=1/2 x = 5 speed of boat = 5 kmph
Quantity II: Quantity I: Let the speed of the boat and the speed
Let speed of boat = x kmph, of the stream be ‘3x’ km/hr
speed of stream = 1 kmph and ‘x’ km/hr respectively
downstream speed = x + 1 According to the question
45/9=x+1 420/3x+x=7
5 – 1 = x x = 4 Speed of boat = 4 kmph X=15
Quantity I > Quantity II So, the speed of the boat and the speed of the stream
32. Solution be ‘45’ km/hr
Let the speed of the motorboat in still water = u km and ‘15’ km/hr respectively So, the time taken by
per hour boat to cover 270 km while travelling upstream
and the speed of the stream = v km per hour 270/30=9 hrs
The speed of the motorboat in downstream = (u + v) Quantity II : Let the speed of the stream be ‘x’ km/hr
km per hour According to the question,
And the speed of the motorboat in upstream 4000/50=8 hrs
= (u – v) km per hour 35. Solution
According to the question, (u – v) = (100 – 75)% of Quantity I:
(u + v) = 25% of (u + v) 4u – 4v = u + v Let the speed in still water of the boat and the stream
3u = 5v speed be 8k km/hr and 5k km/hr.
u:v=5:3 So, 78/(8k + 5k) + 78/(8k - 5k) = 6.4
Quantity I: The speed of the motorboat in 6/k + 26/k = 6.4
downstream = 5x + 3x = 8x km per hour 32/k = 6.4
Req%=3x*100/8x=37.5% k=5
Quantity II: Speed of the boat in still water = 8*5 = 40 km/hr
Req%=(5-3)100/5=40% Quantity II:
quantity I < quantity II Average speed of Amrit = (42*3 + 36*2)/5 = 39.6
33. Solution km/hr
Let the speed of the motorboat in still water = 3a 36. Solution
km/hr Let, speed of boat B in still water = k Km/h
then the speed of the motorboat in stream = a km/hr => Speed of boat A in still water = k x 110/100 =
According to the question, 3a – a = 2a = 4 11k/10 Km/h
a = 2 km/hr And speed of the stream = y Km/h
the of the motorboat in still water = 3a km/hr = 6 144/(11k/10 + y) = 9
km/hr => 144 = 99k/10 + 9y
the speed of the motorboat in stream = a km/hr = 2 => 1440 = 99k + 90y
km per hour => 99k + 90y = 1440 --------- (i)
Upstream speed = 6 – 2 = 4 km/hr 75/(k - y) = 15
Downstream speed = 6 + 2 = 8 km per hour After => 5 = k – y
Solving speed for x , => k - y = 5 ----------- (ii)
12x = 560 – 80 = 480 Equation (i) - 99 x Equation (ii)
x = 40 99k + 90y - 99k + 99y = 1440 - 495
Quantity I: 40 => 189y = 945
Quantity II :distance=8*21/4=42 => y = 945/189
Quantity I < Quantity II => y = 5
34. Solution From (ii)
k-5=5 = > 8.4 km/hr
=> k = 10 Quantity I < Quantity II
Speed of boat B in still water = 10 Km/h 38. Solution
Speed of boat A in still water = 10 x 110/100 = 11 Quantity II:
Km/h Let the distance be x km,
Speed of the stream = 5 Km/h x / (16 - 4) – x / (16 + 4) = 8
Quantity I: x / 12 – x / 20 = 8
Upstream distance travelled by boat A in 12 hours = 8x / (12 * 20) = 8
(11 - 5) x 12 x = 240 km
= 6 x 12 Quantity III:
= 72 Km 200 km
Downstream distance travelled by boat B in 6 hours Quantity I > Quantity II
= (10 + 5) x 6 39. Solution
= 15 x 6 Let the speed in still water = x km/hr. Takes 20 min.
= 90 Km to row 12 km upstream ⇒ speed of u/s = 36 km/hr.
Quantity I < Quantity II Also, time taken for u/s is 1/3 more than for d/s.
37. Solution distance covered in d / s will be 1/3 more.
Let the time of downstream and upstream x. Hence distance covered by man for d / s in 20 min. =
Speed of downstream= 6/x km/hr 12 × (12/3) = 16km.
Speed of upstream= 4/x km/hr So speed of d / s = 48 km/hr.
48/(6/x) + 48/(4/x) = 16 x + y = 48 and x – y = 36 ⇒ x = 42 km/hr.
= > 20x=16 Let x be speed of u / s and y be the speed of d / s.
= > x= 4/5 =0.8 (16/x) + (16/y) = (28/5) and 16/(y+2) + 16/(x-2) =
Speed of downstream= 6/x = 6/0.8 =7.5 28/3
km/hr Solving these 2 equations, we get x = 4km/hr and y =
Speed of upstream= 4/x = 4/0.8 = 5 km/hr 10km/hr
The speed of the stream is, speed of boat in still water = (4+10) / 2 = 7km/hr.
= > ½ (7.5 - 5) Quantity I > Quantity II
= > 2.5/2 = 1.25 km/hr 40. Solution
Quantity II: Speed of upstream = 24 / 6 = 4 km / hr. Speed of
Speed of still water = 10 km/hr downstream = 35 / 7 = 5km / hr.
Speed of the flowing water = 4 km/hr Speed of man in still water = (4 + 5) / 2 = 4.5 km / hr.
The average speed of the boat for that Speed of boat in still water = x = 5 km/hr.
journey is, Let rate of flow of river = y km/hr. ∴ Speed of u/s =
= > Total Distance / Time 5- y and speed of d / s = 5 + y
= > 2x/ (x/(10+4) + (x/ (10-4)) 90/(5+y) + 90/(5-y) = 100 ⇒ y = 4 km/hr.
= > 2x/ (x/14 + x/6) Quantity I > Quantity II

22/7 * x * x * h2 = 150/100 * (1/3 * 22/7 * 2x * l2 – 4l – 192 = 0
2x * h1) l2 – 16l + 12l – 192 = 0
h2/h1 = 2/1 l(l – 16) + 12(l – 16) = 0
2h – h = 6 (l + 12)(l – 16) = 0
h = 6 cm l = 16 cm
sum = 6 + (2 * 6) = 18 cm Breath of the rectangle = 16 – 4 = 12 cm
Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 * (12 + 16) = 56 cm
14. Solution (4) Perimeter of the square = 56 cm
3696 = 1/3 * 22/7 * 7x * 7x * 9x Side of the square = 56/4 = 14 cm
x=2 Area of the square = 14 * 14 = 196 cm2
Radius of the cone = 7 * 2 = 14 cm
Radius of the cylinder = 14/2 = 7 cm 19. Solution (3)
Height of the cone = 9 * 2 = 18 cm Side of the square = 96/4 = 24 cm
Volume of the cylinder = 22/7 * 7 * 7 * 18 Length of the rectangle = ¾ * 24 = 18 cm
= 2772 cm2 18 * breadth = 216
Breadth of the rectangle = 12 cm
15. Solution (5) Perimeter of the rectangle = 2 * (l + b)
Length: Breadth = 7:9 = 2 * (18 + 12)=60 cm
Perimeter: Area = 1:2
Area of rectangle = 1/4 x Area of square 20. Solution (2)
= 1/4 x 16 x 16 = 64 cm2 Circumference of the semi-circle = 360cm
2’s = 64 r(π+2) = 360
1’s = 32cm r(22/7+2) = 360
2(L + B) = 32 Therefore, radius of the semi-circle = 70cm
2 (7X + 9X) = 32 Diameter of the semi-circle = 140cm
X=1 Side of the square = 3/5 (140) = 84cm
Hence, breadth of the rectangle = 9X = 9 cm. Perimeter of the square = 4a = 4*84 = 336 cm
25. Solution (2)
21. Solution (1) Let the side of square be ‘s’ cm
Let the length of the rectangle = 4 units So, length of rectangle = 1.4s cm
And breadth of the rectangle = 3 units And, breadth of rectangle = 0.8s cm
Then diagonal of the rectangle = √(42 + 32) = 5 According to the question,
units 2(1.4s + 0.8s) + 4s = 210
According to the question, the length of a 4.4s + 4s = 210
rectangle is increased by 25% and the breadth is 8.4s = 210
reduced by 33.33% s =210/8.4= 25 cm
New length = 125% of 4 units = 5 units So, length of rectangle = 1.4 × 25 = 35 cm
New breadth = 66.66% of 3 units = 2 units And, breadth of rectangle = 0.8 × 25 = 20 cm
In the new rectangle, New diagonal= √(52 + 22) = diagonal of rectangle = (√35)2+202 5√65 cm
√29
= approximately 5.38 units 26. Solution (1)
Change = (5.38 – 5) ×100/5 = 7.6% Let the length and breadth of the rectangle be 7a
cm and 3a cm respectively.
22. Solution (4) Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (7a + 3a)
Area of square = 256 cm2 , Side of square = 16 cm X = 20a
Area of rectangle = l × b Radius of circle/ length of rectangle=1/ 2
Length = 16 × 1.5 = 24 cm r/7a=1/2
Breadth = 16 × 1.2 = 19.2 cm According to question
Area of rectangle = 460.8 cm2 ⇒ 2πr – 20a = 8
Reqd. ratio =256/460.8 =5/9 ⇒ 2 ×22/7×7a/2– 20a = 8
⇒ 22a – 20a = 8
23. Solution (3) ⇒ 2a = 8
Area of square = 225 cm2 ⇒a=4
Side of square = √225 = 15 cm Length of the rectangle = 7 × 4 = 28cm
Perimeter of square = 15 × 4 = 60 cm
So, perimeter of rectangle = 2 × 60 = 120 cm 27. Solution (3)
2 (2 (x + 3) + 2 (x + 1)) = 120 Let the width of the rectangle = x cm
2x + 6 + 2x + 2 = 60 Then, 300% of x = 51
4x + 8 = 60 x = 51 ×100/300 = 17 cm
4x = 52 Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(length + width)
x = 13 = 2 × (51 + 17) = 136 cm
So, length of rectangle = 2 (13 + 3) = 32 cm Perimeter of the square = (136 + 8) = 144 cm
And, breadth of rectangle = 2 (13 + 1) = 28 cm The sides of the square =144/4= 36 cm
Therefore, area of rectangle = 32 × 28 = 896 cm2 The area of the square field without street
= (36)2 sq. cm
24. Solution (3) =1296 sq. cm
Let the radius of the circle = k The area of the square field with street
Area = 616 =22/7× k × k = (36 + 20)2 sq. cm
k = 14 cm = 3136 sq. cm
Area of rectangle = 126 = L × B = 14 × B → B The area of the street = 3136 – 1296 = 1840 sq. cm
= 9 cm The total cost of constructing the street
Perimeter = 2 × (L + B) = 2 × (14 + 9) = 46 cm = 1840 × 25
= Rs. 46,000
The area of rectangle = l × b = 14 × 12 Let the original side of the square be X cm, then
= 168 sq. cm new sides of the new figure would be X cm and
The area of square = 168 + 28 = 196 sq. cm X+20 cm.
The side of square = square root of 196 = 14 cm Now, new ratio of the sides = X: X + 20,
Radius of incircle of a square =side/2=14/2= 7 cm ⇒ 22: 24 = X: X + 20,
The reqd. area = πr2 =22/7× 7 × 7 = 154 sq.cm Solving, X = 220 cm.
∴ Side of the original square = 220 cm.
29. Solution (2)
∴ Area of the original square = multiplication of
The side of the square =100/4= 25 cm
both sides = 220 × 220 = 48400 cm2.
The area of the square = 25 × 25 = 625 sq. m
The area of the rectangle =3 × 625/5= 375 sq. cm
33. Solution (2)
Let the length of the rectangle = 3x and breadth of
the rectangle = 166.67% of 3x = 5x then perimeter The largest possible circle cut out of square has

And area = 375 = 3x × 5x Area of circle = π × (d2/4); where d is the diameter
x = 5 cm of the circle
Perimeter = 2(3x + 5x) = 16x = 80 cm Area of circle = π × (202/4) = 100π sq.cm
Area of square = s × s; where s is the side of the
30. Solution (5) square
Let the radius of the circle = r cm the length of the Area of square = 20 × 20 = 400 sq.cm
rectangle = 2r cm ∴ Ratio of area of circle to square = 100π/400
According to the question, area of the circle = A = = π: 4
πr2= 3 × 2r × 11
22/7× r = 2 × 3 × 11 34. Solution (5)
r = 21 cm perimeter of square = 96cm
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2(l + b) = 2 (21 × side of square = 96/4 = 24cm
2 + 11) = 106 cm radius of circle = 24 – 3 = 21 cm
area of circle = πr^2 = 22/7 * 21 *21 = 1386 cm^2

Circumference of the semi-circle = 360cm 6a2 = 3a3/4
r(π+2) = 360 a = 8 cm
r (22/7 +2) =360 So, total surface area of the cube = 6 * 8 * 8 = 384
Therefore, radius of the semi-circle = 70cm cm2
Diameter of the semi-circle = 140cm
Side of the square = 3/(5 ) (140) = 84cm 16. Solution (3)
Perimeter of the square = 4a = 4*84 22/7 * r * r = 616cm2

Required = (6 , 4 ) , (4 , 6) , ( 5, 5) = 3 ways 4 girls and 0 boys
total = 6 * 6 = 36 =4C4/9C4
probability = 3/36 = 1/12
ways 3 girls and 1 boy
2. Solution (5) =4C3*5C1/9C4
Non-favorable events = (1 , 1) , (2 , 2) , (3 , 3) , Total probability = 4C4/9C4 + 4C3*5C1/9C4
(4 , 4) , (5 , 5) , (6,6) = 6 =1/126+ 20/126=21/126=1/6
total = 6 * 6 = 36
probability of non-favorable events = 6/36 = 1/6
probability of favorable events = 1 – 1/6 = 5/6 9. Solution (2)
n(s)=30
3. Solution (4) Multiple of 4 ={4,8,12,16,20,24,28}
Required = 26C2 = 26 * 25/2 = 13 * 25 Multiple of 6={6,12,18,24}
total = 52C2 = 52 * 51 / 2 = 26 * 51 Then n(e)={4,6,8,12,16,18,20,24,28}|
probability = 13 * 25 / 26 * 51 = 25 /102
P=n(e)/n(s)=9/30=3/10.
4. Solution (3)
Required = ( 1 head , 1 tail ) , ( 2 tails) = (2C1) 10. Solution (3)
+ (2C2) = 2 + 1 = 3 13C1*12C1/25C2 + 13C2 *12C0/25C2
total = 2^2 = 4 =13*12/25*12 + 13*6*1/25*12
probability = 3/4
=13/25 + 13/50==> 39/50.
5. Solution (3)
probability = 4C1 * 2C1 / 8C2 + 4C1 * 2C1 / 8C2 11. Solution (4)

Given chances of students to solve is 1/3, 1/4,
1/5 12. Solution (3)
P(the problem will be solved) = 1 – P(none P(A or B)=P(+ P(B)-P(A and B)
solves the problem)
P(none solves the problem)=(1-1/3)*(1- =35/100+45/100-10/100
1/4)*(1-1/5) =70/100=7/10.
=2/3*3/4*4/5=24/60
P(the problem will be solved)=1-24/60 13. Solution (3)
=(60-24)/60=36/60=3/5 Probability of choosing a blue ball = 3/5
7. Solution (4) x/(x+8) = 3/5
Give chance for 1st and 2nd person get selected x = 12
is 1/4 and 1/6 Required Probability = [8C1*12C1+8C2] /
1st person not get selected chance is (1- (8+12) C2 = 62/95
1/4)=3/4
2nd person not get selected chance is (1-
1/6)=5/6 14. Solution (1)
P(only one get selected)=P(1st selected and (First ruby ball is drawn and then black ball is
2nd not selected) + P(1st not selected and 2nd drawn) + (first black ball is drawn and then ruby
selected) ball is drawn)
=(1/4*5/6) + (3/4*1/6) =8/24=1/3 (5/12)*(7/11)+(7/12)*(5/11) = 35/66
Fix X at one point then number of places where required probability=6/14+8/14=14/14=1
Y can be seated is 11.
Now, exactly three persons can be seated between 24. Solution (2)
X and Y, so only two places where Y can be required probability=(4C2)/(7C2)
seated. =4*3/7*6=2/7
So, X = 2/11
25. Solution (5)
16. Solution (1) required=(2C2)*(4C2)
In a leap year there are 52 complete weeks i.e. =(2*1/2*1)*(4*3/2*1)=1*6
364 days and 2 more days. total=14C4=14*13*12*11/4*3*2*1
These 2 days can be SM, MT, TW, WT, TF, FS, =7*13*11
and SS. probability=1*6/7*13*11=6/1001
So Probability of Wednesday = 2/7
26. Solution (4)
17. Solution (1) prime numbers=2,3,5,7
48/55 possibility of 2=(1,1)
possibility of 3=(1,2), (2,1)
18. Solution (1) possibility of 5=(1,4), (4,1), (3,2), (2,3)
5/16 possibility of 7=(1,6), (6,1), (2,5), (5,2), (3,4),
(4,3)
19. Solution (1) required=1+2+4+6=13
Total possible outcomes=11C3 = 165 total=6^2=36
Favourable outcomes = (1B, 2G) or (3G) probability=13/36
= 6C1 × 5C2 + 5C3
= 6 × 10 + 10 27. Solution (4)
= 70 A number to be divisible by 5, unit digit must be
Required probability = 70/165 = 14/33 0 or 5.
So, in 4-digit numbers unit place is required to be
20. Solution (3) filled by digit 5 and rest three places of required
3 particular person always sit together, then total 4-digit numbers will be filled by rest 4 digit.
person =5+1=6 numbers of ways = 4! = 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 = 24
6 persons will sit in (6-1)!=5! At round table.
No of ways in which 3 persons always sit 28. Solution (1)
together=5!*3! possibility = 1 tale or 2 tale or 3 tale
No of ways of sitting 8 persons at round table=(8- required = (3C1) + (3C2) + (3C3)
1)!=7!. =3+3+1=7
Then P= (5!*3!)/7! =1/7. total = 2^3 = 8
probability = 7/8
21. Solution (4)
total no. of outcome=6^2=36 29. Solution (2)
required no. of outcome=(3,5), (5,3), (6,2), (2,6), Probability = 25/100 = ¼
(4,4)=5
probability=5/36 30. Solution (1)
Multiples of 3 up to 250 = 250/3 = 83 (take
22. Solution (1) only whole number before the decimal part)
total no. of outcome=6^2=36 Multiples of 8 up to 250 = 250/3 = 31
required no. of outcome=(4,8,12) Multiples of 24 (3×8) up to 250 = 250/24 = 10
4=(2,2), (3,1), (1,3) So total such numbers are = 83 + 31 – 10
8=(3,5), (5,3), (6,2), (2,6), (4,4) = 104
12=(6,6) So required probability = 104/250 = 52/125
probability=(3+5+1)/36
=9/36=1/4
31. Solution (1) 2x(x+2)/(3x+7)(3x+6) = 4/21
Case 1: first was a white ball => x = 14
Now it is put in second urn, so total white balls The number of balls in the bag = 14*3+7 = 49
in second urn = 5+1 = 6, and total balls in
second urn = 12+1 = 13 37. Solution (2)
So probability of white ball from second urn = Probability that one ball is red and other is
6/13 green
Case 2: first was a blue ball = (3xC1*4xC1)/ (12x+10)C2 = 20/161
Now it is put in second urn, so total white balls => 246x^2 – 1140x – 450 = 0
in second urn remain 5, and total balls in => 41x^2 – 190x – 75 = 0
second urn = 12+1 = 13 => x = 5, -15/41
So probability of white ball from second urn = Bag contains 10 pink, 15 red , 25 blue and 20
5/13 green balls.
So required probability = 6/13 + 5/13 = 11/13 Difference in the number of green and red balls
(added the cases because we want one of these = 20 – 15 = 5
cases to happen and not both)
38. Solution (4)
32. Solution (2) 4M, 6F
2 men means other 2 woman and children Favourable cases = (0M, 5F) or (1M, 4F) or
So prob. = 3C2 × 7C2 /10C4 = 3/10 (2M, 3F) or (3M, 2F)
= 6C5 + 4C1 * 6C4 + 4C2*6C3 + 4C3*6C2
33. Solution (1) = 6 + 4 *15 + 6*20 + 4*15
P(odd) =P (even) = 1/2 (because there are 50 = 6 + 60 + 120 + 60 = 246
odd and 50 even numbers) Possible cases = 10C5
Sum of the three numbers can be odd only = 10*9*8*7*6/5*4*3*2
under the following 4 scenarios: = 42*6 = 252
Odd + Odd + Odd = 1/2*1/2*1/2 =1/8 Required prob = 246/252 = 41/42
Odd + Even + Even =1/2*1/2*1/2 =1/8
Even + Odd + Even = 1/2*1/2*1/2 =1/8 39. Solution (1)
Even + Even + Odd =1/2*1/2*1/2 =1/8 Let 2 events A and B
Adding all 1/8+1/8+1/8+1/8=4/8==>1/2. Odds against A are 1 : 3
So probability of occurrence of A = 3/(1+3)
34. Solution (1) = 3/4. And non-occurrence of A = ¼
Probability of selecting two oranges = Odds in favor of B are 2 : 5
(x+2)C2/(16+x)C2 Now, (x+2)C2/(16+x)C2 = So probability of occurrence of B = 2/(2+5)
2/51 = 2/7. And non-occurrence of B = 5/7
=> 7x^2 + 13x – 54 = 0 Case 1: A occurs and B does not occur
=> 7x^2 – 14x + 27x – 54 = 0 So probability = 3/4 * 5/7 = 15/28
=> x = 2 or -27/7 Case 2: B occurs and A does not occur
So probability = 2/7 * 1/4 = 2/28
35. Solution (2) So probability that one will occur = 15/28
Probability that atleast one bulb is defective = + 2/28 = 17/28
1 – P (All are non-defective)
= 1 – 15C3/20C3 = 137/228 40. Solution (4)
Let number of apples = x
36. Solution (4) Total fruits = (x + 5)
Total number of balls in the bag = x+x+2+x+5 Good fruits = 0.7(x + 5)
= 3x+7 Required probability = 0.7(x + 5)/(x + 5) = 0.7
Probability that a red and a blue ball are drawn
= (xC1*(x+2)C1)/(3x+7)C2 = 4/21

Hints & Solutions
1-5. Common explanation : 100-y are girls.
In Physics: let the number of girls be 10x, number
of boys will be 7x. 98 + y 89
=
In Chemistry: number of boys is 10x, number of 140 + 100 – y 80
girls will be 10x + 20.
So, 98 × 80 + 80y = 89 × 240 – 89y
37x + 20 = 538 169 y = 13520
518 y = 80
x=
37 Hence, option D is correct.
x = 14 5. Solution
1. Solution Following the common explanation, we get
Following the common explanation, we get Number of girls in Chemistry is increased by 10%
Number of girls who took admission in Physics = i.e., 160 (1.1) = 176
10x = 140 So, extra 176 – 160 = 16 girls are increased.
Since, the total 538 remains same, so 16 girls
Number of boys who took admission in Physics = should be removed from girls of Physics science.
7x = 98 So, 16 girls should be removed from 140 girls
Required difference = 140 – 98 = 42 Reqd % = (16/140)* 100 = 11.43%
Hence, option B is correct. Hence, option E is correct.
2. Solution 6-10. Common Explanation
Following the common explanation, we get Number of cows in farm ‘P’ = 200
Number of boys who took admission in Chemistry Number of horses in farm ‘R’ = 200 + 200 = 400
= 10x = 140 Number of cows in farm ‘R’ = 1000 – 400 = 600
Number of girls who took admission in Chemistry Number of cows in farm ‘S’ = 1.25 × 600 = 750
= 10x + 20 = 160 Number of cows in farm ‘Q’ = 1800 – (750 + 600
Total number of students who took admission in + 200) = 250
Chemistry = 140 + 160 = 300 Number of horses in farm ‘P’ = 400 × (6/5) = 480
Hence, option C is correct.. Number of horses in farm ‘Q’ = 350
Number of horses in farm ‘S’ = 350 + 150 = 500

Number of elders in company D = 350 12. Solution (1)
So, number of elders in company E = 350 + 34 = In company C,
384 Difference between male and female employees =
So, number of elders in companies (A + B + C) = 160
2494 – 350 – 384 = 1760 Total number of employees = 1760
Number of elders in companies (A + B) = Number So, number of male employees = (1760 – 160)/2 =
of elders in company C = 1760/2 = 880 800
Number of elders in company B is 1/5 more than Number of male elders = 480
that of elders in company A. So, number of youngsters male employees = 800 –
So, number of elders in company A = 5/11 x 880 = 480 = 320
400 Required percentage = 320/800 x 100 = 40%
So, number of elders in company B = 880 – 400 = Hence answer is option 1
480
In company A, 13. Solution (3)
Number of elders = 400 Male elders in company A = 240
Number of youngsters = 75% of total employees Female elders in company E = 160
So, number of elders = 25% of total employees Value of M = 240 – 160 = 80
So, total number of employees = 400/25 x 100 = Male elders in company D = 150
1600 Female elders in company B = 300
Number of youngsters = 75% x 1600 = 1200 Value of N = 300 – 150 = 150
Percentage by which male elders is more than that Required percentage change = (150 – 80)/80 x 100
of female elders = 50% = 87.5%
So, number of male elders = 3/5 x 400 = 240 Hence answer is option 3
Number of female elders = 400 – 240 = 160
