Number of green bulbs manufactured by Number of green bulbs manufactured by A = 840
Company F = 1200 * 3/5 = 720 – 380 = 460
Number of blue bulbs manufactured by
Company F = 1260 – 720 = 540 5) Answer: D

Let the number of red bulbs manufactured by The quantity of fresh fruits sold in shop M = 320
Company B and D be 2a and 3a respectively. * 60/(100 – 60) = 320 * 60/40 = 480 kg
Number of green bulbs manufactured by The quantity of fresh fruits sold in shop N = 180 *
Company B = 4b 40/(100 – 40) = 180 * 40/60 = 120 kg
Number of green bulbs manufactured by The quantity of fresh fruits sold in shop O = 240 *
Company D = 5b 70/(100 – 70) = 240 * 70/30 = 560 kg
4b + 2a = 600 ---(1) The quantity of fresh fruits sold in shop P = 160 *
5b + 3a = 800 ---(2) 20/(100 – 20) = 160 * 20/80 = 40 kg
From equations (1) * 3 and (2) * 2,

Required ratio = 480:300 = 8:5 Present age of B = 4x
Present age of C = 5x * 2/5 = 2x
8) Answer: A (4x – 6)/(2x + 2) = 150/100
The total quantity of both dry and fresh fruits sold 8x – 12 = 6x + 6
in shop L = 250 + 250 = 500 kg x = 18/2 = 9
Required percentage = (560 – 500)/500 * 100 = The age of A three years ago = 5 * 9 – 3 = 45 – 3
60/500 * 100 = 12% = 42 years

9) Answer: B 13) Answer: C


The quantity of fresh fruits sold in shop A = 120 * Let the speed of train A and train B be (x – 10)
8/3 = 320 kg m/sec and x m/sec respectively.
The quantity of dry fruits sold in shop A = 250 * Length of Train A = 3a
80/100 = 200 kg Length of Train B = 4a
Required total = 320 + 200 = 520 kg 3a + 90 = (x – 10) * 16 ---(1)
x = 4a/8 = a/2
10) Answer: E Substitute x value in equation (1),
The quantity of dry fruits unsold in shop P = 160 3a + 90 = 16(a/2) – 160
* 40/100 = 64 kg a = 250/5 = 50
The quantity of fresh fruits unsold in shop P = 44 x = 50/2 = 25 m/sec
* 2 – 64 = 24 kg
Required ratio = 40:24 = 5:3 14) Answer: A
Initial quantity of milk = 160 * 3/(3 + 1) = 160 *
11) Answer: A 3/4 = 120 liters
Let the distance between point A and point B be Initial quantity of water = 160 – 120 = 40 liters
D. 1/4th of 160 liters = 160 * 1/4 = 40 liters
D/48 – 1.5 = D/(48 + 24) + 1 The amount of water left in the vessel = 40 * (1 –
D/48 – D/72 = 2.5 (40/160))2
3D – 2D = 2.5 * 144 = 40 * (120/160)2 = 22.5 liters
D = 360 km The amount of milk left in the vessel = 160 –

8/(x + 10) + 1/(2x) = 1 – 8/12 – 1/24 The upstream speed of the boat = 135/9 = 15
2x * 8 + (x + 10) = (24 – 16 – 1)/24 * (x + 10) * 2x km/hr
7x2 + 70x – 204x – 120 = 0 Speed of the boat in still water = 4a km/hr
7x2 – 134x – 120 = 0 Speed of the stream = a km/hr
7x2 – 140x + 6x – 120 = 0 4a – 1a = 15
7x(x – 20) + 6(x – 20) = 0 a = 15/3 = 5
x = + 20, -6/7 The downstream speed of the boat = (4 + 1) * 5

= (35 + 50 * 2) : (72 + 54 * 2) Number of students in School X = 4a
= 135:180 = 3:4 Number of students in School Y = 3a
4a – 3a = 420 (4a + 3a)/4 + 250 + 4a + 3a = 1250 * 3
a = 420 7a + 1000 + 28a = 3750 * 4
x = 3 * 420 = 1260 35a = 15000 - 1000
35a = 14000
18) Answer: A a = 14000/35 = 400
(4 * 5x * 120/100) + (2 * 22/7 * 7x * 150/100) – Number of students in school Y = 3 * 400 = 1200

1. Answer: E y(y - 28) - 27(y - 28) = 0
2x2 - 30x + 52 = 0 (y – 27) (y - 28) = 0
2x2 - 4x - 26x + 52 = 0 y = + 27 , + 28
2x(x - 2) - 26(x - 2) = 0 Hence, x ≤ y
(2x - 26) (x - 2) = 0
x = + 13 , + 2 3. Answer: A
2y2 - 5y - 63 = 0 From I
2y2 - 14y + 9y - 63 = 0 x2 + 22x + 105 = 0
2y(y - 7) + 9(y - 7) = 0 x2 + 15x + 7x + 105 = 0
(2y + 9) (y - 7) = 0 x(x + 15) + 7(x + 15) = 0
y = - 9/2, + 7 (x + 7) (x + 15) = 0
Hence , x = y or relationship can’t be x = - 7 , - 15
determined. From II
y2 - 33y + 266 = 0
2. Answer: B y2 - 14y - 19y + 266 = 0
I) x2 - 39x + 324 = 0 y(y - 14) – 19(y - 14)= 0
x2 - 12x - 27x + 324 = 0 (y - 19) (y - 14) = 0
x(x - 12) - 27(x - 12) = 0 y = + 19 , + 14
(x - 27) (x - 12) = 0 Hence , x < y
x = + 27 , + 12

x2 - 41x + 330 = 0
x2 - 30x - 11x + 330 = 0 7. Answer: D
x(x - 30) - 11(x - 30) = 0 86 + 63 = 149
(x - 11) (x - 30) = 0 149 + 61 = 210
x = + 11 , + 30 210 + 59 = 269
From II 269 + 57 = 326
y2 - 13y - 510 = 0 326 + 55 = 381
y2 - 30y + 17y - 510 = 0
y(y - 30) + 17(y - 30) = 0 8. Answer: E
(y + 17) (y - 30) = 0 (8 * 1) + 12 = 9
y= - 17 , + 30 (9 * 2) + 22 = 22
Hence, relationship between x and y cannot (22 * 3) + 32 = 75
be determined. (75 * 4) + 42 = 316
(316 * 5) + 52 = 1605
5. Answer: C
x2 - 26x + 105 = 0 9. Answer: B
x2 - 21x - 5x + 105 = 0 (10 * 1) - 1 = 9
x(x - 21) - 5(x - 21) = 0 (9 * 2) - 2 = 16
(x - 5) (x - 21) = 0 (16 * 3) - 3 = 45
x = + 5 , + 21 (45 * 4) - 4 = 176
From II (176 * 5) - 5 = 875
y2 + 33y + 260 = 0
y2 + 20y + 13y + 260 = 0 10. Answer: A
y(y + 20) + 13(y + 20) = 0 7920 ÷ 6 = 1320
(y + 13) (y + 20) = 0 1320 ÷ 5 = 264
y= - 13 , - 20 264 ÷ 4 = 66
