1. Answer: C
3. Answer: A
Actual speed of train T1 = 80 km/h
Number of stops taken by Train T5 = 1470/50
New speed of train T1 = 64 km/h
= 29
According to the question,
A total of 29 stops are taken by Train T5 and the
(a/80) + ((760 – a)/64) = 10 (3/5)
next stop is its final destination.
(4a + 3800 – 5a) / 320 = 53 / 5
Total time taken by Train T5 to cover total
19000 – 5a = 16960
distance = (1470/120) + 29 * (5/60)
5a = 2040
4. Answer: A
Quantity I:
New distance for Train T1 to cover = 760 (3/5) =
456 km
New speed of Train T1 = 80 (3/4) = 60 km/h
Time taken by Train T1 to cover new distance
with new speed = 456/60
= 7 (36/60)
GDP per capita of city A = 2500 lakhs / 1000
The total time taken is 7 hours 36 minutes.
= Rs. 2,50,000
Quantity II:
GDP per capita of city B = 1800 lakhs / 1200
New distance for Train T2 to cover = 1140 (1/3)
= Rs. 1,50,000
= 380 km
GDP per capita of city C = 1500 lakhs / 1200
New speed of Train T2 = 90 (2/3) = 60 km/h
= Rs. 1,25,000
Time taken by Train T2 to cover new distance
GDP per capita of city D = 2200 lakhs / 1650
with new speed = 380/60
= Rs. 1,33,333.33
= 6 (20/60)
GDP per capita of city E = 1250 lakhs/ 1000
The total time taken is 6 hours 20 minutes.
= Rs. 1,25,000
Quantity I > Quantity II
5. Answer: B
Solution:
Direction (5 – 8):
GDP per capita of city C in 2021 = a
The population of city D = 3b + 0.75a
Population of city C in 2021 = 1200(3/4)
The population of city C = 2b + a
= 900
Then, 3b + 0.75a – 2b – a = 4.5
GDP of city C in 2021 = 8145 lakhs
b – 0.25a = 4.5 …. (1)
Then, a = 8145 lakhs/ 900
The population of city E = 2b
GDP per capita of city C in 2021, a = Rs.
Then, 3b + 0.75a = 2b + 6.5
9,05,000
b + 0.75a = 6.5 …. (2)
= 124000 = 12.5%
Total amount invested by C in the year = 24000 Principal of A = (5500/12.5) * 100
+ 30000 + 33000 + 27000 = 44000
= 114000 Principal of D = 44000 + 10000
Total amount invested by D in the year = 40000 = 54000
+ 32000 The amount received by D after lending his sum
= 72000 at compound interest for 2 years = (54000 (1 +
Total amount invested by E in the year = 35000 (50/300))2)
+ 27000 = 73500
= 62000 Principal of C = 73500 – 11000
Ratio of investment of A, B, C, D, and E = = 62500
106000: 124000: 114000: 72000: 62000 Principal of E = 62500
= 53: 62: 57: 36: 31 As, rate of interest of A is 2.5% more than
The profit share of D = Rs. 58500 interest rate of C (given)
Profit share of E = (58500/36) * 31 = Rs. 50375 So, Rate of interest for C = 10%
The profit share of E is Rs. 50375. Rate of interest on the sum of E = 2 * 10%
= 20%
Direction (13 – 16): The amount received by E after lending his sum
Let the principal of B be p. at compound interest for 4 years = 62500 (1 +
According to the question, (20/100))4
(p (1+ (100/700))3) – (p + ((p * r * t)/100) = 4400 = 129600
(p (8/7)3) – p – ((p * 100/7 * 3)/100) = 4400 The amount received by E after lending his sum
(51200p – 34300p – 14700p)/34300 = 4400 at simple interest for 4 years = 62500 + ((62500
2200p = 4400 * 34300 * 20 * 4)/100)
p = 68600 = 112500
This means the principal of B is Rs. 68600.
Simple interest for A’s sum for 2 years = 11000
Simple interest for A’s sum for 1 year = 5500
Compound interest on A’s sum for 2 years =
11687.5
Rate of interest for A’s sum = ((11687.5 –
11000)/5500) * 100 13. Answer: B
= (687.5/5500) * 100 Each part of the A’s sum = 44000/2
= 22000
Simple interest accrued on the first part of A’s The amount received by D after investing his
sum = (22000 * 12.5 * 3) / 100 new sum at compound interest for 3 years =
= 8250 81000 (1 +(50/300))³
Compound interest accrued on the second part = 81000 (7/6)3
of A’s sum = 22000 (1 + (12.5/100))2 – 22000 = 128625
= 27843.75 – 22000 The total amount D got after 3 years is 128625.
= 5843.75
Reqd. difference = 8250 – 5843.75 = 2406.25 16. Answer: B
Amount invested by D in SGB = 54000
14. Answer: D Total amount at the end of 3 years =
From statement i, 54000*(105/100)*(105/100) (105/100)
64000 (1 + (17.5/100))3 – 64000 = 39823 = Rs. 61261.52
64000 (47/40)3 – 64000 = 39823 Amount after deducting 2% tax on the whole
103823 – 6400 = 39823 amount = 62511.75*(98/100)
39823 = 39823 = Rs. 61261.52
Statement i is correct. The amount D gets at the end of 3 years after
From statement ii, deducting all taxes is Rs. 61261.52
48000 (1 + (17.5/100))3 – 48000 = 29867.25
48000 (47/40)3 – 48000 = 29867.25 Direction (17 – 20):
77867.25 – 48000 = 29867.25 Number of goals scored by Team P from the
29867.25 = 29867.25 distance of 2 feet = N3
Statement ii is correct. Number of goals scored by Team Q from the
From statement iii, distance of 2 feet = N2
32000 (1 + (17.5/100))3 – 32000 = 19911.5 Then, N3/N2 = 2/1
32000 (47/40)3 – 32000 = 19911.5 N=2
51911.5 – 32000 = 19911.5 And, the number of goals scored by Team S
19911.5 = 19911.5 from the distance of 6 feet =N + 1
Statement iii is correct. Number of goals scored by Team T from the
All i, ii, and iii are correct. distance of 2 feet = M + N
Then, (N + 1) / (M + N) = 3 / 7
15. Answer: C 7N + 7 = 3M + 3N
New principal of D = 54000 * 1.5 Putting the value of N
= 81000 14 + 7 = 3M + 6
C2 + 2BA = 52 + 2 * 3 * 2
= 25 + 12
= 37
Statement I is incorrect.
From statement ii,
A3 (2B + C) = 23 (2 * 3 + 5)
= 8 (11)
17. Answer: B = 88
Total amount received by Team Q = 4 * 500 + 5
Statement ii is correct.
* 1000 + 3 * 2000 + 4 * 5000 = 33000 From statement iii,
Total amount received by Team S = 6 * 500 + 9 * 10BC + A2 = 10 * 3 * 5 + 22
1000 + 3 * 2000 + 3 * 5000 = 33000 = 150 + 4
Reqd. percentage = (33000/33000) * 100 = 154
100% Statement iii is incorrect.
From statement iv,
18. Answer: D B4 + A + C = 3 4 + 2 + 5
Let the number of red card penalties be a. = 81 + 2 + 5
The number of Yellow card penalties = a + 3 = 88
68 – (4 * a + 1 * (a + 3)) = 55 Statement iv is correct.
4a + a + 3 = 13 Only ii and iv are correct.
5a = 10
a= 2 20. Answer: A
Number of Red card penalties = 2 According to the question,
Number of Yellow card penalties = 2 + 3 = 5 (8 + d) * 2 + 3 * 4 + (4 ((100 + d)/100)) * 6 + 2 * 8
Reqd. sum = 5 + 2 = 7 = (68 * 2) – 12
16 + 2d + 12 + (4 ((100 + d)/100)) * 6 + 16 = 124
19. Answer: A
2d + (4 ((100 + d)/100)) * 6 = 80
Average of total points of Team Q, Team S, and
(200d + 2400 + 24d)/100 = 80
Team T = (78 + 90 + 96)/3
d = 25
=264/3 = 88 The value of d is 25.
From statement i,
