Theater T:
The number of males who visited = 440 * 70/100 Directions (6-10):
= 308 Monday:
The number of females who visited = 440 – 308 The total number of defective and non-defective
= 132 chairs manufactured = 200 * 2 = 400
The number of defective chairs manufactured =
240/3 = 80
The number of non-defective chairs
manufactured = 400 – 80 = 320
Tuesday:
1. Answer: A
The total number of defective and non-defective
The total number of people who visited theater S
chairs manufactured = 110 * 2 = 220
on Monday = 410 + 130 = 540
The number of defective chairs manufactured =
The average number of males and females who
150/3 = 50
visited theater S on Monday = 540/2 = 270
2. Answer: D
Wednesday:
Required difference = 450 – 132 = 318

The total number of defective and non-defective The number of defective chairs sold on Tuesday
chairs manufactured = 210 * 2 = 420 = 125 * 2/5 = 50
The number of defective chairs manufactured = The number of defective chairs unsold on
210/3 = 70 Tuesday = 50 – 50 = 0
manufactured = 420 – 70 = 350 9. Answer: C
Thursday: The total number of chairs manufactured on
The total number of defective and non-defective Sunday = 420 * 75/100 = 315
chairs manufactured = 120 * 2 = 240 The number of defective chairs manufactured on
The number of defective chairs manufactured = Sunday = 85 * 2 – 70 = 170 – 70 = 100
90/3 = 30 The number of non-defective chairs
The number of non-defective chairs manufactured on Sunday = 315 – 100 = 215
Friday: 10. Answer: C
The total number of defective and non-defective Required average = (210 + 80)/2 = 290/2 = 145
chairs manufactured = 180 * 2 = 360
The number of defective chairs manufactured = Directions (11-15):
180/3 = 60 The number of children who played all three
The number of non-defective chairs games = 45

7. Answer: D The ratio of the number of children who played
The total number of defective chairs both rollercoaster and topspin to the number of
manufactured on Thursday and Friday together children who played both rollercoaster and water
= 30 + 60 = 90 slide = 140:100 = 7:5
Required percentage = 90/300 * 100 = 30% The number of children who played both
rollercoaster and topspin and the number of
8. Answer: E children who played both rollercoaster and water
The number of non-defective chairs sold on slide = 270-135-45 = 90
Tuesday = 170 – 45 = 125

The number of children who played both Required ratio = 180:165 = 12:11
rollercoaster and topspin but not water slide =
7x-45
The number of children who played both 13. Answer: C
rollercoaster and water slide but not topspin = The number of male and female children who
5x-45 played only topspin = 144
7x-45+5x-45 = 90 The difference between the number of males
12x = 180 and females who played only topspin = 66
x = 15 The number of male children who played only
The number of children who played both topspin = (144+66)/2 = 210/2 = 105
rollercoaster and topspin but not water slide = The number of male children who played only
7*15-45 = 60 rollercoaster = 105*5/7 = 75
The number of children who played both The number of female children who played only
rollercoaster and water slide but not topspin = rollercoaster = 135-75 = 60
5*15-45 = 30
The number of children who played only water 14. Answer: D
slide = 330-45-30-75 = 180 The number of children who played at most one
The number of children who played only topspin game = 180+135+144 = 459
= 324-60-45-75 = 144 Required percentage = 459/270*100 = 170%
15. Answer: B
The number of children who played both water
slide and topspin = 75+45 = 120
Required average = (180+120)/2 = 300/2 = 150
16. Answer: C
Length of train A = 60 * 5/18 * 27 = 450 m
450 + Length of train B = (60 – 48) * 5/18 * 180
11. Answer: D
Length of train B = 600 – 450 = 150 m
Required difference = 60-144 = 84 less

The number of children who played exactly two
17. Answer: A
games = 30+60+75 = 165

Base of the right angled triangle = 5x = (13x/20)*40/100= 13x/50

Height of the right angled triangle = 3x So,
Area of the right angled triangle = 120 m2 13x/50 + 7x/20= 87840
1/2 * 5x * 3x = 120 26x+35x/100= 87840
x2 = 16 61x= 87840*100
x=4 x= 8784000/61
Base of the right angled triangle = 5 * 4 = 20 m x= Rs. 144000
Height of the right angled triangle = 3 * 4 = 12 m
Side of the equilateral triangle = (20 + 12)/2 * 19. Answer: C
125/100 = 16 * 125/100 = 20 m x/32 + (x – 12)/24 + (x – 6)/30 = 1
Perimeter of the equilateral triangle = 3 * 20 = 60 15x + 20x – 240 + 16x – 96 = 480
m x = 16

1. Answer: B 84 + 560 – 174 = ?

210% of 40 + 35 * 16 – 174 = ? 470 = ?

=> 1280 ÷ 2 + 900 = ?

=> 1540
2. Answer: C
720 ÷ 4 + 48 * 5 = ? + 34 * 15 8. Answer: A
180 + 240 = ? + 510 1/4 of 16.012 + ?% of 4200 = 12.892 + 32.99
? = -90 => ¼ * 16 + ?% of 4200 = 132 + 33
=> 4 + ?% of 4200 = 202
3. Answer: C => ?% of 4200 = 198
3(1/4) of 36 + 5(1/6) of 42 + 1(1/2) * 18 = ?2 =>? = 198 * 100/4200
13/4 * 36 + 31/6 * 42 + 3/2 * 18 = ?2 => 5
117 + 217 + 27 = ?2
19 = ? 9. Answer: A
4. Answer: E 12.992 + 15.102 = 2.894+ ?
60% of 310 + 20% of 150 + 125% of 64 = ? => 132 + 152 = 34+ ?
186 + 30 + 80 = ? => 169 + 225 – 81 = ?
296 = ? => 313
5. Answer: B 10. Answer: B

15% of 300 + ?2 = 276 ÷ 23 + 322 666 ÷ 11.89 + 104 ÷ 23= ?
45 + ?2 = 12 + 322 => 666 ÷ 12 + 104 ÷ 23= ?
?2 = 289 => 55.5 + (10000 ÷ 8) = ?
? = 17 => 1306
6. Answer: C 11. Answer: C

(14.18 + 2.01) ÷ 2.12 * 4.97 – 28.98 + 528.12 = 250 ÷ 2 + 1 = 126
? 126 ÷ 2 + 1 = 64
=> (14 + 2) ÷ 2 * 5 – 29 + 528 = ? 64 ÷ 2 + 1 = 33
=> 8 * 5 – 29 + 528 = ? 33 ÷ 2 + 1 = 17.5
=> 539
12. Answer: A
7. Answer: C 132 + (12 – 1) = 132
(625)1/4 of (15.92)2 ÷ 2.12 + 302= ? 132 + (22 – 2) = 134
=> 5 * 162 ÷ 2 + 900 = ? 134 + (32 – 3) = 140
