Solution:

Q1.

Students admitted in college A & B in 2021 = x × 1.1 + 2x/1.5 = 1.1x + 1.6x = 2.7x
Students admitted in college C & D in 2021 = x × 1.3 + 2x/1.15 = 1.3x + 40x/23 =
699x/230
Required % = 2.7x/(699x/230) × 100 = 88.84% = 89%

Q2.

(A)
8X × (1.12 - 1) = 14Y
4X × (1.21 - 1) = 7Y
4X × 0.21 = 7Y
X : Y = 1 : 0.12 = 25 : 3

(B)
(400 - X)/Y = X/60
24000 - 60X = XY
X = 24000/(Y + 60)

From I)
a2 - 56a + 300 = 0
(a - 6)(a - 50) = 0
a = 6, 50
X = 50, Y = 6
X : Y = 50 : 6 = 25 : 3 (Satisfy A)
Y = 6, X = 24000/(6 + 60) = 24000/66 = 4000/11 ≠ 50 (Not Satisfy B)
From II) X = 240, Y = 40
X : Y = 240 : 40 = 6 : 1 (Not Satisfy A)
Y = 400, X = 24000/(40 + 60) = 24000/100 = 240 (Satisfy B)

From III)
3X + 4Y = 880
9X - 8Y = 240
2 × (3X + 4Y) + (9X - 8Y) = 2 × 880 + 240
6X + 8Y + 9X - 8Y = 1760 + 240
15X = 2000
X = 400/3
Y = (9 × 400/3 - 240)/8 = (1200 - 240)/8 = 960/8 = 120
X : Y = 400/3 : 120 = 10 : 9 (Not Satisfy A)
Y = 120, X = 24000/(120 + 60) = 24000/180 = 400/3 (Satisfy B)
From IV) X = 125, Y = 15
X : Y = 125 : 15 = 25 : 3 (Satisfy A)
Y = 15, X = 24000/(15 + 60) = 24000/75 = 320 (Not Satisfy B)
(A) - (I), (IV) and B - (II), (III)

Q3.

Side of Square = √576 = 24 cm

Breadth of Rectangle P = 24 cm
Length of Rectangle P = 24 × 9/8 = 27 cm
Area of Rectangle P = 24 × 27 = 648 cm2
Area of Square is less than Area of Rectangle P by = 648 - 576 = 72
Breadth of Rectangle Q = 24 × 7/8 = 21 cm
Length of Rectangle Q = (4 × 24 + 14)/2 - 21 = (96 + 14)/2 - 21 = 110/2 - 21 = 55 -
21 = 34 cm
Difference between sides of Rectangle Q = 34 - 21 = 13 cm
Area of Rectangle Q = 21 × 34 = 714 cm2
Area of Rectangle P is less than Area of Rectangle Q by = (714 - 648)/714 × 100 =
(9 + 29/119)%

Q4.

Speed of Boat Y in still water = 26 km/h

Speed of Boat X in still water = 26 - 3 = 23 km/hr
Speed of Stream = 23/2.3 = 10 km/hr
Time taken by Boat X to cover 264 km in downstream = 264/(23 + 10) = 264/33 =
8 hours
Time taken by Boat Y to cover 432 km in downstream = 432/(26 + 10) = 432/36 =
12 hours
Downstream Speed of Boat X : Downstream Speed of Boat Y
= (23 + 10) : (26 + 10) = 33 : 36 = 11 : 12
8, 12, 11 : 12, 10

Q5.

Investment of Anjali = 10500 × 24 + 3000 × (24 - x) - 4500 × (24 - x - y)

= (216000 + 1500x + 4500y) Rs.= 1500(144 + x + 3y) Rs.
Investment of Sapna = 7500 × 24 - 7500 × 1/5 × (24 - x) + 7500 × 0.6 × (24 - x - y)
= 7500 × (24 - 24/5 + x/5 + 14.4 - 0.6x - 0.6y) = 1500(168 - 2x - 3y) Rs.
1500(144 + x + 3y)/1500(168 - 2x - 3y) = 5/4
4 × (144 + x + 3y) = 5 × (168 - 2x - 3y)
576 + 4x + 12y = 840 - 10x - 15y
14x + 27y = 264

Answer Key:

1. A
2. D
3. C
4. D
5. D

Solution:

Q1.

In Company A, Total Employees = 3y

Male employee = (x + 100), Female employee = 3y - (x + 100) = (3y - x - 100)
In Company B, Total Employees = 3y/0.75 = 4y
Male employees = (x - 100), Female employees = 4y - (x - 100) = (4y - x + 100)
In Company C, Total Employees = 3y
Male employees = x, Female employees = 3y - x
From Statement I,
(3y - x - 100)/(4y - x + 100) = 1/5
15y - 5x - 500 = 4y - x + 100
11y - 4x = 600
(4y - x + 100)/(3y - x) = 5/2
8y - 2x + 200 = 15y - 5x
7y - 3x = 200
x = 400, y = 200
Female employees in company C = 3 × 200 - 400 = 600 - 400 = 200 (Statement I
alone is sufficient)

Q2.

From Statement I and Statement II

Total Profit = 24000/0.4 = 60000 Rs.
Second Amount invested by Vivek = 24000 × 5/6 = 20000 Rs.
Second Amount invested by Chandan = 24000 × 1/6 = 4000 Rs.
Second Amount invested by Amit = 4000 × 2 = 8000 Rs.
Investment of Amit = 2x × 4 + 8000 × 8 = (8x + 64000) Rs.
Investment of Chandan = x × 10 + 4000 × 2 = (10x + 8000) Rs.
Investment of Vivek = x × 6 + 20000 × 6 = (6x + 120000) Rs.
(24x + 192000) × 0.4 = 10x + 8000
24x + 192000 = 25x + 20000
x = 172000 Rs.
Investment of Amit = 8 × 172000 + 64000 = 1376000 + 64000 = 1440000 Rs.
Investment of Chandan = 10 × 172000 + 8000 = 1720000 + 8000 = 1728000 Rs.
Investment of Vivek = 6 × 172000 + 120000 = 1032000 + 120000 = 1152000 Rs.
Profit Ratio, Amit : Chandan : Vivek = 1440000 : 1728000 : 1152000 = 5 : 6 : 4
Profit Share of Amit = 60000 × 5/15 = 20000 Rs.
Both the statements together are sufficient

Q3.

From Statement I,
CP of Chair = x Rs.
CP of Table = 2x Rs.
(2x × 1.25 + x × 1.2) × 0.8 = (2x + x) - 6
(2.5x + 1.2x) × 0.8 = 3x - 6
3.7x × 0.8 = 3x - 6
3x - 2.96x = 6
0.04x = 6
x = 150
CP of Chair & Table both = x + 2x = 3 × 150 = 450 Rs. (Statement I alone is
sufficient)
From Statement II,
CP of Chair = 6/0.04 = 150 Rs.
CP of Table = 150 × 2 = 300 Rs.
CP of Chair & Table both = 150 + 300 = 450 Rs. (Statement II alone is sufficient)

Either is sufficient.

Q4.

Let Clerk = x, Chief Financial officers = y

From Statement I and Statement II together
x
C1 × 6C2 × 4C1 = 120
x × 15 × 4 = 120

Solution:
Q1. Let the first typist take x minutes and second typist take y minutes in doing
the work.
Then,
1/x +1/y = 1/6 --- (I)
Again,
4/x + 6/y =4/5 --- (II)
Now checking through option
Option I
When x = 10, then
1/10 +1/y = 1/6
1/y = 1/15
Y =15
Putting in II
LHS = 4/106/15 = 4/5 =RHS

It is given that CP is 4500 and SP = 4500-300 = 4200

So CP: SP = 45:42 = 15:14
Now to fill in the blanks (which have the same amount as only 1 option is given)
check from options and the one which has the same CP:SP ratio is the answer.
From I
CP/SP = (10/11)*(10/9)*(4/3) = 400/297 (not = 15:14)
So option I doesn’t fit.
Similarly, we get,
from II = 64:45
from III = 1600:1197
from IV= 625:462
Thus None of these will fill in the blanks.

Q3.
Quantity 1
Net gain % = {20-15-[(20*15)/100}} = 20-18 = 2%
Quantity 2
Let CP of 1 article be Rs.1 then CP of 15 articles = Rs.15 and of 12 articles is Rs.12
SP of 12 = CP of 15 =Rs. 15
Gain % = [(15-112)/12]*100 =( ¼)*100 = 25%
Q1<Q2

Q4. From options

Option C is correct, i.e
35*4 = 35+30+25+20+15+10+5
140=140 (LHS = RHS)
Q 5-6. Age of B = 28 years, A = 28-4 = 24 years
Let the age of all 9 members excluding A and B be ‘a’, so sum of their ages will be
‘9a’
 (9a + 28+24 /11) – a = 2
 9a + 52 – 11a = 22
 52-2a = 22
 2a = 30
 a = 15 (Average age of 9 members excluding A and B)
Also, 9a = 15*9 = 135
Therefore average age of all 11 members is
= (135+28+24)/ 11 = 187/11 = 17

Q5. As per the condition in this questions A’s new age will be = 28+4 = 32
So Again,
=(9a + 28+32 /11) – a = 2
=9a + 60 – 11a = 22
=60-2a = 22
=2a = 38
=a = 19 (Average age of 9 members excluding A and B)
Also, 9a = 19*9 = 171
Therefore average age of all 11 members is
= (171+28+32)/ 11 = 231/11 = 21 (new average)
Difference = 21-17 = 4 years
Q6. As we calculated above, the sum of ages of the other 9 members was 135
years.
The average C, D, E is 12 years, so sum is = 12*3 = 48 years
And, the average age of F, H, I, J and K is 14 years, so sum is = 14*5 = 70 years
Thus the age of G = 135 – 70 – 48 = 17 years

Solution:
For Axis Bank
Applied = 1250
Qualified (Selected) = 1250*72% = 900
Similarly,
Applied Selected
Axis Bank 1250 900
BOB 1300 780
Canara Bank 700 378
Deutsche Bank 840 630
PNB 900 594
Total 4990 3282

Q1. In Canara Bank

Selected PO in 2021 = 60*100/120 = 60*5/6 = 50
Selected Clerk in 2022 = 60*2/1 = 120
Selected Clerk in 2021 = 50*2/1 = 100
Thus, Difference = 120-100 = 20
Q2. In Axis Bank
Selected Scale I Officer = 400*62.5% = 250
Let the Number of clerks selected be 3u, PO be 2u, then SO = 3u (1/2) = 1.5u
 Clerk + PO + SO = 900-250 = 650
Or, 3u + 2u + 1.5u = 6.5u = 650
So, 1u = 100
Thus the number of clerks who got selected = 3*100 = 300
Q3. Let the number of clerks selected in BOB be 3u & PO be 5u
Thus number of selected Clerks in Deutsche Bank = 3u*(1/3)= 1u
Now, it is given that,
3u + 5u = 560
8u = 560
1u = 70 (Number of selected Clerks)
Then, Number of people selected as PO in Deutsche bank = 70*3/1 = 210
Q4. In PNB
Let number of selected Clerks be 5u and POs be 4u
Then, 5u-4u =30
1u = 30
Selected Clerks = 5*30 = 150
Selected POs = 4*30 = 120
Selected SOs = 594-[150+120+100] = 594 – 370 = 224
People not Selected as SO = 378-224 = 154
Q5. In Axis bank
Number of clerks in 2023 = 300*90% = 270
Number of PO in 2023 = [200*75%] + [300*10%] = 150+30 = 180
Difference = 270-180 = 90

Solution:
SP of 1 English book = 1500 Rs.
SP of 1 Math book = 1500-800 = 700 Rs.
SP of 1 Science book = 700*4/7 = 400 Rs.
Number of Science Book = Total Revenue Earned/SP of 1 book = 80000/400 = 200
Number of Math Book = 200 -24 = 176
Number of English Book = 176*100/320 = 55
CP of 1 English Book = Total Revenue/Total No. of Books = 66000/55 = 1200RS.
Now it is given that for English books,
Discount on 1 book = Profit on 1 book = 1500-1200 = 300Rs.
Thus MP of 1 English Book is (SP + Discount) = 1500+300 = 1800Rs.
MP of 1 Math Book = (1305*2) – 1800 = 810Rs.
Also, it is given MP % is same for all 3 books, i.e.
= {[1800-1200]/1200}*100 = 600/12 = 50%
Thus, CP of 1 Math Book = 810*2/3 = 540Rs.
&, CP of 1 Science Book = 540-220= 320Rs.
MP of 1 Science book = 320*3/2 = 480Rs.
