Solution:

Q1.
In January, watches sold at
25% Discount = 100 × 0.4 = 40,
10% Discount = x,
20% Discount = 60 – x

Total Discount
= 1000 × [40 × 0.25 + x × 0.1 + (60 – x) × 0.2] = 18000
10 + 0.1x + 12 – 0.2x = 18
0.1x = 4
x = 40
Watches sold at
10% Discount : 20% Discount = 2 : X = 40 : (60 – 40) = 40 : 20 = 2 : 1
X=1

Q2.
In March, watches sold at
25% Discount = 160 × 0.50 = 80,
10% Discount = x,
20% Discount = 80 – x
Discount on 20% – Discount on 10% = 1000
1000 × [(80 – x) × 0.2 – x × 0.1] = 1000
16 – 0.2x – 0.1x = 1
0.3x = 15
x = 50
Watch sold at,
25% Discount: 20% Discount = 80 : (80 – 50) = 80 : 30 = 8 : 3
Q3.
In April, Amount of Discount = (41000 – 31000) + 33000 = 43000 Rs.
Watches sold in April = x
1000 × x × (0.4 × 3/8 × 0.1 + 0.4 × 5/8 × 0.2 + 0.6 × 0.25) = 43000
x × (0.015 + 0.05 + 0.15) = 43
x × 0.215 = 43
x = 200

Q4.
In February, watches sold at, 20% Discount – 10% Discount
= 150 × 0.7 × (11 – 10)/21 = 5
In May, watches sold at,
25% Discount = 200 × 0.5 = 100,
10% Discount = x,
20% Discount = 100 – x
Total Discount = 1000 × [x × 0.1 + (100 – x) × 0.2 + 100 × 0.25] = 41000
0.1x + 20 – 0.2x + 25 = 41
0.1x = 4
x = 40
In May, watches sold at,
20% Discount – 10% Discount = (100 – 40) – 40 = 20
Required % = (20 – 5)/20 × 100 = 75%

Q5.
In May, Watch sold at,
25% Discount = 200 × 0.5 = 100, 10% Discount = x, 20% Discount = 100 – x
Discount on 20% – Discount on 10% = 8000
1000 × [(100 – x) × 0.2 – x × 0.1] = 8000
20 – 0.2x – 0.1x = 8
0.3x = 12
x = 40
Phone sold at, 25% Discount : 20% Discount = 100 : (100 – 40) = 100 : 60 = 5 : 3

odd number, then the ratio of the number of people visited to meet Akshay and
Bharat is 11 : 4 respectively.

(2) If both the sum of the digits of M and the sum of the digits of N is an odd
number then the percentage break – up of the number of people visited to meet
Akshay , Bharat and Sanjay is 40%, 50% and 10% respectively.

(3) If both the sum of the digits of M and the sum of the digits of N is an even
number then the ratio of the number of people visited to meet Bharat and Sanjay
is 2 : 3 respectively.

(4) If the sum of the digits of M is an odd number and sum of the digits of N is an
even number then the percentage break – up of the number of people visited to

4. D
5. B

Solution:
By Company A, Production in December = 1900 × 3 – (2000 + 1800) = 1900
Increase in sell in January = 40/3 + 20/3 = 60/3 = 20%
Unsold laptop in December = 1900 – 1200/1.2 = 1900 – 1000 = 900
Unsold laptop in December & April, by Company A = 900 + 200 = 1100
Required % = 1100/1900 × 100 = 1100/19%

Q1.
85 + 60 + (1010 – 15x) = 3 × 405/3
1155 – 15x = 405
15x = 750
x = 50
Number of kids visited Country C to meet Akshay = 11 × 50 × 32/55 = 320
% = 320/360 × 100 = 88.88%

Q2.
N = 300 + 375 = 675 = (170 + 595) – 90
Average people visited country A & E to meet Sanjay = (85 + 75)/2 = 80

Q3.
800 – 5y = 300
5y = 500
y = 100
11x = 300 × 11/6
x = 50
People visited Country C to meet Bharat – People visited Country D to meet
Bharat
= 4 × 50 – 2 × 100 = 0

Q4.
People visited Country E to meet Sanjay = 75

Q5.
Total Kids = 350 + 150 + 360 + 380 + 250 = 1490
Total Adults = 500 + 450 + 650 + 420 + 500 = 2520
% = 1490/2520 × 100 = 59.12%

Solutions:

Share of, Jodha = 5x Rs. , Shakir = 6x Rs. , Rana = 4x Rs.

4x × 0.8 × (1.52 – 1) – 5x × 0.8 × 0.2 × 4 = 3200
3.2x × 1.25 – 3.2x = 3200
0.25x = 1000
x = 4000 Rs.
X = (5 + 6 + 4) × 4000 = 15 × 4000 = 60000 Rs.
6 × 2000 × (1 + Y/100) = 6 × 2000 × 1.2 + 1200
10 × (1 + Y/100) = 10 × 1.2 + 1
10 + Y/10 = 12 + 1
Y/10 = 13 – 10
Y = 3 × 10 = 30
Interest received by Jodha = 3.2 × 4000 × 1.25 = 16000 Rs.
Interest received by Rana = 3.2 × 4000 = 12800 Rs.
Sum obtained by Shakir = 6 × 4000 × 1.2 = 28800 Rs.
Profit Ratio, A : B : C = (160 × 12) : (128 × 12) : (288 × 6) = 10 : 8 : 9
Total Profit = Z = 9000 × 27/9 = 27000 Rs.
Q1.

Required % = (28800 – 27000)/28800 × 100 = 6.25% Less

Q2.

X – Z = 60000 – 27000 = 33000

Q3.

SI received by Shakir = 6 × 4000 × 0.75 × 0.2 × 3 = 10800 Rs.

Q4.

Z : (2Z – 36) = 27000 : (2 × 27000 – 3600) = 27000 : 50400 = 15 : 28

Now, a is correct as 4*31 = 124, b is incorrect as on dividing by 13 the remainder

is not 0, c is correct as the remainder is 127 which is odd.

Q2. ->
X= -6
Y= 3, 4/5
So, 𝑥 < 𝑦

Q3 ->
X= 666.66
Y= 720
So, 𝑥 < 𝑦
Q4. Pattern is of double difference,
51, 55, 64, 80, 105
55-51 = 4 (22)
64-55 = 9 (32)
80-64 = 16
Similarly 700 is the 12th term

Q5 ->
Pattern is of double difference,
4, 21, (Q), 61, 84, 109
21-4 = 17
40-21 = 19
61-40 = 21
Here numbers are increasing in odd number differences.
Thus 264 is the 11th term

5. E

Solution:
Q1 ->
Before proceeding with the question we should know that, since length of a pole
is negligible, the time taken to cross a pole is considered time taken by a train to
cross its own length.
From the passage we can state that the Train P covers its own length in 9 seconds
and Train P covers its own length +length of platform X in 20 seconds. So it covers
length of Platform X in (20-9) = 11 seconds.
Thus we can say ratio of speeds = ratio of length (as speed is constant)
So length of train P: length of platform X = 9:11
Statement I – the data in this statement is already given in the question.
Hence Statement I is not sufficient. It’s a Redundant Statement.
Statement II = here the difference of lengths is given and we know from the
question the ratio of lengths so, we have
11u – 9u = 60
1u = 30
So length of platform X= 11*30 = 330m & length of train P = 270 m
So speed is = (330+270)/20 = 30m/s
Time to cross platform of length 240m is = (270+240)/30 = 17 seconds
So Statement II is alone sufficient.
Statement III –
We know Train P covers its own length + length of Platform P in 20 sec
And Train P covers its own length + length of bridge in 22 sec
So to cover the extra distance i.e. Length of Bridge – Length of Platform x, Train p
takes 2 seconds at a constant speed.
So 60 m is covered in 2 seconds, thus Speed of Train P is (60/2) = 30 m/s.
Length of train P = speed * time taken to cross a pole = 30*9 = 270 m
Time to cross platform of length 240m is = (270+240)/30 = 17 seconds
So Statement III is alone sufficient.
Thus Statement II alone And Statement III alone are sufficient.

Q2->Let slant height of cone be L, radius of cone be R and radius of cylinder be r

and height of cylinder be h
Given,
22/7*(R)*L – 2*22/7* (r)*h = 64 *22/7 ---- (Equation I)
[Now we know L has to be a natural number as the equation above contains no
root, as L2 = R2 + h2.]
From Option I
R = 10u and L = 13u and r = 12u
Method 1:
L: R = 13:10
So h2 = 132 – 102 = 69 – which is not a perfect square.
So option I is not correct.
Method 2: (putting values in Equation I)
22/7*10u*13u – 2*22/7 * 12u * [(13u)2 –(10u)2]1/2 = 64*22/7
Here again we won’t get a numerical value of h as a natural number.
So I is not correct.

Similarly checking option B and D are also not correct,

But from option c we have
L = 5u, R = 4u, so r = 6u
h = [25-16] ½ = 91/2 = 3u
Thus,
22/7*4u*5u – 2*22/7 * 6u *3u = 64*22/7
22/7 [20u2-36u2] =64*22/7
16u2= 64
U2 = 4
U=2
So, Volume of cylinder = 22/7*r2 * h = 22/7 *(12)2 * 6 = 22/7*144*6 = 22/7*864
Thus option C is correct.

Q3-4) ->
Punit Pratham Purvi
Investment 10 : 15 : 16
Time (m+4) : (m) : (m-2)
Profit Ratio 10m+40 : 15m : 16m-32
And Pratham also receives 2000 each year, so he gets (2000m) in addition to his
profit share.
Now with the given share of Pratham and Gross Profit we could determine the
value of m through an equation , but that would be a lengthy process, instead we
check some values of m, where m>2 (as Purvi invested for m-2 years and time
cannot be negative or 0).
If m =3, then
Ratio of time will be – Punit: Pratham: Purvi = 7:3:1
Profit ratio= Punit: Pratham: Purvi = (10*7): (15*3): (16*1) = (70:45:16)
And salary of Pratham as accountant will be = 2000*3 = Rs.6000
Now, Net Profit = 86000-6000 = Rs. 80000
And Profit share of Pratham should be
80000*45/131 +6000 = 27480.91 +6000 = 33840.91
And Profit share of Purvi should be
80000*16/131 =9770.99
Difference is not equal to Rs.21000
After checking for m=4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
We get from m= 8
Profit Ratio = 5:5:4
And net Profit = 70000
Checking we get,
Profit share of Pratham should be = 70000*5/14 + 16000 = 41000
Profit share of Purvi should be = 70000*4/14 = 20000
Difference = 21000 Rs.
Q3 -> Profit share of Punit is = 70000*5/14 = 25000Rs.
Q4 -> Required % = [(25000+41000) – (41000+20000)]/2
=5000/2 = 2500 Rs.
Q5. From (I), Upstream Speed = x km/h, Downstream Speed = y km/h
460/x + 460/y = 46
1/x + 1/y = 1/10
From (II), y = 50, x = (50 × 10)/(50 – 10) = 12.5 km/h
From (III), x = 25/2 = 12.5, y = (12.5 × 10)/(12.5 – 10) = 50 km/h
Speed of Stream = (50 – 12.5)/2 = 18.75 km/h
Either I & II or I & III are sufficient
