SOLUTION

01 C: According to the question

Total weekly emoluments of the workers =Rs. 1534

Average weekly emolument of a worker =Rs.118

Average = sum of elements / no of elementsThusNo of workers = total salary / average

salaryNumber of workers = 1534/118 = 13.

02 C: According to question,75% of MP = 125% of CPNow 75 X MP = 125 X 200MP= 1000/3 = 333.33

03 D: According to questionQuantity of milk = = 40 liter.Quantity of water in it = (60 40) liters = 20

liters.New ratio = 1 : 2Let quantity of water to be added further

be x liters.Then, milk: water =

20 + x = 80x = 60.Quantity of water to be added = 60 liters.

04 D:Total cost price of 20 kg of mixed rice

Average per kg price = RS.

05 A: Let B's Salary is Rs. 100. Then,A's Salary = (100 + 25% of 100) = Rs. 125.Difference between A's Salary and B's Salary= 125 100 = Rs. 25.% Difference (lower) = (25/125) x100 = 20%

06 B: According to Question(2M+3W) Can do a work in 20 days, or(2M+3W) =4M2M=3W

1M = 3M =

3M+3W =Now,

6W×20= ×D D =

07 B: Average age of eleven cricket players is 20years

Total age of eleven cricket players is = 20 ×11 = 220

If the age of coach includes then theaverage age increase by 10%

= 20 + 10/100 × 20 = 22 yearsTotal age of eleven player and coach

= 22 × 12 = 264 yearAge of coach

= 264 – 220= 44 years

08 C: Total age of six people = 6A yearAfter five year when a child is born, thentotal age will be6A + 5(years) * 6(Members)= 6A + 30After a year again 6A + 30 + 7(6Members+1year of child)Now, total age of family = 6A+30+7= 7A

A=37years.

09 A: According to questionFraction value of following

percentage are30% =3/1020%= 1/510%= 1/1025% =1/415% = 3/20

Where numerator denotes discounted value andthe denominator represents original value

Now taking first discount.Original New10 75 410 9

500 252Difference= 500 252=248

Discount percentage = = 49.6%

Same way others discounts are 49%,46.45% and 42.62% respectively, whichshows discount of option [A] is better.

10 C: CP of each article= Rs. P/12 and SP = Rs. P/8Gain = P/8 P/12 = (3P 2P)/24 = P/24so Gain per cent = P/(24/(P/12)) ×100=50%

1. BAnnual salary of Man in 2007 is 880000which is 10% higher than his salary in2006.So his salary in 2006 would be:

=

2. BTake LCMof sumof d ratios and considerit as the total amount (of course the totalamount will be the multiple of sum ofratio, but then this way you get youranswer faster)

Here, the sum of d individual ratios are 9(4+5) and 6 (2+3+1)LCM of 9 and 6 = 54. (you can LCM ormultiply numbers for fast result. If youtake LCM it would give 18.)

So, considering 54 as the total amount,1st case, A's share was 24 and B's sharewas 302nd case A's share = 18,B's share = 27,C's share = 9Thus A's share reduces by 24 18 = 6,B's share reduces by 30 27 = 3Ratio = 6: 3 = 2: 1

3. BSum of odd numbers upto 100 = 1 + 3 +5 + 7 + 9 + .... + 93 + 95 + 97 + 99.Which can be grouped as =(1 + 99) + (3 +97) +(5 + 95) + (7 + 93) +..... upto 25times.Since there is 50 odd numbers they canbe grouped into 25 groups each groupcontaining 2 numbers.So sum of numbers 100 + 100 + 100 +100 + ....25 times will be 100 25 =2500.

Average of odd numbers upto 100 =(sum of the odd numbers upto 100) /total number of odd numbers= 2500 / 50 = 50

4. CAccording to question,Ratio of Income is 4 : 3Ratio of Expenditure is 3 : 2

Difference of income and expenditure is1 unit which is saving.So if value of 1 unit 60000 then incomeof A which is 4 unit Will be4x60000=240000

5. APutting successive change formulae

50+50+ = 125%

6. CLet number of horses = number of men= x.Then, number of legs = 4x + 2 * (x/2) =5x.So, 5x = 70 or x = 14.

7. AAverage money received by each =Rs.(4100 Paise/50) = 82 paise.

Boys paise Girls paise90 65

subtracting82

17 8Ration of boys and girls = 17:8Therefore,Number of boys = 50*(17/25) = 34.Number of girls = 50 – 34 = 16

8. BLet fathers age be 5xthen age of son will be 2xand according to question

5x × 2x =1000X2 = 100X= 10, Fathers age after 10 years will be5x+10= 5x10+10= 60 years.

9. CLet CP of the watch be Rs.x.Then, According to the question,75 (x*×/100)=xx2+15x 50x 7500=0x(x+150) 50(x+150)=0(x+150)*(x 50)=0x = Rs.50

10. BGiven, average age of 20 girls = 15 yrSum of ages = 15 × 20 = 300 yrSimilarly, sum of age of 25 boys= 25 × 24 = 600 yrNow, the average age of the two groups=(Sum of girl's ages+Sum ofboys'ages)/(Number of boys and girls)=(300+600)/(20+25)=900/45=20 years.

X : Y

4/7 2/5\ /

(Mean ratio)(1/2)

/ \

(1/2 – 2/5) : (4/7 – 1/2)

1/10 1/1 4

So Required ratio = X : Y = 1/10 : 1/14 =7:5

3. CLet x be the students who is tenth fromall ends.Since Boy is 10th from all ends he willhave 9 students ahead of him from allsidesTherefore,The number of students = 4*9 + 1 = 37.

5. BArea of the plot = 110 * 65 = 7150 sq.mArea of the plot excluding the path =(110 5)* (65 5) = 6300 sq.mArea of the path = 7150 6300 =850sq.mCost of gravelling the path = 850 x(80/100) = 680 rs

6. CLet us mix x kg of pure salt. Pure meansthe concentration is 100%Let the mount of salt in the newsolution be x kg.Now total solution is 30+x kg.Amount of salt in new solution =0.1(30+x) i.e. (10% salt.)Amount of salt in 30kg solution =(.02)30 kg i.e. ( 2% salt)

Salt added + salt in the previoussolution = salt in the new solutionx+.02(30) = (30+x) ( 0.1)x+0.6 =3+0.1x0.9x = 2.4x = 2.4/0.9 =2.67 kg. or

7. BLet the numbers be x, y and z. Then,x+ y = 10 ...(i)y + z = 19 ...(ii)x + z = 21 …(iii)Adding (i) ,(ii) and (iii), we get:2 (x + y + z ) = 50 or (x + y + z) = 25.Thus, x= (25 19) = 6; y = (25 21) = 4;z = (25 10) = 15.

Hence, the required numbers are 6, 4and 15.

8. CTake the ages one year back as 6X and7Xat present their ages are 6X+1 and 7X+1after 4 years from now their ages willbe 6X+5 and 7X+5then (6X+5)/(7X+5)=7/8=> 48X+40=49X+35=> X=5now sachin's age is 7x5+1=36

9. ALet the monthly salary of A, B, C be Rs.2x, Rs.3x and Rs. 5x respectively.Then, 5x 2x = 120000x = 40000B's monthly salary = 3x = Rs. 120000

10. ALet n(A) = no. of students pass inenglish

n(B) = no. of students pass inmath

n(AunionB) = no. of studentspass in either math or english

n(AintersectionB) = no.ofstudents pass in both math and english

let x are no. of studentsn(AunionB) = n(A) + n(B)

n(AintersectionB)= 80x/100 + 85x/100 75x/100= 90x/100

no. of students fail in both either mathor english = x n(AunionB)

A does 2/3 of work in 6 days

part of work finished by A in oneday = 2/18 = 1/9

B does 1/3 of job in 8 days

part of work finished by B in oneday = 1/24

C does 3/4 of job in 12 days

part of work finished by B in oneday = 1/16

Now, part of work done by all three inone day =1/9+1/24+1/16=31/144

Since all three work together for 4days, part of work finished in 4 days =4 × (31/144) = 31/36

Part of work remaining = 1 – (31/36) =5/36

Since B completes 1/24th part of workin one day,

Number of days taken to finish 5/36thpart of work=(536)124=536×24=103=3.33
