1.
∵ sin 2A = 2 sin A cos A
⇒ sin A cos A = (sin 2A)/2
Now,
5(sin A cos3 A + sin3 A cos A)3 – 2 sin3 A
cos3 A
⇒ 5[sin A cos A (cos2 A + sin2 A)]3 – 2
(sin A cos A)3
⇒ 5(sin A cos A)3 – 2(sin A cos
A)3 [∵ (cos2 A +
sin2 A) = 1]
⇒ 3(sin A cos A)3
⇒ 3[(sin 2A)/2]3
⇒ (3/8) sin3 2A
∴ Comparing, we get, x = 3/8
2.
Let, A’s capital = Rs. x
B’s capital = Rs. Y
C’s capital = Rs. z
According to problem,
⇒ 8x = 10y = 12z
∴ 8x = 10y
⇒ y = 4x/5
∴ 8x = 12z
⇒ z = 2x/3
∴ Ratio of capital of A, B and C
⇒ x ∶ 4x/5 ∶ 2x/3
⇒ 15 ∶ 12 ∶ 10
∴ Share of C in the profit,
⇒ 5180 × 10/37
⇒ Rs. 1400
3.
Let the non zero number be x and its
reciprocal be 1/x
From the given data sum of the non –
zero number and twice its reciprocal is
33/4
⇒ x + 2/x = 33/4
⇒ x2 + 2 = 33x/4
⇒ 4x2 + 8 = 33x
3 | P a g e
⇒ 4x2 - 33x + 8 = 0
⇒ 4x2 - 32x - x + 8 = 0
⇒ 4x(x - 8) - 1(x - 8) = 0
⇒ (4x – 1)(x - 8) = 0
∴ x = ¼ and x = 8
4.
Let the milkman buy x litre of milk at
20 per ltr
⇒ Cost Price = 20x
⇒ Adds 1/3 of water to it so quantity = x
+ (x/3) = 4x/3
⇒ Selling Price = 24 × (4x/3) = (96x/3)
⇒ Gain % = (SP - CP) × (100/CP)
⇒ Gain % = {(96x/3) - 20x} × (100/20x)
⇒ Gain % = (3600x)/60x
∴ Gain % = 60%
5.
Using the formula,
(100 + G)/100 = True weight/False
weight, where G is the gain percentage
⇒ (100 + G)/100 = 1000/920
⇒ 100 + G = 108.7
∴ Gain Percent = 8.7%
6.
As we know, the compound ratio of
ratios (a ∶ c) and (b ∶ d) is (ab ∶ cd)
Hence, we have,
⇒ 1 ∶ (x + y)(x - y) = 1 ∶ y2
⇒ 1 ∶ (x2 - y2) = 1 ∶ y2
⇒ y2 = x2 - y2
⇒ 2y2 = x2
⇒ x2/y2 = 2
⇒ x/y =√2

7.
Here, KM is length of the bridge
QR is width of the ricer
In ∆PQD
tan 45° = PD/QD
⇒ 1 = 9/QD
⇒ QD = 9 meter
In ∆PDR
tan 60° = PD/DR
⇒ √3 = 9/DR
⇒ DR = 3√3
∵ QR = QD + DR
⇒ QR = 9 + 3√3 = 3√3(√3 + 1) meter
∴ Width of the ricer QR is 3√3(√3 + 1)
meter.
Short Trick:
Taking all these arms of the following
figure in ratio
𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑄𝑄𝑃𝑃
=11
&𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝑃𝐷𝐷
=√31
QD : PD : DR = √3 : √3 : 1
∵ √3 unit = 9 meter
⇒ 1 unit = 9/√3
So, QR = (√3 + 1) unit = 3√3(√3 + 1)
8.
Square roots of numbers of the form 123
... n ... 321 = 111 ... up to n digits where n
≤ 9
⇒ √121 + √12321 + √1234321 +
√123454321 = 11 + 111 + 1111 + 11111 =
12344
∴ The value is 12344
9.
Average of numbers = Sum of numbers/
Total numbers
(18 + 20 + 32 + 8 + x + 9 + 13)/7 = 17
100 + x = 119 ⇒ x = 19
5 | P a g e
10.
12% of x = 9
⇒ 12/100 × x = 9
⇒ x = 900/12
∴ x = 75
11.
Let Hari’s salary be ‘x’
⇒ Geeta’s salary = 9x/5
⇒ Shalu’s salary = 9x/2
∴ Ratio of Geeta’s to shalu’s salary =
((9x/5) /(9x/2) ) = 2/5
∴ 2 : 5
12.
X4 – 1 = (X2)2 – (1)2
⇒ (X2 – 1) (X2 + 1)
⇒ (X2 – 12) (X2 + 1)
⇒ (X – 1) (X + 1) (X2 + 1) ...(1)
X4 + 5X2 + 4
⇒ X4 + X2 + 4X2 + 4
⇒ X2 (X2 + 1) + 4(X2 + 1)
⇒ (X2 + 1) (X2 + 4) ...(2)
Common factor from both the eq. (1)
and (2)
∴ HCF = (X2 + 1)
13.
Given, a - b = 3 and ab = 28
a3 - b3
= (a - b)3 + 3ab(a - b)
= (3)3 + 3 × 28 × (3)
= 27 + 252
= 279.
14.
Let the principal be Rs. P.
Simple interest = (Principal × Rate ×
Time)/100 = (P × 10 × 2)/100 = 0.2P =
4000
∴ P = Rs. 20000
6 | P a g e
C’I at the same rate for same period =
Principal{(1 + Rate%)Time - 1}
= 20000 {(1 + 0.1)2 - 1} = 20000{1.21 -
1} = 4200
Difference in interests = Rs. (4200 -
4000) = Rs. 200
15.
Since, they walk in the opposite
direction, relative speed = 65.8 + 56.4 =
122.2 kmph
Distance between them in one hour is
122.2 km
Distance between them after 3 hours 20
minutes i.e. 103
hours = 122.2 × 103
=
407.33
16.
Speed of boat in still water =B = 12
km/hr
Speed of current = C = 3 km/hr
Speed of boat upstream = B - C = 12 - 3
= 9 km/hr
Speed of boat downstream = B + C = 12
+ 3 = 15 km/hr
Let the distance travelled be D km
Speed = distance/time
⇒ time = distance/speed
Tame taken in upstream = D/9
Time taken in downstream = D/15
Difference in time taken = 4 hours
⇒ Tame taken in upstream - Time taken
in downstream=4 hours
⇒ D/9 - D/15 = 4
⇒ (2/45)D = 4
⇒ D = 90 km
17.
Let B’s one-day work = 1/x
As A is twice as efficient as B, he will
take half of the time to complete the
work
Let A’s one-day work = 2/x
A and B ‘s one day work together = 1/x +
2/x
7 | P a g e
Total time taken by A and B to complete
the work = 48
A and B ‘s one-day work = 1/48
1/x + 2/x = 1/48 ⇒ x = 48 × 3 = 144
A can do work in = x/2 = 144/2 = 72
days

(x, y) is equidistance from (6, -1) and (2,
3)
(x - 6)2 + (y + 1)2 = (x - 2)2 + (y - 3)2
X2 - 12x + 36 + y2 + 1 + 2y = x2 + 4 - 4x +
y2 + 9 - 6y
8x - 8y - 24 = 0
x - y = 3
20.
We know that for parallel lines m1 = m2
Slope of line x + 3y = 9
= −13
Equation of line with slope −13 and
passing through (2, 2) is
𝑦𝑦 − 2 = −13
(𝑥𝑥 − 2)
3y - 6 = -x + 2
x + 3y = 8
21.
Consider the figure as shown above,
The line passing through the centre of
circle is perpendicular bisector of chord
⇒ AE = AB/2 = 12/2 = 6 cm
⇒ OE = EF/2 = x/2
8 | P a g e
Consider ∆AOE,
AO2 = AE2 + OE2
⇒ AO = �62 + (x2)2
∴ 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 = �36 +𝑥𝑥2

22.
Total sales of all seven brands = 170 +
280 + 380 + 340 + 340 + 190 + 300 =
2000000
∴ Total tax to be paid = (12/100) ×
2000000 = 240000
23.
Sales of brand B = 280000
Sales of brand G = 300000
⇒ Difference = 300000 – 280000 =
20000
∴ Sales of brand B was lesser than that
of brand G by = (20000/300000) × 100
= 6.67%
24.
From the bar graph
Sales of A = 170000
Sales of E = 340000
∴ Ratio of the sales of E to A is 340000 ∶
170000 = 2 ∶ 1
25.
It is clear from the bar graph that the
second lowest sales of Television were
for brand F.
26
In the given options, tyre, steering and Sun are found in the round shape but the lake doesn’t have any definite shape.
Hence, ‘lake’ is the odd one.
27
Logic: Here ‘@’ means ‘+’ and ‘C’ means ‘-’.
The pattern followed here is:
15 @ 6 C 8 = 13 → 15 + 6 - 8 = 13
18 @ 12 C 15 = 15 → 18 + 12 - 15 = 15
9 | P a g e
Same pattern will be followed for '17 @ 14 C 13 = ?':
17 @ 14 C 13 → 17 + 14 - 13 = 18
Hence, the answer is 18.
28. Biologically, Banana is a fruit, while Ginger is a modified stem.
29. According to the alphabetical positions of the letters
1) E - B = 5 - 2 = 3; 3 × 2 = 6;
2) R - H = 18 - 8 = 10; 10 × 2 = 20;
3) X - I = 24 - 9 = 15; 15 × 2 = 30 ≠ 32;
4) N - J = 14 - 10 = 4; 4 × 2 = 8
Hence, 'X32I' is the odd one out.
30.
All alphabets in the set follows a different pattern with respect to the similar position alphabet in the other set.
With reference to English alphabet, each alphabet is one step ahead.
⇒ P + 1 = Q; Q + 1 = R; R + 1 = S; S + 1 = T
⇒ B + 1 = C; C + 1 = D; D + 1 = E; E + 1 = F
⇒ A + 1 = B; B + 1 = C; C + 1 = D; D + 1 =
E
Similarly, the next set in the series would be:
‘TFE’ after ‘SED’.
Hence, ‘TFE’ is the correct answer.
31.
From the given data we can write the values for ‘CAMP’ as
1) 31, 32, 02, 56: F A K E
2) 67, 86, 97, 98: F E T Y
3) 00, 12, 13, 01: F A C E
4) 23, 89, 68, 23: I N C I
Hence 00, 12, 13, 01 is the correct answer.
32.

1 – 5 = –4
Same pattern will be followed for missing number:
4 – 10 = ?
4 – 10 = –6
36.
From statement I: L is left to M and north to K.
11 | P a g e
It is clear that M is North - east to K.
Hence, statement I alone is sufficient.
From statement II: K is right to N.
From this statement we cannot conclude any direction between K and M.
From statement III: M is South of J.
From this statement we cannot conclude any direction between K and M.
Hence, only statement I is sufficient.
37.
The words have been coded as follow,
In FAN, F + A + N = 6 + 1 + 14 = 21 → 21 - 4 = 17
In TON, T + O + N = 20 + 15 + 14 = 49 → 49 - 4 = 45
Similarly,
In MAD, M + A + D = 13 + 1 + 4 = 18 → 18 - 4 = 14
Hence, the answer is 14.
38.
The tree will be of 2056 – 2012 = 44 years old in 2056.
Hence, the tree will be 44 years old in 2056.
39.
Here, the figure given in option 3 will complete the given figure.
40.
Here, the pattern followed is,
Hence, the correct answer is 21.
41.
Let’s check each option,
1) Scale → can be formed from INESCAPABLE
2) Plane → can be formed from INESCAPABLE
3) Escape → can be formed from INESCAPABLE
4) Lame → cannot be formed as there is no M in INESCAPABLE.
12 | P a g e
Hence word ‘Lame’ cannot be formed from the given word
42.
The pattern followed here is,
5432 = 5 + 4+ 3 + 2 = 14;
Similarly,
4807 = 4 + 8 + 0 + 7 = 19
Hence, '19' is the correct answer.
43.
From statement 1: N is not as tall as M but is taller than L.
M > N > L
Nothing about R is given so we can’t find the shortest.
From statement 2: M is not the tallest.
Nothing about others is given so we can’t find the shortest.
On combining 1 and 2:
M > N > L and M is not the tallest So R is tallest because the only R is left.
R > M > N > L
Hence, L is the shortest.
Clearly, both statements are necessary.
44
On arranging given word as per dictionary order,
3. Oracle
5. Orange
1. Orator
2.Orchid
4. Order
Hence, “3, 5, 1, 2, 4” is the correct arrangement as per they occur in the dictionary.
45.
Triangles in the given figure:
Hence, there are 12 triangles in the given figure.
Also, minimum of 8 lines are required to make the given figure.
46.
Two operations occur alternatively to get the next term.
7 – 8 = -1
-1 × (-2) = 2
13 | P a g e
2 – 8 = -6
-6 × (-2) = 12
12 – 8 = 4
4 × (-2) = -8
∴ The 6th term is 4
47.
In each pair of figure 1 and 2, the relationship is such that,
In option figure (1), both are containers.
In option figure (2), both are flowers.
In option figure (4), both are letters.
While in option figure (3), figure 1 is a book and figure 2 is a staircase.
Hence option figure (3) is the odd one.
48
The number 2 is constant in the sequence throughout.
The logic behind the letters is:
B + 4 = F; F + 4 = J; J + 4 = N; N + 4 = R
D + 4 = H; H + 4 = L; L + 4 = P; P + 4 = T
Hence, the next term will be RT2.
49.
Six players: Dhoni, Sachin, Kohli, Rohit, Rahane and Ashwin
1. Sachin is between Ashwin and Kohli.
2. Ashwin is to the immediate left of Rohit.
3. Dhoni is between Rahane and Rohit.

A Giffen good is a good for which
demand increases as the price increases,
and falls when the price decreases. A
Giffen good has an upward - sloping
demand curve, which is contrary to the
fundamental law of demand which
states that quantity demanded for a
product falls as the price increases,
resulting in a downward slope for the
demand curve.
18 | P a g e
A Giffen good is typically an inferior
product that does not have easily
available substitutes, as a result of which
the income effect dominates the
substitution effect. Giffen goods are
quite rare, to the extent that there is

The adjective if used in superlative form
'greatest' does not need 'most' or 'more'
to precede it. Thus option 1 is the correct
answer. Option 3 does not make any
sense.
79.
The correct tense here is simple future
as it talks about a situation that has not
happened yet. Thus option 2 is the
correct answer. The other options are
incorrect.
80.
The sentence is in active voice where the
verb expresses the action of subject
upon object. Thus to convert it into
passive voice:
Object + Helping Verb + Verb 3rd Form
+ By + Subject
The object 'portrait' should be written
before the subject 'her'. The tense is
simple past so the rule is:
Active voice: Subject+V2+Object
Passive Voice: Object
+was/were+V3+by+Subject
Thus option 3 is the correct answer.
81.
The word 'that' must be used here as the
words are written in indirect speech.
The correct tense would be past perfect
as the tense in direct speech is simple
past. In indirect speech, the pronouns
are changed too. Option 4 is the correct
answer.

not cut the mustard.
83.
The idiom 'on the ball' means 'aware of
and quick to respond to new ideas and

answer.
84.
The correct word here is 'confidence'
which means 'the feeling or belief that
one can have faith in or rely on someone

too does not make any sense here.

P cannot be the first statement as it does
not make sense here. R if used here the
sequence cannot be completed. Q
therefore is the first statement. R follows
it as it mentions the second part of the
sentence after 'and'. P follows R by
mentioning from where the people were
coming out. Thus option 3 is the correct
answer.
93. Q must be the first statement as it
mentions why the queen was happy. P
follows Q as the adjective 'little' is
followed by the noun 'princess'. R
follows P as it mentions whom the
princess was serving. Thus option 4 is
the correct answer.
94.
The verb 'remained' means 'continued to
exist' and conveys the correct meaning
here. The sentence mentions it remained
same for the third day. Thus the other
options do not make any sense here. Air
quality cannot be 'created' or 'modified'
thus option 1 and option 2 are incorrect
here.

the word in the blank must convey a
negative meaning thus option 1 fits here

sense here. Option 3 would be incorrect
here. Option 4 again makes no sense
here.
96.

'scale of' means 'out of'. The other

here.
23 | P a g e

perfect so option 2 is the correct answer.
The usage of future tense shows that
option 3 is incorrect here and the
situation is not yet over so 2 is the
correct choice. Option 4 is also
incorrect.
98.
The usage of the conjunction 'but' makes
it understood that the air quality would
decline thus 'deteriorate' is the correct
word here. Option 1 and 2 do not fit
here. The word 'ban' makes no sense as
it means 'officially or legally prohibit
(something).' Thus option 3 is the
correct answer.
99.
