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

19.

(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.

The pattern that follows,

Similarly,

10 | P a g e

Therefore, QSU is the right answer

33.

Here, G represents both mobile and phone, but not landline.

Hence, the answer is option 2.

34.

On observing the above diagram, we found that K is granddaughter of H.

35.

The pattern followed here is:

First column – second column = third column

7 – 4 = 3

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.

Clearly, Rohit is in between Ashwin and Dhoni.

50.

Hence, 1 is the correct answer.

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

'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.

succeed.' Thus option 3 is the correct

answer.

Example: My sister had applied for the

post of manager in a big project, but did

not cut the mustard.

83.

The idiom 'on the ball' means 'aware of

and quick to respond to new ideas and

methods'. Thus option 4 is the correct

answer.

84.

The correct word here is 'confidence'

which means 'the feeling or belief that

one can have faith in or rely on someone

or something'. Talking alone to the

Principal can make anyone nervous. It is

not about sense or intelligence thus

option 1 and 2 are incorrect. Option 4

too does not make any sense here.

85.

The only word that can fit here is

'barring' which means 'except for.' Thus

option 2 is the correct answer. The other

words cannot make any sense here. The

word 'hindering' means 'obstructing'.

86.

The meanings of the words are:

Baleful=> deadly; threatening

Illicit=> forbidden by law, rules, or

custom.

Menacing=> threatening

Jocose=> giving to joking

21 | P a g e

food) in a marinade.

92.

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.

95.

The word 'warned' makes it clear that

the word in the blank must convey a

negative meaning thus option 1 fits here

correctly. Option 2 does not make any

sense here. Option 3 would be incorrect

here. Option 4 again makes no sense

here.

96.

The correct preposition would be 'of' as

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

prepositions do not make any sense

here.

23 | P a g e

97.

The correct tense here would be present

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.

The correct words are:

Vitiate=> destroy

Meddle=> interfere

Illusion=> an instance of a wrong or

misinterpreted perception of a sensory

experience.

continue indefinitely.
