ANSWER WITH EXPLANATION

1. Answer: A The total number of valid votes got by the

Let the total number of flowers sold = 100x winning candidate = x + 300
Number of roses sold = 100x * 40/100 = 40x x + 300 + x = 2700
Number of lilies sold = 100x * 60/100 = 60x 2x = 2400
Number of red colour flowers sold = 45x x = 1200
Number of white colour flowers sold = 55x The total number of votes got by the winning
Number of red colour roses sold = 45x * candidate = 1200 + 300 = 1500
40/100 = 18x
18x = 180 4. Answer: A
x = 10 Length of rectangle = 75 m
Number of lilies sold = 60 * 10 = 600 Breadth = 56/100 * 75 = 42 m
Radius of circle will be half of the shortest side
2. Answer: C of rectangle = 21
Let the total number of questions = 100x Area of circle = 22/7 * r2
Number of questions attended by Sarika = = 22/7 * 21 * 21
100x * 80/100 = 80x = 1386 m2
Number of questions answered correctly by
Sarika = 80x * 60/100 = 48x 5. Answer: E
Number of questions answered incorrectly by Let first, second and third integer be x, y and z
Sarika = 80x – 48x = 32x respectively
48x * 2 – 32x * 0.5 = 80 3x = 4 + z
96x – 16x = 80 x = (z + 4)/3
x=1 y=z–3
Total number of questions = 100 * 1 = 100 x + y + z = 31
(z + 4)/3 + z – 3 + z = 31
3. Answer: D 7z – 5 = 93
The total number of people casted their votes = z = 14
900 * 80/(100-80) = 3600 y = 11
The total number of valid votes = 3600 * (100- x=6
25)/100 = 2700
The total number of valid votes got by the loser 6. Answer: C
candidate = x Let the total number of students in school B = x

And the total number of students in school A = Let the salary of Balu be 100x
x * 125/100 = 5x/4 Amount spent on rent = 22x
And the total number of students in school C = Remaining = 100 – 22x = 78x
x * 110/100 = 11x/10 Amount spent on entertainment = 78x *
New ratio of the total number of students in 33.33/100 = 26x
schools A to C = 80:100 = 4:5 Amount used as savings = 78x * 40/100 =
(5x/4 – 50)/(11x/10 + 30) = 4/5 31.2x
25x/4 – 250 = 44x/10 + 120 Amount spent on food = 78x – 26x – 31.2x =
125x – 88x = 370 * 20 20.8x
37x = 7400 Monthly income of Balu = 3120 * 100/20.8 =
x = 200 Rs.15000
The total number of students in school B = 200 Annual income of Balu = 15000 * 12 =
Rs.180000
7. Answer: D
(x * (100 + y)/100 – x)/(x * (100 + y + 10)/100 – 9. Answer: C
x) = 3/4 Let A’s income = Rs.100x
(x * ((100 + y)/100 – 1))/(x * ((110 + y)/100 – 1)) A’s expenditure on food and clothing = Rs.18x
= 3/4 A’s expenditure on transport = Rs.22x
((100 + y – 100)/100)/((110 + y – 100)/100) = A’s expenditure on daughter education =
3/4 Rs.40x
y/(y + 10) = 3/4 Savings = 100-80=Rs.20x
4y = 3y + 30 20x = 18600
y = 30% 100x = 93000
Profit% at which the shop keeper sold the ring A’s income = Rs.93000
= 30 + 10 = 40%
SP = CP x (100 + P)/100 10. Answer: E
Or, 7140 = Y x 140/100 Let the CP of 1st bicycle be Y
Y = Rs. 5100 And the CP of 2nd bicycle be Z
CP of 2nd bicycle, CP of 1st bicycle,
SP = CP x (100 – L)/100 And, total SP of two bicycle = Rs. (7140 +
Or, 7140 = Z x 85/100 7140) = Rs. 14280
Z = Rs. 8400 So, overall profit % = 780/13500 x 100 = 5.77%
Thus, total CP of two bicycle = Rs. (5100 +
8400) = Rs. 13500
