1. (B) : Let the number be x. Number of bound contains 20 books = 1
1
11x 5 Number of bounds contains 160 books = × 160 = 8
Then, = x + 192 20
5 11 Therefore value of x = 8
11x 5 x
⇒ - = 192 5. (C) : Let total number of passengers in the ship = x
5 11
7
121x - 25 x \ Total number of adults in the ship = x
⇒ = 192 12
55 7
⇒ 96x = 192 × 55 and number of childrens in the ship = x − x
12
192 × 55
⇒ x= = 110 12 x − 7 x 5
96 = = x

20 6. (A) : Total number of pupils in the school read at least 2
=9 storybooks
3. (A) : We have, = Number of pupils in the school read 2, 3 and 4 storybooks
Weight of container + weight of 50 indentical balls = 750 g = 400 + 150 + 100 = 650
⇒ Weight of container = 750 g – weight of 50 balls …(i) Total number of pupils in the school
Also, weight of container + weight of 30 balls = 510 g = 250 + 350 + 400 + 150 + 100 = 1250
⇒ Weight of container = 510 g – weight of 30 balls 650 13
\ Required fraction = =
⇒ 750 g – weight of 50 balls = 510 g – weight of 30 balls 1250 25
[using (i)]
7. (B) : The digit in the hundred's place = 2
⇒ (750 – 510)g = Weight of 20 balls
The digit in one's place = 2(2) = 4
⇒ Weight of 20 balls = 240 g
Since, the number has no thousands
240
⇒ Weight of 1 balls = = 12 g \ The digit in the thousand's place = 0
20 The digit in the ten thousand's place = 2 + 4 = 6
4. (D) : Number of pages contains 50 lines = 1 The digit in the ten's place = 6 – 1 = 5
1 Thus, required number = 60254
Number of pages contains 50 lakh lines = × 5000000
50
= 100000 8. (D) :
Also, number of chapters contains 125 pages = 1 line of symmetry
Number of chapters contains 100000 pages
1
= × 100000
125
9. (A) : Cost of 12 chairs + cost of 15 tables = ` 58968
= 800
⇒ 3(Cost of 4 chairs + cost of 5 tables) = ` 58968
and Number of books contains 5 chapters = 1 58968
1 ⇒ Cost of 4 chairs + cost of 5 tables = `
Number of books contains 800 chapters = × 800 = 160 3
5 = ` 19656

10. (C) : Let age of mother =x years 17. (B) : Let number of dolls made by Rupali on the first day
Age of father = (x + 5) years =x
And age of mother = 3(age of her daughter) Number of dolls made by her on the second day = x + 2
x Number of dolls made by her on the third day = x + 2 + 2
\ Age of daughter = years
3 =x+4
Also, age of daughter = 10 years Number of dolls made by her on the fourth day = x + 4 + 2
x =x+6
⇒ = 10 ⇒ x = 30
3 Since, total number of dolls made by her = 24
\ Present age of father = (x + 5) years \ x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 = 24
= (30 + 5) years = 35 years ⇒ 4 x + 12 = 24
and age of father when the daughter was born ⇒ 4 x = 12
= (35 – 10) years = 25 years ⇒ x=3
11. (A) : Since, price of first 6 cupcakes = ` (6 × 25) = ` 150 \ Number of dolls made by her on the last day
=x+6=3+6=9
and price for additional cupcakes = ` 20
Total amount of money Babita had = ` 100 18. (C) : Amount of money earned by Ritu in one month
100 = ` 25000
\ Greatest number of cupcakes she can buy is =4
25 Amount of money earned by her in 5 months = ` (5 × 25000)
12. (D) : Let three consecutive even numbers are x, x + 2 and = ` 125000
x+4 Amount of money saved by her in 5 months
Now, Sum of numbers = 126 = ` (600 + 300 + 400 + 100 + 400)
⇒ x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 126 = ` 1800
⇒ 3 x + 6 = 126 ⇒ Amount of money spent by her in 5 months
⇒ 3 x = 126 – 6 = 120 = ` (125000 – 1800)
120 = ` 123200
⇒ x= = 40
3 19. (D) : The factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4 and 8
Numbers are 40, 42 and 44 The factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16
1
\ Required difference = 2(40) – (44) Common factors of 8 and 16 are 1, 2, 4 and 8.
2 Now, common multiple of 2 and 8 are, 8, 16, 24, …
= 80 – 22 = 58
Therefore value of x is 8
13. (C) : Time shown by Peter's watch = 3:00 p.m.
20. (D) : We have the number 40042332
Time that it will show 5 hours later = 8:00 p.m.
Since, the digit at units place is 2 that is even.
But his watch gains 10 minutes every hour.
The number is divisible by 2
Total time gain in 5 hours = 50 minutes
Sum of digits = 4 + 0 + 0 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 18
Therefore time that his watch will show 5 hours later is
Which is divisible by 9. So, number is divisible by 9.
8:50 p.m.
Sum of digits at odd places = 4 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 9
14. (A) : Since, 10000 + 1 > 10000 × 1 and sum of digits at even places
⇒ 10001 > 10000 =0+4+3+2=9
\ Required number is 1. Now, difference = 9 – 9 = 0
15. (B) : Two sides of a triangle are (2k – 2) cm and (k + 6) cm. \ Number is divisible by 11.
Since, k = 5, so, two sides are (2 × 5 – 2) i.e., 8 cm and 21. (B) : Perimeter of the shaded region H G D C
(5 + 6) i.e., 11 cm. = AB + BC + CD + DE + EF + FG
Also, sum of the sides of a triangle = (4k + 3) cm + GH + HA 28 cm
⇒ 8 + 11 + length of third side = (4 × 5 + 3) = AB + BC + (CD + GH) + DE + EF
⇒ Length of third side = (23 – 19) cm = 4 cm + FG + HA F E
16. (D) : Let the length of the rectangle = x unit = (38 + 38 + 10 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 38) cm A B
38 cm
and breadth of the rectangle = y unit = 208 cm
\ Area of the rectangle = xy sq. units 1
22. (C) : We have, AB = 3BC ⇒ BC = AB
According to question, Area of square = AB × AB sq. units 3
New length of rectangle = 2x unit 1
y and area of triangle = × BC × AB
and new breadth of rectangle = unit 2
2 1 1 1
y = × × AB × AB = × AB × AB sq. units
\ New area of rectangle = 2x × = xy sq. units 2 3 6
2 1

Thus, area of original rectangle and area of new rectangle 1

26. (A) : Total number of picture cards Roshni had = 250 31. (B) : Since number of legs of all ducks = 22
and total number of picture cards Rupal had = 210 \ 2 × number of ducks = 22
Let x be the number of cards that Roshni gave to Rupal. 22
According to question, ⇒ Number of ducks = = 11
2
4(250 – x) = 210 + x Also, 4 × number of cats + 2 × number of ducks = 34
1000 – 4x = 210 +x ⇒ 4 × number of cats + 2 × 11 = 34
1000 – 210 = 4x +x ⇒ 4 × number of cats = 34 – 22
⇒ 790 = 5x 12
790 ⇒ number of cats = =3
