1. Answer: Option D 7. Answer: Option E
Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present The word 'LEADING' has 7 different letters.
age = (x + 24) years. Required number of ways = 7! = 5040.
(x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2)
x + 26 = 2x + 4 8. Answer: Option D
x = 22. We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.
Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.
2. Answer: Option B Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2.
Angle traced by hour hand in 17/2 hrs = 360/12 x 17/2 =
255°. 9. Answer: Option B
Angle traced by min. hand in 30 min. = 360/60 x 30° = 180°. Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y.
Required angle = (255 - 180)° = 75°. Then, (10x + y) - (10y + x) = 36
9(x - y) = 36
3. Answer: Option B x - y = 4.
For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.
Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030. 10. Answer: Option C
Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and
x 3) Rs. 3x respectively.
= 39000 : 42000 : 30000 Then, 4x - 3x = 1000
= 13 : 14 : 10 x = 1000.
B's share = Rs. 7030 x 14/37 = Rs. 2660. B's share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 x 1000) = Rs. 2000.

4. Answer: Option A 11. Answer: Option C

Suppose, first pipe alone takes x hours to fill the tank .
Then, second and third pipes will take (x -5) and (x - 9)
hours respectively to fill the tank.
1/x + 1/(x - 5) = 1/(x - 9)
x - 5 + x / x(x - 5) = 1/(x - 9)
(2x - 5)(x - 9) = x(x - 5)
x2 - 18x + 45 = 0
(x - 15)(x - 3) = 0
x = 15. [neglecting x = 3]

12. Answer: Option B

5. Answer: Option A

13. Answer: Option C

6. Answer: Option D A : B = 60 : 45.
Let the speed of two trains be 7x and 8x km/hr. A : C = 60 : 40.
Then, 8x = 400/4 = 100 B/C = B/A x A/c = 45 / 60 x 60/40 = 45 / 40 = 90/80
x = 100 / 8= 12.5 B can give C 10 points in a game of 90.
Speed of first train = (7 x 12.5) km/hr = 87.5 km/hr.
14. Answer: Option C

In two throws of a dice, n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36. x = 6 x 21
Let E = event of getting a sum ={(3, 6), (4, 5), (5, 4), (6, 3)}. 14
P(E) =4/36 = 1/9 x = 9.

15. Answer: Option C 21. Answer: Option A

22. Answer: Option C

16. Answer: Option B 3x - y = 27 = 33 x - y = 3 ....(i)
Explanation: 3x + y = 243 = 35 x + y = 5 ....(ii)
(a) Since loga a = 1, so log10 10 = 1. On solving (i) and (ii), we get x = 4.

(b) log (2 + 3) = log 5 and log (2 x 3) = log 6 = log 2 + log 3 23. Answer: Option A
N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305)
log (2 + 3) log (2 x 3)
= H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120.
(c) Since loga 1 = 0, so log10 1 = 0. Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

(d) log (1 + 2 + 3) = log 6 = log (1 x 2 x 3) = log 1 + log 2 + log 24. Answer: Option A
3. Let the average age of the whole team by x years.
So, (b) is incorrect. 11x - (26 + 29) = 9(x -1)
11x - 9x = 46
2x = 46
17. Answer: Option C x = 23.
Man's rate in still water = (15 - 2.5) km/hr = 12.5 km/hr. So, average age of the team is 23 years.
Man's rate against the current = (12.5 - 2.5) km/hr = 10
km/hr. 25. Answer: Option C
On 31st December, 2005 it was Saturday.
18. Answer: Option D Number of odd days from the year 2006 to the year 2009 =
Let the speed of the boat in still water be x kmph. Then, (1 + 1 + 2 + 1) = 5 days.
Speed downstream = (x + 3) kmph, On 31st December 2009, it was Thursday.
Speed upstream = (x - 3) kmph. Thus, on 1st Jan, 2010 it is Friday.
(x + 3) x 1 = (x - 3) x 3/2
2x + 6 = 3x - 9
x = 15 kmph.

19. Answer: Option A

Let the required weight be x kg.
Less weight, Less cost (Direct Proportion)
250 : 200 :: 60 : x => 250 x x = (200 x 60)
x= (200 x 60)/250
x = 48.

20. Answer: Option B

Let the required number of revolutions made by larger
wheel be x.
Then, More cogs, Less revolutions (Indirect Proportion)
14 : 6 :: 21 : x 14 x x = 6 x 21
