Solutions
1. A
Sol.

Difference in SP = 125-115= 10
Therefore, CP = 4800*100/10 = Rs.48000
Hence, option (A) is correct.
2. A
Sol. Let MP = Rs 4X
Discount = 1/4*4X = Rs X
Now, SP = 4X - X = Rs 3X
CP = 2/3 of 3X = Rs 2X
Ratio of CP : MP = 2X : 4X = 1:2
Hence, option (A) is correct.
3. A
Sol. Given that CPs are in the ratio 1:2.
Therefore let the CPs be Rs.100 & Rs. 200 respectively,
1st SP = 100-15% of 100 = Rs. 85.
2nd SP = 200 + 10% of 200 = Rs. 220.
Total CP = Rs.300
Total SP = 85 + 220 = Rs.305.
Profit = Rs.305 - 300 = Rs.5
Profit percent = (5/300)*100 = 1.66% profit
4. D
Sol. Amount of wine = 3/5 x 25 = 15 liters, Amount of water = 10 liters
If 10 liters of mixture are removed, amount of wine removed = 6 liters and amount of water removed = 4 liters.
Remaining wine= 15 - 6 = 9 liters
Remaining water = 10 - 4 = 6 liters
10 liters of pure wine are added, therefore total wine = (9 + 10) = 19 liters.
The ratio of wine and water in the new mixture = 19:6.
 www.gradeup.co

If the process is repeated one more time and 10 liters of the mixture are removed, then amount of wine removed =
19/25 x 10 = 7.6 liters.
Amount of water removed = 2.4 liters.
Remaining wine = (19 - 7.6) = 11.4 liters.
Remaining water = (6 -2.4) = 3.6 liters.
The required ratio of wine and water in the final mixture obtained = (11.4 + 10) : 3.6 = 10.7 : 1.8
Hence, option (D) is correct.
5. C
Sol.

Required ratio = 5/180 : 3/180 = 5:3

Hence, option (C) is correct.
6. D
Sol. cp of the mixture = 100 * 30 /120 = 25 per kg
 www.gradeup.co

So ratio = 10:5 = 2:1

Let x kg of rice mixed with wheat.
So, x:50 = 2:1
X = 100 kg
7. A
Sol. L.C.M of 30 and 90 minutes = 90 minutes
Required time = 11 pm + 90 minutes = 12.30 a.m
Hence option (A) is correct.
8. B
Sol. LCM of 8, 12 and 15 = 120 sec = 2 min.
So they will meet after 2 mins.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
9. B
Sol.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

10. A
Sol.
Simple interest =
 www.gradeup.co

Rate =

= 5% per annum

Hence option (A) is correct.

11. C
Sol. Let the rate of interest in scheme A be 5x% and scheme B be 6x%.
Since, interest received are equal,
So,
(P1 * 2*5x)/100 = (P2 *2 *6x)/100
P1/P2= 6/5
Required ratio= 6:5
12. B
Sol. Let the total distance = “t” km

Let the speed of the man in still water = x km/h

Speed of the current = 12 km/h

Time taken by the man to row “t” km downstream = 3 hours

Time taken by the man to row “t” km upstream = 5 hours

⸫ Equating Distance as it is same, we get

(x + 12) × 3 = (x – 12) × 5

⇒ 3x + 36 = 5x – 60

⇒ 2x = 96

⇒ x = 48 km/h
 www.gradeup.co

Thus, speed of man in still water is 48 km/h.

Hence, option (B) is correct.
13. B
Sol. Let upstream speed = 3k km/hr and downstream speed =5k km/hr

Speed of current =(5k-3k)/2 = k km/hr

k=2 km/hr.

Upstream speed =3k = 6 km/hr

45 minutes =

Required distance = km

Hence, option (B) is correct.

14. D
Sol. Let total work = LCM of (12, 16) = 48 units

Efficiency of Aniruddh = = 4 unit/hour

Efficiency of Pappu = = 3 unit/hour

So, Remaining work after 4 hours = 48 – 4 × (3 + 4) = 20 units

So, time taken by Aniruddh to fill the remaining part of the cistern = hours
Hence, option (D) is correct.
15. D
Sol. Ratio of equivalent capitals of A, B and C = (48000 × 3) : (36000 × 12) : (40000 × 9) = 2 : 6 : 5

According to question

6 – 5 ≡ Rs. 2500

⇒ 1 ≡ Rs. 2500
 www.gradeup.co

Hence, total profit = (2 + 6 + 5) × 2500 = Rs. 32500

Hence, option (D) is correct.
16. D
Sol. Total present age of five employees

= 40 × 5 + 6 × 5 = 200 + 30 = 230 years

Total present age of all the six employees = 42 × 6 = 252

Age of new employee five years from now = (252 – 230) + 5 = 27 years
Hence, option (D) is correct.
17. A
Sol. Let length of train Q = x
Let length of train P = 3x/4
Let speed of train P = y
Let speed of train Q = z
Length of train= Speed of train (m/s) * time to cross pole (in seconds)
For Train P:
= y × 30 ...(1)
For Train Q:
1 min & 15 seconds= 75 seconds
x = z × 75 ...(2)
Divide (1) by (2),

=
y:z = 15:8
Hence, option (A) is correct.
18. A
Sol. Let no. of boys & girls passed be 1.4x & x respectively
 www.gradeup.co

According to the question,

320 - 1.4x = 240 - x

By solving, x = 200

Failed girls = 240 - 200= 40

Failed boys = 320 - 1.4 * 200 = 320 - 280 = 40

Total number of boys and girls failed= 40+40= 80

Hence, option (A) is correct.
19. D
Sol. No. of boys = (64/100) × 2000 = 1280
No. of girls = (36/100) × 2000 = 720
Monthly fee of each girl = (75/100) × 480 = 360
Hence, required sum = (1280 × 480 + 720 × 360)
= (614400 + 259200)
= Rs 8,73,600
Hence, option (D) is correct.
20. B
Sol. Dividend = divisor × quotient + remainder
Given, number when divided by 21 leaves a remainder of 5.
Let the quotient be ‘a’.
Number = 21a + 5
Now, 'a' can be odd or even.
When 'a' is odd, let a = 2n + 1 where n = 0, 1, 2….
⇒ Number = 21(2n + 1) + 5 = 42n + 26
www.gradeup.co

Thus when this number is divided by 14, remainder will be 12.

Now, when 'a' is even, let a = 2n where n = 0, 1, 2….
⇒ Number = 21(2n) + 5 = 42n + 5
Thus when this number is divided by 14, remainder will be 5.
Number of values which ‘n’ can take is 2.
Hence, option (B) is correct.
