Age of Amit + 3 = age of Suvarna
The total of the ages of Amit and Suvarna on 1 January 2015 = 61 years
Age of Amit + Age of Suvarna = 61 years
Age of Amit + Age of Amit + 3 = 61
Age of Amit = 58/2 = 29 years

Age of Suvarna on 1 January 2015 = age of Amit + 3 = 29 + 3 = 32

A 3 3

4 3
B 3

C 2 3

5 3
D 3

Answer: D

Explanation:
2 sin θ − 8 cos2 θ + 5 = 0
⇒ 2 sin θ − 8(1 − sin2 θ) + 5 = 0
⇒ 8 sin2 θ + 2 sin θ − 3 = 0
⇒ 8 sin2 θ + 6 sin θ − 4 sin θ − 3 = 0
⇒ 4 sin θ(2 sin θ − 1) + 3(2 sin θ − 1) = 0
⇒ (4 sin θ + 3)(2 sin θ − 1) = 0
⇒ sin θ = 1/2
⇒ θ = 30°
(tan 2θ + cosec 2θ)

55. Two racers run at a speed of 100 m/min and 120 m/min, respectively. If the second racer takes 10 minutes less than the first
to complete the run, then how long is the race?

A 2 km

B 4 km

C 6 km

D 1 km

Answer: C

Explanation:
Ratio of the speed of the racers = 100 : 120 = 5 : 6

Ratio of the time of the racers = 6 : 5

Let the time be 6x and 5x.

Difference in time = 6x - 5x = x

x = 10 min

Downloaded from cracku.in

6x = 6 $$\times 10 = 60 min

Speed of racer = 100 m/min

Distance = speed ×time = 100 × 60 = 6000m = 6 km

56. The table below shows income(in rupees) for a particular month, together with their sources in respect of 5 employees A, B, C,
D, and E.

How many employees have their salary more than four times their other incomes?

A 3

B 2

C 1

D 4

Answer: B

Explanation:
Other incomes of A = 5500 + 3500 + 5000 = 14000

4 times of the other income = 14000 × 4 = 56000

salary of A = 52000

Other incomes of B = 4500 + 3000 + 3000 = 10500

4 times of the other income = 10500 × 4 = 42000

salary of B = 48500

Other incomes of C = 1500 + 4000 + 2500 + 2000 = 10000

4 times of the other income = 10000 × 4 = 40000

salary of C = 42000

Other incomes of D = 2500 + 3000 + 2000 + 1500 8500

4 times of the other income = 8500 × 4 = 34000

salary of D = 31000

Other incomes of E = 32000 + 1500 + 2000 = 6700

4 times of the other income = 6700 × 4 = 26800

salary of E = 25000

2 employees(B and C) have their salary more than four times their other incomes.

60. A can finish a work in 20 days and B can finish the same work in 25 days. They begin together, but B left the work after 5 days.
How many more days will A take to finish the remaining work?

A 11

B 8

C 16

D 21

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the total work be 100 units.

(∵ LCMof20and25is100.)

Efficiency of A = work/time = 100/20 = 5 unit/day

Efficiency of B = 100/25 = 4 unit/day

Work done by A and B in 5 days = efficiency ×times = (4 + 5)× 5 = 45 units

Remaining work = 100 - 45 = 55 units

Time taken by A to complete 55 units work = 55/5 = 11 days

36÷252×7+24×6÷18+3÷(2−6)−(4+3×2)÷8
= 21÷21

= 36 ÷ 252 × 7 + 24 × 6 ÷ 18 + 3 ÷ (−4) − (10) ÷ 8

1 1 1 1
= 36 × 252 × 7 + 24 × 6 × 18 − 3 × 4 − (10) × 8

63. From the following table, how many patients were in the age group 40-60?

A 45

B 29

C 6

D 16

Answer: D

Explanation:
From the table,

Number of patients in the age group 40 - 50 = 35 - 29 = 6

Number of patients in the age group 50 - 60 = 45 - 35 = 10

∴ Number of patients in the age group 40 - 60 = 6 + 10 = 16

Hence, the correct answer is Option D

64. The number of students enrolled in different faculties in a school is as follows:

The percentage of students studying in Science and Vocational subjects is:

A 93%

B 50%

C 37.2%

Downloaded from cracku.in

D 25%

Answer: C

Explanation:
Number of student in science and Vocational subjects = 35 + 18 + 10 + 30 = 93

Total student = 35 + 18 + 25 + 47 + 45 + 40 + 10 + 30 = 250

93
The percentage of students studying in Science and Vocational subjects = 250 × 100 = 37.2%

65. In △ABC , if AB = AC and ∠BAC = 40∘ , then the measure of ∠B is:

A 60∘

B 40∘

C 70∘

D 50∘
Answer: C

Explanation:

By the property,

When AB = AC then ∠ABC = ∠ACB

We know that,

∠ABC + ∠ACB + ∠ BAC = 180∘

2∠ABC = 180∘ − 40∘
∠ABC = 140/2 = 70∘
66. What should replace * in the number 94*2357, so that numberis divisible by 11?

A 1

B 7

C 8

D 3

Answer: D

Explanation:
If the number 94*2357 is divisible by 11 then sum of all alternative digit will be equal. So,

9+*+3+7=4+2+5

* = 11 - 19 = -8

The value of * = 11 - 8 = 3

68. If the difference between 62% and 80% of a number is 198, then the difference between 92% and 56% of the number will be:

A 1100

B 3564

C 396

D 360

Answer: C

Explanation:
Difference between 62% and 80% = 198

18% = 198

Difference between 92% and 56% = 36%

18% ×2 = 198× 2

36% = 396

Difference between 92% and 56% = 396

69. In the given figure, AP bisects ∠BAC. If AB = 4 cm, AC = 6 cm and BP = 3 cm, then the length of CP is:

A 3 cm

B 7 cm

C 5 cm

Downloaded from cracku.in

D 4.5 cm

Answer: D

Explanation:
Given, AB = 4 cm, AC = 6 cm and BP = 3 cm

AP bisects ∠BAC

By the angle bisector theorem,

BP AB
CP = AC
3 4
⇒ CP = 6
18
⇒ CP = 4

⇒ CP = 4.5 cm
Hence, the correct answer is Option D

70. A dealer sold 6 sewing machines for ₹63,000 with a profit of 5%. For how much should he sells 8 machines if he intends to
earn 15% profit?

A ₹88,200

B ₹69,300

C ₹92,000

D ₹92,400

Answer: C

Explanation:
Selling price 6 sewing machines = 63,000

Profit = 5%
63000
Cost price 6 sewing machines = 105 × 100 = 60000

Cost price 1 sewing machine = 60000/6 = 10000

115
After 15% profit, selling price of 1 sewing machine = 10000 × 100 = 11500

Selling price of 1 sewing machine = 11500 × 8 = Rs. 92,000

71. In the given figure, AP and BP are tangents to a circle with centre O. If ∠APB = 62 ∘ then the measure of ∠AQB is:

A 28∘

B 118∘

C 31∘

D 59∘
Answer: D

Downloaded from cracku.in

Explanation:
Given, ∠APB = 62 ∘

AP and BP are tangents to the circle with centre O

⇒ ∠OAP = 90 ∘ and ∠OBP = 90∘

In quadrilateral OAPB,

∠AOB + ∠OBP + ∠APB + ∠OAP = 360 ∘

⇒ ∠AOB + 90∘ + 62∘ + 90∘ = 360∘
⇒ ∠AOB + 242∘ = 360∘
⇒ ∠AOB = 118∘
Angle subtended by major arc at the centre is double the angle subtended by the major at any point on the circle.

⇒ ∠AOB = 2∠AQB
⇒ 118∘ = 2∠AQB
⇒ ∠AQB = 59∘
Hence, the correct answer is Option D

72. The value of 27a 3 − 2 2b3 is equal to:

A (3a − 2b)(9a 2 − 2b2 + 6 2ab)

B (3a − 2b)(9a 2 + 2b2 + 6 2ab)

C (3a − 2b)(9a 2 + 2b2 + 3 2ab)

D (3a − 2b)(9a 2 − 2b2 − 3 2ab)

Answer: C

Explanation:
27a 3 − 2 2b3 = (3a − 2b)(9a 2 + 2b2 + 6 2ab)
(∵ a 3 − b3 = (a − b)(a 2 + ab + b2 ))

here,

a = 3a

b= 2b

73. In a cirele with radius 5 cm, a chord is at a distance of 3 cm from the centre. The length of the chord is:

A 3 cm

B 7 cm

C 8 cm

D 4 cm

Answer: C

Explanation:

Downloaded from cracku.in

△ OPB is right angle triangle.
(∵ radius cuts the chord at right angle and equal parts.)

From the Pythagoras theorem,

(OB)2 = (OP )2 + (P B)2

52 = 32 + (P B)2
(P B)2 = 25 − 9 = 16
PB = 4

AB = 2PB = 2 × 4 = 8 cm

∴ The length of the chord is 8 cm.

74. A person marked his goods at a price that would give him 40% profit but he declared a sale and allowed 20% discount on the
marked price. What is the profit percentage of the person in the whole transaction ?

A 12%

B 32%

C 30%

D 20%

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the cost price by Rs. 100.

Profit = 40%

Selling price = 100 ×140/100 = 140

Discount after sale = 20%

Selling price after sale = 140 $$\frac 80/100 = 112

Profit after sale = 112 - 100 = 12

Profit percentage = $$\frac{12}{100} \times 100 = 12%

75. The simple interest on a certain sum at the end of three years at 5%p.a. is ₹1,200. The compound interest on the same sum
for the same period at the same rate is (interest compounded yearly):

A ₹1,800

B ₹1,261

C ₹820

D ₹1,260

Answer: B

Explanation:

Downloaded from cracku.in

Rate(r) = 5%

Time(t) = 3

Interest = 1200

Principle = p
prt
Interest = 100
p×5×3
1200 = 100

p = Rs. 8000
r
Compound interest = p(1 + 100 )t − p
5
= 8000(1 + 100 ) − 8000

= $$8000 \times \frac{105}{100}\times \frac{105}{100} \times \frac{105}{100} - 8000

= 2083725 - 8000

Compound interest = 9261 - 8000 = Rs. 1261
