23. If a mirror is placed on the line MN, then which of the answer figures is the right image of the given figures ?

Downloaded from cracku.in

D

Answer: C

So the arrow pointing at top left in the middle will now face top right, thus the second and fourth options will be eliminated.

Also, in the question figure, the circle is inside he figure, so it will stay inside but its position will be reversed, hence third option is the
right image.

54. When a discount of 20% is given on a pizza, the profit is 32%. If the discount is 18%, then the profit is

A 50 percent

B 64.7 percent

C 35.3 percent

D 20.6 percent

Answer: C

Explanation:
Let Marked Price = Rs.100x
100−20
When discount is 20%, Selling price = 100 × 100x = Rs.80x
Let Cost price = Rs.y
80x−y
Profit % = y × 100 = 32
80x−y 32 8
=> y = 100 = 25

=> 2000x − 25y = 8y

=> 25y + 8y = 2000x
2000x
=> y = 33 = 60.6x
100−18
When discount is 18%, Selling price = 100 × 100x = Rs.82x
82x−60.6x
∴ Profit % = 60.6x × 100
≈ 35.3%
=> Ans - (C)

Shortcut:
(100 − 18) × (100 + 32) 82 × 132
Required profit = (100 − 20) = 80 = 135.3 = (100 + 35.3) − − > 35.3%.

speed he travels for the remaining 7 hours of the journey?

A 50 km/hr

B 42 km/hr

C 53 km/hr

D 59 km/hr

Answer: D

Explanation:
Total distance covered = 661 km

He rides for 8 hours at a speed of 31 km/hr

=> Distance covered = 8 × 31 = 248 km

Distance left = 661 - 248 = 413 km

A 55

B 54.2

C 53.4

D 53

Answer: A

Explanation:
Total number of students = 50 and number of girls = 27

=> Number of boys in class = 50 - 27 = 23

Average weight of girls = 45 kg

=> Total weight of girls = 45 × 27 = 1215 kg

Similarly, total weight of full class = 49.6 × 50 = 2480 kg
=> Total weight of boys = 2480 - 1215 = 1265 kg

together finish the job?

A 7 days

B 4 days

C 5 days

D 15 days

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let total work to be done = 60 units

Sampat can complete a job alone in 60 days

60
=> Sampat's efficiency = 60 = 1 unit/day
Also, Mandeep works 3 times as fast as Sampat

=> Mandeep's efficiency = 3 × 1 = 3 units/day

(Sampat+Mandeep)'s 1 day's work together = 1 + 3 = 4 units/day
60
∴ Time taken by them to finish the job together = 4 = 15 days

66. What is the equation of the line passing through the point (1,3) and making an angle of -45° with the positive x-axis?

A x+y=4

B x+y=2

C x-y=4

D x-y=2

Answer: A

Explanation:
Slope of line making an angle of -45° with the positive x​-axis = tan(−45°)
=> Slope, m = −tan(45) = −1
Line is passing through point (1,3)

Equation of line having slope m and passing through (x1 , y1 ) is : (y − y1 ) = m(x − x1 )

=> (y − 3) = −1(x − 1)
=> y − 3 = −x + 1
=> x + y =4
=> Ans - (A)

67. The measures of the four angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio 1:2:3:4. What is the measure of the biggest angle?

A 36°

B 144°

C 72°

D 108°

Answer: B

Explanation:
Let the four angles of the quadrilateral be x, 2x, 3x and 4x
Sum of internal angles of a quadrilateral = 360°

=> x + 2x + 3x + 4x = 360°
=> 10x = 360°
360
=> x = 10 = 36°
∴ Biggest angle = 4x = 4 × 36 = 144°

68. A tent is to be built in the form of a cylinder of radius 5 m surmounted by a cone of the same radius. If the height of the
cylindrical part is 6 m and slant height of the conical part is 10 m, how much canvas will be required to build the tent? Allow
20% extra canvas for folding and stitching. (Take π = 22/7)

A 829.72 sq mts

B 414.86 sq mts

C 1244.58 sq mts

D 207.43 sq mts

Answer: B

Explanation:
Radius of cone = Radius of cylinder = r = 5 m

Height of cylinder = h = 6 m

Slant height of cone = l = 10 m

Canvas required = Curved surface area of cylinder + Curved surface area of cone

= 2πrh + πrl = (πr)(2h + l)

22
=( 7 × 5)(2 × 6 + 10)
110
= 7 × 22 = 345.71 m2
Also, 20% extra canvas is required for folding and stitching
120
∴ Total canvas required = 100 × 345.71
= 1.2 × 345.71 ≈ 414.86 m2
=> Ans - (B)

69. The sum of the digits of a 2-digit number is 8. If we add 36 to the number, the new number obtained is a number formed by
interchange of the digits. What is the number?

A 26

B 62

C 34

D 43

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let the unit's digit of the number be y and ten's digit be x
=> Number = 10x + y
Sum of digits, x + y = 8 --------------(i)
According to question, => 10x + y + 36 = 10y + x
=> 9y − 9x = 36
36
=> y − x = 9 = 4 --------------(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get :

=> (y + y) = (8 + 4)

 12
=> y = 2 =6
Substituting it in equation (i), => x=8−6=2
∴ Number = 26

71. A bank offers 10% compound interest per half year. A customer deposits Rs. 5200 each on 1st January and 1st July of a year.
At the end of the year, the amount he would have profit by way of interest is:

A Rs 3224

B Rs 1612

C Rs 806

D Rs 403

Answer: B

Explanation:
1
The interest earned on 5200 from Jan to July will be 5200 × 10 × 100 (Since rate of interest is 10 % per 6 months)

= 52 × 10 = 520
Hence, 5200 will amount to 5720. He adds another 5200 to this. So the net amount becomes 5200 + 5720 = 10920
1
Now interest earned on this amount in a period of 6 months will be 10920 × 10 × 100 = 1092
So the final amount will be 10920 + 1092 = 12012

Total money he deposited = 5200 + 5200 = 10400

Hence, amount earned via interest = 12012 - 10400 = 1612

=> Ans - (B)

73. Read the data answer the given questions

How many cars were manufactured in the month of April and May

A 760

B 960

C 1130

D 4190

Answer: C

Explanation:
Number of cars produced in :

January = 690

February = 1000 - 690 = 310

March = 1300 - 1000 = 300

April = 1760 - 1300 = 460

May = 2430 - 1760 = 670

June = 2720 - 2430 = 290

=> Number of cars that were manufactured in the month of the April and may = 460 + 670 = 1130
