This is satisfied.
4) Answer: E
Let x and y be the number of gold coins of Amit 6) Answer: C
and Mishra respectively. Ratio of salary = 2:3; Ram = 2x; Kalai = 3x
By data, Ratio of expenditure = 3:4; Ram = 3y; Kalai = 4y
(x+20) = 2*(y-20) Savings Ram = 2x-3y; Kalai = 3x-4y
x + 20 = 2y – 40 By data,
2y – x = 60 ----(1) Difference between the savings = 5000
(y+90) = 6*(x-90) (3x-4y) – (2x-3y) = 5000
y + 90 = 6x – 540 x – y = 5000
y – 6x = -630----(2) Also, Kalai gives 25% of her savings to Ram
After solving (1) and (2), we have both have same amount
11y = 990 25% of (3x-4y) + (2x-3y) = 75% of (3x-4y)
y = 90 2x-3y = 50% 0f (3x-4y)
4x – 6y = 3x – 4y
5) Answer: B x = 2y
From option (i) 2y –y = 5000; y = 5000
Number of girls in B = 80 x = 2*5000 = 10000
Number of boys in B = 180 – 80 = 100 Difference between their salaries = 3x – 2x = x =
Number of boys in A = 100 – 16 = 84 10000
Difference of boys and girls in A = 1/4 * 84 = 21
This is satisfied. 7) Answer: C
From option (ii) Number of employees in A:B:C= 30: 25: 39
Number of girls in B = 84 Number of female employees in A = 30x * 5/12 =
Number of boys in B = 180 – 84 = 96 12.5x
Number of boys in A = 96 – 16 = 80 Number of female employees in B = 3/5 * 25x =
Difference of boys and girls in A = 1/4 * 80 = 20 15x
This is satisfied. Number of female employees in C = 39x * 6/13 =
From option (iii) 18x
Number of girls in B = 60 Required percentage = (12.5x + 15x + 18x)/94x *
Number of boys in B = 180 – 60 = 120 100
Number of boys in A = 120 – 16 = 104 = 45.5x/94x * 100
Difference of boys and girls in A = 1/4 * 104 = 26 = 48%
1) Arun gives Rs. K to P, Q and R and tell them number of balls sold by shops A and B together

3) The ratio of the number of balls sold by shop blue chairs in room Q are in the ratio 7:5,
A to shop B is 4:3. If the number of balls sold by respectively. Red chairs in room P are 66.66%
shops A and B is increased by 30 and 10 of the total chairs in room Q. Find total number
respectively, then the ratio of the number of of chairs in room P(if only two colors of chair are
balls sold by shops A to B is 3:2. Find the total there)?
A.720 chairs
1) Answer: D y = 40/20 = 2
Actual ratio of Distribution = 3:2:4 x = (30 – 5 * 2)/5 = 20/5 = 4
By mistake, they distribute in = 1/3: 1/2: 1/4 = The number of males in college A = 8 * 4 = 32
4:6:3
Now, 3) Answer: A
= 4/9 x K – 3/13 x K = 600 (4x + 30)/(3x + 10) = 3/2
= 25K/117 = 600 8x + 60 = 9x + 30
Value of K = Rs. 2808 x = 30
Actual amount received by Q = 2/9 x 2808 = Rs. The total number of balls sold by shops A and B
624 together before increases = (4 + 3) * 30 = 7 * 30
Hence answer is option D = 210
2) Answer: A 4) Answer: D
Total number of students in college M = 26 * The total number of pipes manufactured from
28/(28 – 15) = 26 * 28/13 = 56 Monday to Friday together = 130 * 5 = 650
Total number of students in college N = 56 * Ratio of number of pipes manufactured on
15/28 = 30 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday =
Let the number of males in colleges M and N be 6:4:4:5
8x and 5x respectively. Let the number of pipes manufactured on
Let the number of females in college N = 5y Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday be 6x,
And the number of females in college M = 5y * 4x, 4x and 5x respectively.
(100 + 140)/100 = 5x * 240/100 = 12y So, the number of pipes manufactured on
8x + 12y = 56 ---(1) Wednesday = 4x – 40
5x + 5y = 30 ---(2) 6x + 4x + 4x – 40 + 4x + 5x = 650
From equations (1) * 5 and (2) * 8, 23x = 650 + 40
40x + 60y = 280 23x = 690
40x + 40y = 240 x = 30
In final mixture after adding X liters of milk, the Let age of A and B is 3x and 5x
concentration of milk is 70% So, age of C is 3x+4 and age of D is 5x-5.
40 + 44 + x / (56 + 76 + x) = 7/10 So, we can say, (3x+4)/(5x-5+5)=5/7
840 + 10x = 924 + 7x Or, 25x=21x+28, or x=7
3x = 84 Age of A is 21 years, B is 5*7=35 years.
X = 28 Age of C is 21+4=25 years and age of D is 35-
So, required milk = 28 liters 5=30 years.
So, average present age of A,B,C and D is = [

By solving the above two equations, d=20 and Actual amount received by Q = 2/9 x 2808 = Rs.
e=18 624
So, boys in A is 2*20+5=45 and girls in A is = Hence answer is option D
2*18+6=42
Boys in B is 3*18=54 and girls in B is 42. 8) Answer: A
So, required difference = [54+42] – [45+42]=9 Total chocolate squares = 20*12 = 240
Number of squares for children = 240*7/12 =
5) Answer: C 140
According to the question, Number of squares for adults = 240-140 = 100
So, check the value of I, One child gets = 140/40 = 3.5
Income of A is 5*2400=12000 One adult gets = 100/20 = 5
So, saving is 12000*25/100=3000 Required sum = 3.5+5 = 8.5
So, it is not true.
Similarly, we can check the values of the other 9) Answer: D
also. Only II is true. Total number of balls in B = 45
Number of red balls in B = 45 * 7/15 = 21
6) Answer: A Number of yellow balls in B = 45 * 8/15 = 24
Number of boys passed the exam = 360 * 4/3 = (1/2 * 4x/7 + 21 * 1/4):(1/5 * 3x/7):(75/100 * 24)
480 = 14(3/8):3:15
Number of girls passed the exam = 360 (1/5 * 3x/7)/18 = 3/15
Number of girls in the college = 300 * 2/1 = 600 18 = 3x/7
Number of boys in the college = 300 * 3/1 = 900 x = 42
Required ratio = (900 – 480):(600 – 360)
= 420:240 10) Answer: C
= 7:4 Number of students in A = 6x
Number of students in B = 5x
7) Answer: D Number of students in C = 6/5 * 6x = 36x/5 =
Actual ratio of Distribution = 3:2:4 7.2x
By mistake, they distribute in = 1/3: 1/2: 1/4 = Number of boys in A = ¾ * 6x = 9x/2 = 4.5x
4:6:3 Ratio of number of boys to girls in B = 3:2
Now, Number of boys in B = 3/5 * 5x = 3x
= 4/9 x K – 3/13 x K = 600 Number of boys in C = 36x/5 * 5/8 = 4.5x
= 25K/117 = 600
Value of K = Rs. 2808
