Answer Key with Explanation

1) Answer: E Number of red balls in B = 45 * 7/15 = 21


Let the 50 paise and Rs. 1 coins be a and 3a Number of yellow balls in B = 45 * 8/15 = 24
respectively (1/2 * 4x/7 + 21 * 1/4):(1/5 * 3x/7):(75/100 * 24) =
Now, a/2 + 3a = 105 14(3/8):3:15
7a/2 = 105 (1/5 * 3x/7)/18 = 3/15
So, value of a = 30 18 = 3x/7
Number of Rs. 5 coins = 10% x 3 x 30 = 9 x = 42
Number of Rs. 2 coins = 8/3 x 9 = 24
Value of P = 24 x 2 + 5 x 9 = Rs. 93 3) Answer: A
Hence answer is option E Ratio of sweets in terms of dozen =Laddu:
Jalebi: Barfi = 10: 8: 6 = 5: 4: 3
2) Answer: D Ratio of sweets in terms of weight = Laddu:

3): (3 * 2) = 30: 12: 6 = 5: 2: 1 And,
% contribution of Laddu = 5/8 = 62.5% [(x – 15) + (m – 2)]/ [x – (m + 9)] = 16/15
% contribution of Jalebi = 2/8 * 100 = 25% 15x + 15m – 255 = 16x – 16m – 144
% contribution of Barfi = 1/8 * 100 = 12.5% 31m – x = 111 ---------------(2)
Required ratio = 62.5: 25: 12.5 From equations (1) and (2):

4) Answer: C m = 6, x = 75
He bought a total of 50 kg of sugar and the ratio Initial weight of A = 75 – 9 = 66 kg
of the quantity is given as 2:3:5. Initial weight of B = 75 – 15 = 60 kg
Therefore, he has 10 kg of X, 15 kg of Y and 25 Required ratio = 66: 60 = 11: 10

The profit earned on 1kg of X is 20/100 × 30 = Initial amount has daughter = y
Rs.6 (x – 1170)/y = 3/14
The loss earned on 1 kg of Y is 10/100 × 40 = 3y = 14x – 16380
Rs.4 14x – 3y = 16380 ---- (1)
The profit earned on 1 kg of Z is 32/100] × 50= (x – 1170)/(y – 6400) = 1/3
Rs.16 y – 6400 = 3x – 3510
But he sold all of X & Y and 40 – (10 + 15) =15 y – 3x = 2890 ----(2)
kg of Z. From (1) and (2)
∴ The total amount of profit earned is 6 × 10 – 4 5x = 25050

Number of male employees in B = 3x 5x/2 – 3y = 120
Number of female employees in B = 2x 5x – 6y = 240
3x + 20 + 2x – 12 = 98 5x = 240 + 6y
5x = 90 We cannot find the answer.
x = 18
Total number of male employees in B = 3 * 18 = 3) Answer: B
54 Total number of balls in A = 8x
Total number of employees in A = 54 + 16 = 70 Total number of balls in B = 7y
Number of female employees in A = 70 * 3/7 = (5x + 3y) - (3x + 4y) = 9
30 2x – y = 9 ------ (1)
8x + 7y = 69 --- (2)

Answer Key with Explanation

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

Number of pipes manufactured on Wednesday = Required ratio = 18:14 = 9:7


(4 * 30) – 40 = 120 – 40 = 80
7) Answer: D
5) Answer: A Let A and B invest 6x and 7x respectively.
According to question, C and D invest 8y and 5y respectively.
Ratio of total chairs in rooms P and Q = 3:2 Interest earn by A is 6x*(20/100)=120x/100
Let the total chairs in room P = 90x Interest earn by B is 7x*(21/100) =147x/100 [Net
Let the total chairs in room Q = 60x % of CI in 2 year is 21%]
Ratio of Red and blue chairs in room Q = 7:5 Interest earn by C is 8y*(30/100)=240y/100
Total Red chairs in room Q = 35x Interest earn by D is 5y*(44/100)=220y/100 [net
Total blue chairs in room Q = 25x % of Ci in 2 year is 44%]
Red chairs in room P – red chairs in room Q = So, we can say, 120x/100 + 240y/100 =Rs. 7200
40 And 147x/100 + 220y/100 = 7340
Red chairs in room P = 35x + 40 By solving above equations, we get x=y=
Blue chairs in room P = 55x - 40 Rs.2000.
Red chairs in room P = 2/3 x total chairs in room Difference of A and D’s invest = (6*2000)-
Q (5*2000)= Rs.2000
(35x + 40) /60x = 2/3
Thus, x = 8 8) Answer: C
Total chairs in room P = 90x = 90 x 8 = 720 I. a)5 b) 5:4 c) 30
Hence, answer is option A So, the age of P is 30, the age of Q is
30*(2/3)=20
6) Answer: B So, 5 years ago ratio of their age = (30-5): (20-5)
The speed of Train B = 180 kmph = 180 * 5 / 18 =25:15 =5:3
= 50 m/s But b is 5:4.
The speed of Train A = 50 * 3 / 5 = 30 m/s So, it’s not satisfied.
Length of two trains = 10 * (50 + 30) = 800 Similarly, we check the other's value and we can
Length of Train A = 800 * 2 / 5 = 320m see none of the condition is satisfied.
Length of Train B = 800 * 3 / 5 = 480m
Time taken by Train A to cross the platform has 9) Answer: B
length of 220m = (320 + 220) / 30 = 18s In mixture 1, milk = 56*5/7 = 40 liters
Time taken by Train B to cross the platform has In mixture 2, milk = 76*11/19 = 44 liters
length of 220m = 700 / 50 = 14s

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-

Answer Key with Explanation


1) Answer: C 3) Answer: D
So, we can say The total number of pipes manufactured from
[(3500*2/5)*(100+X+10)/100]+[(3500*3/5)*(100+ Monday to Friday together = 130 * 5 = 650
3X-5)/100]=3500*123/100 Ratio of number of pipes manufactured on
So, 1540+14X+1995+63X=4305; X=770/77=10 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday =
So, required difference [3500*125/100*3/5*]- 6:4:4:5
[3500*2/5*120/100] Let the number of pipes manufactured on
=2625-1680=945 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday be 6x,
4x, 4x and 5x respectively.
2) Answer: B So, the number of pipes manufactured on
Income = saving + Expenditure Wednesday = 4x – 40
Let the income of A = 3x 6x + 4x + 4x – 40 + 4x + 5x = 650
And the income of B = 2x 23x = 650 + 40
Let the expenditure of A = y 23x = 690
And the expenditure of B = y x = 30
3x-y=200 →(1) Number of pipes manufactured on Wednesday
2x-y = 100 →(2) = (4 * 30) – 40 = 120 – 40 = 80
by solving 1 and 2 we get
x= 100 4) Answer: C
y=100 [2d+5]/[2e+6]=15/14
The income of A = Rs.300 Or, 28d+70=30e+90
The income of C = Rs.600 Or, 28d-30e=20
The expenditure of C = 600*60/100 = Rs.360 AQT, 3e=[2d+5]*6/5
The saving of C = Rs.240 Or, 15e-12d=30

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
