Accepted Answer

Option A: 40. Let total capacity be $C$. $\frac{3}{4} C = 30 \implies C = \frac{30 	imes 4}{3} = 40	ext{ litres}$.

Question 32

The sum of four consecutive integers is 1290. The greatest of them is?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 324. Let integers be $x, x+1, x+2, x+3$. Sum: $4x + 6 = 1290 \implies 4x = 1284 \implies x = 321$. The greatest integer is $x + 3 = 321 + 3 = 324$.

Accepted Answer

Option D: 7. Let number be $x$. $21x - 12x = 63 \implies 9x = 63 \implies x = 7$.

Accepted Answer

Option B: 144. Let $1^{	ext{st}} = 20k, 2^{	ext{nd}} = 5k, 3^{	ext{rd}} = 4k$. Sum $= 20k + 5k + 4k = 29k$. Given average $= 87 \implies 	ext{Sum} = 3 	imes 87 = 261$. Thus $29k = 261 \implies k = 9$. Difference between $1^{	ext{st}}$ and $3^{	ext{rd}} = 20k - 4k = 16k = 16(9) = 144$.

Question 35

What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the following question?

Question 36

If the sum of a number and its square is 272, What is the number?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 16. $x + x^2 = 272 \implies x^2 + x - 272 = 0 \implies (x + 17)(x - 16) = 0 \implies x = 16$. Checking: $16 + 256 = 272$.

Question 37

A person sold a stove for Rs. 423 and incurred a loss of 6%. At what price would it be sold so as to earn a profit of 8%?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 486. Cost price $CP = \frac{423}{0.94} = 	ext{Rs. } 450$. Desired selling price $SP = 450 	imes 1.08 = 	ext{Rs. } 486$.

Question 38

A sells a car to B at 10% loss. If B sells it for Rs. 54,000 and gains 20%, the cost price of the car for A was

Accepted Answer

Option C: Rs. 50,000. B's cost price $CP_B = \frac{54000}{1.20} = 	ext{Rs. } 45,000$. A's cost price $CP_A = \frac{45000}{0.90} = 	ext{Rs. } 50,000$.

Question 39

The ratio of cost price and selling price is 4:5. The profit percent is

Accepted Answer

Option C: 25%. $	ext{Profit } \% = \frac{SP - CP}{CP} 	imes 100 = \frac{5 - 4}{4} 	imes 100 = \frac{1}{4} 	imes 100 = 25\%$.

Question 40

If a person sells a 'sari' for Rs. 5,200, making a profit of 30%, then the cost price of the sari is

If Ram and Shyam together can build a house in 10 days; Ram and Arun can build it together in 12 days and Shyam and Arun can build it in 15 days. Shyam, Ram and Arun start working together. In how many days they build the house?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 8. Combined rates: $2(R + S + A) = \frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{15} = \frac{6 + 5 + 4}{60} = \frac{15}{60} = \frac{1}{4} \implies R + S + A = \frac{1}{8}$. Together they finish in 8 days.

Question 42

P and Q together can do a work in 18 days. P alone can do the same work in 27 days. In how many days can Q alone do the same work?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 54. Rate of $Q = \frac{1}{18} - \frac{1}{27} = \frac{3 - 2}{54} = \frac{1}{54}$. Q alone will complete the work in 54 days.

Question 43

Ajay and Vijay travel from A to B at $17	ext{ km/hr}$ and $19	ext{ km/hr}$, respectively. A is $72	ext{ km}$ away from B. Vijay reaches B first and returns immediately and meets Ajay at C. Find B to C distance?

Accepted Answer

Option B: 4. Total distance covered by Ajay and Vijay combined $= 2 	imes 72 = 144	ext{ km}$. Time to meet $t = \frac{144}{17 + 19} = \frac{144}{36} = 4	ext{ hours}$. Distance travelled by Vijay $= 19 	imes 4 = 76	ext{ km}$. Distance from B to meeting point C $= 76 - 72 = 4	ext{ km}$.

Question 44

A car is running at a speed of $90	ext{ km/h}$. What distance will it cover in 15 second?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 375 m. Speed in $	ext{m/s} = 90 	imes \frac{5}{18} = 25	ext{ m/s}$. Distance $= 25	ext{ m/s} 	imes 15	ext{ s} = 375	ext{ m}$.

Question 45

What is the possibility of having 53 Thursdays in a non-leap year?

Accepted Answer

Option D: 1/7. A non-leap year has 365 days $= 52	ext{ weeks} + 1	ext{ odd day}$. The odd day has 7 equally likely possibilities (Sunday to Saturday), so the probability that it is Thursday is $1/7$.

Question 46

What will be the possibility of drawing a jack or a spade from a well shuffled standard deck of 52 playing cards?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 4/13. Total cards $= 52$. Jacks $= 4$, Spades $= 13$, Jack of Spades (overlap) $= 1$. Favorable cards $= 4 + 13 - 1 = 16$. Probability $= \frac{16}{52} = \frac{4}{13}$.

Question 47

Age of Umesh will be 4 times the age of Reena in 6 years from today. If ages of Umesh and Mahesh are 7 times and 6 times the age of Reena respectively, what is present age of Umesh?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 42. Let Reena's present age be $R$. Umesh $U = 7R$. In 6 years: $7R + 6 = 4(R + 6) \implies 7R + 6 = 4R + 24 \implies 3R = 18 \implies R = 6$. Umesh's present age $= 7R = 7(6) = 42	ext{ years}$.

Question 48

The average age of 10 students and their teacher is 15 years. The average age of the first seven students is 15 yr. and that of the last three is 11 yr. What is the teacher's age?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 27. Total age of 11 persons (10 students + 1 teacher) $= 11 	imes 15 = 165	ext{ years}$. Age of first 7 students $= 7 	imes 15 = 105$. Age of last 3 students $= 3 	imes 11 = 33$. Total 10 students $= 105 + 33 = 138$. Teacher's age $= 165 - 138 = 27	ext{ years}$.

Question 49

Ram and Shyam's average age is 65 years. The average age of Ram, Shyam and John is 53 years. What is the age of John?

Accepted Answer

Option A: 29. Sum of Ram and Shyam $= 2 	imes 65 = 130	ext{ years}$. Sum of Ram, Shyam, and John $= 3 	imes 53 = 159	ext{ years}$. Age of John $= 159 - 130 = 29	ext{ years}$.

Question 50

The present ages of Aman and Nina are 59 and 37 years, respectively. What was the ratio of the ages of Nina and Aman 13 years ago?

Accepted Answer

Option C: 12:23. 13 years ago: Nina's age $= 37 - 13 = 24	ext{ years}$; Aman's age $= 59 - 13 = 46	ext{ years}$. Ratio of Nina to Aman $= 24:46 = 12:23$.
