Those who are getting 35+ regularly in VARC, could u share ur typical attepts by question types (RC and VA).

I attempt about 13-14/16 from RC's and 7-8/8 from VA. On good days when my accuracy exceeds 70% i get anywhere from 48-54 marks and on average about 40+ I give typically 7 minutes per RC and 10 mins for VA.

3 RC sets and all the VA questions. Although I have poor accuracy at para-jumbles still I get 8-9 RC questions correct and 4-5 VA questions correct which gives an overall score between the range of 33-36.

x.[x] = 35, where [x] is GINT. Find x?

-5.8333 as -5.8333.[-5.8333] = -5.8333 x -6 = 35 Hope it helps !

Shashikant derives an annual income of Rs. 668.25 from Rs. 10000 invested partly at 8% p.a. and partly at 5% p.a. simple interest. How much money is invested at 5%? (Arun Sharma QA, level-1)

If the entire amount was invested @5% and @8% the he would get Rs. 500 and Rs. 800 accordingly. Now apply alligations... So the parts are in the ratio (668.58 - 500) : (800 - 668.58) = 131.42 : 168.58 Share of his investment @5% is 131.42 X 10000/(131.42 + 168.58) = 4380.667

Let x be the amount invested @8% and y be the amount invested @5%, so (x+y=10000) and (8% of x + 5% of y = 668.25). by solving these two equations you will get the value of y and that value will be your answer.
