LIC AAO REASONING QUESTIONS PDF
Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
Let temperature on monday be a and that on thursday be y.
(x+y)/2 = 36
Now, y = 0.8x
Hence, we get Monday’s temperature as 40
Therefore, none of these is the answer.
2) Answer (A)
Let the numbers be a, b, c, d, and e.
a+b+c+d+e = 555
Now, (a+b)/2 = 75
a+b = 150
and c = 115
therefore, d+e = 290
Average, (d+e)/2 = 145
3) Answer (B)
Let the common multiple be x.
There are x girls and 3x boys.
Now, let girls score be N.
$\frac{N*x+(A+1)*3x}{4x}$ = A
N = 4A – 3(A+1)
= A – 3
Hence, the average score of girls is A-3
4) Answer (A)
Let the number of students be ‘x’
Given that the average is increased by $\Large\frac{1}{3}$ due to the increase of $18$ marks ( $64$ $-$ $46$ $=$ $18$ marks )
Actual increase in marks $=$ $\Large\frac{1}{3}$ $\times$ x
$\Rightarrow$ $\Large\frac{1}{3}$ $\times$ x $=$ $18$
$\therefore$ Number of students(x) $=$ $54$
5) Answer (B)
Let the total age of boys be ‘B’
Average age of boys = 18
$\Large\frac{B}{22}$ $=$ $18$
$\Rightarrow$ B $=$ $396$
Let the total age of Girls be ‘G’
Let the number of girls be ‘x’
Average age of girls $=$ $14$
$\Large\frac{G}{x}$ $=$ $14$
$\Rightarrow$ G $=$ $14$x
Total average of students $=$ $12$
Total age of students $=$ Total age of boys $+$ Total age of girls $=$ $396$ $+$ $14$x
Total number of students $=$ Number of boys $+$ Number of girls $=$ $22$ $+$ x
Average age of class $=$ $12$
$\Rightarrow$ $\Large\frac{396 + 14x}{22 + x}$ $=$ $12$
$\Rightarrow$ $396$ $+$ $14$x $=$ $462$ $+$ $12$x
$\Rightarrow$ $2$x $=$ $66$
$\Rightarrow$ x $=$ $33$
$\therefore$ Number of girls $=$ $33$
Total number of students $=$ $22$ $+$ $33$ $=$ $55$
6) Answer (B)
Run-rate = 4.5 runs per over
$1$ over $\rightarrow$ $4.5$ runs
$20$ overs $\rightarrow$ $20\times4.5$ $=$ $90$ runs
Total target $=$ $210$ runs
Remaining score $=$ $210$ $-$ $90$ $=$ $120$ runs
Remaining overs $=$ $30$ overs
$\therefore$ Required run-rate $=$ $\Large\frac{120}{30}$ $=$ $4$ runs per over
7) Answer (B)
Let the total number of residents be 100x
People who own car = 60k
People who own a bike = 40k
People who work in the banking sector = 25k
People in the banking sector who own a bike = 20% of 25k = 5k
Rest of the people who work in the banking sector must be owning a car
Number of people owning a car and working in banking sector = 25k – 5k = 20k
Number of people owning a car and working in non-banking sector = 60k – 20k = 40k
Required % = 40k/100k * 100 = 40%
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
8) Answer (D)
Let Sumit scored 100x marks
Then, Amit scored 90x marks
Amit’s score is 20% more than that of Rakesh.
So, Rakesh’s score = 75x
Tina’s score = Amit’s score + 35 = 90x + 35…..(i)
Tina’s score = Sumit’s score + 20 = 100x + 20…(ii)
On comparing (i) and (ii),
90x + 35 = 100x + 20
On solving, we get x = 1.5
So, Rakesh’s score = 75x = 75* 1.5 = 112.5
And Tina’s score = 90x + 35 = 170
Difference = (170 – 112.5) = 57.5
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
9) Answer (C)
Let the total salary be Rs. 100x
Amount spent on education = Rs. 30x
Amount left = Rs. 70x
Amount spent on household expenditures = 50% of Rs. 70x = Rs. 35x
Amount left = Rs. (70x – 35x) = Rs. 35x
Amount invested = 14.28% of Rs. 35x = Rs. 5x
Amount invested in Government bonds = Rs. $\frac{3}{5} * 5x$ = Rs. 3x
It is given that, 3x = 2400
Or, x = 800
So, Amount spent on education = Rs. 30x = Rs. 24000
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
10) Answer (E)
Let T1 be test 1, T2 be test 2 and so on.
The average marks scored by Ankur in Test 1 = the marks scored by Ankur in test 1 = 68.
The average marks scored by Ankur in Test 1 and Test 2 = 73
Thus, 73 = (marks scored in T1 + marks scored in T2)/2
Thus, marks scored by Ankur in T2 = 73*2 – 68 = 78.
The average marks scored by Ankur in Test 1 ,Test 2and Test 3 = 69
69 = (marks scored in T1 + marks scored in T2 + marks scored in T3)/3
Thus, marks scored by Ankur in T3 = 207-146 = 61
The average marks scored by Ankur in Test 1 ,Test 2,Test 3 and Test 4 = 70
70 = (marks scored in T1 + marks scored in T2 + marks scored in T3+marks scored in T4)/4
Thus, marks scored by Ankur in T4 = 280-207 = 63.
The average marks scored by Ankur in Test 1 ,Test 2,Test 3, Test 4 and Test 5 = 72
72 = (marks scored in T1 + marks scored in T2 + marks scored in T3+marks scored in T4+marks scored in T5)/5
Thus, marks scored by Ankur in T5 = 360-280 = 80
Similarly, we can calculate the marks scored by all the students in all the tests as shown below in the table format:-
Thus, Esha scored the highest marks in Test 3.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
