Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (E)

I.$x^{2} – 3x – 88 = 0$

=> $x^2 + 8x – 11x – 88 = 0$

=> $x (x + 8) – 11 (x + 8) = 0$

=> $(x + 8) (x – 11) = 0$

=> $x = -8 , 11$

II.$y^{2} + 8y – 48 = 0$

=> $y^2 + 12y – 4y – 48 = 0$

=> $y (y + 12) – 4 (y + 12) = 0$

=> $(y + 12) (y – 4) = 0$

=> $y = -12 , 4$

$\therefore$ No relation can be established.

2) Answer (C)

I.$5x^{2} + 29x + 20 = 0$

=> $5x^2 + 25x + 4x + 20 = 0$

=> $5x (x + 5) + 4 (x + 5) = 0$

=> $(x + 5) (5x + 4) = 0$

=> $x = -5 , \frac{-4}{5}$

II.$25y^{2} + 25y + 6 = 0$

=> $25y^2 + 10y + 15y + 6 = 0$

=> $5y (5y + 2) + 3 (5y + 2) = 0$

=> $(5y + 3) (5y + 2) = 0$

=> $y = \frac{-3}{5} , \frac{-2}{5}$

Therefore $x < y$

3) Answer (D)

I.$2x^{2} – 11x + 12 = 0$

=> $2x^2 – 8x – 3x + 12 = 0$

=> $2x (x – 4) – 3 (x – 4) = 0$

=> $(x – 4) (2x – 3) = 0$

=> $x = 4 , \frac{3}{2}$

II.$2y^{2} – 19y + 44 = 0$

=> $2y^2 – 8y – 11y + 44 = 0$

=> $2y (y – 4) – 11 (y – 4) = 0$

=> $(y – 4) (2y – 11) = 0$

=> $y = 4 , \frac{11}{2}$

$\therefore x \leq y$

4) Answer (E)

Prime numbers starting from 7 are added.

11 + 7 = 18

105 $\times 4 + (4 \times 4)$ = 436

436 $\times 5 + (5 \times 3)$ = 2195

2195 $\times 6 + (6 \times 2)$ = 13182

6) Answer (B)

Consecutive odd numbers starting from 11 in decreasing order are multiplied.

5 $\times 11$ = 55

55 $\times 9$ = 495

495 $\times 7$ = 3465

3465 $\times 5$ = 17325

17325 $\times 3$ = 51975

51975  $\times 1$ = 51975

7) Answer (A)

Squares of natural numbers are added

3 $+ 2^2$ = 7

7 $+ 3^2$ = 16

16 $+ 4^2$ = 32

32 $+ 5^2$ = 57

57 $+ 6^2$ = 93

93 $+ 7^2$ = 142

8) Answer (C)

The pattern followed is :

4 $\times 1 + 1$ = 5

5 $\times 2 + 2$ = 12

12 $\times 3 + 3$ = 39

39 $\times 4 + 4$ = 160

160 $\times 5 + 5$ = 805

805 $\times 6 + 6$ = 4836

9) Answer (D)

Expression : $45\% of 300 + \sqrt{?} = 56\% of 750 -10\% of 250$

=> $(\frac{45}{100} \times 300) + (\sqrt{?}) = (\frac{56}{100} \times 750) – (\frac{10}{100} \times 250)$

=> $135 + \sqrt{?} = 420 – 25$

=> $\sqrt{?} = 395 – 135 = 260$

=> $? = 260^2 = 67600$

10) Answer (B)

Expression : $895 + 440 \div 55 = ?$

= $895 + \frac{440}{55}$

= $895 + 8 = 903$

11) Answer (A)

Expression : $12 \times 8 + (?)^{2} = (14)^{2}$

=> $96 + (?)^2 = 196$

=> $? = \sqrt{196 – 96} = \sqrt{100}$

=> $? = 10$

12) Answer (E)

Expression : 48% of 840 = 36% of ?

=> $\frac{48}{100} * 840 = \frac{36}{100} * ?$

=> $? = \frac{48 \times 840}{36}$

=> $? = 1120$

13) Answer (B)

Expression : $7\frac{1}{6} of 186 + 565 = 2100-?$

=> $(\frac{43}{6} \times 186) + 565 = 2100 – ?$

=> $? = 2100 – 565 – 1333$

=> $? = 202$

14) Answer (D)

After servicing, the distance covered by car in 5 hours = 65 * 5 = 325 km

Without servicing, speed of car = 40 kmph

=> Required time = $\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

= $\frac{325}{40}$ = 8.125 hr

$\approx$ 8 hours

15) Answer (D)

Let ages of P,Q and R be $p,q,r$ respectively

According to ques, => $(p+r)+2q=59$ ————(i)

and $(q+r)+3p=68$ ————-(ii)

and $p+3q+3r=108$ ————(iii)

Multiplying equation (ii) by 3, => $3q+3r+9p = 204$ ———-(iv)

Subtracting equation (iii) from (iv), we get :

=> $(9p-p)=(204-108)$

=> $8p=96$

=> $p=\frac{96}{8}=12$ years

=> Ans – (D)

16) Answer (B)

Total number of balls = 2 + 3 + 2 = 7

Total number of outcomes = Drawing 2 balls out of 7

= $C^7_2 = \frac{7 \times 6}{1 \times 2} = 21$

Favourable outcomes = Drawing 2 balls out of 5 (so that none is blue)

= $C^5_2 = \frac{5 \times 4}{1 \times 2} = 10$

=> Required probability = $\frac{10}{21}$

17) Answer (D)

Time taken by boat to travel from point A to B in still water = 2 hours

To find the upstream speed, we definitely need the speed of stream, thus statement (iii) is mandatory.

Also, the distance between points A and B or the speed of boat in still water is needed.

Thus, statements (i) and (iii) are required to find the upstream speed of the boat.

=> Ans – (D)

18) Answer (A)

Let A remained in the business for $x$ months.

Amount invested by A = Rs. 3500

Amount invested by B = Rs. 4000

Ratio of share in profit received by A and B

=> $\frac{3500 \times x}{4000 \times 12} = \frac{7}{12}$

=> $\frac{7 x}{8 \times 12} = \frac{7}{12}$

=> $x = 8$

$\therefore$ 8 months from the start of the business A left the business.

19) Answer (A)

Percent increase in sale in May from January of commodity :

A = $\frac{50 – 30}{30} \times 100$ = 66.7%

B = $\frac{40 – 20}{20} \times 100$ = 100%

C = $\frac{35 – 5}{5} \times 100$ = 600%    [MAX]

D = $\frac{25 – 10}{10} \times 100$ = 150%

=> Ans – (A)

20) Answer (E)

Sale of C in May = 100

Percent increase in sale of C in June and July = 35% and 30% respectively

=> Sale of C in July = $100 \times \frac{135}{100} \times \frac{130}{100}$

= $135 \times 1.3 = 175.5$

=> Ans – (E)

21) Answer (E)

(A) : In July, A and B neither decline nor increase from previous year, thus it’s not true.

(B) : In August, A and D neither decline nor increase from previous year, thus it’s not true.

(C) : In April,all the commodities increase while in July A and B remained constant, thus it’s not true.

(D) : In May only B show decline, and in June and July none of the commodities declined, thus it’s not true.

=> Ans – (E)

22) Answer (C)

Average percentage increase for the four commodities in :

Jan = $\frac{30 + 20 + 5 + 10}{4}$ = 16.25     [LOWEST]

Feb = $\frac{30 + 40 + 15 + 10}{4}$ = 23.75

Mar = $\frac{30 + 40 + 25 + 20}{4}$ = 28.75

Apr = $\frac{40 + 50 + 30 + 20}{4}$ = 35

May = $\frac{50 + 40 + 35 + 25}{4}$ = 37.5

Jun = $\frac{60 + 40 + 35 + 30}{4}$ = 41.25

Jul = $\frac{60 + 40 + 30 + 20}{4}$ = 37.5

Aug = $\frac{60 + 30 + 10 + 20}{4}$ = 30

=> Ans – (C)

23) Answer (D)

The sale of commodity A is constant from January to March and from June to August.

It kept increasing from March to June constantly.

Thus, Only in April, May and June, commodity A showed good increase.

=> Ans – (D)

24) Answer (D)

Total employees in both companies = 4800

=> Employees in company A = $\frac{5}{12} \times 4800 = 2000$

In company A, total males = $\frac{70}{100} \times 2000 = 1400$

Male employees who work in Ops = $\frac{60}{100} \times 1400 = 840$

=> Male employees who work in Admin = $\frac{1}{8} \times 560 = 70$

Total females in company A = $2000 – 1400 = 600$

Female employees who work in Admin = $\frac{24}{100} \times 600 = 144$

=> Female employees who work in Ops = $\frac{5}{8} \times 456 = 285$

=> Employees working in company B = $4800 – 2000 = 2800$

Similarly, employees working in company B :

Total males in company A = 70 + 840 + 490 = 1400

=> Required % = $\frac{490}{1400} \times 100 = 35 \%$

25) Answer (B)

Total employees in both companies = 4800

27) Answer (A)

Total employees in both companies = 4800

=> Employees in company A = $\frac{5}{12} \times 4800 = 2000$

In company A, total males = $\frac{70}{100} \times 2000 = 1400$

Male employees who work in Ops = $\frac{60}{100} \times 1400 = 840$

=> Male employees who work in Admin = $\frac{1}{8} \times 560 = 70$

Total females in company A = $2000 – 1400 = 600$

Female employees who work in Admin = $\frac{24}{100} \times 600 = 144$

=> Female employees who work in Ops = $\frac{5}{8} \times 456 = 285$

=> Employees working in company B = $4800 – 2000 = 2800$

Similarly, employees working in company B :

Number of males working in ‘Admin’ in both the companies together = 70 + 196 = 266

=> Average = $\frac{266}{2} = 133$

Number of females working in ‘Other Departments’ in both the companies together = 171 + 147 = 318

=> Average = $\frac{318}{2} = 159$

$\therefore$ Difference = 159 – 133 = 26

28) Answer (B)

Total employees in both companies = 4800

=> Employees in company A = $\frac{5}{12} \times 4800 = 2000$

In company A, total males = $\frac{70}{100} \times 2000 = 1400$

Male employees who work in Ops = $\frac{60}{100} \times 1400 = 840$

=> Male employees who work in Admin = $\frac{1}{8} \times 560 = 70$

Total females in company A = $2000 – 1400 = 600$

Female employees who work in Admin = $\frac{24}{100} \times 600 = 144$

=> Female employees who work in Ops = $\frac{5}{8} \times 456 = 285$

=> Employees working in company B = $4800 – 2000 = 2800$

Similarly, employees working in company B :

In company B,

Total number of employees (both male and female) who work in ‘Admin’ = 196 + 49 = 245

Total number of employees (both male and female) who work in ‘Other department’ = 588 + 147 = 735

=> Required ratio = $\frac{245}{735} = 1 : 3$

29) Answer (B)

Number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store B

= $\frac{21}{100} \times 6400 = 1344$

Number of Nokia cellular phones sold by store A

= $\frac{24}{100} \times 3000 = 720$

=> Required % = $\frac{1344 – 720}{720} \times 100$

= $\frac{260}{3} = 86 \frac{2}{3} \%$

30) Answer (E)

% of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store D = 33%

$\because 100 \% \equiv 360$°

=> $33 \% \equiv \frac{360}{100} \times 33$

= $118.8$°

31) Answer (B)

% of cellular phones (both nokia and samsung) sold by stores B,C and D together = (21 + 15 + 33)% = 69%

=> Number of cellular phones (both nokia and samsung) sold by stores B,C and D together

= $\frac{69}{100} \times 6400 = 4416$

% of nokia phones sold by stores B,C and D together = (18 + 20 + 30)% = 68%

=> Number of nokia phones sold by stores B,C and D together

= $\frac{68}{100} \times 3000 = 2040$

=> Total number of Samsung cellular phones sold by stores B, C and D = 4416 – 2040 = 2376

$\therefore$ Required average = $\frac{2376}{3} = 792$

32) Answer (B)

Number of cellular phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store A

= $\frac{19}{100} \times 6400 = 1216$

% of Nokia cellular phones sold by stores B and E together = (18 + 8)% = 26%

=> Number of Nokia cellular phones sold by stores B and E together = $\frac{26}{100} \times 3000 = 780$

$\therefore$ Required difference = $1216 – 780 = 436$

33) Answer (A)

Total number of phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store E = $\frac{12}{100} \times 6400 = 768$

Nokia phones sold by store E = $\frac{8}{100} \times 3000 = 240$

=> Samsung cellular phones sold by store E = $768 – 240 = 528$

Number of phones (both Nokia and Samsung) sold by store C = $\frac{15}{100} \times 6400 = 960$

=> Required % = $\frac{528}{960} \times 100 = 55\%$

34) Answer (E)

I : Let base of the triangle = $4x$ m

=> Height of triangle = $\frac{3}{4} \times 4x = 3x$ m

There is no other info, so I alone is insufficient.

Similarly, II alone is also insufficient.

Combining both statements, and using pythagoras theorem, we get :

=> $(3x)^2 + (4x)^2 = (5^2)$

=> $9x^2 + 16x^2 = 25$

=> $x^2 = \frac{25}{25} = 1$

=> $x = \sqrt{1} = 1$

=> Base = 4 m and height = 3 m

$\therefore$ Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 4 = 6 m^2$

Thus, both statements together are sufficient.

35) Answer (E)

I : Let present age of son = $x$ years

=> Present age of father = $5x$ years.

There is no other information, so statement I is not sufficient.

Similarly, II alone is not sufficient.

Combining both statements, we get :

=> $(5x – 5) = 15 (x – 5)$

=> $5x – 5 = 15x – 75$

=> $15x – 5x = 75 – 5$

=> $10x = 70$ => $x = \frac{70}{10} = 7$

$\therefore$ father’s age = $5 \times 7 = 35$ years.

Thus, both statements together are sufficient.
