Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
Ruchika’s monthly income = Rs 32000
Ravina’s monthly income = 32000 x (1 + $\frac{15}{100}$) = 32000 x $\frac{115}{100}$ = Rs. 36800
Ramola’s monthly income = 3 x 36800 = 110400
Ramola’s annual income = 12 x 110400 = 1324800
2) Answer (D)
Total employees = 4800
45% of employees are males = $\frac{45}{100}$ x 4800 = 2160
60% of 2160 are equal to or older than 25
So 40% of 2160 are younger than 25 years = $\frac{40}{100}$ x 2160 = 864
3) Answer (C)
Return speed = $\frac{40}{100}$ x 150 = 60 kmph
Average speed = $\frac{2 \times 40 \times 60}{(40 + 60)}$
$\frac{4800}{100}$ = 48kmph
4) Answer (B)
Required ratio = (40-34)/(34-30)=6/4=3/2
5) Answer (B)
Let the original price be Rs. 100.
New final price = 95% of (110% of Rs. 100) = Rs. 95/100×110/100×100 = Rs. 104.5
∴ Increase in price = 4.5%
6) Answer (C)
Let the numbers be a,b,c,d and e.
Now $\frac{a+b+c+d+e}{5}$=57.8*5
a+b+c+d+e=292
Now, $\frac{a+b}{2}$=77.5, a+b=155
Also, $\frac{d+e}{2}$=46, d+e=92.
Now, c=292-(a+b)-(d+e)=292-92-155=42.
Hence, the correct option is C.
7) Answer (A)
If the numerator (assume to be x) is increased by 100%, it becomes 2x
and the denominator(assume to be y) is increased by 200%, it becomes 3y.
The new fraction is $\frac{4}{27}$ = $\frac{2x}{3y}$
Hence, simplifying we get fraction has $\frac{2}{7}$
8) Answer (E)
Let the numbers be a,b,c,d,e.
Hence (a+b+c+d+e)/5=49
(a+b)/2=48, a+b=96.
(d+e)/2=28,d+e=56
c=245-96-56=93
9) Answer (D)
Let speed of train be x and speed of car be y.
Car covers 520km in 8 hrs, it’s speed= 520/8= 65km/hr
Speed of train = 3 * 65= 195km/hr
Distance covered by train in 13 hrs = 13*195= 2535km
10) Answer (D)
Let the original fraction be $\frac{X}{Y}$
After 400% increase, the numerator becomes $5X$ and after 500% increase, the denominator becomes $6Y$
Hence, the resulting fraction becomes $\frac{5X}{6Y}=\frac{10}{21}$
So, $\frac{X}{Y} = \frac{4}{7}$
11) Answer (A)
The number equals 8 times 17.25 = 138
Hence, 73% of the number equals 0.73*138 = 100.74
12) Answer (D)
Here, the salary is compounded every year.
Let salary be x.
22385=x(1+.1)2
x=18,500
13) Answer (C)
The average score of a cricketer for 13 matches is = 42 runs
Total score in 13 matches will be = 42*13 = 546
Total score of first 5 matches will be = 54*5 = 270
Hence, total score of last 8 matches = 546-270 = 276
So average of the last 8 matches will be = $\frac{276}{8} = 34.5$
14) Answer (A)
The average weight of 21 boys is 64 Kgs.
The average weight of 21 boys and the teacher is 65 Kgs.
So, total weight of 21 boys is 21*64 = 1344
The weight of 21 boys and the teacher = 22*65 = 1430
Hence, the weight of the teacher is 1430 – 1344 = 86 Kgs
15) Answer (E)
There are 9 numbers in the series:
Average =$\frac{253+124+255+534+836+375+101+443+760}{9}$ = 3681/9 = 409
16) Answer (D)
Let the total annual income of the three persons be x.
The given ratio is 84: 76: 89.
Riya’s share in this income would be$\frac{76x}{84+76+89}$ = $\frac{76x}{249}$
$\frac{76x}{249}$ = 456000
x = 14,94,000
Sum of Sita’s and Kunal’s annual incomes = Rs(14,94,000-4,56,000) = Rs 10,38,000
17) Answer (A)
The maximum marks of each subjec is 105
80% of 105 = 84
Since there are 5 subjects
Average marks =$\frac{Sum\ of\ all\ the\ marks}{5} = 84$
Sum of all the marks = 84*5 = 420
89+92+98+81+Science = 420
360+Science = 420
Science = 420-360 = 60
18) Answer (A)
Since the ages of A, B, C, D are consecutive
Let the ages of A, B, C, D be n, n+1,n+2,n+3
$\frac{n+n+1+n+2+n+3}{4} = 49.5$
4n+6 = 49.5*4 = 198
4n = 192
n = 48
Ages of A, B, C, D = 48, 49, 50 ,51
Product of ages of B and D = 49*51 = (50-1)(50+1) =$50^2-1$ = 2500-1 = 2449.
19) Answer (A)
Let the maximum aggregate marks be x
780/x – 728/x = 5/100
52/x = 1/20
x = 52*20 = 1040
20) Answer (D)
Let the salary in 2009 be x
Salary in 2010 = 1.1x
Salary in 2011 = 1.1x*1.1 = 1.21x
1.21x = 22385
x = 18500
