Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (B)
2) Answer (C)
3) Answer (B)
4) Answer (D)
5) Answer (C)
6) Answer (C)
7) Answer (B)
8) Answer (B)
9) Answer (C)
10) Answer (C)
11) Answer (A)
12) Answer (D)
13) Answer (A)
14) Answer (B)
The ratio of the number of students studying in schools A, B and C = 5: 6: 8.
Now, if the number of students in each of the schools is increased by 30% 25% and 25% respectively, the ratio = 5*1.3:6*1.25:8*1.25
= 6.5:7.5:10
= 13:15:20
Hence, the correct option is option B.
15) Answer (A)
Now,
A:B = 1:3 = 15:45
B:C = 5:7 = 45:63
C:D = 9:7 = 63:49
Now, A:B:C:D = 15:45:63:49
Therefore, the correct option is option A.
16) Answer (D)
Dry grapes contain 10% water.
Weight of dry grapes = 250kg
Therefore, weight of water part = 10% of 250 =kg
Weight of pulp part = 225 kg
Now, for fresh grapes to contain 80% water, 20% is pulp part.
20% of x = 225
x = 1225 kg
Therefore, the weight of grapes is = 1225kg
Option D is correct answer.
17) Answer (A)
Side of triangle = 12 of (1/8)th units = 12*(1/8) = 1.5 inches.
Now, x of (1/12)th units = 1.5 inches
Hence, x = 18.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
18) Answer (B)
Let the common multiple be x.
Now, the materials cost is 234
Hence, (3/8)x = 234 i.e x = 624
Now, cost of labour = (4/8)x = (1/2) * 624 =312
Therefore, the correct option is option B.
19) Answer (B)
Let the number of students be n and cost of food per student be x.
Now, 500/n = x
Also, lateron cost increases by 5when 5 students don’t come.
500/(n-5) = x+5
500/(n-5) = 500/n +5
Solving we get
n = 25
Hence, number of students attending picnic was 20.
20) Answer (D)
Let the speed of A and B be x and y.
Hence, (x/y) = 2/3
Also, let the distance be D.
Therefore, D/x – D/y = 10
Hence, we get D/x = 30
x = D/30
Now if the speed was double i.e 2x, time required to cover same distance= D/(2x) = D/(D/15) = 15 minutes.
Therefore, the correct option is option D.
