Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (E)

7 = 1 + 1 + 5 = 2 + 2 + 3 = 3 + 3 + 1 = 1 + 2 + 4
Thus, the probability that sum of the number on the faces of the dice is 7 = (3C1+3C1+3C1+3!)/216 = 15/216 = X
10 = 6 + 3 + 1 = 6 + 2 + 2 = 5 + 3 + 2 = 4 + 4 + 2 = 4 + 3 + 3 = 1 + 4 + 5
Thus, the probability that sum of the number on the faces of the dice is 14 = (3C1+3C1+3C1+3!)/216 = 15/216 = Y
Hence, X=Y
Hence, option E is the correct answer.

2) Answer (A)

Let the quantity of A and B be 9L.
Thus, the amount of p and q in A is 3L and 6L respectively.
Also, the amount of p and q in B is 5L and 4L respectively.
A and B are mixed in the ratio 3:4 to form solution C.
Thus, the amount of p and q in solution C = (3*3+5*4):(6*3+4*4) = 29:34=X
Solution A and Solution B are mixed in the ratio 5:3 to form the solution D.
Thus, the amount of p and q in solution D = (5*3+5*3):(6*5+4*3) = 30:42=Y
Hence, X>Y
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

3) Answer (B)

Let the CP be 10 Rs.
Thus, 6*10 = 4*SP. Thus, SP = 15 Rs
MP = 2*10 = 20 Rs
% discount = $\frac{20-15}{20}$ = 25% = X
% profit = $\frac{15-10}{10}$ = 50% = Y
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

4) Answer (A)

Total possible combinations = 36.
Sum of the number on the faces of the dice is 7 will be for (1,6),(6,1),(2,5),(5,2),(3,4) and (4,3)
Thus, X = 6/36
Sum of the number on the faces of the dice is 5 will be for (1,4),(4,1),(2,3) and (3,2).
Thus, Y = 4/36
Hence, X>Y
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

5) Answer (E)

a and b are the roots of the quadratic equation $x^2-12x+25 = 0$
Thus, a+b = 12 and ab = 25
Thus, $a^3+b^3+4$ = $(a+b)^3-3ab(a+b)+4 = 13^3-3*25*13 = 832$
c and d are the roots of the equation $x^2-11x+15x = 0$
Thus, c+d = 11 and cd=15
Thus, $c^3+d^3-4$ = $(c+d)^3-3cd(c+d)-4$ = $11^3-3*11*15-4 = 832$
Thus, X=Y.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.

6) Answer (E)

Quantity 1: Selling price of the article = $\dfrac{100+20}{100}\times 800$ = Rs. 960
Quantity 2: Cost price of the article = $\dfrac{100}{100-40}\times 576$ = Rs. 960
We can see that Quantity 1 = Quantity 2. Hence, option E is the correct answer.

7) Answer (A)

Quantity 1: Simple interest earned by Ramesh = 6000*0.20*3 = Rs. 3600.
Quantity 2: Compound interest earned by Suresh = $5000(1 +\dfrac{25}{100})^2 – 5000$ = Rs. 2812.50.
Hence, we can say that Quantity 1 > Quantity 2. Option A is the correct answer.

8) Answer (A)

Quantity 1: Radius of the cylinder = $\dfrac{88}{2\pi}$ = 14 cm
Therefore, the volume of the cylinder = $\pi*14^2*10$ = 6160 $\text{cm}^3$
Quantity 2: Volume of the sphere = $\dfrac{4\pi}{3}10.5^3$ = 4849 $\text{cm}^3$
Hence, we can say that Quantity 1 > Quantity 2. Option A is the correct answer.

9) Answer (C)

Quantity 1: The surface area of a cuboid whose side lengths are 20 cm, 30 cm and 50 cm = 2(20*30 + 30*50 + 50*20) = 6200 $\text{cm}^2$.

Quantity 2: The curved surface area of a hemisphere of 35 cm radius = $2\pi*(35)^2$ = 7700 $\text{cm}^2$.

Hence we can say that Quantity 1 < Quantity 2. Option C is the correct answer.

10) Answer (C)

Quantity 1: Cost price of the article = $\dfrac{100}{100+15}\times 345$ = Rs. 300
Quantity 2: Selling price of the article = $\dfrac{100-20}{100}\times 400$ = Rs. 320
We can see that Quantity 1 < Quantity 2. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

11) Answer (E)

Simple interest paid to bank = 5000*0.23*3 = Rs. 3450
Compound interest paid to bank = $5000(1 + \dfrac{30}{100})^2 – 5000$ = Rs. 3450
Hence, we can say that Quantity 1 = Quantity 2. Option E is the correct answer.

12) Answer (C)

Volume of a cube whose length of a side is 50 cm = $50^3$ = $125000$
Volume of right-circular cone whose height is 100 cm and radius of circular base is 50 cm = $\dfrac{\pi}{3}\times 50^2*50$ = $\dfrac{125000\pi}{3}$
Hence, we can say that Quantity 1 < Quantity 2. Option C is the correct answer.

13) Answer (A)

Quantity 1: Area of the equilateral triangle with side equals to 56 cm = $\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{4}\times 56^2$ = 1357.93 sq.cm
Quantity 2: Area of square with side equals to 35 cm = $35^2$ = 1225 sq. cm
Hence, we can say that Quantity 1 > Quantity 2. Option A is the correct answer.

14) Answer (B)

The amount of milk with Ramesh at the end = 400*0.8*0.75*0.6 = 144L= X
The amount of milk Suresh is left with at the end = 500*0.7*0.6*0.7 = 147L = Y
Hence, Y>X
Thus, option B is the correct answer.

15) Answer (A)

Let the amount of solution A and solution B be 56L.
In solution A p is 21L and q is 35L.
In solution B p is 32L and q is 24L.
In solution C p:q = 53:59 = (21*m+32*n):(35*m+24*n)
Solving we get, m:n = 1:1 = X
In solution D p:q = 191:201 = (21*k+32*l):(35*k+24*l)
Solving we get k:l = 3:4 = Y
Thus, X > Y
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

16) Answer (A)

Let the CP of the article be x.
Thus CP of 3 articles = 3x.
MP = 1.4x
He gives 1 item free for every 2 items bought. Y is the revenue earned by selling 3 articles.
Y = 2.8x
Thus, X>Y.
hence, option A is the correct answer.

17) Answer (B)

Let the amount of A and B be 5L each.
Thus, the amount of p and q in A is 3L and 2L and the amount of p and q is 1L and 4L.
15L of A and 25L of B is taken to form C.
Thus, in solution C the ratio of p:q = (3*3+1*5):(2*3+4*5) = 14:26 = 7:13 = X
10L of A and 15L of B is taken to form D
Thus, in solution D the ratio of p:q = (3*2+1*3):(2*2+4*3) = 9:16= Y
Thus, Y>X.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

18) Answer (B)

5 men can complete a job in 6 days. Thus, 1 men will take 30 days to complete the work. In 1 day 1 man will complete $\frac{1}{30}$ of the work.
Let W be the number of days 1 women will take to complete the work and C be the number of days 1 children will take to complete the work
As per the given Condition,
$\frac{12}{W}+\frac{6}{C} = \frac{7}{20}$
$\frac{20}{7}+\frac{20}{91} = \frac{13}{40}$ = number of days 6 women and 12 children will take.
and $\frac{6}{W}+\frac{12}{C} = \frac{13}{40}$
Solving these 2 equation we get W = 48 and C = 60
Thus, the number of it will take 8 women and 12 children to complete the work = $\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{8}{48}+\dfrac{12}{60}} = \dfrac{60}{22}$ = X
the number of days it will take 2 men and 15 children to complete the work =
$\dfrac{1}{\dfrac{2}{30}+\dfrac{15}{60}} = \dfrac{60}{19}$ = Y
Thus, Y>X
Hence, option B is the correct answer.

19) Answer (A)

On solving $x^2 – 11x + 30 = 0$,
$x = 5$ or $x = 6$
On solving $y^2 + 6y – 16 = 0$,
$y = 2$ or $y = -8$
We can see that $x > y$ for all values of x and y.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

20) Answer (B)

On solving $2x^2 – 33x + 133 = 0$,
$x = 7$ or $x = 8.5$
On solving $y^2 – 4y – 21 = 0$,
$y = 7$ or $y = -3$
We can see that $x \geq y$ for all values of x and y.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
