Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (B)

Let mixture in vessel A = $x$ ml

and mixture in vessel B = $y$ ml

=> Milk in vessel A = $\frac{4x}{7}$

Milk in vessel B = $\frac{2y}{5}$

Acc to ques,

=> $\frac{4x}{7} + \frac{2y}{5} = \frac{1}{2} (x + y)$

=> $\frac{4x}{7} – \frac{x}{2} = \frac{y}{2} – \frac{2y}{5}$

=> $\frac{x}{14} = \frac{y}{10}$

=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{14}{10} = \frac{7}{5}$

2) Answer (E)

Let A ,B and C respectively = $x , 2x , 3x$

=> Sum of A , B and C = $x + 2x + 3x = 3 \times 600$

=> $6x = 1800$

=> $x = \frac{1800}{6} = 300$

=> $A = 300 , B = 600 , C = 900$

Value of A after increment = $\frac{110}{100} \times 300 = 330$

Value of B after increment = $\frac{80}{100} \times 600 = 480$

New value of average = $\frac{105}{100} \times 600 = 630$

Acc to ques,

=> $\frac{330 + 480 + C’}{3} = 630$

=> $810 + C’ = 3 \times 630 = 1890$

=> $C’ = 1890 – 810 = 1080$

$\therefore$ C is increased by = 1080 – 900 = 180

3) Answer (A)

Quantity of milk in 27 litre mixture = $\frac{4}{4 + 5} \times 27 = 12$ litre

Quantity of water = $27 – 12 = 15$ litre

Ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = $70 : 30 = 7 : 3$

Acc to ques,

=> $\frac{X + 12}{15} = \frac{7}{3}$

=> $3X + 36 = 15 \times 7 = 105$

=> $3X = 105 – 36 = 69$

=> $X = \frac{69}{3} = 23$ litre

4) Answer (B)

Let the amount with Abhay , Vinay, Vinay’s mother and grocer be $A, V , V_m and G $ respectively
From the data given in question
$V = \frac{3}{10} A$
$ V_m = \frac{2}{3} V = \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{10} A $
$C = \frac{5}{8} V_m$
Vinay’s mother has 600 left after giving money to the grocer.
$\frac{3}{8} V_m =600$
$\frac{3}{8} \times \frac{2}{3} \times \frac{3}{10} A =600$
$A = 8000$
Option B is the correct answer.

5) Answer (A)

M’s share = 3/8
N’s share = 1/6 of remaining = 1/6 of 5/8 = 5/48

Remaining share = 1 – $\frac{18+5}{48}$

O’s share = $\frac{3}{7}$ * $\frac{25}{48}$ * 44352

Hence Rs 9900

6) Answer (B)

Let the angles of the triangle be $19x , 10x , 7x$

=> Sum of angles = $19x + 10x + 7x = 180^{\circ}$

=> $36x = 180^{\circ}$

=> $x = \frac{180}{36} = 5^{\circ}$

=> Angles are = $95^{\circ} , 50^{\circ} , 35^{\circ}$

$\therefore$ Sum of thrice the smallest angle and the twice the largest angle

= $(3 \times 35^{\circ}) + (2 \times 95^{\circ})$

= $105 + 190 = 295^{\circ}$

7) Answer (D)

Let the ages of Meena and Sita 5 years ago be $3x$ and $4x$ years

=> Present age of Meena = $(3x + 5)$ years

Present age of Sita = $(4x + 5)$ years

Acc. to ques,

=> $\frac{3x + 10}{4x + 10} = \frac{5}{6}$

=> $18x + 60 = 20x + 50$

=> $2x = 60 – 50 = 10$

=> $x = \frac{10}{2} = 5$

$\therefore$ Present age of Meena = $(3 \times 5 + 5) = 20$ years

8) Answer (A)

Let Kajal’s monthly salary = Rs. $100x$

Amount spent by Kajal = $\frac{55}{100} \times 100x = $Rs. $55x$

=> Amount spent on clothes = $\frac{2}{(4 + 2 + 5)} \times 55x = 10x$

Acc to ques,

=> $10x = 5540$

=> $x = 554$

$\therefore$ Kajal’s monthly salary = $100 \times 554$ = Rs. 55,400

9) Answer (C)

Let the number of 1 rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise coins = $10x , 8x , 5x$

=> Total amount = $(10x \times 1) + (8x \times \frac{1}{2}) + (5x \times \frac{1}{4}) = 976$

=> $14x + \frac{5x}{4} = 976$

=> $\frac{61x}{4} = 976$

=> $x = \frac{976 \times 4}{61} = 64$

$\therefore$ No. of 25 paise coins = 5 * 64 = 320

10) Answer (A)

Let amount invested by A = $Rs. 18x$

=> Amount invested by B = $Rs. 7x$

After four months from the start of the business, A invested Rs. 2000 more and B invested Rs. 7000 more

Thus, ratio of profit received by A : B

= $[(18x \times 4) + (18x + 2000) \times 8] : [(7x \times 4) + (7x + 7000) \times 8]$

= $(72x + 144x + 16000) : (28x + 56x + 56000)$

= $(216x + 16000) : (84x + 56000) = (54x + 4000) : (21x + 14000)$

Acc. to ques, => $\frac{54x + 4000}{21x + 14000} = \frac{2}{1}$

=> $54x + 4000 = 42x + 28000$

=> $54x – 42x = 12x = 28000 – 4000 = 24000$

=> $x = \frac{24000}{12} = 2000$

$\therefore$ Total initial investment = $18x + 7x = 25x$

= $25 \times 2000 = Rs. 50,000$

11) Answer (B)

Quantity of milk in vessel = $\frac{22}{25} \times 100 = 88$ litres

=> Quantity of water = $100 – 88 = 12$ litres

40 litres of the mixture is taken out, i.e., $\frac{40}{100} = (\frac{2}{5})^{th}$

=> Milk left = $88 – \frac{2}{5} \times 88 = 52.8$ litres

Water left = $12 – \frac{2}{5} \times 12 = 7.2$ litres

Now, 4.8 lires of milk and water are added.

=> Quantity of milk in the vessel = 52.8 + 4.8 = 57.6 litres

Quantity of water in the vessel = 7.2 + 4.8 = 12 litres

$\therefore$ Required % = $\frac{57.6 – 12}{57.6} \times 100$

= $\frac{475}{6} = 79 \frac{1}{6} \%$

12) Answer (B)

Jar A has 60 litres of mixture of milk and water in the respective ratio of 2 : 1

=> Quantity of milk in Jar A = $\frac{2}{3} \times 60 = 40$ litres

Quantity of water in Jar A = $60 – 40 = 20$ itres

Let quantity of water in Jar B = $x$ litres

=> Quantity of milk in Jar B = $(40 – x)$ litres

Acc. to ques, => $\frac{40 + (40 – x)}{20 + x} = \frac{13}{7}$

=> $560 – 7x = 260 + 13x$

=> $13x + 7x = 560 – 260$

=> $20x = 300$

=> $x = \frac{300}{20} = 15$ litres

13) Answer (C)

Let the numbers be $100x$ and $100y$

We need to find = $\frac{100x}{100y} = \frac{x}{y} = ?$

Acc to ques,

=> $\frac{48}{100} * 100x = \frac{60}{100} * 100y$

=> $48x = 60y$

=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{60}{48} = \frac{5}{4}$

=> $x:y = 5:4$

14) Answer (D)

Let the total amount to be divided = $27x$

A : B : C : D = 4 : 5 : 7 : 11

=> Share of C = $\frac{7}{27} * 27x = 1351$

=> $x = \frac{1351}{7} = 193$

Now, total amount of money with A & D together

= $\frac{4 + 11}{27} * 27x$

= $15 * 193 = $Rs. $2,895$

15) Answer (C)

Let the numbers be $100x$ and $100y$

We need to find = $\frac{100x}{100y} = \frac{x}{y} = ?$

Acc to ques,

=> $\frac{38}{100} * 100x = \frac{52}{100} * 100y$

=> $38x = 52y$

=> $\frac{x}{y} = \frac{52}{38} = \frac{26}{19}$

=> $x : y = 26 : 19$

16) Answer (A)

Let present age of Jagannath = $9x$ years

=> Badri’s present age = $5x$ years

According to ques, => $(9x-6)=2 \times (5x-6)$

=> $9x-6=10x-12$

=> $10x-9x=12-6$

=> $x=6$

$\therefore$ Difference between their present ages = $9x-5x=4x$

= $4 \times 6=24$

=> Ans – (A)

17) Answer (B)

Let amount received by Sudhir,Soni and Shakunthala be $2x,3x$ and $5x$ respectively.

=> Total amount = $(2x+3x+5x)=125,000$

=> $10x=125,000$

=> $x=\frac{125,000}{10}=12500$

$\therefore$ Difference between Soni’s and Sudhir’s  Share = $3x-2x=x = Rs.$ $12,500$

=> Ans – (B)

18) Answer (C)

Let the total quantity of mixture in the vessel initially = $17x$ litres

=> Quantity of milk = $\frac{14}{17} \times 17x = 14x$ litres

Quantity of water = $17x – 14x = 3x$ litres

Acc. to ques,

=> $\frac{14x – (\frac{14}{17} \times 25.5) + 5}{3x – (\frac{3}{17} \times 25.5) + 2.5} = \frac{80}{20}$

=> $\frac{14x – 21 + 5}{3x – 4.5 + 2.5} = \frac{4}{1}$

=> $\frac{14x – 16}{3x – 2} = \frac{4}{1}$

=> $14x – 16 = 12x – 8$

=> $14x – 12x = 16 – 8$

=> $x = \frac{8}{2} = 4$

$\therefore$ Initial quantity of mixture in the vessel before the replacement = $17 \times 4 = 68$ litres

19) Answer (B)

Let the length and breadth of the rectangular field be $8x$ m and $7x$ m respectively.

Perimeter = $2 (8x + 7x) = 240$

=> $15x = \frac{240}{2} = 120$

=> $x = \frac{120}{15} = 8$

$\therefore$ Area of field = $8x \times 7x = 56 x^2$

= $56 \times (8)^2 = 3584 m^2$

20) Answer (D)

Let monthly salary of Rene = $Rs. 1500x$

=> Monthly salary of Som = $Rs. 900x$

Amount given as rent by Rene = $\frac{1}{6} \times 1500x = 250x$

Amount given by Rene to her mother = $\frac{1}{5} \times 1500x = 300x$

Amount for loan = $\frac{30}{100} \times 1500x = 450x$

Amount kept aside = $\frac{25}{100} \times 1500x = 375x$

=> Amount left = $1500x – (250x + 300x + 450x + 375x) = 5000$

=> $1500x – 1375x = 125x = 5000$

=> $x = \frac{5000}{125} = 40$

$\therefore$ Som’s salary = $900 \times 40 = Rs. 36,000$
