Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (C)
Let ‘N’ be the last two digits of the number $67^{225}$.
We can say that N = $67^{225}$ mod $100$
$\Rightarrow$ N = $(67^{224}*67)$ mod $100$
$\Rightarrow$ N = $((67^2)^{112}*67)$ mod $100$
$\Rightarrow$ N = $({4489}^{112}*67)$ mod $100$
$\Rightarrow$ N = $({89}^{112}*67)$ mod $100$
$\Rightarrow$ N = $({11}^{112}*67)$ mod $100$
$\Rightarrow$ N = $(21*67)$ mod $100$
$\Rightarrow$ N = 07
2) Answer (E)
Sum of first 25 odd natural numbers = 1 + 3 + 5 +… + 49 = $(25)^2$ = 625
Sum of the next 25 odd natural numbers = sum of first 50 odd natural numbers – sum of first 25 odd natural numbers
Sum of the next 25 odd natural numbers = $(50)^2$ – $(25)^2$ = 1875
Hence the required ration = 625 : 1875 = 1 : 3.
Hence, option E is the correct answer.
3) Answer (A)
Let $x$ be the two-digit number, $y$ be the three-digit number. Putting together the given, we have
$1000x + y = 9xy$
$\Rightarrow$ $9xy – 1000x – y = 0$
$\Rightarrow$ $(9x – 1)(y – \dfrac{1000}{9})$ = $\dfrac{1000}{9}$
$\Rightarrow$ $(9x – 1)(9y – 1000) = 1000$
We know that $x$ is a two digit number hence 89 $\leq$ (9x – 1) $\leq$ 890.
Hence, we have to check the solution for every divisor of 1000 which is greater than 89 and less than 890.
Divisors of 1000, which are greater than 89 and less than 890 = (100, 125, 200, 250, 500)
We can see that only at (9x – 1) = 125, (9y – 1000) = 8
i.e. y = 112 also (9x – 1) = 125, i.e. x = 14
For any other value of (9x – 1) we get non integer values of y which is not possible because y is a three digit number.
Hence, the required sum = x + y = 14 + 112 = 126.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
4) Answer (C)
There are 5+4+3 = 12 balls in total.
Ram can draw 3 balls in 12C3 = 220 ways.
Now, all the 3 balls drawn by Ram can be of black, green, or yellow colour.
All the balls drawn by Ram can be of the same colour in 5C3 + 4C3 + 3C3 = 10+4+1 = 15 ways.
=> Number of ways in which Ram can draw 3 balls such that all 3 of them are not of the same colour = 220 – 15 = 205.
The required probability is 205/220 = 41/44.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.
5) Answer: 6
Let ‘ab’ be the two digit number. Where b $\neq$ 0.
We will get number ‘ba’ after interchanging its digit.
It is given that 10a+b > 3*(10b + a)
7a > 29b
If b = 1, then a = {5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
If b = 2, then a = {9}
If b = 3, then no value of ‘a’ is possible. Hence, we can say that there are a total of 6 such numbers.
6) Answer (C)
GULLIBLE contains 8 letters.
There are 5 consonants. Therefore, 6 spaces will be created around these consonants.
The consonants can be arranged in 5!/3! = 20 ways.
The 3 vowels can be put in any 3 of these 6 spaces.
The 3 spaces can be selected in 6C3 = 20 ways.
The 3 vowels can be arranged in 3! = 6 ways.
Therefore, the total number of ways in which the letters of the word GULLIBLE can be arranged such that no 2 vowels are together is 20*20*6 = 2400.
Therefore, option C is the right answer.
7) Answer (D)
The area of the square mat is $100 cm^2$. Therefore, the side of the mat must be $\sqrt{100}$ = $10 cm$.
The centre of the coin must be at least $1.5 cm$ away from the edge of the mat if the coin were to lie completely within the mat. Therefore, the area within which the centre of the coin can fall will be a square of side $10 – 2*1.5$ = $7 cm$.
Therefore, the area inside which the centre of the coin can fall = $49 cm^2$.
Total area = $100 cm^2$.
Therefore, the probability is $\frac{49}{100}$ = $0.49$. Hence, option D is the right answer.
8) Answer (C)
8 students can be distributed as (3,3,2) or (2,2,4).
Now, let us solve the cases separately and then finally add them.
Case 1: (3,3,2)
The class that gets 2 students can be selected in 3C2 = 3 ways.
Now, the 2 students can be selected in 8C2 = 28 ways.
The 3 students for the second class can be chosen in 6C3 = 20 ways.
Therefore, the arrangement (3,3,2) can be done in 3*28*20 = 1680 ways.
Case 2: (2,2,4)
The class that gets 4 students can be selected in 3C1 = 3 ways.
Now, 4 students for this class can be selected in 8C4 = 70 ways.
The 2 students for the second class can be chosen in 4C2 = 6 ways.
Therefore, the arrangement (2,2,4) can be done in 3*70*6 = 1260 ways.
Therefore, the total number of ways in which 8 students can be allotted 3 classes such that each class gets at least 2 students is 1680 + 1260 = 2940 ways. Therefore, option C is the right answer.
9) Answer (B)
The square of the number is added to product of the numerical values of the letters. The letter corresponding to the resulting number is written.
A3B : $3^2 + (1)(2)$
A3B : I (11)
Similarly,
D2E : $2^2 + (4)(5)$
D2E: X (24)
10) Answer (A)
A + 11 = L
F – 11 = U
P + 11 = A
J – 11 = Y
Hence, option A is the right answer.
11) Answer (B)
The given statements can be expressed diagrammatically as follows:
Total distance traveled in the North-South direction = $10 + 8 = 18$ m
Total distance traveled in the East- West direction = $105 – 25 = 80 $m
Applying Pythagoras theorem, we get, distance = $\sqrt{18^2 + 80^2}$
=$\sqrt{324 + 6400}$
=$\sqrt{6724}$
=$82$ m.
Therefore, option B is the right answer.
12) Answer (C)
Refer to the diagram below –
The horizontal distance towards the north will be the shortest distance which is 7 -5 = 2 km
Hence, option C is the right answer.
13) Answer (C)
The currency of the USA is dollar and currency of Finland is Euro.
Hence, option C is the right answer.
14) Answer (B)
Wealth is kept in a coffer. Similar relationship is shared by cadaver (corpse) and coffin. Hence, option B is the correct answer.
15) Answer (B)
Prime Minister is the head of the Government for the country and Chief Minister is the head of the Government for the state. So, option b) is the correct answer.
16) Answer (D)
Ravi’s mother’s father in law’s only child will be Ravi’s father. Since Ravi is only son of his parents so the photograph must be of Ravi himself. Thus, option D is the right answer.
17) Answer (B)
Refer to the following diagram –
Since G is the daughter of H and P is the sister of G, P also must be the daughter of H. Also, J is the mother of H so J must be grandmother of P.
Hence, option B is the right choice.
18) Answer (B)
From the question, we understand that Amit’s father has two sisters. We want to know how the daughter of the elder sister is related to the daughter of the younger sister. So, they are cousins.
19) Answer (C)
Paul’s maternal uncle is Fanny. Since Paul is Peter’s sister’s son, Peter is also the maternal uncle of Paul. John is the son of Peter. So, John and Paul are cousins.
20) Answer (C)
Today is Saturday.
Each day of the week is repeated after every 7 days.
Hence, after 42 days it will be Saturday.
So after 43 days, it will be Sunday.
So the answer is option C.
21) Answer (A)
We know that all the years that are a multiple of 4 but are not centuries are leap years.
Hence, 1864 and 1624 are leap years.
Also, all the years that are multiple of 400 are leap years.
Hence, 2000 is a leap year.
=> 1800 is not a leap year.
22) Answer (D)
Refer to the following diagram.
When north-west direction becomes south, the axes rotate by 135 degrees in a counter-clockwise direction. All the directions will rotate in this way only. North East is 135 degrees counter clockwise to south.
23) Answer (A)
There are 7 years between the two except two of them are leap years.
In a normal year, there are 365 days. 365 when divided by 7 leaves a reminder of 1. So, 1 July of a year and 1 July of the previous year are one weekday apart. If it is a leap year, 1 July of a year and 1 July of a previous year are separated by 2 weekdays. So, If July 1, 1977 was a Friday, 1st july 1976 is a Thursday and 1st july 1975-tuesday 1st july 1974-monday 1st july 1973-sunday 1st july 1972-saturday 1st july 1971-thrusday 1st july 1970- wednesday
24) Answer (B)
‘c’ comes before ‘d’. Hence, ‘racial’ will be the first word in the dictionary order. ‘t’ comes after ‘d’. Hence, ‘rational’ will be the last word in the dictionary. ‘a’ comes first followed by ‘c’ and then o. Hence, the order of first three words will be radiation, radical and then radio. Thus, the correct order of the words will be 52134. Thus, option B is correct.
25) Answer (B)
Clearly, Euphemism is the last word since ‘E’ is followed by U.
Ephemeral is the first word since ‘h’ comes before ‘i’ in the alphabetical series.
Among the others, epicentre must precede epidemic. Epidemic must precede epiglottis.
Therefore, the final arrangement is ephemeral, epicentre, epidemic, epiglottis, euphemism.
4, 3, 2, 1, 5 is the correct order. Hence, option B is the right answer.
