Samartha is five times as old as his daughter Trisha and Samartha’s wife Phalguni’s age is 26 years more than that of Trisha. The difference between thrice the age of Samarth ten years ago and twice the age of Phalguni ten years ago was 42 years. What will be the respective ratio of Phalguni’s age 12 years hence and Samartha’s age 12 years hence?
Solution
Let Trisha's present age = $$x$$ years
=> Samartha's present age = $$5x$$ years
Phalguni's present age = $$(x + 26)$$ years
Acc. to ques, => $$3 (5x - 10) - 2 (x + 26 - 10) = 42$$
=> $$15x - 30 - 2x - 32 = 42$$
=> $$13x = 42 + 62 = 104$$
=> $$x = \frac{104}{13} = 8$$
Thus, after 12 years :
Phalguni's age = $$x + 26 + 12 = 8 + 38 = 46$$ years
Samartha's age = $$5x + 12 = 5(8) + 12 = 52$$ years
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio = $$46 : 52 = 23 : 26$$
Refer to the following piechart and the table and answer the given questions.
Distribution of total number of commuters (males and females) who travel on 6 different routes of Metro :Total number of commuters = 4000
20% male commuters who travel on routes A and F together are less than 25 years of age and 20% female commuters who travel on the same routes together are less than 25 years of age. What is the respective ratio between the two?
Solution
Total commuters who travel on route A = $$\frac{20}{100} \times 4000 = 800$$
Males = $$\frac{3}{8} \times 800 = 300$$
Females = $$800 - 300 = 500$$
Total commuters who travel on route F = $$\frac{12}{100} \times 4000 = 480$$
Males = $$\frac{2}{3} \times 480 = 320$$
Females = $$480 - 320 = 160$$
Male commuters who travel on routes A and F together and are less than 25 years of age
= $$\frac{20}{100} (300 + 320) = 124$$
Female commuters who travel on routes A and F together and are less than 25 years of age
= $$\frac{20}{100} (500 + 160) = 132$$
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio = $$124:132 = 31:33$$
What is the difference between the total number of male commuters who travel on routes C and E together and the total number of female commuters who travel on the same routes together ?
Solution
Total commuters on route C = $$\frac{24}{100} \times 4000 = 960$$
Male commuters on route C = $$\frac{9}{16} \times 960 = 540$$
=> Female commuters on route C = $$960 - 540 = 420$$
On route E, total commuters = $$\frac{10}{100} \times 4000 = 400$$
Male commuters on route E = $$\frac{2}{5} \times 400 = 160$$
=> Female commuters on route E = $$400 - 160 = 240$$
Thus, total number of male commuters who travel on routes C and E together = $$540 + 160 = 700$$
Total number of female commuters who travel on routes C and E together = $$420 + 240 = 660$$
$$\therefore$$ Required difference = $$700 - 660 = 40$$
What is the central angle corresponding to the number of commuters (both males and females) who travel on route C?
Solution
Percentage of commuters (both males and females) who travel on route C = 24%
$$\because 100 \% \equiv 360^{\circ}$$
=> $$24 \% \equiv \frac{360}{100} \times 24$$
= $$86.4^{\circ}$$
The number of commuters (both male and female) who travel on routes on D and E together is what percent more than the the number of commuters (Both male and female) who travel on route B ?
Solution
Percentage of commuters on Routes D & E = (16 + 10)% = 26%
Percentage of commuters on Route B = 18%
=> Required % = $$\frac{26 - 18}{18} \times 100$$
= $$\frac{400}{9} = 44 \frac{4}{9} \%$$
The number of female commuters travelling on route D is what percent of the male commuters travelling on route F ?
Solution
Total commuters on Route D = $$\frac{16}{100} \times 4000 = 640$$
Number of female commuters travelling on route D = $$\frac{3}{8} \times 640 = 240$$
Total commuters on Route F = $$\frac{12}{100} \times 4000 = 480$$
Number of the male commuters travelling on route F = $$\frac{2}{3} \times 480 = 320$$
=> Required % = $$\frac{240}{320} \times 100$$
= $$\frac{3}{4} \times 100 = 75 \%$$
For the following questions answer them individually
A shopkeeper marked the price of an article 12.5% more than its cost price. Mr. Sharma purchased the same article at a discount of 20% on the marked price of the article but also paid VAT of 12% on the discounted price. Mr. Sharma then gave the article to his cousin for Rs. 5200 and thereby earned a profit of 30% on the original cost price of the product. At what price did Mr. Sharma purchase the article from the shopkeeper ?
Solution
For the shopkeeper, C.P. of article = $$\frac{100}{130} \times 5200 = Rs. 4000$$
=> Marked price of article
= $$\frac{112.5}{100} \times 4000 = Rs. 4500$$
For Mr. Sharma, discounted price of article
= $$\frac{80}{100} \times 4500 = Rs. 3600$$
$$\therefore$$ Actual C.P. of article
= $$3600 + (\frac{12}{100} \times 3600)$$
= $$3600 + 432 = Rs. 4032$$
In an election only two candidates contested. 30% of the registered votes did not cast their votes and 180 votes were declared invalid. The winner got 684 votes more than his opponent. The number of valid votes received by the winner is 42% of the number of registered voters. How many registered voters cast their votes?
Solution
Let total number of registered voters = $$100x$$
Number of voters who cast their votes = $$\frac{70}{100} \times 100x = 70x$$
Number of valid votes = $$70x - 180$$
Valid votes received by the winner = $$\frac{42}{100} \times 100x = 42x$$
=> Valid votes received by the loser = $$(70x - 180) - 42x$$
Acc. to ques, => $$42x - [(70x - 180) - 42x] = 684$$
=> $$84x - 70x = 684 - 180 = 504$$
=> $$x = \frac{504}{14} = 36$$
$$\therefore$$ Number of registered voters who cast their votes = $$70 \times 36 = 2520$$
A starts a small business by investing a certain sum of money. B joins A after three months from the start of the business by investing 1.5 time A’s investment. Three months after B joined the business, C joins A and B by investing half of A’s investment. It was agreed that the working partner would receive 10% of the profit and the share according to the investment proportion from the rest of the profit. If total profit at the end of the year was Rs. 23750, how much will A, being the only working partner receive?
Solution
Let A's investment = $$Rs. x$$
=> B's investment = $$Rs. 1.5x$$
=> C's investment = $$Rs. 0.5x$$
Ratio of shares of A,B and C
= $$(x \times 12) : (1.5x \times 9) : (0.5x \times 6)$$
= $$24 : 27 : 6 = 8 : 9 : 2$$
Total profit = Rs. 23,750
Since, A is the working partner, he will receive 10 %
=> $$\frac{10}{100} \times 23750 = Rs. 2,375$$
Profit left = 23750 - 2375 = 21375
Thus, A's share = $$\frac{8}{8 + 9 + 2} \times 21375$$
= $$8 \times 1125 = 9000$$
$$\therefore$$ Total amount received by A = $$2,375 + 9,000 = Rs. 11,375$$

Solution
Expression : $$15.99\times9.89-\sqrt{624.89}-17.001\times1.99=?^{2}$$
=> $$(x)^2 = (16 \times 10) - (\sqrt{625}) - (17\times 2)$$
=> $$(x)^2 = 160 - 25 - 34 = 101$$
=> $$x \approx \sqrt{100} = 10$$
$$?\%of(\frac{5224}{5.001}\times\frac{3}{11})=375.05$$
Solution
Expression : $$?\%of(\frac{5224}{5.001}\times\frac{3}{11})=375.05$$
=> $$\frac{x}{100} \times \frac{5225}{5} \times \frac{3}{11} = 375$$
=> $$\frac{x}{100} \times 95 \times 3 = 375$$
=> $$x = \frac{375 \times 100}{285} \approx 132$$

For the following questions answer them individually
Train A travelling at 126 km/ hour speed, completely crosses Train B in 9 seconds. Train B is half the length of Train A and is travelling at a speed of 90 km/ hour in the opposite direction (towards Train A). How much will Train A take to cross a platform of length 690 metres ?
Solution
Let length of train B = $$x$$ m
=> Length of train A = $$2x$$ m
Speed of train A = 126 km/h = $$126 \times \frac{5}{18} = 35$$ m/s
Speed of train B = 90 km/h = $$90 \times \frac{5}{18} = 25$$ m/s
Since, the trains are moving in opposite direction, relative speed = 35 + 25 = 60 m/s
Time taken = 9 sec
=> $$\frac{2x + x}{60} = 9$$
=> $$3x = 9 \times 60 = 540$$
=> $$x = \frac{540}{3} = 180$$ m
Thus, length of train A = 360 m
$$\therefore$$ Time taken by train A take to cross a platform of length 690 metres
= $$\frac{360 + 690}{35} = \frac{1050}{35}$$
= $$30$$ seconds
Study the following information carefully to answer the questions.
There are 5 colleges in university `XYZ’ namely A, B, C, D and E. The number of students in college A is 25% of the total number of students in University ‘XYZ’. The number of students in college C is 60% of the number of students in college A. The number of students in college D is three fourth of the number of students in college C. The number of students in college E is 1/2 the number of students in college C. The number of students in college E is 450.
The total number of students in college B and C together is approximately what percent more than the total number of students in college A and D together ?
Solution
Let the total number of students in all colleges together = $$100x$$
=> Number of students in A = $$\frac{25}{100} \times 100x = 25x$$
Number of students in C = $$\frac{60}{100} \times 25x = 15x$$
Number of students in college D = $$\frac{3}{4} \times 15x = \frac{45x}{4}$$
Number of students in E = $$\frac{1}{2} \times 15x = 7.5x = 450$$
=> $$x = \frac{450}{7.5} = 60$$
Total students in colleges B & C = 2475 + 900 = 3375
Total students in colleges A & D = 1500 + 675 = 2175
=> Required % = $$\frac{3375 - 2175}{2175} \times 100$$
= $$55.17 \approx 55 \%$$
In college D, the respective ratio between the total number of male students and the total number of female students is 13 : 12. If the total number of female students in college E is three fourth of the total number of female students in college D. What is the respective ratio between total number of male students and total number of female students in college E?
Solution
Let the total number of students in all colleges together = $$100x$$
=> Number of students in A = $$\frac{25}{100} \times 100x = 25x$$
Number of students in C = $$\frac{60}{100} \times 25x = 15x$$
Number of students in college D = $$\frac{3}{4} \times 15x = \frac{45x}{4}$$
Number of students in E = $$\frac{1}{2} \times 15x = 7.5x = 450$$
=> $$x = \frac{450}{7.5} = 60$$
Ratio of male and female students in college D = 13 : 12
=> Female students in college D = $$\frac{12}{25} \times 675 = 324$$
=> Male students in college D = $$675 - 324 = 351$$
In college E, number of females = $$\frac{3}{4} \times 324 = 243$$
=> Male students in college E = $$450 - 243 = 207$$
$$\therefore$$ Required ratio = $$\frac{207}{243} = 23 : 27$$
In University `PQR, the total number of students is 28% of the total number of students in University `XYZ. If in University ‘PQR’ 60% of the total students study either in science stream or in commerce stream and the respective ratio between the number of students studying in science stream and the number of students studying in commerce stream is 7 : 5, what is the number of students studying in science stream?
Solution
Let the total number of students in all colleges together = $$100x$$
=> Number of students in A = $$\frac{25}{100} \times 100x = 25x$$
Number of students in C = $$\frac{60}{100} \times 25x = 15x$$
Number of students in college D = $$\frac{3}{4} \times 15x = \frac{45x}{4}$$
Number of students in E = $$\frac{1}{2} \times 15x = 7.5x = 450$$
=> $$x = \frac{450}{7.5} = 60$$
Number of students in university PQR = $$\frac{28}{100} \times 6000 = 1680$$
Students studying in science or commerce stream in university PQR = $$\frac{60}{100} \times 1680 = 1008$$
Ratio between students of science and commerce stream = 7 : 5
=> Number of students studying in Science stream = $$\frac{7}{12} \times 1008 = 588$$
What is the average number of students in college B, C and E?
Solution
Let the total number of students in all colleges together = $$100x$$
=> Number of students in A = $$\frac{25}{100} \times 100x = 25x$$
Number of students in C = $$\frac{60}{100} \times 25x = 15x$$
Number of students in college D = $$\frac{3}{4} \times 15x = \frac{45x}{4}$$
Number of students in E = $$\frac{1}{2} \times 15x = 7.5x = 450$$
=> $$x = \frac{450}{7.5} = 60$$
Total number of students in B,C and E = 2475 + 900 + 450 = 3825
=> Required average = $$\frac{3825}{3} = 1275$$
In college A, the total number of teachers is 1/20 th of the total number of students. If the total number of teachers in college C is 15 less than the total number of teachers in college A, what is the total number of teachers in college C ?
Solution
Let the total number of students in all colleges together = $$100x$$
=> Number of students in A = $$\frac{25}{100} \times 100x = 25x$$
Number of students in C = $$\frac{60}{100} \times 25x = 15x$$
Number of students in college D = $$\frac{3}{4} \times 15x = \frac{45x}{4}$$
Number of students in E = $$\frac{1}{2} \times 15x = 7.5x = 450$$
=> $$x = \frac{450}{7.5} = 60$$
Number of teachers in college A = $$\frac{1}{20} \times 1500 = 75$$
=> Number of teacher in college C = $$75 - 15 = 60$$

What is the difference between the number of female visitors in the age group above 20 years and the number of male visitors in the age group above 20 years?
Solution
In January 2013,
Total number of females who visited the park = $$\frac{7}{12} \times 120,000 = 70,000$$
=> Number of males = $$120,000 - 70,000 = 50,000$$
For visitors who were less than or equal to 20 years :
Number of visitors (both male and female) = $$\frac{65}{100} \times 120,000 = 78,000$$
Number of females = $$\frac{60}{100} \times 78,000 = 46,800$$
Number of males = $$78,000 - 46,800 = 31,200$$
For visitors above age group of 20 years :
Number of females = $$70,000 - 46,800 = 23,200$$
Number of males = $$50,000 - 31,200 = 18,800
$$\therefore$$ Required difference = $$23,200 - 18,800 = 4,400$$
The number of visitors in November 2012 form what percent of total number of visitors in all the given months together? (round it off to two digits after decimal)
Solution
Number of visitors in November 2012 (in '000) = 65
Number of visitors in all the given months together (in '000)
= 55 + 75 + 65 + 126 + 120 = 441
=> Required % = $$\frac{65}{441} \times 100$$
= $$17.739 \approx 14.74 \%$$
What is the respective ratio of female visitors to the park in the month of October 2012 and December 2012?
Solution
Female visitors (in '000) to the park in the month of October 2012 = $$\frac{2}{5} \times 75 = 30$$
Female visitors (in '000) to the park in the month of December 2012 = $$\frac{4}{7} \times 126 = 72$$
=> Required ratio = $$\frac{30}{72} = \frac{5}{12}$$
= 5 : 12
What is the difference between the total number of the male visitors in September 2012 and October 2012 together and the total number of male visitors in November 2012 and December 2012 together?
Solution
Total number of the male visitors in September 2012 = $$\frac{4}{11} \times 55,000 = 20,000$$
Total number of the male visitors in October 2012 = $$\frac{3}{5} \times 75,000 = 45,000$$
=> Sum = $$20,000 + 45,000 = 65,000$$
Total number of male visitors in November 2012 = $$\frac{5}{8} \times 65,000 = 40,625$$
Total number of male visitors in December 2012 = $$\frac{3}{7} \times 1,26,000 = 54,000$$
=> Sum = $$40,625 + 54,000 = 94,625$$
$$\therefore$$ Difference = $$94,625 - 65,000 = 29,625$$
What is the average number of visitors who had visited the park of age group less than or equal to 20 years in the months of 2012 and January 2013 together?
Solution
Number of visitors who had visited the park of age group less than or equal to 20 years in the months of :
Sep : $$\frac{40}{100} \times 55,000$$ = 22,000
Oct : $$\frac{52}{100} \times 75,000$$ = 39,000
Nov : $$\frac{55}{100} \times 65,000$$ = 35,750
Dec : $$\frac{60}{100} \times 126,000$$ = 75,600
Jan : $$\frac{65}{100} \times 120,000$$ = 78,000
=> Total visitors = 22000 + 39000 + 35750 + 75600 + 78000 = 2,50,350
$$\therefore$$ Required average = $$\frac{250350}{5} = 50070$$
Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the
questions.
With India expected to turn the corner on the back of structural reforms. Its economy is projected to clock 7 per cent growth in 2015, even as China would see as economic slowdown, says a study.
Presenting predictions by its economists for the New Year, global consultancy PWC said India is expected to resume growing at more than 6 percent after seeing expansion below this level since 2012.
We think 2012 could be the year that India turns the corner, posting growth of around 7 percent. In the short term, low oil prices are likely to increase GDP growth, ease the pressures of India’s high current account deficit and help bring down inflation. Regarding the country’s mediumterm economic prospects, PWC said, `With the February 2015 budget India could take a step towards implementing new structural reforms which will boost the economy.”
India’s economic growth was below 5 percent in the last two financial years. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) forecast the economy to grow at 5.5 percent in 201415 (ending this March) and at 6.3 percent in next financial year 201516. PWC said that even though China is expected to make the biggest contribution to global growth this year, its projected growth rate of 7.2 percent “would be its lowest since 1990 and its high debt levels pose some downside risks to that main scenario.” While the US is expected to see the fastest growth in a decade, euro zone is anticipated to see quantitative easing programme involving the purchase of government bonds. As per the report businesses. should look out three factors yearoil prices, hard lending in China and escalation of geopohucal risks. Our predictions and projections assume that oil prices will average between $6070 over the course of 2015 and finish this year at around USD 80. However, due to the highly unpredictable nature of oil prices, businesses should plan for different scenarios, the PWC report said.
Besides an escalation of the geopolitical tensions in Russia and Ukraine as well as in the Middle. East could have negative influence on Indian business confidence, with consequent implications for global growth.
