3 In a school with 600 students , the average age of the boys is 12 years and that of Girls

is 11 years . if the average age of the school is 11 years and 9 months then the number

of girls in the school is

A 450 b 250 c 150 d 350

Let the number of Girls be X , Then number of boys = (600-x)

(11 4/3 * 600 ) = 11 x 12 (600-x)

X=7200-7050 =150 Answer c 150

4 Ram bought a cycle and sold it for Rs 4550 which is 30 % more than this original price . What is the original price of the cycle

A 3500/- b 3800/- c 3600/- d 3400/-

Let cost price (C.P.) = 100. Profit = 30 %. Selling price (S.P.) = (100 + 30) = 130.

If selling price (S.P.) is 130, then cost price (C.P.) is 100.

If selling price (S.P.) is 1, then cost price (C.P.) is $ (¹⁰⁰/₁₃₀).

If selling price (S.P.) is 4550, then cost price (C.P.) is (¹⁰⁰/₁₃₀ × 4550)= 3500 Answer A 3500/-

A 660 b 600 c 575 d None of these

Let cost price be P, Sold price =85 % of P, 85/100*P+150=110/100*P

25/100*P =150 25P=15000 P=15000/25= 600 Anser 600

in the forest are 858 and total number of animal legs are 1746. . What is the number of parrots in the forest

A 843 b 847 c 800 d None of these

Let the no of parrots is assumed as X

Total number of animals = 858

Total tigers = 858-x Total legs = 2x=4(858-x)=1746

=2x+3432-4x=1746 2x=3432-1746=1686 X=1686/2=843 Answer a 843

7 LCM of 36 , 45,52, 108 and 236 is a

A 414180 b 480414 c 441180 d none of these

36 = 2*2*3*3* 45 = 3*3*5 52 = 2*2*13 108 = 2*2*3*3*3* 236 = 2*2*59

Therefore, L.C.M of 36, 45, 52, 108, 236 = 2*2*3*3*3*5*13*59 = 414180 Answer a 414180

8 Salaries of Akash , Babloo and chintu are in the ratio of 2:3:5 . If their salaries were

increased by 15 % , 10 % and 20 % respectively What will be the new ratio of their salaries ?

A 3:3:10 B 23:33:60 C 20:22:40 D None of these

Let Akash = 2 Babloo = 3 and Chintu = 5

Then 100/115=2 = 23/10

100/110=3 = 33/10

120/100=5= 6

Then new ratio is 23/10 :33/10: 6 = 23:33:60 Answer b 23:33:60

9 A man earns Rs 20 on the first day and spends Rs 15 on the next day .

He again earns rs 20 on the third day and spends rs 15 on the fourth day . if he continues to save like how soon will have Rs 60 in hand

A on 30 the day b On 40^th Day c On 27^th Day D On 17^th day

Explanation: Money earned in 2 days = Rs.(20 - 15)     = Rs. 15.
Money earned in 16 days = Rs.(5/2 x 16)     ‹=›Rs. 40.
On 17th day, money in hand = Rs.(40 + 20 )     = Rs. 60.      Answer d   17^th Day

10 Ajay can do a piece of work in 25 days and Sanjay can finish it in 20 days . They work together for 5 days and Ajay goes away . how many days will Sanjay finish the remaining work

A 11 days b 12 days c 14 days d None of these
1 days work of Ajay =1/25
Sanjay = 1/20
So (Ajay+Sanjay)= 1/25+1/20=9/100
5 days work of Ajaya and Sajay=45/100
Remaining work = 1-45/100=55/100
Sajay can do 55/100 work in 55/100/1/20 = 11 Days

Answer a 11 Days

12 A hemispherical bowl of internal radius 9 cm contains a liquid , The liquid is to be filled into cylindrical shaped small bottles of diameter 3 cm and height 4 cm . How many bottles will be needed to empty the bowl

A 45 b 54 c 35 d 48

Radius of hemisphere= 9 cm

volume of hemisphere= 2/3 π r3

= 2/3 x9x9x9 π = 486 π

radius of cylindrical shaped bottles= 3/2 cm

height= 4 cm, volume of bottles= π r2h

= 3/2x 3/2 x 4 π =9 π now,

Reaquired no. of bottles= volume of hemisphere/ volume of bottles

. =486 π/9π . =54

Hence, no. of bottles required to empty the bowl = 54 Answer b 54

13 If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 200 % and the denominator

is increased by 300 % the resultant fraction is 6/11 . What was the original fraction .

A 5/11 b 7/11 . c 8/13 d 8/11

If numerator increase 200 % then Numerator will be x+2x =3x

and denominator increased by 300% means denominator will be y = 3y =4y

new fraction will be 3x/4y =6/66 (g

3x/4y = 6/11
dividing numerator by 3 and denominator by 4 both side we will get
x/y =6/3/11/4
x/y=6x4/11x3
x/y =24/33
x/y =8/11 Answer d 8/11

14 If the ratio of areas of two squares is 9:1 the ratio of perimeter is

A 3:1 b 1:2 c 3:2 d None of these

18 A car is moving with a speed of 36 km/h . How much time in seconds it will take to

cross a 500 m long bridge .
A 40 b 45 c 50 d 55

Speed 36 KM/H = 36*5/18 M/S =10 M/S

So time taken to cross 500m bridge = 500/10 = 50 Second Answer 50

19 . Two cars start from the same point at 8 am . In the same direction . The speed of the first car is 60 km/h and the speed of second car is 55 km/h . The distance between them at 2 p. m on the same day is

A 20 km b 25 km c 28 km d 30 km

Time duration 14-8 = 6 Hrs 2 PM ( 14 hrs)
distance by first car 6*60 360 KM
Distance by IInd car = 6*55 =330 KM

So distance between two car 30 KM Answer 30 KM

20 The distance between two cities A and B is 520 km . One car starts from city A

towards city B with the speed of 60 km/h. At the same time another car starts from city B

towards city A with a speed of 70 km/h . After how many hours they will cross each other

A 3 hours b 4 Hours d 5 hours d 6 hours

Let distance travelled by A= X
Distance travelled by B= (520-X)
X/60=520-x/70
70X=(520-X)60
70X=520*60-60X
130X=520*60 X=240 ie Time =240/60= 4 Hrs Answer 4 Hrs

A 500 b 300 c 450 d 750

If 60% are boys, then 40% must make up the girls.

Let x = total number of students
then .40x = 300
x = 300/.40 = 7.5*100=750 750-300=450 Total no of boys 450 Answer c 450
