Q.1. A vessel contains 33 litres of milk and water in the ratio 7:4.

If the
mixture is replaced with 4 litres of milk ,what is the quantity of milk in the
mixture?
Ans. 33 lit in in the ratio of 7:4
Milk=7*33/11=21 and Water 4*33/11=12
now we taken out 4 lit mixture (water and milk)
In the mixture taken out milk = 4*7/11=2.55 and water= 4*4/7= 1.45 (2.55+1.45 =
4 lit)
Now subtract 2.55 from amount of milk =21-2.55=18.45
After that we added 4 lit of milk
18.45+4= 22.45 litre

Q.4. Selling price is 574, loss suffered 5% then what will the selling price
to gain 5%?
Ans. Let cost price=x;
100x-5x/100=574;
therefore, x=574*100/95;
now, to sell in 5% profit,
the sell price=x+ x*(5/100) = 574*100/95+(574*100/95)*5/100;
therefore sell price=634.42
Q.5. The numbers between (200,300) which are not divisible by 2,3,4,5
Ans. 1) There are 101 integers (300 - 200 + 1 = 101). Since the set begins with an even and
ends with an even, there are 51 evens.
2) Question says integers are not divisible by 2, leaving all of the odds (101 - 51 = 50
integers). [This takes care of numbers divisible of 4 as well since all these are divisible by 2]
3) Question says integers are not divisible by 5, removing all the integers ending in 5
(already took out those ending in 0). Take out 10 integers (2?5, ? = 0 to 9), leaving us with
40 integers.
4) We have to remove the remaining numbers that are multiples of 3. Those are 201, 207,
213, 219, 231, 237, 243, 249, 261, 267, 273, 279, 291, and 297...a total of 14 numbers. 26
numbers left!

Q.6. An urn has 15 balls numbered from 1 to 15. When the ball is picked then it is
again replaced. What is the probability that an odd and an even numbered ball is
picked and replaced?
Ans. no of odd balls=1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15 (i.e means 8 odd balls are here)
no of odd ball=2,4,6,8,10,12,14(i.e means 7 even balls)
now total balls=15
probability is=(8/15)*(7/15)=56/225
Q.7. What is the probability that 2 heads do not occur consecutively when a fair
coin is tossed 10 times?
Ans. Let us take in the first attempt we got head (prob =1/2)
next we should get in 3 rd time, next 5th time ,7 th time , 9 th time total 5 times so
total prob is (1/2)^5
and if we got head in second time -> 2nd ,4 th, 6th,8 th 10 th total 5 times
sum the both === (1/2)^5 +(1 /2)^5 = 2((1/2)^5)=(1/2)^4
so the answer is (1/2)^4

Q.9. ABCD is a horizontal rectangular field with AB = 50 m and BC = 27 m. AT is a
vertical mast, the angle of elevation from B to T is 45o, calculate the distance from
C to T.
Ans. as ATB is Right angle triangle
AT = TAN 45 * AB = 50m
AC=sqrt of (AB^2+BC^2)
= sqrt of(50^2 + 27^2)
=56.82
NOW triangle ACT IS a right angle triangle
so CT = sqrt of (AT^2+AC^2)
= sqrt of(50^2 + 56.82^2)
=75.68

Q10. If x1/p = y1/q = z1/r and y2 = xz, what is the value of p+r?
Ans. let x1/p = y1/q = z1/r = k
therefore, x = kp
y = kq
z = kr
now,
y2 = xz
=> k2q = kp.kr
=> 2q=p+r.

Q13. A man said he spent 1/6 of his life as a child, 1/12 as salesman in a
liquor shop, 1/7 and 5 years as a politician and a good husband
respectively. At that time Jim was born. Jim was elected as Alderman 4
years back, when he was half of his age. What is his age?
Ans. lets say his age is x.
so child=x/6
salesman= x/12
politician=x/7
good husband=5
now jim was born.
Jim was elected as Alderman four years back, when he was half of his age
=x/2-4
so,x/6+x/12+x/7+5=x/2-4
=>x=84
so his age is 84 years
or
X/6 + x/12 + x/7 + 5 + 4 + x/2 = x. Solving x= 84

Q.16. If there are 1024*1280 pixels on a screen and each pixel can have around 16
million colours. Find the memory required for this?
Ans. 1024 * 1280 = 1310720 pixels.
16 million colours comes from the fact that each pixel has 24 bits of information to store the
colour , and 2^24 = 16777216 possible values for the colour.
24 bits = 3 bytes.
since 1 byte=8 bits
Multiplying 1310720 by 3 gives 3932160 bytes. This is approximately 4 MB of video memory.

Q17. The difference b/w the compound interest payable half yearly and the
simple interest on a certain sum lent out at 10% p.a for 1 year is Rs 25.
What is the sum?
Ans. In simple words S.I= PTR/100 =(P*1*10)/100
HERE AMOUNT A= p+ S.I= P+ P/10=11P/10.

= P/10

NOW FOR COMPOUND INTEREST WHEN CALCULATED HALF YEARLY AMOUNT

=P[1+R/200]2T =P[1+10/200] 2*1 =441P/400
here its given in the question that difference between simple interest and compound
interest half yearly ... is 25
=> 441p/400-11p/10= 25
=>p/400=25
=>p= 400*25=10000

so sum = 10000

Q.18: A father is 30 years older than his son however he will be only thrice
as old as the son after 5 years what is fathers present age?
Ans: Let the age of the son = x
Then the age of his father = x+30
Given,father will be only thrice as old as the son after 5 years
x+30+5 = 3(x+5)
x+35 = 3x+15
35-15 = 3x-x
20 = 2x
2x = 20
x = 20/2 = 10
Therefore the age of his father = x+30 = 10+30 = 45 years

Q.19: The price of sugar increases by 20%. By what % should a housewife

reduce the consumption of sugar so that expenditure on sugar can be
same as before?

Q21: Every day a cyclist meets a car at the station. The road is straight
and both are travelling in the same direction. The cyclist travels with a
speed of 12 mph. One day the cyclist comes late by 20 min. and meets the
car 5miles before the Station. What is the speed of the car?
Ans: - Let the point where the cyclist meets the car be X, which is 5 km before the station.
- As the cyclist's speed is 12 km/hr, it will take another 25 mins. for him to reach the station.
For example, if everyday he meets the car at the station at 8'o clock, then he must reach the
pt. X at 7:35.
But, today as he is late by 20 mins., he will be reaching X at 7:55 only.
So, as the car is 5 km before the station at 7:55 and reaches the station at 8:00, it crosses 5
km in 5 mins. So, its speed is 60 kmph.

Q25: 5 men or 8 women do equal amount of work in a day. a job requires 3

men and 5 women to finish the job in 10 days how many woman are
required to finish the job in 14 days
Ans: Lets assume total LCM(5,8) = 40units.
As, 5 men or 8 women do equal amount of work in a day,
1Man does 8units/day and 1Woman does 5units/day.
3M and 5W in 10 days do (3*8 + 5*5)*10 = 490units
To do 490 units in 14 days, number of Women required = 490/(14*5) = 7

Q26. 15 men take 21 days of 8 hrs. Each does a piece of work. How many
days of 6 hrs each would it take for 21 women if 3 women do as much work
as 2 men?
Ans: 15 men - 21 days - 8 hrs.
means m1=15;d1=21;h1=8;
21 women - ? -6hrs;
m2=21;d2=?;h2=6;
But in the question 3 Women work =2 men work..==> 3w=2m
m2=21=7(3 women)=7(2men)=14men
m2=14;
W=mdh==>m1*d1*h1=m2*d2*h2
15*21*8=14*d2*6
if we calculate the answer we will get d2=30 days

Q 29: Lucia is a wonderful grandmother. Her age is between 50 and 70.

Each of her sons has as many sons as they have brothers. Their combined
number gives Lucias age. What is the age?
Ans: The clue to answer this question is the information that the number of children and
number of brothers are equal. Hence, we have to find the nearest square number to 50 and
70 and then work out the answer. 72 are nearer to 50. We can now assume 7+1=8 as
number of children of Lucia and each of them have seven children of their own making a
total 56. Hence the age of Lucia is 8 + 56 = 64 years.

Q33: Successive discounts of 20% and 15% are equal to a single discount
of
Ans: Suppose Cost Price is RS. 100
then 20% discount means Selling Price is RS.80
but again on this price there's a dicount of 15%
therefore the final selling price is 80-(80*15)/100=RS.68
therefore total dicount = ((CP-SP)*100)/CP=32%

Q34: If a=2/3b , b=2/3c, and c=2/3d what part of d is b?

Ans: a = 2b/3, b= 2c/3 , and c = 2d/3
Then d = 3c/2
But c = 3b/2
Hence d = (3/2)*(3/2)b
Then d = (9/4)b
==> b = (4/9)d
In other words, 4/9 of d is b

Q35: A quantity of tea is sold at Rs. 5.75 per kilogram. The total gain by selling
the tea at this rate is Rs. 60. Find the quantity of tea being sold if a profit of 15%
is made on the deal.
Ans: say total cost price of tea is x.
then total profit at a rate of 15% is=(15x/100)
according to question,
15x/100=60
so x=400
c.p of the tea is 400.so total selling price will be=(400+60)=460
so the quantity of the tea will be=(460/5.75)=80kg.

Q36: Three pipes A,B and C are attached to a tank. A and B can fill it in 20
and 30 minutes respectively while C can empty it in 15 minutes. If A,B and
C are kept open successively for 1 minute each, how soon will the tank be
filled?
Ans: In one minute pipe A and B will fill = 1/20 +1/30
In one minute pipe A, B and C will fill = 1/20 +1/30 - 1/15 = 1/60
Let the number intervals of three minutes be x
x/60 +1/20 +1/30 = 1

Rs. 3000. After 6 months, Sunil withdrew from business. At end of the year, profit
was Rs. 4200. How much would Sunil get out of this profit.
Ans: the ratio in which profit is shared is
One persons (Investment X Time) : Another persons (Investment X Time)
Therefore the ratio in which Sanjay & Sunil would share their profit is2000 (12) : 3000 (6) = 4:3
Hence Sunil receives (3/7)*4200 = Rs. 1800
Q40: A pig pursues a cat and takes 10 leaps for every 12 leaps of the cat, but 8
leaps of the pig are equal to 18 leaps of the cat. Compare the speed of pig & cat.
Ans: 8 leaps of the pig = 18 leaps of the cat = x say
= x/18
In same time pig takes 10 leaps and cat 12 leaps
Distance covered by pig in the same time = 10 x/8
Distance covered by cat in same time= 12 x/18
Ratio of speed= 10/8 : 12/18 =15/18

1 leap of pig = x/8 ; 1 leap of cat
