QUANT SOLUTION

36. (3)Ratio of ages of B : A : C = 9*1 : 5*1 : 5*3 = 9 : 5 : 42. (2) Rate downstream = kmph = 8 kmph.
15
Rate upstream = kmph = 4 kmph.
9x + 5x + 15x + 15 = 102
Speed in still water = kmph = 6 kmph.
x=3
Present age of A = 5*3 = 15 year 43. (1) Total surface area = 2r(r +h) = 704
2*r*16 = 704
37. (1) Speed in upstream = =9 radius, r = 7 and height = 16 -7 = 9
Volume = *72 * 9 = 1386 m2
Let upstream speed = 3x = v u = 9
44. (4) Let initially total no. of men = x
Downstream speed = 5x = v + u = 15 100*x = 110* (x 10)
speed of boat In still water = = 12 kmph Hence total men = 110
45. (5) ratio of their incomes is
38. (4) let the rate of simple interest be r% per annum
A:B: C= = 35 : 40 : 76
= 2200
Income of B = Rs.
100r + 120r = 2200
rate r = 10% 46. (4)
39. (2) 120/v + 480/u = 8 47. (2)
200/v + 400/u =
48. (3)
On solving above eqn
49. (4) 39*62 + 7*32 -1560 = 1082
We get speed of train = 60 kmph
50. (3) 12232 = 6*3*2 = 36
40. (5) 4x/5 = 48 + 51. (4)
x = 100 students. Required difference = (128000 - 107000) = 21000.

and total production of Company Y from 1997 to 2002 Selling price of X =Rs.275
= 139000 + 120000 + 100000 + 128000 + 107000 + Difference =466.4-275=Rs.191.4

Difference = (742000 - 716000) = 26000. Selling price of Z = Rs.466.4

For 1997 (139000 - 119000) = 20000. 65. (1)X = ,, y ;x>y
