1. 3 years ago, the average of a family of 5 members was 17

years. A baby having been born, the average age of the family
is the same today. The present age of the baby is:
A.5 years
B.2 years
C.1 year
D.4 years
E.None of these
Solution
Answer – B (2 years)
Explanation – Total age of 5 members, 3 years ago = (17 x 5) years
= 85 years
Total age of 5 members now = (85 + 3 x 5) years = 100 years
Total age of 6 members now = (17 x 6) years = 102 years
Age of the baby = (102 – 100) years = 2 years

10. There were 35 students in a hostel. If the number of

students increase by 7, the expenses of the mess increase by Rs
42 per day while the average expenditure per head diminishes
by Rs 1. Find the original expenditure of the mess?
A.450
B.420
C.430
D.410
E.None of these
Solution
Answer – B (420)
Explanation – Suppose the average expenditure was Rs a.
Then total expenditure = 35a
When 7 more students join the mess, total expenditure = 35a + 42
Now, the average expenditure= (35a+42) / (35 + 7)
Now, we have (35a + 42)/ 42 =(a – 1)
or, 35a + 42 = 42a – 42
7a = 84
a = 12

Explanation –
Let the present ages of Simmi and Anu be 5x years and 4x years
respectively
Then, [5X + 3] / [4X + 3] =11/9
x=6
Anu’s present age = 4X = 24 years
6. If 6 years are subtracted from the present age of Anuj and the
remainder is divided by 18, then the present age of his
grandson Gopal is obtained.If Gopal is 2 years younger to
Mohan whose age is 5 years, then what is the age of Anuj?
A.44
B.60
C.80
D.92
Answer
www.bankingpdf.com
Answer : B (60)
Explanation –
Let Anuj’s age be X
Gopal is 2 years younger than Mohan, so Gopal is 3 years (i.e 5 – 2 =
3)
If Arun had born 6 years before, his age would had been X – 6. As per
the question, X – 6 should be 18 times as that of Gokul’s age.
i.e. (X – 6) /18= 3
X-6 =3 x 18
x = 60
7. Ten years ago, Khush was thrice as old as Sam was but 10
years hence, he will be only twice as old. Find Khush’s present
age?
A.30
B.35
C.40
D.36
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – A (30)
Explanation –
Let Khush’s present age be x years and Sam’s present age be y years
Then, according to the first condition,
x – 10 = 3(y – 10)
or, x – 3y = -20 ……..(1)
Now. Khush’s age after 10 years = (x + 10) years
Sam’s age after 10 years = (y + 10)
(x+10) = 2(y+10)
or, x – 2y = 10 ……..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
www.bankingpdf.com
x = 70 and y = 30
Khush’s age = 70 years and Sam’s age = 30 years
8. Father is aged three times more than his son Mohit. After 8
years, he would be two and a half times of Mohit’s age. After
further 8 years, how many times would he be of Mohit’s age?
A.4
B.2
C.2.5
D.3
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (2)
Explanation –
Let Monit’s present age be X years. Then, father’s present age = (X +
3X) years = 4X years.
(4X + 8) =5/2 x (X + 8)
8X + 16 = 5X + 40
3X = 24 so, X=8
Hence, required ratio = (4X + 16) / (X + 16)=48 / 24 = 2
9. A father said to his son, “I was as old as you are at present at

the time of your birth.” If the father’s age is 38 years now, the
son’s age five years back was:
A.14
B.19
C.38
D.40
E.None of these
Answer
www.bankingpdf.com
Answer – A (14)
Explanation – Let son’s present age be X years. Then, (38 – X) = X
2X = 38
X = 19
Son’s age 5 years back = (19 – 5) years = 14 years
10. One year ago the ratio between Sam and Ash’s age was 4:3.
One year hence the ratio of their ages will be 5:4. What is the
sum of their present ages in years?
A.14
B.16
C.18
D.12
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (16)
Explanation – Let one year ago
Sam’s age be 4X years
And, Ash’s age be 3X years
Present age of Sam = (4X + 1) years
Present age of Ash= (3X + 1) years
One year hence
Sam’s age = (4X + 2) years
Ash’s age = (3X + 2) years
According to question,
[4X + 2] divide by [3X + 2] = 5 / 4
16X + 8 = 15X + 10
or, X = 2
Sum of their present ages = 4X + 1 + 3X + 1
= 7X + 2
= 7 x 2 + 2 = 16 years.

Simple Interest
 A portion of $6600 is invested at a 5% annual return, while the remainder is invested at
a 3% annual return. If the annual income from the portion earning a 5% return is twice
that of the other portion, what is the total income from the two investments after one year?
A.200
B.270
C.250
D.280
E.none of these
Answer
Answer- B (270)
Explanation – 5x + 3y = z (total)
x + y = 6600
5x= 2(3y) [ condition given] 5x – 6y = 0
x + y = 6600
5x -6y = 0
Subtract both equations and you get x = 3600 so y = 3000
3600*.05 = 180
3000*.03 = 90
z (total) = 270
 If the simple interest on a certain sum of money is 4/25th of the sum and the rate percent
equals the number of years, then the rate of interest per annum is:
A.2%
B.4%
C.8%
D.10%
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (4%)
Explanation – let principal =x then SI= 4/25 x
let rate be ” r” then time =r years
SI= PXRXT /100
put all here all will cut and we left with
r ^2 =400/25 = 4%
 An automobile financier claims to be lending money at the simple interest, but he
includes the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an
interest of 10%, the effective rate of interest becomes:
A.10%
B.10.25%%
C.10.10%
www.bankingpdf.com
D.10.80%
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (10.25%)
Explanation –
Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then,
S.I. for first 6 months = Rs. [100 x 10 x 1] / [100×2]= Rs. 5.
S.I. for last 6 months = Rs.[105 x 10 x 1] / [100 x 2]= Rs. 5.25
So, amount at the end of 1 year = Rs. (100 + 5 + 5.25) = Rs. 110.25.
Effective rate = (110.25 – 100) = 10.25%.
 The difference between the simple interest received from two different sources on Rs.
1500 for 3 years is Rs. 13.50. The difference between their rate of interest is:
A.0.20%
B.0.30%
C.0.50%
D.0.80%
E.None of these
Answer
Answer-B (0.30%)
SI=PXRXT/100 so,SI( 1) – SI (2)
[1500 x R1 x 3] /100 – [1500 x R2 x 3] /100 =13.5
4500 (R1 – R2) = 1350
R1 – R2 =1350/4500=0.30%
 Nishu invested an amount of Rs. 13,900 divided in two different schemes A and B at the
simple interest rate of 14% p.a. and 11% p.a. respectively. If the total amount of simple
interest earned in 2 years be Rs. 3508, what was the amount invested in Scheme B?
A.6400
B.6500
C.7200
D.7500
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – A (6400)
Explanation –
Let the sum invested in Scheme A be Rs. x and that in Scheme B be Rs. (13900 – x).
Then, ( x X 14 X 2 ) /100 + [(13900 – x) X 11 X 2] /100= 3508
28x – 22x = 350800 – (13900 X 22)
6x = 45000
x = 7500.
So, sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. (13900 – 7500) = Rs. 6400.

 A sum of Rs. 800 amounts to Rs. 920 in 3 years at simple interest. If the interest rate is
increased by 3%, it would amount to how much?
A.780
B.992
C.848
D.700
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (992)
Explanation –
S.I = Rs. (920 – 800) = Rs. 120; P = Rs. 800, T = 3 yrs
use SI=Px R x T/100 so, R = Si x 100 /Px t = ( 100 X 120 ) / 800 X 3 = 5%
New rate = (5 + 3) % = 8%
New S.I. = Rs. (800 X 8 X 3)/100 == Rs. 192.
New amount = Rs. (800 + 192) = Rs. 992
 David invested certain amount in three different schemes A, B and C with the rate of
interest 10% p.a., 12% p.a. and 15% p.a. respectively. If the total interest accrued in one
year was Rs. 3200 and the amount invested in Scheme C was 150% of the amount invested
in Scheme A and 240% of the amount invested in Scheme B, what was the amount invested
in Scheme B?
A.Rs 5000
B.Rs 6500
C.Rs 8000
www.bankingpdf.com
D.Rs 10000
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – A (Rs 5000)
Explanation:-Let x, y and z be the amounts invested in schemes A, B and C respectively. Then,
add individual interest to get total using Si= pxrxt/100
[x x 10 x 1]/100 + [y x 12 x 1]/100 + [z x 15 x 1]/100 = 3200
10x + 12y + 15z = 320000…. (i)Now, z = 240% of y =(12/5)y……… (ii)And, z = 150% of x
=(3/2)x so,x=(2/3 )z = (2/3) x value of z from ii
x= (2/3) x (12/5) y = (8/5)y………..(iii)
From (i), (ii) and (iii), we have :
16y + 12y + 36y = 320000
64y = 320000
y = 5000
Sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. 5000
 A certain sum is invested for T years. It amounts to Rs. 400 at 10% per annum. But
when invested at 4% per annum, it amounts to Rs. 200. Find the time (T)?
A.39 years
B.41 years
C.45 years
D.50 years
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – D (50 years)
Explanation –
We have, A1 = Rs. 400, A2 = Rs. 200, R1 = 10%, R2 = 4%
Time (T) = [A1 – A2] x 100 divide by A2R1 – A1R2
= [400 – 200]x 100 divide by [200 x 10 – 400 x 4]= 20000/400 = 50 Years

Time and Distance
1. Nishu is standing on a railway bridge which is 180 m long. He

finds that a train crosses the bridge in 20 seconds but himself
in 8 seconds. Find the speed of the train?
A.35 kmph
B.54 kmph
C.62 kmph
D.70 kmph
E.None of these
Solution
Answer – B (54 kmph)

Explanation – Let the length of the train be x metres.
Then, the train covers x metres in 8 seconds (train is actually covering
itself because length of man is very less compartable to train)and (x +
180) metres in 20 seconds.
www.bankingpdf.com
equate speed in both case,s=d/t
∴ x/8 =( x + 180) / 20 ⇔ 20x = 8(x + 180) ⇔ x = 120.
∴ Length of the train = 120 m.
Speed of the train = [120/8]m/sec (convert to km/hr i.e x 18/5)
=[120/8] x 18/5kmph = 54 kmph.
2. Two trains are running at 40 km/hr and 20 km/hr respectively

in the same direction. Fast train completely passes a man
sitting in the slower train in 5 seconds. What is the length of
the fast train?
A.27 7/9 m
B.28 m
C.29 m
D.30 2/7 m
E.None of these
Solution
Answer – A (27 7/9 m)

Explanation – When SAME direction- MINUS
Relative speed = (40-20) km/hr = [20 x 5/18] m/sec = [50/9] m/sec.
Length of faster train = sxt=[50/9 x 5] m = 250/9 m = 27 7/9 m.
3. Two train travel in opposite directions at 36 kmph and 45 kmph

and a man sitting in slower train passes the faster train in 8
seconds. Then length of the faster train is:
A.120 m
B.140 m
C.160 m
D.180 m
E.None of these
Solution
www.bankingpdf.com
Answer – D (180 m)
Explanation – When OPP. direction-PLUS
Relative speed = (36 + 45) km/hr
= [81 x 5/18] m/sec = [45/2] m/sec.
Length of train = [45/2 x 8] m = 180 m.
4. Two trains of equal lengths take 10 seconds and 15 seconds

respectively to cross a telegraph post. If the length of each
train be 120 metres, in what time (in seconds) will they cross
each other travelling in opposite direction?
A.12 sec
B.18 sec
C.14 sec
D.25 sec
E.None of these
Solution
Answer – A (12 sec)

Explanation – Speed of the first train = [120 / 10] m/sec = 12 m/sec.
Speed of the second train = [120 / 15] m/sec = 8 m/sec.
Relative speed = (12 + 8) = m/sec = 20 m/sec.
∴ Required time = (120 + 120) / 20 secc = 12 sec
5. Two trains are running in opposite directions with the same

speed. If the length of each train is 120 metres and they cross
each other in 12 seconds, then the speed of each train (in
km/hr) is:
A.12 kmph
B.24 kmph
C.36 kmph
D.48 kmph
E.None of these
Solution
www.bankingpdf.com
Answer – C (36 kmph)
Explanation – Let the speed of each train be x m/sec.
Then, relative speed of the two trains = 2x m/sec.
So, 2x = (120 + 120)/12 ⇔ 2x = 20 ⇔ x = 10.
∴ Speed of each train = 10 m/sec = [10 x 18/5] km/hr = 36 km/hr
6. Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 kmph and

including stoppages, it is 45 kmph. For how many minutes does

7. A motor car starts with the speed of 70 km/hr with its speed
increasing every two hours by 10 kmph. In how many hours
will it cover 345 kms?
A.4 hrs
B.4 hrs 5 mins
C.4 1/2 hrs
D.2 hrs
E.None of these
Solution
Answer – C (4 1/2 hrs)

Explanation – Distance covered in first 2 hours = (70 x 2) km = 140
km
www.bankingpdf.com
Distance covered in next 2 hours = (80 x 2) km = 160 km
Remaining distance = 345 – (140 + 160) = 45 km.
Speed in the fifth hour = 90 km/hr
Time taken to cover 45 km = as speed is 90km/hr means it covers 90
km in 1 hour
so,if 90km………..1 hr
45km……….?
?=45/90hr=1/2hr
Total time taken = 2 + 2 +1/2=4 (1/2)hrs

the both the trips?
A.35 kmph
B.4o kmph
C.48 kmph
D.55 kmph
E.None of these
Solution

Explanation – Speed on return trip = 150% of 40 = 60 kmph
Average speed =
[2 x 40 x 60] / [40 + 6]km/hr =4800/100km/hr = 48 km/hr.

B. 2% loss
C. 3% loss
D. 25% loss
Solution
Answer – A (0.09% loss)

Explanation – Loss% = X^2/100=(3)^2/100 % =0.09%
3. A man sells two flats for Rs. 8000 each. neither loosing nor
gaining in the deal. If he sold one at a gain of 25%, the other
commodity sold at a loss of:
A. 50/3 %
B. 18 /3%
C. 25%
D. 32%
Solution
Answer – A (50/3 %)
Explanation – Total S.P = 16000 Rs. and Total C.P = 16000 Rs.
S.P. of Ist = Rs. 8000. Gain on it = 25%
C.P of Ist = Rs. (100/125 x 8000) = Rs.6400
C.P of 2nd = Rs, (16000 – 6400) = Rs. 9600.
S.P of 2nd = 8000.

resulted in:
A. no loss no gain
B. loss of Rs 1/12 lakh
C. loss of Rs 4lakh
D. gain of Rs 6lakh
www.bankingpdf.com
Solution
Answer – B (loss of Rs. 1/12 lakh)

Explanation – Total S.P = Rs. 2 lakh.
C.P of house = Rs. (100/80 x 1)lakh = Rs 5/4 lakh
C.P of shop = Rs. (100/120 x 1)lakh = Rs. 5/6 lakh
Total C.P = Rs. (5/4 + 5/6)lakh = Rs. 25/12 lakh
∴ loss = Rs.(25/12 – 2)lakh = Rs. 1/12 lakh.
5. Reshma purchased 120 chairs at price of Rs. 110 per chair. He

loss of Rs. 7 per chairs. What is the average profit per table?
A. Rs 10.56
B. Rs 10.87
C. Rs 12.123
D. Rs 12.67
Solution
Answer – B (Rs 10.875)

Explanation – Total C.P = Rs. (120 x 110) =Rs. 13200.
Total S.P = Rs.[(30 x 110 + 30 x 12) + (75 x 110 + 75 x 14) + (15 x
110 – 15 x 7)
=Rs..14505

A. Rs 7.10
B. Rs 7.60
www.bankingpdf.com
C. Rs 7.99
D. Rs 8
Solution
Answer – B (Rs 7.60)

Explanation – Total profit required = Rs.(42 x 18) = Rs.756
Profit on 22 sarees = Rs. (460 + 144) = Rs. 604
Profit on 20 sarees = Rs. (756 – 604) = Rs. 152
Average profit on these sarees = Rs.(152/20) = Rs. 7.60
7. Sanki purchased 20 dozen notebook at Rs. 48 per dozen. He

sold 8 dozen at 10% profit and remaining 12 dozen with 20%
profit. What is his profit percentage in the transaction?
A. 8%
B. 15%
C. 16%
D. 19%
Solution
Answer – C (16%)
Explanation – C.P of 20 dozen = Rs.(48 x 20) = Rs.960
C.P of 8 dozen = Rs. (48 x8) = Rs. 384.
C.P of 12 dozen =Rs. (960 – 384) = Rs. 576
Total S.P = Rs. (110/100 x 384 +120/100 x 576) = Rs.1113.60
∴ Profit % = (153.60/960 x 100)% =16%

A. loss of 5%
B. gain of 5
C. loss of 19%

Explanation – C.P of 3/4th = Rs. (3/4 x 400) = Rs. 300,
C.P of 1/4th = Rs. 100
∴ Total S.P = (90% of Rs. 300 + 110% of Rs. 100) = Rs. 380
Loss = (20/400 x 100)% = 5%
9. Reema buys dress for 10% less than its value and sells it for

A. no profit, no loss
B. 20% profit
C. less than 20% profit
D. more than 20% profit
Solution
Answer – D (more than 20% profit)

Explanation –
Let the article be worth Rs. x.
C.P. = 90% of Rs. x. = Rs.(9/10)x S.P. = 110% of Rs.x = Rs.(11/10)x
Gain = Rs.11/10x- 9/10x=(1/5)x
gain %=(2/5x) x (10/9x) x 100 =44.44% >20%

ii) a km / hr = a x 5/18 m /s
iii) a m/sec = a x 18/5 km/hr
Explanation:
Speed upstream ‘b’ = 750m / 775 sec = 30/31 m/sec
Speed downstream ‘a’ = 750 m/ (15/2)minutes [ 1min=60 sec] a =
750m/450 sec =5/3 m/sec
speed in still water = ½ (a+b)
= ½ (750/450 + 750/675 ) m /sec
= ½ (750/450 + 750/675 ) x 18/5 km/hr
= ½ (5/3 + 30/31) x 18/5 km/hr
= 4.7 km/hr
4. A man can row 9 (1/3) kmph in still water and finds that it
takes him
thrice as much time to row up than as to row down the same
distance in the
river. What is speed of the current ?
A. 5km/hr
B.3(1/2) km/hr
C.4 (2/3) km/hr
D.8 (3/2)km/hr
Answer
Answer- C
Basic Formula:
Speed of current = ½ (a-b) km/hr
Explanation:
Let man’s rate upstream be x km/hr. Then his rate downstream is 3 x
km/hr
Given:
Speed in still water = 9 (1/3) = 28/3 km/hr
i.e, ½ (a+b) = 28/3 km/hr
www.bankingpdf.com
½ (x+3x) = 28/3
2x = 28/3 x = 28/ 2 x 3 = 14/3 km/hr
rate upstream b = 14/3 km/hr and
rate downstream a = 14/3 x 3 = 14 km/hr
speed of the current = ½ (a-b) = ½ (14 – 14/3)
= ½ (42-14/3) = 28/6 = 4 (2/3) km/hr
5. Sham can row a boat at 10kmph in still water. IF the speed of

the
stream is 6kmph, the time taken to row a distance of 80km
down the stream
is
A.4 hours
B.5hours
C.3 hours
D.2 hours
Answer
Answer- B
Basic Formula:
Speed of stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr
Speed in still water = ½ (a+b) km/hr
Explanation:
Given:
Speed in still water, ½ (a+b) = 10 km/hr
a+b = 20 km/hr…………….(1)
speed of the stream, ½ (a-b) = 6km/hr
a-b = 12 km/hr …………….(2)
(1)+(2 ) we get 2a = 32
a = 16 km/hr
speed downstream =distance traveled / time taken
time taken = 80/16 = 5 hours
www.bankingpdf.com
6. A boat takes 4hours for traveling downstream from point P to
point
Q and coming back to point P upstream. If the velocity of the
stream is 2km
ph and the speed of the boat in still water is 4kmph, what is the
distance
between P and Q?
A.9 km
B.7 km
C.5 km
D.6km
Answer
Answer- D
Basic Formula:
Speed of stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr
Speed of still water = ½ (a+b) km/hr
Explanation:
Time taken by boat to travel upstream and downstream = 4 hours
Velocity of the stream, ½ (a-b) = 2km/hr
a-b = 4km/hr ……………….( 1)
velocity of the boat in still water = ½ (a+b) = 4km/hr
a+b = 8 km/hr ………………(2)
1 +2 we get a = 6 km/hr ,b = 2km/hr
let the distance between A and B be x km
x/2+x/6=4
3x + x / 6 = 4 4x = 24 so,x = 6
distance between P and Q = 6km
7. Speed of a boat in standing water is 9kmph and the speed of

the
stream is 1.5kmph. A man rows to a place at a distance of 10.5
km and
www.bankingpdf.com
comes back to the starting point. Find the total time taken by
him.
A.24 hours
B.16 hours
C.20 hours
D.15 hours
Answer
Answer- A
Basic Formula:
i. speed = distance traveled / time taken
ii. speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr
iii. speed in still water = ½ (a+b) km/hr
Explanation:
Speed in still water= ½ (a+b) = 9km ph
= a+b = 18 …………….1
speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) = 1.5 kmph
= a-b = 3 kmph…………2
solving 1 and 2 gives a = 10.5km/hr ; b=7.5 kmphr
Total time taken by him = 105/10.5 + 105/7.5 = 24 hours
8. A man rows to a place 48km distant and back in 14 hours. He

finds
that he can row 4km with the stream in the same time as 3km
against the
stream. Find the rate of the stream.
A.2 km/hr
B.1 km/hr
C.3 km/hr
D.3.5km/hr
Answer
www.bankingpdf.com
Answer- B
Basic Formula:
Speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) km / hr
Speed = distance traveled / time taken
Explanation:
Suppose he moves 4km downstream in x hours
Then, downstream a= 4 / x km/hr
Speed upstream b = 3/ x km/hr
48 / (4 /x) + 48 / (3/x) = 14
12x + 16x = 14
x = 1/2
a=8 km/hr ,b = 6 km/hr
rate of stream = ½ (8 – 6 )
= 1 km/hr
9. There is road besides a river. Two friends started from a place

P, moved to a shopping mall
situated at another place Q and then returned to P again. One
of them moves on a cycle at
a speed of 12 km/hr, while the other sails on a boat at a speed
of 10 km/hr. If the river
flows at the speed of 4 km/hr, which of the two friends will
return to place P?
A. Both
B. Boater
C. Cyclist
D. None of these
Answer
Answer-C
Explanation:
The cyclist moves both ways at a speed of 12khr so average speed fo
the
www.bankingpdf.com
cyclist – 12 km/hr
boat sailor moves downstream at 10+4 = 14km/hr and upstream 10-
4 = 6km/hr
Average speed of the boat sailor = 2 x 14 x 6 / 14 +6 = 42/ 5 =
8.4km/hr
The average speed of cyclist is greater .so,cyclist comes first and
return to
place P.
10. A this usual rowing rate, Mohit can travel 12 miles

downstream in a certain river in 6
hours less than it takes him to travel the same distance
upstream. But if he could double
his usual rowing rate for his 24 miles round trip, the
downstream 12 miles would then
take only one hour less than the upstream 12 miles. What is the
speed of the current in
miles per hour?
A.2.5m/hr
B.4 m/hr
C.8/3 m/hr
D. 5/3m/hr
Answer
Answer-C
Basic Formula:
Speed of the stream = ½ (a-b) km/hr
Explanation:
Let the speed in still water be x m/hr
Speed of stream be y m/hr
Then, speed upstream = x-y m/hr and
Speed downstream = x+y m/hr
12/x-y – 12 / x+y = 6 so,6 (x^2 – y^2) = 24 y
www.bankingpdf.com
x^2 – y^2 = 4y
x^2 = y^2 + 4y…………..1
also
12/ 2x-y – 12/2x +y = 1 4x^2 – y^2 = 24y
x^2 = [24y + y^2] / 4 ……………….2
16y + 4y^2 = 24y + y2 [put X^2 value from 1] 3y^2 = 8 y so, y =
8/3
speed of the current = 8/3 m/hr = 2 (2/3) m/hr

time=2/150 = 1/75 h
1 hour______3600 sec
1/75 hr______?
?= 3600/75=48 sec
www.bankingpdf.com
2. A 270 m long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses
another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80
kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train?
A.180
B.230
C.245
D.235
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (230)
Explanation – Relative speed = total lenghths /time
[120 +80] x5/18 ={ 270 + other train length (say L) } / 9 sec (x5/18
to convert km/hr to m/sec )
200 x (5/18) x9 = 270 + L
500 = 270 +L
L=230 m
Note: always do cutting ,avoid solving exact
3. Two trains of equal length are running on parallel lines in the

same direction at 46 km/hr and 36 km/hr. The faster train
passes the slower train in 36 seconds. The length of each train
is:
A.40 m
B.55 m
C.65 m
D.50 m
E.None of these
Answer
Answer- D (50)
Explanation – Relative speed= total lengths/time
(46-36) x 5/18 = [L + L ] / 36
www.bankingpdf.com
10 x (5/18) x36 x (1/2)= L
L=50 m
4. A train 125 m long passes a man, running at 5 kmph in the

same direction in which the train is going, in 10 seconds. The
speed of the train is:
A.35 km/hr
B.50 km/hr
C.48 km/hr
D.55 km/hr
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (50 km/hr)

Explanation – Let speed be S
Relative speed = total lengths/time [ in this case man length is neglible
compare to train so neglected] (S – 5) x 5/18 = 125 /10
S- 5 = (125/10)x(18/5)
S-5 = 45
S=50 km/hr
5. A train travelling at a speed of 75 mph enters a tunnel 7/2

miles long. The train is 1/4 mile long. How long does it take for
the train to pass through the tunnel from the moment the front
enters to the moment the rear emerges?
A.1 min
B.3 min
C.5 min
D.6 min
E.None of these
Answer
www.bankingpdf.com
Answer – B (3 min)
Explanation – Actually train is covering length of tunnel + its own
length here
so total distance = 7/2 + 1/4= 15/4 miles
time= distance /speed
time= (15/4) / 75 = 1/20 hour
(1/20)x60 = 3 min
6. A 300 metre long train crosses a platform in 39 seconds while it

crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds. What is the length of the
platform?
A.310 m
B.350 m
C.600 m
D.490 m
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – B (350 m)
Explanation – when it cross a pole actually it is crossing itself
so, S = 300/18
let length of platform be “p”
relative speed = total lengths/time
speed of train = [300 + p ]/39
(300/18)x39=300 +p
650 -300=p
p=350 m
Note : in this type of question one thing is pole,man and other is of
considerable length like platform ,bridge.
when train crosses pole,man it crosses itself
7. Two trains running in opposite directions cross a man standing

on the platform in 27 seconds and 17 seconds respectively and
www.bankingpdf.com
they cross each other in 23 seconds. The ratio of their speeds
is:
A.1 : 3
B.3 : 4
C.3 : 2
D.Data inadequate
E.None of these
Answer
Answer – C (3 : 2)
Explanation – Let the speeds of the two trains be x m/sec and y
m/sec respectively.
Then, length of the first train = 27x metres,
and length of the second train = 17y metres.
relative speed = total lengths/time
x + y = [27x + 17 y ]/23
23x + 23y = 27x + 17 y
27x-23x= 23 y-17y
4x=6y
x/y=6/4=3/2= 3:2
8. The distance between two cities A and B is 330 km. A train

km/hr. The train needs 8.4 and 8.5 seconds respectively to
overtake them. What is the speed of the train if both the
persons are walking in the same direction as the train?
A.59 km/hr
B.65 km/hr
www.bankingpdf.com
C.70 km/hr
D.81 km/hr
E. None of these
Answer
Answer-D (81 km/hr)

Explanation-
4.5 km/hr =(4.5 x 5/18)m/sec =5m/4sec = 1.25 m/sec, and
5.4 km/hr =(5.4 x 5/18)m/sec =3m/2sec = 1.5 m/sec.
Let the speed of the train be x m/sec.
Then, (x – 1.25) x 8.4 = (x – 1.5) x 8.5
=> 8.4x – 10.5 = 8.5x – 12.75
=> 0.1x = 2.25
=> x = 22.5
Therefore Speed of the train =(22.5 x18 /5)km/hr = 81 km/hr.

Partnership Set 1
1. A, B and C enter into a partnership and their shares are in ratio

1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4, after 2 months, A withdraws half of his capital
and after 12 months, a profit of Rs 1050 is divided among them.
What is B’s share ?
A.Rs.420
B.Rs. 300
C.Rs.400
D.Rs.350
Answer
Answer- C(Rs.400)
Explanation : Ratio of investments =1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 , LCM of 2, 3, 4
= 12 ,multiply ratios with 12 we get 6 : 4 : 3 , so,initial investment be
6x, 2x and 3x so, we can write: A : B :C
=(6x X 2 + 3x X 10 ) : (4x X 12) :(3x X 12) = 7:8:6
B’s share= (8/21) x 1050 = 400
2. A started a business with Rs. 21,000 and is joined afterwars by

B with Rs. 36,000. After how many months did B join if the
profits at the end of the year are divided equally?
A.8 months
www.bankingpdf.com
B.2 months
C.5 months
D.7 months
Answer
Answer – C (5 months)
Explanation – let B joined after x months
Then, 21000 x 12 = 36000 x (12 – x)36 = 180x = 5Hence, B joined
after 5 months
3. Anju and Bimal are partners in a business. Anju contributes 1 /

4 of the capital for 15 months and Bimal received 2 / 3 of the
profit, for how long Bimal’s money was used ?
A.5 months
B.3months
C.8 months
D.10 months
Answer
Answer- D (10 months)

Explanation- Let total profit is x
Then Bimal’s share in profit= (2/3)x
so anju’s share in profit= x- (2/3)x =x/3
so,we get ratios of profit of Anju :Bimal :: 1:2
Let total capital invested be Rs P and Anju’s money was used for 15
months while Bimal’s money was used for b months .
then, (1/4)P X 15 divide by (3/4)P x b = 1/2 [ Capital x time =profit]
so,we get b=10
Bimal’s money was used for 10 months
4. In a business P and R invested amounts in the ratio 2 : 1,

whereas the ratio between amounts invested by P and Q was 3
: 2 . If Rs. 2,236 was their profit, how much amount did Q
www.bankingpdf.com
receive ?
A.Rs.650
B.Rs.688
c.Rs.588
D.Rs.490
Answer
Answer- B(Rs.688 )
Solution : P : Q = 3 : 2 , P : R = 2 : 1 [given] Q : P = 2 : 3 [reverse],
Q : P = 4 : 6 [multiply by 2] Now, P : R = 2 : 1
P : R = 6 : 3 [multiply by 3] P : Q =6 : 4 [after x3] , So Q : P : R = 4 :
6:3
or, P : Q : R = 6 : 4 : 3
Q’s share= 4/13 x 2236=Rs.688
5. A, B and C rent a land. A puts 10 tractors for 7 months, B puts

share of rent?
A.45000
B.50000
C.57000
D.64000
Answer
Answer – A (45000)
Explanation – A : B : C = 10 x 7 : 12 x 5 : 15 x 3
= 70 : 60 : 45
= 14 : 12 : 9.
∴ C’s rent = Rs. [175000 x 9/35] = Rs. 45000.
6. P and Q started a partnership business investing some amount

in the ratio of 3:5. R joined them after six months with an

as B. If B got a profit of 4000, what was the total profit?
A.30,000
B.28,000
C.40,000
D.45,000
Answer
Answer- B(28,000)
Explanation:- let B’s investment= X then A’s investment= 3X
lets tim for B = t then,A’s time= 2t
A:B
3X x 3t : X x t
6:1
B’s share= 1/7 x total = 4000
total=28,000
8. A and B entered into a partnership investing Rs. 16000 and Rs.

12000 respectively. After 3 months, A withdrew Rs. 5000 while
B invested Rs. 5000 more. After 3 more months C joins the

A.Rs. 2400
B.Rs. 3600
C.Rs. 3000
D.Rs. 4800
Answer
Answer: B (Rs. 3600)

Explanation: A:B: C = 16000 x3 + 11000×9:12000 x 3 + 17000 x
9:21000 x 6 = 147:189:126 = 7:9:6

(6/22)) = Rs. 3600.
9. Ashok being the sleeping partner receives 1/10th of profit and

the remaining is divided between pramod and prakash in the
ratio of 1:2..If the difference between the profit shares of
Ashok and Prakash is Rs.2000.What is pramod’s share in Rs.?
A.Rs.1800
B.Rs.2200
C.Rs.1200
D.Rs.1500
Answer
Answer:- C (1200)
Explanation:-
let total profit =x
ashok’s share in profit is (1/10)x
remaining profit = x= (1/10)x= (9/10)x
pramod’s share= 1/3 x (9/10)x = (3/10 )x
Prakash’s share= 2/3 x (9/10)x = (6/10)x
ashok – prakash= (6/10)x -(1/10)x = (5/10)x
www.bankingpdf.com
5/10 x = 2,000 so, x= 4000
pramod’s share= (3/10) x 4000=1200
10. P and Q invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If 5% of the

total profit goes to charity and P’s share is Rs. 855, the total
profit is:
A.Rs. 1435
B.Rs. 1500
C.Rs. 1538
D.Rs. 1580
Answer
Answer- B (Rs.1500)
Explanation:
Let the total profit be Rs. 100.
After paying to charity, A’s share = Rs. 95 x 3/5 = Rs. 57.
If A’s share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.
If A’s share Rs. 855, total profit =(100/57) x 855 = 1500.

Let age of the daughter before 10 years = x
Then, age of Madhan before 10 years = 3x
After 10 years, Madhan will be twice as old as his daughter.
⇒ 3x + 20 = 2( x+20)
⇒ x = 20
⇒ Present age of Madhan = 3x + 10
= 3× 20+ 10
= 70 years.

Since P and Q move in the opposite direction along the circular field, so they will first
meet each other when there is a difference of one round between the two.
Relative speed of P and Q = 8+2 = 10 rounds per hour.
Time taken to complete one round at this speed = 1/10 hr = 6 min.
6 Hrs 45 min + 6 min = 6 hrs 51 min i.e, 6.51 a.m
3. a
Part of the tank filled by pipe P in 1 minute = 1 / 40
Part of the tank filled by pipe Q in 1 minute = 1 / 15
Part of the tank filled by pipe R in 1 minute = 1/ 30
Here we have to find the proportion of the solution Y.
Pipe Q discharges chemical solution Y.
Part of the tank filled by pipe Q in 5 minutes
= 5 × 1 / 15 = 1 / 3
Part of the tank filled by pipe P, Q, R together in 1 minute
= 1/40 + 1/15 + 1/30
= (3+8+4)/120 = 15 / 120 = 1 / 8.
Part of the tank filled by pipe P, Q, R together in 5 minute
= 5 × 1/8 = 5/ 8
Required proportion = (1/3) / ( 5/8) = 8 / 15
4. c
Rate of downstream=(20 / 5 ) kmph= 4kmph

Suppose they meet z hours after 6 a.m.
Distance covered by X in z hours = 25× z km.
Distance covered by Y in (z - 2) hours = 35(z - 2) km.
www.bankingpdf.com
Therefore 25z + 35(z- 2) = 170
60z = 240
x = 4.
So, they meet at 10 a.m.
6. a
C.I = 8000 * (1+(10/100))2 –8000
= 8000 *110/100 * 110/100 – 8000 = 9680 – 8000 = Rs.1680
Therefore, S.I = C.I / 2 = 1680 / 2=Rs. 840
840 = sum * 4 * 5 / 100
:. Sum = Rs.(840 * 100)/ (4 *5) = Rs.4200
7. b
Profit = (S.P of 25 balls) - (C.P of 25 balls) = 1015 - (C.P of 25 balls)
Given that Profit = (C.P of 10 balls)
=> 1015 - (C.P of 25 balls) = (C.P of 10 balls)
=> (C.P of 25 balls) + (C.P of 10 balls) = 1015
=> C.P of 35 balls = 1015
=> C.P of 1 ball=1015 / 35 = Rs. 29

ANSWERS:
1. b
As per bar chart, Difference will be
[80-65]*100000 = 15,00,000 tonnes
Please note: we multiplied it by 100000, because graph is given in "lakh" tones
2. d
Average production of Company A in the period 2002 – 2005 = ( 55+ 60+ 65+ 50)/4=
57.5
Average production of Company C in the period 2002 – 2005 = (45+ 55+ 75+ 70)/4
=61.25
Required ratio = 61.25 : 57.5 = 2.45 : 2.30 = 49: 46
3. a
Percentage increase in the production of Company C from 2003 to 2005 = ((70-55) /
55) * 100
=(15/55) *100 = 27.27 % ≈ 27%
4. c
Average production of Company A in the period 2001 – 2005 = (70+ 55+ 60+ 65+
50)/5= 60
Average production of Company B in the period 2001 – 2005 = (55+ 65+ 80+45+
65)/5= 62
Average production of Company C in the period 2001 – 2005 = (60+45+ 55+ 75+
70)/5 =61
So company B has the maximum average.
5. e
2001 → % = (55 /70)*100= 78.5 %
www.bankingpdf.com
2002 → % = (65 / 55)*100= 118.2 %
2003→ % = (80/60)*100= 133.3%
2004→ % = (45/65)*100 = 69.2%
2005→ % = (65/50)*100= 130%
So for 2003 the percentage is highest.
6. c
Average amount of interest paid by the Company during the given period
= Rs.[21.5+34.2+24.3+29.6+31.5]/5 lakhs
= Rs.[141.1/5] lakhs
= Rs. 28.22 lakhs.

Answers:
1).c) 2).b) 3).d) 4).c) 5).b) 6).e) 7).c) 8).a) 9).d) 10).a)
Solution:
1). A= P[1+(r/100)]n
or, 13000 [1+(r/100)]2 = 16307.20
or, [1+(r/100)]2 = 16307.20/13000 = (112/100)2
or, 1+r/100 = 112/100
www.bankingpdf.com
or, r/100 = 12/100
:. R= 12% per annum
:. Now, cost price = (14280 × 100)/119 = Rs. 12000
= % profit = [(16800 - 12000)/12000] × 100
= [(4800×100)/12000] = 40%
Answer is: c)
2). We consider all the three vowels (U, I, E) as one letter, so total number of letters = 6,
and three vowels can be arranged in 3! Ways among themselves. However, the letter ‘L’

Answer is: c)
5). Let the principal be Rs.X

Now, 5140.8-X=(X×3.25×8)/100
or, 514080 – 100x = 26x
Or, x = (514080/126) = Rs. 4080
Answer is: b)
www.bankingpdf.com
6). Let the cost price be Rs. X
:. Selling price = 85X/100
If profit is 24% then selling price = 124X/100
Now, (124X/100) – (85X/100) = 241.8
Or. X= (24180/39) = Rs.620
For 30% gain SP = (130/100)×620 = Rs. 806
Answer is: e)
7). Let the number of girls be x.

The number of boys is 45.
:. Total age of boys and girls in the class = (x+45) × 12.05
or, (x+45) × 12.05 = 45 × 11.75 + x × 12.5
or, 12.05x + 542.25 = 528.75 + 12.5x
or, 13.5 = 0.45x
or, x = 13.5/0.45 = 30
Answer is: c)

Solutions:
1). I.x2 – 11x+24=0
=> x2 – 8x – 3x + 24 =0
=>x(x-8)-3(x-8) = 0
=>(x-8)(x-3) = 0
X=8 or 3
II.2y2 – 9y + 9 = 0
=>2y2 – 6y – 3y + 9 =0
=>2y(y-3)-3(y-3)=0
=> (y-3)(2y-3)=0
Y= 3 or 3/2
Hence, x ≥y
Answer: b)

2).I.x3 × 13 = x2 × 247
=>x3/x2 = 247/13
=> x=19
II.y1/3 × 14 =294 ÷ y2/3
=>14y1/3 = 294/y2/3
=>14y1/3 ×y2/3 = 294
=>y=294/14 = 21
Hence, x < y
Answer: c)
3).I.12 × 4/x4/7 – 3 × 4 / x4/7 = x10/7

=>48/x4/7 -12 / x4/7 = x10/7
=>48-12/x4/7 = x10/7
=>36 = x10/7 × x4/7
=>36= x2 => x = √36 = 6
II.y3 + 783 = 999
=>Y3 =999-783
=> y3=216
y=3√216 = 6
Hence,x = y or the relationship cannot be established.
Answer: e)
4).I.√500 x + √402 = 0
=> √500 x = -√402
=> x = √402/500

Solution:
1). Sum of their present ages = 60 years
sum of their ages, 5 years hence = 60 + (5 × 2) = 70 years.
after 5 years, ratio of ages of A and B will be 3 : 4.
A’s age after 5 years = (3/7) × 70 = 30 years
A’s present age = 30 – 5 = 25 years
Answer: a)
2). Sum of their ages, 3 years ago = 46 – (2 × 3) = 40 years

sunil’s age, 3 years ago = 1/5 × 40 = 8 years
sunil’s present age = 8 + 3 = 11 years
Answer: c)
3). Sum of present ages of A, B and C is 72 years.

sum of their ages (4 years ago) = 72 – (3 × 4) = 60 years
4 years ago, ratio of ages of A, B and C was 1 : 2 :3.
A’s age, 4 years ago = (1/6) ×60 = 10 years
A’s present age = 10 + 4 = 14 years
Answer: d)
4). Let the required time be x years.

then (50+x) = 2 (18 + x) = 50 + x = 36 + 2x  x = 14 years.
Alternative method : Double of B’s age = 2 × 18 = 36 years
difference between A’s present age and double of B’s age = 50 – 36= 14 years.
A will be twice of B’s age after 14 years.
Answer: a)
www.bankingpdf.com
5). Sum of present ages = 35 years
sum of their ages will be 85 years after (85-35) / 2 = 25 years from now.
the father is 25 years older than his son.
Present age of father = (35 + 25)/2 = 30 years.
Answer: c)
6). Difference in two sums = 80- 36 = 44

Age of both are increased by 44/2 = 22 years
Difference in ages of father and son = 22 years
sum of present ages of father and son = 36 years
Son’s present age = 1/2 × (36 - 22) = 7 years
Answer: b)
7). Sum of ratios = 8 +5 = 13.

Sum of ages = 39 years
13 ratio = 39 years  1 ratio = 3 years
9 years = 3 ratio
new ratio = (8+3) : (5+3) = 11 : 8
Answer: d)
8). Let the age of C be x years. Then age of B = 2x and age of A = 2x + 2

sum of ages of A, B and C = (2x + 2) + (2x) + x = 37

wife’s age at the time of marriage = 30 – 12 = 18 years
Answer: a)
10). Father’s age = 40 years. Children’s combined age = 3 + 2= 5 years

Double of their ages = 2 × 5 = 10 years
Difference between father’s age and combined age = 40 – 10 = 30 years

SOLUTION:
1). Distance travelled by first train in one hour
= 60 x 1 = 60 km
Therefore, distance between two train at 9 a.m.
= 330 – 60 = 270 km
Now, Relative speed of two trains = 60 + 75 = 135 km/hr
Time of meeting of two trains =270/135=2 hrs.
Therefore, both the trains will meet at 9 + 2 = 11 A.M.
Answer: c)
2). Distance covered in 10 minutes at 20 kmph = distance covered in 8 minutes at

(20+x) kmph
20× 10/60=8/60(20+x)
200 = 160 + 8x
8x = 40
x=40/8=5 kmph
Answer: c)
3). Let Abhay's speed be x km/hr.

Then, 30/x-30/2x= 3
6x = 30
www.bankingpdf.com
x = 5 km/hr.
Answer: a)
4). Let the speed of the train be x km/hr and that of the car be y km/hr.
Then, 120/x+480/y= 8 1/x+4/y=1/15 ....(i)
And, 200/x+400/y=25/3 1/x+2/y=1/24 ....(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60 and y = 80.
Ratio of speeds = 60 : 80 = 3 : 4.
Answer: c)
5). If the distance be x km, then x/40-x/50=6/60

Solution:
1). From I, (x-11)(x-14) = 0
x = 11, 14
from II, (y-11)(y-9) = 0
y = 11, 9
hence x ≥ y
Answer: b)
2). From I, 4(x2 – 14x + 48) = 0

4 (x-6)(x-8) = 0
x = 6, 8
From II, 5(y2 – 16y + 63) = 0
5(y - 7)(y-9) = 0
y = 7, 9
x = y or the relationship between x and y cannot be determined
Answer: e)
3). Equ I × 2 + II ×3  12x – 10 y + 9y – 12x = 22-15

y = -7
and x = -4
hence x > y
Answer: c)

4). From I, 3x = 37
x=7
from II, 2y = 512
y=9
hence x < y
Answer: a)
5). From I, 45x2 – 25x – 18 x + 10 = 0

5x (9x - 5) – 2(9x - 5) = 0
(9x - 5)(5x - 2) = 0
x = 5/9, 2/5
From II, 72y2 – 40y – 63y + 35 = 0
8y (9y - 5) -7(9y - 5) = 0
(9y - 5)(8y - 7) = 0
y = 5/9, 7/8
hence x ≤ y

1). Under the normal speed, 40 minutes for half the distance
Due to rain, time taken will be 40 / (2/3) = 40 × (3/2) = 60 minutes
So, in 20 minutes he has to cover the distance he usually covers in 40 minutes.
So, he has to travel at twice the original speed.
Answer: b)
www.bankingpdf.com
2). An easy way to solve this question is use x = 3, y=4
7x – 4y = 21 – 16 = 5
3x + y = 9+4 = 13
Required ratio = 5:13
Answer: c)
3). Let the amount be P

Half yearly rate = 5/2 = 2.5%
For the deposit on January, Amount = P (1 + 2.5 / 100)2
For the deposit on July, Amount = P (1 + 2.5 /100)
We can solve the question by substituting options now.
If P = 1600, Amount in January = 1600 × 1.025 × 1.025 = 1681
Amount in July = 1600 × 1.025 = 1640
So total interest = 81 + 40 = 121
Required answer is 1600
Answer: e)
4). Let current year be 2015

In 2005, sum of all ages = 25×45 = 1125
In 2015, sum of all ages = 1125 + (25×10) = 1375
Now 60 year old teacher was replaced by a 54 year old teacher. So we need to subtract
6 from the total.
Sum of all ages in 2015 considering the replacement teacher = 1375 – 6 = 1369
Average = 1369/25 = 54.76
Answer: c)
5). Area of equilateral triangle = 16√3 = √3 (side)2 /4

Or side2 = 16×4 = 64
So each side = 8cm
www.bankingpdf.com
Perimeter = 8×3 = 24 cm
Since perimeter of the square is 24 cm, each side = 6cm
So area = 6×6 = 36 sq cm
Answer: e)
6). Probability that at least one is defective = 1 – probability that none is defective
Probability that none is defective = 10C5 / 15C5 = 12/143
Required Probability = 1-12/143 = 131/143
Answer: e)
7). Selling price = Rs. 40

Loss = 20%
Therefore, cost price = 40×100 /(100 - 20) = Rs. 50
Therefore, cost price of each lemon = Rs. 50/45
Now, selling price = Rs. 24
Profit = 20%
Cost price = 24×100/120 = Rs. 20
Number of lemons for Rs. 20 = 20/(50/45) = 900/50 = 18
Answer: d)
8). Let the time taken by Ram, Suresh and Shilpa to finish the work alone be A, B and C
respectively
Therefore, 1/A + 1/B + 1/C = 1
Also it is given that,
A = B/3 and C =B/2
3/B + 1/B + 2/B = 6/B = 1, or B = 6
Hence, time taken by Ram, Suresh and Shilpa to finish the work alone is 2 days, 6 days
and 3 days respectively
www.bankingpdf.com
Hence, difference between the number of days taken by Ram and Shilpa, each working
alone, to complete the work = 3-2 = 1
Answer: a)
9). Total time = 42 minutes = 0.7 hours.

Average speed = 10 kmph
Total distance = 0.7×10 = 7 km
Let distance walked = W
W/4 + (7-W)/25 = 0.7
Solving W = 2
Answer: a)
10). From 1 to 10 : 1 zero

Solution:
1).Let the uniform speeds of A,B,C be vA,vB,vC, respectively.
Let t1 be the time taken for the race between A and B and t2 be the time taken for race
between B and C
Since A covers the distance in time t1, race between A and C also takes time
t1.Therefore,
VAt1-VBt1 =20
VBt2 –Vct2=10
VAt1 - Vct1=28
Also, VAt1=VBt2 = d. Thus VBt1 =d-20, Vct2=d – 10 and VCt2= d – 10 and VCt1=d-28.
(d-20)/(d-28) = VB/ VC = d/(d-10)
Thus (d-20)(d-10)=d(d-28).Hence, d=100.

2). Length of the wire = circumference of the circle

2 × (22/7) × 56 = 2 × 22 × 8 = 352 cm
side of square = 352/4 = 88cm
area of square = 88 × 88 = 7744 sq.cm
Answer: c)
3). Let ‘x’ be the distance between house and station.

Time taken to travel a distance of x at the speed of 10km/hr, T1 = x/10 hours
Time taken to travel a distance of x at the speed of 15km/hr, T2 = x/15 hours
we know that T1 – T2 = 2 hours
therefore, we get x = 60 km
also, we can conclude that starting time is 12 pm [60/15 = 4, since he reach station at 4
pm travelling at 15 km/hr]
hence, to reach the station at 5 pm, speed = 60/5 = 12 km/hr [12 pm – 5pm, time = 5
hours]

Answer: d)
9).Initially:10 Mojo + 10 Cojo

Step 1: 5 kg of mixture removed : So we will have 7.5 kg Mojo,cojo and 5 kg of Bojo
Step 2:8 kg of mixture removed : So,3 kg of Mojo and cojo will be removed, 2 kg of Bojo
New Mojo =7.5 - 3 + 6 =10.5 kg
New Cojo=7.5 - 3 = 4.5kg
New Bojo =5 - 2 + 2 = 5 kg

C = 100 × 0.85 × 0.85 × 0.85 ×0.85 ~ =52.2
D = 100 × 0.8 × 0.6 =48
We see that the maximum discount of 52% (100-48) is on D, which is the best for a
customer.
Answer : d
3).Work done by A and B in one day = 1/11 + 1/20 =31/220
Work done by A and C in one day = 1/11 + 1/55 =6/55
www.bankingpdf.com
Work done in 2 days = 31 /220+6/55=55/220 = ¼
Hence, 1/4 of the work is done in 2 days
Hence, it takes 8 days to finish the work
Answer : c
4).Radius = 70m, So circumference = 2 × (22/7) × 70 =440m
Relative speed = 10 +20 = 30m/s
They will meet everytime at the starting point when the distance covered by both put
together is a multiple of 440
LCM of (440,30) = 44 × 30
So, they will meet at starting point every 44 seconds.
In 30minutes, they will meet =1800/44 =40.9
So they will meet 40 times (we need to ignore the decimal part).
Answer : b
5). Let the age of Ram be R, brother be B
R=3B
And (R + 9 ) =1.5(B + 9)
3B + 9 =1.5B + 13.5
1.5B =4.5 or B = 3 years R= 9 years.
Father current age = 4R(Since father is 3 times older than Ram, his age is R + 3 R,
and not 3R)
Father age when Ram is 1.5 times the age of his brother = 4R + 9 = 45.
Answer : c
6). from statement I :
Let the price of product Q be ‘P’
Then the price of product R is 4P
From Statement II:
Cost of product Q =2
Cost of product R=5
Therefore,
www.bankingpdf.com
Profit percentage of product Q = (P-2 ) × 100/2 =50(P-2)=50P – 100
Profit percentage of product R = (4P -5) × 100/5=20(4P-5)=80P-100
Hence, product R is more profitable.
Both statements are required to answer the question

Therefore, a = 3(a-17-3)
a=3a-60
2a=60
A=30
Hence, X is 30 years old
From statement II:
a + 9 = 3b
b=(a+9)/3
Substituting this in first equation,
A=a+9-9
Hence, no result
Therefore, statement I alone is sufficient

5). Let the age of Ram be R, brother be B
R=3B
And (R + 9 ) =1.5(B + 9)
3B + 9 =1.5B + 13.5
1.5B =4.5 or B = 3 years R= 9 years.
Father current age = 4R(Since father is 3 times older than Ram, his age is R + 3 R,
and not 3R)
Father age when Ram is 1.5 times the age of his brother = 4R + 9 = 45.
Answer : c
6). from statement I :
Let the price of product Q be ‘P’
Then the price of product R is 4P

5). Required percentage = [(112 - 32) / 32] × 100 = (80 / 32) × 100 = 250%
Answer: a)
www.bankingpdf.com
6). No. of candidates who appeared from states C and E together = (8% + 9%) of
45000 = 17% of 45000
No. of candidates who appeared from states A and F together = (15% + 18%) of
45000 = 33% of 45000
Required ratio = 17% of 45000 : 33% of 45000 = 17 : 33
Answer: a)
7). Let us compare the ratios for states given in option.

States C F D E G
No. of (8 / 100) (18/100) × (17/100) × (9/100) ×45000 (22/100) ×

who appeared = 3600 8100
No. of qualified (7/100) × (11/100) × (21/100) ×9000 (14/100) ×9000 (13/100) ×9000
candidates 9000 = 9000 = 990 = 1890 = 1260 = 1170
630
Ratio (630 / (990/8100) 1890/7650 1260/4050 1170/9900

3600) =
(11/90)<(1/6) (189/765)>(1/6) (126/405)>(1/6) (117/990)<(1/6)
(7/40) =
1/6
Since we have to find minimum percentage increase, compare 11/90 and 117/990
11/90 = 121/990, 121/990 > 117/990
Hence, state G has minimum percentage increase.
Answer: e)
8). Qualified candidates of B and C to together = (16% + 7%) of 9000 = 23% of 9000
www.bankingpdf.com
Appeared candidates of B and C together = (11% + 8%) of 45000 = 19% of 45000
Required % = [(23 × 9000) / (19 × 45000)] × 100 = [(23 × 100) / (19 × 5)] = (23 × 20)
/ 19 = 24.21%
Answer: b)
9). Required ratio = (16% + 21%) of 9000 : 8% of 45000

(37 / 100) × 9000 = (8/100) × 45000 = 37 × 9000 : 8×45000 = 37 : 8 ×5 = 37 : 40

Solution:
1). Let quantities of milk and water in the mixture be 3x and 2x. Then if 4 litres of water
is added to the mixture the ratio of milk and water become 1:1.
It can be written as (3x): (2x + 4) = 1/1
Thus, 3x = 2x +4
x=4
Therefore, the milk in the mixture is 4x3 = 12 litres and quantity of water = 4x2 = 8 liters
Answer: a)
2). Work done by A in one day = 1/5 and work done by B in one day = 1/7
They are working alternately.
Therefore, Work done in first two day = (1/5 + 1/7) = 12/35
Work done in first four day = 24/35
Work done in first 5 days = 24/35 + 1/5 = 31/35
Remaining work = 4/35
Day it will take B to complete = 4/35/1/7 = 4/5 of the day.
Therefore Total days taken = 5 + 4/5 = 29/5 days
Answer: b)
3). Let the income be 3x and 2x. It is given that the saving of each is Rs. 2000.
www.bankingpdf.com
Then, their expenditures are 3x – 2000 and 2x – 2000
Again, (3x – 2000)/(2x – 2000) = 5/3
=> 3(3x – 2000) = 5(2x – 2000)
=> 9x – 6000 = 10x – 10000
=> 9x -10x = -10000+ 6000
=> -x = -4000
=> x = 4000
Therefore, their salaries are 3 x 4000 = 12000 and 2 x 4000 = 8000
Answer: d)
4). Let the two numbers be 3x and 4x.

When they are increased by 9 they become 3x + 9 and 4x + 9.
It is given that the ratio is 18:23
Thus, 3x + 9/4x + 9 = 18:23
23(3x + 9) = 18(4x + 9)
69x + 207 = 72x + 162
69x – 72x = 162- 207
-3x = -45
X = 15
Thus two numbers are 3x15 = 45 and 4 x 15 = 60
And the sum is 60+45 = 105
Answer: b)
5). Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b
Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10
=> 6m + 8b = 1/10
=> 60m + 80b = 1 --- (1)
Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2
=> 26m + 48b = ½
www.bankingpdf.com
=> 52m + 96b = 1--- (2)
Solving equation 1 and equation 2, We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200
Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day
= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4
=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days
Answer: a)
6). Export of Diamond in March

= 8% of 40 = 3.2 billion
Now, Export of Diamond in April
= 8% of 33 = 2.64 billion
Number of times = 3.2/2.64 = 1.212 times
Answer: b)
7). Total export of Cotton in the given period = 35% of (40 + 33 + 34 + 32 + 38 + 39)
= 35% of 216 = 75.6 billion
Average export of Cotton
= 75.6/6 = 12.6 billions
Answer: d)
8). Export of Rice and Cotton in August

= 65% of 39 = 25.35 billion
Total export in the other three sectors
= 35% of 39 = 13.65 billion
Required per cent = 25.35/13.65 × 100
= 185.714 = 186%
Answer: c)

9). There is no data available for previous year, so we can’t find the solution.
Answer: d)
10). Export of Sugar in July = 14% of 38 = 5.32 billion

Now, export of Iron in April = 13% of 33 = 4.29 billion
% increase = (5.32 - 4.29)/4.29 × 100
= 1.03 × 100 / 4.29 = 24.009 = 24%.

Solution:
1). Let the length of the park be x metres.
Width = x × 10 / 21 = 10x / 21
Area = x × 10x / 21 = 3360
or, x^2 = 3360 × 21 / 10 = 7056
or, x = 84
Hence, length = x = 84m and width = 84 × 10 / 21 = 40 metres
Difference = 84 – 40 = 44 metres
Answer: b)
2). Let my age = x

Answer: b)
6). Each term in the series is the addition of successive prime numbers. Like Prime
numbers are2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29 and so on. So first term is addition of (2 +
3). Ie 5, then second term is (3 + 5) ie 8, then (5+7) ie. 12, then (7+11) i.e. 18, then
(11+13) i.e. 24, then (13+17)ie. 30, then (17+19)ie.36, then (19+23)ie., 42, then
(23+29)i.e. 52.
Answer: a)
7). Difference between each successive tam is factorial of number starting from 2, like
23-21 = 2, then 29-23 = 6 means 3!, then 53-29 = 24 means 4!, then next difference is
173-53 = 120 means 5!, so next difference would be 6! i.e. 720 so term will be 173+720
= 893.
Answer: b)
8). This series is formed by subtracting 1 from the series of 11, 222, 3333, 44444,
555555 and so on. So the missing tam is 3333-1 = 3332.
Answer: c)
9). Number in each term is the product of the successive prime numbers starting from
two, for first term 2×3 = 6, for second term 3×5 = 15, for third term 5×7 = 35, so missing
term is 7×11 = 77.

Solution:
1). Let the man’s upstream speed be x km/hour and downstream speed will be 2x
km/hour
Speed in still water = 1/2 (2x + x) = 3x/2 km/hour
3x/2 = 15
X = 10
Hence, his downstream speed = 20km/hour
www.bankingpdf.com
Rate of stream = 1/2 (20-10) = 5km/hour
Answer: a)
2). Let the incomes of two persons be 5x and 4x

let the expenditures of them be 9y and 7y
Each person saves Rs. 500
Therefore,
5x – 9y = 500
4x – 7y = 500
Solving the above equations,
20x – 36y = 2000
20x – 35y = 2500
Y = 500
Therefore,
5x = 500 + 9y
5x = 500 + 9(500) = 5000
X = 1000
Hence, their salaries are Rs. 5000 and Rs. 4000
Answer: c)
3). Let the sum be S, time be ‘n’ years for 6%. n+2 years for 5%
2400 = S + S ×n × 6/100
2400 = S + S × (n+2) × 5/100
So, 6n = 5(n+2) or n = 10 years.
2400 = S + S × 10 × 6/100 = 1.6S
S = 2400/1.6 = 1500
Answer: a)
4). Total expenditure for first 3 months = 2200 × 3 = Rs 6600
www.bankingpdf.com
Total expenditure for next 4 months = 2250 × 4 = Rs9000
Total expenditure for last 5 months = 3120 × 5 = Rs 15600
Total expenditure = 6600 + 9000 + 15600 =Rs 31200
Total income = expenditure + savings = 31200 + 1260 = Rs 324060
Average monthly income = 32460/12 = Rs 2705

iii. 4 women and 1 men = 5C4 × 8C1 = 5 × 8 = 40
Total = 560 + 280 + 40 = 880
Answer: c)
7). Let say he purchases 3 litres of milk whose cost is Rs. 7.20
He adds 1 litre of water and the mixture of 4 litres is sold at Rs 2.88 × 4 = Rs11.52
Profit percentage = (11.52 – 7.20) × 100.0/7.20 = 4.32 × 100.0/7.2 = 60%
Answer: e)
8). Amount of work done by A in one day = 1/8th of the total work
B can break 1/3rd of the work in one day
Therefore, if both of them are working together then the work done in one day = 1/8 –
1/3 = -5/24
Negative sign indicates that, work is more broken than built in one day
www.bankingpdf.com
Amount of work done by A in four days = 1/2 of the total work
Work done by both A and B for two days = -10/24 = -5/12
Total work done by the end of 6 days = 1/2 - 5/12 = 1/12
Remaining work = 1 – 1/12 = 11/12
Time taken by A to finish 11/12th of the work = 11/12 × 8 = 22/3 days
Answer: b)
9). Let the numbers be a,b

A = 27m, b = 27n where m, n are co-prime
27(m + n) = 216, or m+n = 8
M = 1, n = 7 and m = 3, n = 5 are the only 2 co – prime pairs possible.
So we have 2 pairs: (27 , 189) and ( 81, 135)

P = Rs. 42500
Answer: b)
3). Let the correct ages of Ramesh and Suresh be X in 2015 (since they are twins, they
will have the same age)
Given: 2x + 9 = 43
Or x = 17 years in 2015.
Age in 2021 = 17 + 6 = 23
Note: year of birth = 2015 – 17 = 1998. Reversing, Suresh = 1989 or 9 year older.
Answer: d)
4). 120 = 10% of the CP (2.5% loss to 7.5% profit)

Or CP = Rs. 1200
To gain 12.5%, SP = 1200 × 1.125 = Rs. 1350
Rs. 1350 = 25% discounted of Marked Price
Or marked Price = 1350/0.75 = Rs. 1800
Answer: b)
5). Time taken is same for both father and son

Let x be the distance son travelled before being overtaken by his father
Time taken by son = x/5 km/hour

Answers:
1)a 2)e 3)c 4)e 5)e 6)c 7)e 8)d 9)a 10)b
Solution:
1). From (a), we notice that the number is of the form 8n+2, which means it also leaves
a remainder 2 on being divided by 4. So, its not divisible by 12.
www.bankingpdf.com
From (b) and (c) together, the number can be any multiple of 6, from which we cant
conclusively say if number is divisible by 12.
Answer: a)
2). The fact that half scored above 700, and other half less than 700 does not tell the
actual distribution of scores to calculate the average. Statement (c) also does not help
us determine the average.
Answer: e)
3). Let C be the wholesale price, listed Price be P. from (a), P = 1.2C
From (b), 0.9P = C + 10. Using statement (a), 1.2C = C + 10, from this we can
determine C.
From (C), we have sales price = C + 50. From this we cant determine C, even if we
combine information from other statements.
So (a) and (b) together are sufficient to answer the question.
Answer: c)
4). We can have p = 0.45, and q = 0.41. here p>q

We can also have p = 0.45,and q = 10. Here p<q
So, we cant determine using both statements if p>q.
Answer: e)
5). Using (A), we can have ‘p’ as 2/4/6/8 etc. we cant determine remainder when divided
by 3.
Using (B), we can have ‘p’ as 1/4/9/16 etc. we cant determine remainder when divided
by 3.
Using both ‘p’ is the square of an even number. So ‘p’ can be 4/16/36 etc.
We see that remainder can again be 1/0 (4/16 leave remainder 1, 36 remainder 0).
www.bankingpdf.com
So, we cant determine using both statements.
Answer: e)
6). 2xI – II  6x – 5z = 12(IV)

IV – III  x – z = 1 or x = z + 1
Substituting in III, we get x = 7, z = 6
Putting x = 7 in I, we get y = 9
Hence x < y > z
Answer: c)
7). From II, y = 2.8

Putting in I, we get 2x + 14 = 19.6
= 2x = 5.6 or x = 2.8
Putting x = 2.8 in III, we get 28 – 7z = 8.4
= 7z = 19.6 or z = 2.8
Hence x = y = z
Answer: e)
8). III – 2xI  3y + 6x = 28.5 or 2y + 4x = 19(IV)

II – IV  x = 3.5
Putting in I, z – 10.5 = -6
Z = 4.5
Putting in II, 17.5 + 2y = 22.5
Y = 2.5
Hence x > y < z
Answer: d)
9). From II, 3y = -2z + 15
www.bankingpdf.com
From III, x = 3z -4
Putting in I, 3z – 4 – 2z + 15 – 7z = -7
 -6z + 11 = -7
z=3
Substituting in II and III, we get
x = 5, y =3
hence x > y = z
Answer: a)
10). From I, (x-7) (x-4) = 0

x = 7,4
From II, (y-4) (y-3) = 0
y = 4, 3
From III, (z-3) (z-1) = 0
z = 3, 1
hence x ≥ y ≥ z

Solution:
1). words starting with E = 4! = 24
words starting with I = 4! = 24
words starting with LE = 3! = 6
words starting with LIE = 2! = 2, LIO = 2! = 2
the first word with starting with LIV will be LIVEO
so rank = 24 + 24 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 59

Answer: d)
2). 125% C.P. of sugar per kg = Rs. 4.25

C.P of the sugar per kg = [4.25×100] / 125 = Rs. 3.40.
thus, the profit on 1 kg 85 paise
by reducing price to 5 paise, to make same profit he must sell, 85/5 = 17kg
so required ratio = 1 : 17.
Answer: d)
3). work finished by 33 days = 33×117×8 = 30888 man hours

4/7th of the job is finished.
remaining work = 1-(4/7) = 3/7
if 4/7th of the work is 30888 hours, then 3/7th of the work = [30888 × (3/7)] / (4/7) =
23166 man hours
number of men required to finish 23166 man hours of work in 13 days, each now
working 9 hours a day = 23166 = (no of man) × 13 × 9
number of men = 198
since, 117 men are already working, additional men required = 198 – 117 = 81
Answer: c)
4). LCM = 45× HCF

LCM + HCF = 46× HCF = 1150
HCF = 25, LCM =1125.
product of 2 numbers = LCM×HCF
required number = (25× 1125) / 125 = 225.
Answer: d)
5). Let number of students be X.
www.bankingpdf.com
so, total Pencils = 7X + 3
7X + 3 = (7+2) (X-3)
or., 7X + 3 = 9X – 27
or X = 15
total Pencils = 7X + 3 = 108
Answer: e)
6). let P be the principal

160% of P amount means (1.6-1)P = 0.6P is the simple interest in 5 years
so, 0.6P = (P×5×R) / 100
or R = 12%
now we have to find time ‘n’ such that:
P(1+0.12)n = 2P
or 1.12n = 2
first we note that, time on compound interest will always be less than that of simple
interest.
at 12% simple interest, time to double will be 100/12 = 8.3 years.
so the correct answer must be less than 8 years.
so, we choose 7 as the answer from the options
also : 1 .127 = 2.21
Answer: a)
7). portion of the tank filled by the pipe A in 1 hour = ½ of the tank
let the portion of the tank emptied because of the leak in 1 hour be 1/x of the tank
therefore, in 1 hour , portion of the tank filled = 1/2 - 1/x
because of the leak, total time taken to fill the tank = 2.5 hours
therefore, portion of the tank filled in 1 hour when the pipe is open and when it is leaking
= 1/(2.5)
therefore,1/2 - 1/x = 1/2.5 or x = 10
www.bankingpdf.com
hence, it takes 10 hours to empty a full tank
Answer: e)
8). Four years ago, sum of all the family members age = 4× 40 = 160
three years ago, sum of all the family members age = 164 + 23 = 187
last year, sum = 197 (187 + 5 + 5)
two years from now, sum = 197 + 18 = 215
hence, average = 215/6 = 35.8
Answer: e)
9). Let current age of Ram and his son be R,S

(R + 10) = 3(S + 10) [2 times older = 3 times the age]
R = 3S + 20
(R - 5) = 9(S - 5)
3S + 20 – 5= 9S – 45
3S + 15 = 9S – 45
or S = 10., R = 50
sum of ages 3 years from now = 10 + 3 + 50 + 3 = 66.
Answer: b)
10). let marked price be 100.

SP with 10%, 20% = 80% of (90% of 100) = 72.
profit = 20%
so CP = 72/1.20 = Rs. 60
by offering a flat discount of 30%, sales price = 70% of 100 = 70
profit = (70 - 60) ×100 / 60 = 16.67%
