Answers
(1) 31

Step 1
If you notice the numbers in this series, you will find that the difference between successive terms
is increasing by 1,
6-4=2
9-6=3
13 - 9 = 4
18 - 13 = 5
24 - 18 = 6

Step 2
Therefore, the difference between 24 and the next term should be 7.

Step 3
So, next term = 24 + 7= 31

(2) 20 km

Step 1
If Usha starts from the black dot shown in the picture, her path will be as follows,

Step 2
It is clear from this path that she will be at a distance of 20 km from the starting point.

(3) y=8

Step 1
Let us simplify the LHS and RHS of the equation:
3y - 5 -2y -3y + 21
- =
-5 5 5
(-1)(3y - 5) - (1)( -2y) -3y + 21
⇒ =
5 5
(-1)(3y - 5) -1( -2y) -3y + 21
⇒ =
5 5

Step 2
Since, the denominator of both LHS and RHS is same, we can multiply both sides by 5 to get the
following equation:
(-1)(3y - 5) -1( -2y) = -3y + 21
⇒ -3y + 5 + 2y = -3y + 21
⇒ -y + 5 = -3y + 21
⇒ -y + 3y = 21 - 5
⇒ 2y = 16
⇒y=8

Step 3
Therefore, the value of y is 8.

(4) 360

Step 1
Let us assume x as the number of brochures which have same price for both the styles.

Step 2
Since, the price of style 1 is Rs. 146 plus Rs. 0.15 per brochure, the price for x brochures of style
1 = 146 + 0.15x

Step 3
Similarly, the price of style 2 is Rs. 20 plus Rs. 0.5 per brochure. Therefore, the price for x
brochures of style 2 = 20 + 0.5x

Step 4
Since, the price of x brochures for both the styles is same,
20 + 0.5x = 146 + 0.15x
⇒ 0.5x - 0.15x = 146 - 20
⇒ 0.35x = 126
126
⇒x= = 360
0.35

Step 5
Thus, the price will be the same for both the styles, if 360 brochures are printed.

(5) 147 m2

Step 1
The given figure is a rectangle, where the length is 18m and the breadth is 14m.

Step 2
There are 4 rectangles unshaded at the corners of the figure. If we find their area and subtract
from the area of whole rectangle, we'll get the area of the shaded portion.

Step 3
The shaded length is 3m, therefore the length of the unshaded area will be 18 - 3 = 15m. Since the
15
shaded length lies at the center, we can say that the length of the rectangles at the corners is
2
= 7.5m each.

Step 4
The shaded breadth is 7m, therefore the unshaded breadth will be 14 - 7 = 7m. Again, since the
7
breadth lies at the center, we can say that the breadth of the corner rectangles will be = 3.5m
2

Step 5
We now have four unshaded rectangles of length 7.5m and breadth 3.5m. The area of one such
rectangle will be 7.5 × 3.5 = 26.25 sq. m.

Step 6
Therefore the area of four such rectangles will be 4 × 26.25 = 105 sq. m.

Step 7
The area of the big rectangle = 18 × 14 = 252 sq. m.

Step 8
Therefore the area of the shaded portion = 252 - 105 = 147 sq. m.

(6) 11 %
9

Step 1
We have been told that x is 10% less than y. This statement can be written as:
10
x = y - (y × )
100

Step 2
The above equation tells us how to calculate x in terms of y. Let us simplify the above equation
and rearrange it so that it tells us how to write y in terms of x. The above equation implies:
y
x=y- ,

1
which implies, x = y(1 - )
10
10 - 1
which implies, x = y( )
10
9y
which implies, x =
10
10x
which implies, y =
9

Step 3
Now, let us try to rewrite the right hand side of the above equation as "x - something". This can be
done by adding (x - x) to the right hand side. We can do that because (x - x) is zero. Our equation
now becomes:
10x
y=x-x+
9
10x
which implies, y = x - (x - )
9
9x - 10x
which implies, y = x -
9
x
which implies, y = x - (- )
9
x
which implies, y = x +
9

Step 4
1
Looking at the equation above, now we know that: "y is more than x by a factor of ".
9

Step 5
To convert a factor into percentage, we need to multiply the factor by 100. This means, following
two statements mean the same:
1
"y is more than x by a factor of ".
9
AND
100
"y is more than x by percent."
9

Step 6
If we write the percentage we just found as a mixed fraction, we can say that:
1
"y is more than x by 11 %"
9

(7) Father

Step 1
Pointing towards a man playing tennis, Vinayak says, 'His son is my son's uncle'.

Step 2
Or, we can say that the man's son is the brother of Vinayak.

Step 3
Or, we can say that the man is the father of Vinayak.

Step 4
Therefore, the man is the father of Vinayak.

(8) Rectangle

Step 1
The shape of the complete figure after adding the mirror image is :

Step 2
Hence, we get a Rectangle after adding the mirror image.

(9) 15% loss

Step 1
We are given that the ratio of two variants of rice is 1:3. Let us assume that the shopkeeper bought
p and 3p kgs of the two variants, respectively.

Step 2
Here,
Cost Price, CP = (p × 40) + (3p × 32) = 136p
Selling Price, SP = (p + 3p) × 28.9 = 115.6p

Step 3
We know, Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
= 136p - 115.6p
= 20.4p

Step 4
Loss
Loss % = ( × 100)
CP
20.4p
=( × 100)
136p
= 15

Step 5
Therefore, the shopkeeper incurred the loss of 15%.

(10) 13 kg

Step 1

Let us assume that l, w and h are the length, width and height of the cuboid, respectively.
According to the question, the size of the cuboid is 15 cm × 5 cm × 15 cm.
Therefore, l = 15 cm,
w = 5 cm, and
h = 15 cm

Step 2

Volume of a cuboid = lwh cm3

So, the volume of the cuboid of size 15 cm × 5 cm × 15 cm = 15 × 5 × 15 = 1125 cm 3,
The volume of an another cuboid of size 5 cm × 13 cm × 15 cm = 5 × 13 × 15 = 975 cm 3

Step 3
Since, the weight of the cuboid of size 15 cm × 5 cm × 15 cm is 15 kg, we can say that the weight
of the cuboid of volume 1125 cm3 is 15 kg.
15
Weight of the cuboid of volume 1 cm3 = kg
1125
15
Thus, the weight of the cuboid of volume 975 cm3 = × 975
1125
= 13 kg

Step 4
Hence, the weight of an another cuboid of the same material with the size 5 cm × 13 cm × 15 cm
is 13 kg.

(11) 20

Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we notice that the average of the numbers 46, 48, 50 and x is
41. We have to find out the value of x from the numbers.

Step 2
Total numbers (46, 48, 50, and x) = 4
46 + 48 + 50 + x
So, the average of the numbers = = 41 [Since, the average of numbers is 41]
4
144 + x
⇒ = 41
4
⇒ 144 + x = 41 × 4
⇒ x = 164 - 144
⇒ x = 20

Step 3
Therefore the value of x is 20.

(12) 14 years

Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we notice that the ratio of Vinayak's and Meenakshi's ages is
2:7.

Step 2
Let us suppose that the age of Vinayak is 2x, then the age of Meenakshi is 7x.

Step 3
Since, the sum of their ages is 63 years, therefore 2x + 7x = 63
9x = 63
63
x=
9
x=7

Step 4
Thus, the age of Meenakshi = 2x
= 2 × 7 [Put x = 7]
= 14 years

Step 1
Following triangles are there in this figure

Step 2
Therefore there are 10 triangles in this figure

(14) c.

Step 1
USA and Australia are two different country in the world. If we look at the diagrams carefully, we
notice that 'World' is denoted by the largest circle. Since. USA and Australia are two different
country in the world, they are denoted by two separate circles inside the largest circle. Thus, the
correct diagram which shows the relationship between World, USA, and Australia is:

Step 2
Hence, option c is the correct answer.

(15) c. 6 ÷ z

Step 1
If we look at the question carefully, we will notice that the value of z lies between 0 and 1.

Step 2
Let us assume that the value of z is 0.5 (between 0 and 1).
By putting the value of z in 6 ÷ z, we will notice:
6 ÷ z = 6 ÷ 0.5
= 6/0.5
= (6 × 10)/5
= 12
This way, we can find out the value of all the options and will notice that the value of 6 ÷ z is the
greatest. Hence, we can say that 6 ÷ z have the greatest value.

Step 3
Thus, option c is the correct answer.
