Let there be 120 units of work to be done, Aaron, Betsy and Caleb can complete 5, 4 and
3 units of work in a day respectively. Caleb left midway i.e. 60 units of work was
completed by 3 of them together. Therefore, work done in one day = (5+4+3)=12units.
Had Caleb worked for whole 12 days then the total work done would have been 144units.
Which 24units more than required and Caleb takes 8 days(24/3) to do 24units of work.
Thus, Caleb left after 4(12-8) days.

Distance travelled by Raj in 2nd half hour=11.25km,reduced speed=20.25km/h
Distance travelled in 1st hour =38.75km
Distance travelled by Ram in next half hour=8.25km
Distance travelled by Raj in next half hour =10.125km, reduced speed=18.225km/h
Distance travelled till now=57.125, remaining distance before 1 st meet=8.875 km
Now, the relative speed for next half hour=34.725km/h

Time required to cover the remaining distance =8.875/34.725=0.256hrs
Distance covered by ram in 0.256 hrs=4.224km

Dairy farm owner sells 40L of 80% milk solution to the wholesaler. The wholesaler
replaces 10L of this solution with mineral water, thus changing the milk concentration to
60% and sells to the shopkeeper. Taking the weighted average of the 50L solution at the

Volume of the sample tested by lab P: 375 + 4x
Volume of the sample tested by lab Q: 375 – x
Report given by lab P is 3 : 4 :7 and the report given by lab Q is 9 : 12 : 16
Suppose volumes of liquid A, liquid B and water in the sample reached to lab P are 9a, 12a
and 21a respectively. Sample sent to lab Q has same volume of liquid A and liquid
B. Therefore volume of liquid A and liquid B in the sample sent to lab Q is also 9a and
12a respectively. The liquid A, liquid B and water in the sample sent to lab Q are in the
ratio 9 : 12 : 16. Therefore volume of water in the sample reached to lab Q = 16a
Lab Liquid A Liquid B Water Volume

P 9a 12a 21a 375+4x
Q 9a 12a 16a 375-x
From the table, we can see that 5a = 5x or a = x.
In order to calculate the ratio of the three in original sample, we need to add water with
volume ‘a’ to the sample sent to lab Q.
Therefore, the volume of liquid A, liquid B and water will become 9a, 12a and 17a or the
required ratio will be 9 : 12 : 17

The total number of test-tubes with Lisbon remained the same after the exchange.
Also, net increase in the sum of lengths of test-tubes with Lisbon = (8– 5)a= 3a
Increase in average length of test-tubes with Lisbon = 1.5 × 20 = 30
therefore, 3a = 30 => a = 10
53. B.3:8
Let his age be X, X – A =0.6(X+A) => X = 4A
X+B= 5(X – B) => 4X= 6B. Hence, A:B = 3:8

55. C.30
As Abish and Kenny move towards each other, relative speed=12+9=21m/s
Kenny and Kannan move in one direction. So, relative speed=s-9
Note that in order to maintain the distance as per the condition, Kanna’s speed has to be
more than Kenny’s. Also, relative speed between Abish and Kenny must b e equal to the
relative speed between kannan and Kenny. Therefore, 21=s- 9 =>s=30

Let the original quantity be x, therefore cost price is 42x and selling price is (x+10.67+x)45.
The profit earned is 30% =>1.3(42x))=45 (10.67 +x)………………..Thus, we get x=50.
59. B.50 loss

let cost price for Shin be X, so his selling price is X+50. Now, cost price for Kai is X+50 and

selling 2price is X+100. Thus, Shin incurs a loss of 100 and earns a profit of 50, hence total
loss of Rs.50.

Let the number of pages written by Erza be 100 and the no of pages written on next

to 1.4(100) i.e. 400 + 4x=5(140) => x=75 which means Erza writes 75% new content in

let the capacity of the jar be X. (0.8 x (0.9 x X)) was emptied i.e. the contents remaining in

67. B.35.75
Suppose original employees strength was x.So total age of all employees at the beginning
= 40x. Total age of all employees after 4 years= 44x – 5 × 60 – 2 × 42 – 2 × 43 = 44x – 470.
Total age of all employees after another two years = 44x – 470 + 2x(x – 9). After 2 years,
when 10 employees join, total age of all employees= 44x – 470 + 2 × (x – 9) + 240 = 38(x
+ 1). On solving we get x = 35.75.

Let the distance between any two stations be x kms. lewt the speed of the Trivandrum
passenger be y kmph. then the speed of the Trivandrum express will be 2y kmph. The
total distance travelled by the trivandrum Express will 2x kms while for trivandrum
passenger it will 3x kms. As trivandrum express takes 2 hrs to reach trivandrum, we have
2x/2y=2 which gives x/y = 2. Thus, 3x/y=6. Thus, trivandrum Passenger will reach TC at
8+6=14 =2pm

Let the initial number of the students be 100, therefore increased number of students is
120. Let the fee amount be x, so total fee collected the previous year is 100x. considering
the number of SC students to be y, we get (120 – y)1.25x = 100x. Solving this we get y=40.
Thus the ratio is 2:1.

3(a+s)+4(s+l)+3(a+l)=1 => 6a+7s+7l=1
s+l=1/14 => 6a+1/2=1 => a=1/12  a+s+l = (1/12) + (1/14) = 13/84.
Therefore, days required to build the ship when 3 of them work together without

76. A.37.5
Let cost price be C and selling price be S. Therefore, 60S=60C+45C =105C => S=7C/4. Now,
cost for 77 books with 21 free books is 98C=56s, selling price is 77S. Thus, Profit =(77 –
56)S =21S and profit%=(21S/56S)x100=37.5%.

Suppose x = speed of the train and y = speed of Robin
The relative speed of the train going from Saobody to Arlong park w.r.t Robin= x – y
The relative speed of the train going from Arlong park to Saobody w.r.t Robin= x + y
If Robin is stationary at a point, relative speed of the train w.r.t her = x
Suppose‘t’ is the time interval between two consecutive trains.
We can see that speeds (x – y), x and (x + y) are in AP.
Therefore times 16, t and 9 should be in HP

Total time taken by Mohan to reach the temple=1hr
The dog continuously runs for one hour. Therefore the total distance run by the dog = 8 x 1=
8 km.
The temple is at a distance of 4 km from the home. Therefore the dog finds himself at a point
4 km
away after having run 8 km. This is possible only if the dog runs additional 2 km in the
direction
towards the temple and 2 km in the backward direction i.e. Therefore the total distance run
by the dog in the direction towards the temple = 4 + 2 = 6 km.

79. C..3:5:4
Let the speed of Luke, Alex and Manny be x/18, x/15 and x/8. Now, as the distance
covered by Luke, Alex and Manny by 6 steps, 3 steps and 2 steps respectively, are
same. Thus, the ratio of speeds are 6/(x/18) : 3/(x/15) : 2/(x/8) = 3:5:4.

Therefore, the volume of solution B be(12 – V) litres.
Let the concentration of solutions A and B be 5x and 3x respectively.
Therefore, (5x)(V – 3) = (3x)(12 – V)
5V – 15 = 36 – 3V
Therefore, V = 6.375 litres
Required Ratio = V : (12 – V) = 17 : 15

pipe fills 3 units in a minute, when both of the pipes are on then they fill 5units per
minute. Therefore, it will 6 minutes to completely fill the bath. Both pipes were kept

As both of them barely escape we can safely assume that the train was coming from the
direction of the nearer end of the tunnel. Now, Salvatore escapes the tunnel in 20s and
Joseph escapes the tunnel in 30s. Therefore, the train is at the entrance of the tunnel in
20s and it covers 500m in the remaining 10s, which means the speed of the train is 50
m/s.
93. D.20:9
Let initial ratio be 6z : 7z : 9z after addition of x and y the ratio becomes
6z+y : 7z : 9z+x = 8 : 6: 9. Now, 6z+y: 7z=8 : 6 => 10z/3=y and 7z : 9z+x = 6: 9 => x=3z/2.
94. A.210km
let bird be on 30km/hr train. Relative speed of train and bird is 140km/hr.210km is
covered in 1.5hrs, in this the distance between the trains has reduced to 105km. Now,
the relative speed of bird w.r.t 2nd train is 130km/hr and the bird covers the difference

between the trains in 0.807hrs at the same time the difference between the trains
reduces to 48.5km. Now gain the relative speed of bird and 1 st train is 140km/hr and it
covers the difference between the trains in 0.35 hrs in which time the distance between
the reduces to 24km, and continuing this we get the forward distance travelled by the
bird as 210km.
95. B.66cm/s
Let the no of revolutions be x. We get the relative speed as 198cm/s and the distance
covered by the wheels in one revolution as 22cm and 44cm respectively. Therefore, the
speed of the wheels are 22x and 44x which is 22x+44x=198 => x=3. Thus, speed of the
smaller wheel =22x= 66cm/s.

reaches B in 13.33s and Shyam reaches A in 30s. By 30s Ram has reached B has started
walking towards B and covers 100m by the time Shyam started to turn back. Now, the
distance between them is 100m and the relative speed is 10m/s. But this time Shyam is
walking from B, their 2nd meeting is 40m away from Ram’s initial position.
