Solutions:
S1. Ans. (b)
Sol. Ram : Shyam : Sohan = 49 : 119 : 289
S2. Ans. (b);
Sol.
=Rs. 5000
S3. Ans. (d)
Sol.
Total age of ram + 2 children = 17 × 3 = 51 year
Total age of both the children = 51- 33 = 18 yr
Total age of ram’s wife + both the children = 16 × 3 = 48 yr
Required age of Ram’s wife = 48 – 18 = 30 yr
S4. Ans, (c)
Sol.
Let the initial average of age = x
Let the retired teacher’s age = T
∴ 10x – T + 25 = 10 (x – 3)
10x – T + 25 = 10x – 30
-T + 25 = -30
T = 55
S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. Direct formula , D = (〖P.r〗^2 (300+r))/〖(100)〗^3 = 305
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol.
S7. Ans. (a)
Sol. Successive discount of 5% = 9.75%
9.75% of 80 = 7.8
So, S.P. = 80 – 7.8 = 72.2 Rs.
S8. Ans. (b)
Sol. successive discount of 20%, 15%, 10% = 38.8%
& successive discount of 25%, 12%, 8% = 39.28%
clearly seen, (2) deal is better.
S9. Ans. (d)
Sol.
B G
31 : 23
124 : 107
75 girl – add., but boys remain same.
So, 31 × 4 = 124
124 : 92
124 : 107
15 Ratio = 75
1 Ratio = 5
Diff. = 124-107
So, Req. No. = 17 × 5 = 85
S10. Ans. (b)
Sol. x + y = 7 (x-y) or 6x – 8y = 0 _______(i)
x + 5 + y + 5 = 9 (x – y)
8x-10y = 10 _________ (ii)
After solving (i) & (ii)
x = 20 year
y = 15 year
