1.
The price of commodity X increases by 40 paise every year, while the price of commodity Y increases by 15 paise every year. If in 2001, the price of commodity X was Rs. 4.20 and that of Y was Rs. 6.30, in which year commodity X will cost 40 paise more than the commodity Y ?
2010
2011
2012
2013
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Suppose commodity X will cost 40 paise more than Y after z years.

Then, (4.20 + 0.40z) - (6.30 + 0.15z) = 0.40

0.25z = 0.40 + 2.10

z = 2.50 = 250 = 10.
0.25 25

X will cost 40 paise more than Y 10 years after 2001 i.e., 2011.

Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

2ab = (a2 + b2) - (a - b)2

   = 29 - 9 = 20

   ab = 10.


3.
There are two examinations rooms A and B. If 10 students are sent from A to B, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from B to A, then the number of students in A is double the number of students in B. The number of students in room A is:
20
80
100
200
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively.

Then, x - 10 = y + 10      x - y = 20 .... (i)

     and x + 20 = 2(y - 20)      x - 2y = -60 .... (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.

The required answer A = 100.

The product of two numbers is 120 and the sum of their squares is 289. The sum of the number is:
20
23
169
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, xy = 120 and x2 + y2 = 289.

(x + y)2 = x2 + y2 + 2xy = 289 + (2 x 120) = 529

x + y = 529 = 23.


5.
The salaries A, B, C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If the increments of 15%, 10% and 20% are allowed respectively in their salaries, then what will be new ratio of their salaries?
3 : 3 : 10
10 : 11 : 20
23 : 33 : 60
Cannot be determined
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let A = 2k, B = 3k and C = 5k.

A's new salary = 115 of 2k = 115 x 2k = 23k
100 100 10

B's new salary = 110 of 3k = 110 x 3k = 33k
100 100 10

C's new salary = 120 of 5k = 120 x 5k = 6k
100 100

New ratio 23k : 33k : 6k = 23 : 33 : 60
10 10


6.
A and B entered into partnership with capitals in the ratio 4 : 5. After 3 months, A withdrew of his capital and B withdrew of his capital. The gain at the end of 10 months was Rs. 760. A's share in this profit is:
Rs. 330
Rs. 360
Rs. 380
Rs. 430
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

A : B = 4x x 3 + 4x - 1 x 4x x 7 : 5x x 3 + 5x - 1 x 5x x 7
4 5

   = (12x + 21x) : (15x + 28x)

   = 33x :43x

   = 33 : 43.

A's share = Rs. 760 x 33 = Rs. 330.

I. 

Q started business investing Rs. 80,000.

II. 

R joined him after 3 months.

 III. 

P joined after 4 months with a capital of Rs. 1,20,000 and got Rs. 6000 as his share profit.

All I, II and III
I and III only
II and III only
Even with all I, II and III, the answer cannot be arrived at
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

From I, II and III, we get P : Q : R = (120000 x 8) : (80000 x 12) : (x x 9).

Since R's investment is not given, the above ratio cannot be give.

Given data is inadequate.

A alone can do a piece of work in 6 days and B alone in 8 days. A and B undertook to do it for Rs. 3200. With the help of C, they completed the work in 3 days. How much is to be paid to C?
Rs. 375
Rs. 400
Rs. 600
Rs. 800
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

C's 1 day's work = 1 - 1 + 1 = 1 - 7 = 1 .
3 6 8 3 24 24

A's wages : B's wages : C's wages = 1 : 1 : 1 = 4 : 3 : 1.
6 8 24

C's share (for 3 days) = Rs. 3 x 1 x 3200 = Rs. 400.

A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?
230 m
240 m
260 m
270 m
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed = 72 x 5 m/sec = 20 m/sec.
18

Time = 26 sec.

Let the length of the train be x metres.

Then, x + 250 = 20
26

x + 250 = 520

x = 270.

An error 2% in excess is made while measuring the side of a square. The percentage of error in the calculated area of the square is:
2%
2.02%
4%
4.04%
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

100 cm is read as 102 cm.

A1 = (100 x 100) cm2 and A2 (102 x 102) cm2.

(A2 - A1) = [(102)2 - (100)2]

= (102 + 100) x (102 - 100)

= 404 cm2.

Percentage error = 404 x 100 % = 4.04%

In a shower, 5 cm of rain falls. The volume of water that falls on 1.5 hectares of ground is:
75 cu. m
750 cu. m
7500 cu. m
75000 cu. m
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

1 hectare = 10,000 m2

So, Area = (1.5 x 10000) m2 = 15000 m2.

Depth = 5 m = 1 m.
100 20

Volume = (Area x Depth) = 15000 x 1 m3 = 750 m3.

What is the volume of a cube?

I. 

The area of each face of the cube is 64 square metres.

 II. 

The length of one side of the cube is 8 metres.

I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
Both I and II are necessary to answer
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let each edge be a metres. Then,

I. a2 = 64       a = 8 m       Volume = (8 x 8 x 8) m3 = 512 m3.

Thus, I alone gives the answer.

II. a = 8 m       Volume = (8 x 8 x 8) m3 = 512 m3.

Thus, II alone gives the answer.

Correct answer is (C).

Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

At 4 o'clock, the hands of the watch are 20 min. spaces apart.

To be in opposite directions, they must be 30 min. spaces apart.

Minute hand will have to gain 50 min. spaces.

55 min. spaces are gained in 60 min.

50 min. spaces are gained in 60 x 50 min. or 54 6 min.

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'DETAIL' be arranged in such a way that the vowels occupy only the odd positions?
32
48
36
60
120
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

There are 6 letters in the given word, out of which there are 3 vowels and 3 consonants.

Let us mark these positions as under:

(1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6)

Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places, marked 1, 3, 5.

Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 3P3 = 3! = 6.

Also, the 3 consonants can be arranged at the remaining 3 positions.

Number of ways of these arrangements = 3P3 = 3! = 6.

Total number of ways = (6 x 6) = 36.

Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Clearly, n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36.

Let E = Event that the sum is a prime number.

Then E = { (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 1), (4, 3),
      (5, 2), (5, 6), (6, 1), (6, 5) }

n(E) = 15.

P(E) = n(E) = 15 = 5 .
n(S) 36 12

An observer 1.6 m tall is 203 away from a tower. The angle of elevation from his eye to the top of the tower is 30°. The height of the tower is:
21.6 m
23.2 m
24.72 m
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let AB be the observer and CD be the tower.

Draw BE CD.

Then, CE = AB = 1.6 m,

      BE = AC = 203 m.

DE = tan 30° = 1
BE 3

DE = 203 m = 20 m.
3

CD = CE + DE = (1.6 + 20) m = 21.6 m.
