9000
9400
9600
9800
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Greatest number of 4-digits is 9999.

L.C.M. of 15, 25, 40 and 75 is 600.

On dividing 9999 by 600, the remainder is 399.

Required number (9999 - 399) = 9600.

If a = 0.1039, then the value of 4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a is:

0.1039
0.2078
1.1039
2.1039
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

4a2 - 4a + 1 + 3a = (1)2 + (2a)2 - 2 x 1 x 2a + 3a

   = (1 - 2a)2 + 3a

   = (1 - 2a) + 3a

   = (1 + a)

   = (1 + 0.1039)

   = 1.1039


4.
The product of two numbers is 9375 and the quotient, when the larger one is divided by the smaller, is 15. The sum of the numbers is:

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

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, xy = 9375 and x = 15.
y

xy = 9375
(x/y) 15

y2 = 625.

y = 25.

x = 15y = (15 x 25) = 375.

Sum of the numbers = x + y = 375 + 25 = 400.

24
27
40
Cannot be determined
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the present ages of Sameer and Anand be 5x years and 4x years respectively.

Then, 5x + 3 = 11
4x + 3 9

9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)

45x + 27 = 44x + 33

45x - 44x = 33 - 27

x = 6.

Anand's present age = 4x = 24 years.

What is the length of a running train?

I. 

The train crosses a man in 9 seconds.

 II. 

The train crosses a 240 metre long platform in 24 seconds.

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:

Time taken by train to cross a man = Length of train       Speed = l ....(i)
Speed of train 9

Time taken by train
to cross a platform =
(Length of train +
Length of platform)
     Speed = l + 240 ....(ii)
Speed of train 24

From (i) and (ii), we get l = l + 240 .
9 24

Thus, l can be obtained. So both I and II are necessary to get the answer.

The correct answer is (E).


Direction (Q.No. 11)

Each of these questions is followed by three statements. You have to study the question and all the three statements given to decide whether any information provided in the statement(s) is redundant and can be dispensed with while answering the given question.

11.

At what time will the train reach city X from city Y?

I. 

The train crosses another train of equal length of 200 metres and running in opposite directions in 15 seconds.

II. 

The train leaves city Y at 7.15 a.m. for city X situated at a distance of 558 km.

 III. 

The 200 metres long train crosses a signal pole in 10 seconds.

I only
II only
III only
II and III only
All I, II and III are required.
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

From the statement I, we get length of the train is 200 metres (Redundant info while comparing with Statement III). The rest of the info given in this statement cannot be used for calculating the speed of the train, because the two trains might run at different speed.

III gives, speed = 200 m/sec = 20 m/sec = 20 x 18 km/hr = 72 km/hr.
10 5

II gives, time taken = 558 hrs = 31 hrs = 7 3 hrs = 7 hrs 45 min.
72 4 4

So, the train will reach city X at 3 p.m.

Hence II and III only gives the answer.


Direction (Q.No. 12)

Each of the questions given below consists of a question followed by three statements. You have to study the question and the statements and decide which of the statement(s) is/are necessary to answer the question.

12.

What is the speed of the boat in still water?

I. 

The speed downstream is 12 kmph.

II. 

The speed upstream is 4 kmph.

 III. 

In a to and fro journey between two points, the average speed of the boat was 6 kmph.

I and II only
All I, II and III
III, and either I or II
Any two of the three
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

From I and II, speed of boat in still water = 1 (12 + 4) km/hr = 8 km/hr.
2

From II and III, we get:

Using average speed = 2xy , we get: 2 x 4 x y = 6
x + y 4 + y

8y = 24 + 6y

y = 12.

Required speed = 1 (12 + 4) km/hr = 8 km/hr.
2

Similarly, I and III also give the answer.

Correct answer is (D).

Mr. Thomas 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?
Rs. 6400
Rs. 6500
Rs. 7200
Rs. 7500
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
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 + (13900 - x) x 11 x 2 = 3508
100 100

28x - 22x = 350800 - (13900 x 22)

6x = 45000

x = 7500.

So, sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. (13900 - 7500) = Rs. 6400.

The true discount on a bill due 9 months hence at 16% per annum is Rs. 189. The amount of the bill is:
Rs. 1386
Rs. 1764
Rs. 1575
Rs. 2268
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let P.W. be Rs. x.

Then, S.I. on Rs. x at 16% for 9 months = Rs. 189.

x x 16 x 9 x 1 = 189 or x = 1575.
12 100

P.W. = Rs. 1575.

Sum due = P.W. + T.D. = Rs. (1575 + 189) = Rs. 1764.
