Explanations:

1. P's 1 days' work) : (Q's 1 days' work) = 3 : 1

1
(P + Q)'s = 1 days work =
24

1
Divide in the ratio 3 : 1
24

1 3 1
P's 1 day's work = [24 × 4] ⇒ 32.
Hence, P alone can finish the work in 32 days.

Hence, option C is correct.

2. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

If A and B together can do a piece of work in x day and A alone can do it in y days, then B alone
xy
can do the work in days.
y–x

Given:

A and B together finish a piece of work = x = 4 days

A alone finish a piece of work = y = 12 days.

By the short trick approach:

B alone can do the whole work in

4 × 12 48
= = 6 days
12 – 4 8

Hence, option E is correct.

3.
1
6 Women's 1 day's work = ;
10

1
10 Children's 1 day's work = ;
15

(6 women + 10 children)'s 1 day's work

1 1 5 1
= (10 + 15) = 30 = 6.
∴ 6 women and 10 children will complete the work in 6 days.

Hence, option C is correct.

4. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

If A, B and C can do a work in x, y and z days respectively then all of them working together

xyz
can finish the work in (xy + yz + zx )days
Given:

Time taken by Salim = x = 8 days

Time taken by Manoj = y = 12 days

8
Time taken by Raj (Twice as fast as Salim) = z = 2 = 4 days

By the short trick approach:

8 × 12 × 4
A, B and C can do the work in =
8 × 12 + 12 × 4 + 4 × 8

48
After taking 8 as a common term we get,=
12 + 6 + 4

48 24 2
= = = 2 days
22 11 11

Hence, option E is correct.

5. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

If A and B together can do a piece of work in x day and A alone can do it in y days, then B alone
xy
can do the work in days.
y–x

Given:

Time taken by A and B together to finish a piece of work = x = 9 days

Time taken by A alone to finish the same piece of work = y = 12 days.

By the short trick approach:

B alone can do the whole work in

12 × 9 108
= = 36 days
12 – 9 3

Hence, option D is correct.

6. 1 woman's 1 day's work

1 1
= = ;
12 × 18 216

1 man's 1 day's work

1 1
= = ;
12 × 9 108

(8 men + 8 women)'s 1 day's work

8 8 2 1 3 1
= (108 + 216) = (27 + 27) = 27 = 9.
∴ 8 men and 8 women will complete the work in 9 days.

Hence, option A is correct.

7. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

If A and B can do a piece of work in x days, B and C in y days, C and A in z days, then 'C' working alone
will do the same work in

2xyz
[xy + zx – yz ]days.
A and B together finish a piece work = x = 20 days

B and C together finish a piece work = y = 30 days

C and A together finish a piece work = z = 40 days

By the short trick approach: C can do the work in

2 × 20 × 30 × 40
= days
20 × 30 + 40 × 20 – 30 × 40

After taking 20 as a common term we get,

2 × 30 × 40 60 × 40
= = = 240 days
30 + 40 – 60 10

'A' working alone will do the same work in

2xyz
[
xy + yz – zx ]
days

A can do the work in

2 × 20 × 30 × 40
= days
20 × 30 + 30 × 40 – 40 × 20

After taking 20 as a common term we get,

2 × 30 × 40 60 × 40
= = = 48 days.
30 + 60 – 40 50

So, the ratio between A and C will be:

48 : 240 = 1 : 5

Hence, option D is correct.

8. From the given information,

(8 × 4) Girls ≡ (9 × 3) Boys ≡ (7 × 2)Men ≡ (5 × 4)Women

∴ 32 Girls ≡ 27 Boys ≡ 14 Men ≡ 20 Women

Hence Girls have minimum capacity of work among them.

Hence, option B is correct.

9. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach

M1D1W2 = M2D2W1

Given,

M1 = 1, D1 = 10 mins, W2 = 1245

M2 = X, D1 = 2h + 30 mins = 150 mins, W1 = 1

By the short trick approach, we get

= 1 × 10 × 1245 = X × 150 × 1

1245 × 10

[xy + yz + zx] days

A and B together finish a piece work = x = 12 days

B and C together finish a piece work = y = 8 days

C and A together finish a piece work = z = 16 days

By the short trick approach:

2 × 12 × 8 × 16
A, B and C can do the work in = days
12 × 8 + 8 × 16 + 16 × 12

2 × 12 × 16

17. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

A and B do a piece of work in ‘a’ and ‘b’ days, respectively. Both begin together but after some days, A
leaves off and the remaining work is completed by B in ‘x’ days. Then, the time after which A left, is
given by

(b – x)a
T= .
a+b

Given that a = 45 days, b = 40 days, x = 23, T = ?

By the short trick approach, we get

xy + yz + zx

Where,

x is the work done by A and B together = 15 days

y is the work done by B and C together = 10 days

z is the work done by C and A together = 12 days

∴ Required ratio = 40 : 16 = 5 : 2

Hence, option B is correct.

40. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

If A and B can do a piece of work in x days, B and C in y days, C and A in z days, then (A + B + C) working
together will do the same work in

2xyz
[xy + yz + zx] days
Given:

A and B together finish a piece work = x = 20 days

B and C together finish a piece work = y = 10 days

C and A together finish a piece work = z = 12 days

By the short trick approach:

2 × 20 × 10 × 12
A, B and C can do the work in = days
20 × 10 + 10 × 12 + 12 × 20

10 × 12 120 4
After taking 40 as a common term we get,= days = = 8 days
5+3+6 14 7

Hence, option C is correct.

41. Approach I:
Time taken by A : Time taken by B and C together = 3 : 1
Therefore, 1 day's work done by A : 1 day's work done by B and C together = 1 : 3
[Because work done or efficiency is inversely proportional to time taken.]
We can further write the equation as
1 day's work done by A : 1 day's work done by A, B and C together = 1 : 4
Therefore, time taken by A : Time taken by A, B and C together = 4 : 1
Here we can observe that if A, B and C working together takes 1 day, A alone is taking 4 days which
means he is taking 4 times the time taken by A, B and C together.
Therefore, actual time taken by A alone = 4 × 24 = 96 days
Approach II:
Let 1 day's efficiency of each of the individuals is A, B and C respectively.
As per the given information, we get the efficiency equations as follows
3A = (B + C) ...(i)
A + B + C = 24 .....(ii)
Putting 3A in place of (B + C) in equation (ii), we get
A + 3A = 24
4A = 24
Now, 4A do the whole work in 24 days.
Therefore, A alone will do the whole work in 24 × 4 = 96 days.
Hence, option B is correct.
42.
1
A's 1 day's efficiency =
8
1
B's 1 day's efficiency = –
3
Let's assume A takes x more days to complete the work.
The equation will be like
(6 + x) 2
= – =1
8 3
(6 + x) 2 5
= =1+ =
8 3 3
⇒ 3(6 + x) = 40
⇒ 18 + 3x = 40
⇒ 3x = 22
22 1
∴ x = = 7 days
3 3
Hence, option C is correct.

43. As per the given information, work done by 4 boys and 3 women in 6 days must be equal to work done
by 2 boys and 4 women in 9 days.

Therefore, we get

(4B + 3W) × 6 = (2B + 4W) × 9

⇒ 24B + 18W = 18B + 36W

⇒ 6B = 18W ⇒ 1B = 3W

Now, 2B + 4W= (2 × 3)W + 4W = 10W

⇒ 10 women do a piece of work in 9 days.

Similarly, 7B + 9W = (7 × 3)w + 9W = 30W

Now, when 10 women do a piece of work in 9 days,

30 women (thrice of 10) will do the same piece of work in 3 days (∵ Time ∝ 1/Efficiency ).

Hence, option A is correct.

No. of married women not having children = 15 – 5 = 10
Now, total male employees = total – no. of women = 90 – 30 = 60

75% of men are married = 75% of 60 = 45

96. Given, 3 men and 4 boys together earn Rs. 264 in 8 days and 2 men and 3 boys together earn Rs. 184 in
the same time

Now, according to the Chain Rule formula,

M1D1W2 = M2D2W1

where, M = No. of person, D = No. of days, W = Amount of work

⇒ (3M + 4B) × 8 × 184 = (2M+ 3B) × 8 × 264

⇒ 3M = 7B ...(i)

Let the no. of days 6 men and 7 boys will work together to earn Rs. 315 be x

(6M + 7B) × x × 184 = (2M + 3B) × 8 × 315

Substituting the relation between men and boys from equation (i) in above equation,

14
⇒ (14B + 7B) × x × 184 = ( B + 3B ) × 8 × 315
3
⇒ 21B × x × 184 = 23B × 8 × 105

M2 = ?, D2 = 15 days, H2 = 7 hours

M1 × D1 × H1
M2 =
D2 × H2

21 × 25 × 10

Let (660 + x) militants eat the remaining ration at the rate of 1400 grams per militant in 15 days.

By the chain rule method, we get M1R1D1 = M2R2D2

∴ 660 × 800 × 35 = (660 + x) × 1400 × 15

660 × 800 × 35
or, (660 + x) =
1400 × 15
or, 660 + x = 880 or, x = 880 – 660 = 220.

Hence, option B is correct.

105. 20 women can complete the work in 14 days

Let the work completed by 1 women in 1 day = w
So work done by 20 women in 1 day = 20 × w
We know that work = M × D × H
Here, M = no. of men
D = no of days
H = hours
∴ Work done by 20 women in 14 days = 20 × w × 14
Let the work completed by 1 child in 1 day = c
So, work completed by 10 children in 1 day = 10 × c
So, work done by 10 children in 14 days = 10 × c × 14
∵ Work is equal
∴ 20 × w × 14 = 10 × c × 14
2×w=c
Let 5 women and 10 children complete the work in = d days
∴ Complete work = (5 × w + 10 × c) × d
∵ 1 child = 2 women
∴ 10 children = 20 women
(5 women + 20 women) = 25 women
Again work is equal 25 × w × d = 20 × w × 14
56
So, d = days
5
Hence, option (B) is correct.

Work done by (3 M + 2 W) = Work done by (2 M + 3 W)

⇒3M–2M=3W–2W

⇒1M=1W

⇒M:W=1:1

Option C is hence the correct answer.

125. Let the total work be 100%

A can do the work in 5 days, so he can do 20% work in 1 day
B can do the work in 4 days, so he can do 25% work in 1 day
Together they can do 20+25 = 45% work in 1 day
Now the work is increased by 800%, so the work becomes 900%
900
The work can be done in = 20 days
45
Hence, option D is correct.
126. As per the question,

1
Work done by A per day =
12

1
Work done by B per day =
18

As A & B work on alternate days starting with A. At the end of second day the amount of work
completed would be

1 1 5
Work done by the end of 2nd day = + =
12 18 36

So, in order to complete the work this fraction has to be equal to 1.

5/36 + 5/36 +…. 7 times will be equal to 35/36 which is closest to 1.

Hence, the time taken to finish 35/36 work will be 14 days (5/36 is two days work, so 35/36 will be
equal to 7 × 2 days)

On the 15th day, A works. The work remaining is 1/36 and A can finish 1/12 of the work in 1 day.

Hence time required by A to do 1/36 work = 1/36 / 1/12 = 1/3 days

Therefore, the time taken by A & B to complete while working alternatively would be 14 + 1/3 = 14.33
days.

Hence, option B is correct.

127.

1 56
Number of days to complete the work = = = 3.73 days
work done in one day 15

∴ Ajay and Kajol working together can finish the work in 3.73 days.

Hence, option C is correct.

129. Let A can do the work in x days.

B can do the same work in 18 days.

A and B can do the same work in 12 days.

Hence, option B is correct.

130. A can do the work in 20 days.
In one day A can do the 1/20th of the work.

B can do the 1/7th of the work in 5 days, so he can do the same work in 7 × 5 = 35 days.

In one day B can do the 1/35th of the work.

In one day A and B together can do the 1/20+ 1/35 work

1 1 7 + 4 11 th
= + = = work

11/140 work is done in 1 day

11 140 11
work is done in × = 10 days
14 11 14

Hence, Option D is correct.

131. Daily wages = hourly wages × work hours.

Let the original hourly wages and work hours be Rs. x and y hours respectively.

Since he used to earn Rs. 120 earlier, xy = 120

New hourly wages = Rs. (1.25x) and new working hours = 0.84y

∴ New daily wages = (1.25x)(0.84y) = 1.05xy = 1.05 × 120 = Rs. 126

Hence, option C is correct.

132. Let total work = 150 units

Since Radhe does 70% of the work (i.e. 105 units) in 15 days,

105
Radhe = = 7 units per day
15

Work left = 150 − 105 = 45 units

Let Shyam do x units of work per day. Shyam and Radhe finish the pending work in 4 days.

∴ 4(x + 7) = 45

∴ 4x = 45 − 28 = 17 i.e. x = 4.25 units

∴ Time taken by Shyam to complete the work = 150/4.25 = 35.29 ≈ 35.3 days

Note that 0.3 is equivalent to 5/17 (among the options).

Hence, option C is correct.

133. A can do 10% work in a day. A has worked 6 days in total. And so has B
A completed 60% work in 6 days and B did 40% in 6 days.

Efficiency of A and B = 6 : 4
4
B's share = × 54000 = 21600

Hence, option A is correct.

134. Let the speed of doing work of the three persons be 1x, 3x and 5x respectively
Time taken by each person = amount of work done/speed of doing work

Let the amount of work for each person = y (∵ work done is same)
y
The time taken by the first person =
x

y
The time taken by the second person =
3x

y
The time taken by the third person =
5x

y y y
The ratio of time taken = : :
x 3x 5x

1 1
⇒ 1 : : = 15 : 5 : 3
3 5

Hence, option D is correct.

135. 6 workers complete some work in 10 hours.

∴ 1 worker completes the same work in 60 hours.

Let the total work be equivalent to 60 man-hours.

From 9.00 am to 3.00 pm, all 6 workers work together for 6 hours.

∴ Amount of work done by 6 workers in 6 hours is 6 × 6 = 36 man-hours

From 3.00 pm to 4.00 pm, 7 man-hours of work will be done.

From 4.00 pm to 5.00 pm, 8 man-hours of work will be done.
From 5.00 pm to 6.00 pm, 9 man-hours of work will be done.

Thus, total amount of work done up to 6.00 pm is 36 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 60 man-hours

Thus, the computer will be assembled at 6.00 pm.

Hence, option C is correct.
136. Work done = Number of students × Hours worked per day × Number of days worked
Here, the work to be done is ‘solving n number of problems’. Since, the number of problems to be
solved in the second case is five times the original number of problems to be solved it the first case,
the work done in the second case is five times the work done in the first case.

Let the number of students required in the second case be x.

w 12 × 5 × 8
∴ =
5w x × 4 × 15
= 40
Thus, 40 students will be required.
Hence, option C is correct.

137. If R is the reduction in maximum speed and N is the number of passengers, then R is proportional to N
⇒ R = NK where K is constant of proportionality,

Given data: R = 20, when N = 5, hence K = 4

Maximum number of passenger that bus can’t move = (80 – N × K) = 80 – N × 4 ⇒ N = 20

So number of passenger for bust just move = 20 – 1 = 19

Hence correct option (B) is correct.

138. Tony, Monu and James completed a work together in 36 days.

In one day, together they will finish 1/36 of work.

Out of Rs. 54000, Tony took half of the total money, Monu took one third and James took remaining.

The shares of Tony, Monu and James are in ratio

1 1 1 1
: : (1 – – ) i.e., 3 : 2 : 1.
2 3 2 3

We know that efficiencies are in the same ratio as the share received in total amount.

Let us suppose that work done by Tony, Monu and James in one day is 3T, 2T and T, respectively.
1
⇒ 3T + 2T + T =
36
1
⇒ 6T =
36
1
⇒T=

1
Work done by James in one day = T =
216
Let us suppose that when Tony and James work together, they take N days to finish the work.
N N
⇒ + =1
72 216

4N
⇒ = 1 ⇒ N = 54
216
∴ When Tony and James work together, they take 54 days to finish the work.
Hence, option B is correct.

139.
8
Work done by Q and R together =
23

Since remaining work must be completed by P

8 15
∴ Work done by P = 1 – =
23 23

15
Thus, amount of money paid to P = × 529 = Rs. 345
23
Hence option B is correct.

140. Let 90 be the no. employees in the company

90
Therefore, total women employees = = 30
3
100 1
{ as 3
%= }
3

As no. of women married = 50% of 30 = 15

100
No. of married women having children = % of 15 = 5
3

No. of married women not having children = 15 – 5 = 10

Now, total male employees = total – no. of women = 90 – 30 = 60

75% of men are married = 75% of 60 = 45

200
No. of married men having children = % of 45 = 30
3
No. of married men not having children = 45 – 30 = 15

Now total married employees not having children in the company = no. of unmarried men and women
+ men and women not having children = 15 + 15 + 10 + 15 = 55
55 11
Required fraction = =
90 18
Hence, option (B) is correct.
141. Peroola + Rahul + Prashant = 6

Peroola’s one day work = 21 units
⇒ Rahul = 12 units
Prashant’s one day work = 70 – 33 = 37 units
75
Prashant’s efficiency to do the work alone = × 37
100
420 × 4 560
Time required to complete the work = = days
37 × 3 37
Hence, option A is correct.

480
The amount earned by them in 1 day = = Rs 80
6
Amount of money earned is proportional to the amount of work done
Let work done by A ,B and C be 4x, 5x and 7x.
∴ Total work done by A,B and C together= 16x
Work done by B = 5x
5x
Daily income of B = × 80 = Rs. 25
16x

Hence, option A is correct.

143. Let the time both of them together will take to make the carpet be x days

x x + 15x + 36

x2 + 15x + 36 = 2x2 + 15x

x=6
Time taken by Rashmi to make carpet alone = 6 + 3 = 9 days
Hence, option A is correct.
144. Let x, y and z are the one day’s work of Trump, Putin and Jinping respectively.

According to the question,

⇒ 3 × (x + y + z) = 37% of the work

⇒ 7 × (x + y) = 63%

⇒ x + y = 9%

∵ The ratio of efficiency of Trump and Putin is 4 : 5,

∴ 5x = 4y and x = 4%, y = 5% work per day.

It implies Trump can complete the job and in 25 days and Putin in 20 days.

In 3 days (x + y + z) do 37% of the work

Out of this Trump and Putin would do 27% work = (3 × 9%) of the work.

Remaining work = 37% – 27% = 10% (done by Jinping in 3 days)

10
∴ The work of z = = 3.33% work per day
3

∴ Jinping is the slowest and he would do the work in 30 days.

Hence, option E is correct.

145. Let the initial number of men be m

Total work = 4 m

m + (m – 20) + (m – 40) + …… = 4 m

151. Let the CP to 'A' = 100

After allowing a discount of 10% the SP will be = 90

As per the question,

'A' bought the article at 20% discount on Labelled Price. Therefore, the eq. will become like

80
⇒ of Labelled price = 100
100

⇒ ∴ Labelled Price = 125

Now, loss in value if the item was bought at LP = LP – SP = 125 – 90 = 35/-

35
Loss % = × 100 = 28%.
125

Hence, option D is correct.

152. Let the cost price of the cell phone be x, then,

128% of x = 8960

100

110
CP for C = 110% of 480= × 480 = Rs. 528
100

Hence, option C is correct.

154. Method I:
100 + Gain%
New SP = × Old SP
100 – Loss%

G% = L% = 20%, Old SP = 480

100 + 20 120
= × 480 = × 480
100 – 20 80

New SP = 120 × 6 = 720.

______________________________________
Method II:
Let the cost price of the article be x

According to the question, we get

80% of x = 480

480
x= × 100 = 600
80

Reqd. profit % = 120% of 600 = 720.

Hence, option C is correct.

155. Let the original price be x, then

30% of x = 82.50

82.50
x= × 100 = Rs. 275
30

Deepa bought calculator in 275 – 82.50 = Rs. 192.50

Hence, option A is correct.

156. Total CP = (CP + Overhead expenses) = Rs. (150 + 12% of 150)

12
= Rs.(150 + × 150) = Rs. 168
100

Given that gain = 10%

110
∴ SP = Rs.( × 168) = Rs. 184.80
100

Hence, option A is correct.

157. Let the value of consignment = x, then

Hence, option D is correct.

158. Let the CP be x

According to the question,

625 – x = x – 425

⇒ 2x = 1060

⇒ x = Rs. 530

Hence, option B is correct.

159. Let CP = x
According to the question,

650 – x = x – 426

⇒ 2x = 650 + 426 = 1076

⇒ x = Rs. 538

1 1 50
∴ of 50% of 538 = × × 538 = Rs. 134.50
2 2 100

Hence, option A is correct.

160. Let the sugar sold at 8% gain = x

∴ Sugar sold at 18% gain = (1000 – x)

Let CP of sugar = Rs. y per kg

Total CP = Rs. 1000y

108 118 114

∴ (100 × xy) + 100(1000 – x)y = 100× 1000y
⇒ 108xy + 118000y – 118xy = 114000y

⇒ 10x = 4000

∴ x = 400

∴ Quantity sold at 18% profit = (1000 – 400) kg = 600 kg

Hence, option B is correct.

161. Let the original price be x.

Since, at discount of 20% article cost Rs. 596.

80 596 × 100
Then, 596 = ×x ⇒ x= = 745
100 80

∴ Original price = Rs. 745.

Hence, option C is correct.

162. Method 1: Suppose he buys 100 goods at Re. 1 each. Therefore CP of 100 times = Rs. 100

It's further given that 25% i.e. 25 goods are abducted, so he is left with 75 goods.

125 5 × 75
Therefore, SP of the remaining 75 goods at 25% profit = 75 × ×1=
100 5

From here, he increases his selling price by 20%.

120 × 5 × 75
So, New S.P of 75 goods =
100 x 5

= 112.5
i.e. Now overall the merchant has profit of 12.5% only.
______________________________________________________________________
Method 2:
To solve this question, we can apply the net% effect formula
xy
x+y+ %
100

In the 1st scenario, x = 25% (Profit), y = – 25% (Loss due to theft)

25 × 25 25 25
= 25 – 25 – = – % = % loss
100 4 4

In the 2nd scenario, applying the net% effect formula again,

25
Here x = 20% (profit) and y = – % (Resultant loss occurred after profit and loss happened in the 1st scenario)
4

25 25 × 20
= 20 – – = 20 – 6.25 – 1.25 = 12.5%
4 4 × 100

Hence, option A is correct.

163. By hypothesis let the labelled price of the vegetables be Rs. 100

After 15% discount the shopkeeper buy them for rupees 85.
120
New price after 20% profit = Rs. × 85 = 102.
100

This is the price after 10% discount on marked price

102 × 100
i.e. Marked prices is Rs. = 113.33
90

So, the marked price is 13.33% more then labelled price.

Hence, option C is correct.

164. The sold first pot at 10% profit

Second at 16.66% loss and third at 25% profit

He sold last two (i.e. 4th and 5th) for

4th = Rs. 140; 5th = Rs. 78

Let the cost of each pot be x

then Selling price of –

110x
First pot =
100

83.34 x
Second pot =
100

125 x
Third pot =
100

4th pot = 140; 5th pot = 78.

Total cost of 5 pots = 5x

There is no profit no loss to that man, so

110x 83.34x 125x
+ + + 140 + 78 = 5x.
100 100 100

3.18 + 218 = 5x; 1.82x = 218

x = 119.78 ≈ 120.

If all the pot has been sold for Rs. 156 then the profit is
(156 – 120) × 100
⇒ = 30%.
120

Hence, option B is correct.

165. He sells 95% petrol at the rate of 100% or we can say for him C.P of 95% is equal to S.P of 100% petrol.

100 – 95 5
Profit = × 100 = × 100
95 95
⇒ 5.26%
Hence, option B is correct.
166. Let the cost price of the article be Rs. 100
Therefore, first dealer makes 20% profit on CP = Rs. 120

And, Overall profit at the CP is 40% = Rs. 140

140 – 120 2
So, 2nd dealer makes profit % = × 100 = 16 %.
120 3

Hence, option B is correct.

167. Let the discount be Rs. 1 per orange

Discount of 10 oranges = profit of 5 oranges

Profit of 5 oranges = Rs. 10

Profit of 1 orange = 2

⇒ Profit = 2. Discount

Difference = Rs. 1

i.e. Profit is 100% more than discount.

Hence, option D is correct.

168. Let's assume the initial CP of 100 gm of goods = Rs. 100/-

100 5
∴ Actual CP/gm = =
120 6
[Since he gets 20% more amount and he pays only Rs 100]
Now, actual profit% after marking up & offering discount
80 × 25
= 80 – 25 – [applying net% effect]
100
= 35%
∴ Initial SP of 100 gm of goods = 135% of 100 = 135/-
135 3
Actual SP/gm = =
90 2
[Since he sells 10% less amount at the same price.]
Let's assume the quantity bought & sold be 6 gms
5
∴ CP/6 gms = × 6 = 5/-
6
3
and SP/6 gms = × 6 = 9/-
2
9–5
∴ Actual Profit % = × 100% = 80%
5
Hence, option B is correct.
169. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach

If the cost price of x articles is equal to the selling price of y articles, then the profit percentage = × 100%.
y

x is the number of articles the cost price of which is given = 40

y is the number of articles the selling price of which is given = 25

By the short trick approach, we get

40 – 25 15
Gain per cent = × 100 = × 100 = 60%
25 25

Hence, option B is correct.

170. Let the CP of article be Rs. x, then

120% of x – 115% of x = 27

⇒ 5% of x = 27

27 × 100
⇒ x= = Rs. 540
5

Hence, option C is correct.

171. Cost price of 13 articles = Rs. 5,980

Selling price of 13 articles = Rs. 6,656

Profit = SP – CP = 6656 – 5980 = Rs. 676

Profit × 100 676 × 100

Profit % = = = 11.30% ≈ 11%
CP 5980

Hence, option B is correct.

∴ C.P =
(100 + 8)

1080 × 88
= = Rs. 880/-
108

Hence, option B is correct.

193. Approach I:
(100 – Loss %)
SP of the 1st Scooter = × CP
100

90
= × 52000 = 46800/-
100

(100 + Gain %)
SP of the 2nd Scooter = × CP
100

120
= × 46800 = 56160
100

∴ Profit = Rs. 56160 – Rs. 52000 = Rs. 4160/-

Approach II:
Initial CP = 52000/- Now on this CP Kiran first experience a loss and then a profit in the 2 nd transaction.
We can find the effective profit% or loss% by applying the net% effect formula here.
xy
Net% effect = (x + y + )%
100

Let's assume x = loss% = –10% and y = gain = 20%

10 × 20
∴ effective rate = – 10 + 20 – = 8%
100

[∵ 8% comes with a positive sign it confirms that Kiran overall gains in transactions.]
∴ Gain in value = 8% of 52000 = 4160/-
Hence, option A is correct.

194. By allegation method:

40% 20%
\ /
30%
/ \
30 – 20 = 10 40 – 30 = 10

10
Quantity sold at 40% profit = × 90 = 45 kg
20

10
Quantity sold at 20% profit = × 90 = 45 kg
20

Hence, option B is correct.

195. Given,
Loss% = 20% and profit% = 20%
By the short trick approach, we get
100 + Profit %
New SP of an orange = × Old SP of an orange
100 – Loss %

100 + 20 40
= ×
100 – 20 45

120 40 12
= × =
80 45 9

Or,

12 × 2 24
= =
9 × 2 18

Hence, 18 oranges for Rs. 24 to be sold to gain 20% as profit.

Hence, option B is correct.
196. Let the Marked Price be 100/-

∴ Selling Price after discount of 10% = 90/-

It’s given that shopkeeper earns a profit of 12.5% even after offering the discount

∴ (100 + 12.5) % of Cost Price = Selling Price = 90/-

1125
∴ × CP = 90
1000

∴ CP = 80 /-

Now, had the shopkeeper not offered a discount on the selling price would have been = Marked Price =
100/-

∴ Profit to be = 100 – 80 = 20

Profit 20
∴ Profit% = × 100% = × 100% = 25%
CP 80

Hence, option B is correct.

197. Given,

Loss% = 25% and profit% = 20%

By the short trick approach, we get

100 + Profit %
New SP of a guava = × Old SP of a guava
100 – Loss %

100 + 20 30
= ×
100 – 25 32

120 30 6
= × =
75 32 4

Or,

6 × 3 18
= =
4 × 3 12

Hence, 12 guavas for Rs. 18 to be sold to gain 20% of profit.

Hence, option A is correct.

198. Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x.

∴ 3362 − x = x – 2346

3362 + 2346
∴ x = C.P. = = 2,854/-
2

∴ S.P. corresponding to a 20% profit = 1.2 × 2854 = Rs. 3,424.8/-

Hence, option D is correct.

199. Let the profit be x on Rs. 400. Then, profit becomes triple on Rs. 660

Now, 660 – 3x = 400 – x

or, x = Rs. 130

CP = 400 – 130 = Rs. 270

270 × 130
∴ SP of article at 30% profit = = Rs. 351
100

Hence, option B is correct.

200. At Rs. 94 per unit, Rs. 28200 will get him

28200

215. Let the bill amount be Rs. x.

The difference between a discount of 25% and two successive discounts of 10% and 20% on a certain
bill was Rs. 90.

So, we can write now,

[x × (100 – 25)%] – [x × (100 – 10)% × (100 – 20)%] = 90

⇒ (x × 75%) – (x × 90% × 80%) = 90

75 7200
⇒ x( – ) = 90
100 10000

⇒ x (7500 – 7200) = 90 × 10000

⇒ x × 300 = 900000

900000
⇒x=

⇒ x = 3000

∴ The bill amount was Rs. 3000.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

216. Marked price = Rs. 800

Cost price = 800 ÷ 125 × 100 = Rs.640

Profit = 640 × 12.5% = Rs.80

Discount = 800 – 640 – 80 = Rs.80

Discount % = 80 ÷ 800 × 100 = 10%

Ratio of the cost price of blanket to the bed sheet = 4 : 3

640
Cost price of bed sheet = × 3 = Rs. 480

∴ New SP = × 5 = 3/-
5

As per the question,

100 100 60
CP = × SP = × 3 = /-
(100 – Loss %) 65 13

60 5
∴ Actual gain on selling the item at the actual selling price = 5 – =
13 13

5/13
∴ Gain% = × 100% = 8.33%
60/13

Hence, option A is correct.

233. According to the question, we get the equation

Hence, option B is correct.

235. The marked up price becomes 150% of 800 = 1200

After the first discount the price becomes= 90% of 1200 = 1080

After the second discount the price becomes = 80% of 1080 = 864

So the profit earned is 864 – 800 = Rs. 64

Hence, option C is correct.

236. Let the CP be 100. Since profit is 25%, the SP becomes 125
Now if both the figures are interchanged, the CP becomes 125 and SP becomes 100.

The loss incurred is 25 or in terms of percentage

25
Loss % = × 100 = 20%
125

Hence, option B is correct.

237. The SP of the first item = 125% of 12000 = 15000

The SP of the second item = 80% of 12000 = 9600

The total SP of both the items = 24600

The profit earned is 24600 – 24000 = 600

600
Percentage of Profit earned is × 100 = 2.5%
24000
Hence, option D is correct.
238. Cost price of a pen = Rs. 4
54
S.P. of a pen before discount = = Rs. 4.5
12

S.P. of a pen after discount = 4.5 × 0.9 = Rs. 4.05

Profit % after giving the discount : Profit % without giving the discount
4.05 – 4 4.5 – 4
⇒ × 100 : × 100
4 4

⇒ 4.05 – 4 : 4.5 – 4
⇒ 0.05 : 0.5
⇒ 1 : 10

Hence, option A is correct.

239. We solve this question using the concept of Allegation.

The price of Book = 2800 × = 1200
7

4
The price of Novel = 2800 × = 1600
7

The difference between the Cost price of the Book and Novel = 1600 – 1200 = Rs. 400

Hence, option B is correct.

240. Let the C.P. of a bag be Rs. 100.

∴ Marked price = Rs. 128

And S.P. = Rs. 106

M.P. – S.P.
∴ Discount % = × 100
M.P.

128 – 106
= × 100 = 17.1875%
128

∴ Discount % ≈ 17%
Thus, Virat should allow a discount of approximately 17% to gain 6% profit.
Hence, option A is correct.
241.

51

∴ Ratio = 6420 : 5350 = 642 : 535 = 6 : 5

Hence, option E is correct.

242. The manufacturer sells the product to retailer, and then retailer sells to the customer.
Assume manufacturing cost = 100 and manufacturer profit = x

As Maximum Retail Price (MRP) of a product is 60% above its manufacturing cost,

MRP = 160% of 100 = 160

The retailer gives 15% discount on MRP. So, customer price is 85% of MRP.

Buyer Price = 85% of 160 = 136

Manufacturer makes x rupees profit, and then retailer makes 19% profit.

So, 119% of (100 + x) = 136

⇒ 119 (100 + x) = 13600

⇒ (100 + x) = 114.28

⇒ x = 14.28

Hence, Manufacturer profit = 14.2%

The correct option is B.

243. We can compare Selling Price to get the answer.
First Scenario: When markup was 40%

= 140% of 5000 = 7000

Second Scenario: When there is markup of 80 % and then a discount of 20%

= 80% of 180% of 5000 = 7200

In the second scenario, he is earning Rs. 200 less.

So we can say that he would have earned Rs. 200 less, had he not gotten greedy.
Hence, option B is correct.

244. Let the cost of B be 100x ( for the sake of ease in computation)
So cost of A becomes 200x

Now SP of A becomes 90% of 200x = 180x

7
And SP of B becomes 100x × = 140x
5

The difference between both of them is 40x

Since this difference corresponds to Rs. 1200, 40x = 1200 or x = 30

There cost of A becomes 200 × 30 = Rs. 6000

Hence, option D is correct.

245. Let the total sales be Rs. 100

Women's shirt comprise 60% of the output
⇒ Rs. 60 out of Rs. 100 is sales of female’s shirts

∴ Men's shirts comprise (100 – 60) = 40% of the output

⇒ Rs. 40 out of Rs. 100 is the sales of male’s shirts

∴ Average profit from men's shirt = 9% of 40 = Rs. 3.6

Overall average profit = 5 % of 100 = Rs. 5

∴ Average profit from women's shirts = 5 – 3.6 = Rs. 1.4

This is from the sale of Rs. 60

1.4
∴ The profit per rupee is = 0.0233
60

∴ The average profit per sale rupee in women shirts is Rs. 0.0233
Hence, option D is correct.
246. This problem can be solved by either the conventional method or by using the answer options.
After the first cycle, the value of the article decreased by Rs. 1,000.

∴ The original price has to be more than Rs. 23,040

Hence, options 1 and 2 can be eliminated.

x x
x% increase and x% decrease is equivalent to (1 +
100)( 100)
1−

x2
∴ Old price × [1 −
10000]
= New price

x2
∴ Old price − new price = old price × [
10000]

x2
i.e. 1000 = old price × [
10000]

Consider option C: Old price = 25000

𝑥2
∴ 1000 = 25000 × [ ]
10000

∴ x2 = 400 i.e. x = 20%

∴ Change for second year = (1 + 0.2)(1 − 0.2) = (1.2)(0.8) = 0.96

Observe that value of old price : new price for second year = 23040 : 24000 = 0.96

Hence, original price of article = Rs. 25,000

Hence, option C is correct.

247. Total cost incurred = (600 × 40,000) + (500 × 35,000) = 24000000 + 17500000
= 41500000 = 41.5 million [1 million = 1000000]

Total units = 600 + 500 = 1100

Total Revenue = 1100 × 50,000 = 55 million.

Revenue – Cost
Profit% = × 100
Cost

55 million – 41.5 million

= × 100 = 32.5%
41.5
Hence, option A is correct.
248. Let the cost price of the plan be P

Marked price = 1.6 P

Selling price = 0.8 (1.6P) = 1.28 P

Service tax = 0.15(1.28P) = 0.192P

(1.28P – 0.192P) – P
Profit % = × 100% = 8.8%
P

Hence, option A is correct.

249. Since B computes actual profit on S.P., actual profit for B = 25% of 1000 = Rs. 250

Since A computes actual profit on C.P., C.P. for A = 1000/1.25 = Rs. 800

∴ Actual profit for A = 25% of 800 = Rs. 200

∴ Required difference = 250 – 200 = Rs. 50

Hence, option D is correct.

250.

Now, 16.5x = 12x + 60 + 30

or, 4.5x = 90

90
∴ x= = Rs. 20 kg
4.5

Now, new selling price of mixture

256. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

If the average of ‘n’ quantities is equal to ‘x’ when a quantity is removed the average becomes ‘y’.
Then the value of the removed quantity is [n (x – y) + y].

Given:

Number of persons = n = 27, Difference in average = (x – y) = 1 cm

Old average = x = 162, New average = y = 162 – 1 = 161 cm

By the short trick approach, we get

[n (x – y) + y]

⇒ [27 (1) + 161] = [27 + 161] = 188 cm.

Hence, option (E) is correct.

257. Third number = Total of five number – (Total of first two numbers + Total of last two numbers)

Hence, option C is correct.

258. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

If the average of ‘n’ quantities is equal to ‘x’ when a quantity is removed the average becomes ‘y’.
Then the value of the removed quantity is [n (x – y) + y].

Given:

Number of persons = n = 15

Old average = x = 15

New average = y = 14

Difference in average = (x – y) = 1

By the short trick approach, we get

[n (x – y) + y]

⇒ [15 × (1) + 14] years = 29 years.

Hence, option (C) is correct.

259. Average of A and B = 30

Total value of A and B = 30 × 2 = 60

And average of C and D = 20

Total value of C and D = 20 × 2 = 40

Since, the individual values of A, B, C and D are not specified.

Hence, average of B and C can be greater or less than 25 and average of A and D can be greater or less
than 25.

Hence, option (D) is correct.

269. With the given information it is evident that the average age of the south Indian couple & that of the
other member is equal, because the inclusion or subtraction of their age is not affecting the average of
the group.

We can find the average age of the couple and number of persons by applying hit & trial method.
Let’s take the option B which is 20, 27

540
∴ Average age of the party members = = 20
27

We can confirm it further by putting it in the eq. as follows,

Total age – (Total age of couple)

= Old age (It remains unchanged)
Remaining no. of guests

540 – (20 × 2)

271. A + B = 2 × 20 = 40 yr
B + C = 2 × 19 = 38 yr
C + A = 2 × 21 = 42 yr
On adding all three,
2 (A + B + C) = 40 + 38 + 42 = 120
⇒ A + B + C = 60
∴ A = (A + B + C) – (B + C) = 60 – 38 = 22 yr
Similarly,
B = (A + B) – A = 40 – 22 = 18 yr
C = (C + A) – A = 42 – 22 = 20 yr
Note: In this question we can save 4–5 seconds by not calculating the age of the third person as with

272. To solve this question we can apply a short trick approach

n + 1 th n+1
Value of ( ) result = (
2 )
× (b + c) – n × a
2

Where

n is the total number of term = 7 days

b is the average of first four terms = 25

c is the average of last four terms = 25.5

a is the average of whole terms = 25.2

By the short trick approach, we get

n + 1 th 7+1
Value of (
2 )
result = (
2 )
× (25 + 25.5) – 7 × 25.2

8
= (2) × (50.5) – 176.4 ⇒ 202 – 176.4 = 25.6

Traditional method:

Total average of first 4 days = 4 × 25 = 100

Total average of last 4 days = 4 × 25.5 = 102

Total average of 7 days = 7 × 25.2 = 176.4

Temperature 4th day's = 100 + 102 – 176.4 = 25.6

Hence, option D is correct.

273. Total sales of 6 days = 6 × 15640 = 93840

Total sales Tuesday to Saturday = 5 × 14124 = 70620

277. As per the given information, we get

Average of 9 numbers = 30. So, total of the numbers = 30 × 9 = 270

Average of first 5 numbers = 25. So, total of the numbers = 5 × 25 = 125

Average of last 3 numbers = 35. So, total of the numbers = 3 × 35 = 105

Hence, the 6th number = 270 – (125 + 105) = 270 – 230 = 40.

Hence, option C is correct.

∴ Z's age = 93 – 66 = 27 years

Hence, option (B) is correct.

284. Total age of 12 persons = 12 × 32 = 384 years

Given that if the age of one person is added, the average decreases by one year

∴ Total age of 13 persons = 13 × 31 = 403 years

Now, age of new person = 403 – 384 = 19 years

Hence, option (A) is correct.

285. Total weight of 25 students = 37 × 25 = 925 kg

Given that when the weight of the teacher is also included, the average weight increases by 1 kg

∴ Total weight along with the teacher = 38 × 26 = 988 kg

Now, the weight of the teacher = 988 – 925 = 63 kg

Hence, option (B) is correct.

288. Third number = Total of five number – (Total of first two numbers + Total of last two numbers)

= 924 – (2 × 201.5 + 2 × 196)

= 924 – (403 + 392)

= 924 – 795 = 129

Hence, option (B) is correct.

289. The average age of the boys = 14 years

The sum of ages of the boys = 14 × 32 = 448 years

The average age of the girls = 13 years

The sum of ages of the girls = 13 × 28 = 364 years

The sum of ages of the boys and the girls = 448 + 364 = 812 years

Total students in the class = 32 + 28 = 60

812
∴ Required average = = 13.53 years
60
Hence, option (B) is correct.
290. Given, average weight of 12 parcels = 1.8 kg

∴ Total weight of 12 parcels = 12 × 1.8 = 21.6 kg

If addition of another new parcel reduces the average weight by 50 g.

∴ Average weight of 13 parcels = 1.8 kg – 50 g = 1.75 kg

∴ Total weight of 13 parcels = 13 × 1.75 = 22.75 kg

Now, weight of the new parcel = 22.75 – 21.6 = 1.15 kg

Hence, option C is correct.

291. As per the given information, we get

Average of 15 numbers = 7. So, total of the numbers = 15 × 7 = 105

Average of first 8 numbers = 6.5. So, total of the numbers = 8 × 6.5 = 52

Average of last 8 numbers = 9.5. So, total of the numbers = 8 × 9.5 = 76

Hence, the 8th number = (52 + 76) – 105 = 128 – 105 = 23.

Hence, option C is correct.

292. Numbers:
a, b = (a + 2), c = (a + 4), d = (a + 6), e = (a + 8)
a+a+2+a+4+a+6+a+8 5a + 20
∴ Required avg. = =
5 5

5(a + 4)
⇒ = a + 4.
5
Hence, option D is correct.

293. Let the number of students in section A is x and B is y, then

77.5 × x + 70 × y
74 =
x+y
⇒ 74x + 74y = 77.5x + 70y
x 4 8
⇒ 4y = 3.5x ⇒ = =
y 3.5 7
⇒ 8 : 7.
Hence, option C is correct.
294. As per the given information, we get

Average of 12 months = 3400. So, total salary of all 12 months = 3400 × 12 = Rs. 40800 (eq. 1)

Average of first 8 months = 3160. So, total salary of first 8 months = 3160 × 8 = Rs. 25280 (eq. 2)

Average of last 5 months = 4120. So, total salary of first 5 months = 4120 × 5 = Rs. 20,600 (eq. 3)

Person's income in the eighth month = (25280 + 20600) – 40800 = 45880 – 40800 = Rs. 5080.

Note: In such questions, when we calculate total of two different sets (for instance, first 8 months +
last 5 months), one particular value (8th month in this case) is calculated twice.

On subtracting the total of eq. 1 from the total of eq. 2 and 3 we are left with the value of the month
that's been calculated twice in the question.

Hence, option B is correct.

295. Let the numbers are 2x, x, 4x, then,

Total of the numbers = 3 × 56 = 168

⇒ 2x + x + 4x = 168

⇒ 7x = 168 ⇒ x = 24

∴ Required difference = 4x – 2x = (4 × 24) – (2 × 24)

⇒ 96 – 48 = 48.

Hence, option D is correct.

296. As per the given information, we get

Average of 9 numbers = 50. So, total of the numbers = 9 × 50 = 450

Average of first 5 numbers = 54. So, total of the numbers = 5 × 54 = 270

Average of last 3 numbers = 52. So, total of the numbers = 3 × 52 = 156

Hence, the 6th number = 450 – (270 + 156) = 450 – 426 = 24.

Hence, option C is correct.

297. According to the question, the average score of Rajeev, Mahendra and Suresh is 63.
∴ Sunny's score = 63 + 30 = 93

Now,

Rajeev's score = 93 – 15 = 78

Mahendra's score = 78 – 10 = 68

∴ Suresh's score = 63 × 3 – (78 + 68) = 43

∴ (Mahendra + Suresh)'s scores = 68 + 43 = 111

Hence, option D is correct.

298. As per the question,

or, x – z = 30 Therefore, the difference between the first and the third number is 30.

Hence, option D is correct.

301. The total age of all family members = 30 × 14 = 420

New baby born and after 4 years the total age of all the members = 420 + 15 × 4 = 420 + 60 = 480

480
Reqd. average = = 32 years
15

Hence, option E is correct.

302. According to the question,

20 × 30 + m × 35 + (m + 4) × 25 = 29.6 × (20 + m + m + 4)

600 + 35m + 25m + 100 = 29.6 × (24 + 2m)

700 + 60m = 710.4 + 59.2m

710.4 – 700 = 60m – 59.2m

10.4 = 0.8m

m = 13

Quantity of pasta that is bought at Rs 25 per kg = 13 + 4 = 17 kg

Hence, option E is correct.

x = 25

Hence, option B is correct.

308. Let the average run for 5th inning = x

5x + 54 = 6 (x – 1)

5x + 54 = 6x – 6

6 + 54 = 6x – 5x

x = 60

His run in the 7th inning = 54 + 5 = 59

Total runs after 7th inning = 59 + 60 × 5 + 54 = 113 + 300 = 413

413
Average runs after 7th inning = = 59
7

Hence, option B is correct.

309. Total height of models = 35 × 160 = 5600 cm

When actual height of models is calculated, we get = 5600 – (144 – 104) = 5600 – 40 = 5560 cm

Hence, % of female employees = × 100 = 50%
2

Therefore, option (B) is correct.

314. Total salary of 65 workers = 65 × 5680 = Rs. 369200

Total salary of 31 workers = 31 × 2356 = Rs. 73036

Total salary of 23 workers = 23 × 4589 = Rs. 105547

No. of remaining workers = 65 – 31 – 23 = 65 – 54 = 11

Total Salary of 11 workers = 369200 – 73036 – 105547 = 369200 – 178583 = Rs. 190617

190617
Required average = = 17329 (approx.)

Hence, option A is correct.

316. Total expenditure for the year = [1800 × 3 + 1850 × 4 + 2720 × 5]

= 5400 + 7400 + 13600 = Rs. 26400

Total saving = Rs. 912

Total income = expenses + savings = 26400 + 912 = Rs. 27312

27312
Average income = = Rs. 2276
12

Hence, option B is correct.

317. Let the initial number of students in the class be x

Initial average weight of students be Ax.

After the new student weighing 30 kg joins the class,

The number of students becomes x + 1,

and the average weight becomes Ax + 1.

If the new student's weight is 12 kg lesser, that is 18 kg, the new average weight becomes A x – 1.

∴ A 12 kg reduction in one student's weight causes a 2 kg reduction in the average weight.

12
∴ The number of students is = 6 =x+1
2

∴ The number of students present initially = x = 5

Hence, Option B is correct..

318. Let the average of the runs made by the other 10 batsmen be x.

∴ Runs made by the captain = x + 94

Now, x + 94 + 10x = 358

or, 11x = 264

264
∴ x= = 24
11

∴ Runs scored by Virat = 24 + 94 = 118

Hence, option D is correct.

319. Sum of the total runs before removal of top 5 run scorers = 65 x 90 = 5850

Sum of the total runs after removal of top 5 run scorers = 60 x 85 = 5100

Therefore, the runs scored by top 5 players = 5850 - 5100 = 750

Let the runs scored by highest run getter be x.

Therefore, sum of the runs scored by top 5 scorers = x + (x – 1) + (x – 2) + (x – 3) + (x – 4) = 750

or, 5x = 750 + 10

∴ x = 152

Hence, option B is correct.

320. Height of 3 boys Bikesh, Sam and Suhas is

208

3

With the help of this information, the height of 5 boys cannot be determined.

Hence, option (E) is correct.

321. Total score of 40 students = (40 × 76) = 3040

Total score of top 3 scorers = 3040 – (37 × 75) = 265

To minimize the score of the top scorer, we assume the other two top scorers score the maximum they
can = 85 marks each.

So, the top scorer scored = 265 – 170 = 95 marks.

Hence, option C is correct.

322. Total weight of Amar, Visera and Daman = 70 × 3 = 210 kg

Again, Amar + Visera + Daman + Vishal = 66 × 4 = 264 kg ......... (i)

∴ Weight of Vishal = 264 – 210 = 54 kg

∴ Weight of Tahir = 54 + 6 = 60 kg

Now, as per the question

Visera + Daman + Vishal + Tahir = 75 × 4 = 300 kg. ................... (ii)

Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get

Tahir – Amar = 60 – Amar = 300 – 264 = 36

Therefore, weight of Amar = 60 – 36 = 24 kg

Hence, option D is correct.

323. The smallest cube divisible by 16 is 64.

Lets assume the average salary before the manager's salary is included is x

After addition of Manager's salary the average increases by 100

We can write down the above information in form of an equation as:

64x + 9500 = 65 × (x + 100)

Solving for x, we get x = 3000

The final average is 3000 + 100 = Rs. 3100

Hence, option D is correct.

324. Number of applicants that have been counted extra = 1857 − 1747 = 110
110
Hence, decrease in average = = 0.495

Average of last 4 match = 140

M2 + M3 + M4 + M5
⇒ = 140
4

⇒ M2 + M3 + M4 + M5 = 560 ......(ii)

Average of all the exams

M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 + M5
⇒ = 122
5

∴ M1 + M2 + M3 + M4 + M5 = 122 × 5 = 610 .......(iii)

From solving above equation, we get M1 + M4 + M5 = 300

300
Required average runs = = 100
3

Hence correct option (A) is correct.

326. We know,
Average of quantities = sum of all quantities / no. of quantities
The average expenditure of a worker for 6 months was Rs. 95.

So, the total expenditure of the worker for 6 months = Rs. 95 × 6 = Rs. 570

In the next 4 months by reducing his monthly expenses to Rs. 70 he not only cleared off his debt but
also saved Rs. 50. So, total expenditure in these 4 months = Rs. 70 × 4 = Rs. 280

We know,
Total income – total expenditure = total savings
⇒ Total income = total expenditure + total savings
⇒ Total income = (570 + 280) + 50 = 900
So, the total income in 10 months = Rs. 900
∴ His monthly income = Rs. (900/10) = Rs. 90
Hence, option D is correct.
327.
Top Middle Bottom Total

Number of student 45 30 25 100

Average P 25 20 26

Let the total number of students in the class = 100. The data given in the question is shown in the

Hence correct option is (D).

328. Let number of boys be B and

number of girls be G in the class

so total strength of class = B + G

If the average height of boys in class is 5.7 ft then total height of boys in class will be 5.7B

similarly If the average height of girls in class is 5 ft then total height of girls in class will be 5G

ALSO given average height of all students in class is 5.5ft then

7.5B + 5G
= 5.5
B+G

⇒ 5.7B + 5G = 5.5B + 5.5G

⇒ 0.2B = 0.5G or 2B = 5G …a)

Now we have to choose B and G such that ….a) gets equal

the value at option 3 rd i.e B = 50 AND G = 20 satisfy it

Hence, option C is correct.

329. Let the number of boys = x and the number of girls = y then

Hence, option C is correct.

330. Let the number of boys = x and the number of girls = y

The total number of chocolates the boys have = 240x

The total number of chocolates the girls have = 180y

If each of the boys eat 10 chocolates then the remaining number of chocolates, the boys will have =
240x – 10x = 230x

The sum of the all the chocolates = 200(x + y) = 230x + 180y

20y = 30x

x:y=2:3

2 × 100
The reqd. percentage = = 40%
5

Hence, option B is correct.

331. Sum of the heights of the first six students = 170 × 6 = 1020 cm
Sum of the heights of the last eight students = 175 × 8 = 1400 cm

Sum of the heights of the total 16 students = 180 × 16 = 2880

Sum of the height of the left 2 students = 2880 – 1020 – 1400 = 460

460
Average height of the left 2 students = = 230 cm
2

Hence, option D is correct.

332. Total salary of trainees = 16 × 708.75 = Rs. 11,340

Let there be x trainees.

∴ Total salary = Rs. (90x) and salary of remaining trainees = Rs. [75(x − 16)]

∴ 90x = 11340 + 75x − 1200

∴ 15x = 10140 i.e. x = 676

Hence, option B is correct.

333. Man days for which food is available = 200 × 50 = 10000

Available food is enough for 1 student for 10000 days

Food used by 200 students in 10 days = 200 × 10 man days of food = 2000

Man days of food left = 10000 – 2000 = 8000 man days of food

Total number of students now = 200 + 50 = 250

Remaining food can be used for 250 students for

8000
= days = 32 days
250

Hence, option B is correct.

334. Total weight of friends P, Q, R, S and T = (x + 6) x 5 = 5 (x + 6) kg

So, total weight of P, Q and S = 5 (x + 6) – 2 (x – 6) = (3x + 42) = 3 (x + 14)

Weight of U = (x + 6 – 5) × 6 – 5 (x + 6) = 6 (x + 1) – 5 (x + 6) = (x – 24) kg

According to the question,

[3 (x + 14) + (x – 24)] = 94.5 × 4

4x + 18 = 378

4x = 360; x = 90

Hence, option D is correct.

335. Let the average weight of all five = 100k

So, weight of A = 90k, B = 112k and C = 94k

Let the weight of D = d and that of E = e

90k + 112k + 94k + d + e

= 100k
5

d + e = 204k

6
d : e = 6 : 11 → d = × 204 = 72k → e = 132k
17

Difference = 132k – 72k = 60k

60k = 75

75
So, k = = 1.25
60

Average weight of all the five persons = 100 × 1.25 = 125kg

Hence, option E is correct.

336. Total marks obtained by 17 girls = 35 × 17 = 595

Retirement age = 60 years

Total age of 30 employees after 2 years = 1400 + (40 × 2) – (60 × 10)

= 1400 + 80 – 600 = 880

880 88
∴ Average age after two years = = years
30 3

Hence, option E is correct.

339. Let the amount paid by each of Rajiv’s friend be Rs x
Total amount paid by them in all = Rs. (145 + 12x)

Average amount that should have been paid by Rajiv’s friends = 5 + x

= (x + 5)
13

x = 80

Hence, option A is correct.

340. Let the present age of father, mother and three children’s be F, M, C1, C2 and C3.
When the first child was born, the age of the first child was 0.

Average = 16 sum of their age = 16x3 =48

After n1 years, second child was born, the age of first child will be n1 years and age of second child be
0.

Average = 15.75, sum of their age = 15.75 × 4 = 63

Difference between the sum of their age after n1 years = 63 – 48 = 15

3n1 = 15

n1 = 5

After n2 years, third child was born, the age of first child get increased by n2 years, age of second child
will be n2 years, age of third child is 0.

Average = 14.2, sum of their age = 14.2 x 5 = 71

Difference between the sum of their age after n2 years = 71 – 63 = 8

4n2 = 8

n2 = 2

After n3 years, average is 15.2 years, sum of their age = 15.2 × 5 = 76

Difference between the sum of their age after n3 years = 76 – 71 = 5

5n3 = 5
n3 = 1

First child was born 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 years ago.

So the age of the first child is 8 years.
Hence, option C is correct.

Total distance covered by Car and Taxi = 20x + 15x = 35x = 126 km (Given)

126
Length of journey = 100 × = 360 km
35

Hence, option (A) is correct.

362. A beats B by 15 sec means A reaches the destination 15 sec ahead of B or B reaches 15 sec later than
B. Let all of them compete in a 2 km or 2000 m race, now we can compare them as follows:

A beats B by 150 sec, B beats C by 100 sec, C beats D by 80 sec, D beats E by 70 sec, ⇒ E would finish
the race 400 sec after A.

Now, if A has to beat E by 800 m then we can say that E will cover the remaining 800m in 400sec, and
cover 2000m in 1000 sec. A has to reach 400s earlier i.e in 600 sec,

2000
so A’s speed = = 3.33 m/s.
600

Hence, option (B) is correct.

363. If Hiten covers 1 km in x seconds, Vikash covers the same distance in (x +10) seconds.
If Hiten covers 1 km, then in the same time Priyank covers only 875 mt.

If Vikash covers 1 km in (x + 10) sec, then Priyank covers 1 km in (x + 25) sec

Thus in x seconds Priyank covers the distance of 875 mt.

x
⇒ × 1000 = x + 25
875

⇒ x = 175

Time taken by Hiten to complete 1 km = 175 seconds

Time taken by Vikash to complete 1 km = 185 seconds

Required ratio = 175 : 185 = 35 : 37

Hence, option (C) is correct.

Hence, option (A) is correct.

367. When Bolt runs 600 m, Gatlin runs 540 m.

540 × 400
Hence, when Bolt runs 400 m, Gatlin will run = = 360 m
600

Again, when Gatlin runs 500 m, Blake runs 475 m.

475 × 360
Therefore, when Gatlin runs 360 m, Blake will run = = 342 m
500

Required difference in distance between Bolt and Blake = 400 – 342 = 58 meter.

That means Bolt will beat Blake by 58 m in 400 m race.

Hence, option E is correct.

368. Distance covered by Amitabh in 2 hours = 2 × 20 = 40 km

40
Time taken by Dharmendra to overtake Amitabh = = 4 hours
30 – 20

This implies Amitabh had started 6 hrs before he was overtaken.

Distance covered by Dharmendra in this 4 hours = 30 × 4 = 120 km

120
Time take by Jitendra to cover = = 3 hours
40

It means Jitendra starts (6 – 3) = 3 hours after Amitabh.

Hence, option B is correct.

369. Approach 1:

The total time saved by them is 10 minute, which can be divided equally between the car going to the
station and coming back, i.e. 5 minute both ways.

∴ Instead of 5 pm, he must have met Sakshi at 4 : 55 pm

∵ Sakshi started walking at 4 pm, she walked for 55 minute.

Hence, option D is correct.

Approach 2:

Let the husband's speed while driving the car is 60 km/hr which means he covers 1 km in 1 minute.
Usual time taken by him while going to the station and coming back = (60 min to reach the station + 60
min to come back) = 120 minutes

In the given specific case, they saved 10 minutes time which means the husband must have taken 110
minutes.

Therefore, the time taken by the husband to meet Sakshi on the way = 110/2 = 55 minutes
Clearly, Sakshi must have walked for 55 minutes.

Option D is hence the correct answer.

370. First, we need to find Ram's average speed.

Note that we are not sure whether the distance travelled uphill and the distance travelled downhill is
the same or not because the slope uphill may or may not be equal to the slope downhill.

∴ Ram's average speed can't be together calculated.

∴ The time taken by Ram can't be calculated.

Hence Option D is correct.

375. The distance covered by X in 2 hours is 2 × 60 = 120 km

The distance remaining is 1080 km

This distance travelled before meeting is directly proportional to their speed

They meet 360 km from B. Hence, train Y must've travelled 360 km

X has travelled 720 km and Y has travelled only 360 km in the same time

This means that speed of X is twice of Y

Since speed of X is 60 kmph therefore speed of Y is 30 kmph

Hence, option D is correct.

376.

380. Shyam’s speed = 83.33% of Ram’s speed = 5/6 of Ram’s speed

Ram’s speed: Shyam’s speed = 6 : 5

We know that speed is inversely proportion to time.

So, the respective time taken by Ram and Shyam = 5 : 6

Let Ram takes 5x hours and Shyam takes 6x hours then difference will become 6x – 5x = x = 1 hour 15
minutes

So, the time taken by Ram to reach the school = 5x = 5 × (1 hour 15 minutes) = 6 hours 15 minutes

Hence, option A is correct.

381.
Total distance 60 + 90
Relative speed = = = 5 m/s
Total time 30

18
∴ 5 m/s = 5 × = 18 kmph
5

Now relative speed = speed of auto rickshaw – speed of lorry

or, 18 = 38 – speed of lorry

∴ Speed of lorry = 38 – 18 = 20 km/h

Hence, option C is correct.

382. When B started, A is ahead by 40 × 5 = 200 m

But C will catch A before the B as he is faster than the B.

Since A and C run in the same direction, relative speed of C = 60 − 40 = 20 m/min

200
∴ Time taken by C to actually catch A = = 10 mins
20

Distance actually covered by C in this duration = 10 × 60 = 600 m

Hence, option D is correct.

Hence Salman will have to travel a distance of 10 km before catching up with Govinda.

Relative speed of Salman to that of Govinda after taking U turn = 120 – 80 = 40 kmph

∴ Time taken by Salman after taking U turn to Meet Govinda = 10/40 = 15 minutes

Total time taken by Salman to meet Govinda = (3 + 15)minutes = 18 minutes

Hence, option E is correct.

384. Let the fixed charges = Rs. x (for the first 5 km) and the additional charges = Rs. y /km
As per the question,

x + 5y = 350 ....(i)

x + 20y = 800 ...(ii)

On solving eqn. (i) and (ii), we get

x = 200, y = 30

∴ Charge for a distance of 30 km.

= x + 25y = 200 + 30 × 25 = Rs. 950

Hence, option D is correct.

385. If R is the reduction in maximum speed and N is the number of passengers, then R is proportional to N
⇒ R = NK where K is constant of proportionality,

Given data: R = 20, when N = 5, hence K = 4

Maximum number of passenger that bus can’t move = (80 – N × K) = 80 – N × 4 ⇒ N = 20

So number of passenger for bust just move = 20 – 1 = 19

Hence correct option (B) is correct.

Time taken to travel from village to school at a speed of 5 km/h
x
t1 = hrs
5

Time taken to travel from school to village at a speed of 4 km/h

x
t2 = hr
4

Given: total time taken = 4 hrs 30 minute

30
t = t1 + t2 =4 hrs
60
9
t = hrs
2
x x 9
Thus, + =
5 4 2
Or, x = 10 km

∴ The distance between village and school = 10 km

Hence option B is correct.

388. Let after travelling “t” hr the two bus met each other
If the bus starting from Lucknow have travelled for time “t” hr

then bus starting from Delhi will have travelled for

20
(t + )hr
60
and so the equation
20
(15 x t) + 20 × (t + ) = 450
60
20
⇒ 15t + 20t = 450 -
3
1330
⇒ 35t =
3
38
⇒t= hr
3

Distance from Lucknow when the two bus will meet = (average speed of bus from Lucknow to Delhi ) ×
( time “t” for which it travelled
38
= 15 × km = 5 × 38 km = 190 km
3
Distance from Delhi when they meet = 450km – 190 km = 260km
Hence, option A is correct.
389. Let the average speed of the car = x km per hour

Then, the average speed of the train = 5x km per hour

According to the question,

1260 1260
– = 168
x 5x

1260 × 4 = 5x × 168

1260 × 4
x= =6
5 × 168

The speed of the train = 5x = 5 × 6 = 30 km per hour

1260
The time it will take to cover 1260 km = = 42 hours
30

Hence, option B is correct.

390. Let the speed = a km per hr

When he increases his speed by 4 km per hour

New speed = a + 4 km per hour

He stops for 15 minutes on a tea shop then he reaches 5 minutes earlier it means if he had not stopped
for 15 minutes then he would have reached 15 + 5 = 20 minutes earlier @ a + 4 km per hour

distance
We know that, time =
speed

40 40 20
– =
a a + 4 60

40 × 3(a + 4 – a) = a (a + 4)

40 × 3 × 4 = 480 = a (a + 4)

By solving, a = 20 km per hour

distance 40
Value of x = = = 2 hours
speed 20

Hence, option B is correct.

391. Let the distance covered by Divya in 1st hour be 4x km. So the speed of Divya is 4x kmph.

4x + 3x = 75% of the total distance

3
i.e. 7x = of total distance
4

28x
Total distance = km
3

Distance travelled till 8:30 AM = 4x × 2 = 8x

8x 6
Fraction of the total distance covered = =
(28x/3) 7

Hence, option C is correct.

392. Ratio of the speeds is given by = 5 : 4 : 3

For a given distance, speed and time are inversely proportional.

So, their respective time will be in the ration of 1/5 : 1/4 : 1/3 Multiplying with their LCM which is

60, we get the ratio as 12 : 15 : 20

Give: 12x + 15x + 20x = 94

x=2

Time taken by Anil to cover the distance = 2 × 15 = 30 minutes

Hence, option A is correct.

393. When Ashok and Bimal together cover 450 m distance, they meet and out of this Ashok covers :
12
= × 450 = 180
12 + 18

Bimal covers 450 – 180 = 270 m.

So they meet, Bimal covers 270 m.

When Bimal covers 3240 meters, they would have meet

3240
= 12 times
270

Hence, option A is correct.

394. Let the original time taken by Pankaj to reach point B from point A = x hours

Then, original time taken by Pratik to reach point B from point A = (x – 1.5) hours

Also

Let original speed of Pratik = y km/h

nd, y × (x – 1.5) = (y – 6) × (x – 1)

So, 45 × x = y × (x – 1.5)

y × (x – 1.5) = (y – 6) × (x – 1)

yx – 1.5y = yx – 6x – y + 6

0.5y = 6x – 6

y = 12x – 12

Therefore, 45 × x = (12x – 12) × (x – 1.5)

45x = 12x2 – 12x – 18x + 18

12x2 – 75x + 18 = 0

4x2 – 25x + 6 = 0

4x2 – 24x – x + 6 = 0

4x (x – 6) – 1 (x – 6) = 0

(4x – 1) (x – 6) = 0

1
x= ,6
4

1
Since, x = is not possible
4

So, x = 6

Therefore, speed of Pratik = 12x – 12 = 60 km/hr

Hence, option B is correct.

395. Powai---------------------------------------------------------------Juhu

Let the general average speed = S and general time taken by train = T
Journey from Powai to Juhu
General time = 70 minutes, Time taken = 56 minutes,
4
So T1 = × T
5

As distance remains same and time becomes 4/5 of the original time, speed will become 5/4 of the
original speed.
5
So S1 = × S
4

9
In return journey time taken = 90 min, T2 = × T,
7

so the speed will become 7/9 of original speed.

7
So S2 = × S
9

S1 × S2
S average = 2 ×
S1 + S2

7S 5S
56 = 2 × ×
9 4
(7/9 × S + 5/4 × S)

70
56 = ×S
73
S = 58.4 km/h
Hence, option B is correct.

396.

When A reaches point R which is in the middle of the track, B starts from point P towards Q
The distance covered after point that will be in the ratio of their speeds
RQ + QS
Therefore, =9:3
PS
RQ + QS + PS = 12 units
3
RQ + QS + PS = (2 × PQ)
4
So, PQ = 8 units and as PS = 3 units, therefore QS = 5 units
QS = 155m = 5 units → 1 unit = 31 m
PQ = 8 units = 8 × 31 = 248 m
Hence, option B is correct.
397. Distance = 2210 km

Let Original speed = k, so the return speed = k + 8

Time difference between the two journeys = 20 hrs

2210 2210
– = 20
k k+8

k2 + 8k – 884 = 0

Solving we get k = 26 km/h

Hence, option B is correct.

398.
22
Length of the track = 2 × × 441 = 2772m
7

A completes one round in 99 seconds

2772
So, speed of A = = 28 m/sec
99

Ratio of speed of A : B = 7 : 4

So, speed of B = 16 m/s

As they run towards each other, their relative speed will be (28 + 16) = 44 m/s

They meet after 55 sec

The distance covered by them in these 55 seconds = 44 × 55 = 2420 m

So, the length of major arc PRQ = 2420 m and therefore length of minor arc PQ = (2772 – 2420) = 352
m

Hence, option D is correct.

7 7

5
Speed of Arjun on slope = 25% more than original = × 84 k = 105 k
4

Let the distance travelled by them on slope be 90kx and 105kx,

Total distance travelled by them = 195 kx

The difference between the distance travelled = 50 m

105 kx – 90 kx = 50

50
15 kx = 50 → kx =

From point P, A and B move in same direction and they meet for the first time at point Q.

When they meet at Q,

A has completed one round plus distance PQ, while B has travelled only distance PQ.
So the difference between their distances travelled is one complete round or 360°
Let speeds of A and B be 5k and 1k
Difference between their distances travelled is 5k – 1k = 4k
The difference of the angle covered by them will also be in the ratio of the distance travelled by them
As A covers 360° + ∠POQ, and angle covered by B = ∠POQ

∠POQ 1
+ 360° =
∠POQ 5

1
∠POQ = 360° × = 90°
4

From point Q, A goes in same direction but B goes in opposite direction.

When they meet for the second time at point R they together complete 1 round or 360°
So, angle covered by B,
1
∠QOR = 360° × = 60°
6

From point R, A continues in the same direction and B starts moving in the opposite direction.
When they meet for the third time at point T
Again, the angle covered by B,
1
∠ROT = 360° × = 90°
4

So, the angle made by B’s final position can be found by

∠POT = ∠POQ – ∠QOR + ∠ROT = 90° – 60° + 90° = 120°

Hence, option B is correct.

401. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

402. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

In an examination x% failed in A and y% failed in B. If z% of students failed in both the subjects, the
percentage of students who passed in both the subjects is 100 – (x + y – z).

Given,

In first subject failed students = x = 30%, In second subject failed students = y = 45%

In both subject failed students = z = 20%

By the short trick approach, we get

100 – (x + y – z) = 100 – (30 + 45 – 20)

= 100 – (55) = 45%.

Hence, option (D) is correct.

403. To solve this question, we can apply a short trick approach;

x is the initial percent of water = 10%

y is required percent of water = 20%

40{(100 – 10) – (100 – 20)}

By the short trick approach, we get =
(100 – 20)

40 × (90 –80)
= = 5 litres.
80
Hence, we need to add 5 ltrs of water to make the water 20% in new mixture.
Therefore, option (A) is correct.

481. Let the initial price of Lalu be Rs. 100 per unit and Lalu's consumption be 10 units.
∴ Initial amount spent = 100 × 10 = Rs. 1,000

New price of rice = 120% of 100 = Rs. 120 and new total amount spent = 108% of 1000 = Rs. 1,080

1080
∴ New consumption = = 9 units
120

∴ Decrease in consumption = 1 unit

1
∴ % decrease = × 100 = 10%
10

Hence, option A is correct.

482. Suppose the production of the company in the year 2014 be x.

115 115 80 125

Then production of the company in year 2018= x × × × × = 1.32x
100 100 100 100

(1.32x – x) × 100
∴ Increase % in the production in year 2018 = = 32%
x

Hence, option B is correct.

483. Let the votes received by A and x & B be y.
Now as per the given statements,

x – y = 400 .......(1)

87.5 12.5
Also ( 100 )x = y + ( 100 )x ...(2)

(The votes lost by A would go into B’s account)

solving (2), we get

3
y= (4)x ....(3)

Using (3) to solve (1) we get

3
x– (4)x = 400
x = 1600

And, y = 1200

Now, we know that A & B collectively won 70% of total votes.

If the total number of registered voters in the village be Z,

70
Then, (100)Z = 1600 + 1200 = 2800
Z = 4000

Hence, option C is correct.

484. 5/6 corresponds to 83.33%.

Hence, the amount that he kept with him corresponds to 100 − (83.33 + 5 + 10) = 1.67% of the total
amount with him. This corresponds to Rs. 850

Also, because he placed 10% in debentures and he got 10% interest, amount obtained in interest =
10% of 10% of amount with him i.e. 1% of the amount with him.

(850 × 1) 3
∴ Interest earned = = 850 × = 510
1.67 5

Hence, option C is correct.

485. Original cost of a car and house = 500000 + 700000 = Rs. 12,00,000

New cost of car = 500000 × 0.85 × 0.87 × 0.89 = Rs. 329077.5

New cost of house = 700000 × 1.1 × 1.12 × 1.14 = Rs. 983136

∴ Total new cost = Rs. 13,12,213.5

∴ Change = increase of Rs. 1,12,213.5 ≈ Rs. 1,12,214

Hence, option C is correct.

486. Let the salary of Ashok to Bhanu be 4x and 9x respectively.

145
Then, 9x × = 33930
100

33930 × 100
⇒ 9x × = 2600
9 × 145

∴ Ashok's salary = 4x = 4 × 2600 = 10400

Hence, option E is correct.

487. Let the maximum marks in each subject be 100.

∴ Prasoon joshi's total score = 60% of (100 + 100 + 100) = 0.6(300) = 180

Also, 70% marks in a subject correspond to 0.7(100) = 70

Let Prashoon joshi have scored 4x, 5x and 6x in the three subjects.

∴ 4x + 5x + 6x = 180

∴ 15x = 180 i.e. x = 12

Hence, his marks in the three subjects are 48, 60 and 72 .

Hence, he has scored more than 70 in exactly one subject.

Hence, option A is correct.

488. Let the original entry fee be ‘a’ and number of people initially coming to the park be ‘b’.

Total income = a × b = ab

Now, reducing the entry fee by 35% in a park, the number of people coming to the park increased by
40%

∴ New entry fee = a - 35% of a = 0.65a

Number of people = b + 40% of b = 1.4 b

Total income = 0.65a × 1.4b = 0.91 ab

Decrease in income = ab – 0.91ab = 0.09ab

0.09 ab
% decrease in income = x 100%
ab

⇒ % decrease in income = 9%

Hence, option (C) is correct.

489. Let total number of students in the coaching be x

Then number of student in lolos batches = 25% of x = 0.25x

number of student in momos batches = 35% of x = 0.35x

number of student in jojos batches = 40% of x = 0.40x

number of passed students in lolos batches = 2% of 0.25x = 0.005x

number of passed students in momos batches = 4% of 0.35x = 0.014x

number of passed students in jojos batches = 5% of 0.40x = 0.02x

so total number of passed students = 0.005 + 0.014x + 0.02x = 0.039x

therefore number of failed students = Total number of students – total number of passed students

= x – 0.039x = 0.961x

0.961x
Hence the percentage of failed students = = 96.1%
X

Hence, option D is correct.

490. Let the particle A is formed at the rate of x% per microsecond and the particle B is formed at the rate
of y% per microsecond

Let when T = 0, then number of A particle = 4 then the number of B particle = 5

x% of 4 5
When T = 1, =
y% of 5 7

4x 5
=
5y 7

28x = 25y

x : y = 25 : 28

Therefore, let the particle A is formed at the rate of 25x% per microsecond then the particle B is
formed at the rate of 28x% per microsecond

(28x – 25x) × 100 300

The reqd. % = = = 12%
25x 25

Hence, option D is correct.

491. Let the salary of the man be 1000k

Let the children be X, Y and Z

X Y Z Total
Money received 100k 180k 220k 500k
Spent 40% = 40k 60% = 108k 25% = 55k
Money left 60k 72k 165k 297k

Money left with the man = 500k

Difference = 500k – 297k = 203k

203k = 1015

k=5

Salary of man = 1000k = Rs. 5000

Hence, option D is correct.

492. Smart Approach:-

Total savings of A and B = 50% of their total income

So, Total expenditure of A and B also will be equal to 50% of their total income

Average expenditure = Rs. 16000

So, Total expenditure = Rs. 32000 = 50% of their total income

So, Total income of A and B = Rs. (32000 × 2) = Rs. 64000

Hence option D is correct.

Alternate Method:-

Salary of A is 37.5% of the total salary of A and B.

Let the total salary of A and B = 16k

The Salary of A = (3/8) × 16k = 6k → Salary of B = 10k

B saves 60% of his salary and total savings of A and B is 50% of their total income.

Savings of B = 60% (10k) = 6k → Exp (B) = 4k

Total savings of A and B = 50% (16k) = 8k → savings (A) = 8k – 6k = 2k → Exp (A) = 2k

Their average expenditure is Rs 16000

Average expenditure of A and B = 4k = 16000 → k = 4000

Salary Expenditure Savings

A 6k 4k 2k
B 10k 4k 6k

Total salary of A and B = 16k = Rs 64000

Hence, option D is correct.

493. Let the number of students in class = 80k

Students pass in both the English and Hindi = 25% (80k) = 20k
37.5% of the students failed in both the subjects = 37.5% (80k) = 30k
60% students failed in Hindi = 60% (80k) = 48k
Students who failed in Hindi & passed in English = 48k – 30k = 18k

Students who failed in English & Passed in Hindi = 80k – (20k + 48k) = 12k

The difference between the students who passed in English and those who passed in Hindi is 15

495. ABD scored his runs only in boundaries
Let the number of fours be X and numbers of sixes be Y

Total balls played =16

X + Y = 16 ……….I

Total runs scores =86

4X + 6Y = 86…….II

Solving I AND II we get

X = 5 and Y = 11

Runs scored in boundaries = 20

20
% of runs scored in boundaries = × 100 = 23.25%
86

Hence, option A is correct.

496. Let the price of mobile be Rs. 100X

Price of mobile after 20% discount = Rs. 80X

Price after further 10% discount = Rs. 72X

72X = 36000
X = 500

Cost price of mobile = 100 × 500 = 50000

Hence, option A is correct.

497. The original weight to be bought and sold is 1000gm but he bought x% more and sold only 800gm.

So he bought 1000 × (1+ x/100) gms and sells only 800gms for every 1000 gms

He further sells at 10% above the cost price, so we can say he sells only 800 × (10/11) gms instead of
800gms

So he sells only 800 × (10/11) gms for every 1000 × (1 + x/100) gms bought which earns him a profit of
65%.

800 × (10/11) (165/100) = 1000(1 + x/100)

We get, x = 20%
Hence, option A is correct.
498. Passing marks for class X = (1225 + 125) = 1350

499.
40%
Ratio of the quantity of novels sold = =2:3
60%

40% novels are sold at 3/4th of the cost price.

So, Loss on 40% of novels = 25% = 25% (C.P is taken as Rs. 100)

Let us take profit percentage of 60% novels as x%

By Mixture and Allegation,

Profit of 40% of novels Profit of 60% novels

– 25% x%
\ /
20%
/ \
(x – 20) 20 – (– 25) = 45

Ratio = 2 : 3

So,
