Answer: B

Explanation:
Volume of pyramid= (1/3)b2 h

=(1/3) × 142 × 22=4312/3 .

Volume of sphere = (4/3)π × r3

So, (4/3)πr3 = 4312/3

{sin(90 + x) cos[π − (x − y)]} + { cos(90 + x) sin[π − (x − y)]}?

A − cos y

B − sin y

C cos x

D tan y
Answer: A

Explanation:
We know that : Sin (A + B) = SinACosB + CosASinB .

So, {sin(90 + x) cos[π − (x − y)]} + {cos(90 + x) sin[π − (x − y)]}

= Sin ((90∘ + x) + π − (x − y)) .

= Sin (90∘ + x + 180∘ − x + y) .
= Sin (270∘ + y) .
= −Cos y .
A is correct choice.

Question 55

The angle of elevation of an aeroplane from a point on the ground is 60°. After flying for 30 seconds, the angle of elevation changes to

A 50√3

B 100√3

C 200√3

D 300√3
Answer: B

Explanation:

 BD 4500
So, tan 60∘ = PD = PD .
4500
or, P D = 3 = 1500 3 m.
AC 4500
And, tan 30∘ = PC = PC .

or, P C = 4500 3m.

So, AB = CD = (P C − P D) = 4500 3 − 1500 3 = 3000 3 m.

3000 3 m m
So, Speed of plane= 30 sec = 100 3 sec .

What is the speed (in m/s) of the balloon?

A 4.25

B 3.75

C 4.5

D 3.45

Answer: B

Explanation:

PB
So, 450 3 = tan 60∘ .

or, P B = 1350 meter .

1350 meter meter

Question 62

X = Average of plastic bats manufactured by V, U and T.

Y = Wooden bats of Brand A manufactured by V.
What is the value X - Y?

A 197600

B 432890

C 260000

D 293300

Answer: C

Explanation:
Plastic bats manufactured :

U = 550000 × 0.6

V = 550000 × 0.75

T = 550000 × 0.45
550000 (0.60+0.75+0.45 )
So, Average of them(X) = 3 = 330000 .
7
And, Y = 550000 × 22 × 0.40 = 70000 .

So, X-Y = 330000 − 70000 = 260000 .

C is correct choice.

Question 63

A drum contains 80 litres of ethanol. 20 litres of this liquid is removed and replaced with water. 20 litres of this mixture is again
removed and replaced with water. How much water (in litres) is present in this drum now?

A 45

B 40

C 35

D 44

Answer: C

Explanation:
We know the formula:

X = A(1 - R/C)n

Here X = Liquid remaining after replacement

A = Total quantity of liquid before replacement

R = Quantity of replaced liquid

C = Total Capacity of drum

n = No. of times the liquid was replaced

⇒ A = 80, R = 20, C = 80 and n = 2

Putting these values in the formula,

⇒ X = 80 × (1 - 1/4) 2

⇒ X = 80 × 9/16

⇒ X = 45 litres

⇒ Amount of ethanol present after replacement = 45 litres

∴ Amount of water present after replacement = 80 - 45 = 35 litres

C is correct choice.

Question 64

An alloy is made by mixing metal A costing Rs 2000/kg and metal B costing Rs 400/kg in the ratio A:B = 3:1. What is the cost (in Rs) of
8 kilograms of this alloy?

A 1600

B 9800

C 6400

D 12800

Answer: D

Explanation:
Since Ratio in which A and B are mixed = 3 : 1

⇒ Weight of metal A in 8 kg of alloy = 3/4 × 8 = 6 kg

⇒ Weight of metal B in 8 kg of alloy = 1/4 × 8 = 2 kg

∴ Cost of 8 kg of the alloy = 2000 × 6 + 400 × 2 = Rs. 12800

Question 65

A, B and C invest to start a restaurant. The total investment was Rs 3 lakhs. B invested Rs 50,000 more than A and C invested Rs
25,000 less than B. If the profit at the end of the year was Rs 14,400 then what is C's share of the profit (in Rs)?

A 3600

B 4800

C 6000

D 7200

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to question :

B = A + 50000 and C = B − 25000 .

or, C = A + 25000

According to question :

A + (A + 50000) + (A + 25000) = 300000 .

or, 3A = 225000 .

or, A = 75000 .

So, B = 125000 and C = 100000 .

So, A's Profit:B's Profit :C's Profit = 75000 : 125000 : 100000 = 75:125:100= 3:5:4 .
4
So, C will get = 14400 × 12 = 4800 Rs .

B is correct choice.

Question 66

Two businessmen A and B invest in a business in the ratio 5 : 8. They decided to reinvest 30% of the profit they earned back into the
business. The remaining profit they distributed amongst themselves. If A's share of the profit was Rs 87,500 then how much profit (in
Rs) did the business make?

A 227000

B 250000

C 375000

D 325000

Answer: D

Explanation:
Since Ratio of investment = 5 : 8,

⇒ Ratio of profit distribution will also be = 5 : 8

Let us take the total profit = P

Since they decided to reinvest the 30% profit so remaining profit that is been distributed = 0.7P

⇒ A's share in the profit = 5/13 × 0.7P

⇒ 7P/26 = 87500

∴ P = Rs. 325000

Question 67

Working alone A can do the task in 27 hours and B can do it in 54 hours. Find C's share (in Rs) if A, B and C get paid Rs 4,320 for
completing a task in 12 hours on which they worked together.

A 1440

B 960

C 1920

D 1280

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let say, C completes the task in c hrs .
1 1 1 1
So, 27 + 54 + c = 12 .
1 1 1 1 27−12−6 1
or, c = 12 − 27 − 54 = 27×12 = 36 .
So, c=36 .
1 1 1
A's share:B's share:C's share = 27 : 54 : 36 = 4 : 2 : 3 .

Question 68

If A had worked alone he would have taken 63 hours to do the task. What is B's share, if A and B work together on a task finishing it in
36 hours and they get paid Rs 5,950 for it?

A 3400

B 3600

C 2550

D 2750

Answer: C

Explanation:
Let say, B takes b hrs to complete the task .

So, According to question :

1 1 1
b + 63 = 36 .
1 1 1 7−4 1
or, b = 36 − 63 = 4×7×9 = 84 .

or, b=84 .

So, B and A will take their shares in 63 : 84 = 3 : 4 ratio .

3
So, B's share = 5950 × 7 = 2550 .

C is correct choice.

A 22

B 44

C 20

D 40

Answer: C

Explanation:
Let say, C alone take c days to complete the work .
1 1 1 1
So, c + 55 + 66 = 12 .
1 1 1 1 55−12−10 33 1
or, c = 12 − 55 − 66 = 660 = 660 = 20 .
or, c = 20 .

C is correct choice.

Question 70

B would have taken 10 hours more than what A would have taken to complete a task if each of them worked alone. Working together
they can complete the task in 12 hours. How many hours would B take to do 50% of the task?

A 30

B 15

C 20

D 10

Answer: B

Explanation:
Let say, A took x hrs to complete the task .

So, B will take (x+10) hrs to complete it .

So, According to question :

1 1 1
x + x+10 = 12 .
or, 12 (x + x + 10) = x2 + 10x .

or, x2 − 14x − 120 = 0 .

or, x2 − 20x + 14x − 120 = 0 .

or, (x − 20) (x + 14) = 0 .

So, either x = 20 or x = −14 .

So, x should be 20 .

So, B takes 30 hrs to complete the work .

So, B will take 15 hrs to complete the 50% of work .

B is correct choice.

How many job applicants had applied if the ratio of selected to unselected was 19:17. If 1,200 less had applied and 800 less selected,
then the ratio of selected to unselected would have been 1:1.

A 6000

B 7200

C 8400

D 4800

Answer: B

Explanation:
Let s and u be the no. of candidates selected and unselected respectively.

Total candidates applied = s+u

Downloaded from cracku.in

Condition 1:

Ratio of selected to unselected was 19: 17.

s/u = (19/17)

17s= 19u ——(1)

Condition 2:

If 1200 less had applied and 800 less selected, the ratio of selected to unselected would have been 1 : 1
Total candidates applied = s+u-1200

Selected candidates = s-800

Then, unselected candidates = s+u-1200 - (s-800) = s+u-1200-s+800 = u-400

(s-800)/(u-400) = (1/1)

s-800 = u-400 —-(2)

From (1),

u = (17/19)s

Substitute in (2),

s-800 = (17/19)s -400

s= 3800

u = 3400

s+u = 3800 + 3400 = 7200

The number of applicants is 7200

A 72000

B 60000

C 50000

D 86400

Answer: B

Explanation:
Let the salaries of A, B and C are A, B and C respectively.
⇒ (A+B)/(A-B)=11/1.
And,
(B+C)/(B-C)=11/1.
Applying componendo and dividendo,
⇒ A : B : C = 36 : 30 : 25

Let A = 36x, B = 30x and C = 25x

Given A + B + C = 182000
⇒ 91x = 182000

⇒ x = 2000
∴ B = 30 × 2000 = Rs. 60000
B is correct choice.
