Acc. to question,
=> 12*45+x*28 = 1400*125/100
=> 28x = 1750-540 4. Ans. C.
x = 43(approx) The total interest given is same; this means the
2. Ans. B. total rate percent is same,
6*t=5*(t+1)=6t=5t+5=t=5
Let Vimal’s expense be ₹ 100.
Amount = 3900, time=5 years and rate of interest
∴ Aman’s expense = ₹ 130
= 6%
Sum=100A/(100+RT)=3900*100/(100+6*5)=
And Raman’s expense =
Rs.3000
5. Ans. B.
Let the speed of a boat & stream be x & y kmph.
=₹ According to question
25/(x-y)+39/(x+y)=8 …………(i)
∴ Ratio of the expense of Vimal, Aman and Raman &
respectively 35/(x-y)+52/(x+y)=11………..(ii)
From (i) and (ii)
= 100 : 130 : x=9, y=4
Hence speed of stream, y=4
= 90 : 117 : 100
6. Ans. B.
Let the unit digit be x.
∴ Aman’s expense = In a two digit number, the ten’s digit is 2 more than
the square of unit digit.
So, the ten’s digit = x2 + 2.
= = ₹ 2457 So, the number = 10(x2 + 2) + x
= 10x2 + 20 + x
3. Ans. C. And, the reverse number = 10x + (x2 + 2)
Suppose original fraction is = 10x + x2 + 2
According to the question, we can write,
(10x2 + 20 + x) – (10x + x2 + 2) = 18
⇒ 9x2 – 9x = 0
⇒ x2 – x = 0
⇒ x(x - 1) = 0
Then, x = 0 or x = 1
So, the value of unit digit = 1
Then, the ten’s digit = 2 + 12 = 3
∴ The original number = 31
7. Ans. A.
Let the amount deposited for her two daughters are
A and B respectively.
Now,
A(1+4/100)^5 = B(1+4/100)^7
A/B= (1+4/100)^(7-5=2)
A/B= (26/25)^2
A/B= 676/625
A+B = 676+625= 1301 but total sum is 2 times of
A+B = 2602
Therefore Amount deposited into the account of

Time taken by these two pipes to fill the tank =

Therefore, work done by (two pipes + leak) in 1 hr

And total number of gold bands = 9 – 1= 8
The highest common factor is therefore (5 ×59) =
Now, if on the 3rd draw, Gold band is drawn then

Then, (Sandip + Suman + Palash)’s 1 day’s work = So, (Sandip + Suman)’s 1 day’s work = 1/16
(1/16) + (1/40) = 7/80 Palash’s 1 day’s work = 1/40
⇒ 2 × Sandip’s 1 day’s work = 7/80 Sandip can finish a work in the same time in which
⇒ Sandip’s 1 day’s work = 7/160 Suman and Palash together can finish the same
Then, Suman’s 1 day’s work = (1/16) – (7/160) = work.

Now, we can write, A : B = 3000 : 1250 = 12 : 5

96000/(60000 – 5000x) = 12/5 Now, we can write,
⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 96000 × (5/12) 96000/(60000 – 5000x) = 12/5
⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 8000 × 5 ⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 96000 × (5/12)
⇒ 5000x = 60000 – 40000 ⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 8000 × 5
⇒ x = 20000/5000 ⇒ 5000x = 60000 – 40000

⇒ 3x2 + x – 30 = 0
⇒ 3x2 + 10x – 9x – 30 = 0

Hence CP of book = 200*20=4000 Equivalent capital of A
CP of pen = 300*20=6000 = Rs. 8000 × 12
23. Ans. A. = Rs. 96000
A started a business with investing Rs. 8000 and Let B joined after x months.
after some months, B joined with investing Rs. So, equivalent capital of B
5000. = Rs. 5000 × (12 – x)
Equivalent capital of A = Rs. 60000 – 5000x
= Rs. 8000 × 12 Total profit after one year = Rs. 4250
= Rs. 96000 Share of A = Rs. 3000. Then, the share of B = Rs.
Let B joined after x months. 4250 – 3000 = Rs. 1250
So, equivalent capital of B So, the ratio of their share;
= Rs. 5000 × (12 – x) A : B = 3000 : 1250 = 12 : 5
= Rs. 60000 – 5000x Now, we can write,
Total profit after one year = Rs. 4250 96000/(60000 – 5000x) = 12/5
Share of A = Rs. 3000. Then, the share of B = Rs. ⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 96000 × (5/12)
4250 – 3000 = Rs. 1250 ⇒ 60000 – 5000x = 8000 × 5

Therefore the game will not end up in a tie when
India wins & Australia loses or India loses & India 29. Ans. D.
wins.
Let Tanvi’s age be x years.
P(Either India will win or Australia will win)
∴ Tarun’s age = x/2
P(Ind and ) + P( and Aus) ∴ Vishal’s age is x/4 years
After four years,
P(Ind)*P( ) + P( )*P(Aus) = ( * ) + ( * ) =
7/20
27. Ans. C.
Let the normal time required to reach the
destination = x hours.
Total distance = 450 km
Now, according to the question, we can write,

30. Ans. C.
⇒
⇒ 450 + 1350x – 1350x = 15 × x(3x + 1) Let the normal time required to reach the
⇒ 450x = 45x2 + 15x destination = x hours.
⇒ 3x2 + x – 30 = 0 Total distance = 450 km
⇒ 3x2 + 10x – 9x – 30 = 0 Now, according to the question, we can write,
⇒ x(3x + 10) – 3(3x + 10) = 0
⇒ (3x + 10)(x – 3) = 0
Then, x = - 10/3 or x = + 3
We will ignore the negative value of x as the time
cannot be negative.
∴ The normal time required to reach the destination ⇒
= 3 hours.
⇒ 450 + 1350x – 1350x = 15 × x(3x + 1)
