Explanations:
1. Percentage of milk in mixture X = 87.5%

So, ratio of milk to water in mixture X = 7 : 1

Let the initial quantity of milk and water in mixture X be ‘7a’ litres and ‘a’ litres

As milk and water both become 50% each,

So, a + 12 = 7a ; 6a = 12 ; a = 2 litres

So, initial quantity of mixture X = (7a + a) = 8a = 16 litres

Quantity of milk in mixture Y = 16 litres

3
So, quantity of water in mixture Y = × 16 = 12 liters
4

Hence, option E is correct.

2.

Hence, option (B) is correct.

7. Let the total work = 672 units (LCM of 24, 28 and 32)

672
Amount of work done by A in one day = = 21 units
32

672
Amount of work done by B in one day = = 28 units
24

672
Amount of work done by C in one day = = 24 units
28
 A worked for x days, B worked for 4x – 2 – (x + 1) = 3x – 3 days and C worked for 4x – 2 days

So, according to the question: 21x + 28 (3x – 3) + 24 (4x – 2) = 672

21x + 84x – 84 + 96x – 48 = 672

201x – 132 = 672

201x = 804 ; x = 4

So, the value of x2 – 2x + 20 = 42 – 8 + 20 = 28

Hence, option B is correct.

8. Let, the length of the park = ‘x’ m

Then, the breadth of the park = x – 22 m

So, 2 × (x + x – 22) = 228

2x – 22 = 114

2x = 136 , x = 68

Therefore, the length of the park = 68 m

And, the breadth of the park = (68 – 22) m = 46 m

So, area of the path = (68 × 46 – 62 × 40) = (3128 – 2480) = 648 m2

And, area of each marble = 45 × 36 = 1620 cm2 = 0.162 m2

Number of marbles required

648
= = 4000
0.162

Hence, option C is correct.

Common explanation (9 – 13) :

The number of boxes, a shopkeeper divides all the chocolates evenly into, will be minimum if the number of
chocolates in each box is maximum. That will be possible only when the number of chocolates in each box is
HCF of the number of two types of chocolates.

So, the number of chocolates in each box with A = HCF (140, 91) = 7

231
Number of boxes of with shopkeeper A = = 33
7

Similarly, calculating number of chocolates and boxes for all the five shops we get

Total
Shopkeeper Munch Perk HCF Boxes
Chocolates
A 140 91 7 231 33
B 99 220 11 319 29
C 63 108 9 171 19
D 117 143 13 260 20
E 105 255 15 360 24
Total 524 817 55 1341 125

9. Following the common explanation, we get

The total number of perk chocolates = 817

Hence, option C is correct.

10. Following the common explanation, we get

Total number of chocolates = 1341

Hence, option B is correct.

11. Following the common explanation, we get

Total number of boxes = 125

Hence, option D is correct.

12. Following the common explanation, we get

Total number of boxes with B and C = (29 + 19) = 48

Total number of boxes with A and E = (33 + 24) = 57

Required ratio = 48 : 57 = 16 : 19

Hence, option C is correct.

13. Following the common explanation, we get

Difference between perk chocolates with B and D = (220 – 143) = 77

Difference between Munch chocolates between A and E = (140 – 105) = 35

77
Reqd. % = × 100 = 220%
35

Hence, option B is correct.

14. Let the principal amount deposited on compound interest be Rs. p

Amount accumulated after 3 years = p × 1.13

Amount accumulated after 2 years = p × 1.12

So, p × 1.13 – p × 1.12 = 968

1.331p – 1.21p = 968

0.121p = 968

p = Rs.8000

8000 × x × 5
So, 3200 =
100

x=8

Hence, option C is correct.

15. 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 and, 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.

16. Statement I : Blue = x + 2, Green = 4, Red = x – 3

We don’t know the number of red balls so; we can’t calculate the probability of drawing a red ball.

So, the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Statement II : The total number of Blue and Red balls is 220/3 % of the total balls.
11
Blue + Red = × (Total balls)
15

But we don’t know the number of total balls so we can’t calculate the probability of drawing a red ball.

So, the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Using Statement I and Statement II

11
Blue + Red = × (Total balls)
15
11
x+2+x–3= × (x + 2 + 4 + x – 3) → x = 6
15

Thus, the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question

Hence, option D is correct.

17. Statement I : Let the distance PQ = 2p

So, when A completes p km, B has completed (2p – 280) km

But, as we don’t know the value of p we can’t calculate the ratio of their speeds.

So, the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Statement II : Speed of a train = 36 km/h then time to cover PQ = 20 hrs

Therefore PQ = 36 × 20 = 720 km

But we can’t, find the ratio of speeds of A and B.

So, the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Using Statement I and Statement II

PQ = 2p = 720 km

p = 360 km and 2p – 280 = 440 km

So, the ratio of speeds of A and B = 360 : 440 = 9 : 11

Thus, the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question
Hence, option D is correct.
18. Statement I : Let the age of ram 3 yrs later be k yrs

So age of Shyam 5 yrs ago was k yrs

5 yrs ago Present 3 yrs later
Ram k–8 k–3 K
Shyam k k+5 k+8

But, we can’t find the present age of Shyam

So, the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Statement II : The difference between the age of Ram and Shyam 9 years later will be 8 years.

Still we can’t find age of shyam

So, the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Using Statement I and Statement II

Present age of ram and shyam is k – 3 and k + 5, so the difference in their age is 8 yrs
Statement II also says their age difference is 8 yrs
Thus the data given in both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question

Hence, option E is correct.

3
19. Statement I : Total investment of A = 40,000 × 6 + × 40,000 × 18 = Rs. 13,20,000
2

But we don’t know the investment of B so we can’t find their profit ratio.

So, the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Statement II : Let the amount put by B be k

So, the total investment = k × 14 + (k – 6,000) × 10 = 24 k – 60,000

B receives Rs. 4559 out of a total profit of Rs. 15229
So, A receives Rs. 10670
The ratio of profit and investment of A and B = 10670 : 4559 = 110 : 47
But, as we don’t know the investment of A or B we can’t find the total investment.
So, the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Using Statement I and Statement II

Ratio of investment = 110 : 47
47
Investment of A = 13, 20, 000 , so investment of B = × 13,20,000 = 5,64,000
110

24k – 60,000 = 5,64,000 → k = Rs 26,000

So, the total investment of A and B = Rs. (40,000 + 26,000) = Rs. 66,000

Thus, the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question

Hence, option D is correct.

20. Statement I :
2011 2012 2013 total
Population at end 40,000
Births 10,000
Deaths

The total number of births = 2 × 5000 = 10,000

1
Deaths in 2013 = × Population at the end of 2012
6

We can’t find the population at the end of 2013 from this information.

So, the data in statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Statement II: Deaths in 2012 = 10% (40,000) = 4,000

Births in 2012 = 6,000

Population at the end of 2012 = 40,000 + 6,000 – 4,000 = 42,000

2011 2012 2013 total

Population at end 40,000 42000
Births 6000 10,000
Deaths 4000

But we still can’t find the population at the end of 2013

So, the data in statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question

Using Statement I and Statement II

Births in 2012 = 6,000 → births in 2013 = 10,000 – 6,000 = 4,000

Death in 2012 = 4,000

Population at the end of 2012 = 42,000

1
Deaths in 2013 = × 42,000 = 7000
6

Population at the end of 2013 = 42,000 – 7,000 + 4,000 = 39,000

2011 2012 2013 total

Population at end 40,000 42000 39,000
Births 6000 4000 10,000
Deaths 4000 7000

Thus, the data in both the statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question

Hence, option D is correct.

21. Let, the speed of boatman in still water and stream speed = ‘B’ km/hr and ‘s’ km/hr respectively

According to the question,

(B + s) = 1.5 (B – s)

2.5s = 0.5B

B = 5s

x + 40 x − 40
Also, + = 20
B+s B−s

(x + 40) (B – s) + (x – 40) (B + s) = 20 (B + s) (B – s)

B = 5s

(x + 40) (4s) + (x – 40) (6s) = 20 (6s) (4s)

x + 40
Also, = 12
B

x + 40 = 60s

(x + 40) (x + 40) (x − 40) (x + 40) 8 (x + 40) (x + 40)

+ =
15 10 60

4(x + 40)2 + 6 (x – 40) (x + 40) = 8 (x + 40)2

6 (x – 40) (x + 40) = 4 (x + 40)2

3x – 120 = 2x + 80

3x – 2x = 120 + 80

x = 200

Hence, option D is correct.

Common explanation (22 – 26) :

3
Girls in section A, B and C = 150% of boys = × boys
2

3
Girls in section A = × 200 = 300
2
 4
Girls in section D and E = 80% of boys = × boys
5

4
Girls in section D = × 210 = 168
5

Similarly, calculating number of girls in each section we get

Section Boys Girls Total

A 200 300 500
B 150 225 375
C 170 255 425
D 210 168 378
E 225 180 405
Total 955 1128 2083

22. Following the common explanation, we get

Total number of boys in five sections = 955

955
Average number of boys = = 191
5

Hence, option B is correct.

23. Following the common explanation, we get

Total number of girls in section C and E = (255 + 180) = 435

Total number of boys in section B and D = (150 + 210) = 360

Required ratio = 435 : 360 = 29 : 24

Hence, option D is correct.

24. Following the common explanation, we get

The difference between the number of boys in section A and C = (200 – 170) = 30

Number of boys in section D = 210

30
Reqd. % = × 100 = 14.29%
210

Hence, option C is correct.

25. Following the common explanation, we get

Total number of girls in all the five sections = 1128

Hence, option B is correct.

26. Following the common explanation, we get

Total strength of all the five sections = 2083

Hence, option C is correct.

27. Let the ages of A and B five years ago were 5x years and 8x years respectively

So, the present ages of A and B are ‘5x + 5’ years and ‘8x + 5’ years respectively
5x +5 20x + 20
Present age of D = = years
0.75 30

20x + 20 20x + 50
Age of D after 10 years = +10 = years
3 3

20x + 50 9
Age of C after 10 years = × = (6x + 15) years
3 10

Present age of C = (6x + 15 – 10) = 6x + 5 years

According to the question

20x + 20
5x + 5 + 8x + 5 + 20x + + 6x + 5 = 4 × 37.5
3

77x + 65 = 450

77x = 385 ; x = 5

So, the present age of B = (8 × 5 + 5) = 45 years

Present age of C = (6 × 5 + 5) = 35 years

So, the difference between the ages of B and C = (45 – 35) = 10 years

Hence, option C is correct.

28. Sum of the ages of the 15 students in the class = 24 × 15 = 360 years

Sum of the ages of 15 students along with class teacher and principal = 26 × 17 = 442 years

Sum of the ages of the class teacher and the principal = (442 – 360) years = 82 years
82 + 18 82 − 18
So, the age of the class teacher = either or
18 2

Hence, option (D) is correct.

552
30. 8 × 102 + 17 × – 182 = (?)2 + (16)2
136

552
⇒ (?)2 + (16)2 = 8 × (10)2 + 17 × – (18)2
136

⇒ (?)2 + 256 = 800 + 69 – 324

⇒ (?)2 + 256 = 869 – 324

⇒ (?)2 = 289

⇒ (?)2 = (17)2

∴ ? = 17

Hence, option (C) is correct.

31. ?2 + 122 × 24 ÷ 4 – 729 = 8 × √2304

or, ?2 + (12)2 × 6 – 729 = 8 × 48

or, ?2 = 384 – 144 × 6 + 729

or, ?2 = 384 – 864 + 729 = 249

∴ ? = √249

Hence, option C is correct.

32. ? = {(62% of 950) ÷ (722 ÷ 38)} × (54% of 550 – 27 × 11)

? = (589 ÷ 19) × (297 – 297)

? = 31 × 0

?=0

Hence, option A is correct.

33. ? = 43% of (24 ×100) – 292 + ∜4096

? = 43% of 2400 – 841 + 8

? = 1032 – 841 + 8

? = 199

Hence, option B is correct.

34. Since there are 15 boys in a class of 25, there have to be 10 girls.

40. Let the total bill be Rs. x

∴ A paid Rs. 0.4x

Since B paid 50% of the balance, B paid Rs. 0.5(0.6x) = Rs. 0.3x

Bill left now = Rs. (x − 0.4x − 0.3x) = Rs. 0.3x

Since C paid 60% of this, D would have the remaining 40% of it.

∴ C paid 0.6(0.3x) = Rs. 0.18x and D paid Rs. 0.12x

This corresponds to Rs. 924

∴ 0.12x = 924

∴ Difference in amounts paid by A and C = Rs. (0.4x − 0.18x) = Rs. 0.22x

(924 × 0.22)
∴ Reqd. difference = = Rs. 1694
0.12

Hence, option B is correct.
