2. Answer: B 7. Answer: C
a/b = 2/3 According to the question,
b/c = 3/4 [5x/(3x – 40)] = 25/13
c/d = 2/3 * 2/2 = 4/6 13x = 15x – 200
e/d = 2/1 2x = 200
d/e = 1/2 * 3/3 * 2/2 = 6/12 x = 100
a: b: c: d: e = 2: 3: 4: 6: 12 The total number of males in the company = 5x
= 500
3. Answer: D
Initial number of female employees = 100x 8. Answer: C
Number of male employee = 100x * 160/100 = 3x + 100 + 4x + 100 + 5x + 100 = 2430
160x => x = Rs.177.5
Required ratio = 160x * 75/100:100x * 140/100 Money received by C = 5x + 100 = Rs.987.5
= 6:7
9. Answer: B
4. Answer: B Ratio = 5: 4: 3
2 * 10x - (9x + 7x) = 1600 Let the salaries be 500, 400 and 300.
20x – 16x = 1600 New ratio = (105/100 * 500): (115/100 * 400):
x = 400 (125/100 * 300)
Required difference = 400 * (10 – 9) = 400 * 1 = = 525: 460: 375
400 = 105: 92: 75

12 Then 4x + 2y = 2(x + y) + 30
Number of girls like Maths = 25/100 * 16 = 4 => 2 x = 30
Number of boys like Maths = 12 – 4 = 8 => x = 15
4. Answer: C 8. Answer: E
A = 120/100 * B The ratio of weight = 7: 11: 6: 4 (7x, 11x, 6x, 4x)
A/B = 6/5 Average weight = 84 kg
C = 80/100 * A =>(7x + 11x + 6x + 4x)/4 = 84
C/A = 4/5 =>28x/4 = 84
A:B:C = 30:25:24 =>x = 12
A + B + C = 3950 * 3 = 11850 Required sum = (7 * 12) + (6 * 12) = 156 kg
C’s income = 24/79 * 11850 = 3600

1. Answer: A 3. Answer: E
Savings of Amal = Rs.13000 Red in A = 7x
Expenditure of Amal = 48/52 * 13000 = Yellow in A = 4x
Rs.12000 Red in B = 7x + 4
Income of Amal = 13000 + 12000 = Rs.25000 Yellow in B = 75/100 * 4x = 3x
Expenditure of Vimal = 12000 * 2/1 = 24000 7x + 4x + 7x + 4 + 3x = 88
Income of Vimal = 25000 * 6/5 = Rs.30000 21x = 84
Savings of Vimal = 30000 – 24000 = Rs.6000 x=4

2. Answer: B
Let the number of coins of Rs. 2 = 8x 4. Answer: B
And the number of coins of 50 paise = 6x Number of girls = 4x
And the number of coins of Rs. 1 = 5x Number of boys = 75/100 * 4x = 3x
So, value of Rs. 2 coins = 8x × 2 = 16x (3x + 21)/(4x + 18) = 4/5
And the value of 50 paise coins = 6x × 0.50 = 16x + 72 = 15x + 105
3x x = 33
And the value of Rs. 1 coins = 5x × 1 = Rs. 5x Total number of students = 7 * 33 = 231
So, according to the question,
16x + 3x + 5x = 408 5. Answer: B
24x = 408 The number of sweets in three boxes be 3x, 5x
x = 17 and 6x respectively.
This, the total number of coins = (8x + 6x + 5x) (3x+12 )/( 5x+12) = 19/29
= 19x = 19 × 17 => 323 29(3x+12) = 19 (5x+12)

3) Answer: B 6) Answer: A
Let the two digit number be 10x + y Numerator = 5x
Number obtained by reversing the digit = 10y + Denominator = 6x
x (5x * 120/100)/(6x + 9) = 10/13
According to question 78x = 60x + 90
7 x (10x + y) = 4 x (10y + x) x=5
70x + 7y = 40y + 4x Numerator = 5 * 5 = 25

9x – 72 = 8x – 60 be 4x
x = 12 When 20 women resigned,
Number of girls = 3 * 12= 36 3x / (4x – 20) = 1/1
x = 20
2) Answer: A New ratio is 2 : 1
Boys: Girls = 4: 5 60 + a / 80 + b = 2 / 1
Unlike Tamil = 4 * 80/100 : 5 * 70/100 a – 2 b = 100 ---> (1)
= 32: 35 a + b = 160 ---> (2)
a = 140; b = 20
3) Answer: A Required ratio = 140 : 20 =>7 : 1
Number of boys passed the exam = 360 * 4/3 = 6) Answer: D
480 Punit divided among employees = Rs. 4977
Number of girls passed the exam = 360 The ratio of shares of group of men, women and
Number of girls in the college = 300 * 2/1 = 600 boys are,
Number of boys in the college = 300 * 3/1 = 900 = (6 × 7) : (9 × 6) : (10 × 3)
Required ratio = (900 – 480):(600 – 360) = 42 : 54 : 30
= 420:240 =7:9:5
= 7:4 Now, the share of 6 men = 4977 × 7/21 = Rs.
4) Answer: C 1659
Required ratio = 6 * 140/100: 5 * 160/100 So, the share of a man = 1659/6 = Rs. 276.5
=21:20 And the share of 9 women = 4977 × 9/21 = Rs.
2133
So, the share of a woman = 2133/9 = Rs. 237 The total number of employees in the company
Thus, the required difference is = 276.5 – 237 = = (5 + 3) * 9 = 72

2000 = 9x
Number of female population in A = 5/4 * 2000 The number of girls in school B = 5x * 120/100
= 2500 = 6x
Number of female population in B = 2500 + 1100 = Required ratio = 9x:6x = 3:2

Number of boys = 75/100 * 4x = 3x (11x + 8)/(14x + 4) = 15/16
(3x + 21)/(4x + 18) = 4/5 210x + 60 = 176x + 128
16x + 72 = 15x + 105 x=2
x = 33 Initial strength of class = 25 * 2 = 50
Total number of students = 7 * 33 = 231 New strength = 50 + 8 + 4 = 62
Required percentage = (62 – 50)/50 * 100
4) Answer: B = 24%
5x + 20 / 4x + 30 = 9/10
36x + 270 = 50x + 200 8) Answer: E
14x = 70 (9x - 15)/(7x + 15) = 3/5
x=5 21x + 45 = 45x – 75
Number boys = 5 * 5 = 25 x=5
Required difference = 9x – 7x = 2x
5) Answer: A = 2 * 5 = 10
Let the number of girls in the class initially = x
And the number of boys in the class initially = (x 9) Answer: B
+ 100) (3x + 18)/(4x + 16) = 9/10
The ratio of the number of boys to girls in the 36x + 144 = 30x + 180
class finally = 150:100 = 3:2 6x = 36
(x + 100 – 65)/(x + 10) = 3/2 x=6
(x + 35) * 2 = (x + 10) * 3 Number of girls = 4 * 6 = 24
2x + 70 = 3x + 30
x = 40 10) Answer: C
Total weight of student=20 * 18=360 kg
6) Answer: C New weight of the students=(20 + 3) * (18 +
Required ratio = (2 + (2 * 50/100):(3 – (3 * 2)=460
20/100)) Weight of two new students=460 – 360=100 kg

Total worth of the share = Rs.1720 So, either 6X=[16000*8/16]*15 or
3(6x) +4(4x)+9x =1720 6X=[14000*12/21]*15
6) Answer: C 9) Answer: C
C = 300 The share of A is 5 times the share of C
According to the question: A/C =5/1
B + 10% of 300 = 300 - 10% of 300 The share of B is twice that of the share of C.
B = 240 B/C =2/1
And, A + 20% of 240 = 240 - 20% of 240 Therefore, the share of A, B, and C are in the
A = 144 ratio of 5:2:1
Ration A:B= 144:240 8part-->24000
A:B = 3:5 1part--> 3000

Total number of girls = 3/5 * 120 = 72 4) Answer: A
Total number of boys = 2/5 * 120 = 48 Class A=x*20/100=20x/100
Chocolates received by each girl = 4x Remaining chocolates=x-20x/100=80x/100
Chocolates received by each boy = 4x * Class B=80x/100*10/100=8x/100
125/100 = 5x Remaining
72 * 4x + 5x * 48 = 2112 chocolates=80x/100*90/100=72x/100

1) Answer: A 4) Answer: A
Amount received by insurance company Value of x = 2/3 * 15 = 10%
=12000*25/100*90/100=Rs.2700 Value of y = 5/3 * 15 = 25%
Cost price of mobile = 2700 * 11/9 = Rs.3300 Total number of books =n
MP * 90/100 = CP * 125/100
2) Answer: B 90MP = 125CP
Value of x = 9/4 * 320 = Rs.720 MP/CP = 25/18
Value of y = 5/4 * 320 = Rs.400 SP of 75% of books = 75/100 * n * 95/100 * MP
Total CP = 720 * 75 = Rs.54000 = 57MPn/80
Total SP = 15 * 400 + (75 – 15) * 990 = 65400 Required Loss percentage = (18k * n - (57 * n *
Required % = (65400 – 54000)/54000 * 100 = 25k/80))/(18k * n) * 100
21% = 1.041% loss
