Section 1 - Aptitude
Q1
150

Solution

40% of numb = 60

60% of 150 = 90

90+60 = 150

0.60X + 60 = X

0.4X = 60

X = 600/4

X = 150

Q2
10

Solution

daughter weight is x

infant weight is 60% less than daughter i.e., 0.4x

mother weight is (x+0.4x+46)

total weight = x + 0.4x + (x+0.4X+46) = 74

solving the eq. x = 10

Q3
102660

Solution

Let he bought x marbles.

59 marbles costs = Rs. 2M

Therefore, x marbles costs = Rs. (2M * x) / 59

Since the marble is divided into 2 equal parts so the number x should be an even number.

For first x/2 marbles,

29 marbles s.p. is = Rs. M

Therefore, x/2 marbles s.p. = Rs. (M * x) / 58

For other x/2 marbles,

30 marbles s.p. is = Rs. M

Therefore, x/2 marbles s.p. = Rs. (M * x) / 60

Now we can't equate like [(M * x) / 58] + [(M * x) / 60] = (2M x) / 59

because (M *x ) will get cancel each side and of course 1/58 + 1/60 is not equal to 2/59
 So here we don't need M and we can cancel it. After that we have,

CP = 2x/59

For first x/2 marbles,

SP = x/58

And for other x/2 marbles,

SP = x/60

Now this CP and SP must be an integer (as per question). So we have to find a number x which will be divisible simultaneously by 59, 58

and 60. So we have to

find the LCM of 59, 58, 60 which will turn out minimum value as 102660 and it is even as well. So the value of x will be 102660 minimum

Q4
2

Solution

16100 * 125135 = (24)100 * (53)135

= 2400 * 5405 = 2400 *5400 * 55

= (2*5)400 *3125

=10400 * 3125

sum of 10400= 1+0 + 0+ 0+ ...... = 1

sum of 3125 = 11

Therefore= 1 * 11 = 11

= 1 + 1= 2

Q5
2700

Solution

The candidate wants to write from 100 to 999.

He has to write 900 numbers of three digits.

Total number of times = 3 × 900 = 2700.

Q6
17:35

Solution

Given, x : y = 4 : 5

Let, x/y = 4/5 = k⇒ x/4 = y/5 = k∴ x = 4k, y = 5k

Given expression,
 (3x + y) : (5x + 3y) = (3x+y)/(5x+3y)

=[(3×4k)+5k]/[(5×4k)+(3×5k)]

=(12k+5k)/(20k+15k) = 17k/35k = 17/35= 17 : 35

Q7
8000, 5000

Solution

Annual incomes of Aashu and Pinky are in the ratio = 8 : 5.

Annual Incomes = 8X : 5X.

Savings of each = Rs.500.

Annual expenses (Annual incomes - savings) = 8X - 500 : 5X - 500.

Annual expenses given in the problem = 5:3.

(8X - 500) : (5X - 500) : : 5 : 3

3(8X - 500) = 5 (5X - 500).

24X - 1500 = 25X - 2500

=» X = 1000.

Annual income of Aashu = 8 x 1000 = Rs.8000 and Annual income of Pinky = Rs.5000.

Q8
60

Solution

Let the number of students be 3x, 4x and 5x.

Then (3x + 15) : (4x + 15) : (5x +15) = 6 : 7 : 8

(3x+15) : (4x+15) : (5x+15) = 6:7:8

=> 7(3x +15) = 6(4x + 15)

 X=5

Total number of students before increase = >12x = 60

Q9
12

Solution

By replacing the “?” with “x”

(12.5×14÷8.75) x (100/100) + 42 = 50 + X

(125*140)/875 + 42 = 50 + X

140/7 + 42 = 50 + X

20 + 42 = 50 + X

62 = 50 + X

X = 62 - 50

X = 12

Q10
80578

Solution

(217)2+(183)2

= (200+17)2+(200−17)2

It is in the form of (a+b)2+(a−b)2=2(a2+b2)

= 2(40000 + 289) = 80578.

Q11
114

Solution

Given,115÷5+12*6=x + 64÷4-35

By BODMAS rule,we can solve this.

 By BODMAS rule,

Bracket - Of - Division - Multiplication - Addition - Subtraction

So,

Therefore required value of x is 114.

Q12
Rs.198

Solution

Let the consumption in July = x litres.

=> price of petrol = Rs. 200/x

=> Petrol bill in August = (0.9x) × (1.10) × 200/x = Rs. 198.

Q13
49.6%

Solution

Let the retail price = Rs.100

then, commission = Rs.36

S.P. = Rs.(100 - 36) = Rs.64

given, profit = 8.8%

C.P. = Rs.(100/108.8) * 64 = Rs.1000/17

new commission = Rs.(36 - 24) = Rs.12

new S.P. = Rs.(100 - 12) = Rs.88

 gain = Rs.(88 - (1000/17)) = Rs.496/17

gain% = (496/17) * (17/1000) * 100% = 49.6%

Q14
Rs. 25000

Solution

Let cost price of first(cheaper) be x. Then cost price of second(costlier) is x+5000.

Total Selling price of first (cheaper) = 1.3 x.

Total selling price of second (costlier) = (x +5000) 1.2 = 1.2x + 6000.

Difference = 6000 - 0.1x = 4000.

0.1x = 2000

=> x = 20000

Thus, cost price of second(costlier)= 20000+5000 = Rs.25000

The correct answer is Option (4)

Q15
64%

Solution

To find the single effective discount rate, we need to determine the final price after all the discounts and compare it to the original price.

The final price after all the discounts is 90% of 80% of 50% of the original price.

So, the single effective discount rate can be calculated as follows:

100% - (90% * 80% * 50%)

= 100% - (0.9 * 0.8 * 0.5)

= 100% - 0.36 = 64%

The single effective discount rate is 64%.

Q16
Rs 140
 Solution

Let the annual payment be Rs. P

the amount of Rs p in 4 years at 5% =100P + 4 × 5P/100 =120 P/100

The amount of RS p in 3 years at 5% =115P/100

The amount of Rs P in 2 years at 5% =110P/100

The amount of Rs P In 1 years at 5% =105P/100

These four amounts together with the last annual payment of Rs P will discharge the debt of Rs 770

120P/100 + 115P/100 + 110P/100 + 105P/100 + P =770

550 P/100 =770

P =770 × 100/550 =140

Hence annual payment =Rs 140

Q17
7000000

Solution

Based on the formula, If X is the population in 1920, -

then population in 1923 = X × (107/100)3 = 8575301

=> X = 7000000.

Q18
None of these

Solution

200000x(1.08)3 = 251942.4

Q19
1320 Km

Solution

Let one of the train travels x km, then other will travel (120 + x) km.

Then, time taken by both trains to cover these distance would be equal.

x/50= (x+120)/60

6x= 5x + 600

x= 600 Km

Hence total distance= 2x +120 = 1200 + 120= 1320 Km

Q20
21 km

Solution
 D/6 – 40/60 = d/8 +12/60

d/6 – d/8 = 12/60+40/60

(8-6)d/48 = 52/60

2d/48 = 52/60

D = 52*48/60*2 = 20.8 = 21km

Q21
6 hours 54 min

Solution

Since he is taking a rest after every one Km.

Therefore time consumed in taking Rest in 27 km = 26*9= 234 min= 3.9 hours

Time taken to cover 27 km without rest= 3 hours

Total time taken= 3 + 3.9= 6.9 hours= 6 hours 54 min

Q22
50 min

Solution

No Solution

Q23
93%

Solution

Here, x = 40 and y = 30;

Therefore second number

= [[( 100 + y)/ (100 + x )] x 100 ]% of first number

= [[( 100 + 30)/ (100 + 40 )] x 100 ]% of first number

= 92.8% of the first

Q24
12

Solution

(80/100) * 40 – (4/5) * 25

32 - 20 = 12

Q25
500

Solution

Given that the student got 125 marks and still he failed by 40 marks

The minimum pass mark = 125 + 40 = 165

 Given that minimum pass mark = 33% of the total mark

Total mark =33/100 =165

Total mark = 16500/33 = 500

Q26
66.66%

Solution

Let the Average earning of Sahara member be 5x, and total earning be 5y.

Ambani Sahara

Average earning 4x 5x

No of family members k l

Total earning 6y 5y

Average earning * Number of family members =total earning l = 5y/5x =y/x k =6y/4x

Required percentage =l/k* 100 =(y/x) /6y/4x *100=4/6 * 100 =66.66%

Lets take x , y as total members of Ambani and Sahara family respectively.

Take y=10 , so x becomes 8.

and take 10 as income of each Sahara family member.

Total Sahara family income =100 (10*10).

Now as per ques, Ambani family income is 20% more. so Ambani family total income is 120.
 So x= 120/8 = 15.

Now required is (10/15) * 100 = 66.66 %

Q27
20 years

Solution

Let the average age of a boy is x and average age of a girl y. as per the given conditions

45x + 40y =1540 --------(1)

50x + 20y =1320---------(2)

Solving these two equations, we get x=20 and y=16

Q28
20 minutes

Solution

Let the total distance to be covered is 84 kms.

Time taken to cover the distance without stoppage = 84 / 42 hrs = 2 hrs

Time taken to cover the distance with stoppage = 84 / 28 = 3 hrs.

Thus, he takes 60 minutes to cover the same distance with stoppage.

Therefore, in 1 hour he stops for 20 minutes.

Q29
37

Solution

That man increased average age by 2, at the time of inclusion.

Age of that man = 25 + (6 x 2) = 37 yrs.

Q30
39
 Solution

Let the average after 17th inning = x

Then average after 16th inning = x - 3

16(x-3)+87 = 17x

x = 87 - 48 = 39
