1.
Answer : Option C
Explanation :
Let the age before 10 years = x
Then 125x/100 = x + 10
=>125x = 100x + 1000
=> x = 1000/25 = 40
Present age = x + 10 = 40 +10 = 50
2. Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Ratio of the present age of Kiran and Syam = 5 : 4
=> Let the present age of Kiran = 5x
Present age of Syam = 4x
After 3 years, ratio of their ages = 11:9
=> (5x + 3) : (4x + 3) = 11 : 9
=> (5x+3) / (4x+3) = 11/9
=> 9(5x + 3) = 11(4x + 3)
=> 45x + 27 = 44x + 33
=> x = 33-27 =6
Syam's present age = 4x = 4×6 = 24
3. Answer : Option C
Explanation :
Let the son's present age be x years.
Then, (38 - x) = x
=> 2x = 38
=> x = 38/2 = 19
Son's age 5 years back = 19-5 = 14
4. Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Let's take the present age of A,B and C as 4x, 7x and 9x respectively
Then
(4x - 8) + (7x – 8) + (9x – 8) = 56
=> 20x = 80
=> x = 4
Hence the present age of A, B and C are 4×4, 7×4 and 9×4
respectively
ie, 16,28 and 36 respectively.
5. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Error = 2% while measuring the side of a square.
Let the correct value of the side of the square = 100
Then the measured value = 100×(100+2)/100=102 (∵ error 2% in
excess)
Correct Value of the area of the square = 100 × 100 = 10000
Calculated Value of the area of the square = 102 × 102 = 10404
Error = 10404 - 10000 = 404
Percentage Error = Error/Actual Value×100=404/10000×100=4.04%
6. Answer : Option D
Explanation :
Let original length = 100 and original breadth = 100
Then original area = 100 × 100 = 10000
Length of the rectangle is halved
⇒New length = Original length/2=100/2=50
breadth is tripled
⇒New breadth= Original breadth×3=100×3=300
New area = 50 × 300 = 15000
Increase in area = New Area - Original Area = 15000 - 10000= 5000
Percentage of Increase in area = Increase in Area/Original
Area×100=5000/10000×100=50%
7. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Let l = 9 ft.
Then l + 2b = 37
=> 2b = 37 - l = 37 - 9 = 28
=> b = 28/2 = 14 ft.
Area = lb = 9 × 14 = 126 sq. ft.
8. Answer : Option B
Explanation :
15th Aug 2010 = (2009 years + period from 1-Jan-2010 to 15-Aug-
2010)
We know that number of odd days in 400 years = 0
Hence the number of odd days in 2000 years = 0 (Since 2000 is a
perfect multiple of 400)
Number of odd days in the period 2001-2009
= 7 normal years + 2 leap year
= 7 x 1 + 2 x 2 = 11 = (11 - 7x1) odd day = 4 odd day
Days from 1-Jan-2010 to 15-Aug-2010
= 31 (Jan) + 28 (Feb) + 31 (Mar) + 30 (Apr) + 31(may) + 30(Jun) +
31(Jul) + 15(Aug)
= 227
227 days = 32 weeks + 3 day = 3 odd day
Total number of odd days = (0 + 4 + 3) = 7 odd days = 0 odd day
0 odd day = Sunday
Hence 15th August, 2010 is Sunday.
9. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Let required number of bottles be x
More machines, more bottles(direct proportion)
More minutes, more bottles(direct proportion)
Hence we can write as
Machines 6:10
Minutes 1:4 ::270:x
⇒6×1×x=10×4×270
⇒x=10×4×270/6=10×4×90/2=10×4×45=1800
10. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Let the weight of A, B and C are a,b and c respectively.
Average weight of A,B and C = 45
a+b+c=45×3=135---equation(1)
average weight of A and B = 40
a+b=40×2=80---equation(2)
average weight of B and C = 43
b+c=43×2=86 ---equation(3)
equation(2)+equation(3)- equation(1)
=>a+b+b+c−(a+b+c)=80+86−135
=>b=80+86−135=166−135=31
=> weight of B = 31
11. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
log(64)= 1.806
=> log(43) = 1.806
=> 3log(4) = 1.806
⇒log(4)=1.806/3
log(16)=log(42)=2log(4)=2×1.806/3=2×0.062=1.204
12. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Let the marks secured by them be x and (x + 9)
Then sum of their marks = x + (x + 9) = 2x + 9
Given that (x + 9) was 56% of the sum of their marks
=>(x+9)=56/100(2x+9)
=>(x+9)=14/25(2x+9)
=> 25x + 225 = 28x + 126
=> 3x = 99
=> x = 33
Then (x + 9) = 33 + 9 = 42
Hence their marks are 33 and 42
13. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Total number of outcomes possible when a die is rolled = 6 (∵ any one
face out of the 6 faces)
i.e., n(S) = 6
E = Getting a number less than 4 = {1, 2, 3}
Hence, n(E) = 3
P(E) = n(E)/n(S)=3/6=1/2
14. Answer : Option A
Explanation :
Total distance = 3 ½ + ¼ = 7/2 + ¼ = 15/4 miles
Speed = 75 mph
Time = distance/speed = (15/4) / 75 hr = 1/20 hr = 60/20 minutes =
3 minutes
15. Answer : Option B
Explanation :
If A completes a work in 1 day, B completes the same work in 3 days
Hence, if the difference is 2 days, B can complete the work in 3 days
=> if the difference is 60 days, B can complete the work in 90 days
=> Amount of work B can do in 1 day= 1/90
Amount of work A can do in 1 day = 3 × (1/90) = 1/30
Amount of work A and B can together do in 1 day = 1/90 + 1/30 =
4/90 = 2/45
=> A and B together can do the work in 45/2 days = 22 ½ days
