Total Number of shoes in A = 2 * 120 = 240
Ratio of the number of Adidas and Nike in A = 5) Answer: B
220:100 = 11:5 Number of Adidas in E = 120/100 * 165 = 198
Number of Adidas in A = 11/16 * 240 = 165 Total number of shoes in E = 198 * 20/9 = 440
Number of Nike in A = 5/16 * 240 = 75
Total number of shoes in B = 150 6) Answer: C
Number of Adidas in B = 120 – 30 = 90 Total number of trucks and cars crossed by
Number of Nike in B = 150 – 90 = 60 tollgate B=490*60/14=2100
Total number of shoes in C = 120 Number of trucks crossed by tollgate
Number of Nike shoe in C is 84. B=490*37/14=1295

7) Answer: A B=490*37/14=1295
Number of trucks crossed by tollgate Number of trucks crossed by tollgate D= 1295-
B=490*37/14=1295 395=900
Number of trucks crossed by tollgate C=1295- Required answer=1440-900=540
295=1000
Difference between number of trucks and cars 11) Answer: D
crossed by tollgate C=1000*3/2=1500 Let speed of the bike = ‘x’ km/h
So, speed of the car = (x + 12) km/h
8) Answer: D From the question:
Number of trucks crossed by tollgate (x + 12 + x) * 5/18 = 450/27
B=490*37/14=1295 2x + 12 = (450 * 18)/ (27 * 5)
Number of trucks crossed by tollgate D= 1295- 2x + 12 = 60
395=900 x = 24
Number of cars crossed by tollgate Speed of the bike = 24 km/h = 24 * (5/18) =
D=900*3/5=540 (20/3) m/s
Required difference=900*110/100- So, time taken by bike to cover 450 m = 450/
540*125/100=990-675=315 (20/3) = 67.5 seconds

9) Answer: C 12) Answer: C

Number of cars and trucks crossed by tollgate Let the CP be Rs.x.
B=490*60/14=2100 (1500 – x)/x * 100 = (x – 1200)/x * 100
=> 1500 – x = x – 1200

Number of boys in the school = 5/8 * 480 * Present age of Prabha = The age of Ganesh, 8
140/100 = 420 years ago
Number of girls in the school = 3/8 * 480 * 75/100 2x = 3x – 8
