Answer 1

Q 1.2/3rd of the balls in a bag are blue, the rest are pink. if 5/9th of the blue balls and 7/8th of the pink balls are defective, find the total number of balls in the bag given that the number of non defective balls is 146?

a) 216

 

b) 649

 

c) 432

 

d) 578

 

Solution- let total no of balls =x blue=2x/3

pink=x/3

 

total no of defective balls = 10x/27 +7x/24

 

=143x/216

 

non defective balls=x-143x/216=146 x=432

Q 253. Raj invested in Indigo, HUL and SBI shares at Rs. 300,
Rs. 200 and Rs. 5 per share, 100 shares for Rs. 10000. The number of Indigo and
HUL shares he bought are
a) 15, 25 b) 23, 17
c) 17, 23 d) 17, 60
Solution- ans will be 17,23 coz..
left sbi share will be 100-(17+23)=60
then indigo=300*17=5100
and HUL=200*23=4600
sbi=5*60=300
............

total=5100+4600+300=10000
Q 254. Raju can do a piece of work in 10 days..vicky 12days,tinku 15 days..day all
start the work together,but raju leaves aftr 2 days,vicky leaves 3 days before the
work is completed..how many days work is completed?
a) 7 b) 5 c) 9 d) 6
Solution- raju+vicky+tinku one day work = (1/10)+(1/12)+(1/15)= 1/4
now for 2 days together work done= 2*(1/4)= 1/2
......now work done by tinku in last 3 days alone=(3/15)=(1/5)
remaining work= 1-(1/2 + 1/5)= 3/10
....now vicky+tinku one day work=(1/12)+(1/15)=9/60
therefore 3/10 work will be done by both of them in= (60/9)*(3/10)= 2 days

now answer= 2days(as got from above; it is days required to do rem. work)+
3days(when vicky leaves)+2days(raju leaves)=7 days ans.

Q 255. Box of fruits can be loaded into a truck in 9 minutes by a
worker. And 8 boxes will fill a truck completely. How many trucks
can be loaded in 1 ½ hours if there are 16 men together.
a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 0
Solution- 1 worker can in 9 mins load 1 box
1 worker can in 90 mins load (1*90/9)=10boxes
16 worker can in 90 mins load (10*16)=160 boxes

So no. of trucks needed=160/8=20 i think...

Q 256. the first 44 positive integers are written in order to form the largest number
N=12345678910111213..424344. what will be the he remainder when N is diveded
by 45?
a) 4 b) 9 c) 14 d) 18
Solution- no will be div by 45 when it is divided y both 9 and 5
a no is div by 9 if sum of digits is div by 9
now sum of digits of given no is 270
so the no is div by 9
and since last digit is 4 when div by 5 it leaves rem 4
let us say numbers such as 9,54...
we see they are div by 9 but leaves rem 4 when div by 5..
so when div by 45 they leave rem 9
so req ans=9

Q 257. The sum of 3 consecutive numbers of the four numbers A, B, C, D are
4613,4961,5010,5099 then what is the largest number among A,B,C,D ?
a) 1948 b) 1463 c) 1601 d) 1550
Solution- Let, S1,S2,S3,S4 be the sums of A,B,C,D taking 3 of them at a time.
So, by the given data in the problem,it follows that :
S1+S2+S3+S4 = 4613+4961+5010+5099
=>S1+S2+S3+S4 = 19683. [eqn 1]
Now, Without the loss of generality we can assume
S1= A+B+C

S2= B+C+D
S3= C+D+A
S4= D+A+B
-------------------------------------------------------
adding the above terms we get,
S1+S2+S3+S4 = 3(A+B+C+D)
=>19683 = 3(A+B+C+D); [From [eqn 1] ]
=>(A+B+C+D)=(19683/3)
=>(A+B+C+D)=6561
So,the greatest term among them =sum of all four - sum of lowest three terms
So,the greatest term among them=6561-4613 = 1948.
So,the greatest term among them = 1948
So, the correct answer is : OPTION a)1948

Q 258. Three cars A, B and C are participating in a race.A is twice as likely as B to
win and B is thrice as likely as C to win. What is the probability that B will win, if
only one of them can win the race?
a) ½ b) 2/5 c) 3/10 d) 1/10
Solution- p(A)=2*p(B)
P(B)=3*p(c)
P(A) +P(B)+P(C) =1
2 * P(B) + P(B)+P(B)/3 =1
10*p(B) /3=1
P(B)=3/10

Q 259. 3 white chips, 7 blue chips, 16 green chips, 2 chips drawn from the box in
succession what is the probability that one is blue and other is white?
a) 7/50 b) 8/30 c) 7/25 d) 21/25*13
Solution- no of ways that 2 chips selected from total of 26 is 26C2=26*25/2=13*25
no of ways that 1 white and 1 blue is selected is 3C1*7C1=21
total probability=21/13*25

Q 260. George is 2/3 rd as efficient as smith and smith is ¾ th as efficient as John.

a) 2/3 b) 2/9 c) 4/9 d) 1/3
Solution- g:s=2/3:1=2:3
s:j=3/4:1=3:4
g:s:j=2:3:4
so ans is 2/9

Q 261. A man can load one box in 9 minutes. A truck can contain 8 boxes. If 16
men load for one and a half hour, how many trucks will be loaded?
a) 20 b) 10 c) 15 d) 40
Solution- 1 person in 9 min can load 1 box
1 person in 1 min can load 1/9 boxes
16 person in 1 min can load 16/9 boxes
16 person in 90 min can load 16*90/9=160 boxes
now
8 boxes in 1 truck
so

160 boxes comes under 20 trucks
so answer is 20 trucks loaded

Q 239. The price of a book in four different shops and the successive discounts
offered for the books is given below. Select the option in which the price of the
book is the least.
(a) 10%, 5%, and 5% discount on Rs.195
(c) 12.5% and 12.5% discounts on Rs.205
(b)25%, discount on Rs.200
(d) 10%, and 15% discounts on a marked price of Rs.190
Solution- we know that there is a formula on discount of m% and n% respectively
which is(m+n-mn/100)%.According to this for first case,total discount is
18.775%,so after discount the price of the book is Rs.158.38.For second case total
discount is 23.4375%,so the price of the book after discount is Rs.156.95.For third
case after discount the pice of the book is Rs.150.For last case total discount is
23.5% and the price of the book after discount is Rs.145.35.
So ans is option d in which the price is least.

Q 246. Each of A,B and C need a
certain unique time to do certain work. C needs 1 hour less than A
to complete the work. Working together they require 30 minutes to
complete 50% of the work. The work also gets completed if A and B
start working together and A leaves after 1 hour and B works further
3 hours. How much work does C do per hour?
a) 16.66%
b) 66.66%
c) 50%
d) 33.33%
Solution- 50% suppose A do work in x hrs ,B in y, then c would do in x-1 hrs..then
1/x+1/x-1+1/y=1 in 1 hrs..also A&B 1 hrs work 1/x+1/y then work remaining
xy-x-y/xy which is done by B in 3 hrs so (xy-x-y)/xy=3/y it results y=4x/x-1 putting
value we get x=3 so y=6 so A CAN DO WORK in 3 hrs B in 6 hrs & C IN 2 hrs that
is 50%

Q 247. In an year N, the 320th day of the year is Thursday. In the year N+1 the
206th day of the year is also Thursday. What is the 168th day of In the year N-1?
a) Friday
b) Thursday

c) Tuesday
d) Saturday
Solution- riday..If the Nth year is a non-leap year, then 320th day of year N to
206th day of year N+1 is [(365
– 320) + 206] = 251 days i.e. 35 weeks + 6 days. But this will not make the two
days to be
Thursday.
Thus, the Nth year has to be a leap year. In this case 320th day of year N to 206th
day of year
N+1 is [(366 – 320) + 206) = 252 days i.e. 36 weeks. Hence both days will be same
day of the
week i.e. Thursday as given by the data.

168th day of N-1 year to 320th day of N year is [(365 – 168) + 320) = 517 days i.e.
73 weeks +
6 days. Thus, if the 320th day is Thursday, then the 168th day of year will be
Friday, option

Q 248. What is the remainder when 6^17+17^6 is divided by 7?
a) 1
b) 6
c) 0
d) 3
Solution- 6^17+17^6 = (7-1)^17 + (21-4)^6 = (7-1)^17 + (7*3 -4)^6. [eqn1]

if the [eqn1] is expanded then every term of the expansion except [(-1)^17 +
(-4)^6] will have 7 as one of its factors.

Just think a little bit about the binomial expansion of both [(7-1)^17] and [(7*3
-4)^6] ,then u can readily point out that only the last term of both the expansions ,
i.e , [(-1)^17] & [(-4)^6] respectively,will don't have 7 as one of its factors.

So, we have to calculate the remainder when [(-1)^17 + (-4)^6] is divided by 7.
Now, clearly (-1)^17 = -1
and, (-4)^6 = 4^6 = 2^12 = (2^3)^4 = (7+1)^4.
Now, a same reasoning related to binomial expansion mentioned previously
explains why, when (7+1)^4 is divided by 7 will leave a remainder 1.
So, (7+1)^4 will be of the for (7*A + 1); where A is some +ve integer, to know
whose value isn't important in this case.
So, when
[(-1)^17 + (-4)^6] will be divided by 7
or, [-1 + (7+1)^4] will be divided by 7
or, when [-1 + 7*A +1] will be divided by 7
or, when [ 7*A ] will be divided by 7 , clearly therefore the remainder will be zero,
i.e, 0.

So, the answer is OPTION 3)0.

Q 249. George and Mark can paint 720 boxes in 20 days. Mark and Harry in 24
days and Harry and George in 15 days. George works for 4 days, Mark for 8 days
and Harry for 8 days. The total number of boxes painted by them is
a) 252 b) 516 c) 348 d) 492
Solution- Capacity of G + M = 720 / 20 = 36
M + H = 720 / 24 = 30
H + G = 720 / 15 = 48

Combined capacity = 2 (G + H + M) = 114
G + H + M = 114 / 2 = 57
Now capacity of G = (G+H+M) - (H + M) = 57 - 30 = 27
M = (G+H+M) - (H + G) = 57 - 48 = 9
H = (G+H+M) - (G + M) = 57 - 36 = 21

Given that G worked for 4 days, and mark for 8 and harry for 8 days
So total work by them = 4 x 27 + 8 x 9 + 8 x 21 = 348

Q 250. Megha drives along the perimeter of square field of side 10kms.She drives
along the first side at 10kmph.along second side 20 kmph along 3rd side 30kmph
and along the forth side at 40 kmph.Her avearse speed is ?
a) 19.2kmph b) 18kmp c) 30kmph d) 20kmph
Solution- Average speed : total distance/total time
Total distance=10*4=40 km

So, Average Speed = 19.2 Km/h

Q 251. For real number x, int(x) denotes integer part of x. int(x) is the largest
integer less than or equal to x.int(1,2)=1, int(-2,4)= -3. Find the value of
int(1/2)+int(1/2+100)+int(1/2+2/100)+. +int(1/2+99/100)
a) 50 b) 49 c) 51 d) 48
Soluiton- if it is int(1/2 + 100) the answer is 150 lest if it is int(1/2 + 1/100) the
answer is 50.

from int(1/2 + 49/100)= 0 and from int(1/2 + 50/100)= 1 and int(1/2 + 99/100) = 1 so
from 50 to 99 it is equal to 50

Q 232. Raj drives slowly along the perimeter of a rectangular park at 24kmph and
completes one full round in 4mins. The ratio of length is to breadth is 3:2. What
are its dimensions?
a) 450m*300m
b) 150m*100m
c) 480m*320m
d) 100m*100m
Solution- The ratio of length is to breadth is 3:2

So,
Length is 3x and breadth is 2x
Now, The perimeter of the rectangular park is; 2( Length + Breadth)
2 ( 3x+ 2x)
2*5x
=10x
Raj drives slowly along the perimeter of a rectangular park that's mean he
covered the total distance 10x.
So, the total distance is = 10x
Total time 4mins, so 4/60 hrs.
Speed 24kmph
We know that,
Distance = Time * Speed
Distance = 4/60 * 24
Distance= 1.6
Now, we can write;
10x= 1.6
x = 1.6/10
x = 0.16
Length is (3*0.16) = .48km or 480 m
Breath (2*0.16) = .32km or 320 m
Ans. Its dimensions are 480m * 320 m

Q 233. or which of the following n is the number 2^74 + 2^2058 + 2^2n is a perfect
square.

a) 2010 b) 2018 c) 2012 d) 2020
Solution- 2^74 + 2^2058 + 2^2n =(2^37)^2 + (2^1029)^2 + (2^n)^2
now, if we put 2^37 = a ; 2^1029 = b; Then for the above expression to be perfect
square 2^2n must be equal to (2*a*b)= 2*(2^37)*(2^1029);
==> 2^2n = 2^(1067)
==> 2n = 1067 ,
but this case is not possible since R.H.S is an odd integer whereas L.H.S is an
even integer.
So , the above mentioned case can't hold.

Now,if we put 2^37 = a; 2^n = b ; So, for the given expression to be perfect square
2^2058 = (2*a*b)= 2*(2^37)*(2^n) = 2^(n+38);
So, 2058 = (n+38)
=> n = 2020
So,The answer is n = 2020

Q 234. Father is 5 times faster than son. Father completes work in 40days before
son.If both of them work together when will work get complete?
a) 8 days b) 50/6 days c) 10 days d) 20 days
Solution- et takes x days TO COMPLETE THE WORK than father will take x-40
as we know time is inversely propotional to speed so
time=1/speed
fatherstime/sonstime

x-40/x
and given that speed ration btwn father and son is 5:1

so x-40/x=5/1
x-40=5x
4x=40
x=10
so if father and son work together than
1/10+1/50
25/3 days is ans

Solution- 725 = -5*-1*1*5*29
so we can write,
68-e = -5

=> e = 73
68-d = -1
=> d = 69
68-c = 1
=> c = 67
68 - b = 5
=> b = 63
68-a= 29
=> a = 39

so a+b+c+d = 39+63+67+69 = 238

Q 264. A circle has 29 points arranged in a clockwise manner numbered from 0 to
28, as shown in the figure below. A bug moves clockwise around the circle
according to the following rule. If it is at a point i on the circle, it moves clockwise
in 1 second by ( 1 + r ) places, where r is the reminder ( possibly 0 ) when i is
divided by 11. Thus if it is at position 5, it moves clockwise in one second by ( 1 +
5 ) places to point 11. Similarly if it is at position 28 it moves ( 1 + 6 ) or 7 places
to point 6 in one second. If it starts at point 23, at what point will it be after 2012
seconds?

a) 1 b) 7 d) 15 d) 20
Solution- after 1st second : (1+23%11 = 1) = 2 places [25]
after 2nd second : (1+25%11 = 3) = 4 places [0]
after 3rd second : (1+0%11 = 0) = 1 place [1]
after 4th second : (1+1%11 = 1) = 2 places [3]
after 5th second : (1+3%11 = 3) = 4 places [7]

after 6th second : (1+7%11 = 7) = 8 places [15]
after 7th second : (1+15%11 = 4) = 5 places [20]
after 8th second : (1+20%11 = 9) = 10 places [1]
now,for the same pattern from 4th sec to 8th sec will repeat itself (5 sec
intervals)..
total time = 2012 secs
first 3 secs out of pattern...so time left 2012 - 3 =2009 secs

now no. of repetitions in the leftover time = 2009/5 = 401. remainder = 4
for the next 4 iterations following the similar pattern

the position will be 20..
Q 265. Total income of Eesha in the years 2003,2004,2005 was $36,400.Her

Q 266. Length, Breadth and Height of a cuboid is in the ratio 1:3:27. Volume of the
cuboid is 27 m3. If the length is doubled and Breadth & Height are halved, then
what is the change in the volume of the cuboid?
a) Decreased by 15% b) Decreased by 18% c) Decreased by 30%
d) Decreased by 50%
Solution- given l:b:h=1:3:27

so now volume will be lbh=1*3*27=81
now given l is doubled so l= 2l
b and h are halved so b=3b/2,h=27h/2
now new volume 2l*b/2*h/2
so substitute values then u get lbh=2*(3/2)*(27/2)=40.5
so the change is 81-40.5=40.5
so half of the original volume

Q 284. In the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth basketball games of the season, a
player scored 23,14, 11, and 20 points, respectively. Her points-per-game average
was higher after nine games than it was after the first five games. If her average
after ten games was greater than 18, what is the least number of points she could
have scored in the tenth game?
a) 29 b) 30 c) 28 d) 27
Solution- The sum of the scores for games 6 through 9 is 68. The average in these
four games is \frac{68}{4} = 17
The total points in all ten games is greater than $10\cdot 18 = 180. Thus, it must
be at least 181.
There are at least 181 - 68 = 113 points in the other six games: games 1-5and
game 10.Games 1-5 must have an average of less than 17. Thus we cannot put
more than $16 + 17 + 17 + 17 + 17 = 84 points in those five games.

Thus, the tenth game must have at least $113 - 84 = 29 points
Q 285. 2/3rd of the balls in a bag are blue, the rest are pink. if 5/9th of the blue

Q 198. A drinks machine offers three solutions – Tea, Coffee or Random but the
machine has been wired up wrongly so that each button does not give what it
claims. If each drink costs Rs. 50, what is the mimimum amount of money that
must be spent to determine with certainity the correct labeling of the buttons?
a) Rs. 100
b) Can not be determined from the given information
c) Rs 150
d) Rs 50

Solution-You have to put just 50rs.
Put 50rs and push the button for Random. There are only 2
possibilities. It will give either Tea or Coffee.
If it gives Tea, then the button named Random is for Tea.
The button named Coffee is for Random selection. And the
button named Tea is for Coffee.
If it gives Coffee, then the button named Random is for
Coffee. The button named Tea is for Random selection. And
the button named Coffee is for Tea.
Thus, you can make out which button is for what by putting
just 50rs and pressing Random selection first.

Q 200. If ab64ab is divisible by 12, then what is the least possible value of a+b ?
a) 4 b) 5 c) 6 d) 7
Solution-1.Condition for divisibility by 3--
The sum of digits of number must be divisible by 3.

i.e a+b+6+4+a+b = 0 mod 3
=> 10 + 2(a+b) = 0 mod 3
=> 1 + 2(a+b) = 0 mod 3 (10 = 1 mod 3)
=> 2(a+b) = -1 mod 3
=> 2(a+b) = 2 mod 3
=> a+b = 1 mod 3
So, a+b must be of the form 3n + 1 for some positive integer n.
Max value of (a+b) is 18 as a and b can take values upto 9 since they are digits.
The possible values are 1,4,7,10,13,16.

2. Condition for divisibility by 4--
For divisibility by 4, Last two digits must be divisible by 4.
i.e 10a+b = 0 mod 4
=> 2a + b = 0 mod 4 (Since, 8a = 0 mod 4)
So, 2a + b can be 4,8,12,16,20,24,28.
Combining these,we get
a + b = 3n +1
2a + b = 4k
The smallest values which satisfies these two equation is a = 4 ,b = 0.
So, the minimum sum of a + b is 4.

Q 201. There are 100 in a class and they attend a test. 20 students are failed in
both the subjects. 50 students pass in subject A. 60 students passed in subject B.
How many students passed in subject A only.
a) 20 b) 30 c) 15 d) 25

Solution-LET x be the total no. of students who passed in both test.
Then, no. of students who passed in A only= total no. of students who passed in
A - total no. of students who passed for both A & B =50 - x
similarly, no. of students who got pass only in B = 60 - x
now, total no. students who got pass = 80
80= (50 - x) +(60-x)+x then we'll get on solving, x=30

students who passed in A only = 50 -x= 50-30=20

Q 181. Car A leaves city C at 5 pm and drives at a speed of 40 kmph. 2 hours later
another car B leaves city C and drives in the same direction as car A. In how
much time will car B be 9 km ahead of car A. Speed of car B is 60 kmph.
option
a) 4.25 hrs
b) 4.17 hrs
c) 4.30 hrs
d) 4.45 hrs
Solution-we take the relative speeds of the 2 cars.
relative speed=(60-40)=20km/h
the car a has travelled (40*2)km in 2 hrs.
thence car b has to travel 80km+9km ahead to get ahead by 9 km.
so time= 89/20=4hr 45 min.

Q 182. The rupee/coin changing machine at a bank has a flaw. It gives 10 ten
rupee notes if you put a 100 rupee note and 10 one rupee coins if you insert a 10
rupee note but gives 10 hundred rupee notes when you put a one rupee coin!
Sivaji, after being ruined by his rivals in business is left with a one rupee coin and
discovers the flaw in the machine by accident. By using the machine repeatedly,
which of the following amounts is a valid amount that Sivaji can have when he

gets tired and stops at some stage (assume that the machine has an infinite
supply of notes and coins):
a) 26975
b) 53947
c) 18980
d) 33966
Solution-initially sivaji had only one coin so he earns only 1000/-
to earn more he must convert one 100 note to 10 notes and then one ten note to
ten coins
now he has Rs.990 and 10 coins
after converting 10 coins he has 10990
after converting another 10 coins he has 20980
after converting another 10 coins he has 30970
after converting another 10 coins he has 40960
after converting another 10 coins he has 50950
after converting another 10 rupee note to coins and using only 3
he has seven coins and 53940
so sum is 53940+7=53947

Q 186. find the no. of zeros in the product of 1^1*2^2*3^3. *49^49?
a) 250 b) 225 c) 545 d) 135
Solution-the number of zero's can be found by finding number of 2's and 5's.
since in this number, number of occurrences 2's will always be greater than
number of occurrences of 5's.
therefore we need to find number of 5's only.

number of occurrences of 5's
in 5^5 = 5
10^10=10
15^15=15
20^20=20
25^25=25
30^30=30
35^35=35
40^40=40
45^45=45
sum=225.
therefore 225 5's can be paired with 225 2's.
total number of zeros = 225

Q 187. a merchant buys 20kg of wheat at 30rs/kg and 40k at 25rs/kg.he mixes and

after drawing this line you will come across 8 such points.
so the answer is 8

Q 168. It takes 52 days to complete an agreement deal by a certain number of
men.After 17 days,300 men are added and 21 days are reduced.how many men
were working initially?
a) 250 b) 150 c) 200 d) None of the above
Soultion- Let x no people works initially.
So the left work after 17 days can be done by x people is in 35, but the same work
can be done by x+300 is in 35-21=14 days.
so, 35*(x/(x+300))=14
x=200.
initially 200 people worked

Q 169. four parallel lines are drawn parallel to one side of an equilateral triangle
such that it cuts the other two sides at equal intervals.the area of the largest
segment thus formed is 27msqr.find the area of the triangle?
a) 100 b) 75 c) 81 d) 54
Solution- Area of Trapezoid= ((a+b)*h))/2(where a and b are length of parallel
sides)
Now Since side is divided in 5 parts therefore,length of one interval=a/5

Now use Sin60 and to calculate the height of trapezoid( ie. a root 3/10). and cos60
to calculate the base of the triangle whose hypotenuse is a/5..(i.e. will be a/10);
We get b= a-(a/10+a/10)
b= 4a/5
now equate the area of trapezoid with 27..
Hence area of equilateral triangle is 75 sqm

Q 172. 2 gears. one with 12 teeth and the other one with 14 teeth are engaged with
each other. One tooth in smaller gear and one tooth in bigger gear are marked
and initially those 2 marked teeth are in contact with each other. After how many
rotations of the smaller gear with the marked teeth in the other gear will again
come into contact for the first time?
a) 7
b) 12
c) Data Insufficient
d) 84
Solution- Assume the distance between the teeth is 1 cm. Then the circumference
of first gear is 12 cm and the second is 14 cm.
Now LCM (12, 14) = 84.
So to cover 84 cm, the first gear has to rotate 84/12 = 7 rounds
(the second gear rotates 84 / 14 = 6 rounds as it is bigger)

Q 174. Professor absentminded has a very peculiar problem, in that he cannot
remember numbers larger than 15. However, he tells his wife, I can remember any
number up to 100 by remembering the three numbers obtained as remainders
when the number is divided by 3, 5 and 7 respectively. For example (2,2,3) is 17.
Professor remembers that he had (1,1,6) rupees in the purse, and he paid (2,0,6)
rupees to the servant. How much money is left in the purse?
option
a) 59
b) 61
c) 49
d) 56
Solution- He had 76 rupees,according to questions, he remember any no. larger
than 15 as remainder when divided by 3,5 and 7 respectively.
Divide 76 by 3,5 and 7, we will get (1,1,6)as remainder.

He paid 20 rupees bcoz when 20 divided by 3,5 & 7 , we will get (2,0,6) as
remainder.
Now money left=76-20
=56 (Ans)

Q 175. A and B completed a work together in 5 days. Had A worked at twice the
speed and B at half the speed, it would have taken them four days to complete
the job. How much time would it take for A alone to do the work?
a) 5days b) 20days c) 10days d) 25days
Solution- a nd b's 1 day work, a+b=1/5
with twice d speed of a nd half of b completes work in 4 days,
so, 2a+b/2=1/4.
on solving both d eq. we get a=1/10
so a will complete d whole work in 10 days.

Q 176. 0>a>b>c>d. Which is largest
a) (b+d)/(a+c)
b) (a+d)/(b+c)
c) (b+c)/(a+d)
d) (c+d)/(a+d)
Solution- given statement is 0>a>b>c>d
that means all the values of a,b,c,d are less than ZERO
so lets consider a=-1 b=-2, c=-3 and d=-4 so that 0>a>b>c>d will satisfy
by solving the options we get the values as follows
a.(b+d)/(a+c)= 1.5

b. 1
c.1
d.1.4
among all of these option a is highest so the ans is option a.

Q 177. An engineer undertakes a project to build a road of 15km in 300 days and
employs 45 men for the purpose .After 100 days,he finds only 2.5km of the road
has been completed.find the (approx)number of extra men must employs to finish
the work in time.
option
a) 43
b) 45
c) 55
d) 68
Solution- 45 workers working already
Let x be the total men required to finish the task in next 200 days
2.5 km done hence remaining is 12.5 km
Also, work has to be completed in next 200 days (300 - 100 = 200)
We know that, proportion of men to distance is direct proportion
and, proportion of men to days is inverse proportion
Hence, X = (45 * 12.5 * 100) / (2.5 * 200)
thus, X = 112.5 that is approximately 113
Thus, more men needed to finish the task = 113-45=68

Q 143. A child is looking for his father. He went 90 meters in the east before
turning to his right. He went 20 meters before turning to is right again to look for
his father at his uncle's place 30 meters from this point. His father was not there.
From there, he went 100 meters to his north before meeting his father in a street.
How far did the son meet his father from starting point ?
a) 80 metre
b) 90 metre
c) 100 metre
d) 110 metre
Solution- Clearly, the child moves from A to B 90 metres eastwards upto B, then
turns right and moves 20 metre upto C, then turns right and moves upto 30 metre
upto D. Finally he turns right and moves upto 100 metre upto E.

So AB = 90 metre, BF = CD = 30 metre,
So, AF = AB - BF = 60 metre

Also DE = 100 metre, DF = BC = 20 metre
So, EF = DE - DF = 80 metre

as we can see in image that triangle AFE is a right angled triangle and we are
having two sides, need to calculate third one, so we can apply Pythagoras
theorem here
A = AE = sqrt{AF^2 + EF^2}
= sqrt{(60)^2+(80)^2}
= sqrt{3600+6400}
= sqrt{10000} = 100
So from starting point his father was 100 metre away.

Q 144. assume that f(1)=0 and f(m+n)=f(m)+f(n)+4(9mn-1).for all natural

calculate upto f(5)by putting values in the given expression i.e. f(1)=0, f(2)=32,
f(3)=100, f(4)=204, f(5)=344. then cal f(7)=f(5+2)orf(3+4)=732 and f(10)=f(5+5)=1584,
and now f(17)=f(10+7)=f(10)+f(7)+4(9*15*7 -1)..........
f(17)=1584+732+2516=4832

Q 145. The numbers 272738 and 232342, when divided by n, a 2 digit number,
leave a remainder of 13 and 17 respectively. Find the sum of the digits of n?
a) 7
b) 8
c) 5
d) 4
Solution- as remainder is 13 & 17 so dividend must be greater than 17
272738 = n*a+13 => 272725=n*a (1)
232342 = n*b+17 => 232325=n*b (2)
last two digit of (1)&(2) is 25 so n must be 25, no other two digit no. greater than
25 satisfies this
272725=25*10909
232325=25*9293
n=25, sum of digits of n = 2+5 = 7

Q 120. A circle has 29 points arranged in a clockwise manner numbered from 0 to
28, as shown in the figure below. A bug moves clockwise around the circle
according to the following rule. If it is at a point i on the circle, it moves clockwise
in 1 second by ( 1 + r ) places, where r is the reminder ( possibly 0 ) when i is
divided by 11. Thus if it is at position 5, it moves clockwise in one second by ( 1 +
5 ) places to point 11. Similarly if it is at position 28 it moves ( 1 + 6 ) or 7 places
to point 6 in one second. If it starts at point 23, at what point will it be after 2012
seconds?

a) 1 b) 7 c) 15 d) 20
Solution- after 1st second : (1+23%11 = 1) = 2 places [25]
after 2nd second : (1+25%11 = 3) = 4 places [0]
after 3rd second : (1+0%11 = 0) = 1 place [1]
after 4th second : (1+1%11 = 1) = 2 places [3]
after 5th second : (1+3%11 = 3) = 4 places [7]

after 6th second : (1+7%11 = 7) = 8 places [15]
after 7th second : (1+15%11 = 4) = 5 places [20]
after 8th second : (1+20%11 = 9) = 10 places [1]
now,for the same pattern from 4th sec to 8th sec will repeat itself (5 sec
intervals)..

total time = 2012 secs
first 3 secs out of pattern...so time left 2012 - 3 =2009 secs

now no. of repetitions in the leftover time = 2009/5 = 401. remainder = 4
for the next 4 iterations following the similar pattern

the position will be 20..

Q 121. A team won 80% of the games it played. It played 5 more games of which it
won 3 and lost 2. Its loss percentage changed to 25%. How many games did it
play overall?
a) 20
b) 14
c) 16
d) 25
Solution- ans= 20
if game played=x
then lost game=x/5
now they played 5 more games in which they lost 2

so, (x+5)*25/100=x/5 + 2
x=15
so total game he played=15+5 = 20

Analyzing the above 10 points:
We can get some idea that,
For Even number of rows, End points column increases 1 by previous column.
For Odd number of rows, End points column difference of the present column
and the previous even number column.
For End point row, the value repeats two times from row 2.
In our problem, (100, 200) i.e.
Even number row,
So End point column value must be 50 for 200 columns and End point row value
must be 51 for 100 rows.
For even number of rows and columns,
Condition: Column =2*Row
Endpoint (R, C) = {((Row/2) +1), Column/4}
so last square to be coloured is (51, 50)

Q 101. there is conical tent in which 10 persons can stand. Each person need 6m
square to stand and 60m cube air to breath. what is the height of tent?
a) 60 b) 30 c) 20 d) 45
Solution-Amount of area reqd. by 1 person to stand = 6 sq.metre
Amount of area reqd. by 10 person to stand = 6x10 sq.metre i.e 60 sq.metre
So,
Base Area, pi*r*r=60
=>r*r = 60/pi (1)
Now,

Volume of air reqd. to breathe 1 person= 60 cu.metre
Volume of air reqd. by 10 person to breathe = 60x10=600 cu.metre
So,
Volume, 1/3*pi*r*r*h = 600 (2)
Putting the value of eqn 1 in eqn 2, we get
1/3*pi*60/pi*h = 600
==> 1/3*60*h = 600
==> 20*h = 600
==> h = 600/20 = 30
Therefore height = 30 metres

Q 111. Arun makes a popular brand of ice-cream in a rectangular shaped bar 6 cm
long, 5 cm wide and 2 cm thick. To cut costs, the company had decided to reduce
the volume of the bar by 19%. The thickness will remain the same, but the length
and width will be decreased by the same percentage. The new width will be.

a) 4.5cm b) 5.5cm c) 6.5 cm d) 7.5cm
Solution- volume v=l*b*t
new volume is 81% of old v.
therefore new vol = 81%(v)=l'*b'*t
=> 81% (l*b*t) = l'*b'*t
=> 81% (l*b) = l' * b'
since the change in new l and b is the same. hence consider change to be x.
=> 81% (l*b) = xl*xb
81%=x^2
x=9%.
9% change in 5cm width is 0.45
therefore new width is 5-0.45=4.55cm

c) 2 (6⁄11) hours
d) 2 hours
Solution- A,B,C 1 hour work is=1/8+1/10+12= 37/120
A,B,C work together for 2 hours, so,A,B,C 2 hours work is: (37/120)*2=37/60
remaining work=1-37/60=23/60 (23/60 work is done by B and C together)
B,C 1 hour work is= 1/10+1/12=11/60
23/60 hours work done by B,C= (11/60)* (60/23)=11/23

so... ans is: 2(1/11)

Q 81.Three generous friends, each with some money, redistribute the money as
follows: Sandra gives enough money to David and Mary to double the amount of
money each has. David then gives enough to Sandra and Mary to double their
amounts. Finally, Mary gives enough to Sandra and David to double their
amounts. If Mary had 11 rupees at the beginning and 17 rupees at the end, what is
the total amount that all three friends have?
a) 105 b) 60 c) 88 d) 71
Solution-let sandra, david and mary each has s, d and 11(given) respectively.
After first distribution
David has d+d=2d, marry has 11+11=22 and sandra has s-d-11.
After second distribution,
sandra has 2*(s-d-11) , mary has 2*22=44 and david has 2d-(s-d-11)-22=3d-s-11.
After third distribution,
sandra has 2*2(s-d-11), david has 2*(3d-s-11) and mary has
44-2(s-d-11)-(3d-s-11)=77-s-d
It is given that finally Mary has 17 rs. So,
77-s-d=17
=>s+d=60
=> s+d+11(Mary's money)=60+11=71.

Q 83. The sum of the four consecutive two digit odd number when divided by 10
becomes a perfect square, which of the following can be one of these four
numbers?
a) 21 b) 25 c) 41 d) 67
Solution-Let the four 2-digit odd numbers be
n-3 n-1 n+1 n+3
Sum of the 4 numbers ==> 4n
acc to qn, when the sum is divided by 10
we get a perfect square...
perfect squares include==>1,4,9,16,25,36,49,.....
Possible values of 4n/10 ==> 4, 16,36...
If 4n/10=4
n=10
Hence, the corresponding nos are 7,9,11,13(all of which are NOT 2-digit nos)

If 4n/10=16
n=40
Hence the corresponding nos are 37, 39, 41, 43
If 4n/10=36
n=90
Hence the corresponding nos are 87, 89, 91, 93
The answer to the ques therefore is Option C

Q 86. I bought a certain number of marbles at rate of 59 marbles for rupees 2
times M, where M is an integer. I divided these marbles into two parts of equal
numbers, one part of which I sold at the rate of 29 marbles for Rs. M, and the
other at a rate 30 marbles for Rs. M. I spent and received an integral number of
rupees but bought the least possible number of marbles. How many did I buy?
a) 870 b) 102660 c) 1770 d) 1740
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

no of terms ={(129-24)/5}+1=22

Q 89. Aman walking at the speed of 4 km/h crosses a square field diagonally in 3
minutes. The area of the field (in m2) is:
a) 20000 b) 21000 c) 25000 d) 26000
Solution-convert speed into m/s i.e
4*5/18 = 2/9
this is distance covered in 1 sec.
so distance covered in 3 min i.e 180 sec = 2/9*180
= 200m
this is the lenth of diagonal
and are of square = 1/2 (daigonal)*(diagonal)
1/2*200*200
20,000 m2

Q 95. In a city there are few engineering, MBA and CA candidates. Sum of four
times the engineering, three times the MBA and 5 times CA candidates is 3650.
Also three times CA is equal to two times MBA and three times engineering is
equal to two times CA. In total how many MBA candidates are there in the city?
a) 200 b) 300 c) 450 d) 400

Solution-e = no. of engineering students, m = no. of MBA students and c = no. of
CA students
4e + 3m + 5c = 3650, therefore e = (3650-3m-5c)/4 (1)
3c = 2m , therefore c = 2m/3
3e = 2c replacing e with (1) we get,
3(3650- 3m - 5c)/4 = 2c. replacing c with 2m/3 and solving this equation we get m
= 450
So the number of MBA students is 450

Answer 16

Q 55. Radius of the bigger circle is 1. Which area will be greater?

a) 5 b) 4 c) cannot be determined d) none of these
Solution- If the radius of the bigger circle is 1, then diameter = 2 units. Which in
turn equals to diagonal of square.
Let the side of the square be x. Then x2 + x2 = 22 ⇒ 2x2 = 4 ⇒ x = √22
Now diameter of the inner circle = side of the square. So radius of the inner circle
= √22=1√222=12
Areas marked by 1, 2, 3, 4 = (Area of the circle - area of the square)/4 =
π(1)2−(√2)24π(1)2−(2)24 = π−24π−24 = 0.285
Areas marked by 5, 6, 7, 8 = (Area of the square - area of the inner circle)/4 =
(√2)2−π(1√2)24(2)2−π(12)24 = 2−π242−π24 = 0.1075
So Area marked by 4 is bigger.

Options a, c ruled out.
So option d is correct.

Q 56. A boy buys 18 sharpeners (brown or white) for Rs. 100. For every white
sharpener, he pays one rupee more than the brown sharpener. What is the cost of
white sharpener & how much did he buy?
a) 5,13 b)5,10 c)6,10 d) None of these
Solution- If he bought x white sharpeners @ Rs (y+1) and (18-x) brown
sharpeneres @ Rs y per sharpener, then
x*(y+1)+x*(18-x)=100
x= 100-18y
Only integral value of x less than 18 will be 10.
then x=10, y=5
so he bought 10 white sharpeners @ Rs 6 per sharpeners and 8 brown
sharpeners @ Rs 5 per sharpener.
c)6,10

office. The usual time taken by him to cover the distance between his home and
his office is

a). 42 minutes
b). 48 minutes
c). 60 minutes

d). 62 minutes
Solution- Let s = his normal speed
t = his normal time

Then
D = (3/4)s * (t+16)
Since the distance is the same we can equate this to his regular day which is D =
s*t
s*t = (3/4)s * (t+16)
t=48

Q 66. A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how
many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?

a). 12 days
b). 15 days
c). 16 days

d). 18 days
solution- A's 2 day's work =2 * (1/20)= 1/10
(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work =((1/20)+(1/30)+(1/60))= 1/10
Work done in 3 days =(1/10)+(1/10)= 1/5
Now, (1/5) work is done in 3 days.
Whole work will be done in (3 x 5) = 15 days.

Q 67. The least number which when divided by 48, 60, 72, 108 and 140 leaves 38,
50, 62, 98 and 130 as remainders respectively, is:
a) 4562
b) 15110
c) 2135
d) 7589
Solution- Here (48 - 38 ) = ( 60 - 50 ) = ( 72 - 62 ) = ( 108 - 98 ) = ( 140 - 130 ) = 10 in
every case

Leat number will be LCM of ( 48, 60, 72, 108, 140 ) - 10

LCM = 15120

So, required number = 15120 - 10 = 15110

Solution- Let there be 4 horizontal set of parallel lines and 7 vertical set of parallel
line.(U can also consider vice-versa)
Now for a parallelogram, u need 2 horizontally parallel and 2 vertically parallel
lines ie. we need to choose 2 lines from each set.
So the solution will be 7C2*4C2=126

Q 70. A completes 80% of a work in 20 days. Then B also joins and A and B
together finish the remaining work in 3 days. How long does it need for B if he
alone completes the work?
a) 37 ½ b) 32 c)32 ½ d) 37
Solution- let total work is 100 unit .

A can do 80 unit in 20 days so he can do 4 unit in 1 days .

now A has finished 80 units so remaining work is 20 unit

so , 20 unit work takes 3 days time to complete in which A will do 12 unit

(since A do 4 unit/days )

thus ,B do 8 unit in 3 days

and total work is 100 unit so B will take (3/8)*100 = 37.5 days to complete total
work

Q 71. a person starts writing all 4 digits numbers.how many times had he written

Q 72. There is a tank,and two pipes A and B.A can fill the tank in 25 minutes and
B can empty the tank in 20 minutes.If both pipes are opened at same time.how
much time required the tank can fill?
a) 15 min b) 18 min c) 13 min d) Never be filled
Solution-We have pipe A filling the tank completely in 25 minutes.
Ie, it can fill 100% tank in 25 minutes.

Hence, in 1 min, the tank is filled = 100/25 = 4%
We have pipe B which can empty the tank in 20 minutes.
Hence, in 1 min, tank is empties = 100/20 = 5%.
Since we have the rate of emptying the tank more than the rate of filling the tank,
We can say that the tank will never get filled.

Q 73. An Old man and a Young man are working together in an office and staying

Q 43. A alone can do 1/4th of the work in 2 days. B alone can do 2/3th of the work
in 4 days. If all the three work together, they can complete it in 3 days so what
part of the work will be completed by C in 2 days?
A. 1/12
B. 1/8
C. 1/16
D. 1/20
Solution- A can do the total work in 8 days, and B can do it in 6 days.
Let the total work be 24 units. Now capacities are
A = 24/8 = 3,
B = 24/6 = 4,

A + B + C = 24/3 = 8
So Capacity of C = 1 unit.
In two days C will do 2 units which is 2/24th part of the total work. So 1/12th part.

Q 48. Three dice are rolled. What is the probability of getting a sum of 13?
a) 19/216 b) 21/216 c) 17/216 d) 23/216
Solution- Just count the number of ways to get 13. We just need to count
possibilities for two dice because the third dice value is fixed. For two dice, the
sum can be anywhere from 7 to 12 and that would be 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21. So,
the probability is 21/216

Q 26. In a clock the long hand is of 8cm and the short hand is of 7cm. if the clock
runs for 4 days find out the total distance covered by both the hands
a) 1824 π cm b)1648π cm c)1724π cm d)2028π cm
Solution-Explanation: Short Hand ( Hour hand)
Hour hand makes a full rotation in 12 hours.

One full rotation in 12 hours =>2πr=14π cm traversed every 12 hours.
For one day(24 hours ), we have 28π cm, twice that of a 12 hour period.
For 3 days, we then have 4 x 28 π=112π cm traversed.
Long Hand ( Minute hand)
One full rotation in 1 hour =>2πr=16π cm traversed every hour.
For one day, we have 24 x 16 π=384π cm.
For 4 days, we then have 4 x 384π=1536π cm traversed.
Total Distance
For the total, we have 112π+1536π=1648π cm.

Q 35. Mother, daughter and infant total weight is 74 kg. Mother's weight is 46 kg
more than daughter and infant's weight. Infant's weight is 60% less than
daughter's weight. Find daughter's weight.
a)10 b)9 c)8 d) 7
Solution-Total Age is M+D+I=74
given that M-D-I=46
solving above 2 eq's we get Mother age = 60
now remaing age=14 which is sum of daughter and Infant age.
Given that Infant age is 60% lass than Daughter.
i.e If daughter age is 100 then infant age is 40.
So ages ratio Of D and I is 100 : 40 i.e ... 5 : 2

So (5+2)=7 parts equal to 14.
then 5 parts equal to 10.
2 parts equal to 4.
daughter age is =10
and infant age is = 4

Q 38. A number when divided successively by 4 and 5 leaves remainder 1 and 4
respectively. when it is successively divided by 5 and 4, then the respective
remainders will be;

a). 1,2
b). 2,3
c). 3,2
d). 4,1
Solution-When dividing a positive integer nn by another positive integer DD
(divider), we obtain a quotient QQ, which is a non-negative integer and a
remainder R, which is an integer such that 0≤R<D0≤R<D. We can write
n=DQ+R.n=DQ+R.

When dividing our number nn by 4 we obtain a remainder of 1, so, if the quotient
is some integer QQ, we can write n=4Q+1.n=4Q+1.
Now, dividing QQ by 5, we obtain another quotient say qq and remainder 4, thus
we can write Q=5q+4.Q=5q+4.

It follows that n=4(5q+4)+1=20q+17.n=4(5q+4)+1=20q+17.
Since n=20q+17=5(4q+3)+2n=20q+17=5(4q+3)+2, it means that when dividing nn
by 5 first, we get a quotient 4q+34q+3 and remainder 2.
Then dividing 4q+34q+3 by 4 we obviously obtain a remainder of 3.
Q 39. Average salary of 17 teachers is 45000.3 teachers left and the average

a)173000 b) 176000 c) 170000 d) 85000
Solution- Total Initial Salary : 17*45000 = 765000
Average Salary After removal of 3 Teachers = 45000-2500 = 42500
Total Final Salary : 14*42500 = 595000
Sum of Salaries of 3 teachers who left : 765000 - 595000 = 170000

Solution-First we have to select a bag and then we will draw a ball.
Probability of selection of both bags is equal =1/2
Now probability of blue ball taken from first bag = ( 1/2) x (3/11)
and probability of blue ball taken from second bag = (1/2) x (4/11)
So probability of blue ball = ( 1/2) x (3/11) + (1/2) x (4/11) = 7/22

Q 13. In a 3*3 square grid comprising 9 tiles each tile can be painted in red or blue
color. When the tile is rotated by 180 degree, there is no difference which can be
spotted. How many such possibilities are there?
a) 16 b)32 c)64 d)256
Solution-ans is 32 .
ans grid has to be rotated at 180 degrees.
hence,
11=33

12=32
13=31
21=23
22=22
31=13
32=12
33=11
cell 11-33 can be altered in 2 ways (as thr are 2 colours)
cell 12-32 can be altered in 2 ways
cell 13-31 can be altered in 2 ways
cell 21-23 can be altered in 2 ways
and , cell 22 can be altered in 2 ways
, so
2X2X2X2X2 = 32.

Q 14. Jake can dig a well in 16 days. Paul can dig the same well in 24 days. Jake,
Paul and Hari together dig the well in 8 days. Hari alone can dig the well in
option
A)48
B)96
C)24
D)32
Solution-1/x = 1/8 - (1/16 + 1/24)
so x=48

ans = 48 days

Q 15. For any two numbers we define an operation $ yielding another number, X $
Y such that following condition holds:
• X $ X = 0 for all X
• X $ (Y $ Z) = X $ Y + Z
Find the Value of 2012 $ 0 + 2012 $ 1912
Options
a) 2112
b) 100
c) 5936
d) Can not be determined
Solution-here $ represent the - operator so X-X=0 first condition
x$(y$z)=x-(y-z)=x-y+z
it can be written as x$y+z
2012-0+2012-1912=2112 so ans is 2112

Q 16. On a toss of two dice, A throws a total of 5. Then the probability that he will
throw another 5 before he throws 7 is
a)40% b) 45% c)50% d)60%
Solution-ans: 40%
Explanation:
total probabilities for getting 5 = 4/36
total probabilities for getting 7 = 6/36

Total Probability = 10/36
We need only 5, hence prob of getting only 5 is (4/36)/(10/36)
=40%

Q 17.
1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,1,1,2,2,2,2,3,3,3,3,3,3,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,4,…………………………………..
Then what is the 2320 position of the number in the sequence?
a) 2 b) 1c) 3 d) 4
Solution-answer is b)1
1,2,3,4(1-1time 2- 2times 3 3 4-4)=10 terms /completes cycle and starts from 1
1,2,3,4(1-2 2-4 3 6 4-8)= 20 terms /completes cycle and starts from 1
(1,2,3,4)each digit 3 time to its value =30 terms/completes cycle and starts from 1

10+20+30+40+50+. =x
x is nearer value to 2320 solving n(n+1)/2
10.(21.22)/2= 2310
analysing it 2310 completes cycle and starts from 1 again
now it 22 times
(1-22 times 2-44 times )
2320 position will occupied by 1

Q 18. In 2003, there are 28 days in February and there are 365 days in the year. In
2004, there are 29 days in February and there are 366 days in the year. If the date

March 11, 2003 is a Tuesday, then which one of the following would be the date
March 11, 2004 be?
A. Wednesday
B. Tuesday
C. Thursday
D. Monday
Solution-Every year day is increased by 1 odd day. Or in leap year it is increased
by 2 odd days.
so 11 march 2003 is tuesday,
11 march 2004 is thursday
C. Thursday

Q 19. How many 6 digit even numbers can be formed from digits 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 so
that the digit should not repeat and the second last digit is even?
a)6480 b)320 c)2160 d)720
solution-given 6th digit even number , so last digit 2 or 4 or 6-> 3 ways
" 5th digit should be even...so there will be 2 ways(rep. not allowed)
so,therefore we get 5*4*3*2*2*3=720 ways

Q 20. There are 5 letters and 5 addressed envelopes. If the letters are put at
random in the envelops, the probability that all the letters may be placed in
wrongly addressed envelopes is.
a)119 b)44 c)53 d)40

Solution-If there is one letter and one envelope then no way you can put it
wrong(S1).
If there are 2 letters and 2 envelopes then you can put them wrong in 1 way(S2).
If there are 3 letters and 3 envelopes then you can put them wrong in 2 ways(S3).
If there are 4 then you can put them wrong in 9 ways(S4).
If there are 5 then you can put them wrong in 44 ways(S5).
If you observe you can find a pattern.
S3=(S1+S2)*2
S4=(S2+S3)*3
S5=(S3+S4)*4
S6=(S4+S5)*5
In general, Sn=(Sn-2 + Sn-1)*(n-1)
So, if there are 5 letters then S5=(S3+S4)*4=(2+9)*4=44

Q 21. How many liters of a 90% of concentrated acid needs to be mixed with a
75% solution of concentrated acid to get a 30 liter solution of 78% concentrated
acid?
a) 8 b)9 c) 7 d)6

Solution-the concentration is given which is wrt 100, hence we can take x lt of
90% and (30-x)of 75%

x*90 + (30-x)*75 = 30*78 hence the ans is 6 ltr...

Solution- a+b+c=144
a+b+c+d=188
d=44
e=47
b+c+d+e=192
b+c=101
b=43 ans.

Q 23. On a certain assembly line, the rejection rate for Hyundai i10s production
was 4 percent, for Hyundai i20s production 8 percent and for the 2 cars combined
7 percent. What was the ratio of Hyundais i10 production?
option
a) 3/1
b) 2/1
c) 1/1
d) ½
Solution-let the no of i10 cars be x and i20 be y
now th rejcted i10 cars are 4x/100 and i20 cars are 8y/100

and it is given that 4x/100 +8y/100 = 7(x+y)/100
so we get y = 3x
so the ratio is 3:1
