Q. 52 A boat can cover 36 km downstream and 16 km upstream in 10 hours. It can cover 3 km downstream and 1.2 km upstream in 48 minutes. What is the speed (in km/hr) of the boat when going upstream?
(A) 2
(B) 2.5
(C) 3.5
(D) 4
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
let the speed of the boat=b
speed of the stream=s
Given (36)/(b+s) +(16)/(b-s) =10
(36b-36s+16b+16s)/((b-s)(b+s))=10
52b-20s=10(b-s)(b+s)
Also given (3)/(b+s) +(1.2)/(b-s) =4/5
(3b-3s+1.2b+1.2s)/((b-s)(b+s))=4/5
4.2b-1.8s=(4/5)(b+s)(b-s)
dividing both the equations we have
104b-40s=105b-45s
-b=-5s
b=5s
Substituting in the above equation
(3)/(5s+s) +(1.2)/(5s-s) =4/5
(1/2s)+(3/10s)=4/5
8/10s =4/5
s=1 km/hr
b=5 km/hr
Upstream speed=5-1
=4 km/hr
Q. 53 The value of [0.08 ÷ 1.2 of (3.4 − 2.6) × 0.8 of 3.2] of 9/16 lies between:

Q. 54 Study the following table and answer questions:
Number of students studying in five schools of a city
In how many schools, the number of girls is more than the average number of boys per school?
(A) 1
(B) 2
(C) 4
(D) 3
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Total number of boys in all the schools is
(9/17)*680=360
(4/9)*720=320
(5/18)*540=150
(2/3)*660=440
(13/25)*900=468
Sum=1838
average=1838/5 =367
Number of girls in each school=680-360=320
720-320=400
540-150=390
660-440=220
900-468=432
Therefore three schools have the girls more than average boys per school.
Q. 55 Two solutions of acid and water containing acid and water in the ratio 2 : 7 and 4 : 5, respectively are mixed in the ratio 2 : 5. What is the ratio of acid and water in the resulting solution?
(A) 8 : 13
(B) 3 : 7
(C) 8 : 17
(D) 2 : 1
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
acid content in 1st solution 2/9
acid content in second solution=4/9
They are mixed in the ratio 2:5
x is the acid present in the final mixture
By using the principle of allegations we have
((4/9)-x)/(x-(2/9))=2/5
(20/9)-5x=2x-(4/9)
7x=24/9
x=8/21
8 parts of acid and 13 parts of water.
Ratio=8/13

Q. 57 Suman sold an article for 882 after allowing 16% discount on its marked price. Had she not allowed any discount, she would have gained 20% on the cost price. What is the cost price ofthe article?
(A) 875
(B) 850
(C) 890
(D) 880
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
MP-discount=SP
MP-0.16MP=882
0.84MP=882
MP=882*100/84
Given in the second case MP=SP
Therefore 1.2CP=SP
CP=SP/1.2
CP=(882*100)/(84*1.2)
CP=875
Q. 58 Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 12 minutes and 15 minutes, respectively. When an outlet pipe C is also opened, then the three pipes together can fill the tank in 10 minutes. In how many minutes can C alone empty the full tank?
(A) 18
(B) 20
(C) 16
(D) 24
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Time taken for Pipe A to fill the tank=12 minutes
Time taken for Pipe B to fill the tank=15 minutes
Time taken for Pipe C to empty the tank=x minutes
Therefore (1/12)+(1/15)-(1/x)=(1/10)
(1/x)=(1/12)+(1/15)-(1/10)
(1/x)=(5+4-6)/60
(1/x)=3/60
x=20 minutes

Q. 61 The average weight of a certain number of persons in a group was 75.5 kg. Later on, 4 persons weighing (2x+y)/3x−y joined the group. As a result, the average weight of all persons in the group reduced by 500g. The number of persons in the group, initially, was:
(A) 20
(B) 16
(C) 18
(D) 24
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Let the number of people be ‘x’
Sum of the weights=75.5x
72.6 kg. 74 kg, 73.4 kg and 70 kg were added and average decreased to 75
Sum=290 kgs
Total sum=75.5x+290
Average=(75.5x+290)/(x+4)
(75.5x+290)/(x+4)=75
75.5x+290=75x+300
0.5x=10
x=20 people
Q. 62 Two numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6. If 16 is subtracted from each, the numbers will be in the ratio 3 : 4. If 8 is added to the first number and 3 is subtracted from the second, then they will be in the ratio:
(A) 14 : 13
(B) 16 : 15
(C) 15 : 16
(D) 13 : 14
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
let the two numbers be 5x and 6x
Given (5x-16)/(6x-16)=3/4
20x-64=18x-48
2x=16
x=18
Numbers are 40 and 48
8 is added it becomes 48 and 3 is subtracted it becomes 45
Ratio 48:45
=16:15

C’s CP=1.1*1.25x
C’s SP=0.6*1.1*1.25x
D’s CP=0.6*1.1*1.25x=46.20
0.825x=46.20
x=46.20/0.825
x=Rs 56

Q. 69 Working together, A, B and C can complete a work in 36 days. If the efficiency of A, B and are C in the ratio 5: 6: 9, then B alone will complete the same work in:
(A) 120 days
(B) 100 days
(C) 60 days
(D) 90 days
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Given the ratios of efficiencies 5:6:9 and so
A can do the work in (x/5) days
B can do the work in (x/6) days
C can do the work in (x/9) days
Therefore 1/(x/5) + 1/(x/6)+ 1/(x/9) =1/36
(5/x)+(6/x)+(9/x)=(1/36)
20/x =1/36
x=36*20
x=720
(B) can alone do in 720/6 =120 days
Q. 70 A person sells a watch at a profit of 26%. If he had bought it at 20% less and sold for ₹81.60 less, he would have gained 32%. What is the original cost price (in ₹) of the watch?
(A) 400
(B) 480
(C) 450
(D) 360
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Let the cost price =x
then selling price=1.26x
Given that if he purchased for 20% less then cost price will be 0.8x
Selling price is 81.6 less and so new selling price=1.26x-81.6
given profit percent=32
Therefore 1.32(0.8x)=1.26x-81.6
1.056x=1.26x-81.6
0.204x=81.6
x=81.6/0.204
x=400

(A) 14
(B) 19
(C) 13
(D) 16
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
As in this case each number leaves the same remainder we have to find the HCF of differences of the three numbers i.e 13841-12085=1756
16914-13841=3073
16914-12085=4829
HCF of these three numbers is 439
sum=4+3+9=16
Q. 72 The simple interest on a certain sum in 5½ years at 6% p.a. is ₹ 2541. what will be the amount of the same sum in 5⅔ years at 817% p.a.?
(A) ₹13125
(B) ₹11235
(C) ₹12153
(D) ₹11253
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
I=PTR/100
2541=P*(11/2)*(6)/100
P=(2541*200)/(66)
P=Rs 7700
I=PTR/100
I=7700*(17/3)*(57/7)/100
I=(7700*17*57)/(3*7*100)
I=RS 3553
A=P+I
A=7700+3553
A=11253
Q. 73 Study the following table and answer questions:
Number of students studying in five schools of a city
The total number of girls in schools B and C is what percent less than the total number of boys in schools A and D?
(A) 1.25
(B) 11.25
(C) 4
(D) 10
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
The total number of girls in schools B and C=720*(5/9)+540*(13/18)
=400+390
=790
the total number of boys in schools A and D=680*(9/17)+660*(2/3)
=360+440
=800
percentage required=(10/800)*100
=1.25%
Q. 74 A sum of ₹4107 is divided between A, B, C and D such that the ratio of shares of A and B is 3 :4, that of B and C is 2: 1 and that of C and D is 3 : 5. The share of B is:
(A) ₹1443

Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Given a:b=3:4
b:c=2:1
b:c=4:2
a:b:c=3:4:2
c:d=3:5
a:b:c=9:12:6
c:d=6:10
a:b:c:d=9:12:6:10
Sum=9x+12x+6x+10x
=37x
Therefore 37x=4107
x=4107/37
x=111
Share of (B) is 111*12=1332
