Take all the first digit of all the words
d+2=f , f+3=i , i+4=m, Hence m+5=R
Take all the second digit of all the words
m-2=k , k-3=h , h-4=d , Hence d-5=Y
Take all the third and last digit of all the words
t+2=v, v+3=y, y+4=c, Hence c+5=H
Let’s consolidate the whole word = RYH.
Hence Sequence will be dmt, fkv, ihy, mdc, ryh..

Q. 51 A shopkeeper marks the price of an article 25 % above its cost price. After allowing 10% discount on the market price, the article is sold for ₹720. What is the difference (in ₹) between the cost price and market price of the article?
(A) 160
(B) 120
(C) 180
(D) 150
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Let the cost price be x
marked price=1.25x
Discount allowed=10%
MP-discount=SP
Therefore SP=0.9*1.25x
Given SP=720
(9/10)*(5/4)x=720
x=80*8
x=Rs 640
MP-CP=1.25x-x=0.25x
=640/4
=Rs 160

(A) 15.2
(B) 15.4
(C) 14.8
(D) 14.6
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
let the number of boys be 2x and girls be 3x
Sum of ages of all the boys=14.5*2x
=29x
Sum of ages of all the girls=15*3x
=45x
Sum of ages all the boys and girls=29x+45x
=74x
Total strength of the class=2x+3x=5x
Average=74x/5x
=14.8
Q. 55 Note-books are bought at 16 for ₹700 and sold at 11 for ₹500. How many notebooks should be sold to gain ₹450?
(A) 272
(B) 260
(C) 254
(D) 264
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Cost price of each book =Rs 700/16
Selling price of each book=Rs 500/11
Profit on each book=(500/11)-(700/16)
=100(3/176)
Total profit=450
let the number of books required be ‘n’
Therefore n*300/176 =450
n=88*3
n=264 books

(C) 23.8
(D) 21.6
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
let the income be Rs 100
Savings=Rs 16
Expenditure=100-16
=Rs 84
New income=100*1.2
=Rs 120
Savings =Rs 16
Expenditure=Rs 104
Percentage increase in the expenditure=((104-84)/84)*100
=2000/84
=23.8%

Q. 59 A can do ⅗th of a work in 12 days, B can do ⅓rd of that work in 15 days. They worked together for 12 days and then A left the work , B alone will complete the remaining work in?
(A) 9 days
(B) 6 days
(C) 4 days
(D) 5 days
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Given A does (3/5)th of work in 12 days
so A takes 12*5/3 =20 days for complete work
similarly B takes 15 days for (1/3)rd work and so for complete work it takes 45 days
LCM of 20 and 45 is 180 units
Each day ‘A’ does 180/20 =9 units of work
Each day ‘B’ does 180/45 = 4 units of work
So each day both can complete 13 units of work
In 12 days they complete 12*13=156 units of work
So 180-156-24 units
B can complete 24 units in 24/4 =6 days

(D) C
Answer: (C)
Explanation:

Percentage of units sold compared to manufactured by B=(32/45)*100=71.11
Percentage of units sold compared to manufactured by C=(26/36)*100=72.22
Percentage of units sold compared to manufactured by E=(40/54)*100=74.07
Answer is E

(A) 56.6
(B) 53.8
(C) 53.6
(D) 56.2
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Sum of 15 numbers=15*56=840
Sum of first 8 numbers=54.4*8=435.2
Sum of last 8 numbers=56.6*8=452.8
Sum of both=435.2+452.8=888
The eight number in the series=888-840
=48
Sum of the other 7 numbers=840-48
=792
Average of 14 numbers=792/14
=56.6

Q. 68 Working together A, B and C can complete a piece of work in 24 days. After working together for 4 days. C left the work. A and B completed the remaining work in 30 days. The number of days taken by C alone to complete the same work is:
(A) 60
(B) 54
(C) 72
(D) 90
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
Let the total work be 48 units
Number of units of work they together do on each day=48/24 =2 units
In 4 days they together do 4*2=8 units of work
So 48-8=40 units is left
This is done by (A) and (B) in 30 days and so their combined efficiency=40/30
=4/3
In each day (C) can do 2-(4/3)=2/3 units
So 48 units is done in 48*3/2=72 days
Q. 69 A sum of ₹ x is divided among A, B and C such that the ratio of shares of A and B is 3 : 4 and that of B and C is 5: 6. If C receives ₹1440 more than what A receives, then the value of x is?
(A) 9280
(B) 9000
(C) 9440
(D) 9600
Answer: (C)
Explanation:
A:B=3:4
A:B=15:20
B:C=5:6
B:C=20:24
A:B:C=15:20:24
sum =15a+20a+24a=59a
24a-15a=1440
9a=1440
a=160
Total=59*160
=9440
Q. 70 Let x be the least number which when divided by 10, 12, 14 and 16 leaves the remainders 2, 4, 6 and 8, respectively, but x is divisible by 17. When x is divided by 52, the quotient is:
(A) 96
(B) 92
(C) 95
(D) 99
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
The given number leaves the same negative remainder when divided by 2,4,6 and 8 i.e 2-10,4-12,6-14,8-16=-8 So the given number will be in the form of LCM(10,12,14,16)k-8
=1680k-8
for k=1,2 the number obtained is not divisible by 17
for k=3 we have 1680*3-8
=5040-8
=5032
Required number is 5032/52=96.76
Q. 71 Two alloys A and B contain copper and zinc in the ratio 7 : 2 and 5 : 3 respectively. How many kg of A and B must be melted in order to get an alloy of 44 kg containing copper and Zinc in the ratio 3 : 1?
(A) 24 kg, 20 kg
(B) 30 kg, 14 kg
(C) 28 kg, 16 kg
(D) 36 kg, 8 kg
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Copper in the (A) alloy=7/9
Copper in the (B) alloy=5/8
Copper in the resultant mixture=3/4
let the ratio in which they are mixed is x
By using the principle of allegation we have
x=((3/4)-(5/8))/((7/9)-(3/4))
x=(1/8)/(1/36)
x=9:2
Given 44 kg of mixture and so zinc copper present is (3/4)*44=33 kg
Therefore (7/9)*9y +(5/8)*2y =33
7y+(5y/4)=33
33y/4 =33
y=4
9y=36 kgs and 2y=8 kgs
Q. 72 Study the following table, (which shows the number of units of an item manufactured and sold by 5 companies) and answer the question.
The ratio of the number of units manufactured by companies C and E together and the number of units sold by A and D together is?
(A) 15 : 11
(B) 17 : 15
(C) 24 : 13
(D) 15 : 13
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
total number of units manufactured by C and E together is 36+54=90 units
total number of units sold by A and D together is 30+36=66 units
ratio=90/66
=15:11
Q. 73 A person bought 80 m cloth at ₹110 per m and sold 75 % of it at a gain of 6 %. At what gain percent did he sell the remaining cloth, if he gained 10% on his outlay?
(A) 26%
(B) 22%
(C) 28%
(D) 24%
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Given that 1m cost= Rs 110
Total cost price=110*80
=8800
Total profit =10%
Therefore total SP=1.1 CP
=1.1 *8800
=Rs 9680
75% of cloth=80*(3/4)
=60m
It is sold at 6% profit so CP of 60m cloth=60*110=6600
SP of 60m cloth=1.06*6600
