1).words starting with E = 4! = 24
words starting with I = 4! = 24
words starting with LE = 3! = 6
words starting with LIE = 2! = 2, LIO = 2! = 2
the first word with starting with LIV will be LIVEO
so rank = 24 + 24 + 6 + 2 + 2 + 1 = 59
Answer: d)
2).125% C.P. of sugar per kg = Rs. 4.25
C.P of the sugar per kg = [4.25×100] / 125 = Rs. 3.40.
thus, the profit on 1 kg 85 paise
by reducing price to 5 paise, to make same profit he must sell, 85/5 = 17kg
so required ratio = 1 : 17.
Answer: d)
3).work finished by 33 days = 33×117×8 = 30888 man hours
4/7th of the job is finished.
remaining work = 1-(4/7) = 3/7
if 4/7th of the work is 30888 hours, then 3/7th of the work = [30888 × (3/7)] / (4/7) = 23166 man hours
number of men required to finish 23166 man hours of work in 13 days, each now working 9 hours a day = 23166 = (no of man) × 13 × 9
number of men = 198
since, 117 men are already working, additional men required = 198 – 117 = 81
Answer: c)
4).LCM = 45× HCF
LCM + HCF = 46× HCF = 1150
HCF = 25, LCM =1125.
product of 2 numbers = LCM×HCF
required number = (25× 1125) / 125 = 225.
Answer: d)
5).Let number of students be X.
so, total Pencils = 7X + 3
7X + 3 = (7+2) (X-3)
or., 7X + 3 = 9X – 27
total Pencils = 7X + 3 = 108
Answer: e)
6).let P be the principal
160% of P amount means (1.6-1)P = 0.6P is the simple interest in 5 years
so, 0.6P = (P×5×R) / 100
or R = 12%
now we have to find time ‘n’ such that:
P(1+0.12)n = 2P
or 1.12n = 2
first we note that, time on compound interest will always be less than that of simple interest.
at 12% simple interest, time to double will be 100/12 = 8.3 years.
so the correct answer must be less than 8 years.
so, we choose 7 as the answer from the options
also : 1 .127 = 2.21
Answer: a)
7).portion of the tank filled by the pipe A in 1 hour = ½ of the tank
let the portion of the tank emptied because of the leak in 1 hour be 1/x of the tank
therefore, in 1 hour , portion of the tank filled = 1/2 - 1/x
because of the leak, total time taken to fill the tank = 2.5 hours
therefore, portion of the tank filled in 1 hour when the pipe is open and when it is leaking = 1/(2.5)
therefore,1/2 - 1/x = 1/2.5 or x = 10
hence, it takes 10 hours to empty a full tank
Answer: e)
8). Four years ago, sum of all the family members age = 4× 40 = 160
three years ago, sum of all the family members age = 164 + 23 = 187
last year, sum = 197 (187 + 5 + 5)
two years from now, sum = 197 + 18 = 215
hence, average = 215/6 = 35.8
Answer: e)
9).Let current age of Ram and his son be R,S
(R + 10) = 3(S + 10) [2 times older = 3 times the age]
R = 3S + 20
(R - 5) = 9(S - 5)
3S + 20 – 5= 9S – 45
3S + 15 = 9S – 45
or S = 10., R = 50
sum of ages 3 years from now = 10 + 3 + 50 + 3 = 66.
Answer: b)
10).let marked price be 100.
SP with 10%, 20% = 80% of (90% of 100) = 72.
profit = 20%
so CP = 72/1.20 = Rs. 60
by offering a flat discount of 30%, sales price = 70% of 100 = 70
profit = (70 - 60) ×100 / 60 = 16.67%
Answer: b)
