  • Question 1
    1 / -0.25

    Giri divided his property between his children Suma and Dev. Suma invested her share at 10% per annum simple interest and Dev invested his share compounded at 8% per annum. At the end of 2 years, the interest received by Suma is Rs 13,360 more than the interest received by Dev. What was Suma's share if the total amount divided was Rs 2,50,000?

    Solution

    Let’s say Dev’s share is Rs 's'.

    Then Suma gets Rs (250000 – s)

    Interest received by Dev compounded at 8% for 2 years:

    = s[1 + 8/100]2 – s

    = (27/25)2 s – s

    = 104 s / 625

    Interest received by Suma at 10% per annum simple interest would be

    =(250000 – s) x 10 x 2/100

    = [(250000 – s)/5(250000 – s)/5]

    = 104 s / 625 + 13,360

    Implies 625 (250000 – s) = 5 (104s + 625 x 13360);

    or s = Rs 1,00,000

    2,50,000 -1,00,000

    Hence Suma’s share = Rs 1,50,000. Option D is correct.

  • Question 2
    1 / -0.25

    How many arrangements of the word ABOVE are possible such that O is always in the middle?

    Solution

    If O is fixed in the middle then there are four places left to be filled by the remaining four alphabets (A, B, V, E).

    This can be done in 4! Ways. Thus, the total number of ways = 4!

    = 24

    Option D is correct.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0.25

    a, b, c are three distinct integers from 2 to 10 (both inclusive). Exactly one of ab, bc and ca is odd. abc is a multiple of 4. The arithmetic mean of a and b is an integer and so is the arithmetic mean of a, b and c. How many such triplets are possible (unordered triplets)?

    Solution

    Exactly one of ab, bc and ca is odd => Two are odd and one is even.

    abc is a multiple of 4 => the even number is a multiple of 4.

    The arithmetic mean of a and b is an integer => a and b are odd.

    and so is the arithmetic mean of a, b and c. => a + b + c is a multiple of 3.

    c can be 4 or 8.

    c = 4; a, b can be 3, 5 or 5, 9

    c = 8; a, b can be 3, 7 or 7, 9

    Four triplets are possible.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0.25

    A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are at the present at the time of your birth". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was:

    Solution

    Let the son's present age be x years.

    Then, according to question (38 - x) = x

    2x = 38.

    x = 19.

    Son's age 5 years back (19 - 5) = 14 years.

  • Question 5
    1 / -0.25

    Janta Airline has a free luggage allowance for its passengers. If any passenger carries excess luggage, it is charged at a constant rate per kg. The total luggage charge paid by Ravind Jekriwal and Pranas Shubhan is Rs. 1100. If both Ravind and Pranas had carried luggage twice the weight than they actually did, their luggage charges would have been Rs. 2000 and Rs. 1000 respectively. What was the charge levied on Ravind’s luggage?

    Solution

    Let the free luggage allowance be ‘f’ kg. Let the weight of the luggage carried by Ravind be ‘r’ kg and the weight of the luggage carried by Pranas be ‘p’ kg. Thus, the excess luggage weights carried by Ravind and Pranas respectively are (r – f) kg and (p – f) kg.

    Thus, the total luggage charge for both would be (r – f)k + (p – f)k if k is the charge per kg.

    Thus, (r – f)k + (p – f)k = 1100.

    (r + p – 2f)k = 1100 .......................(1)

    If Ravind carried twice the luggage weight he actually did, i.e., if he carried 2r kg, then the excess luggage weight he carried would have been 2r – f and the corresponding charge would have been (2r – f) k.

    Therefore, (2r – f)k = 2000 ................(2)

    Likewise, If Pranas carried twice the luggage he actually did i.e., if he carried 2p kg, then the excess luggage he carried would have been 2p –f and the corresponding charge would have been (2p – f) k.

    Therefore, (2p – f)k = 1000 ................(3)

    Adding (2) and (3) and simplifying, we get,

    (r + p – f)k = 1500 ........................(4)

    Dividing (4) by (1) and simplifying, we get,

    19f = 4r + 4p .............................(5)

    Dividing (2) by (3) and simplifying, we get,

    –f = 2r – 4p .............................(6)

    Solving (5) and (6) for r, we get,

    r = 3f ...................................(7)

    Subtracting (1) from (4) and simplifying, we get,

    fk = 400.

    Ravind’s luggage charge = (r – f)k.

    But, according to equation (7), r = 3f.

    Therefore, Ravind’s luggage charge = 2fk

    But, fk = 400.

    Therefore, Ravind’s luggage charge = Rs. 800.

    Hence, the answer is "Rs. 800".

  • Question 6
    1 / -0.25

    The figure below shows a box that has to be completely wrapped with paper. However, a single Sheet of paper needs to be used without any tearing. The dimension of the required paper could be:

    Solution

    Total surface area of the box = 2(4 * 6 + 1 * 6 + 1 * 4)

    = 2(24 + 6 + 4)

    = 68 cm2

    As the problem says, paper can’t be torn/cut a portion of paper will need to be fold, so, the area of paper required would be greater than 68 cm2.

    Only option b) gives the area greater 68 cm2

    Hence, the answer is 12 cm by 6 cm

  • Question 7
    1 / -0.25

    The front wheel of a bus has a circumference of 137 cm, while the rear wheel has a circumference of 173 cm. If each front wheels makes 108 revolutions more than each rear wheel, what is the total distance that the bus travels?Note: Assume that each wheel completes integral number of revolutions.

    Solution

    The result has to be multiple of 137 and 173.

    Checking option-wise:137 × 173

    = 23,701137 × 173 × 2

    = 47,402137 × 173 × 3

    = 71,103137 × 173 × 4

    = 94,804137 × 173 × 8

    = 1,89,608

    Choosing 23,701, each front wheel will take 173 revolutions and each rear wheel will take 137 revolutions.

    Difference = 173 – 137 = 36

    Choosing 47,402, each front wheel will take 346 revolutions and each rear wheel will take 274 revolutions.

    Difference = 72

    Choosing 71,103, each front wheel will take 519 revolutions and each rear wheel will take 411 revolutions.

    Difference = 108

    Therefore, the correct option is C.

  • Question 8
    1 / -0.25

    Train A travelling at 63 kmph takes 27 to sec to cross Train B when travelling in opposite direction whereas it takes 162 seconds to overtake it when travelling in the same direction. If the length of train B is 500 meters, find the length of Train A.

    Solution

    Let the length of Train A be x meters

    Let speed of Train B be y kmph

    Relative distance = Relative speed * time taken to cross/overtake

    Crossing scenario:

    Relative speed of 2 trains = 63 + y

    Time taken to cross = 27 sec or 27/3600 hrs

    Relative distance between 2 trains = Length of Train A + length of train B = (x + 0.5) km

    Therefore, x + 0.5 = (63 + y) * 27 / 3600 ----- (1)

    Overtaking scenario:

    Relative speed of 2 trains = 63 – y

    Time taken to overtake = 162 sec or 162/3600 hrs

    Relative distance between 2 trains = x + 0.5

    Therefore, x + 0.5 = (63 – y) * 162/3600 --- (2)

    From (1) and (2), solve for y.

    (63 + y) * 27 = (63 – y) * 162

    27y + 162 y = 63*162 – 63 *27

    189y = 63 * 135 or y = 45 kmph

    Substitute in (2) to get x.

    x + 0.5 = (63 – 45) * 162/3600

    Or x = 0.31 km or 310 meters

  • Question 9
    1 / -0.25

    A train passes a station platform in 36 seconds and a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. If the speed of the train is 54 km/hr, what is the length of the platform?

    Solution

    Speed = 54 x518m/sec

    =15 m/sec

    Length of the train = (15 x 20)m = 300 m.

    Let the length of the platform be x metres.

    then,X+30036=15

    x + 300 = 540

    x = 240 m.

  • Question 10
    1 / -0.25

    A number X when divided by Y gives 25 as the remainder. When 3 times X is divided by Y, the remainder is 4. What is the value of Y?

    Solution

    According to the statement:-

    => X = YQ + 25

    So, 3 times of X = 3YQ + 75

    If 3 times of X is divided by Y gives a remainder 4

    Then (3YQ + 75) / Y gives a remainder 43YQ is divisible by Y and only when 75 is divided by 71 gives a remainder 4. Therefore the value of Y is 71.

    Hence, option D is correct.
