Solution

117% of 459.88 - 162% of 143.02.
~117% of 460-162% of 143.
=$\FRAC{117\times460}{100}-\frac{162\times143}{100}$.
=$\frac{53820}{100}-\frac{23166}{100}$.
=$538.20-231.66$.

According to Vijay?s mother. Vijay reached Mumbai after 13th January, 2013 but before 19th January, 2013. According to Vijay, he reached Mumbai after 16th January, 2013 but before 22nd January, 2013. If both are correct then on which date Vijay reached Mumbai ?1). 16th January, 20132). 17th January, 20133). 18th January, 20134). 19th January, 2013

Answer»

Solution

According to Vijay’s mother, Vijay reached Mumbai after 13th January, 2013 but before 19th January, 2013

=> Date at which Vijay reached Mumbai (JAN, 2013) = {14,15,16,17,18}

According to Vijay, he reached Mumbai after 16th January, 2013 but before 22ND January, 2013

=> Date at which Vijay reached Mumbai (Jan, 2013) = {17,18,19,20,21}

Since both of them correct, thus correctdate on which Vijay reached Mumbai is the INTERSECTION of both SETS

= 17 or 18 January

Still, we cannot conclude to a specific date, thus the correct data cannot be determined.

=> Ans - (E)

Solution

Let UNKNOWN QUANTITY be 'x'.
3567.43 + 2788.17 - x = 1379.56.
6355.60-x=1379.56.
x=6355.60-1379.56.
x=4976.04.
Hence, OPTION B is CORRECT.

12 men can finish a project in 20 days. 18 women can finish the same project in 16 days and 24 children can finish it in 18 days. 8 women and 16 children worked for 9 days and then left. In how many days will 10 men complete the remaining project ?1). $$10\frac{1}{2}$$2). 103). 94). $$11\frac{1}{2}$$

Answer»

Solution

12 men can finish the project in 20 days.

=> 1 day work of 1 man = $\frac{1}{12 \times 20} = \frac{1}{240}$

Similarly, => 1 day work of 1 woman = $\frac{1}{18 \times 16} = \frac{1}{288}$

=> 1 day work of 1 CHILDREN = $\frac{1}{24 \times 18} = \frac{1}{432}$

8 WOMEN and 16 children worked for 9 days

=> Work done in 9 days = $9 \times (8 \times \frac{1}{288}) + (16 \times \frac{1}{432})$

= $9 \times (\frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{27}) = 9 \times \frac{7}{108}$

= $\frac{7}{12}$

=> Work left = $1 - \frac{7}{12} = \frac{5}{12}$

$\therefore$ Number of days taken by 10 men to complete the remaining work

= $\frac{\frac{10}{240}}{\frac{5}{12}} = \frac{1}{24} \times \frac{12}{5} = \frac{1}{10}$

Thus, 10 men will complete the remaining the work in 10 days.

In a class, the average weight of 80 boys is 64 kg and that of 75 girls is 70 kg. After a few days, 60% of the girls and 30% of the boys leave. What would be the new average weight of the class (in kg)? Assume that the average weight of the boys and the girls remain constant throughout.1). 632). 66.093). 68.54). 65.5

Answer»

Solution

Initially, number of boys = 80 and number of girls = 75

Average weight of boys = 64 kg and average weight of girls = 70 kg

Now, 60% of the girls and 30% of the boys LEAVE

=> Boys LEFT = $\frac{100 - 30}{100} \TIMES 80 = 56$

Girls left = $\frac{100 - 60}{100} \times 75 = 30$

Since, average weight of the boys and the girls remains constant throughout

$\therefore$ New average weight of the class

= $\frac{(56 \times 64) + (30 \times 70)}{56 + 30} = \frac{3584 + 2100}{86}$

= $\frac{5684}{86} = 66.09$ kg

12.

Answer»

Solution

73% of 5800 = (70+3)% of 5800 = 4060+174 = 4234

69% of 240 = (70-1)% of 240 =168-2.4 = 165.6

Hence, ANSWER will be = 4234 - 165.6 = 4068.4

13.

Answer»

Solution

25% of 960 + 55% of 740.
=$\FRAC{25\times960}{100}+\frac{55\times740}{100}$.
=$240+407$.
=$647$.
HENCE, Option B is CORRECT.

14.

Answer»

Solution

Expression : 432.62 - 269.21 $\div$(11.9 % of 78) =?

= $432 - (270 \times \frac{1}{\frac{12}{100} \times 78})$

= $432 - (270 \times \frac{100}{936})$

= $432 - 29 = 403$

$\approx 400$

15.

Answer»

Solution

Expression : ? % of (767 ÷ 6) = 7.889²

=> $x \%$ of $\frac{768}{6} = (8)^2$

=> $\frac{x}{100} \times 128 = 64$

=> $x = 64 \times \frac{100}{128}$

=> $x = \frac{100}{2} = 50$

The product of two consecutive even numbers is 7568. What is 150% of the sum of the two numbers?1). 2042). 2613). 3044). 198

Answer»

Solution

Let EVEN numbers be '2n' and '2n+2'.
According to question,
$2n\times(2n+2)=7568$.
$4n(n+1)=7568$.
$n(n+1)=1892$.
$n=43$.
HENCE, numbers are 86 and 88 respectively.
Sum of numbers=86+88.
=174.
150% of sum of numbers=$1.5\times174$.
$=261$.
Hence, Option B is correct.

In a class, the average weight of 40 boys is 65 kg and that of 50 girls is 60 kg. After a few days, 40% of the girls and 50% of the boys leave. What would be the new average weight of the class (in kg)? Assume that the average weight of the boys and the girls remains constant throughout.1). 652). 623). 684). 55

Answer»

Solution

Initially, number of boys = 40 and number of girls = 50

Average weight of boys = 65 kg and average weight of girls = 60 kg

Now, 40% of the girls and 50% of the boys leave

=> Boys left = $\FRAC{100 - 50}{100} \times 40 = 20$

Girls left = $\frac{100 - 40}{100} \times 50 = 30$

SINCE, average weight of the boys and the girls remains constant throughout

$\THEREFORE$ New average weight of the class

= $\frac{(20 \times 65) + (30 \times 60)}{20 + 30} = \frac{1300 + 1800}{50}$

= $\frac{3100}{50} = 62$ kg

18.

The difference between 20% of a number and 4/5 th of the same number is 2499. What is 2/7 th of that number ?1). 21562). 11903). 10904). 1465

Answer»

Solution

Let number be 'N'.
It is given,
4/5th of n-20% of n=2499.
$\frac{4}{5}n-\frac{1}{5}n=2499$.
$\frac{3}{5}n=2499$.
$n=4165$.
2/7th of n=$\frac{2}{7}4165$.
=1190.
Hence, OPTION B is CORRECT.

Jar A contains 78 litres of milk and water in the respective ratio of 6 : 7. 26 litres of the mixture was taken out from Jar A. What quantity of milk should be added to jarA, so that water constitutes 40% of the resultant mixture in jar A?1). 8 litres2). 36 litres3). 12 litres4). 14 litres

Answer»

Solution

Jar A has 78 litres of mixture of milk and water in the respective RATIO of 6 : 7

=> Quantity of milk in Jar A = $\frac{6}{13} \times 78 = 36$ litres

Quantity of water in Jar A = $78 - 36 = 42$ litres

26 litres of the mixture was taken out from Jar A, i.e., $\frac{26}{78} = (\frac{1}{3})^{rd}$

=> Milk left = $36 - \frac{1}{3} \times 36 = 24$

Water left = $42 - \frac{1}{3} \times 42 = 28$

Let milk added to jar A = $x$ litres

Acc. to QUES, => $\frac{24 + x}{28} = \frac{60}{40}$

=> $\frac{24 + x}{28} = \frac{3}{2}$

=> $48 + 2X = 84$

=> $2x = 84 - 48 = 36$

=> $x = \frac{36}{2} = 18$ litres

20.

The sum of a series of 5 consecutive odd numbers is 225 The second number of this series is 15 less than the second lowest number of another series of 5 consecutive ever numbers. What is 60% of the highest number of this series of consecutive even numbers -1). 36.02). 34.63). 38.44). 40.8

Answer»

Solution

Let the five consecutive odd numbers in increasing order = $(x-4) , (x-2) , (x) , (x+2) , (x+4)$

SUM of these numbers = $(x-4) + (x-2) + (x) + (x+2) + (x+4) = 225$

=> $5x = 225$

=> $x = \frac{225}{5} = 45$

Thus, the odd numbers are = 41 , 43 , 45 , 47 , 49

Let another series of even numbers in increasing order = $(y-4) , (y-2) , (y) , (y+2) , (y+4)$

Also, $43 = (y - 2) - 15$

=> $y = 43 + 15 + 2 = 60$

Thus, HIGHEST number of the even series = 60 + 4 = 64

$\therefore$ 60% of 64 = $\frac{60}{100} \TIMES 64 = 38.4$

21.

At its usual speed, a 150 metre long train crosses a platform of length L metres in 24 seconds. AT 75% of its usual speed, the train crosses a vertical pole in 12 seconds. What is the value of L?1). 2502). 2253). 2404). 260

Answer»

Solution

Let speed of the train = $20x$ m/s

Now, 75% of the speed = $\frac{75}{100} \times 20x = 15x$ m/s

LENGTH of train = 150 m

Time taken to CROSS the pole = 12 sec

Using, $speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

=> $15x = \frac{150}{12}$

=> $x = \frac{10}{12} = \frac{5}{6}$

Length of platform = $l$ m

Acc. to ques, => $20x = \frac{150 + l}{24}$

=> $20 \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{150 + l}{24}$

=> $\frac{50}{3} = \frac{150 + l}{24}$

=> $150 + l = 400$

=> $l = 400 - 150 = 250$ m

22.

Answer»

Solution

Expression : 459.85 + 519.82 = ?% of 1399.92

=> $460 + 520 = \frac{X}{100} \TIMES 1400$

=> $980 = 14x$

=> $x = \frac{980}{14} = 70$

23.

Answer»

Solution

Expression : 83% of 6242 X 12% of 225 = ?

= $(\FRAC{83}{100} \TIMES 6242) \times (\frac{12}{100} \times 225)$

= $5180.86 \times 27$

= $139883.22$
