Directions: (Q 1- 6) In the following line graph, Line P shows the per cent by which the marked price of an article is above the cost price, and Line Q shows the discount per cent on 5 different products. Study the Line graph carefully and answer the following questions.

 

Que 1. If the selling price of article A is Rs.3450, then find the cost price of the article. 

A) Rs.  2700 

B) Rs. 3100 

C) Rs. 2300 

D) Rs. 2500 

E) Rs. 3000 

Answer: C 

Explanation : 

Selling price (SP) = 3450 ; MP = 150% above CP ; Discount = 40%

CP           MP                         SP 

100         250               (250 × 60/100) = 150 

150 units(SP) = 3450 

=> 100 units (CP) = 3450 × (100/150) = 2300. 

∴ The cost price is Rs.2300.

Here the correct option is C.

Que 2. If the discount percent on article C is further increased by 10%, then find the selling price of the article if the cost price of the article is Rs.2500. 

A) Rs. 800 

B) Rs. 970 

C) Rs.1020 

D) Rs.1080 

E) Rs.1210 

Answer: D 

Explanation : 

Cost price of C= 2500 ; Discount = 80% : MP = 140% above CP 

MP = 2500 × 240/100 = 6000 

SP = 6000 × 20/100 = 1200 

Selling price (SP) after Additional 10% discount = 1200 × 90/100 = Rs.1080 

∴ The selling price of the article = Rs.1080.

Here the correct option is D.

 

Que 3. Find the ratio of the selling price of article E and the marked price of article D, if the cost price of article D is two times the cost price of article E. 

A) 9 : 35 

B) 12 : 37 

C) 15 : 61 

D) 7 : 29 

E) 12 : 41

Answer: A 

Explanation : 

Let, CP of E = x 

CP of D = 2x 

MP of article E = x  Ã— (225/100) = 9x/4.

SP of article E = 9x/4 × (40/100) = 18x/20.

MP of article D = 2x ×(175/100) = 7x/2.

∴ Required ratio = (18x/20) : (7x/2) = 9 : 35

Here the correct option is A.

 

Que 4. Find the loss percent on article B if a further discount of 9.09% is given on the article. 

A) 10%

B) 20%

C) 30%

D)50%

E) 40%

Answer : D 

Explanation : 

CP of B = 100 

MP of B = 220 

SP of B = 220 × (25/100) = 55 

SP of B after further discount of 9.09%                 = 55 × (90.91/100) = 50 

∴ Required loss percentage =(50/100 × 100) = 50%

Here the correct option is D.

 

Que 5. If the cost price of article D is four times the cost price of article C and the selling price of article C is Rs.1440 then find the difference in the loss on selling article C and article D. 

A) Rs. 42 

B) Rs. 60 

C) Rs. 35 

D) Rs. 55 

E) Rs. 49 

Answer: B 

Explanation : 

Let the cost price of Article D = 100 

The cost price of article C = 25 

MP of article D = 175 

MP of article C = 25 × 240/100 = 60 

Selling price of article D = 175 × (50/100) = 87.5 

Selling price of article C = 60 × (20/100) = 12 

Now, the selling price of article C = Rs.1440 

12 units = 1440 

1 unit = 120 

So, Cost price of article C = 25 × 120 = Rs.3000 

The selling price of article C = Rs.1440 

Loss = (3000-1440) = Rs.1560 

Cost price of article D = 100 × 120 = Rs.12000 

Selling price of article D = 87.5 × 120 = Rs.10500 

Loss = (12000-10500) = Rs.1500 

∴ The required difference = (1560 – 1500) = Rs.60 

Here the correct option is B.

 

Que 6. Find the ratio of marked price to selling price by selling an article B. 

A) 4 : 1 

B) 4 : 3 

C) 5 : 2 

D) 3 : 5 

E) 4 : 7 

Answer: A 

Explanation : 

CP           MP                         SP 

100         220            220×(25/100)=55 

∴ Required ratio of marked price (MP) to selling price (SP) = 220 : 55  = 4 : 1

Here the correct option is A.

 

Que 7. The area of a square is 1764 m² (approx) and the breadth of a rectangle is 1/3 of the side of a square. If the length is 4m less than breadth, then find the area (in m²) of a rectangle. 

A) 125 m²

B) 132 m²

C) 140 m²

D) 150 m²

E) 200 m² 

Answer: C 

Explanation : 

Side of the square =√(area) = √1764 = 42 m 

Breadth of rectangle = 42 × (1/3) = 14 m 

Length of rectangle = (14 – 4) = 10 m

∴ The area of the rectangle = (length × breadth) = 14×10 =140 m² 

Here the correct option is C.

 

Que 8. A person sold an article for Rs.806. If it is sold for Rs. 38 more, then the total selling price will become 20% more than the cost price of the article. Original Selling price is how much percent more than the cost price? 

A) 15% 

B) 21% 

C) 25% 

D) 12% 

E) 16% 

Answer: A 

Explanation : 

CP                SP 

100              120 

120 unit = (806+38) 

100 unit (CP) = 844 × (100/120) = 704(approximately) 

Original Selling price = 806 

∴ Profit percent = (806 – 704)/704  Ã— 100 = 15%(approximately)

 Here the correct option is A.

 

Que 9. An article is sold for 12.5% more than the cost price. The selling price is 90% of the marked price. If the article is sold for Rs.31.25 less than the marked price, then find the loss percentage. 

A) 7.80% 

B) 10.40% 

C) 12.75% 

D) 15.50% 

E) Can’t be determined 

Answer: E 

Explanation : 

12.5% = 1/8 

Cost price (CP) = 800 

Profit = 100 

Selling price = (800 + 100) = 900 

Here, selling price > cost price 

So, no loss is occurring here. 

Here the correct option is E.

 

Que 10. A boat covers a certain distance in 4 hours in upstream and covers 2 km less distance in downstream in 3 hours. If the speed of the stream is 2 km/hour then find the distance covered by the boat in upstream. 

A) 40 km 

B) 46 km 

C) 56 km 

D) 62 km 

E) 68 km 

Answer: C 

Explanation : 

Let, Speed of boat = x km/hr 

Total distance = D km 

Distance = Speed × Time

Now, from the Question

D/(x-2) = 4 

=> D = 4x – 8     ———-(1) 

(D – 2)/(x + 2) = 3 

=> D – 2 = 3x + 6 

=> D = 3x + 8   ———–(2) 

Equating equation (1) & (2),we get 

4x – 8 = 3x + 8 

=> x = 16 

Speed of boat = 16 km/hr  

From equation (1), we get 

D = 4 × 16 – 8 = 56 km 

∴ Required distance = 56 km

Here the correct option is C.

 

Directions (Q 11-15): Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions : 

In three different colleges, there are three branches Mechanical engineering, Civil engineering and Electrical engineering. The total number of students in college B is 760. The number of students in Mechanical engineering in college B is 300. The number of students in Electrical engineering in college C is twice the number of Mechanical engineering in the same college. The number of students in Mechanical engineering in college B is 60% of the students in the number of students in the same branch in college A. The number of Civil engineering is half the number of Mechanical engineering in college A and 50 more than the number of students in Electrical engineering from college C. The total number of students in Civil engineering in college B is 160 more than the number of students in Electrical engineering in college C. The total number of students in Civil engineering in all the colleges together is 750. The number of students in Electrical engineering in college A is 50% more than the number of students in same branch in college B. 

Solution (11-15): 

Total number of students in college B = 760 

Mechanical engineering students in college B  = 300 

Electrical engineering students in college C  = 2 × Mechanical engineering students in  college A 

Let Mechanical engineering students in college A = X 

Now, 

60% of X = 300 

=> X = 300 × (100/60) 

=> X = 500 

Mechanical engineering students in college A  = 500 

Civil engineering students in college A = 500/2  = 250 

Electrical engineering students in college C + 50 = Civil engineering students in college A 

Electrical engineering in college C = 250 – 50 = 200 

Mechanical engineering in college C = 200/2 = 100 

Civil engineering in college B = Electrical engineering in college C + 160 

=> C.E in B = 200 + 160 

=> Civil engineering in college B = 360 

Civil engineering students in all colleges together = 750 

Civil engineering in college C = 750 – (250 + 360) = 140 

Electrical engineering in college A = 150% of electrical engineering in college B 

Electrical engineering in college B = 760 – (360 + 300) = 100 

Electrical engineering students in college A = 100 × (150/100) = 150

Que 26. A can do a piece of work in 20 days while B can do the same piece of work in 30 days. They started working together and after 6 days A left work. Two days later B is joined by C. If the work is completed in the same time as before then how much percentage efficient is C more than A? 

A) 50% 

B) 60% 

C) 40% 

D) 75% 

E) 25%

Answer: A 

Explanation : 

LCM of 20 and 30 = 60 (total work) 

A’s 1 day work = 60/20 = 3 

B’s 1 day work = 60/30 = 2 

(A+B) together complete the work in = 60/(2+3) =12 days 

A’s 6 days work = 3 × 6 = 18 

B’s (6+2)=8 days work = 2 × 8 = 16 

Remaining work [60 – (18 + 16)] = 26 done by B and C together in (12 – 8) = 4 days. 

B’s 4 days work = 4 × 2 = 8 

Remaining work done by C in 4 days. 

So C’s 4 days work = (26 – 8) = 18 

C’s 1 day work = 18/4 = 4.5 

Efficiency ratio of A and C = 3 : 4.5 

Required percentage = (4.5 – 3)/3 ×100 =50% 

∴ C is 50% more efficient than A.

Here the correct option is A.

 

Que 27.  A square is inscribed in a circle and another circle is inscribed in the square in such a way that it touches the sides of a square. If the radius of the smaller circle is 14√2 cm, then find the circumference of the larger circle. 

A) 77 cm 

B) 88 cm 

C) 144 cm 

D) 154 cm 

E) 176 cm 

Answer: E

Explanation : 

Side of the square = 2 × 14√2 = 28√2 cm 

Here, the diameter of the bigger circle is equal to the diagonal of the square. 

Diagonal of the square = √2 × side = √2 × 28√2 = 56 cm 

Diameter of the bigger circle = 56 cm 

Radius of the bigger circle = 56/2 = 28 cm 

Circumference of the larger circle = 2Ï€r  =2 × 22/7 × 28 = 176 cm 

∴ The required circumference of the larger circle = 176 cm.

Here the correct option is E.

 

Que 28.  The present age of the mother is 42 years. After 12 years the ratio of ages of father and mother is 10 : 9 and the ratio of present ages of their son and daughter is 5 : 6. Father’s present age is four times the present age of daughter. Find the sum of the ages of son and daughter after 12 years. 

A) 36 years 

B) 46 years 

C) 42 years 

D) 50 years 

E) 55 years 

Answer: B 

Explanation : 

Let, 12 years ago the age of the Father and mother be 10x and  9x respectively. 

9x = 42 + 12 

x = 6 

12 years ago father’s age = 10 × 6 = 60 years. 

Present age of Father = (60 – 12) = 48 years. 

Present age of daughter = 48 × (1/4) = 12 years 

The ratio of Present age of son and daughter = 5 : 6 

Let, the present age of the son and daughter be 5y and 6y respectively. 

6y = 12 

y = 2 

Present age of son = 5 × 2 = 10 years 

After 12 years,  son’s age =10 + 12 = 22 years 

After 12 years, daughter’s age =12 + 12 = 24 years 

Sum of ages of son and daughter after 12 years = (22 + 24) = 46 years. 

Here the correct option is B.

 

Que 29. A container contains 96 litres mixture of milk and water with 35% milk. If 16 litres of the mixture is taken out and then 10 litres of water is added. What is the ratio of milk and water in the new mixture? 

A) 9 : 14 

B) 13 : 27 

C) 11 : 17 

D) 14 : 31 

E) 50 : 51 

Answer : D

Explanation : 

Remaining mixture after taken out 16 litres mixture = (96 – 16) = 80 L 

Milk in the remaining mixture = 80 × (35/100) L = 28 L 

Water in the remaining mixture = (80 – 28) = 52 L 

Total Quantity of water after 10 L of water added = (52 + 10) = 62 L 

The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 28 : 62 = 14 : 31 

∴ the required ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 14 : 31

Here the correct option is D.

 

Que 30. The simple Interest for 2 years is Rs.4200. The difference between the compound interest and simple interest for 2 years is Rs.420. Find the Compound interest for 3 years. 

A) 6220 

B) 6680 

C) 7644 

D) 7995 

E) 8550

Answer: C 

Explanation : 

Simple interest for 1 year = 4200/2 = Rs.2100 

Rate of interest = (420/2100) × 100% = 20% 

Difference between CI and SI for 2 years = P×(R/100)² 

=> 420 = P × (20 × 20)/(100 × 100) 

=> P = 10500 

Rate = 20% = 1/5

Principal            Amount 

    5                           6 

    (5)³                      (6)³       (for 3 years) 

  125                       216 

CI for 3 years = (216 – 125) = 91 

125 units = 10500 

91 units = (10500/125) × 91 =Rs. 7644 

∴  The compound interest for 3 years is = Rs.7644 

Here the correct option is C.

 

Directions (Q 31-33): Two friends Aasu and Chandan started a business in which Aasu invests Rs.12600 and Chandan invested 1/3 rd of the amount invested by Aasu. Aasu left the business after 5 months and at the same time Sandhu joins with the investment of Rs.6000. At the end of one year, Chandan receives Rs.3000 as a share of the profit. 

Solution (31-33):

Investment of Aasu = 12600 

Investment of Chandan = 12600 × 1/3 = 4200 

Investment of Sandhu = 6000 

Profit share of Aasu,Chandan and Sandhu = (12600 × 5) : (4200 × 12) : (6000 × 7) = 105 : 84 : 70 

According to the question, 

84 units = 3000 

1 unit = 3000/84 

Profit share of Aasu = 105 × (3000/84) = 3750 

The profit share of Chandan = 3000

Directions (Q 46-50): Given below are quantities named A and B. Based on the given information, you have to determine the relationship between the two quantities. You should use the given data and your knowledge of mathematics to choose among the possible answer. 

Que.46

Quantity A: The average weight of 4 students is 40 kg. If one more person joins the team then the average weight becomes 42 kg, then find the weight of the new person. 

Quantity B: The price of sugar increases by 20% and the person can buy 9 kg less sugar. Find the final quantity of sugar he has. 

A) Quantity A > Quantity B 

B) Quantity A < Quantity B 

C) Quantity A ≥ Quantity B 

D) Quantity A ≤ Quantity B 

E) Quantity A = Quantity B or No relation. 

Answer: A 

Explanation : 

Quantity A : 

Average weight of 4 students = 40 kg 

Total weight of 4 students = 40 × 4 = 160 kg 

Average weight of 5 students = 42 kg 

Total weight of 5 students = 42 × 5 = 210 kg 

The weight of new person = (210 – 160) = 50 kg 

Quantity B : 

20% = 1/5 

Original        Increased 

     5                    6                 (price) 

     6                    5                (Consumption) 

As we know price is inversely proportional to consumption. 

(6 – 5)=1 unit => 9 kg 

Consumption of sugar after increment of price     = 5 × 9 = 45 kg 

So, Quantity A > Quantity B. 

Here the correct option is A.

 

Que 47.  Determine the total cost to paint all the walls of the cuboid. 

Statement I. The perimeter of the cuboid is 30 m.             

Statement  II. The cost of painting is Rs.25 per meter square. 

A) Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

B) Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

C) Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

D) Statement I and statement II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

E) Both the Statement I and II are needed to answer the question.

Answer: D 

Explanation : 

To paint all the walls of the cuboid we have to find the total surface area of the cuboid.

Statement I :

Perimeter of cuboid = 4 × (length + breadth + height) 

So, 4(length + breadth + height) = 30 

From here we can not find the total surface area. Because length, breadth, and height are not given.

Statement II : 

Total surface area of the cuboid = 2(lb + bh + lh) 

Total cost of paint of the walls of cuboid =2(lb+bh+lh) × 25 

l,b and h is not given, so we can not find the total cost. 

Statement I and statement II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

Here the correct option is D.

 

Que 48.  Find the weight of the new person. 

Statement I. The average of the 5 person’s weight is 65 kg. 

Statement II. One more person joins the group, then the new average weight becomes 68 kg. 

A) Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

B) Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

C) Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

D) Statement I and statement II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

E) Both the Statement I and II are needed to answer the question.

Answer: E

Explanation : 

Statement I : 

Total age of 5 person = 5 × 65 = 325 kg.

Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question. 

Statement II: 

Total age of 6 person = 6 × 68 = 408 kg.

Statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question. 

From statements I and II, we get 

Weight of new person = (408 – 325) = 83 kg. 

Both Statements I and II are needed to answer the question.

Here the correct option is E.

 

Que 49.  The compound interest after 5 years will be? 

Statement I. The sum of the amount Rs.5000 is received at a rate of 5% per annum. 

Statement II. The simple interest after one year is Rs.250. 

A) Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

B) Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

C) Either statement I alone or statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

D) Statement I and statement II together are not sufficient to answer the question.

E) Both the Statement I and II are needed to answer the question.

Answer: A

Explanation : 

Statement I : 

R = 5% , T = 5 years , Amount = 5000 , CI = ? 

Principal × (5/100) = 5000 

=> Principal = 100000 

It is clear from the statement I that we can calculate compound interest easily. 

Statement II : 

Simple interest = 250 

We can not calculate compound interest from statement II. 

Statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Here the correct option is A.
