  1. 10
  2. 16
  3. 18
  4. 8
  5. Answer is: 10

  1. 4
  2. 6
  3. 8
  4. 10
  5. Answer is: 8
  1. Solution with Explanation
  2. There are 4 possiblilities :
    ⇒ 1+15 = 16 but 1*15≠48
    ⇒ 2+14 = 16 but 2*14≠48
    ⇒ 3+13 = 16 but 3*13≠48
    ⇒ 4+12 = 16 and 4*12 = 48. Thus, two numbers are 4 and 12
    ⇒ Thus, the difference between the two numbers is 12 – 4 = 8

Q 3. A man complete a journey in 10 hours. He travels first half of the journey at the rate of 21 km/hr, and second half at the rate of 24 km/hr. Find the total journey in km.

  2. 225 km
  3. 230 km
  4. 234 km
  5. Answer is: 225 km
  1. Solution with Explanation
  2. The first half of the journey ↔ Speed = 21 km/hr ; time = 5 hours
    ∴ distance = speed*time = 21*5 = 105 km
    The second half of the journey ↔ speed = 24 km/hr ; time = 5 hours
    ∴ distance = speed*time = 24*5 = 120 km
    total journey = 105 + 120 = 225 km

    After paying to charity, A’s share = 95 x 3/5 = Rs. 57.
    If A’s share is Rs. 57, total profit = Rs. 100.
    If A’s share Rs. 855, total profit = 100/57 x 855 = 1500.

    126 = 5*5*5 + 1
    the next will be

Q 12. A and B can finish a work together in 12 days, and B and C together in 16 days. If A alone works for 5 days and then B alone continues for 7 days, then remaining work is done by C in 13 days. In how many days can C alone finish the complete work?

  1. 15 days
  2. 24 days
  3. 45 days
  4. None of these
  5. Answer is: 24 days
  1. Solution with Explanation
  2. A = 5 days
    B works = 7 days
    C works = 13 days
    A + B  = 5 days
    ∴ They will do 5*4 units/day = 20 units
    Now 2 days are left for BB + C = 2 days
    ∴They will do 2*3 units/day = 6 units
    Total job done = 20 units + 6 units = 26 units
    Remaining work = 48 units – 26 units = 22 units
    total days left for C = 13 days – 2 days = 11 days∴ C does 22 units of work in 11 days
    Or, C does 2 units of work in 1 day
    Hence time taken by C to complete the whole work = 24 days

Q 13. Find x, if   25x – 19 – [ 3 – { 4x – 5 } ] = 3x – (6x – 5)

  1. x = 1
  2. x = -1
  3. x = 1/2
  4. x = 2
  5. Answer is: x = 1
  1. Solution with Explanation
  2. 25x – 19 – [ 3 – { 4x – 5 } ] = 3x – (6x – 5)
    25x – 19 – [3 – 4x + 5] = 3x – (6x – 5)
    25x – 19 – [8 – 4x] = 3x – (6x – 5)
    25x – 19 – 8 + 4x = 3x – 6x + 5)
    29x – 27 = -3x + 5
    29x + 3x = 27 + 5
    32x = 32
    x = 32/32
    x = 1

Q 14. When 35 is added to 5 times a certain number the result is 100, the number is:

  1. 12
  2. 65
  3. 13
  4. 25
  5. Answer is: 13
  1. Solution with Explanation
  2. Let the number be x
    ∴ 35 + 5x = 100
    5x = 100 – 35
    5x = 65
    x = 13

Q 15. Kabir buys an article with 50% discount on its marked price.  He makes a profit of 10% by selling it at Rs.660.  The marked price is :

  1. 685
  2. 700
  3. 600
  4. 800
  5. Answer is:  800
  1. Solution with Explanation
  2. Cost price for Kabir = 100/ (100+10)*660 = 600
    But this price is what he got after having a discount of 50%. Let the marked price be x.
    Then (100 – 25)% of x = 600
    x = Rs.800

  2. 65
  3. 66
  4. 45
  5. Answer is: 65
  1. Solution with Explanation
  2. Average = Sum of numbers/ number of observations
    For 11 numbers, sum = 11*30 = 330
    For first 5 numbers, sum = 5*25 = 125
    For last 5 numbers, sum = 5*28 = 140
    ∴ 330 – [140+125]
    65

    x = 600/25
    = 24
