Directions (01-05): Total number of vehicles manufactured =
2018: 135000
Total number of vehicles manufactured = Number of vehicles sold = 135000 * 79% =
122000 106650
Number of vehicles sold = 122000 * 84% = 2020:
102480 Total number of vehicles manufactured =
2019: 114000

Number of vehicles sold = 114000 * 88% = Required average = (7383+4266+5124)/3 =

2021:
Total number of vehicles manufactured = 98000 4. Answer: D
Number of vehicles sold = 98000 * 73% = 71540 Required percentage (221000 – 174020)/174020
2022: * 100 = 26.99 ~ 27% more
Total number of vehicles manufactured =

Required difference = (98000 – 7000) – 7000 => Number of female visitors on Saturday of week 2
84000 = 53/100 * 600 = 318
Required ratio = 148 : 318 => 74 : 159
2. Answer: D
Total number of vehicles sold in 2020 = 100320 7. Answer: B

Number of vehicles exported in 2022 = 10% *
73830 = 7383 9. Answer: C
Number of vehicles exported in 2019 = 4% * Required difference = (650+700+680+600+820)
106650 = 4266 - (450+400+550+480+680) =
Number of vehicles exported in 2018 = 5% * => 3450 – 2560 = 890
102480 = 5124
10. Answer: B

Number of visitors on Thursday of week 1 = 400 Required value = 30/2 = 15

* 7/5 = 560
Number of visitors on Thursday of week 2 = 600 13. Answer: C
* 16/15 = 640 Initial quantity of milk = 80% of 415 = 332 liters
Required ratio = 560 : 640 = 7 : 8 Initial quantity of water = 415 – 332 = 83 liters
(332 + n)/(83+(n-11)) = 76/24
11. Answer: C (332 + n) / (72 + n) = 19/6
Simple interest rate for two years => 18% + 18% 1992 + 6n = 1368 + 19n
= 36% 624 = 13n
Compound interest rate for each 6 months => n = 48
12% Final quantity of milk = 332 + 48 = 380 liters
Let 100x be sum
Amount for first six months => 100x(100 + 14. Answer: D
12/100) => 112x Let present age of Anu, Banu and Charu be a, b
Amount for next six months => 112x(100 + and c respectively
12/100) => 125.44x (a+4)/b = 16/9
=> Interest rate for compounded half yearly is 9a + 36 = 16b
25.44 % 16b – 9a = 36 → (1)
Given difference => a = c + 6 → (2)
36% - 25.44% => 528 (b + 15)/ (c – 10) = 1/1
10.56% = 528 b + 15 = c – 10
100% = required sum c – b = 25 → (3)
Required sum => 100*528/10.56 = Rs. 5000 Subs (2) in (3)
a – 6 – b = 25
12. Answer: A a – b = 31 → (4)
x/100 * 10500 + 7/10 * (100-x)/100 * 10500 = 9a – 9b = 279
8295 16b – 9a = 36
10500/100 (x + 7/10 (100-x)) = 8295 7b = 315
105(10x + 700 – 7x)/10 = 8295 b = 45
3x + 700 = 82950/105 a = 31+45
3x = 790 – 700 a = 76
3x = 90 Required value = √(76+45) = 11
x = 30

15. Answer: A X’s one day work = 96/12 = 8

76500 * 85/100 * (100-x)/100 = 39015 Y’s one day work = 96/32 = 3
85(100-x) = 5100 Z’s one day work = 96/24 = 4
100 – x = 60 Y finished => 3*3 = 9 work
x = 40% X finished => 8*3 = 24 work
CP = 120/100 * 39015 = Rs. 46818 Z finished => 5*4 = 20 work
New SP = 46818 * 140/100 = Rs. 65545.2 Total work completed => 9+24+20 = 53
Profit price = 65545.2 – 46818 = Rs. 18727.2 Part of work left => (96-53)/96 = 43/96
16. Answer: C 18. Answer: A

Let x be speed of boat in still water and y be Volume of original cone, v = 1/3 π r2 h cm3
speed of stream New cone => r = 5r/3 and v = 8v/3
Upstream time = 800/60 = 40/3 hours 8v/3 = 1/3 π (5r/3)2 h cm3
x – y = 40/(40/3) Required ratio => 3v / π r2 : 8*9v / π 25 r2
x – y = 3 → (1) => 25 : 24
Downstream time = 600/60 = 10 hours
x + y = 60/10 19. Answer: D
x + y = 6 → (2) Speed of Joe be x and Speed of Emy be x + 15
Solving (1) and (2), Let D be the distance from P both will meet.
x = 4.5 km/hr 12 = D/(x+15)
Required time = 54/4.5 = 12 hours => 12*60 = 12x + 180 = D
720 minutes D – 12x = 180 → (1)
12 = (240-D)/x
17. Answer: B 12x = 240 – D
X + Z = 1/8 12x + D = 240 → (2)
Z = 1/8 – 1/12 Solving (1) and (2),
Z = 1/24 D = 210 km
Z takes 24 days Speed of Emy = 210/12 = 17.5 km/hr
X + Y + Z = 5/32
Y = 5/32 – 1/8 20. Answer: A
Y = 1 / 32 Let x be number of girls and (4750-x) be number
Y takes 32 days of boys.
Total work = lcm of 12, 32 and 24 => 96 14/100 * (x) – 17/100 (4750-x) = (4950 – 4750)

1/100 [14x – 80750 + 17x] = 200 31x = 100750

31x – 80750 = 20000 x = 3250
31x = 20000 + 80750 Required number = 3250 * 114/100 = 3705
