ANSWERS
1. (2)
Total students are 40 × 15 = 600
So, 18 x 16 + (12 + 14) = 456
Left student is 10 and their average is =600-456= 144÷ 10=14.4
2. (1)
The interest in 2 years is 594.5 which is 10.25% of 5800. Hence the rate of interest is 5% p.a.
3. (2)
Upstream speed = 5 km/hr
Downstream speed = 15 km/hr
Speed of boat in still water = (5 + 15)/2 = 10 km/hr
Required time = 90/10 = 9 hrs
4. (4)
Let the rate of interest is=x
(X * 5000 * 2)/100 + (3000 * 4 * x)/100 = 2200
x = 10%
5. (4)
Let Car A takes t hrs to reach the place
Distance is same,
35 t = 55(t – 7/2)
T = 77/8
Distance = 35 * 77/8 = 336.87 km
6. (c)
Let the number of student is x out of that 40% have failed.
40/100 * x = 320
x = 320 * 100/40 = 800
7. (d)
CP = Rs 840 and SP = Rs 920
Gain = 920 – 840 = Rs 80
gain percentage = 80/840 * 100 = 9.52%
8. (b);
Amar’s salary is less than of Raj 2y
(R/100 + R * 100)% = (30/(100 + 30) * 100)%
(30/130 *100 )% = 300/13% = 23% APPROX
9. (d)
According to formula:
Number of arrangements = (5-1)!/2 = 12
10. (b)
26/52 + 2/52 = 28/52 = 7/13
