A. 1500
B. 2000
C. 3500
D. 3000
E. None of these

1. Answer – Option B

Explanation –

Difference of Airtel user in Chennai and Mumbai = 7000 – 5000 = 2000

Difference of Vodafone user in Delhi and Bangalore = 7000 – 3000 = 4000

Average = $$\frac {(2000 + 4000)}{2} = 3000$$

2. Answer – Option C

Explanation –

Required percentage = $$\frac {8000}{(7000 + 4000 + 6000)} \times 100 = 47%$$

3. Answer – Option D

Explanation –

Average = $$\frac {(8000 + 7000 + 3000 + 4000)}{4} = 5500$$

4. Answer – Option C

Explanation –

Average Airtel and Jio users in Chennai = $$\frac {(5000 + 10000)}{2} = 7500$$

Average of Vodafone and Jio users in Delhi = $$\frac {(3000 + 9000)}{2} = 6000$$

Required ratio = 7500: 6000 = 5 : 4

5. Answer – Option B

Explanation –

Male user in Jio = $$\frac {8000 \times 60}{100} = 4800$$

Female users in Jio = $$\frac {8000 \times 40}{100} = 3200$$

Female users in Airtel = $$\frac {80}{100} \times 6000 = 4800$$

Number of male users in Airtel = $$\frac {20}{100} \times 6000 = 1200$$

Difference = (4800 + 3200) – (4800 + 1200) = 2000

A. $$\frac {9}{25}$$
B. $$\frac {9}{50}$$
C. $$\frac {18}{25}$$
D. $$\frac {1}{25}$$
E. None of these

1. Answer – Option A

Explanation –

$${16}^{3}$$ – 16 = 4080

$${15}^{3}$$ – 15 = 3360

$${14}^{3}$$ – 14 = 2730

$${13}^{3}$$ – 13 = 2184

$${12}^{3}$$ – 12 = 1716

$${11}^{3}$$ – 11 = 1320

2. Answer – Option C

Explanation –

3 + (3 * 6) = 21

21 + (2 * 6) = 33

33 + (1 * 6) = 39

39 + (0 * 6) = 39

39 + (-1 * 6) = 33

3. Answer – Option A

Explanation –

19 * 1 – 2 = 17

17 * 2 – 4 = 30

30 * 3 – 8 = 82

82 * 4 – 16 = 312

312 * 5 – 32 = 1528

4. Answer – Option B

Explanation –

S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}

E = {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}

n(S) = 8

n(E) = 4

P(E) =$$\frac {n(E)}{ n(S)} = \frac {4}{8}$$ = 0.5

5. Answer – Option A

Explanation –

S = {1, 2, 3, … , 49, 50}

E = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 7, 14, 21, 35, 42, 49}

n(S) = 50

n(E) = 18

P(E) = $$\frac {n(E)}{ n(S)} = \frac {18}{50} = \frac {9}{25}$$

1. A dealer marks price of all the goods at 30 % above the cost price and assumes that he will make a profit of 15 % if he offers a discount of 15%. Find what will be his actual profit on sales?

5. In a mixture of 13 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 3 : 2. If 3 liters of this mixture is replaced by 3 liters of milk, then what will be the ratio of milk and water in the newly formed mixture?

A. 10 : 3
B. 8 : 5
C. 9 : 4
D. 1 : 1
E. 4 : 4

1. Answer – Option D

Explanation –

Let cost price goods be Rs. 100

Marked price (Selling Price) marked by the shopkeeper on goods = Rs. 130

He sells the goods at a discount of 15 %

Therefore,

Selling price = 85 % of Rs. 130 = Rs. 110.50

Gain = S.P. – C.P. = 110.5 – 100 = 10.50 %

2. Answer – Option C

Explanation –

Profit earned by manufacturer = 20 %

Profit earned by wholesaler = 25 %

Profit earned by retailer = 30%

S.P. of shoes = Rs. 50

Therefore, 130 % of 125 % of 120 % of x = 50.50

=$$\frac {120}{100} \times \frac {125}{100} \times \frac {130}{100} \times x = \frac {5050}{100}$$

$$\frac {195}{100} x = \frac {5050}{100}$$

x = $$\frac {5050 \times 100}{195 \times 100}$$

x = 25.89

Cost price of shoes = Rs. 25.89

3. Answer – Option A

4. Answer – Option B

Explanation –

Hint: If ‘A’ is ‘x’ times as good a workman as ‘B’, then ratio of work done by A & B = x: 1

Monika’s 1 day work : Sonika’s 1 day work = 2:1

(Monika’s + Sonika’s ) 1 day work = $$\frac {1}{20}$$

Divide $$\frac {1}{20}$$ in the ratio 2:1 ———( To divide the number ‘a’ into ratio x & y , we have first part = $$\frac {ax}{x + y}$$)

Therefore, Monika’s 1 day work = $$(\frac {1}{20}) \times (\frac {2}{2} + 1) = \frac {1}{30}$$

Hence, Monika will alone finish the work in 30 days.

5. Answer – Option C

Explanation –

Given: Total quantity of mixture = 13 liters

3 litres of mixture is removed from the container – So, let’s forget this altogether!

Now, you are left with only 10 litres of mixture in 3:2 ratio.

Milk in 10 litres mix = 10 x $$\frac {3}{(2 + 3)}$$ = 6 liters

Water in 10 litres mix = 10 x $$\frac {2}{(2 + 3)}$$ = 4 liters

We add 3 litres milk to this.

So, milk in new mix is = 6 liters + 3 litres = 9 litres

Water= 4 litres

Ratio of milk : water = 9 : 4
