Answers & Solutions:

1. Ans-c

XG1=YG3=30*(5/60)=2.5 km
G1G3=(20-2.5-2.5)=15km
VILLAGE X                        G1      G2      G3   VILLAGE Y
(2.5km)                                                                                        (2km)
G1G2:G2G3=1:2
G1G2=5 km and G2G3= 10 km
Now time taken for reaching X to G3 and back to X from X to G1=5 min (given)
From G1 to G3=(15/60)*60=15 min
From G3 to X=(17.5/60)*60=17.5 min
Time elapsed=1 min
Total time taken= 5+15+17.5+1=38.5
Remaining time=40-38.5=1.5 min

2. Ans-d

Suppose their paths cross after x minutes.
Then, 11 + 57x = 51 – 63x         120x = 40

X=1/3

number of floors covered in 1/3 min by David= 57/3=19
   
So, their paths cross at (11 +19) i.e., 30th floor.

3. Ans-b

A tap can fill a tank in 44 hours.
Therefore, the tap can fill half the tank in 22 hours.
Remaining part =12=12

After half the tank is filled, two more similar taps are opened.
Hence, total number of taps becomes 33.

Part filled by one tap in 1 hour =14=14
Part filled by three taps in 1 hour =3×14=34=3×14=34
Time taken to fill 1212 tank by 33 pipes
=(12)(34)=46=(12)(34)=46 hour =40=40 minutes

Total time taken
=2hour + 40 minute =2 hour 40 minutes.

4. Ans-a

CI when interest compounded yearly = Rs [5000x[1+(4/100)x(1+2)/100]=Rs 5304

CI when interest is compounded half yearly = Rs [5000 {(1+2)/100}^3]= Rs 5306.04
Difference = Rs. (5306.04 – 5304) = Rs. 2.04

5. Ans-c

Let capacity of mug =1litre.
Then, capacity of bucket =3litre.

Given that it takes 80 turns for bucket to fill the empty drum.
=> capacity of the drum =80×3=240 litre.

Number of turns required if both the bucket and the mug are  having each turn together=240/(3+1)=60




6. Ans-c

























7. Ans-b

Let P = Rs.100

Simple Interest = Rs. 80 (80% increase is due to the simple interest)

Rate of interest=100×SI/PT=100×80/(100×8)=10% per annum

Now let’s find out the compound interest of Rs. 14,000 after 3 years at 10%

P = Rs.14000

T = 3 years

R = 10%

Amount after 3 years =P(1+R/100)T=14000(1+10/100)3=14000(110/100)3=14000(11/10)3=14×113=18634

Compound Interest = Rs.18634 – Rs.14000 = Rs.4634

8. Ans-e

Let maximum marks of the examination =x
Marks that Binod got =30% of x =30x/100

Given that Binod failed by 10 marks.
=> pass mark =( 30x/100)+10————1
 Marks that Sumit got =40% of x =40x/100
Given that Sumit got 15 marks more than the passing marks.
=> pass mark =(40x/100)−15  ——2
From (1)and (2)
(30x/100)+10=(40x/100)−15
=>10x/100=25
=>x/10=25
=>x=10×25=250

pass mark
=(30x/100)+10=(30×250/100)+10=75+10=85
