Answers & Solutions – Tap to show
1. C –  let the eighth number be x. Then, sixth number= x-7
   Seventh number=(x-7)+4
  So, (2×31/2)+(3×21⅓)+(x-7)+(x-3)+x=8×20
  Or, x= 25

2. C – Amount paid to the card owner =90% of 85% of 325000=Rs.248625
     So, the required difference= Rs. (325000-248625)=Rs. 76375

3. C –  Let the containers contain 3x, 4x and 5x litres of mixture respectively
  Milk in first mix= (3x ×4/5)=12x/5 litres
 Water in first mix=(3x-12x/5)=3x/5 litres
Milk in second mix=(4x × 3/4) = 3x litres
Water in second mix=(4x-3x)= x litres
Milk in third mix=(5x × 5/7)=25x/7 litres
Water in third mix=(5x-25/7)=10x/7 litres
Total milk in final mix=314x/35 litres
Total water in final mix=106x/35 litres
Required ratio of milk and water=314x/35 : 106x/35=157:53

4. D – let B be closed after x min
    Then, part filled by A+B in x min+part filled by A in (18-x)min=1
    x(1/48+1/16)+(18-x)×1/48=1
    or, x=10

5. D –  let the speed in return journey be x kmph
     Then speed in onward journey =125x/100=5/4x kmph
     Average speed=10x/9 kmph
    Therefore, 800×9/10x=16
    So, x=45kmph
So, speed in onward journey=(5/4 ×45)=56.25kmph

6. A – let the length of the train be x mt and the length of the platform be y mt.
     Speed of the train relative to man=54-6=48kmph or 40/3 m/s
     In passing a man, train covers its own length with relative speed
     So, length of the train =Relative speed × time=40/3 × 12=160 m
Also, speed of the train=54 × 5/18=15m/s
Therefore, x+y/15=20
Or, y=140m

7. D – speed upstream=7.5kmph
     Speed downstream=10.5kmph
     Therefore, total time taken= (105/7.5+105/10.5) hrs. = 24hrs

8. B – Since strength of the first jar=40%
    Strength of second jar= 19%
    Mean strength =26%
    So, using the rule of allegation, the ratio between the two quantities is=7:14=1:2
     Therefore, required quantity replaced is=2/3

9. B –  let the qty of wine in the cask originally be = x litres
    Then, quantity of cask left in the wine after 4 operations=[x (1-8/4)^4] litres
    Therefore, x (1-8/4)^4/x=16/81 =>x=24

10. A – let each installment be Rs. X
    So, [x+x×15/100] + [x+x×15×2/100] + x=2000
     Solving we get x~Rs.580
