Question 26
A and B together can do a piece of work in 9 days. If A does thrice the work of B in a given time, the time A
alone will take to finish the work is
A 4 days

B 6 days
C 8 days
D 12 days
Answer: D
Explanation:
A does thrice the work of B in a given time.
Let B's efficiency = x units/day
=> A's efficiency = 3x units/day
Thus, (A+B)'s 1 day's work = x + 3x = 4x units/day

=> Total work done by them in 9 days = 4x × 9 = 36x units
36x
∴ Time taken by A alone to finish the work = 3x = 12 days
=> Ans - (D)

Question 28
A trader sold a cycle at a loss of 10%. If the selling price had been increased by Rs. 200, there would have
been a gain of 6%. The cost price of the cycle is
A Rs.1200
B Rs.1205
C Rs.1250
D Rs.1275
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let cost price of article = Rs. 100x
Loss % = 10%
10
=> Selling price = 100x − 100 × 100x = Rs. 90x
If selling price is increased by Rs. 200, => New selling price = Rs. (90x + 200)
(90x+200)−100x
=> Profit % = 100x × 100 = 6
=> 200 − 10x = 6x
=> 6x + 10x = 16x = 200
200
=> x = 16 = 12.5
∴ Cost price = 100 × 12.5 = Rs. 1250
=> Ans - (C)
Question 29
In a city, 40% of the people are illiterate and 60% are poor. Among the rich, 10% are illiterate. The
percentage of the illiterate poor population is
A 36
B 60
C 40
D 50
Answer: B
Explanation:

Let total population of city = 100
40
Total number of illiterates = 100 × 100 = 40
60
Number of poor people = 100 × 100 = 60
=> Number of rich people = 100 − 60 = 40
10
Now, number of rich who are illiterate = 100 × 40 = 4
=> Remaining illiterates are poor = 40 − 4 = 36
36
∴ Percentage of the illiterate poor population = 60 × 100
= 36 × 53 = 60%
=> Ans - (B)

A Rs.156.25
B Rs.146.25
C Rs.166.25
D Rs.150.25
Answer: A

Explanation:
Let marked price = Rs. 100x
Discount % = 20%
(100−20)
=> Selling price = 100x × 100
= Rs. 80x
Profit % = 25%
100
=> Cost price = 80x × (100+25) = Rs. 64
According to ques, => 64x = 100
100
=> x = 64 = 1.5625
∴ Marked price = 100 × 1.5625 = Rs. 156.25

A 16
B 8
C 10
D 15
Answer: B
Explanation:
Given : a2 + b2 = 25 ----------(i)
Also, a − b =3
Squaring both sides, we get :
=> (a − b)2 = (3)2

=> a2 + b2 − 2ab = 9
=> 25 − 2ab = 9 [Using (i)]
=> 2ab = 25 − 9 = 16
16
=> ab = 2 =8
=> Ans - (B)
Question 43
In ΔABC, ∠B = 70°and ∠C = 60°. The internal bisectors of the two smallest angles of ΔABC meet at O. The
angle so formed at O is
A 125°
B 120°
C 115°

D 110°
Answer: A
Explanation:
Given : In ΔABC, ∠B = 70°and ∠C = 60°
=> ∠A = 180∘ − 70∘ − 60∘ = 50∘

Thus, the two smallest angles are ∠A and ∠C
To find : ∠AOC = θ=?

Solution : AO and OC are angle bisectors.
∠A 50
=> ∠OAC = 2 = 2 = 25∘
Similarly, ∠OCA = 30∘
In △ AOC
=> ∠ OAC + ∠ OCA + ∠ AOC = 180∘
=> 25∘ + 30∘ + θ = 180∘

=> θ = 180 − 55 = 125∘
=> Ans - (A)
Question 44
If θ be positive acute angle and 5cosθ + 12sinθ = 13, then the value of cosθ is
A 12/13
B 5/13
C 5/12
D 1/5
Answer: B

Explanation:
Expression : 5cosθ + 12sinθ = 13
=> 12sinθ = 13 − 5cosθ
Squaring both sides,
=> (12sinθ)2 = (13 − 5cosθ)2

=> 144sin2 θ = 169 + 25cos2 θ − 130cosθ
=> 144(1 − cos2 θ) = 169 + 25cos2 θ − 130cosθ
=> 144 − 144cos2 θ = 169 + 25cos2 θ − 130cosθ
=> 169cos2 θ − 130cosθ + 25 = 0
=> (13cosθ − 5)2 = 0
=> 13cosθ =5
5
=> cosθ = 13
=> Ans - (B)

Question 45
A cylinderical container of 32 cm height and 18 cm radius is filled with sand. Now all this sand is used to
form a conical heap of sand. If the height of the conical heap is 24 cm, what is the radius of its base?
A 12 cm
B 24 cm
C 36 cm
D 48 cm
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let radius of base of cone = r cm and height = h = 24 cm
Radius of cylinder = R = 18 cm and height = H = 32 cm
Volume of cylinder = Volume of cone
=> πR2 H = 13 πr2 h

1
=> (18)2 × 32 = 3 × (r)2 × 24
=> 324 × 32 = 8(r)2
=> r 2 = 324 × 32
8

=> r = 324 × 4
=> r = 18 × 2 = 36 cm
=> Ans - (C)
Question 46

respectively. The height of the pillar is
A 10 m
B 10√3m
C 60 m
D 30 m
Answer: D
Explanation:
CE is the building = 20 m and BD = CE = 20 m
AD is the pillar = ?
Let AB = x m and DE = BC = y m
Also, ∠ AED = 60° and ∠ ACB = 30°
In △ ADE, => tan(∠AED) = AD

DE
=> tan(60) = 3= x+20

y
=> x + 20 = y 3 --------------(i)
In △ ABC, => tan(∠ACB) = AB
BC
1
=> tan(30) = 3
= x
y
=> y = x 3
Substituting it in equation (i), we get :

=> x + 20 = (x 3 ) × 3
=> x + 20 = 3x
=> 3x − x = 2x = 20
20
=> x = 2
= 10 m
∴ AD = AB + BD = 10 + 20 = 30 m
=> Ans - (D)

Question 61
The ratio of the ages of man and his wife is 4:3. After 4 years, the ration will be 9:7. If at the time of
marriage, the ratio was 5:3, how many years ago were they married?
A 12
B 24
C 5
D 8
Answer: A
Explanation:

Let the present age of man = 4x years and wife = 3x years
According to ques,
=> 4x+4
3x+4 = 9
7
=> 28x + 28 = 27x + 36

=> 28x − 27x = 36 − 28
=> x =8
Thus, man's age = 4 × 8 = 32 years and his wife's age = 24 years
Let they were married x years ago, then ratio at the time of marriage = 5 : 3
=> 32−x
24−x
= 5

C (10 × 7) − 2 < (10 − 2) × 7

D (10 ÷ 2) + 7 < (10 + 7) × 2
Answer: C
Explanation:
+ means division, - means multiplication, '÷' means subtraction, x means addition, and < means less than
(A) : (10 + 2) ÷ 7 < (10 ÷ 7) + 2

≡ (10 ÷ 2) − 7 < (10 − 7) ÷ 2
3
=> 5 − 7 < 2
=> −2 < 1.5 [TRUE]

(B) : (10 − 7) × 2 < (10 × 2) − 7
≡ (10 × 7) + 2 < (10 + 2) × 7
=> 70 + 2 < 12 × 7
=> 72 < 84 [TRUE]
(C) : (10 × 7) − 2 < (10 − 2) × 7
≡ (10 + 7) × 2 < (10 × 2) + 7
=> 17 × 2 < 20 + 7
=> 34 < 27 [FALSE]
=> Ans - (C)

Question 74
If a mirror is placed on the line MN, then which of the answer figures is the right image of the given figure?

A
B
C
D
Answer: A
Explanation:
A horizontal mirror is placed, so the objects will turn upside down in the mirror image (e.g - an object at top
right will appear at bottom right). So, the two circular arcs on each corner at the top will appear at the bottom,

and thus the second and last options are eliminated.
Also, the top left arcs are enclosed by the pentagon, which will appear at bottom left, thus third option
becomes invalid.

The snowstorm was getting worse. White flakes whirled around us as we fought our way against the wind. I
had almost given up hope of sheltering, when we found an abandoned log cabin in front of us.
I squeezed through the door of the cabin and stepped cautiously inside with Jane close behind me. It was
dark and musty-smelling, but at least it was sheltered and dry.
Glad to be out of the storm, we settled down on the dusty floor to wait for a break in the weather."What's
this?" asked Jane curiously. Her hand closing over something shiny. She held it up to the weak ray of light
that pierced the gloom. A gold necklace glittered and shone. Its ruby pendant was a lustrous wine-red in the
faint beam. Strangely, there was no dust on the necklace. It was almost as though it had dropped from the
throat of its owner moments ago.
We gazed at each other speechlessly. What strange mystery had we accidently stumbled upon?
