1) The probability of getting at least one tail in 5 throws of a coin is?

a)1/32 b)31/32 c)1/5 d)None of the above

Ans. A coin throws 5 times is equal to the 5 coins throws at one time.
So total no of choices are 2^5=32
Chances that not getting at least one tails is 1 i.e., (h,h,h,h,h)
So 1-(1/32)=31/32…option (b) is correct.

2) When a local train travels at a speed of 60kmph, it reaches the destination on time. When the same train travels at
speed of 50kmph, it reaches its destination 15 minutes late. What is the length of journey?
a)75km b)50km c)60km d)85km

Ans. let the time taken by a train when it takes 60kmph is x.when it takes 50kmph will be (x+15)
So distance , 60x=50(x+15)
X=75 mins
Distance= Speed * Time = (60* 75)/60 ( Convert minutes to hours by dividing with 60)
option (a) is correct.

test while 70% cleared logical reasoning test. If 50% examinees passed both the tests, then how many failed in both
tests? a)35% b)15% c)30% d)20%

Ans. no of students who passed in atleast one subject:

AUB=65+70-50=85
If total students are 100 .no of students who failed in both subjects = total students-students who passed in atleast one
subject.i.e.,100-85=15
So option (b) is correct.

5) A sum of money triples itself at compound interest in3 years. In 9 years it will be

Ans. let the principal be x.

X(1+R/100)^3=3x
(1+R/100)^3^3=3^3=27
So option (d) is correct.

17) P is an integer. P>883. If (p-7) is a multiple of 11, then the largest number that will divide (p+4) (p+15) is :
11 121 242 None of the above

Explanation:
P > 883 
P − 7 > 876 
The smallest number after 876 that is a multiple of 11 is 880 = 11*80 
So P = 11k+7, for some integer k ≥ 80 
(P+4)(P+15) 
= (11k+7+4) (11k+7+15) 
= (11k+11) (11k+22) 
= 11(k+1) * 11 (k+2) 
= 121 (k+1)(k+2) 
Now when k is even, then k+2 is even, so (k+1)(k+2) is even 
and when k is odd, then k+1 is even, so (k+1)(k+2) is even 
(k+1) (k+2) = 2n, for some integer n 
(P+4)(P+15) 
= 121 (k+1)(k+2) 
= 121 * 2n 
= 242n
Answer: c: 242

27) Mauli purchased designer saree from Mumbai at 8/9 th of its MRP. When she came back to Delhi, her neighbour
coaxed Mauli to sell the saree to her. She was even ready to pay 9% more than its MRP. What would Mauli’s gain
percentage be, if she decides to sell the saree to her neighbour ?

A) Cost price= (8x)/9

 Receipt = 109% of RS x= (109x)/100 = selling price
Gain = s.p – c.p
= ((109x)/100) – (8x/9)
= 181x/900
Gain% = (gain/c.p)*100
= ((181x/900)*(9/8x)*100) %
= 22.65%

28) A goods carriage of length 2km, headed to Srinagar from Punjab was running at a speed of 30km/hr. it crosses a

A) we have speed=distance/time
Here distance includes good’s length and as well as tunnel length. So the total distance goods has to cross would be
(58km+2km)= 60km.
Then time taken = distance/speed => 60/30
=2hrs

of the lucky draw. When one chit is drawn at random what Is the probability that the chit has a number which is a
multiple of 3 or7?

A)  no of chits =25

Sarika and Rajesh chits are multiples of 3 and 7
3 multiples up to 25 =8
7multiples up to 25 =2 ( 21 is considered in 3 multiple )
Total multiples= 8+2 =10
probability  = total multiples/total number of chits
     =10/25

30) What is the loss percentage incurred by a company when it buys an asset for 1,50,000rs and sells it for 75,500rs?

A) c.p = 1,50,000rs

loss = c.p – s.p
= 1,50,000 – 75,500
= 74,500
Loss% = (loss/c.p)*100
= (74,500/1,50,000)*100
= 49.67%

Ans: Cost price of 5 oranges is 36. Then C.P of one orange is 7.2
Selling price of four oranges is 45. Then S.p of one orange is 11.25
Gain= S.p- C.p = 4.05 per orange.

41) The length of the rectangle varies inversely with its width. If the length of the rectangle is 60 feet and width is 24 feet
find the length of the rectangle when its width is 40 feet?
36 feet 100 feet 25 feet 20feet

Ans: let legth is l and width is w

Then l = k/w, here is k is constant.
K= l * w = 60 * 24;
So when l= 40 then w=?
W= k/l=( 60 * 24 ) / 40 = 36
