Verbal Ability
1-5) Directions: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions
that follow.
Over the past 18 months, corporate India and the world of finance has
been roiled by a peculiar problem: the promoters of a slew of companies
have been eased out of board rooms because they pledged their shares to
avail loans and then defaulted.
The suicide of Cafe Coffee Day’s V.G. Siddhartha in July this year; the
roller-coaster ride that Yes Bank Ltd’s stock went through when its former
promoter Rana Kapoor dealt with lenders; and even the unfolding financial
scandal at Karvy Stock Broking Ltd have one thing in common—the use, or
rather, overuse of a humble instrument called LAS (loan against shares).
The product has been in existence since trading began in Indian markets. It
was primarily meant as a tool for stock market operators, who used their
existing shares as security to borrow and speculate in the market. It was
meant to be short term. And the sums were supposed to be small.
Traditional banks even have an upper limit: Rs.20 lakh, if the collateral is
purely shares (not applicable to brokerage firms). But mutual funds and
non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have no such limit.
Caught in a credit squeeze and a slowdown in traditional bank lending,

promoters increasingly began to rely on pledged share to raise funds. In
many cases, those funds came in through channels that are relatively less
regulated than traditional banks, setting up a perfect storm.
When economic growth began to fall and “sentiments" began to collapse,

lenders inevitably began calling in on the pledge or, in some cases, even
selling the equity, reducing company promoters to minor shareholders in

their own firms. The fortunes of at least six big promoters are on the line,
including Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd’s Subhash Chandra and
Reliance Group’s Anil Ambani.
The sparkling diamonds, or shares, which are forever, are usually never
meant to be sold. It is the equivalent of bringing out the family silver. “How
do you get funding in any market—you borrow, beg or steal," said Amit
Tandon, managing director of Institutional Investors Advisory Services
(IIAS). “In a bad market such as this, borrowing is not happening because
no one will lend. You are too proud to beg. So, you steal from your existing
pool which is shares, pledge them, and borrow."
Perhaps, the promoters never thought they would lose control. Perhaps,
corporate India never anticipated a multi-quarter economic slowdown.
Perhaps, internal risk-management mechanisms were extremely weak
resulting in risky hedges and abuse of LAS. One thing is certain though:
The unfolding saga of India Inc.’s troubled dalliance with LAS captures, in
many ways, the degree of desperation among certain sections of the
business community. It is a cautionary tale which could only get worse
before it gets any better.
As per regulations issued by capital market regulator Securities and

Exchange Board of India (SEBI), a company needs to disclose the amount
of pledged shares, when the pledge is created, to whom the shares are
pledged, and for what reason they have been pledged.
However, an analysis done by Mint shows that despite regulatory

tightening, the disclosures are missing. In the case of at least four
companies including Yes Bank, firms have not even disclosed to whom the
shares have been pledged—a clear violation of disclosure norms.
Other companies such as Zee Entertainment, the Adani Group, GMR

Group and Vedanta Ltd practice a more innovative strategy. They disclose
the name of the trustee but not the pledgee, giving investors no indication
regarding the purpose of the pledge.
For quite some time, SEBI and RBI have been on the same page regarding
the need to crack down on excessive pledging. The capital market
regulator had expressed concern particularly about how regulated
mutual funds have now assumed the role of lenders, rather than
acting on behalf of investors.
Several mutual funds have begun to invest in LAS products in their fixed
maturity plan schemes, that is, papers with pledged shares as the
underlying collateral. Due to a fear of default, the funds sometimes roll over
the maturity date in the hope that a stake sale would result in realization of
dues. SEBI has taken one step after another to stem this practice.
1) Why did the promoters of many companies not find a seat in the
board room?
a) They were interested in dealing in stocks, rather than managing the

companies.
b) They pledged their shares for loans, but could not settle the due.
c) The stocks of the companies plummeted and they became minor

shareholders.
d) None of the above
Correct Choice: b
Explanation:
Refer: Over the past 18 months, corporate India and the world of finance
has been roiled by a peculiar problem: the promoters of a slew of
companies have been eased out of board rooms because they pledged
their shares to avail loans and then defaulted.
Obviously, option B is the correct answer.
2) Which of the following statements are true regarding the financial

instrument ‘loan against shares’ (LAS)?
a) Traditional banks don’t have any upper limit while issuing loans though
LAS.
b) NBFCs do not have the authority to issue loans through LAS.

Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
Refer:
The product has been in existence since trading began in Indian markets. It
was primarily meant as a tool for stock market operators, who used their
existing shares as security to borrow and speculate in the market. It was
meant to be short term. And the sums were supposed to be small.
Traditional banks even have an upper limit: Rs.20 lakh, if the collateral is
purely shares (not applicable to brokerage firms). But mutual funds and
non-banking financial companies (NBFCs) have no such limit.
Obviously, option D is the correct answer.
3) What does the author mean by the expression: ‘It is a cautionary

tale which could only get worse before it gets any better.’?
a) The incident can get become worse before showing signs of

improvement, and all businessmen should learn from it.
b) The tale is a proverbial one and some experience is to be gained from it.
c) No promoter should ever take loan through LAS and the situation should
be remembered by all.
Correct Choice: a
Explanation:
“Cautionary tale” means ‘A story of warning”.
“Which could only get worse before it gets any better” means ‘the crisis
may get worse, before situation improves’.
Only the sentence given in option A explains the statement given in the
question appropriately.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

4) What does the analysis done by Mint show?
a) The analysis shows that regulations issued by SEBI mandate a

company to disclose the amount of pledged shares, when the pledge is
created, to whom the shares are pledged, and for what reason they have
been pledged.
b) The analysis shows that at least four companies are in violation of the
regulatory norms issued by SEBI.
c) The analysis shows that many companies disclose the name of the
trustee but not the pledgee, giving investors no indication regarding the
purpose of the pledge.
d) B and C
Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
Refer:
As per regulations issued by capital market regulator Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI), a company needs to disclose the amount
of pledged shares, when the pledge is created, to whom the shares are
pledged, and for what reason they have been pledged.
However, an analysis done by Mint shows that despite regulatory

companies such as Zee Entertainment, the Adani Group, GMR Group and
Vedanta Ltd practice a more innovative strategy. They disclose the name of
the trustee but not the pledgee, giving investors no indication regarding the
purpose of the pledge.
The statement given in option A is true, except, the statement has no

relation with the analysis done by Mint.
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
5) Which of the following is the author’s opinion regarding shares?
a) The author compares ‘share’ with ‘sparling diamond’.
b) The author thinks that usually one should never sell ‘shares’.
c) The author draws an analogy between ‘shares’ and ‘family silver’.
d) A, B and C
Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
Refer:
The sparkling diamonds, or shares, which are forever, are usually never
meant to be sold. It is the equivalent of bringing out the family silver. “How
do you get funding in any market—you borrow, beg or steal," said Amit
Tandon, managing director of Institutional Investors Advisory Services
(IIAS). “In a bad market such as this, borrowing is not happening because
no one will lend. You are too proud to beg. So, you steal from your existing
pool which is shares, pledge them, and borrow."
Obviously, option D is the correct answer.
6) Given below are four jumbled sentences. Pick the option that gives
their correct order.
A. The shift to stringent emissions norms, the transition to electrification,

and potentially changing consumer preferences with shared mobility and a
connected ecosystem.
B. Change may be the only constant, but the pace with which it takes place
is not.
C. There are primarily three factors causing this disruption.
D. The automotive industry is seeing a spectrum of disruptions, as we

move towards a cleaner, safer and convenient transport ecosystem.
a) DACB
b) CABD
c) CDAB
d) BDCA
Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
If we read all the sentences, we can infer that they are not in a correct
order. After reading all the sentences, we can clearly say that 'B' is the only
opening statement of the passage. Further, a supportive statement to the
previous one comes in place that is
'D' will follow 'B'.
Then, 'C' will come after 'D' as the linking part is 'disruptions'.
Lastly, 'A' will end the passage describing all the three factors.
Thus, we get the final arrangement: BDCA
Hence, option D is the correct answer.
7) In the question given below, rearrange the parts of the sentence in

the correct order, and choose the correct option.
though police officers stood in the centre (A)/ their arms, few drivers
paid attention (B)/ blowing whistles and waving (C)/ of many of the
most dangerous crossroads (D)
a) ACBD
b) ADCB
c) DCBA
d) DABC
Correct Choice: b
Solution
ADCB is the final order. AD begins the sentence as a pair, by telling us

about the presence of police officers in the middle of the crossroads. C
follows by telling us what the police officers were doing. B concludes by
contradicting this, and telling us that despite the presence of the police
officers, drivers were negligent. Thus, (b) is the right answer.
8) Directions: In this question, a sentence has been divided into four

parts marked as I, II, III and IV. You need to find which part/parts does
not/do not have any error in terms of grammatical or contextual
usage. If the sentence is absolutely correct, mark (D) as your answer.
I. A tradition, said to have been starting by St Francis of Assisi
II. in 1223 at Greccio, central Italy, the Nativity scene
III. emphasises the spiritual aspects of Christ’s birth and advocates
IV. worship over materialism during the festivity season.
a) Only I, II and III
b) Only I and III
c) Only II and III
d) No error
Correct Choice: c
Explanation:
The errors are in parts I and part IV.
Reason:
In part I, “have been starting” is erroneous. The correct word in place of

“starting” should have been “started”.
In part IV, the word “worship” is erroneous. The correct word in place of
“worship” should have been “worshiping”. [“Worshiping” and “materialism”
are both nouns.]
The rest of the parts are correct.
Hence, option C is the correct answer. Only I, II, and III
9) In the following question, one part of the sentence may have an

error. Find out which part of the sentence has an error and select the
appropriate option. If a sentence is free from error, select 'No Error'.
A - The successful conservation of
B - the earth’s species in a way that keeps
C - biodiversity functional and healthy
D - will likely depend at collaboration.
Solution
In D, replace the preposition AT with ON, as the verb DEPEND will take the
preposition ON after it. Thus, (d) is the right answer.
10) Choose the most appropriate option to change the voice (active/
passive) form of the given sentence.
I am to do it immediately.
a) It is supposed to be done by me immediately.
b) It has to be done by me immediately.
c) It is to be done by me immediately.
d) It is being done by me immediately.
Correct Choice: c
Explanation:
Given Sentence: I am to do it immediately.
In the above sentence, the subject ‘I’ is performing the action, so the
sentence is made inactive voice.
The given sentence is made in present tense using an infinitive which here
shows the sense of the near future.
Rule: Object in the original sentence + am/is/are + to be + V3 + Prep +

Subject in the original sentence + other word
Passive Voice:
It is to be done by me immediately.
Hence, option C is the correct answer.

11) The man had taken money from the banks.
a) The money had been taken by the man from the banks.
b) The money was taken by the man from the banks.
c) The money is taken by the man from the banks.
d) The money has been taken by the man from the banks.
Correct Choice: a
Solution
The sentence is in active voice and in past perfect tense (HAD TAKEN).
Follow the rules below to convert a sentence in indicative mood to passive
voice:
1. The subject clause will become the object clause. Here, the subject THE
MAN will change to the object of the verb, and the object MONEY will
change into the subject and begin the sentence.
2. Replace HAD TAKEN with HAD BEEN TAKEN. The passive voice
construction for past perfect tense is "HAD + BEEN + past participle".
3. Add the conjunction BY before THE MAN to link the verb with its object.
Option (a) is the right answer.

12) Choose the most appropriate option to change the Narration
(direct/indirect) form of the given sentence.
Meena inquired of me why I had done that.
a) Meena told me, “Why did I do that?”

b) Meena said to me, “Why did you do that?”
c) Meena said to me, “Why did you do this?”
d) Meena asked me, “Why did you did this?”
Correct Choice: c
Explanation:
As there are no quotes in the sentence, it is the case of an indirect

narration.
Reporting Speech Tense: Past Indefinite
Reported Speech: The indirect narration is given in Past Perfect Tense so

it will reversely be converted into Past Indefinite Tense.
Changes to be followed:
Reporting verb ⇒ said to
I ⇒ You
Had ⇒ did
Done ⇒ do
That ⇒ this
The sentence in direct speech will become:
Meena said to me, “Why did you do this?”

Option C is hence the correct answer.

b) He said that I had been to that place.
c) He said that he has been that place.
d) He said that he had been that place
Correct Choice: d
Solution
Option (d) is the right answer. The sentence is in direct speech. To convert
this sentence to the indirect speech, follow these rules:1. Remove the
comma and the inverted commas. 2. In the quoted part of the speech,
change the first person subjective pronoun I to the third person subjective
pronoun HE. 3. Begin the indirect speech sentence with the reporting
speech clause HE SAID. 4. Put THAT between the reporting and reported
speeches.5. The present perfect tense HAVE BEEN will change to the past
perfect HAD BEEN.

18) Identify the best way to improve the bold part of the given
sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘No
improvement’.
The blogger asks their followers to share the feedback on his recent post.
a) asked their follower
b) asked his followers
c) asks his followers
d) No improvement
Correct Choice: b
Explanation:
First of all, if we look at the sentence it says 'blogger' that means it is only
talking about one person so it shows that correction is required so option D
gets eliminated and we cannot use 'their' for a singular person so option A
is also eliminated.
Secondly, the sentence conveys that the task has already been completed
so it has to be in past tense so the option we are left is B.
Correct sentence -
The blogger asked his followers to share the feedback on his recent post.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
19) Identify the best way to improve the bold part of the given
sentence. If there is no improvement required, select ‘No
improvement’.
We all can succeed if we focus major on our personal growth.
a) focus majorly on
b) focuses majorly at
c) focused majority on
d) No improvement
Correct Choice: a
Explanation:
Here in this sentence we need an adverb (majorly) not

'noun/verb'/adjective' (major) right after 'Focus'.
Correct sentence-
We all can succeed if we focus majorly on our personal growth.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.
20) Identify the segment in the sentence, which contains the

grammatical error.
Once upon a time, a daughter complained to her father that his life was
miserable and that she didn’t know how she was going to make it.
a) life was miserable and that she
b) complained to her father that his
c) didn’t know how she was going to make it.
d) Once upon a time, a daughter
Correct Choice: b
Explanation:
Fragment B of the sentence is erroneous.

Reason:
The usage of determiner ‘his’ is incorrect in the phrase ‘his life.’ The
determiner ‘his’ – refers to ‘belonging to or associated with a male person
or animal previously mentioned or easily identified.’
However, it is the female ‘daughter’ who is complaining to her father. Thus,

it shall be replaced with ‘her.’ The determiner ‘her’ – is used as the object of
a verb or preposition to refer to a female person or animal previously
mentioned or easily identified.
Analytical
1) How is F related to Z, if R is the son of E. F is the brother of G. T is

married to E. E is the father-in-law of G. Z is the grandson of T. T and
E has only one child.
a) Paternal Aunt
b) Father
c) Maternal Uncle
d) Brother
Correct Choice: c
Explanation:
In such a case following relation tree can be observed.

Clearly, F is the maternal uncle of Z.
Hence option C is correct.
2) If S > R, T ≥ U, P < R, T ≤ V, V = E, E ≤ S is true, then which of the

following conclusions is definitely true?
a) E ≥ U
b) E ≥ P
c) U < V
d) P ≤ S
Correct Choice: a
Explanation:
After combining all the scattered equations, we can make the following
expression:
U≤T≤V=E≤S>R>P
E ≥ U is definitely true.
E ≥ P can’t be definitely true because E and P share opposite signs.
U < V could be true of false as the relationship between them is ‘≤’.
P ≤ S can’t be definitely true because S and P share opposite signs.
Hence option A is correct.
3) a) L < Q
b) P > T
c) R < L
d) All of the above
Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
With the given expression “D ≤ R < T = K < L = P ≤ W < Q > S”, it is clear
that all the given conclusions are definitely true.
Hence option D is correct.
4) Which of the following set of symbols when filled in the blanks

from left to right will make D > E definitely true?
F __ D __ S __ R __ E
a) >, ≥, =, ≥
b) < , ≥, >, =
c) <, <, ≥, >
d) ≥, <, =, ≥
Correct Choice: b
Let us check each of the options one by one.
Option A – On placing all the signs from left to right in the given blanks, we
get the relationship between D and E as D ≥ E, which is not the desired
one, thus option A is incorrect.
F>D≥S=R≥E
Option B - On placing all the signs from left to right in the given blanks, we
get the relationship between D and E as D > E, which is the required
one, thus option B is correct.
F<D≥S>R=E
Hence option B is correct
(5-9) Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer

the question given below.
Eight people are sitting in two parallel rows containing four people
each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between
adjacent persons. In row 1- L, M, N and O are seated and all of them
are facing south. In row 2- T, U, V and W are seated and all of them
are facing north. Therefore in the given seating arrangement each
member seated in a row faces another member of the other row. V
is sitting second to the left of person who faces L. W is an
immediate neighbor of V. Only one person is sitting between L and
O. The immediate neighbour of N is facing U. M is not sitting at any
of the extreme end of the line
5) Which of the following statements is true regarding M?
a) L and N are immediate neighbors of M.
b) M is sitting immediate left of O.
c) U is facing M.
d) M is sitting fourth to the right of one of the extreme ends.
Correct Choice: b
Explanation:
Following the final seating arrangement, we can say that M is sitting

immediate left of O.
Hence, the correct answer is option B.
Common Explanation:
Reference:
V is sitting second to the left of person who faces L.
Note: From the above reference, we can say that case 1 and case 2 are
possible, in case 1 V will be sitting at extreme left end of the row and L will
be sitting at immediate right of extreme left end. In case 2, V will be sitting
at immediate right of extreme left end of the row and L will be sitting at
extreme left end.

1) A student is looking for his exam center. He moved 70 meters in the
east before turning to his left. He moved 15 meters before turning to
his left again to look for his exam center but reached his friend's
place instead, which is 30 meter from this point. He did not find the
exam center there too. From there, he moved 45 meters to the south
before reaching to his exam center. What is the straight distance
between the exam center and his starting point?
a) 60 metres
b) 70 metres
c) 50 metres
d) 40 metres
Correct Choice: c
Explanation:
Straight distance between starting point and exam center
= 402 + 302 = 1600 + 900 = 2500 = 50
Hence, the distance between starting point and exam center is 50 m.

2) The average age of 12 players in a cricket team is the same as it
was 18 months ago because an old player has been replaced by a
young player now. Find the difference in the age of the older and the
younger player.
a) 21.6
b) 24
c) 18
d) 12
Correct Choice: c
Explanation:
18 months = 1.5 years
Let the sum of the ages of the 12 players, 1.5 years back, be 12x.
∴ The sum of their ages now (had the old player still been in the team)
would have been 12x + (12 × 1.5) = 12x + 18
However, the sum of the ages now = sum of the ages 18 months back =
12x
∴ (Sum of the ages with the old player still in the team) - (Sum of the ages
with the new player in the team ) = difference between the age of the two
players
= 12x + 18 – 12x = 18
3) A bag contains 6 Red, 5 Blue and 4 Green balls. If two balls are
drawn at random what is the probability that both are of same color?
a) 2/3
b) 31/105

Hence, option B is correct.
4) For A and B the ratio of cost price is 4 : 5 and ratio of selling price
is 4 : 7. The ratio of total cost price and total selling price is 45 : 44
and the net loss is Rs 20. What is the difference between their selling
prices?
a) Rs. 300
b) Rs. 240
c) Rs. 360
d) Rs. 250
Correct Choice: b
Explanation:
Let the CP of A = 4x and B = 5x and SP of A = 4y and B = 7y

Total SP/ Total CP = 44/ 45
11y/9x = 44/45
y/x = 4/5
9x – 11y = 20
Solving the above equations we get,
x = 100 and y = 80
Difference between their SP = 7y – 4y = 3y = 3 × 80 = Rs 240

5) A and B are two candidates in an election and a voter can vote for
either A or B. Candidate A gets 66.67% of the votes got by candidate
B. If only 90% of eligible voters cast their vote and B gets 64800 more
votes than A, how many eligible voters were there?
a) 326000
b) 360000
c) 420000
d) 540000
Correct Choice: b
Explanation:
Let the total eligible voters = 100k
Votes cast = 90k

Ratio of votes got, A/B = 2/3
Difference between the votes of A and B = (1x90k)/ 5 = 18k
18k = 64800
So 100k = 360000
6) A, B and C can complete a work in 20, 30 and 25 days respectively.

A and B work together for 8 days and C joins them on every second
day, then D alone works for two days and the remaining work is done
by C alone in 1 day. In how many days D alone can complete 80% of
the work?
a) 16 days
b) 15 days
c) 18 days
d) 12 days
Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
Let the total work = 300k
Efficiency of A = 300k/ 20 = 15k
B= 300k/ 30 = 10K
and C = 300k/ 25 = 12K
Let efficiency of D = Z
Work done by A and B = 15k + 10k = 25k
Work done by A, B and C = 15k + 10k + 12k = 37k
Work done in 8 days (by A and B joined by C on every second day)
= 8/2 x (25+37) = 248 k
Work done by C alone in 1 day = 12k
Work done by D in 2 days = 300k – 248k – 12k = 40k
Per day work of D = 20k
Time taken by D to do 80% of work
= 8/10 x 300/ 20 = 12 days
Hence, option d is correct.

7) A tent has a cylindrical base and conical top. The height of tent is
61m and that of cylindrical portion is 40m the radius of tent is 28 m.
What is the total area of cloth required to make the tent?
a) 10450 m2
b) 12540 m2
c) 10120 m2
d) 9750 m2
Correct Choice: c
Explanation:
Height of the cone = 61 – 40 = 21 m and radius of cone = 28 m
So, Slant height of cone = √(212 + 282) = 35 m
Total surface area = 2πrh + πrl
= 22/7 x 28 x (2 x 40 + 35) = 10120 m2
8) 448 ml of mixture A containing milk and water in the ratio of 9:5,

respectively is mixed with ‘x’ ml of mixture B containing milk and
water in the ratio of 11:10, respectively. If the ratio of milk to water in
the final mixture is 3:2, then find the value of x.
a) 252
b) 210
c) 336
d) 294
Correct Choice: a
Solution
Quantity of milk in mixture A = 9/14 × 448 = 288 ml
Quantity of water in mixture A = 448 – 288 = 160 ml
Let amount of milk and water in mixture B is 11y and 10y respectively.
So, (288 + 11y)/(160 + 10y) = 3/2
Or, 576 + 22y = 480 + 30y
Or, 8y = 96
Or, y = 12
So, x = 21y = 21 × 12 = 252
Hence, option a.
9) The average weight of a class of N students is 47kg. If 8 students

with average weight of 53kg leave the class and 3 new students with
average weight 56kg join the class, the average weight of the class
decreases by 0.6kg. What is the number of students in class now?
a) 40
b) 42
c) 37
d) 35
Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
Total weight initially = N × 47
Total weight of class now = (N – 8 + 3) × (47 – 0.6) = (N – 5)46.4
N × 47 – 8 × 53 + 3 × 56 = (N – 5) × (46.4)
N = 40
Number of students in the class now = N – 5
= 40 – 5 = 35
10) A and B together can complete 75% of a work in 33 days while A,

B and C together can complete the whole work in 26 days. If ‘C’ is
12.5% more efficient than B then find the time taken by A and C
together to complete 70% of the work.
a) 29.2 days
b) 28.4 days
c) 27.8 days
d) None of these
Correct Choice: d
Solution
Total time taken by A and B together to complete the whole work = 33/0.75
= 44 days
Let total amount of work = 572 units (LCM of 44 and 26)
Efficiency of (A + B) = 572/44 = 13 units per day
Efficiency of (A + B + C) = 572/26 = 22 units per day
Efficiency of C = 22 – 13 = 9 units per day
Efficiency of B = 9/1.125 = 8 units per day
Efficiency of A = 13 – 8 = 5 units per day
Desired Time = (0.70 × 572)/14 = 28.6 days
Hence, option d.
11) Ratio of speed of a boat in still water to speed of stream is 9:2. The boat
travels a distance of (D + 40) km in downstream and D km in upstream. If the
ratio of time taken by the boat to travel in upstream and in downstream is 4:3,
respectively then find the value of D.
a) 220
b) 240
c) 212
d) 224
Correct Choice: d
Let speed of boat in still water and speed of stream is 9x km/h and 2x km/h
respectively.
So, Upstream speed = 9x – 2x = 7x km/h
And, downstream speed = 9x + 2x = 11x km/h
According to question;
{D/7x}/{(D + 40)/11x} = 4/3
Or, 33D = 28D + 1120
Or, 5D = 1120
Or, D = 224
Hence, option d.
12) A 432 ml of mixture contains milk and water in the ratio of 5:4
respectively. If 25% of the mixture is taken out and x ml of water and
(2x – 40) ml of milk is added into the remaining mixture then the
quantity of milk in the final mixture will be 76 ml more than that of
water. Find the value of x.
A - 60
B - 75
C - 100
D - 80
Solution
Quantity of milk in 432 ml of mixture = 5/9 × 432 = 240 ml
Quantity of water in 432 ml of mixture = 4/9 × 432 = 192 ml
0.75 × 240 + 2x – 40 = 0.75 × 192 + x + 76
Or, 180 + 2x – 40 = 144 + x + 76
Or, x = 80
Hence, option d.
13) A bag contains 688 coins consisting of 1 rupee, 50-paise and

25-paise coins, and their values being in the ratio of 10:12:13
respectively. Find the value of 50-paise, 1 rupee and 25-paise coins in
the bag respectively
A - 96, 80, 104
B - 80, 96, 104
C - 104, 80, 96
D - 80, 96, 104
Solution
Let value of 1 rupee, 50-paise and 25-paise coins be Rs. 10x, 12x and 13x
respectively
Number of 1 rupee coins = 1 × 10x = 10x
Number of 50-paise coins = 12x × 2 = 24x
Number of 25-paise coins = 13x × 4 = 52x
So, 10x + 24x + 52x = 688
86x = 688
x=8
Therefore, values of 1 rupee, 50-paise and 25-paise coins are Rs. 80, Rs.
96 and Rs. 104 respectively.
Hence, option a.
14) A and B entered into a business with a total investment of Rs.

4750. After one year, A and B made additional investments of Rs. 300
and Rs. 280 respectively. If the ratio of the profit shares of A to B is
5:3 then find the initial investment made by B.
A - Rs. 3000
B - Rs. 1750
C - Rs. 3500
D - Rs.2250
Solution
Let initial investment made by A is Rs. x
Initial investment made by B = Rs. (4750 – x)

Ratio of profit share of A to B = [x + x + 300]:[4750 – x + 4750 – x + 280]
So, (2x + 300)/(9780 – 2x) = 5/3
Or, (x + 150)/(4890 – x) = 5/3
Or, 3x + 450 = 24450 – 5x
Or, 8x = 24000
Or, x = 3000
So, initial investment made by B = 4750 – 3000 = Rs. 1750
Hence, option b.
15) Train A and Train B of lengths 140 metres and 160 metres
respectively can cross each other in 30 seconds and 5 seconds while
moving in same and opposite directions respectively. Find the
distance travelled by the train A in 7 hours 30 minutes if the speed of
train A is more than that of train B.
A - 950 km
B - 875 km
C - 945 km
D - 925 km
Solution
Let speed of train A and train B be ‘x’ m/s and ‘y’ m/s respectively.
So, (140 + 160)/(x + y) = 5

x + y = 300/5 = 60………………………….(1)
And, (140 + 160)/(x – y) = 30
x – y = 300/30 = 10…………………..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
x = 35 m/s and y = 25 m/s
Speed of train A = 35 × 18/5 = 126 km/h
Desired distance = 126 × 7.5 = 945 km
Hence, option c.
16) Gunja marked an article 50% above the cost price and sold it after
giving a discount of 20%. Had she bought the article for Rs. 150 less
and sold it for Rs. 240 more then she would have made a profit of
60%. New selling price is how much percent more than original selling
price
a) 20%
b) 25%
c) 15%
d) None of these
Correct Choice: d
Solution
Let cost price of the article is Rs. x

Marked price of the article = 1.50 × x = Rs. 1.5x
Selling price of the article = 0.80 × 1.5x = Rs. 1.2x
1.60 × (x – 150) = 1.2x + 240
1.6x – 240 = 1.2x + 240
Or, 0.4x = 480
Or, x = 1200
Original selling price = 1.2 × 1200 = Rs. 1440
Desired percentage = 240/1440 × 100 = 16.67%
Hence, option d.
17) Ratio of ages of A and B, 8 years ago was 5:4 respectively. If

present average age of B and C is 38 years and age of C after 24 years
will be 20% more than age of A after 2 years. Find the ratio of present
age of B to present age of C.
a) 9:10
b) 10:9
c) 9:8
d) 8:9
Correct Choice: b
Solution
Let age of A and B, 8 years ago was 5x years and 4x years respectively.
Present age of C = ‘y’ years
So, 4x + 8 + y = 38 × 2 = 76
Or, 4x + y = 68
And, y + 24 = 1.20 × (5x + 8 + 2)
Or, y + 24 = 6x + 12
Or, 68 – 4x + 24 = 6x + 12
Or, 10x = 80
Or, x = 8
So, present age of B = 8 × 4 + 8 = 40 years
Present age of C = 68 – 4 × 8 = 36 years
Desired ratio = 40:36 = 10:9
Hence, option b.
18) When a two-digit number is multiplied by the sum of its digits, the
product is 913. When the number obtained by interchanging its digits
is multiplied by the sum of the digits, the result is 418. The difference
of the digits of the given number is:
a) 4
b) 6
c) 7
d) 5
Correct Choice: d
Explanation:
Let the number be ab, numerical value = 10a + b
(10a + b) (a + b) = 913 ---------- (1)
When the digits are interchanged number = ba = 10b + a
(10b + a) (a + b) = 418 ------------ (2)
By doing 1 – 2
(a + b) (9a – 9b) = 913 – 418
(a - b) (a + b) = 495/ 9
(a + b) (a – b) = 55
a + b = 11 and a – b = 5
Required difference = 5

19) The HCF of two numbers is 35 and their LCM is 299 times the HCF.
If one of the numbers lies between 400 and 500, the sum of the digits
of the other number is :
a) 13
b) 15
c) 14
d) 17
Correct Choice : a
Explanation:
Let the numbers be 35a and 35b
LCM = 299 × 35
HCF × LCM = Product of digits
299 × 35 × 35 = 35a × 35b
a × b = 299
a × b = 13 × 23
a = 13 and b = 23
35a = 455 and 35b = 805
35a lies between 400 and 500

Sum of the digits odd 805 = 8 + 0 + 5 = 13
Hence, option A is correct
20) Ratio of speed of a boat in still water to speed of stream is 14:3

respectively. If a boat can travel a distance of 99 km upstream and 119
km downstream together in 8 hours then find the total time taken by
the boat to cover 84 km in still water and 51 km in downstream.
A - 3.5 hours
B - 5.5 hours
C - 4.5 hours
D - 2.5 hours
Solution
Let speed of boat in still water and speed of stream is 14x km/h and 3x
km/h respectively.
Speed of boat in upstream = 14x – 3x = 11x km/h
Speed of boat in downstream = 14x + 3x = 17x km/h
99/11x + 119/17x = 8
Or, 9/x + 7/x = 8
Or, x = 2
Speed of boat in still water = 14 × 2 = 28 km/h

Speed of boat in downstream = 17 × 2 = 34 km/h
Desired time = 84/28 + 51/34 = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5 hours
Hence, option c.
