1) Answer: D Mean proportion of 81 and 9 =√(81*9)=27
Solution: 2) Answer: B
Page 10 of 24
Solution: Then total number of people in the group initially = 5x +
2x = 7x = 7(30) = 210
(x + 2)/(x – 1) = 4/3
4) Answer: B
3x + 6 = 4x – 4
Solution:
X = 10
Let income of B is 100x
Mean proportional to x and 4x=√x*4x =2x
Then income of A is 60x
=2(10) = 20
Let expenditure of B is 100y
3) Answer: C
Then expenditure of A is 40y
Solution:
Given, income of A is 70% of expenditure of B
Initially, M : W = 5x : 2x
60x = (70/100)100y
After some people left then the ratio of M : W = 8y : 3y
6x = 7y
5x – 6 = 8y ---- (1)
Saving of A/Saving of B = (60x – 40y)/(100x – 100y)
2x – 6 = 3y --- (2)
Put the value of x in above
Solving (1) and (2) x = 30
= (70y – 40y)/((700y/6) – 100y)
Then total number of people in the group initially = 5x +
2x = 7x = 7(30) = 210 =30y/(100y/6)
Alternative Method =9/5 = 9 : 5
5x – 6 /2x – 6 = 8/3 5) Answer: C
X=30 Solution:
A:B:C:D=(1/5)y :(1/2)y:(1/3)y:(1/4)y
Page 11 of 24
Let consider y=60 which is least common multiple of all Since B is common in both ratio, multiply A : B with 6
denominators and B : C with 4
A : B : C : D = 12 : 30 : 20 : 15 Then, A : B = 24 : 30
A – C = 20y – 12y = 8y B : C = 30 : 35
8y = 560 Combining the above two ratios
Y = 70 A : B: C = 24 : 30 : 35
Total amount = 12y + 30y + 20y + 15y = 77y = 77(70) = 8) Answer: C

Solution:
6) Answer: C
R: G =5x : 2x
Solution:
G=33 1/3% of B
A : B : C = 2x : 3x : 5x
2x = 33 1/3% of B
A2 + B2 + C2 = 4x2 + 9x2 + 25x2 = 38x2
2x = (100/3)/100 of B
38x2 = 342
B = 2x(300/100)
X=3
B = 6x
A + B + C=2x + 3x + 5x = 10x = 30
R : G : B = 5x : 2x : 6x
7) Answer: B
R + G + B = 91
Solution:
13x = 91
A:B=4:5
X=7
B:C=6:7

Page 12 of 24
9) Answer: A A:B=2:1
Solution: C = 2B
Ratio of three sides = 3x : 4x : 5x C:B=2:1
Sum of three sides = 3x + 4x + 5x = 180° B:C=1:2
12x = 180° A:B:C=2:1:2
X = 15° 12) Answer: B
Difference between smallest and largest angle = 5x – 3x Solution:

= 2x
A:B=5:4
=2(15) = 30°
Let x be the common multiplier then
10) Answer: D
A : B = 5x : 4x
Solution:
A = B + 19
Consider 4A = 5B = 6C = k
5x = 4x + 19
A = k/4, B = k/5, C = k/6
X = 19
A : B : C = k/4 : k/5 : k/6
A + B = 5x + 4x = 9x
LCM of 4, 5 and 6 is 60.Consider this as k
=9(19) = 171
A : B : C = 60/4 : 60/5 : 60/6 =15 : 12 : 10
13) Answer: C
11) Answer: B
Solution:
Solution:
H : A = 9 : 10
A = 2B
10H = 9A ------- (1)
Page 13 of 24
(H + 50) : A = 1 : 1 B : G = 2x : 3x
H + 50 = A --–-- (2) 30% of G = (30% of B) + 6
Put the value of A in (2) 30% of 3x = (30% of 2x) + 6
H + 50 = 10H/9 9x/10 = 6x/10 + 6
9H + 450 = 10H X = 20
H = 450 B + G = 2x + 3x = 5(20) = 100
Half yearly marks = 45% of total marks

16) Answer: C
450 = 45% of Total
Let ratio be x.
Total marks 100% = 100*450/45 = 1000
Hence no. of coins be 10x ,5x , 2x respectively
14) Answer: A
Now given total amount = Rs.112
Solution:
=> (10x)/4 + (5x)/2 +(2x) = 112
A:B=5:4
We get x = 16
B:C=7:8
The total number of coins=10*16+5*16+2*16=272
A : B : C = 35 : 28 : 32
The terms are: A = 35x, B = 28x, C = 32x 17) Answer: C
A + B : B + C : C + A = 63x : 60x : 67x Solution:
A + B : B + C : C+ A = 63 : 60 : 67 16:64::64:x

18) Answer: D P = 3F/4
Solution: 10 more students passed the exam
a/(b + c) = 1 : 2 ---(1) Then the ratio becomes,
By componendo method (P + 10) : (F – 10) = 23 : 19
(a + b + c)/(b + c) = (1 + 2)/2 = 3/2 ------- (2) 19P + 190 = 23F – 230
(1) ÷ by (2) 23F – 19P = 420 –----- (1)
a/(a + b + c) = 1/(1 + 2) = 1/3 Put the value of P in (1)
19) Answer: A 23F – 19(3F/4) = 420
Solution: 23F – 57F/4 = 420
a: (b – c) = 3 : 2 (92F – 57F)/4 = 420
By componendo method 35F = 420*4
(a + b – c)/(b – c) = 5/2 ---(1) F = 48
By dividendo method P = 3(48)/4 = 36
(a – b + c)/(b – c) = 1/2 ---(2) (1/3)P = Boys who passed
(2) ÷ (1)=> (a – b + c)/(a + b – c) = 1/5 Boys who passed = 12
20) Answer: D Girls who passed = Total passed – Boys who passed
Solution: = 36 – 12 = 24
Let P and F be the pass and failed students respectively 21) Answer: D
P:F=3:4 Solution:

Valid : Invalid = 4 : 1 B = 120% of C
70% of valid vote = 6300 B/C = 6/5
100% = 100*6300/70 = 9000 A : B = 13 : 10
Valid – Invalid votes = 4x – x = 3x B:C=6:5
Since 4x = 9000 A : B : C = 78 : 60 : 50
X=9000/4 = 39 : 30 : 25
3x = 3*9000/4 =3*2250=6750 24) Answer: C
Difference between the valid and invalid votes = 6750 Solution:
22) Answer: A Male : female = (x + 2) : (x + 4)

A = 7k, b = 3k, c = 5k Total cost => Pen : Pencil = 20xy : 18xy
a : b : c = 7k : 3k : 5k % greater= (20xy-18xy)*100/18xy
=7:3:5 = 100/9 = 11.11%
27) Answer: B 29) Answer: A
Solution: Solution:
Total bill amount: 600 A : (B + C) = 2 : 5 (Total 7) ------ (1)
A : (B + C) = 1/2 B : (A + C) = 1 : 2 (Total 3) ----- (2)
A + B + C = 600 As both sums should be same, multiply (1) by 3 and (2)

by 7
3A = 600
(1) => A : (B + C) = 6 : 15
A = 200
(2)=> B : (A + C) = 7 : 14
B : (A + C) = 1/5
Since B = 7units, C = 15 – 7 = 8 units
A + B + C = 600
C/(A+B) = 8/(6+7)
6B = 600
= 8 : 13
B = 100
30) Answer: D
C = 600 – 200 – 100 = 300
Solution:
28) Answer: B
Page 17 of 24
Let the income of A and B is x and y = 6 – 18/5 = 12/5
X + y = 5000 -------- (1) Revised
20%x : 30%y = 4 : 9 Expenditure : Saving = 18/5:12/5
x/5 : 3y/10 = 4 : 9 = 3 : 2 –----- (2)
2x : 3y = 4 : 9 On comparing (1) and (2)
x/y = 2/3 Saving is incremented by 1 unit which is equivalent to

100%
Put the value of x in (1)
32) Answer: C
2y/3 + y = 5000
Solution:
5y/3 = 5000
A:B=3:2
Y = 3000
A–B=8
X = 5000 – 3000 = 2000
3 – 2 units = 8
31) Answer: C
1 unit = 8
Solution:
A + B = 3 + 2 = 5 units
Expenditure : Saving = 3 : 1 ------- (1)
A + B = 40
Income = 3 + 1 = 4 units
A2-B2 = (A + B)(A – B)
Income increases by 50% = 150% of 4 units =6 units
= 40*8 = 320
Expenditure increases by 20% = 120% of 3 units = 18/5
units Alternative method
Savings = Income – Expenditure A:B=3:2
Page 18 of 24
a-b=8 A : B : C = 4x : 6x : 9x
3x-2x=8 A = C – 50
X=8 4x = 9x – 50
A2-B2=(3x)2-(2x)2 X = 10
=9x2-4x2=9*64-4*64 A + B + C = 4x + 6x + 9x
=64*5=320 = 19x = 19*10 = 190
33) Answer: B 1/5th of (A + B + C) = 190/5
Solution: = 38
Let the I and D be the Idly and Dosa respectively 35) Answer: C
2I : D = 2 : 5 ------- (1) Solution:
I : 2D = 1 : 10 –---- (2) Income A : B = 6x : 7x
Comparing (1) and (2) Expenses A : B = 4y : 3y
Savings = 2000 : 4000

I:D=1:5
Income of A=> 6x = 4y + 2000
So price of one idly is 1unit and one dosa is 5 unit
6x – 4y = 2000 –----- (1)
3I : 2D = 3(1) : 2(5)
Income of B=>7x = 3y + 4000
= 3 : 10 7x – 3y = 4000 ------ (2)
34) Answer: B Solving (1) and (2)
Solution: X = 1000
A:B:C=4:6:9 Sum of the incomes = 6x + 7x = 13x

Page 19 of 24
=13(1000) = 13000 A – B = 900 – 600 = 300
36) Answer: B 38) Answer: C
Solution: Solution:
Ratio of income Raj : Raghu = y2/x2 Number=> Hen : Goat = 2 : 3
Ratio of savings Raj : Raghu =y/x Number of legs=> Hen : Goat = 1 : 3
Ratio of expenditures = (y2-y)/(x2-x) Let hen be H and goat be G
= y(y-1)/x(x-1) Then H : G = 2 : 3
= (-y)(1-y)/(-x)(1-x) 2H : 4G = 1 : 3 {legs count}
= y(1-y)/x(1-x) H : 2G = 1 : 3
37) Answer: C Difference between the legs = 2 parts = 80
Solution: Then, 1 part = 40
Let the shares be A and B Since H = 1 part then Total number of hens leg = 40
(A – 50) : (B – 25) = 34 : 23 Number of hens = 40/2 =20 (As, 2 for 2 legs/hen)
23(A – 50) = 34(B – 25) 39) Answer: B
23A – 1150 = 34B – 850 Solution:
23A – 34B = 300 --------- (1) A2 : B2 = 9 : 25
A + B =1500 ------------- (2) B2 – A2 = 144 (Since B>A)
Solving (1) and (2) Put the value of B2 in the above expression
A = 900 and B = 600 25A2/9 – A2 = 144

Page 20 of 24
16A2/9 = 144 Z = 32 + 3 = 35
A2 = 144*9/16 41) Answer: C
A = 12*3/4 = 9 Solution:
A3 = 729 Initially S : G = 9x : 11x(Total 20x units)
40) Answer: C After exchange S : G = 7y : 13y (Total 20y uints)
Solution: Irrespective of the exchange total units is same (i.e.) 20x

= 20y
Let marks obtained by Ram and Raghu is x and y
respectively. The above expression is equal only when x = y
X:y=4:5 So, fraction of stones given by Sita to Geetha against her

original = (9x – 7y)/9x
Let cut off score is z then
Since x = y, put y = x in above expression,
X = z – 3 and y = z + 5
= (9x – 7x)/9x
Equating the above two expression for z then
=2x/9x = 2 : 9
X+3=y–5
42) Answer: C
X–y=-8
Solution:
Put the value of y = 5x/4 in above expression then
Let A, B, V and IV be the votes got by A,B and valid and
X – 5x/4 = - 8
invalid votes respectively.
-x/4 = - 8
V : A = 5 : 3 ----- (1)
X = 32
IV : B = 1 : 2 ---- (2)
Since cut off score z = x + 3
V : IV = 5 : 1 ---- (3)
Page 21 of 24
On comparing (2) and (3) Let the length and breadth be l and b respectively
V : IV : B = 5 : 1 : 2 ----- (4) L : b = 14 : 3
On comparing (4) and (1) l*b = 168 --------- (1)
V : IV : A : B = 5 : 1 : 3 : 2 Put the value of b in the above expression then
From the above, 3l/14 *l = 168
A:B=3:2 l2 = 56*14
43) Answer: C l = 28
Solution: Put l = 28 in (1) then b = 6
Valid : Invalid = 6x : 1x Difference l – b = 28 – 6 = 22
A : B = 6y : 5y (Since A = 120% of B) 45) Answer: B
Since total votes =7x Solution:
Votes got by A = 6y A:B:C:D=4:6:7:9
Votes got by A = (total valid votes*A’s part)/(Total parts A + C = 4x + 7x = 11x

of A and B)
3454 = 11x
= (6x*6)/11 = 6y (Votes got by A)
X = 3454/11
Votes by A: total votes = 6y : 7x
= 314
= ((6x*6)/11)/7x = 36/77
A + B = 4x + 6x = 10x
44) Answer: B
= 10(314)
Solution:
= 3140
Page 22 of 24
46) Answer: C Since the given number are in proportion then,
Solution: 14/18 = 28/x
A : B = 4 : 5 -------- (1) X = 28*18/14
B : C = 8 : 9 -------- (2) X = 36
C : D = 6 : 7 ------– (3) 48) Answer: D
From (1) and (2) Solution:
Multiply (1) by 8 and (2) by 5 X = k/y2 (K is proportionality constant) –----------- (1)
Then, (1)=>A : B = 32 : 40 Put the values of x and y
(2)=> B : C = 40 : 45 4 = k/16
Therefore K = 64
A : B : C = 32 : 40 : 45 -------- (4) Put the value of y and k in (1)
From (4) and (3) From equation (1)
Multiply (4) by 2 and (3) by 15 x = 64/82 = 1
Then(3) => C:D=90:105 49) Answer: C
(4)=>A : B : C = 64 : 80 : 90 Solution:
Therefore, A : B : C = 7 : 9 : 11
A : B : C : D = 64 : 80 : 90 : 105 After increment,
47) Answer: C A : B : C = 110(7)/100 : 115(9)/100 : 125(11)/100
Solution: = 77/10 : 207/20 : 55/4

Page 23 of 24
= 154 : 207 : 275 A : B = (24/100)(7) : (25/100)(13)
50) Answer: B = (6/25)(7) : (13/4)
Solution: = 42/25 : 13/4
A : B = 7 : 13 = 168 : 325

1) Answer: D Mean proportion of 81 and 9 =√(81*9)=27

Alternative Method =9/5 = 9 : 5

5x – 6 /2x – 6 = 8/3 5) Answer: C

8y = 560 Combining the above two ratios

Total amount = 12y + 30y + 20y + 15y = 77y = 77(70) = 8) Answer: C

Ratio of three sides = 3x : 4x : 5x C:B=2:1

Sum of three sides = 3x + 4x + 5x = 180° B:C=1:2

12x = 180° A:B:C=2:1:2

X = 15° 12) Answer: B

Difference between smallest and largest angle = 5x – 3x Solution:

H + 50 = A --–-- (2) 30% of G = (30% of B) + 6

Put the value of A in (2) 30% of 3x = (30% of 2x) + 6

H + 50 = 10H/9 9x/10 = 6x/10 + 6

H = 450 B + G = 2x + 3x = 5(20) = 100

Half yearly marks = 45% of total marks

The terms are: A = 35x, B = 28x, C = 32x 17) Answer: C

A + B : B + C : C + A = 63x : 60x : 67x Solution:

15) Answer: D Third proportion to 16 and 64 is given by = 64*64/16

Solution: 10 more students passed the exam

a/(b + c) = 1 : 2 ---(1) Then the ratio becomes,

By componendo method (P + 10) : (F – 10) = 23 : 19

(a + b + c)/(b + c) = (1 + 2)/2 = 3/2 ------- (2) 19P + 190 = 23F – 230

(1) ÷ by (2) 23F – 19P = 420 –----- (1)

a/(a + b + c) = 1/(1 + 2) = 1/3 Put the value of P in (1)

19) Answer: A 23F – 19(3F/4) = 420

Solution: 23F – 57F/4 = 420

a: (b – c) = 3 : 2 (92F – 57F)/4 = 420

By componendo method 35F = 420*4

(a + b – c)/(b – c) = 5/2 ---(1) F = 48

By dividendo method P = 3(48)/4 = 36

(a – b + c)/(b – c) = 1/2 ---(2) (1/3)P = Boys who passed

(2) ÷ (1)=> (a – b + c)/(a + b – c) = 1/5 Boys who passed = 12

70% of valid vote = 6300 B/C = 6/5

100% = 100*6300/70 = 9000 A : B = 13 : 10

Valid – Invalid votes = 4x – x = 3x B:C=6:5

3x = 3*9000/4 =3*2250=6750 24) Answer: C

3x = 39000/4 =32250=6750 24) Answer: C
