Answer Key

Q1. (4) 

Decrease by 6.25%

Q2. (4) 

Let the cost of the item P, Q, R = Rs p, Rs q, Rs r

SP of the item P=0.79p

SP of the item Q=0.89q

SP of the item R=0.9r

Overall loss percentage of the 1st two items = 14.33% 

p : q = 1 : 2 

Overall loss percentage of the 2nd and 3rd item =10.4% 

q : r = 2 : 3

p : q : r =1 : 2 : 3 

Overall loss percentage: 

Q3. (5) 

a = length of the bus, 

b = speed of the bus in m/s

Relative speed with respect to first one:

(As, 2 km/h =5/9 m/s) 

a = 9b – 5 ----- (i) 

Similarly for second one:

90b − 9a = 100---- (ii)

From Eq (i) and (ii):

a = 50 m and b = 50/9 m/s = 20km/hr 

Q4. (3) 

C.P of the mixture =

Let the C.P of second type sugar = x 

Q5. (3) 

We know that in a mixed double match there are two males and two females.

Two male members can be selected in ⁵C₂=10 ways.

Having selected two male members, 2 female members can be selected in ³C₂ =3ways.

Two male and two female members can arranged in a particular game in 2 ways.

Total number of arrangements = 10×3×2 = 60 ways.

Q6. (3) 

Ratio of efficiencies of Manish, Puneet and Ajay are 42 : 30 : 25.

Hence, the ratio of time taken by Manish and Puneet = 5 : 7

2 ratio = 10 days

1 ratio = 5 days

1050

Manish = 25 --------- 42

Puneet = 35 ---------- 30

Ajay = 42 ------------ 25

Consider, Ajay will take x days to complete the remaining work 

Q7. (2) 

The total wages earned during the 15 days that the worker worked = 15×90 = Rs.1350.

The total wages earned during the first 7 days = 7×87 = Rs. 609.

The total wages earned during the last 7 days = 7×92 = Rs. 644.

Total wages earned during the 15 days = wages during first 7 days + wage on 8th day + wages during the last 7 days.

1350 = 609 + wage on 8th day + 644. 

Wage on 8th day = 1350−609−644 = Rs. 97

Q8. (3) 

Q9. (1) 

Total = 7 + 5 = 12 

Each man will get =

Third man pay 24 Rs for 4 eggs

1 egg price = 6

Difference =

Q10. (2) 

In 2 hour the part filled by all the three pipes =

Remaining part =, which is filled by (P + Q) in 7 hours.

Hence, in 1 hour the part filled by (P + Q) =

since, in 1 hour the part filled by R alone =

Therefore, R alone will fill the bank in 14 hours.
