  1. There was a book exhibition in an auditorium. On the first day 14 persons visited the exhibition , on the second day 12 persons and on the third day only 10 persons visited the exhibition . The ratio of admission fees collected from each of them on these days was 2 : 3 :5 resp. If the total amount collected on these three days was Rs. 4560 , what amount was collected on the first day ?
    A) Rs.1400
    B) Rs.1120
    C) Rs.4500
    D) Rs.2457
    E) Rs.2450
    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:
    Ratio of amount
    collected = (14*2) : (12*3) : (10*5) =  28 : 36 : 50 = 14 : 18 : 25
    sum of ratios = 14 + 18 + 25 = 57
    Therefore ,
    Amount collected on day one = (14/57) * 4560 = Rs.1120
  2. An aeroplane first flew with a speed of 440km/h and covered a certain distance .It still had to cover 770km less than what it had already covered but it flew with a speed of 660km/h . The average speed for the entire flight was 550km/h.Find the total dist. covered.
    A) 1578km
    B) 3245km
    C) 4500km
    D) 2750km
    E) 2457km
    View Answer
      Option D
    Solution:

    Let the plane covers x km with 440kmph and (x-770)km at a speed of 660kmph.
    So, total dist. = (2x-770)km at a speed of 500kmph
    Avg. speed = (Total dist./Total time)
    => 550 = (2x – 770)/[(x/440) +( (x-770)/660)]
    => x = 1760
    Therefore ,
    Total dist. covered = 2x – 770 = 2750km
  3. The length and breadth of the floor of a room are 20 feet and 10 feet resp. Square tiles of 2 feet length of three different colors are to be laid on the floor. Black tiles are laid in the first row on all sides. If white tiles are laid in the (1/3)rd of the remaining and blue  tiles in the rest, how many blue tiles will be there ?
    A) 10
    B) 16
    C) 20
    D) 22
    E) 18
    View Answer
      Option  B
    Solution:
    Area of the floor = 20 * 10 = 200 sq. ft.
    Area covered by black tiles = 2(20 + 20 + 6 + 6) = 104 sq. ft.
    Remaining space = 200 – 104 = 96 sq. ft.
    Area covered by white tiles = (1/3)*96 = 32 sq. ft.
    Area covered by blue tiles = 96 – 32 = 64 sq. ft.
    Area of 1 tile = (2)^2 = 4 sq. ft.
    No. of blue tiles  = 64/4 = 16 
  4. Romil had Rs. 4200. He invested some of it in scheme A for 4 years and rest of the money he invested in scheme B for two years. Scheme A offers simple interest at a rate of 22% pa and scheme B offers compounded interest at a rate of 10% pa. If the interest received from scheme A is Rs.1516 more than the interest received from scheme B, what was the sum invested by her in scheme A ?
    A) Rs.1570
    B) Rs.1245
    C) Rs.2560
    D) Rs.2200
    E) Rs.1750
    View Answer
      Option D
    Solution:
    Amount invested in scheme A = Rs. x
    Amount invested in scheme B = Rs.(4200 – x)
    Now,
    (x*22*4)/100 – (4200 – x)[(1 + (10/100)^2)] = 1516
    => (88x/100) – (4200-x)[(121/100)-1] = 1516
    =>(88x/100) – (4200-x)(21/100) = 1516
    =>(109x/100) = 1516 + 882
    => x = Rs.2200
  5. A bottle contains (3/4) of milk and the rest water . How much of the mixture must be taken away and replaced by an equal quantity of water so that the mixture has half milk and half water ?
    A) 15%
    B) 10%
    C) 33(1/3)%
    D) 25%
    E) 22%
    View Answer
      Option C
    Solution:
    Let the mixture be 100 units
    Milk = (3/4)*100 = 75
    ratio of milk and water = 3 : 1
    water = (1/4)*100 = 25
    Let x litre of mixture is taken out then the remaining quantity of milk left = [3 – (3x/4)]
    and water left =  [1 – (x/4)] + x
    Given , 3 – (3x/4)  = 1 – (x/4) + x
    => x = 4/3
    Req. percentage = (1/3)*100 = 33(1/3)%

  8. Two pipes can separately fill a tank  in 10hrs. and 30 hrs. resp. Both the pipes are opened to fill the tank but when the tank is (1/2) full a leak developes in the tank through which (1/2) of the water supplied by both the pipes per hour leak out .What is the total time taken to fill the tank?
    A) 9hrs
    B) 10.5hrs
    C) 15hrs
    D) 11.25hrs
    E) 12hrs
    View Answer
      Option D
    Solution:
    (10*30)/(10+30) = 300/40 = 7.5 hrs.
    Therefore ,
    (1/2) of the tank if filled in (7.5/2) = 3.75 hrs.
    Now, (1/2) of the supplied water leaks out
    Filler pipes only = 1 – (1/2) =1/2
    Work  3.75 hrs will be  completed in = 3.75 / (1/2) = 7.5 hrs.
    Total time =   7.5 + 3.75 =  11.25 hrs.

    C) 1245700
    D) 15784582
    E) 19353600
    View Answer
      Option E
    Solution:
    Total members in a family = 1 + 5 + 8 = 14
    The grandchildren occupy the 4 seats on either side of the table = 8P4 *  4! = 8!
    The grandfather occupy a seat in 4 ways.
    The remaining seats can be occupied in 5! = 120 ways
    Required ways = 8! * 480 = 19353600
