1. [(42% of 550+16)-12*(244/4-54)] =?
   150
   111
   142
   163
   155
   Option D
   [(42% of 550+16)-12*(244/4-54)] =?
   => [(231+16) – 12*(61-54)] =?
   => (247-84) = ?
   => ? = 163

    

2. (35% of 40% of 650 – 62)+ ? *(592 /16-26) = 315
   20
   18
   26
   10
   15
   Option C
   (35% of 40% of 650 – 62)+ ? *(592 /16-26) = 315
   => (91-62) + ? *11 = 315
   => 29+?*11 = 315
   => ? = 26

    

3. (36*23+442/17)+(18*25-?) – 209 = 778
   300
   310
   320
   311
   317
   Option E
   (36*23+442/17)+(18*25-?) – 209 = 778
   => (828+26)+(450-?)-209 = 778
   => 1095 – ? = 778
   => ? = 317

    

4. [613 – {(64+37*16)-501}*(946/86-?)] = 148
   8
   4
   7
   6
   5
   Option A
   [613 – {(64+37*16)-501}*(946/86-?)] = 148
   => [613-(656-501)*(11-?)] = 148
   => 613 – 1705 + 155*? = 148
   => 155*? = 1240
   => ? = 8

    

5. (559/13+19*7)-819/21of 3 = ?
   154
   163
   144
   125
   110
   Option B
   (559/13+19*7)-819/21of 3 = ?
   => (43+133) -819/63 = ?
   => 176-13 =?
   => ? = 163

    

6. The market price of an article is 30% above the cost price of the article. If the shopkeeper sold the article at 15% discount then find the profit earned by the shopkeeper.
   15%
   13.3%
   9.5%
   8.2%
   10.5%
   Option
   Let CP be Rs.x
   MP = 130% of x = Rs. 13x/10
   SP = 85% of 13x/10 = 221x/200
   Profit = 221x/200 – x = 21x/200
   Profit% = 21x/200/x*100 = 10.5%
   

    

7. The average number of articles sold by a shopkeeper in a week was 64. The average number of articles sold from Monday to Thursday was 59 while the average number of articles sold from Thursday to Sunday was 62. Find the number of articles sold on Thursday.
   25
   30
   22
   36
   24
   Option D
   Total number of articles sold in a week = 64*7
   = 448
   Total number of articles from Monday to Thursday = 59*4
   = 236
   Total number of articles from Thursday to Sunday = 62*4
   = 248
   Now, 236+248 –x = 448
   =>x = 36

    

8. A alone can do a work in 12 days but when A works with B, the work gets completed in 60/7 days. B and C together do the work in 12 days. In how many days can A and C together do the work?
   7.5 days
   8.2 days
   5 days
   7.5 days
   5.5 days
   Option A
   Let time taken by B alone to complete the work be x days and C be y days.
   1/12+1/x = 7/60
   => 1/x = 2/60
   => x = 30
   Now, 1/30+1/y = 1/12
   =>1/y = 3/60
   => y = 20
   Part of the work by A and C in a day = 1/12+1/20
   = 8/60
   Required number of days = 60/8
   = 7.5 days

    

9. The ratio of the length to the breadth of a rectangular floor is 7:5. The perimeter of the floor is 96 m.Find the cost of cleaning the floor at the rate of 19 per m^2.
   Rs. 11600
   Rs. 12300
   Rs. 10640
   Rs. 12500
   Rs. 10000
   Option C
   2*(7x+5x) = 96
   => x= 4
   Length of the floor = 7x = 28 m
   Breadth of the floor = 5x = 20 m
   Required cost = 19*20*28 = Rs. 10640

    7/11
    4/11
    Option E
    Number of boys study in the coaching = 12-7 =5
    Required Probability = [7C1*5C2+5C3]/12C3 = 80/220 = 4/11
