Practice the questions so as to familiarize yourself with the pattern of questions to be asked in the exam. 

1. 7/15 of 12/11 of 1/ 5 of 7425 = x% of 5400
   5
   14
   21
   24
   17
   Option B
   7/ 15 of 12/11 of 1/5 of 7425 = x% of 5400
   x = (7×12×7425)/(15×11×5×54)
   x = 14

    

2. 1596 × 189 ÷ 49 – 3398 + 1564 =?
   4200
   3188
   4322
   6110
   5125
   Option C
   1596 × 189 ÷ 49 – 3398 + 1564 = ?
   = 1596/49 × 189 – 3398 + 1564
   = 6156 –3398 + 1564
   = 4322

    

3. 125% of 7/6 of x = 84% of 1250
   805
   771
   851
   720
   522
   Option D
   125% of 7/6 of x = 84% of 1250
   x = 84/100 × 1250 × 6/7 × 100/125
   x = 720

    

4. 58.33% of 408 + 62.5% of 360 = 18 × ?
   11
   13
   26
   10
   15
   Option C
   58.33% of 408 + 62.5% of 368 = 18 × ?
   7/12 × 408 + 5/8 × 368 = 18 ×
   x 238 + 230 = 18x
   x = 468/18
   x = 26

    

5. 1206 ÷ 47.92 + 40.11 × 16.96 = ?
   705
   715
   625
   695
   813
   Option A
   1206 ÷ 47.92 + 40.11 × 16.96 = ?
   = 1200/48 + 40 × 17
   = 25 + 680
   = 705

    

6. A batsman average run rate was 60 runs in 50 innings. Difference between the highest and the lowest score was 180. If these two innings are not included the average of remaining 48 innings becomes 58. Find his lowest score.
   11
   21
   14
   18
   19
   Option D
   Total runs = 60 × 50 = 3000 runs
   After excluding two innings.
   Total runs = 48 × 58 = 2784 runs
   H + L = 216, and H – L = 180
   Lowest score = 18 runs

    

7. An equal amount of sum is invested in two schemes for 5 years each, both offering simple interest. The interest amount obtained at 14% is Rs.1000 more than that obtained at 10%. What is the total sum invested?
   10,000
   11,400
   13,320
   16,620
   17,830
   Option
   Difference in interests = Rs.1000
   Difference in rate = 14– 10 = 4%
   Time = 5 year
   In 5 year, rate of interest = 4% × 5 = 20%
   20% = 1000
   100% = (1000 × 100)/20 = Rs. 5000
   Total amount invested in both the schemes = 10,000

    

8. Two men together start a journey in the same direction. They travel 12 and 20 km/day respectively. After travelling for 8 days the man travelling at 12 km/day doubles his speed and both of them finish the distance in the same time. Find the number of days taken by them to reach the destination.
   20
   14
   25
   16
   24
   Option E
   Distance will be equal.
   so, 12 * 8 + 24 * x = 20 * 8 + 20 * x
   x = 16 days
   Total = 16 + 8 = 24

    

9. A dealer sells his goods at 20% loss on cost price but uses 40% less weight. What is his percentage profit or loss?
   30(1/3) %
   35(1/5) %
   33(1/3) %
   24(1/2) %
   31(1/3) %
   Option C
   Here ,a = 20 , b = 40
   Required answer = (40 -20)*100/(100- 40)
   = 33(1/3) %

    

10. A basket contains 8 Red and 6 Pink toys. There is another basket which contains 7 Red and 8 Pink toys. One toy is to drawn from either of the two baskets. What is the probability of drawing a Pink toys?
    101/210
    100/210
    98/211
    101/214
    101/200
    Option A
    Probability of one basket = 1/2
    1st Basket Pink toy probability = 1/2* (6c1/14c1)
    2nd Basket Pink toy probability = 1/2* (8c1/15c1)
    Adding both = (1/2*6/14) + (1/2*4/15) 3/14+4/15
    = 101/210
