1. (4444÷40)+(645÷25)+(3991÷26)=?
   200.5
   290.4
   280.8
   220.4
   222.2
   Option B
   (4444÷40)+(645÷25)+(3991÷26)=?
   => 111.1 + 25.8 + 153.5 = ?
   => ? = 290.4

    

2. 456 ÷ 24 x 38 – 958 + 364 =?
   110
   120
   135
   128
   132
   Option D
   456 ÷ 24 x 38 – 958 + 364 =?
   => 19 * 38 – 958 + 364 = ?
   => 722 – 958 + 364 = ?
   => 128

    

3. (2222.5 – 1680 x 0.75) x 1.2=?
   1215
   1335
   1050
   1145
   1155
   Option E
   (2222.5 – 1680 x 0.75) x 1.2=?
   => ( 2222.5 – 1260 ) * 1.2 = ?
   => 1155

    

4. 86+34 x 79 -1512÷63+13 x 10 =?
   2878
   2552
   2275
   2890
   2752
   Option A
   86+34 x 79 -1512÷63+13 x 10 =?
   => 86 + 2686 – 24 + 13* 10 = ?
   => 86 + 2686 -24 + 130 = ?
   => 86 + 2816 – 24 = ?
   => ? = 2878

    

5. 2.002+7.9{2.8-6.3(3.6 – 1.5) + 15.6} =?
   45.211
   40.256
   44.115
   40.540
   42.845
   Option E
   2.002+7.9{2.8-6.3(3.6 – 1.5) + 15.6} =?
   => 2.002 + 7.9{2.8 – 6.3(2.1) + 15.6 } =?
   => 2.002 + 7.9{ 2.8 – 13.23 + 15.6} = ?
   => 2.002 + 7.9{5.17} = ?
   => 2.002 + 40.846 = ?
   => ? = 42.845

    

6. 4 men and 10 women were put on a work. They completed 1/3 of the work in 4 days. After this 2 men and 2 women were increased. They completed 2/9 more of the work in 2 days. If the remaining work is to be completed in 3 days, then how many more women must be increased ?
   5
   7
   6
   8
   9
   Option D
   Let one man takes x days to complete the work and one woman takes y days to complete the work independently.
   Then, (4*4)/x + (10*4)/y = 1/3 —-(1)
   (6*2)/x + (12*2)/y = 2/9 —–(2)
   Solving above equations, we get
   x = 108, y = 216
   Let z women be added to complete the work in 3 days.
   Then,
   (6*3)/108 + 3(12+z)/216 = 1 – [(1/3)+(2/9)] => z = 8

    

7. A bought 4 bottles of beer and B bought one bottle of lager, lager per bottle costing twice that of the beer. C bought nothing but paid Rs 50, for his share of the drink which they mixed together and shared equally. If C’s Rs 50 covered his share, then what is the cost of the lager ?
   40
   50
   70
   20
   60
   Option B
   Total amount spent by them = Rs. 150
   Let the cost of one beer be x,
   then the cost of one lager will be 2x.
   Total money spent on beer and larger = (4x + 2x)
   =>6x = 150
   => x = 25
   The cost of the larger = 25 × 2
   = 50

    

8. Seema’s present age is four times her son’s present age and four-seventh of her father’s present age. The average of the present ages of all three of them is 32 years. What is the difference between the Seema’s son’s present age and Seema’s father’s present age ?
   42 years
   40 years
   45 years
   43 years
   48 years
   Option E
   Let Seema’s son’s present age = x years
   Seema’s present age = 4x years
   Seema’s husband’s present age = 4x × 7/4 = 7x years
   => x + 4x + 7x = 32 × 3
   => 12x = 96
   => x = 8
   Required difference = 7x – x
   = 6x
   = 6 × 8
   = 48 years

    

9. X and Y entered into partnership with Rs. 700 and Rs. 600 respectively. After 3 months, X withdrew 2/7 of his stock but after 3 months, he puts back 3/5 of what he had withdrawn. The profit at the end of the year is Rs 726. How much of this should X receive ?
   Rs.380
   Rs.300
   Rs.400
   Rs.366
   Rs.372
   Option D
   X’s investment
   = (700 × 3) + (700 * 5/7 * 3) + (500 * 200 * 3/5) * 6
   = Rs. 7320
   Y’s investment = 600 × 12
   = Rs. 7200
   X’s share from profit = 7320/(7320 + 7200) × 726
   = Rs. 366

    

10. Smallest side of a right angled triangle is 8 cm less than the side of a square of perimeter 56 cm. Second largest side of the right angled triangle is 4 cm less than the length of rectangle of area 96 sq. cm. and breadth 8 cm. What is the largest side of the right angled triangle ?
    10 cm
    12 cm
    18 cm
    15 cm
    13 cm
    Option A
    Side of a square = Perimeter/4
    = 56/4
    = 14 cm
    Smallest side of the right angled triangle = 14 – 8 = 6 cm.
    Length of rectangle = Area/Breadth
    = 96/8 = 12 cm
    Second side of the triangle = 12 – 4
    = 8 cm
    Hypotenuse of the right angled triangle
    = 6^2 + 8^2
    = 36 + 64
    = 100
    = 10 cm
