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

Directions(1-5): What will come in place of question mark “?” in the following questions.

1. 6269 + 0.75 x 444 + 0.8 x 185 = ? x 15
   400
   450
   510
   350
   630
   Option B
   6269 + 0.75 x 444 + 0.8 x 185 = ? x 15
   => 6269 + 0.75 x 444 + 0.8 x 185 = ? x 15
   => 6269 + 333 + 148 = ? x 15
   =>? = 6750/15 = 450

    

2. 1/8 of 2/3 of 3/5 of 1715 = ?
   85.75
   75.15
   66.55
   70.07
   80.35
   Option A
   1/8 of 2/3 of 3/5 of 1715 = ?
   =1/8 x 2/3 x 3/5 x 1715
   = 1/4 x 1/5 x 1715
   = 85.75

    

3. 1190 / √ (7225) x ? = 3094
   200
   412
   252
   300
   221
   Option E
   1190 / √ (7225) x ? = 3094 1190 / √ (7225) x ? = 3094
   => 1190 / 85 x ? =3094
   => x = 3094 x 85 / 1190
   = 221

    

4. 99 x 21 – 3 √(?) = 1968
   1100
   1369
   1440
   1750
   1525
   Option B
   99 x 21 – 3 √(?) = 1968
   => 99 x 21 – 3 √(?) = 1968
   =>3 √(?) = 2079-1968 = 111
   =>√(?) = 111/3 = 37
   => ? = 37 x 37 = 1369

    

5. ( √(5)-1)^2 = ? – 2 √(5)
   4
   8
   10
   12
   6
   Option E
   ( √(5)-1)^2 = ? – 2 √(5)
   => ( √(5)-1)^2 = ? – 2 √(5)
   => 5+1 – 2 √(5) = ? – 2 √(5)
   => ? = 5+1 = 6

    


Directions(6-10): In the following table, investments and profit of three persons is given for different years in a joint business.

Note:
1. Apart from year 2015, they invested the amounts for same period.
2. Some values are missing. You have to calculate these value as per given data.


6. Investment made by A in 2016 is approximately what % more/less than the investment made by C in 2013?
   50%
   90%
   70%
   60%
   80%
   Option C
   Required % = (55500−16500)/55500×100 = 70%

    

7. Total profit earned by all in 2016 is 578340 Rs. and the ratio of investment made by A and B together and investment made by B and C together is 123 : 137. Then find the difference between the profit made by A and C in 2016 ?
   47628
   35240
   54752
   34520
   55204
   Option A
   Investment made by C in 2016 =[(16500 + 45000)/123]×137−45000
   = 23500 Rs.
   Ratio of their investment = 165 : 450 : 235
   = 33 : 90 : 47
   Difference= [(47 − 33)/170]×578340
   =47628

    

8. In year 2015, A and B invested their amount for 6 months and 4 months respectively and B investedRs.24750 then find the number of months that C invested his amount for?
   6
   2
   4
   10
   8
   Option C
   Let C invested for x months,
   then [24750×4 ]/[13500×𝑥]=66000/36000
   ⇒ x = 4

    

9. Total profit earned by B in year 2012 is how much less (in Rs.) than the profit earned by him in the year 2014?
   182978
   139912.5
   179918
   109944.4
   149903.8
   Option B
   Let profit earned by B in year 2012 = 𝑥
   Profit earned by B in year 2014 = 𝑦
   31500/𝑥=34500/172500
   => x = Rs. 157500
   And, 12000/21000=10050/𝑦
   =>y = Rs.17587.5
   Required Difference = 157500 – 17587.5 = 139912.5

    

10. If the total profit in 2014 is 59587.50Rs. , then find the ratio of the investment of B in 2013 to the investment of A in 2014.
    5:11
    7:9
    5:8
    4:13
    5:7
    Option C
    Let profit of B in 2014 = x
    =>12000/21000=10.050/𝑥 x = Rs. 17587.5
    Profit of A in 2014 = 59587.5 – 178587.5 – 21000
    = Rs. 21000
    Required Ratio = (7500) :(12×21/21)×1000
    = 7500 : 12000 = 5 : 8
