Explanation: Clearly, 2 * 3 = 6, 6 * 3 = 18, 18 * 3 = 54,..... So, the series is a G.P. in which a = 2, r = 3. Therefore 8th term = [latex]ar^{8-1}[/latex] = [latex]ar^{7}[/latex] = 2 x [latex]3^{7}[/latex] = (2 x 2187) = 4374.
4. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Total number of votes polled = (1136 + 7636 + 11628) = 20400. Required percentage =[latex]\frac{11628}{20400}[/latex] * 100= 57%.
5. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Number of valid votes = 80% of 7500 = 6000. Valid votes polled by other candidate = 45% of 6000 = [latex]\frac{45}{100}[/latex] * 6000 = 2700.
6. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let C.P.= Rs. 100. Then, Profit = Rs. 320, S.P. = Rs. 420. New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125 New S.P. = Rs. 420. Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295. Required percentage = ([latex]\frac{295}{420}[/latex]*100)= 70% (approximately)
7. Answer: Option C
Explanation: S.P. = 85% of Rs. 1400 = Rs.([latex]\frac{85}{100}[/latex]*1400)= Rs. 1190
8. Answer: Option D
Explanation: (C.P. of 17 balls) - (S.P. of 17 balls) = (C.P. of 5 balls) C.P. of 12 balls = S.P. of 17 balls = Rs.720. C.P. of 1 ball = Rs.([latex]\frac{720}{120}[/latex])= Rs. 60
9. Answer: Option B
Explanation: C.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (26 * 20 + 30 * 36) = Rs. (520 + 1080) = Rs. 1600. S.P. of 56 kg rice = Rs. (56 * 30) = Rs. 1680. Gain =([latex]\frac{80}{1600}[/latex] * 100)%= 5%.
10. Answer: Option C
Explanation: 1 woman's 1 day's work =[latex]\frac{1}{70}[/latex] 1 child's 1 day's work =[latex]\frac{1}{140}[/latex] (5 women + 10 children)'s day's work =([latex]\frac{5}{70}[/latex] + [latex]\frac{10}{140}[/latex])= [latex]\frac{1}{7}[/latex] 5 women and 10 children will complete the work in 7 days.
11. Answer: Option D
Explanation: (A + B)'s 20 day's work =([latex]\frac{1}{30}[/latex]*20) = [latex]\frac{2}{3}[/latex] Remaining work = (1 - [latex]\frac{2}{3}[/latex])= [latex]\frac{1}{3}[/latex] Now,[latex]\frac{1}{3}[/latex] work is done by A in 20 days Therefore, the whole work will be done by A in (20 x 3) = 60 days.
12. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Ratio of times taken by Sakshi and Tanya = 125 : 100 = 5 : 4. Suppose Tanya takes x days to do the work. 5 : 4 :: 20 : x x = [latex]\frac{4 * 20}{5}[/latex] x = 16 days. Hence, Tanya takes 16 days to complete the work.
13. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Number of pages typed by Ravi in 1 hour =[latex]\frac{32}{6}[/latex]= [latex]\frac{16}{3}[/latex] Number of pages typed by Kumar in 1 hour =[latex]\frac{40}{5}[/latex]= 8 Number of pages typed by both in 1 hour = ([latex]\frac{16}{3}[/latex]+8)= [latex]\frac{40}{3}[/latex] Time taken by both to type 110 pages = (110 * [latex]\frac{3}{40}[/latex])hours = 8[latex]\frac{1}{4}[/latex]hours (or) 8 hours 15 minutes
14. Answer: Option B
Explanation: (20 x 16) women can complete the work in 1 day. 1 woman's 1 day's work =[latex]\frac{1}{320}[/latex] (16 x 15) men can complete the work in 1 day. 1 man's 1 day's work =[latex]\frac{1}{240}[/latex] So, required ratio = [latex]\frac{1}{240}[/latex] : [latex]\frac{1}{320}[/latex] 4 : 3 (cross multiplied)
15. Answer: Option B
Explanation: Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less. Time taken to cover 9 km =([latex]\frac{9}{54}[/latex]*60)= 10 min
16. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Let the actual distance travelled be x km. Then,[latex]\frac{x}{10}[/latex]= [latex]\frac{x+20}{14}[/latex] 14x = 10x + 200 4x = 200 x = 50 km.
17. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Let Abhay's speed be x km/hr. Then,[latex]\frac{30}{x}[/latex] - [latex]\frac{30}{2x}[/latex] 6x = 30 x = 5 km/hr.
18. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Required decimal =[latex]\frac{1}{60 * 60}[/latex]= .00027
19. Answer: Option B
Explanation: [latex]\frac{(0.1)^{3}+(0.02)^{3}}{2^{3}[(0.1)^{3}+(0.02)^{3}]}[/latex]= 0.125
20. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Total sale for 5 months = Rs. (6435 + 6927 + 6855 + 7230 + 6562) = Rs. 34009. Required sale = Rs. [ (6500 * 6) - 34009 ] = Rs. (39000 - 34009) = Rs. 4991.
21. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Average of 20 numbers = 0. Sum of 20 numbers (0 * 20) = 0. It is quite possible that 19 of these numbers may be positive and if their sum is a then 20th number is (-a).
22. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Let the shares of A, B, C and D be Rs. 5x, Rs. 2x, Rs. 4x and Rs. 3x respectively. Then, 4x - 3x = 1000 x = 1000. B's share = Rs. 2x = Rs. (2 * 1000) = Rs. 2000.
23. Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let the original salaries of Ravi and Sumit be Rs. 2x and Rs. 3x respectively. Then, [latex]\frac{2x + 4000}{3x + 4000}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{40}{57}[/latex] 57(2x + 4000) = 40(3x + 4000) 6x = 68,000 3x = 34,000 Sumit's present salary = (3x + 4000) = Rs.(34000 + 4000) = Rs. 38,000.
24. Answer: Option B
Explanation: (x * 5) = (0.75 * 8) x= [latex]\frac{6}{5}[/latex]= 1.20
25. Answer: Option C
Explanation: S.I. for 1 year = Rs. (854 - 815) = Rs. 39. S.I. for 3 years = Rs.(39 * 3) = Rs. 117. Principal = Rs. (815 - 117) = Rs. 698.
26. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Principal = Rs. ([latex]\frac{100 * 5400}{12 * 3}[/latex])= Rs. 15000
27. Answer: Option C
Explanation: Amount= Rs.[25000 * (1+[latex](\frac{12}{100})^{3}[/latex])] = (25000*[latex]\frac{28}{25}[/latex] * [latex]\frac{28}{25}[/latex] * [latex]\frac{28}{25}[/latex]) = Rs. 35123.20 C.I. = Rs. (35123.20 - 25000) = Rs. 10123.20
28. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Amount = Rs. (30000 + 4347) = Rs. 34347. Let the time be n years. Then, 30000 (1+ [latex]\frac{7}{100})^{n}[/latex])= 34347 =[latex](\frac{107}{100})^{n}[/latex]= [latex]\frac{34347}{30000}[/latex]= [latex](\frac{107}{100})^{2}[/latex] n = 2 years.
29. Answer: Option A
Explanation: Required number = H.C.F. of (91 - 43), (183 - 91) and (183 - 43) = H.C.F. of 48, 92 and 140 = 4.
30. Answer: Option D
Explanation: L.C.M. of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 is 120. So, the bells will toll together after every 120 seconds(2 minutes). In 30 minutes, they will toll together [latex]\frac{30}{2}[/latex]+1= 16 times
