a) 12%
b) 10%
c) 15%
d) 18%
e) None of these
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
Total number of people who attended the workshop on Monday
= 420 * (11/6) = 770
Total number of people who attended the workshop on Friday
= 420 * (5/3) = 700
Required % more = [(770-700)*100]/700 = 10 %
2) On Friday, if 192 illiterate males attended the workshop, what was the number of literate females who attended the workshop on that day?
a) 292
b) 300
c) 275
d) 280
e) None of these
Answer: Option (a)
Explanation:
Number of Literate males on Friday = 320 - 192 = 128
Literate female on Friday = 420 - 128 = 292
3) On Saturday, if the number of illiterates (males + females) increased by 40 % and that of literates (males + females) reduced by 20 %, as compared to Tuesday, what was the difference between the number of literates and illiterates who attended the workshop on Saturday?
a) 12
b) 14
c) 15
d) 18
e) None of these
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
Number of illiterate (males + female) on Tuesday = 350 * (3/5) =210
Now, Required difference = (210 * 140/100) – (350 * 80/100)
= 294 – 280 = 14
4) What is the average number of illiterates (males + females) who attended the workshop on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday?
a) 390
b) 400
c) 300
d) 370
e) None of these
Answer: Option (d)
Explanation:
Required average = {(420 * 5/6 + 320 * 5/4 + 300 * 6/5)}/3
= (350 + 400 + 360)/3 = 370
5) What is the ratio of the total number of males (Literates + Illiterates) who attended the workshop on Tuesday and Friday together to that of females (literates and Illiterates) who attended the workshop on the same days together?
a) 5:9
b) 9:7
c) 7:9
d) 1:3
e) None of these
Answer: Option (c)
Explanation:
Number of Illiterate (male + female) on Tuesday = 350 * 3/5 = 210
Number of illiterate (males + females) on Friday = 320 * (5/4) = 400
Number of females (literate + Illiterate) on Tuesday = (350 + 210 - 240) = 320
Similarly on Friday = (320 + 400 - 320) = 400
Required ratio = (240 + 320): (320 + 400) = 7: 9
Directions (6-10): Study the information carefully to answer the following questions.
Data regarding number of employees working in various departments in Company A and B in the year 2018. Both Companies have six departments namely Production, HR, Finance, R&D, Marketing and Accounts. The total number of employees in company A is 9000. In Company A, number of employees in production, HR and finance together is 60 % of the total number of employees. The number of employees in R&D, Marketing and Accounts were 1300, 1440 and 860 respectively. The number of employees in Production department was 25 % more than that of finance department. In company B, the number of employees in Marketing was 900 and they constituted 12 % of the total
number of employees. Also the number of employees in Marketing was 40 % less than that of HR department. The number of employees in production from company B was 10 % less than the same department from Company A. The Number of employees in accounts is 500. Number of employees in finance and R&D department is same. Total Number of employees in finance and R&D together were double the total Number of employees in Marketing and accounts together.
Solution Explanation:Number of employees in production, HR and finance together in company A = (60/100) * 9000 = 5400
Number of employees in R&D (in A) = 1300
Number of employees in marketing (in A) = 1440
Number of employees in accounts (in A) = 860
The number of employees in Marketing was 20 % less than that of HR department.
So, 1440 = (100 - 20) % of HR department
Number of employees in HR (in A) = 1440 * (100/80) = 1800
We have, Production + HR + Finance = 5400
Production + 1800 + Finance = 5400
Production + Finance = 3600 .................... (1)
Let the number of employees in finance be X.
Given that the number of employees in the Production department was 25 % more than that of the finance department.
So, the number of employees in Production in A = (125/100) X
Now equation (1) becomes,
(125/100)X + X = 3600
X = 1600.
Number of employees in finance (in A) = 1600
Number of employees in production (in A) = (125/100) * 1600 = 2000
Number of employees in marketing (in B)= 900
12% of total Number of employees in B = 900
Total Number of employees in B= (100/12) * 900 = 7500
Given that, the number of employees in Marketing was 40 % less than that of HR department
So, 900 = (100 - 40)% of Number of employees in HR (in B)
Number of employees in HR (in B) = 1500
Given that, the number of employees in production from company B was 10 % less than the same department from
Company A.
So, Number of employees in Production (in B) = (100 - 10) % 0f 2000 = (90/100) * 2000 = 1800
Number of employees in accounts (in B) = 500
Also given that, the total Number of employees in finance and R&D together were double the total Number of
employees in Marketing and accounts together
So, (Finance + R&D (in B) = 2 * (Marketing + accounts)(in B)
(Finance + Finance) (in B) = 2*(900 + 500) since, finance = R&D
2 * Finance = 2 * 1400
Number of employees in Finance (in B)= 1400
Number of employees in R&D (in B)= 1400

11) If the ratio of boys and girls in college A for civil engineering students are 4:1 and the civil engineering students are 50% more than the mechanical engineering students. Then find the difference of boys and girls in civil department?
a) 120
b) 430
c) 351
d) 320
e) 270
Answer: Option (c)
Explanation:
Total number of engineering student in college A = (100 - 35) % of 1500
= (65/100) * 1500 = 975
Given that the civil engineering students are 50% more than the mechanical engineering students.
Let x be the number of mechanical engineering students in college A.
Then number of civil engineering students in college A = x + 50% of x = 150% of x
So, x + (150/100)x = 975
(250/100)x = 975
x = 390
So, the no of mechanical engineering students = 390
The number of civil engineering students = 585
Given that the ratio of boys and girls in college A for civil engineering students = 4:1
So, the difference of boys and girls in mechanical students = (3/5) * 585 = 351
12) If the total engineering student in college E is 525 and students in civil department are 12 ½% less than the students in mechanical department and the engineering student in college D is 735. Then find ratio of civil engineering student in college D and E?
a) 445:247
b) 441:243
c) 453:247
d) 441:247
e) 441:249
Answer: Option (d)
Explanation:
Given that, the total engineering student in college E = 525
Let the number of mechanical engineering students in college E be X.
Then the number of civil engineering student in college E = X- 12 ½% of X = 87 ½% of X
Therefore, X + 87 ½% of X = 525
187 ½% of X = 525
X = 280
So, the number of mechanical engineering students in college E = 280
And the number of civil engineering students in college E = 525 - 280 = 245
The number of engineering student in college D = 735
The number of civil engineering in college D= (3/5)*735 = 441
Required ratio = 441:247
13) If arts student in college A is 375 less than arts student in college B. Then the total student in college D is what percent more or less than the total students in college B?
a) 5 1/7%
b) 8 1/7%
c) 2 1/7%
d) 7 1/7%
e) 1 1/7%
Answer: Option (d)
Explanation:
Number of arts student in college A = (35/100) * 1500 = 525
Number of arts student in college B = 525 + 375 = 900
Let the total number of students in college B be X.
We know that, there are 40% of students in college B are arts.
So, (40/100) * X = 900
X=2250
(i.e) Total number of students in college B = 2250
Required percent = [(2250 - 2100)/2100] * 100 = 7 1/7%
14) If total student in college C is 1380 and total arts student in college C is equal to the total students in engineering. And the ratio of boys and girls in college C in arts is 5:1. If 20% of boys are transferred to college E, then find the total students in college E?
a) 1546
b) 1456
c) 1585
d) 1865
e) 1687
Answer: Option (d)
Explanation:
Given that, total student in college C = 1380 and total arts student in college C = total engineering students in college C.
So, total arts student + total engineering student = 1380
Total arts student + total arts student = 1380
Therefore, total arts student = 690
Number of arts boys in college C = (5/6) * 690 = 575
If 20% of boys are transferred to college E, then the total students in college E = 1750 + (20/100) * 575 = 1865
15) Suppose there is another college X in which arts students are 2/5th of arts student in college A and engineering student in college X is 40% of total students of college D then what is the total students in X?
a) 1050
b) 1205
c) 1640
d) 1550
e) 4520
Answer: Option (a)
Explanation:
Total students in X = [(2/5) * (35/100) * 1500] + [(40/100) * 2100]
= 210 + 840
= 1050

There is also the line graph which shows the time taken by Abinav to complete work 2 if it completes whole work with efficiency of different days.
Note- The ratio of efficiency of Anand to Abinav to do work 2 on different days is same as data given in the table for work 1.
16) Anand and Abinav both started to complete work 1 on Jan 2 but Anand left after working for 2 hours. Another person Ajay whose efficiency is 60% of the efficiency of Anand (as of Jan 2) joins with Abinav. Abinav leaves 2 hours before the completion of work then Ajay alone finishes the remaining work. What is the total time in which work 1 is completed.
a) 115/2 hours
b) 111/13 hours
c) 108/19 hours
d) 110/19 hours
e) 110/13 hours
Answer: Option (c)
Explanation:
Let Anand and Abinav can do 3? and 2? unit of work 1 in one hour respectively.
So, total work 1 done by both = (3? + 2?) * 4
= 20?
Anand alone will complete work 1 = 20?/3? = 20/3 hours
Abinav alone will complete work 1 = 20x/2x = 10 hours
Ratio of efficiency of Anand and Ajay = 5: 3
Ratio of time taken by Anand and Ajay = 3: 5
Ajay alone will complete work 1 = 20/(3×3) × 5 hours
= 100/9 hours
Let total time taken in completing work 1 is ?
So, 2/(20/3) + (?−2)/10 + (?−2)/(100/9) = 1
(?−2)/10 + 9(?−2)/100 = 7/10
10? − 20 + 9? − 18 = 70
? = 108/19 hours
17) If a part of work 2 completed by 4 women in 5 hours equals to the part of work 2 done by Abinav on Jan 3 in 7 hours and ratio of efficiency of a women and a children to complete work 2 is 5 : 3 then in what time work 2 will be completed by 3 children.
a) 120/9 hours
b) 200/9 hours
c) 100/11hours
d) 210/11 hours
e) 150/21 hours
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
Part of work 2 done by Abinav on Jan 3 in 7 hours = 7/14 = 1/2
This part of work done by 4 women in 5 hours
So whole work will be completed by 4 women in = 10 hours
One women will complete it in = 40 hours 3 children will complete it in = 40 × 5/3 × 3 = 200/9 hours
18) ? can complete a work in (?–?) hours while ? can complete the same work in (?+?) hours where ? is the time taken by Anand to complete work 2 on Jan 2 and ? is time taken by Anand to complete work 2 on Jan 5. Find the time in which x and y together can complete the work
a) 3/2 hours
b) 7/4 hours
c) 7/5 hours
d) 8/3 hours
e) 9/5 hours
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
Ratio of efficiency Anand and Abinav on Jan 2 = 3: 2
Let Anand and Abinav does 3? and 2? work in one hour
And Abinav completes work 2 in 9 hours
So, total work = 9 × 2? = 18?
Anand will complete work 2 in 18?/3?
= 6 hours
So, ? = 6
Similarly ? = 10 × 4?/5? = 8
Total x and y will complete the work in = (8 −6)(8 + 6)/(8 − 6) + (8 + 6)
19) Anand and Abinav started to complete work 1, alternatively starting from Anand on first hour on Jan 1. Then time taken by Anand and Abinav in completing 80% of work 1, alternatively on Jan 1 is what percent more or less than time taken by Anand and Abinav together to complete work 2 together on Jan 5.
a) 3%
b) 5%
c) 8%
d) 15%
e) 6%
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
Let Anand and Abinav can do 3? and 2? work in one hour on Jan 1
Then 80% of total work 1 = 4/5(3? + 2?) × 3 = 12?
In 4 hours 10? work 1 is completed working alternatively and remaining 2? is complete by Anand on 5th hour
So total time =(4 + 2?/3?)hours = 14/3 hours
Ratio of efficiency on Jan 5 is 5: 4
Ratio of time taken to complete work will be 4: 5
But Abinav completes work 2 in 10 hours on Jan 5
So, Anand will complete work 2 in 8 hours on Jan 5
Together they will complete work 2 in = 8 × 10/18 = 40/9hours
Required percentage=(14/3 − 40/9)/(40/9) × 100 = ((42 − 40)/9)/(40/9) × 100 = 2/40 × 100 = 5%
20) If Abinav with another person Ajay works on work 2 on Jan 5 for 2 hours than 80% of work 2 is completed then, time taken by Ajay alone to finish work 2 is what percent to time taken by Abinav to finish work 1 with efficiency of Jan 5
a) 500/27%
b) 400/13%
c) 300/17%
d) 400/21%
e) 500/21%
Answer: Option (a)
Explanation:
Let Ajay complete work 2 in ? hours
According to question, 2/10 + 2/? = 4/5
2/? = 4/5 − 1/5
2/? = 3/5
? = 10/3
Time taken by Abinav to finish work 1 on Jan 5 = (5 + 4) * 8/4
= 18 hours
Required percentage = 10/(3 × 18) × 100 = 500/27%

a) 7 minutes
b) 169/36 minutes
c) 5 minutes
d) 178/39 minutes
e) None of these
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
Part of the tank filled by pipe A in one minute = 1/12
Part of the tank filled by pipe B in one minute = 1/15
Time taken by pipe F to fill the tank = 4/3 x 12 = 16 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe F in one minute = 1/16
Time taken by pipe G to fill the tank = 2/3 x 15 = 10 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe G in one minute = 1/10
Part of the tank emptied by pipe Q in one minute = 1/18
Let required time = t minutes
According to the question
4/15 + 4/16 + 2/16 – 2/18 + t/10 = 1
⇒ t/10 = 1 – 4/15 – ¼ - 1/8 + 1/9
⇒ t/10 = (360 – 96 – 90 – 45 + 40)/360
⇒ t/10 = 169/360
⇒ t = 169/360 x 10
⇒ t = 169/36 minutes

a) 4 minutes
b) 47/12 minutes
c) 39/10 minutes
d) 5 minutes
e) None of these
Answer: Option (c)
Explanation:
Part of the tank filled by pipe A in one minute = 1/12
Part of the tank filled by pipe K in one minute = 2/12 = 1/6
Part of the tank filled by pipe C in one minute = 1/10
Part of the tank emptied by pipe S in one minute = 1/24
Part of the tank emptied by pipe L in one minute = 1.5/24 = 1/16
Part of the tank emptied by pipe R in one minute = 1/16
Part of the tank filled by pipe C and pipe K in 3 minutes = 3/10 + 3/16
= (24 + 15)/80
= 39/80
Let the required time taken = t minutes
t/16 + t/16 = 39/80
⇒ 2t/16 = 39/80
⇒ t = 39/80 x 16/2
⇒ t = 39/10 minutes
23) Time taken by pipe M to fill the tank is 20% more than the time taken by pipe I to fill the tank and efficiency of pipe N is twice the efficiency of pipe J. Time taken by pipe M and pipe N to fill the tank is what percent of the time taken by pipe D and pipe E together to fill the tank.
a) 67.67%
b) 74.44%
c) 98.48%
d) 81.14%
e) 83.33%
Answer: Option (c)
Explanation:
Time taken by pipe I to fill the tank = 5/4 x 8 = 10 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe I in one minute = 1/10
Time taken by pipe M to fill the tank = 10 x 120/100 = 12 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe M in one minute = 1/12
Time taken by pipe J to fill the tank = 10/9 x 18 = 20 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe J in one minute = 1/20
Part of the tank filled by pipe N in one minute = 2/20 = 1/10
Part of the tank filled by pipe D in one minute = 1/8
Part of the tank filled by pipe E in one minute = 1/18
Let the time taken by pipe M and pipe N to fill the tank = t minutes
And the time taken by pipe D and pipe E to fill the tank = k minutes
t/12 + t/10 = 1
⇒ (5t + 6t)/60 = 1
⇒ 11t/60 = 1
⇒ t = 60/11 minutes
And
k/8 + k/18 = 1
(9k + 4k)/72 = 1
⇒ k = 72/13 minutes
Required percentage = (60/11)/(72/13) x 100
= 60/11 x 13/72 x 100
= 98.48%

Part of the tank filled by pipe B in one minute = 1/15
Time taken by pipe G to fill the tank = 2/3 x 15 = 10 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe G in one minute = 1/10
Part of the tank emptied by pipe P in one minute = 1/20
Part of the tank filled by pipe E in one minute = 1/18
Time taken by pipe H to fill the tank = 6/5 x 10 = 12 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe H in one minute = 1/12
Part of the tank emptied by pipe S in one minute = 1/24
Let the time taken by pipe B, pipe g and pipe P together to fill the tank = t minutes
And the time taken by pipe E, pipe H and pipe S together to fill the tank = k minutes
t/15 + t/10 – t/20 = 1
⇒ (4t + 6t – 3t)/60 = 1
⇒ 7t/60 = 1
⇒ t = 60/7 minutes
And
k/18 + k/12 – k/24 = 1
⇒ (4k + 6k – 3k)/72 = 1
⇒ 7k/72 = 1
⇒ k = 72/7 minutes
Required ratio = 60/7: 72/7 = 5:6
25) Pipe A, pipe C and pipe E are opened simultaneously for 4 minutes then closed and pipe P and pipe S are opened for 2 minutes then closed. Find the time taken by pipe G and pipe J to fill the remaining part of the tank.
a) 27/13 days
b) 41/27 days
c) 31/11 days
d) 51/29 days
e) None of these
Answer: Option (b)
Explanation:
Part of the tank filled by pipe A in one minute = 1/12
Part of the tank filled by pipe C in one minute = 1/10
Part of the tank filled by pipe E in one minute = 1/18
Part of the tank emptied by pipe P in one minute = 1/20
Part of the tank emptied by pipe S in one minute = 1/24
Time taken by pipe G to fill the tank = 2/3 x 15 = 10 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe G in one minute = 1/10
Time taken by pipe J to fill the tank = 10/9 x 18 = 20 minutes
Part of the tank filled by pipe J in one minute = 1/20
Let the required time taken = t minutes
4/12 + 4/10 + 4/18 – 2/20 – 2/24 + t/10 + t/20 = 1
⇒ 1/3 + 2/5 + 2/9 – 1/10 – 1/12 + (2t + t)/20 = 1
⇒ (60 + 72 + 40 – 18 – 15)/180 + 3t/20 = 1
⇒ 139/180 + 3t/20 = 1
⇒ 3t/20 = 1 – 139/180
⇒ 3t/20 = (180 – 139)/180
⇒ 3t/20 = 41/180
⇒ t = 41/180 x 20/3
⇒ t = 41/27 days
