    A. 1500 B. 2000 C. 3500 D. 3000 E. None of these

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Difference of Airtel user in Chennai and Mumbai = 7000 – 5000 = 2000
Difference of Vodafone user in Delhi and Bangalore = 7000 – 3000 = 4000
Average = [latex]\frac {(2000 + 4000)}{2} = 3000[/latex]
2. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Required percentage = [latex]\frac {8000}{(7000 + 4000 + 6000)} \times 100 = 47%[/latex]
3. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
Average = [latex]\frac {(8000 + 7000 + 3000 + 4000)}{4} = 5500[/latex]
4. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Average Airtel and Jio users in Chennai = [latex]\frac {(5000 + 10000)}{2} = 7500[/latex]
Average of Vodafone and Jio users in Delhi = [latex]\frac {(3000 + 9000)}{2} = 6000[/latex]
Required ratio = 7500: 6000 = 5 : 4
5. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Male user in Jio = [latex]\frac {8000 \times 60}{100} = 4800[/latex]
Female users in Jio = [latex]\frac {8000 \times 40}{100} = 3200[/latex]
Female users in Airtel = [latex]\frac {80}{100} \times 6000 = 4800[/latex]
Number of male users in Airtel = [latex]\frac {20}{100} \times 6000 = 1200[/latex]
Difference = (4800 + 3200) – (4800 + 1200) = 2000

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
[latex]{16}^{3}[/latex] – 16 = 4080
[latex]{15}^{3}[/latex] – 15 = 3360
[latex]{14}^{3}[/latex] – 14 = 2730
[latex]{13}^{3}[/latex] – 13 = 2184
[latex]{12}^{3}[/latex] – 12 = 1716
[latex]{11}^{3}[/latex] – 11 = 1320
2. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
3 + (3 * 6) = 21
21 + (2 * 6) = 33
33 + (1 * 6) = 39
39 + (0 * 6) = 39
39 + (-1 * 6) = 33
3. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
19 * 1 – 2 = 17
17 * 2 – 4 = 30
30 * 3 – 8 = 82
82 * 4 – 16 = 312
312 * 5 – 32 = 1528
4. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}
E = {HTT, THT, TTH, TTT}
n(S) = 8
n(E) = 4
P(E) =[latex]\frac {n(E)}{ n(S)} = \frac {4}{8}[/latex] = 0.5
5. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
S = {1, 2, 3, … , 49, 50}
E = {4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48, 7, 14, 21, 35, 42, 49}
n(S) = 50
n(E) = 18
P(E) = [latex]\frac {n(E)}{ n(S)} = \frac {18}{50} = \frac {9}{25}[/latex]
1. A dealer marks price of all the goods at 30 % above the cost price and assumes that he will make a profit of 15 % if he offers a discount of 15%. Find what will be his actual profit on sales?

    A. 10 : 3 B. 8 : 5 C. 9 : 4 D. 1 : 1 E. 4 : 4

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
Let cost price goods be Rs. 100
Marked price (Selling Price) marked by the shopkeeper on goods = Rs. 130
He sells the goods at a discount of 15 %
Therefore,
Selling price = 85 % of Rs. 130 = Rs. 110.50
Gain = S.P. – C.P. = 110.5 – 100 = 10.50 %
2. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Profit earned by manufacturer = 20 %
Profit earned by wholesaler = 25 %
Profit earned by retailer = 30%
S.P. of shoes = Rs. 50
Therefore, 130 % of 125 % of 120 % of x = 50.50
=[latex]\frac {120}{100} \times \frac {125}{100} \times \frac {130}{100} \times x = \frac {5050}{100} [/latex]
[latex]\frac {195}{100} x = \frac {5050}{100} [/latex]
x = [latex]\frac {5050 \times 100}{195 \times 100} [/latex]
x = 25.89
Cost price of shoes = Rs. 25.89
3. Answer - Option A
4. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Hint: If 'A' is 'x' times as good a workman as 'B', then ratio of work done by A & B = x: 1
Monika's 1 day work : Sonika's 1 day work = 2:1
(Monika's + Sonika's ) 1 day work = [latex]\frac {1}{20}[/latex]
Divide [latex]\frac {1}{20}[/latex] in the ratio 2:1 ---------( To divide the number 'a' into ratio x & y , we have first part = [latex]\frac {ax}{x + y}[/latex])
Therefore, Monika's 1 day work = [latex](\frac {1}{20}) \times (\frac {2}{2} + 1) = \frac {1}{30}[/latex]
Hence, Monika will alone finish the work in 30 days.
5. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Given: Total quantity of mixture = 13 liters
3 litres of mixture is removed from the container – So, let's forget this altogether!
Now, you are left with only 10 litres of mixture in 3:2 ratio.
Milk in 10 litres mix = 10 x [latex]\frac {3}{(2 + 3)}[/latex] = 6 liters
Water in 10 litres mix = 10 x [latex]\frac {2}{(2 + 3)}[/latex] = 4 liters
We add 3 litres milk to this.
So, milk in new mix is = 6 liters + 3 litres = 9 litres
Water= 4 litres
Ratio of milk : water = 9 : 4
