Explanation -
L1 = 210m(Given)
From Statement I, L2 = 300m
L1 + L2 = 210m + 300m = 510m
S1 + S2 = ([latex]\frac{D}{T}[/latex]) = [latex]\frac{510}{10}[/latex] = 51m/s
From Statement II,
S2 = 60kmph = 60 * ([latex]\frac{5}{18}[/latex]) = [latex]\frac{50}{3}[/latex] m/s
S1 – S2 = [latex]\frac{510}{30}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{51}{3}[/latex] => S1 - [latex]\frac{51}{3}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{51}{3}[/latex]
S1 = [latex]\frac{101}{3}[/latex] m/s
34. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
From Statement I, Speed of stream = [latex]\frac{1}{3}[/latex] * Man’s speed = Man’s speed = 3 * Speed of stream
From Statement II, Man’s speed = 2 * Speed of stream
35. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
From Statement I,
Number of male officers = x
Number of female officers = [latex]\frac{x}{2}[/latex] – 250
Ratio can’t be calculated from Statement I.
From Statement II,
Number of male officers = x
Number of female officers = x * [latex]\frac{1}{7}[/latex]
Ratio = [latex]\frac{x}{\frac{x}{7}}[/latex] = 7:1

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Invalid voter of village C in 2005 = 4000 * [latex]\frac{36}{64}[/latex] = 2250
Valid voter of village C in 2001 = 4000 * [latex]\frac{19}{25}[/latex] = 3040
Now, invalid voter of village C in 2001 = 3040 * [latex]\frac{24}{76}[/latex] = 960
∴Required diff. = 2250 – 960 = 1290
2. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
Total valid votes of village A in 2005 = 2500 * [latex]\frac{100}{20}[/latex] * [latex]\frac{80}{100}[/latex] = 10000
Total valid votes excluding Nota in village A in 2005 = 10000 * [latex]\frac{90}{100}[/latex] = 9000
∴According to question,
x + (x + 200) = 9000
--> x = 4400
Required no. of votes of losing candidates = 4400
3. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
There are 9 different letters in the given word "COMPLAINT", out of which there are 3 vowels and 6 consonants.
Let us mark these positions as under:
[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]
Now, 3 vowels can be placed at any of the three places out of 5 marked 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.
Number of ways of arranging the vowels = 5P3 = 5x4x3 = 60 ways.
Also, the 6 consonants at the remaining positions may be arranged in 6P6 ways = 6! ways = 720 ways.
Therefore, required number of ways = 60 x 720 = 43200 ways.
4. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
There are 9 letters in the given word, out of which 4 are vowels.
In the word "CANDIDATE" we treat the vowels "AIAE" as one letter.
Thus, we have CNDDT(AIAE).
Now, we have to arrange 6 letters, out of which D occurs twice.
Therefore, number of ways of arranging these letters = [latex]\frac{6!}{2!}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{720}{2}[/latex] = 360 ways.
Now, AIAE has 4 letters, in which A occurs 2 times and the rest are different.
Number of ways of arranging these letters = [latex]\frac{4!}{2!}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{1 * 2 * 3 * 4}{2}[/latex] = 12
Therefore, required number of words = (360 x 12) = 4320.
5. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
[latex]\frac{5}{9}[/latex] of 504 = 280 ; [latex]\frac{3}{8}[/latex] of 640 = 240 => 280 + 240 = 520
6. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
4900 ÷ 28 = 175
444 ÷ 12 = 37
175 * 37 = 6475
7. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
The number of boys and girls cannot be in decimal values, so the denominator should completely divide number of students (285).
Check each option:
6 + 5 = 11, and 11 does not divide 285 completely.
10 + 9 = 19, and only 19 divides 285 completely among all.
8. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Let initial expenditure is E per day. Now it is increased by 30 rupees per day,
Initial students = 50 and now they are 58,
[latex]\frac{E}{50}[/latex] – [latex]\frac{(E + 30)}{58}[/latex] = 2
Solve for E, We will get E = 912.5 rupee.
9. Answer - Option B
Explanation - [latex]\frac{(x + x + 2 + x + 4)}{3}[/latex]
X + x + 2 + x + 4 = 40 + [latex]\frac{(x + x + 2 + x + 4)}{3}[/latex]
3x + 6 = 40 + [latex]\frac{(3x+6)}{3}[/latex]
[latex]\frac{(9x + 18 – 3x - 6)}{3}[/latex] = 40
6x + 12 = 120
X = [latex]\frac{108}{6}[/latex] = 18
18 + 2 = 20
10. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
85 * 85 = 7225
11. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
(100 + x)% of X = 336
100x + x[latex]^{2}[/latex] = 33600
x[latex]^{2}[/latex] + 100x – 33600 = 0
(x + 240x)(x - 140x) = 0
X = 140
12. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
500 * [latex]\frac{2}{5}[/latex] = 200
5%L = 200 * [latex]\frac{95}{100}[/latex] = 190
500 + 10 + ([latex]\frac{500 * 10}{100}[/latex]) = 510 + 50 = 560
[latex]\frac{60}{500}[/latex] * 100 = 20%
13. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Dinesh work done = 20 * [latex]\frac{5}{4}[/latex] = 25 days
[latex]\frac{1}{5}[/latex] workdone by Dinesh and gokul in 3days.
Whole work done = 15 days
Dinesh 1 days work = [latex]\frac{1}{25}[/latex]
Dinesh and gokul’s 1 day work = [latex]\frac{1}{15}[/latex]
Gokul’s 1 day work = [latex]\frac{1}{15}[/latex] – [latex]\frac{1}{25}[/latex] = [latex]\frac{2}{75}[/latex]
Gokul alone in [latex]\frac{75}{2}[/latex] days or 37 [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] days.
14. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
Hari + vijay 20 days work = [latex]\frac{1}{30}[/latex] * 20 = [latex]\frac{2}{3}[/latex]
Remaining work = [latex]\frac{1}{3}[/latex]
[latex]\frac{1}{3}[/latex] work in 20 days so whole work in 60 days.
15. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
d = 200 m, a = 16kmph = [latex]\frac{40}{9}[/latex] m/s, b = 20kmph = [latex]\frac{50}{9}[/latex] m/s
Required Distance D = d * ([latex]\frac{a}{b-a}[/latex])b= 200 * ([latex]\frac{40}{9}[/latex] * [latex]\frac{9}{10}[/latex]) = 800m
16. Answer - Option C
Explanation -
Due to stoppages, the bus can cover 9 km less per hour[54 - 45 = 9] Time taken to cover 9 km = ([latex]\frac{9}{54}[/latex]) x 60 = 10 minutes.
17. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
20000 * 5 * [latex]\frac{R}{100}[/latex] + 30000 * 2 * [latex]\frac{R}{100}[/latex] = 12800
1600R = 12800
R = [latex]\frac{12800}{1600}[/latex] = 8
18. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
P[latex](\frac{r}{100})^{2}[/latex] = 1500
P[latex](\frac{25}{100})^{2}[/latex] = 1500
P * [latex]\frac{1}{16}[/latex] = 1500
P = 1500 * 16 = 24000
19. Answer - Option C
Explanation -

20. Answer - Option E
Explanation -

21. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
20litre given remaining = 70 - 20 = 50litre
Quantity of milk = 50 * [latex]\frac{70}{100}[/latex] = 35litre
Quantity of water = 50 - 35 = 15litre
20litres of water added = 50 + 20 = 70
% of milk = 35 * [latex]\frac{100}{70}[/latex] = 50%
22. Answer - Option A
Explanation -
[latex]\frac{70}{100}[/latex] = 100x – [latex]\frac{30.50(110)}{28.50(110)}[/latex] - 100x
0.7 = 100x - [latex]\frac{3355}{3135}[/latex] - 100x
2194.5 – 70x = 100x - 3355
170x = 5549.5
X = 32.64
23. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
192 = 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3
384 = 4 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 6
2304 = 4 × 2 × 2 × 6 × 2
HCF = 4 × 2 × 2 = 16 × 2 = 32
24. Answer - Option D
Explanation -
2511 = 81 × 31
3402 = 81 × 42
Hence HCF is 81

Explanation -
[latex]\frac{22}{7}[/latex][(R[latex]^{2}[/latex]) – (r[latex]^{2}[/latex])] * h = [latex]\frac{22}{7}[/latex](7 * 7 * 18)
[(35[latex]^{2}[/latex]) – (7[latex]^{2}[/latex])]h = 14 * 14 * 18
(42 * 28)h = 14 * 14 * 18
h = 3 m
37. Answer - Option B
Explanation -
600 = ([latex]\frac{120}{100}[/latex]) * cp
so cp of first goat = 500. So in the first deal he gains 100 rupees.
But on selling second horse he losses 5 percent, means ([latex]\frac{5}{100}[/latex]) * CP = 100
So cp of second goat = 2000
38. Answer - Option C
