Permutation and Combination
13. Arrange the letters of the word "DARKER" so that the three vowels do not appear together. In how many ways can this be done? A. 240 B. 360 C. 500 D. 720
Answer: Option A
Explanation: 'DARKER' has 6 letters. We can arrange 'n' things in n! ways. While arranging letters/things/numbers, if there are two same things or things get repeated twice, then we need to divide by 2! If there are 3 same things or things get repeated thrice, then divide by 3! And so on..
Thus, we can arrange 6 letters in 6! ways. But R gets repeated. There are 2 Rs. So divide by 2! ∴ Total ways =[latex]\frac {6!}{2!}[/latex] = 360 Vowels not together = Total ways - Vowels together Consider the 2 vowels (A and E) as one group. We have 4 letters and 1 group = 5 We can arrange them in 5! Ways. But again here R comes twice. So we will have[latex]\frac {5!}{2!}[/latex] Also, the 2 vowels can be arranged in 2! Ways. So, Number of ways with vowels together = 2! x[latex]\frac {5!}{2!}[/latex] = 120 ∴ Number of ways with vowels not together = 360 - 120 = 240
14. Priyanka wants to attend Grammy Awards at London and National awards at Delhi before heading to the UNICEF Summit in Berlin. 8 flights come from London to Delhi through different routes and 6 flights fly from Delhi to Berlin through 6 different routes. Find the number of ways in which Priyanka can reach from London to Berlin through Delhi.

A. 14 B. 24 C. 48 D. 100

Answer: Option C
Explanation: This is very easy to solve Say out of 8, Priyanka chooses one way to go from London to Delhi. Now, From Delhi to Berlin she has 6 routes i.e. 6 options Similarly, for the 2nd route between London and Delhi, Priyanka will again have 6 options from Delhi to Berlin. This is true for all 8 routes between London and Delhi. So, answer = 8 x 6 = 48 possible ways to travel from London to Berlin via Delhi.
15. Out of the 35 players attending the opening ceremony of an event, there are 12 cricketers, 10 wrestlers, 5 badminton players, and 8 hockey players. The management wants a cricketer or a wrestler to lead the group in the parade. In how many ways can this be done?

A. [latex]\frac {1}{2}[/latex] B. 13 C. 22 D. 35

Answer: Option D
Explanation: The leader has to be from cricketers or wrestlers i.e. from 12 cricketers and 10 wrestlers. So, there are only 12 cricketers + 10 wrestlers = 22 ways to select a leader Going Further: If it is said that - The organizer of the group wants any one person to be the leader of the group, then The number of ways simply would be 35. Because there are 35 people and anyone can be selected as a leader.
Area
16. The length of a rectangular plot is 20 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot @ 26.50 per metre is Rs. 5300, what is the length of the plot in metres?

A. 40 B. 50 C. 120 D. Data inadequate E. None of these

Answer: Option E
Explanation: Let breadth = x metres. Then, length = (x + 20) metres. Perimeter = [latex]\frac {5300}{26.50}[/latex] m = 200 m. 2[(x + 20) + x] = 200 2x + 20 = 100 2x = 80 x = 40. Hence, length = x + 20 = 60 m.
17. A rectangular field is to be fenced on three sides leaving a side of 20 feet uncovered. If the area of the field is 680 sq. feet, how many feet of fencing will be required?

A. 34 B. 40 C. 68 D. 88

Answer: Option D
Explanation: We have: l = 20 ft and lb = 680 sq. ft. So, b = 34 ft. Length of fencing = (l + 2b) = (20 + 68) ft = 88 ft.
18. A tank is 25 m long, 12 m wide and 6 m deep. The cost of plastering its walls and bottom at 75 paise per sq. m, is:

A. Rs. 456 B. Rs. 458 C. Rs. 558 D. Rs. 568

Answer: Option C
Explanation: Area to be plastered = [2(l + b) x h] + (l x b) = {[2(25 + 12) x 6] + (25 x 12)} m[latex]^ {2}[/latex] = (444 + 300) m[latex]^ {2}[/latex] = 744 m[latex]^ {2}[/latex]. Cost of plastering = Rs.(744 x [latex]\frac {75}{100}[/latex] = Rs. 558.

Problem On Ages
22. Rajan got married 8 years ago. His present age is 6/5 times his age at the time of his marriage. Rajan's sister was 10 years younger to him at the time of his marriage. The age of Rajan's sister is:

A. 32 years B. 36 years C. 38 years D. 40 years

Answer: Option C
Expalnation Let Rajan's present age be x years. Then, his age at the time of marriage = (x - 8) years. x = 6/5 (x - 8) 5x = 6x - 48 => x = 48 Rajan's sister's age at the time of his marriage = (x - 8) - 10 = 30 years. Rajan's sister's present age = (30 + 8) = 38 years.

A. 19 years B. 14 years C. 33 years D. 38 years

Answer: Option B
Expalnation Let the son's present age be x years. Then, (38 - x) = x 2x = 38 => x = 19 Son's age 5 years back = (19 - 5) = 14 years.
24. The age of Arvind's father is 4 times his age if 5 years ago father’s age was 7 times the age of his son at the time. What is Arvind's father’s present age?

A. 35 years B. 40 years C. 70 years D. 84 years

Answer: Option B
Expalnation Arvind’s age be x years Father’s age = 4x years. Therefore (4x -5) =7(x -5) or 3x = 30 = x =10 Arvind’s father’s age is 40 years
Allegation or Mixture
25. Two varieties of wheat - A and B costing Rs. 9 per kg and Rs. 15 per kg were mixed in the ratio 3 : 7. If 5 kg of the mixture is sold at 25% profit, find the profit made?

A. Rs. 13.50 B. Rs. 14.50 C. Rs. 15.50 D. Rs. 16.50 E. None of these

Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let the quantities of A and B mixed be 3x kg and 7x kg. Cost of 3x kg of A = 9(3x) = Rs. 27x Cost of 7x kg of B = 15(7x) = Rs. 105x Cost of 10x kg of the mixture = 27x + 105x = Rs. 132x Cost of 5 kg of the mixture = [latex]\frac {132x}{10x}[/latex](5) = Rs. 66 Profit made in selling 5 kg of the mixture = [latex]\frac {25}{100}[/latex] (cost of 5 kg of the mixture) = [latex]\frac {25}{100}[/latex] * 66 = Rs. 16.50
26. In a can, there is a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 4: 5. If it is filled with an additional 8 liters of milk the can would be full and ratio of milk and water would become 6: 5. Find the capacity of the can?

A. 40 B. 44 C. 48 D. 52 E. None of these

Answer: Option B
Explanation: Let the capacity of the can be T liters. Quantity of milk in the mixture before adding milk = [latex]\frac {4}{9}[/latex] (T - 8) After adding milk, quantity of milk in the mixture = [latex]\frac {6}{11}[/latex] T. [latex]\frac {6T}{11}[/latex] - 8 = [latex]\frac {4}{9}[/latex](T - 8) 10T = 792 - 352 => T = 44.
27. All the water in container A which was filled to its brim was poured into two containers B and C. The quantity of water in container B was 62.5% less than the capacity of container A. If 148 liters was now transferred from C to B, then both the containers would have equal quantities of water. What was the initial quantity of water in container A?

A. 648 B. 888 C. 928 D. 1184 E. None of these

Answer: Option D
Explanation: B has 62.5% or ([latex]\frac {5}{8}[/latex]) of the water in A. Therefore, let the quantity of water in container A(initially) be 8k. Quantity of water in B = 8k - 5k = 3k. Quantity of water in container C = 8k - 3k = 5k Container: A B C Quantity of water: 8k 3k 5k It is given that if 148 liters was transferred from container C to container B, then both the containers would have equal quantities of water. 5k - 148 = 3k + 148 => 2k = 296 => k = 148 The initial quantity of water in A = 8k = 8 * 148 = 1184 liters.

35. Two cards are drawn together from a pack of 52 cards. The probability that one is a spade and one is a heart is:

A. [latex]\frac {3}{20}[/latex] B. [latex]\frac {29}{34}[/latex] C. [latex]\frac {47}{100}[/latex] D. [latex]\frac {13}{102}[/latex]

Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let S be the sample space. Then, n(S) = [latex]^{52}C_{2}[/latex] = [latex]\frac {(52 \times 51)}{(2 \times 1)}[/latex] = 1326. Let E = event of getting 1 spade and 1 heart. n(E) = number of ways of choosing 1 spade out of 13 and 1 heart out of 13 = ([latex]^{13}C_{1}[/latex] x [latex]^{13}C_{1}[/latex]) = (13 x 13) = 169. P(E) = [latex]\frac {n(E)}{n(S)}[/latex] = [latex]\frac {169}{1326}[/latex] = [latex]\frac {13}{102}[/latex] .
