A. 16 B. 15 C. 12 D. 11

Answer: Option B

2. A man fills a basket with eggs in such a way that the number of eggs added on each successive day is the same as the number already present in the basket. This way the basket gets completely filled in 24 days. After how many days the basket was 1 / 4th full?

A. 6 B. 12 C. 17 D. 22

Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let x be the no. of eggs already present in the basket. Then, no. of eggs on each successive days: x, 2x, 4x, 8x, ............ up to 24 days. From here, we can see that the number of eggs are getting doubled on each successive days. On 24th day basket was filled completely. ∴ On 23rd day basket was filled = [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex] Hence, on the 22nd-day basket was filled = [latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex]([latex]\frac{1}{2}[/latex]) = [latex]\frac{1}{4}[/latex]

4. A candidate attempted 12 questions and secured full marks in all of them. If he obtained 60% in the test and all questions carried equal marks, then what is the number of questions in the test?

A. 36 B. 30 C. 25 D. 20

Answer: Option D
Explanation: Let The Number of the question in the test = n  question attempted by candidate = 12  marks obtained by candidate   = 60%  60% of n = 12  ([latex]\frac{60}{100}[/latex]) n = 12  n = 12 x [latex]\frac{100}{60}[/latex] n = 20 
5. A person traveled a distance of 50 km in 8 hours. He covered a part of the distance on foot at the rate of 4 km per hour and a part on a bicycle at the rate of 10 km per hour. How much distance did he travel on foot?

A. 10 km B. 20 km C. 30 km D. 40 km

Answer: Option B
Explanation: A person travelled a distance of 50km in 8 hrs. he covered a part of the distance on foot at the rate of 4 km per hour and a paet on a bicycle at the rate of 10 km per hour Total Distance = 50 km Total Time is taken = 8 hrs Let say he covered X km on Foot Speed on Foot = 4km/Hr Time has taken on Foot  = X/4  hrs Distance covered on Bicycle = 50 - X  km Speed on Bicycle = 10 km/Hr Time took on Bicycle =  ([latex]\frac{50- x}{10}[/latex]) = [latex]\frac{5 - x}{10}[/latex] hr Time took on Foot + Time took on Bicycle  = Total Time => [latex]\frac{x}{4}[/latex] + 5 - [latex]\frac{x}{10}[/latex] = 8 => [latex]\frac{(5x - 2x)}{20}[/latex] = 3 =>  3x = 60 => x = 20

1. A person travels 12 km due North, then 15 km due East, after that 15 km due West and then 15 km due South. How far is he from the starting points?

A. 6 km B. 12 km C. 33 km D. 60 km

Answer: Option A
Explanation: let O be the starting point and P, Q and R the positions after every movement. Hence, Distance from the starting point = Distance of final position R from O = OR = 18 – 12 = 6 km.
2. A person X has four notes of Rupee 1, 2 , 5 and 10 denomination. The number of different sums of money she can form from them is

A. 16 B. 15 C. 12 D. 8

Answer: Option B

So, the possible ways he could do this is by making the following combinations: 1 , 2 , 5, 10 , 1+2 , 1+5 , 1+10 , 2+5 , 2+10 , 5+10 , 1+2+5 , 1+5+10 , 2+5+10 , 1+2+10 , 1+2+5+10 This means that there are a total of 15 cases. Also this can be done by the method of combination. i.e the different combinations possible are: ⁴C₁ + ⁴C₂ + ⁴C₃ + ⁴C₄

1. Statement: Children catch infections when they eat roadside food. Courses of Action: I. Parents should not allow their children to eat roadside food but rather try to prepare that type of food at home. II. The children should be taught about what is healthy food and that the type of food prepared on the road side is not healthy.

Answer: Option C
Explanation: These statement does not indicate why the roadside food leads to infection. It may be because it is cooked in unhygienic conditions. In such a case, I is a proper course of action but not II. If the food itself is unhealthy, then II is a proper course of action but not I. Hence, either I or II follows.
2. Statement: More than 50% of today's working youth, who have surplus money, are addicted to drugs. The course of Action: I. Work stress should be reduced in the office. II. The salaries should be cut down.
