QUANT SOLUTION

36. (3)Ratio of ages of B : A : C = 9*1 : 5*1 : 5*3 = 9 : 5 :

15

9x + 5x + 15x + 15 = 102

x = 3

Present age of A = 5*3 = 15 year

37. (1) Speed in upstream =

= 9

Let upstream speed = 3x = v – u = 9

Downstream speed = 5x = v + u = 15

speed of boat In still water =

= 12 kmph

38. (4) let the rate of simple interest be ‘r% per annum’

= 2200

100r + 120r = 2200

rate r = 10% 39. (2) 120/v + 480/u = 8

200/v + 400/u =

On solving above eqn We get speed of train = 60 kmph

40. (5) 4x/5 = 48 +

x = 100 students.

41. (5) Probability =

42. (2) Rate downstream =

kmph = 8 kmph.

Rate upstream =

kmph = 4 kmph.

Speed in still water =

kmph = 6 kmph.

43. (1) Total surface area = 2πr(r +h) = 704 2π*r*16 = 704 radius, r = 7 and height = 16 -7 = 9 Volume = π*72 * 9 = 1386 m2

44. (4) Let initially total no. of men = x 100*x = 110* (x – 10) Hence total men = 110

45. (5) ratio of their incomes is

A : B : C =

= 35 : 40 : 76

Income of B =

Rs.

49. (4) 39*62 + 7*32 -1560 = 1082 50. (3) 12÷2×3×2 = 6*3*2 = 36 51. (4)

Required difference = (128000 - 107000) = 21000. 52. (3) : From the line-graph it is clear that the

productions of Company X in the years 1997, 1998,

www.bankersadda.com | www.sscadda.com | www.careerpower.in | www.careeradda.co.in Page 3

1999, 2000, 2001 and 2002 are 119000, 99000, 141000, 78000, 120000 and 159000 and those of Company Y are 139000, 120000,100000, 128000, 107000 and 148000 respectively. Total production of Company X from 1997 to 2002 = 119000 + 99000 + 141000 + 78000 + 120000 + 159000 = 716000. and total production of Company Y from 1997 to 2002 = 139000 + 120000 + 100000 + 128000 + 107000 + 148000 = 742000. Difference = (742000 - 716000) = 26000.

53. (1) Average number of vehicles manufactured by Company X =1/6 *(119000 + 99000 + 141000 + 78000 + 120000 + 159000 =119333.

54. (4) The difference between the productions of Companies X and Y in various years is: For 1997 (139000 - 119000) = 20000. For 1998 (120000 - 99000) = 21000. For 1999 (141000 - 100000) = 41000. For 2000 (128000 - 78000) = 50000. For 2001 (120000 - 107000) = 13000. For 2002 (159000 - 148000) = 11000. Clearly, maximum difference was in 2000

55. (2) Required percentage = [(128000/ 78000) x 100]% = 164%

56. (5) Cost price of V = Rs.50 Transportation cost = Rs.30 Total cost price = 50+30=Rs.80 Profit = 4% Selling price = 80*104/100 = Rs.83.2

57. (2) Selling price of X = (Cost price + Cost on transportation + Profit) = 250+20+5=275 Cost price of W =Selling price + Loss = 100+10=Rs.110 Required % = 275*100/110% =250%

58. (4) Loss on Y = Cost price of Y - selling price of Y = 400*100/96-400 =416.66-400 = Rs.16.66 Loss on W = Rs.10 Reqd. ratio = 16.66 : 10 = 833 : 500

59. (3) Selling price of Z = Cost price of Z+ Cost on transportation + Profit = 400+40+440*6/100 = Rs.466.4 Selling price of X =Rs.275 Difference =466.4-275=Rs.191.4

60. (3) Selling price of V = (Cost price + Cost of Transportation)*95/100= (50+30) *95/100 = Rs.76 Selling price of Z = Rs.466.4 Reqd.% = (466.4-76)*100/466.4 = 83.7%

66. (3) Series is based on, +7, +14, +28, +56, ……. And so on Next number = 61 +56 = 117

67. (1)Series is based on , (num-1)/2 , (num-1)/2, (num-1)/2, …and so on Next number = (3-1)/2 = 1

68. (5) Series is based on 12*1 +1 = 13 13*2 +2 = 28 28*3 + 3= 87 87*4 +4= 352 ….. and so on Next number = 352*5 +5 = 1765

69. (1) Series is +30, +60 , +30,+60 , ……. And so on Next number = 345+30 = 375

70. (4)Series is ÷7 , ÷6, ÷5, ÷4, ÷3, ÷2 …….. and so on Number = 15120/7 = 2160
