  1. The total cost of 8 buckets and 5 mugs is Rs. 92 and the total cost of 5 buckets and 8 mugs is Rs. 77. Find the cost of 2 mugs and 3 buckets. A.
    1. Rs. 35
    2. Rs. 70
    3. Rs. 30
    4. Rs. 38

    Answer : Option A.
    CP of 1 bucket = Rs. X
    CP of 1 mug = Rs. Y
    ∴ 8x + 5y = 92………….. (i)
    5x + 8y = 77 …………….(ii)
    By equation (i) × 5 – equation (ii) × 8.
    40x + 25y – 40x – 64y
    = 460 – 616 ⇒ − 39y = - 156⇒ y = 4
    From equation (i),
    8x + 20 = 92 ⇒8x = 92 – 20 = 72 ⇒ x = 9
    ∴ CP of 2 mugs and 3 buckets
    = 2 × 4 + 3 × 9 = 8 + 27 = Rs. 35
  2. If a/(1-a) + b/(1-b) + c/(1-c) = 1 then the value of 1/(1-a) + 1/(1-b) + 1/(1-c) is:

    2. 3
    3. 4
    4. 0

    Answer : Option C.

  1. If (x – 3)2 + (y – 5)2 + (z – 4)2 = 0, then the value of x2/9 + y2/25 + z2/16 is:
    1. 12
    2. 9
    3. 3
    4. 1

    Answer : Option C.
    (x – 3)2 + (y – 5)2 + (z – 4)2 = 0
    ⇒ x – 3 = 0 ⇒ x= 3
    Y – 5 = 0 ⇒ y = 5
    Z – 4 = 0 ⇒ z = 4
    x2 / 9+ y2 / 25+ z2 /16 = 9/9 + 25/25 + 16/16 =1+1+1 = 3
  2. If 4x/3 + 2P = 12 for what value of P, x = 6?
    1. 6
    2. 4
    3.  
    4. 1

    Answer : Option C.
    When x = 6, (4 * 6)/3 + 2P = 12
    ⇒ 8 + 2P = 12
    ⇒ 2P = 12 – 8 = 4
    ⇒ P = 2
  3. The value of (4+3√3)/(7+4√3) is:
    1. 5√3 - 8
    2. 5√3 + 8
    3. 8√3 + 5
    4. 8√3 - 5

    Answer : Option D.
    Expression = (4+3√3)/(7+4√3)
    Rationalizing the denominator

    2. Rs. 36000/-
    3. Rs. 27000/-
    4. Rs. 33000/-
    5. Rs. 30000/-

    Answer : Option B.
    Let the investment of C=Rs x
    Ratio of profits of A &B &C
    =36000×12 : 42000×12 : x×6
    =72000:84000: x

    Solving, x = 36000. B option.
  5. What are the marks obtained by Harish in Maths ?
    I. Average marks obtained by Harish in Maths and economies are 83.
    II. Average marks obtained by Harish in Maths and statistics are 92.
    1. The data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement II alone not sufficient to answer the question.
    2. The data in both the statements I & II together are necessary to answer the question.
    3. The data either in statement I alone or in statement II are sufficient to answer the question.
    4. The data in both the statements I & II together are insufficient to answer the question.
    5. The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

    Answer : Option D.
    We cannot find the marks in maths alone even by using both the statements together as average marks will not tell us exact marks in Maths.
    Data is insufficient. Hence D option.
  6. By what percent is Rajesh’s salary more/less than Mangesh’s ?
    I. Salary of Rajesh is Rs. 12000/-.
    II. Salary of Rajesh and Mangesh together is Rs 28000/-.

    3. The data either in statement I alone or in statement II are sufficient to answer the question.
    4. The data in both the statements I & II together are insufficient to answer the question.
    5. The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.

    3. The data in both the statements I & II together are necessary to answer the question.
    4. The data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question, while the data in statement I alone not sufficient to answer the question.
    5. The data in both the statements I & II together are insufficient to answer the question.

    Answer : Option C.
    Using both statements together , Let no. of students of HR, marketing and Finance be 2x,3x,5x and also 3x-2x=800
    x=800
    So total students =2x+3x+5x=10×800=8000. Hence C.
  8. A shopkeeper purchased 96 identical shirts @ Rs. 220/- each. He spent Rs. 3800/- on transport and packing and fixed a marked price of Rs. 450/- each shirt. However, he decided to give discount of 20% on the marked price of each shirt. If he could sell all the shirts, what is the approximate percent profit earned by him?
    1. 44
    2. 39
    3. 33
    4. 31
    5. 30

    Answer : Option B.
    Cost of 96 shirts=Rs96×220=Rs.21120
    Cost of transportation and packaging =Rs3800
    Total Cost price (CP)
    =Rs 3800+21120 = Rs24920
    Marked Price (MP) of 1 shirt =Rs.450
    Discount=20% of Rs450
    Net Selling Price (SP) of 1 shirt
    =80% of Rs450 = Rs360
    Total SP of 96 shirts =Rs 360×96=Rs.34560
    Profit Percentage = (SP - CP)/CP * 100%
    (34560 - 24920)/24920 * 100% = 38.68% = 39%. Hence, option B.
