Question 1) In a race of 300 m, A can beat B by 35 m and C by 20 m. In a race of

400 m, C will beat B by:
A. 20m
B. 18m
C. 21m
D. 15m
Your answer : No option was selected

Correct answer : Option C
Solution
A : B = 300 : 265
A : C = 300 : 280
C : B = 280 : 265
When C covers 400m then B covers ((265 / 280) * 400) = 378.57 approx
to 379m
To find when C beat B 400 379 = 21m
Question 2) If x = (5 + 1) / (5 - 1) and y = (5 -1) / (5+1), then the value of (x2

+ y2)?
A. 7

B. 28
C. 8
D. 26

Correct answer : Option A
Solution
X = ((5 + 1) / (5 - 1)) * ((5 + 1) / (5 + 1)) = (5 + 1)2 / 5 - 1 = (3 +

5) / 2
Y = ((5 - 1) / (5 + 1)) * ((5 - 1) / (5 - 1)) = (3 - 5) / 2
(x2 + y2) = ((3 + 5)/2)2 + ((3 - 5)/2)2
=28/4
=7
Question 3) Find out the compound interest rate at which Jason should invest a
sum of Rs.1,200 to get Rs.1,800 at the end of 2 years.?
A. 22.47%
B. 20.32%
C. 15%
D. 30.23%

Solution
As per formula
C.I = p(1 + R/100)2
1800 = 1200(1 + R/100)2
1800 / 1200 = (1 + R/100)2
3 / 2 = (1 + R/100)2
(3 / 2)1/2 = (1 + R/100)
(1.5)0.5 = (1 + R/100)R = 22.47%

Question 4) Find the odd man out 2, 5, 8, 16, 28, 34, 46
A. 5
B. 28
C. 8
D. 46

Solution
Each of the numbers except 5 is even number
Question 5) Ken invest a sum of Rs. 13,000 in a simple interest and get Rs. 17,000
at the end of 6 years. Find out the rate of interest for his investment
?
A. 5.25%
B. 5.05%
C. 5.40%
D. 5.13%

Correct answer : Option D
Solution
Principle amount = simple interest
17000 13000 = 4000
Simple interest = p*n*r/100
4000 = 13000 * 6 * r/100

400000 = 78000 * r
=> r = 5.13%
Question 6) A person takes a loan of Rs. 400 at 10% simple interest. He returns Rs.
300 at the end of 1 year. In order to clear his dues at the end of
second year, how much should he pay:
A. 140
B. 180
C. 154
D. 150

Solution
sum of amount = 400 then the interest is per year 40
at the end of the year the other person returns Rs.300
Remaining principal amount of Rs.100 (in the actual loan of Rs.400) would
get an additional Rs.10 interest during year 2.
Total amount he owes at the end of second year is = > Initial capital +
Interest during year 1 + Interest during year 2 - sum paid during end of
year 1
=> 400 + 40 + 10 - 300 = 150

Question 7) P is two years older than Q who is thrice as old as R. If the total of
the ages of P, Q and R be 30, then how old is P?
A. 12
B. 16
C. 14
D. 15

Solution
Let the age of Q be 3x. Then P's age will be 3x+2 and R's age will be x
Sum of three ages is P + Q + R = 3x+2 + 3x + x = 30
7x = 28
x=4
Age of P is 3x + 2 = 3 *4 + 2 = 14
Question 8) The least multiple of 7, which leaves a remainder of 4, when divided

by 6, 9, 15 and 18 is:
A. 245
B. 224
C. 364
D. 350

Solution
To find the least multiples L.C.M have to take
The L.C.M of 6, 9, 15, 18 = 90
(90 * X + 4)/7
Sub X=1, 2, 3, 4,
90(1) +4)/7= 3 (remainder)

(90(2)+4)/7= 3
(90(3)+4)/7= 2
(90(4)+4)/7= 0
So X = 4
Sub X=4 to find the least multiple number (90 * 4) + 4 = 364

Question 9) The sum of the two digits is 10. The ratio of the two digits is 2 : 6.
Find the numbers.
A. 3 & 7
B. 3.2 & 6.8

C. 2.5 & 7.5
D. 3.5 & 6.5

Solution
x + y = 10 and the ratio x / y = 2 / 6
So, x = 2y / 6
Sub x = 2y/6 in the first equation, we get 8y = 60
Y = 7.5 & X = 2.5
Question 10) (7)4 x (7)X = 710 Find X ?
A. 8
B. 10
C. 6
D. 9

Solution
(7)4 * (7) x = 710
74 + x = 710
4 + x = 10
x=6
Question 11) A clock started working since noon. By 20 minutes past 6, the hour
hand has turned through:
A. 180 degree
B. 100 degree
C. 190 degree
D. 55 degree

Solution
Convert the 20 minutes 6 hours into 19/3
For hour hand (360/12) * (19/3) = 190 degree
Question 12) A rice merchant mixes two grades of rice. Grade A rice costs him
Rs.50 per KG. Grade B costs him Rs.56 per KG. He mixes 40KG of
Grade A Rice with 20KG of Grade B rice and sells the mixture at
Rs.70 per KG. His profit percent is:
A. 35%
B. 32%
C. no lose
D. 30%

Solution
Total mixture = 40 Kg+20 Kg = 60 Kg

Cost Price of Total mixture = ((40*50) + (20*56)) = Rs.3120
Selling Price of 1Kg of mixture = Rs.70
Selling Price of the total 60 KG mixture is = 70 * 60 = Rs.4200
Now, Profit = Selling price cost price

= 4200 3120 = Rs.1080
Profit Percent = ((1080 / 3120) * 100) = 34.615% round off to 35%
Question 13) Dave can do a piece of work in 30 days. John is 50% more efficient
than Dave. The number of days taken by John to do the same piece
of work is:
A. 15 days
B. 17 days
C. 20 days
D. 45 days

Solution
Ratio between Dave and John is 150 : 100 = 6 : 4
6 : 4 = 30 : x
6 * x = 120 x = 20 days
Question 14) By investing in 9(5/3)% stock at 70, one earns Rs. 2000. The
investment made is:
A. 12154
B. 13256
C. 13125
D. 12354

Solution
By investing Rs.70, one gets 32/3 as earnings
To earn Rs. 2000, one has to invest => 2000 * 70 / (32/3))
= 2000 * 70 *3/ 32
= 13125
Question 15) 0.006/? = 0.02
A. 0.03
B. 0.003
C. 3.0
D. 0.3

Solution
(0.006/x) = 0.02
0.006/0.02 =0.3
