8) Answer: D
Let the total number of students in both the
Total marks obtained by E in
schools together =100x
Chemistry=34*2=68
Number of students studying in school A =80x
Total marks obtained by E in Physics and
Number of Tamil medium hostellers from school
English=68*75/25=204
A
= 60% of 25% of 80x Required percentage = (105xy – 100xy)/100xy *

= 12x 100 = 5%
Number of tamil medium hostellers from school
B 15) Answer: D
= 50% of 50% of 20x CI received on Rs.5000 after 2 years at 10% rate
= 5x of interest:
Total tamil medium hostellers from both the 5000 * (1 + 10/100)2 – 5000 = 6050 – 5000 =
schools together = 510 Rs.1050
12x+5x =510 So, SI received on Rs.5000 after 3 years at R%
17x =510 rate of interest:
x =30 1050 + 750 = Rs.1800
Total strength of school B = 20x = 600 So,
(5000 * R * 3)/100 = 1800
13) Answer: B 150R = 1800
Speed of stream = 24/2 = 12 kmph R = 12%
680/(x + 12) + 680/(x – 12) = 88
85(x – 12 + x + 12) = 11 * (x2 – 122) 16) Answer: E
170x = 11x2 – 1584 Let the quantity of wine in the final mixture = x
x = 22
Required time = 330/22 = 15 hours
14) Answer: E
Total number of pens = 100x
CP of a pen = y Quantity of wine in the final mixture
Selling price of the pens sold to Ramesh =

120/100 * y * 40/100 * 100x = 48xy
Selling price of the pens sold to Ram = y * x= 241/375
(60/100 * 100x * 80/100) = 48xy Therefore quantity of water in the final mixture =
Selling price of the pen sold to Ravi = y * 75/100 1 – (241/375) = 134/375
* (20/100 * 60/100 * 100x) = 9xy Required ratio = (134/375) : (241/375) = 134:
Total SP =9xy + 48xy + 48xy = 105xy 241
Total CP = 100xy
17) Answer: E
Let the present age of Radhika, Radha and 19) Answer: B

Ridhima be 8a, 5a and b respectively. Ratio of the breadth and perimeter of the
Now, rectangle =15:100 = 3:20
(8a + 6 + 5a + 6 + b + 6)/3 = 8a Breadth of the rectangle = 3x
13a + b + 18 = 24a Perimeter of the rectangle = 20x
11a – b = 18………. (1) Radius of the cylinder = y
Also, Length of the rectangle = 2y
(b – 9): (5a – 9) = 2:1 2 * (3x + 2y) = 20x
(b – 9) = 2 x (5a – 9) 2y = 7x
(b – 9) = 10a – 18 y = 7x/2
10a – b = 9……………. (2) 2 * 22/7 * 7x/2 * 3x/2 = 528
On subtracting both equations, we get x=4
So, a = 9 and b = 81 Radius of the cylinder = 7 * 4/2 = 14 cm
Age of Ridhima after 8 years = 81 + 8 = 89
Hence answer is option E 20) Answer: A
Total work = LCM of 18, 24 and 30 = 360 units
18) Answer: B Pipe A fills in 1 hour = 20 units
Required probability = (2 black and 2 other pen) Pipe B fills in 1 hour= 15 units
or (3 black and 1 other pen) Pipe C can empty in 1 hour = 12 units
= [(3C2*9C2) + (3C3*9C1 ) ] / 12C4 (A + B – C)’s 1 hour work
= [(3*2/2)*(9*8/2) + (1*9)] /495 = > 20 + 15 – 12 = 23 units
= [(3*36) +9] /495 The total time taken by pipes to fill the tank is
= (108 +9)/495 = 117/495=13/55 =360/23 = 15 (15/23) hours
