GiB Gasket, an online grocery store delivers groceries in Mumbai. Lately, it has been found that 25% of the
products delivered by the store are defective. To reduce the number of defective products GiB Gasket came up
with an automatic conveyer belt setup which can identify 85% of the defective products. But, the setup falsely
detects 15% of non-defective products into the defective category. Only products which are identified as non
defective are dispatched to the customers while the products identified as defective are sent back to the
warehouse. A product identified as defective doesn’t yield any profit /loss if not dispatched and that is omitted
for profitability calculations.
Question 13
This Navratras, the GiB Gasket dispatched 27000 orders on day 1 after using the conveyer belt setup. How
many defective products will be delivered to the customers?
Question 14
Profit and loss are calculated only on the dispatched products. The store earns a profit of 24% on every non
defective product dispatched. It earns a loss of 40% on every defective product dispatched. If the conveyer belt
setup costs 1% of the cost price for each product dispatched, then what will be the net profit percentage of the
store assuming that for all the products cost price is the same?

can ignore the time taken by an employee to start and stop the fryer; thus, an employee can be engaged in
preparing other items while the frying is on. However fries cannot be prepared in anticipation of future orders.
Healthy Bites wishes to serve the orders as early as possible. The individual items in any order are served as
and when ready; however,the order is considered to be completely served only when all the items of that order
are served.
The table below gives the orders of three clients and the times at which they placed their orders:

For the upcoming series vs England, the Squad Selection Committee selects players and assigns them jersey
numbers in the following way:
First, it starts with the players who have already played for India. The players are ranked as per their Fitness
Index ( highest fitness index is ranked 1). Then the first player's selection process starts, he must meet at
least one of the below three criteria: 1) His batting average must be among top 6 batting averages of all players
who have played for India 2) The number of wickets taken by him should be among the top 3 of all players who
have played for India. 3) His number of catches/runouts should be the highest among all players who have
played for India. If a player is selected, he is assigned a jersey number 1. Similarly, it continues for other players,
and the nth player to be selected is given a jersey number n.
After the selection round of A to K is done, the selection of P to W begins. The players are ranked as per their
Fitness Index ( highest fitness index is ranked 1). Then the first player's selection process starts, he must meet
at least one of the below two criteria: 1) His total runs scored must be among top 4 runs scored of all players
from P to W 2) The number of wickets taken by him should be among the top 3 of all players from P to W. If
after meeting all these criteria, he is selected, he is assigned a jersey number which immediately succeeds the
last jersey number from A to K. So, if K is the last person to be picked from A to K, and he is assigned a jersey
number of 8, the first one from to be selected from P to W is given a jersey number 9. Also, players successively
selected are given successive jersey numbers.
If the rank of 2 players based on their Fitness Index is the same, we rank them in alphabetical order of their

the other. If the weights are equal, the beam attains equilibrium. A beam balance cannot measure the exact
weight of the object and can only convey whether the given object weights less than, equal to, or more than the
standard weight.
A spring balance has a pan or hook attached to a spring. The object to be weighed is placed on the hook or pan
and the scale reads the weight of the object.
Akash forgets the known weights at his home one day and 4 different traders - Tilak, Girish, Kiran, and Lalith
approach him to sell some gold coins the same day. All these traders are corrupt and mix exactly one coin that
is not made up of gold in the lot they try to sell. The weight of the coin added can be greater than or less than
that of a standard gold coin.
Akash always finds out the fake coin in the least number of weighings possible.
Question 88
Akash knows that the fake coin that Tilak has added weighs less than the standard gold coin. Akash realises
that the number of coins with Tilak is such that the minimum number of weighing required to find the fake coin
using spring balance is 4. The number of coins with Tilak cannot exceed
A 8
B 12
C 6
D 14
Question 89
Akash knows that the coin that Girish added weighs less than the standard coin. Akash decides to use the
spring balance. If Girish has 13 coins with him, then the minimum number of weighings needed to determine
the fake coin is
B 4
C 6
D 2
Question 90
Suppose Kiran brings 'n' gold coins such that n > 3.
Akash knows that the fake coin that Kiran has added weighs more than the standard gold coin. Akash uses the
beam balance to weigh the coins. If Akash can definitely find out the fake coin in 2 weighings, then the sum of
all the possible values of 'n' is
A 39
B 41
C 43
D 32
Question 91
Lalith has 15 coins with him. Akash knows that the fake gold coins weigh more than the standard gold coin.
Which balance should Akash use, and what is the least number of weighing in which Akash can determine the
fake coin?
A Beam balance,3
B Spring balance,4
C Beam balance,4
D Spring balance,3

A new airlines company is planning to start operations in a country. The company has identified ten different
cities which they plan to connect through their network to start with. The flight duration between any pair of
cities will be less than one hour. To start operations, the company has to decide on a daily schedule.
The underlying principle that they are working on is the following:
Any person staying in any of these 10 cities should be able to make a trip to any other city in the morning and
should be able to return by the evening of the same day.
Question 100
If the underlying principle is to be satisfied in such a way that the journey between any two cities can be
performed using only direct (non-stop) flights, then the minimum number of direct flights to be scheduled is:
B 90
C 180
D 135
VIDEO SOLUTION
Question 101
Suppose three of the ten cities are to be developed as hubs. A hub is a city which is connected with every other
city by direct flights each way, both in the morning as well as in the evening. The only direct flights which will be
scheduled are originating and/or terminating in one of the hubs. Then the minimum number of direct flights that
need to be scheduled so that the underlying principle of the airline to serve all the ten cities is met without
visiting more than one hub during one trip is:
A 54
B 120
C 96
D 60
VIDEO SOLUTION
Question 102
VIDEO SOLUTION
Question 103
Suppose the 10 cities are divided into 4 distinct groups Gl, G2, G3, G4 having 3, 3, 2 and 2 cities respectively and
that Gl consists of cities named A, B and C. Further, suppose that direct flights are allowed only between two
cities satisfying one of the following:
1. Both cities are in G1
2. Between A and any city in G2
3. Between B and any city in G3
4. Between C and any city in G4
However, due to operational difficulties at A, it was later decided that the only flights that would operate at A
would be those to and from B. Cities in G2 would have to be assigned to G3 or to G4.
What would be the maximum reduction in the number of direct flights as compared to the situation before the
operational difficulties arose?
VIDEO SOLUTION
Explanations
1. B
Total people = 30
Let the number of males = x and the number of females = 30-x
Sheru's max number of tweets can be x-1 and the remaining x-1 males tweets range from 0 to x-2.
Similarly Sherni's max number of tweets can be 29-x and the remaining females tweets range from 0 to 28-x.
Given that difference of tweets of Sheru and Sherni is equal to total number of females who attended the
concert.
=> (x-1)-(29-x) = 30-x
=> 3x = 60 => x = 20 => 20 males and 10 females.
Total number of tweets by 20 males = 19 + 18 ...1(as each male tweeted different number of times) =
$$\frac{(19)(20)}{2} = 190
Total number of tweets by 10 females = 9 + 8 + 7 + ...1 = 45
=> Total number of tweets = 235
2. A
Since it is mentiones that Sherni is not the only female, there must be at least one more female.
=> Number of females = 2 and Sherni has tweeted once.
Number of tweets by Sheru = 2 + 1 = 3
=>Total number of males = 4
=> Total number of people = 4 + 2 = 6
3. C
No person tweeted exactly 300 times => Max number of tweets Sheru tweeted = 299 (Because if Sheru tweeted
301 times, then there are 301 males and 301 tweets by Sheru. But it is given that number of Sheru tweets is
less than the number of males attended the concert)
=> Total number of males = 300
Now let number of females = x
number of tweets by Sherni = x-1
=> 299 - (x-1) = x => 2x = 300 => x = 150
Therefore number of females = 150
=> Total number of people = 450
4. C
All the given conditions satisfy only when the number of males that have attended the concert is twice the
number of females that have attended the concert.
Let's take the number of males and females as 2x and x respectively => number of tweets by Sheru and Sherni =
2x-1 and x-1 => sum = 3x-2
=> 2x C2 + x C2 = 970
According to the options 3x-2 is equal to one among 48, 53, 58 or 63 => x = 20 is the only possible value and
also x=20 satisfies the previous equation.
Therefore the sum of total tweets by Sheru and Sherni is (3 ∗ 20) − 2 = 58
Alternative Solution
We know that total number of people=3m
Now we know that out of these
2m will be men and m will be women
and number of tweets will be :
5m2 − 3m − 1940 =0
5m2 − 100m + 97m − 1940 = 0
m =20
So total tweets by sheru and sherni
39+19=58

After reading all the instructions, we get to see that there are three parameters, i.e. speed, distance and
mileage.
Since the time taken by each of them to reach the airport is the same, the distance is proportional to speed.
Numbers 1 to 5 are used to rank each of the five friends in different parameters, 1 being the minimum and 5
being the Maximum.
From statement 3, Rank of Ananya in Speed or distance is 1
From statement 4, Rank of Charita in speed or distance is 4 and 1 in mileage.
From statement 1: The rank of Deepthi in Speed or distance is 3.
From statement 6: The number of persons whose car gives less mileage than Bharthi’s car is 2.
The rank of Bharthi in mileage is 3.
From statement 2, the person who gets rank 5 in speed or distance will get rank 2 in mileage.
So from 5, we can say that the rank of Ananya and Deepthi in mileage is 5 and 4 respectively,
We are left with only Eesha who can rank at position 2 in mileage. So she will be 5 in the distance.
We get the below table.

Under each newspaper in the graph there are lines and these lines indicate the direction in which the graph has
to be read.
Let's take Indian Express. A and B are on the 25% line and C is on 50% line. This means that the circulation of
Indian Express is 25% in City A, 25% in City B and 50% in City C.
In a similar fashion we can calculate the percentage circulation of each newspaper in each city.
City A: 50% Hindu + 25% Times of India + 25% Indian Express = 500+375+450 = 1325
City B: 50% Times of India + 25% Hindu + 25% Indian Express = 750+250+450 = 1450
City C: 50% Indian Express + 25% Hindu + 25% Times of India = 900+250+375 = 1525
The maximum percentage increase is seen when the paper with highest production doubles its production.
Indian Express doubles its production:
City A: 50% Hindu + 25% Times of India + 25% Indian Express = 500+375+900 = 1775 = 34%
City B: 50% Times of India + 25% Hindu + 25% Indian Express = 750+250+900 = 1900 = 31%
City C: 50% Indian Express + 25% Hindu + 25% Times of India = 1800+250+375 = 2425 = 59%

Let us assume that the company produced 2000 products in a day. This lot will contain 25% defective products.
Therefore, we can say that there are 500 defective products.
The conveyer belt identifies 85% of the products correctly. Hence, the number of defective products identified
by the conveyer belt = 0.85*500 = 425.
So a total of 75 defective products will still remain in the lot.
The conveyer belt identifies 15% of non-defective products into the defective category. Hence, the number of
non-defective products identified by the conveyer belt as defective = 0.15*1500 = 225.
Now in the final lot there will be 1500 - 225 = 1275 non-defective products and 75 defective products.
Hence, we can say that in a lot of 1350, 75 products are defective.
Let ‘x’ be the cost price of each product. We know that in a lot of 1350 products, 75 products are defective.
Selling price of the non-defective product = 1.24x
Selling price of a defective product = (1-0.4)x = 0.6x
Hence, total revenue generated by selling 1350 products = 1.24x*1275 + 0.6x*75 = 1626x
The conveyor belt costs 1% of the cost price for each product.
Hence, total cost incurred = 1.01*1350x = 1363.50x
1626x − 1363.50x
Therefore, the profit percentage = × 100 = 19.25%
1363.50
In the second case, we saw that 75 products out of 1350 products have defects.
1275 ∗ 2480 + 75 ∗ 1200 − 1350 ∗ 2000 4
Hence, net profitability = × 100 = 20 %
1350 ∗ 2000 9
100 100
m > 803.5. Hence, the store needs to sell at least 804 products to be more profitable.
16. 50000
25% of the products produced are defective.
The belt identifies 85% of these 25% of products.
Therefore, the belt will identify 0.85*0.25 = 21.25% of the total products as defective (these products are
actually defective).
0.15*0.75 = 11.25% of the total number of products will be labelled defective though they are not.
Total number of products that will be allowed to pass = 100-21.25-11.25 = 67.5% of the total products
produced.
67.5% of the total products = 33750
=> Total number of products produced = 33750/0.675 = 50000.
Therefore, 50000 is the right answer.

From the condition given in the premise, we can make the following table:
T: Total after the sixth round and TT: Total after the 10th round.
1. Only two players scored in three consecutive rounds. One of them was Chen. So He scored 1 point in the
rounds 8th, 9th and 10th.
2. Ikea scored 15 points (1,7,7) in three rounds respectively.
3. Eric scored 7 in round 10.
4. Amita will score 3 in round 10, and 7 in round 7.
We can make the following table:
34. 8
P+Q+R = 17
R+S+T = 17
T+U+V = 17
V+W+X = 17
If we add all of them up, P+Q+R+S+T+U+V+W+X+(R+T+V) = 68
But P+Q+R+S+T+U+V+W+X = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45
So, R+T+V = 23
As, R, T and V are distinct natural numbers less than 10, they have to be 6,8 and 9 in some order.
R+S+T = 17. So, R and T can't be 8 and 9 simultaneously. Hence, one of them has to be 6
Similarly, T+U+V = 17. So, T and V can't be 8 and 9 simultaneously. Hence, one of them has to be 6
This would imply that T = 6. R and V can be either of 8 and 9. Based on their respective value, we can get S and
U to equal 3 and 2.
Case 1
Case 2
The remaining natural numbers are 1,4,5 and 7. Based on the value of R and V, we should divide them into pairs
such that they add up to 9 and 8 respectively. The two pairs are therefore 1,7 and 4,5
Case 1
In each case, we can distribute P,Q in two ways and W,X in two ways. So, the total number of arrangements
possible is 2*2*2 = 8

1 ice cream takes 2 minutes and 3 portions of fries take 5 min by the machine (operator is not required).
The employees are allowed to process multiple orders at a time, but the preference would be to finish orders of
clients who placed their orders earlier.
The first order is 1 burger, 1 ice cream and 3 portions of fries.
Anish can start working on the burger and Bani can start working on the ice cream.
The burger will be done at 10:10, ice - cream at 10:02 and fries at 10:05.
The second order is placed at 10:05. (ice cream and fries)
Bani can work on the ice cream from 10:05 and also put the fries.
Only Bani will be free from 10:02 to 10:05 - 3 minutes.
The ice cream will be done by 10:07 but the fries will be done by 10:10.
Third order of 1 burger and 1 fries is placed at 10:07.
Bani will immediately start working on the burger. He will finish it by 10:17.
Anish would have finished the first burger at 10:10. Only he is free till 10:17 - 7 minutes.
Thus exactly one person is free for 10 minutes.

We can make the following table from "the total amount of money kept in the three pouches in the first column
of the third row is Rs. 4."
If the minimum and maximum value are 1, then the sum of the three pouches in the middle will be Rs 3.
If we calculate the maximum and minimum value possible for each slot in column 1. For the slot, column 1 and
row 1, the maximum value possible is 10{2,4,4} while the minimum value possible is 8{2,2,4}.
Similarly, for the slot, column 1 and row 2, the maximum value possible is 13{3,5,5} while the minimum value
possible is 11{3,3,5}.
It is known that the average amount of money (in rupees) kept in the nine pouches in any column or in any row
is an integer. Thus the sum of coins in a row or column must be a multiple of 9.
So, we can iterate that 10,13,4 ...{27} is the only sum possible for the slots of column 1.
We now know two elements of row 2, thus we can iterate from the maximum and the minimum value possible
for the slot {cloumn 3, row 2} that 38 is the only value possible for the slot.

Since, the Fitness Index of A to K is calculated as follows,
Fitness Index = 0.4 x Speed + 0.3 x Strength + 0.3 x Agility, we get the fitness index of A = 0.4 x 78 + 0.3 x 89 +
0.3 x 90 = 84.9
Similarly calculating the fitness index of all the players from A to K,
P is ranked 13th.

c, 25, m and i are in AP with odd common difference. Hence the common difference can not be 1, since 26 is
already in the table. It cannot be 5 because c will become 20. It can only be 3.
Case 1: c,25,m,i are 28,25,22,19 which is not possible as i=19.
Case 2: c,25,m,i = 22,25,28,31 which is possible.
Now, m = 31, then k+l+31+n=160 =>k+l+n=129 which is only possible, if we take k,l,n as 41,43 and 45. (From 3)
Now, from 6, k = 45 and from 3, l=43 and n=41.
Now, the multiples of 5 are 25,30,35,40 and 45. Since 25 and 45 are already taken, a,e and h will be 30,35 and
40.
Also, in the marks in English are all prime numbers, possible values = 23,29,31,37,41,43.
Since 31,41 and 43 are already taken, the values of d,g and j will be 23,29 and 37.
Also, the values b+f = 114-(26+43) = 45, the only possible values of b and f will be 21 and 24, since 23 and 22
are already taken.

Now, the multiples of 5 are 25,30,35,40 and 45. Since 25 and 45 are already taken, a,e and h will be 30,35 and
40.
Also, in the marks in English are all prime numbers, possible values = 23,29,31,37,41,43.
Since 31,41 and 43 are already taken, the values of d,g and j will be 23,29 and 37.
Also, the values b+f = 114-(26+43) = 45, the only possible values of b and f will be 21 and 24, since 23 and 22
are already taken.
Hence the new table is:
The difference of total marks obtained by Aman, Bala and Chandu in Maths to the total marks obtained by them
in Physics = |(30+35+40)-(21+24+26)|= 34

c, 25, m and i are in AP with odd common difference. Hence the common difference can not be 1, since 26 is
already in the table. It cannot be 5 because c will become 20. It can only be 3.
Case 1: c,25,m,i are 28,25,22,19 which is not possible as i=19.
Case 2: c,25,m,i = 22,25,28,31 which is possible.
Now, m = 31, then k+l+31+n=160 =>k+l+n=129 which is only possible, if we take k,l,n as 41,43 and 45. (From 3)
Now, from 6, k = 45 and from 3, l=43 and n=41.
Now, the multiples of 5 are 25,30,35,40 and 45. Since 25 and 45 are already taken, a,e and h will be 30,35 and
40.
Also, in the marks in English are all prime numbers, possible values = 23,29,31,37,41,43.
Since 31,41 and 43 are already taken, the values of d,g and j will be 23,29 and 37.
Also, the values b+f = 114-(26+43) = 45, the only possible values of b and f will be 21 and 24, since 23 and 22
are already taken.
Hence the new table is:
The sum of total marks obtained by all four of the students in English = 23+37+29+41 = 130

Hence the new table is:
Overall percentage = (Minimum possible Marks of Chandan in all the subjects)*100/(Sum of Maximum marks
of all subjects)
= (35+26+28+29)*100/(50+50+50+50) = 118*100/200 = 59

I + 2II + 3III + 4IV = 61 + 131 + 707 + x = 899 + x
Since, II = III = 0
I + 4IV = 899 + x
Also,
I + IV = 897
Therefore, 3IV = 2 + x
Hence, x should be of the form of 3n - 2. Hence 23 and 120 can not be the right choice.
Let us assume that x = 184,
IV = 186/3=62
But there are only 61 people with a private jet, so this can't the answer.
Let us assume that x = 64.
IV = 66/2 = 33, which is possible. Hence this is the correct option.
75. 6087
For the highest possible value, the individual values must be equal to their maximum possible values.
x = 897 [number of people in the city]
y = 986 [number of people in the city]
z = 1034 [number of people in the city]
p = q = 564 [number of people in the city]
r = s = 1067 [number of people in the city]
x + y + z + p + q + r + s = 6179.
For the lowest possible value, the individual values must be equal to their minimum possible values.
x = 1 [total number of vehicles already exceeds the total number of people]
y = 1 [total number of vehicles already exceeds the total number of people]

Bike owners in Chennai = 2816 - 707 - 971 - 432 - 342 = 364.
To own at least 3 vehicles, one can own either 3 or 4 vehicles.
I + II + III + IV = 1034
I + 2 II + 3 III + 4 IV = 1987
The difference has to be adjusted among people owning 2, 3 and 4 vehicles. To maximise the sum of people
owning 3 and 4 vehicles, we will try to allocate the maximum possible to 3 and the remaining to 4.
1987 - 1034 = 953
2III + 3IV = 953.
III = 475
IV = 1
But, if we observe the values for Chennai, the number of people having a bike is 364 and the number of people
having a private jet is 24. Hence, even if we consider that people who own a bike also own a 4-wheeler and a
scooter(but not a private jet) and people who own a private jet also own a 4-wheeler and a scooter(but not a
bike), we won't be able to reach the above numbers. We would be able to achieve a maximum value of 24 + 364
= 388.
Let us verify if we can represent the above condition in a 4-set Venn Diagram.
Now, we need to arrange the remaining people who own a 4-wheeler and those who own a scooter.
Thus, in Hyderabad, the excess value is 152. We will try to allot maximum to IV, and automatically we will get
the maximum I value.
152 = 3 x 50 + 2 x 1
Hence, 50 people own 4 vehicles and 1 person owns 3 vehicles.
Number of people left with 1 vehicle = 897 - 51 = 846
In Bengaluru, the excess value is 429.
But a maximum of 57 people can own all 4 vehicles. We will try to allocate the rest among III.
429 = 3 X 57 + 2 X 129
But 129 people cannot own 3 vehicles, because people owning a scooter is 150, and 57 + 129 exceeds this
value.
Hence, the maximum number of people who can own 3 vehicles = 150 - 57 = 93.
Hence we are left with... 429 - 3 x 57 - 2 x 93 = 72
Hence, 57 people own 4 vehicles and 93 people own 3 vehicles, 72 people own 2 vehicles.
Number of people left with 1 vehicle = 986 - 57 - 93 - 72 = 764.
Hence, difference = (846 + 764) - (50 + 57)
1503 is the right answer.
80. B
The cost and selling prices are Rs. 4000, Rs. 5000, Rs. 6000, Rs. 6500 and Rs. 7500.
It has been given that 3 mobiles were sold at a profit. Clearly, the mobile costing Rs. 7500 could not have been
sold at a profit.
Also, it has been given that the profit percentage obtained by selling 2 of the 3 mobiles is the same.
We can observe that there are 2 such combinations of cost and selling prices possible.
1. (4000,5000) and (6000, 7500) - Profit percentage of 25%.
2. (4000,6000) and (5000,7500) - Profit percentage of 50%.
It has been given in the question that the none of the mobiles has been sold for a profit greater than 40%.
Therefore, we can eliminate the second possibility.
The combination of prices must have been (4000,5000) and (6000,7500) for 2 of the 3 mobiles sold at a profit.
Also, it has been given that the profit obtained by selling 2 mobiles is the same.
So, the profit obtained by selling the other mobile sold at profit must be either Rs.1000 or Rs.1500.
The possible combination for Rs. 1000 is only (5000,6000).
The possible combination for Rs. 1500 is only (5000, 6500).
Therefore, the cost price of the third mobile sold at a profit must definitely be Rs.5000
The selling price of mobile G is same as the cost price of mobile A. Therefore, the cost price of mobile A must
have been Rs. 6000. We know that the selling price of the mobile which costs Rs. 6000 is Rs. 7500.
The cost price of mobile I is equal to the selling price of mobile K. The cost price of mobile K is equal to the
selling price of mobile S. Therefore, the cost price of mobile S must be equal to the selling price of mobile I.
(5000, 6500) and (4000,5000) are 2 remaining combinations. Therefore, the last price combination must be
(6500, 4000). Neither the cost price nor the selling price of mobile S is Rs.4000.
Therefore, mobile S must cost Rs.5000, mobile K must cost Rs. 6500 and mobile I must cost Rs.4000.
The prices of the mobiles are as follows:
Profit realised by selling mobile S = Rs. 6500 - Rs. 5000 = Rs. 1500. Therefore, option B is the right answer.

The cost and selling prices are Rs. 4000, Rs. 5000, Rs. 6000, Rs. 6500 and Rs. 7500.
It has been given that 3 mobiles were sold at a profit. Clearly, the mobile costing Rs. 7500 could not have been

It has been given in the question that the none of the mobiles has been sold for a profit greater than 40%.
Therefore, we can eliminate the second possibility.
The combination of prices must have been (4000,5000) and (6000,7500) for 2 of the 3 mobiles sold at a profit.
Also, it has been given that the profit obtained by selling 2 mobiles is the same.
So, the profit obtained by selling the other mobile sold at profit must be either Rs.1000 or Rs.1500.
The possible combination for Rs. 1000 is only (5000,6000).
The possible combination for Rs. 1500 is only (5000, 6500).
Therefore, the cost price of the third mobile sold at a profit must definitely be Rs.5000
The selling price of mobile G is same as the cost price of mobile A. Therefore, the cost price of mobile A must
have been Rs. 6000. We know that the selling price of the mobile which costs Rs. 6000 is Rs. 7500.
The cost price of mobile I is equal to the selling price of mobile K. The cost price of mobile K is equal to the
selling price of mobile S. Therefore, the cost price of mobile S must be equal to the selling price of mobile I.
(5000, 6500) and (4000,5000) are 2 remaining combinations. Therefore, the last price combination must be
(6500, 4000). Neither the cost price nor the selling price of mobile S is Rs.4000.
Therefore, mobile S must cost Rs.5000, mobile K must cost Rs. 6500 and mobile I must cost Rs.4000.
The prices of the mobiles are as follows:
As we can see, the 2 mobiles that were sold for the same profit percentage are I and A (25%). Therefore, option
D is the right answer.
82. A
The cost and selling prices are Rs. 4000, Rs. 5000, Rs. 6000, Rs. 6500 and Rs. 7500.
It has been given that 3 mobiles were sold at a profit. Clearly, the mobile costing Rs. 7500 could not have been

2. (4000,6000) and (5000,7500) - Profit percentage of 50%.
It has been given in the question that the none of the mobiles has been sold for a profit greater than 40%.
Therefore, we can eliminate the second possibility.
The combination of prices must have been (4000,5000) and (6000,7500) for 2 of the 3 mobiles sold at a profit.
Also, it has been given that the profit obtained by selling 2 mobiles is the same.
So, the profit obtained by selling the other mobile sold at profit must be either Rs.1000 or Rs.1500.
The possible combination for Rs. 1000 is only (5000,6000).
The possible combination for Rs. 1500 is only (5000, 6500).
Therefore, the cost price of the third mobile sold at a profit must definitely be Rs.5000
It has been given that mobile G was sold for a loss of 20%.
Had the cost price of mobile G been Rs.5000, then the selling price must gave been Rs.4000. However, in this
case, the profit obtained by 2 mobiles cannot be the same since the cost price of mobile G must be Rs. 5000.
The selling price of mobile G is same as the cost price of mobile A. Therefore, the cost price of mobile A must
have been Rs. 6000. We know that the selling price of the mobile which costs Rs. 6000 is Rs. 7500.
The cost price of mobile I is equal to the selling price of mobile K. The cost price of mobile K is equal to the
selling price of mobile S. Therefore, the cost price of mobile S must be equal to the selling price of mobile I.
(5000, 6500) and (4000,5000) are 2 remaining combinations. Therefore, the last price combination must be
(6500, 4000). Neither the cost price nor the selling price of mobile S is Rs.4000.
Therefore, mobile S must cost Rs.5000, mobile K must cost Rs. 6500 and mobile I must cost Rs.4000.
The prices of the mobiles are as follows:
As we can see, the cost price of mobile K is Rs.6500. Therefore, option A is the right answer.
83. C
The cost and selling prices are Rs. 4000, Rs. 5000, Rs. 6000, Rs. 6500 and Rs. 7500.
It has been given that 3 mobiles were sold at a profit. Clearly, the mobile costing Rs. 7500 could not have been
sold at a profit.
Also, it has been given that the profit percentage obtained by selling 2 of the 3 mobiles is the same.
We can observe that there are 2 such combinations of cost and selling prices possible.
1. (4000,5000) and (6000, 7500) - Profit percentage of 25%.
2. (4000,6000) and (5000,7500) - Profit percentage of 50%.
It has been given in the question that the none of the mobiles has been sold for a profit greater than 40%.
Therefore, we can eliminate the second possibility.
The combination of prices must have been (4000,5000) and (6000,7500) for 2 of the 3 mobiles sold at a profit.
Also, it has been given that the profit obtained by selling 2 mobiles is the same.
So, the profit obtained by selling the other mobile sold at profit must be either Rs.1000 or Rs.1500.
The possible combination for Rs. 1000 is only (5000,6000).
The possible combination for Rs. 1500 is only (5000, 6500).
Therefore, the cost price of the third mobile sold at a profit must definitely be Rs.5000
It has been given that mobile G was sold for a loss of 20%.
Had the cost price of mobile G been Rs.5000, then the selling price must gave been Rs.4000. However, in this
case, the profit obtained by 2 mobiles cannot be the same since the cost price of mobile G must be Rs. 5000.
Therefore, we can eliminate this possibility.
The cost of mobile G can be either Rs. 6500 or Rs.7500.
Had the cost been Rs. 6500, the selling price would have been 0.8*6500 = Rs.5200. 5200 is not one of the 5
values given. Therefore, we can eliminate this possibility too. The cost price of mobile G must have been Rs.
The selling price of mobile G is same as the cost price of mobile A. Therefore, the cost price of mobile A must
have been Rs. 6000. We know that the selling price of the mobile which costs Rs. 6000 is Rs. 7500.
The cost price of mobile I is equal to the selling price of mobile K. The cost price of mobile K is equal to the
selling price of mobile S. Therefore, the cost price of mobile S must be equal to the selling price of mobile I.
(5000, 6500) and (4000,5000) are 2 remaining combinations. Therefore, the last price combination must be
(6500, 4000). Neither the cost price nor the selling price of mobile S is Rs.4000.
Therefore, mobile S must cost Rs.5000, mobile K must cost Rs. 6500 and mobile I must cost Rs.4000.
The prices of the mobiles are as follows:
By selling A, the shopkeeper obtains a profit of Rs. 7500 - Rs. 6000 = Rs.1500. Therefore, option C is the right
answer.

Let '100x', '100y ' and '100z ' be the marks scored in DashCAT 1, DashCAT 2 and DashCAT 3 by all students put
together.
25
Then total marks scored by Abhishek in DashCAT 1 = × 100x = 25x
100
We are given that the marks scored in the VRC section as a percentage of total marks scored by Abhishek in
DashCAT 1 = 30
30
Hence, marks scored by Abhishek in the VRC section in DashCAT 1 = × 25x = 7.5x
100
25
Similarly, marks scored by Abhishek in the DILR section in DashCAT 1 = × 25x = 6.25x
100
We know that total marks scored by a student in any DashCAT = 1.5*Marks scored in VRC section + 1* Marks
scored in DILR section + 0.5* Marks scored in QA section. Hence for Abhishek in DashCAT 1,
⇒ 25x = 1.5 ∗ 7.5x + 6.25x + 0.5*Marks scored in QA section
⇒ Marks scored by Abhishek in the DILR section in DashCAT 1 = 2 ∗ [25x − 17.5x] = 15x
Similarly we can calculate marks scored by each student in each section in terms of x, y and z . Tabulating the
same data,
⇒ 7.5x : 6y : 0.9z ≡ 15 : 40 : 12
⇒ x : y : z ≡ 15/7.5 : 40/6 : 12/0.9 ≡ 3 : 10 : 20.
Therefore, the ratio of marks scored by Diwakar in the QA section of these DashCATs = 8x : 6y : 20z ≡ 24 : 60 :
400 ≡ 6 : 15 : 100.
Hence, option A is the correct answer.

Hence, marks scored by Abhishek in the VRC section in DashCAT 1 = × 25x = 7.5x
100
25
Similarly, marks scored by Abhishek in the DILR section in DashCAT 1 = × 25x = 6.25x
100
We know that total marks scored by a student in any DashCAT = 1.5*Marks scored in VRC section + 1* Marks
scored in DILR section + 0.5* Marks scored in QA section. Hence for Abhishek in DashCAT 1,
⇒ 25x = 1.5 ∗ 7.5x + 6.25x + 0.5*Marks scored in QA section
⇒ Marks scored by Abhishek in the Quant section in DashCAT 1 = 2 ∗ [25x − 17.5x] = 15x
Similarly we can calculate marks scored by each student in each section in terms of x, y and z . Tabulating the
same data,
We are given that the marks scored by Chandu in the VRC section of DashCAT 1 is same as marks scored by
Farhaan in the DILR section in DashCAT 3.
i. e. 3x = 3.15z
x 3.15 21
⇒ = =
3 20
z
Hence, the ratio of total marks scored in DashCAT 1 to that DashCAT 3 by all students put together = 100x :
100z ≡ = 21 : 20.
Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
86. C
Let '100x', '100y ' and '100z ' be the marks scored in DashCAT 1, DashCAT 2 and DashCAT 3 by all students put

This is usually solved by drawing a table with Names on the Vertical axis and Subjects and Day on the
Horizontal axis .
From hint four we know that Arun is the only person on Thursday and since it was provided that each day has a
maximum of 2 classes this leaves us with 2 classes each on Friday , Saturday and Sunday .
Given that in hint six physics and English classes are held on the same day and since from hint one psychology
is on Saturday and from hint two the person studying English doesn't go on Sunday this leaves us with Friday
for English and Physics .
Given that in hint seven Biology is held on Saturday and Esha has class on Saturday from hint one hence Esha
studies biology on Saturday .
Given that in hint four Gita has a class on Friday this leaves us with two Saturdays and one Sunday to be placed
and since given that in hint two person studying English doesn't go with Dhanush and Feroz we are left with
Bharti , Dhanush and Feroz for Saturday and and Two Sundays .Since Feroz and Bharati do not have Psychology
and Psychology is taught on Saturday Bharati ends on Sunday .
From hint four Gita doesn't study English she studies Physics and hence Chandu studies English .
The only left Saturday is used by Dhanush .
Since Bharati do not study chemistry from hint eight this leaves us with Feroz studies Chemistry and Bharati
studies Maths .
The arrangement of classes is as follows:
