Study the passages below and answer the questions that follow each Passage.
Passage I:
The composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s remarkable musical talent was apparent even before most children can sing a simple nursery
rhyme. Wolfgang’s older sister Maria Anna (who the family called Nannerl) was learning the clavier, an early keyboard instrument, when her
three-year-old brother took an interest in playing. As Nannerl later recalled, Wolfgang “often spent much time at the clavier picking out thirds
, which he was always striking, and his pleasure showed that it sounded good.” Their father Leopold, an assistant concertmaster at the
Salzburg Court, recognized his children’s unique gifts and soon devoted himself to their musical education.
Born in Salzburg, Austria, on January 27, 1756, Wolfgang had composed his first original work by age five. Leopold planned to take Nannerl
and Wolfgang on tour to play before the European courts. Their first venture was to nearby Munich where the children played for Maximillian
III Joseph, elector of Bavaria. Leopold soon set his sights on the capital of the Hapsburg Empire, Vienna. On their way to Vienna, the family
stopped in Linz, where Wolfgang gave his first public concert. By this time, Wolfgang was not only a skilled harpsichord player, but he had
also mastered the violin. The audience at Linz was amazed by the six-year-old, and word of his genius soon traveled to Vienna. In a much
attended concert, the Mozart children appeared at the Schonbrunn Palace on October 13, 1762. They completely attracted the emperor and
empress.
Following this success, Leopold received a lot of invitations for the children to play, for a fee. Leopold seized the opportunity and booked as
many concerts as possible at courts throughout Europe. A concert could last three hours, and the children played at least two per a day.
Today, Leopold might be considered the worst kind of stage parent, but at the time, it was not uncommon for prodigies to make extensive
concert tours. Even so, it was an exhausting schedule for a child who was just past the age of needing an afternoon nap.

Passage II:
Saving energy means saving money. Homeowners and renters Know this basic fact, but they often don’t know what kinds of adjustments
they can make in their homes and apartments that will result in savings. For those willing to spend some time and money, to reap long-term
energy savings, an energy audit is the way to go. An energy auditor will come.into your home and assess its energy efficiency. The auditor
will pinpoint areas of your home that use the most energy and offer solutions to lower your energy use and costs.Trained energy auditors
know what to look for and can locate a variety of flaws that maybe resulting in energy inefficiency, including inadequate insulation,
construction flaws, and uneven heat distribution. There are(quicker and less costly measures that can be taken as well. One way to save
money is to replace incandescent lights with fluorescents. This can result in a savings of more than 50% on your monthly lighting costs.
When it’s time to replace old appliances, it’s wise to spend a bit more for an energy-efficient model, and be sure that you are taking
advantage of energy-saving settings already on your current refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer. Windows provide another
opportunity to cut your energy costs. Caulk old windows that might be leaky to prevent drafts, and choose double - paned windows if you’re
building an addition or replacing old windows. Most.areas-of your home or apartment offer opportunities to save energy and money. The
results are significant and are well worth the effort.

41. Seven hundred twenty sweets were distributed equally amongst children, in such a way that number of sweets received by each child
is 20% of the total numberof children. How many sweets did each child receive?
A 12
B 14
C 11
D 15
Answer: A
Explanation:
Total number of sweets distributed = 720
Let total children = 100x
Number of sweets received by each child = 20% of 100x = 20x
Total number of sweets = 100x * 20x = 720
x2 = 0.36
x = 0.6
Total number of sweets did each child receive = 20x = 12
42. 15% of the people eligible to vote are between 18 and 25 years of age. In an election, 75% of those eligible to vote, who are between
18 and 25, actually voted. In that election, the number of persons between 18 and 25, who actually voted was what percent of those
eligible to vote?
A 12.50%
B 10.75%
C 11.25%
D 10.25%
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let eligible voters = 100x
Eligible voters between 18 and 25 years of age = 15% of 100x = 15x
Eligible voters between 18 and 25 years of age who actually voted = 75% of 15x = 11.25x
11.25x
Required percent = 100x ∗ 100 = 11.25%
43. What is the sum of the total surface areas of all the cubes formed when a cuboid of size 5.2m × 13m × 39m is cut completely into
the least possible number of cubes, all of which arg identical?

A 6164 sq m
B 30452 sq m
C 6084 sq m
D 6760 sq m
Answer: C
Explanation:
LCM of sides of cuboid = 2.6
So, side of each cube = 2.6 m
5.2∗13∗39
Least number of cubes formed = 2.6∗2.6∗2.6 = 150
Total surface area of each = 6 ∗ 2.62 = 40.56m2
Sum of total surface area of all the cubes = 150 * 40.56 = 6084 m2

45. Three men, four women and six children can complete a work in seven days. A woman docs double the work a man does and a-child
does half the work a man does. How many women alone can complete the work in 7 days?
A 7
B 8
C 12
D None of these
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the question:
Total work = (3M + 4W + 6C) * 7
Now,
A woman does double the work a man does, So, the ratio of efficiency of a man to that of a woman = 1: 2
M: W = 1: 2
2M = W .......... (1)
A child does half the work a man does. So, the ratio of efficiency of a man to that of child = 2: 1
M: C = 2: 1
M = 2C ....... (2)
From (1) and (2):
4C = W ....... (3)

Let the required number of women = 'x'
Now,
(3M + 4W + 6C) * 7 = (xW) * 7
From (1) and (3):
1.5W + 4W + 1.5W = xW
7W = xW
x=7
46. A can do a piece of work in 36 days, B in 54 days and C in 72 days. All the three began the work together but A and B left 8 days and
12 days before the completion of the work respectively. How many days in all did C put in till the entire work was finished?
A 24 days
B 29 days
C 20 days
D 32 days
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let total time taken to complete the work = 'x' days
C work for 'x' days.
A left 8 days before the completion of the work. So, A works for 'x - 8' days
B left 12 days before the completion of the work. So, B works for 'x - 12' days
Now,
x−8 x−12 x
36 + 54 + 72 =1
6(x−8)+4(x−12)+3x
216 =1
6x - 48 + 4x - 48 + 3x = 216
x = 24
Hence, C works for total 24 days.
47. In a group of 5 boys the 2 nd boy is twice as efficient as the 1 st boy. The 3 rd boy is twice as efficient as the 2 nd boy and so on. All of
them working together will take 5 days to complete a job. How much extra time will the 2 nd and 4 th boys take working together as
compared to the 5 th boy working alone to complete the same job approximately
A 3 days
B 6 days
C 8 days
D 10 days
Answer: B
Explanation:
Ratio of efficiency of 1 st boy to 2 nd boy = 1: 2
Ratio of efficiency of 2 nd boy to 3 rd boy = 1: 2

And so on...
So ratio of efficiency of 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th tboy = 1: 2: 4: 8: 16

Let unit of work done by 1 st , 2 nd , 3 rd , 4 th and 5 th boy is 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 respectively.
Since, job is completed by all the five boys together in 5 days. Hence,total work = 5 * (1 + 2 + 4 + 8 + 16) = 155
155
Time taken by 2 nd and 4 th boys together to do the work = 2+8 = 15.5 days
155
Time taken by 5 th boy alone to do the work = 16 days
155 93
155 93
Required diffrence = 15.5 - 16 = 16 = 5.8125 days = 6 days (Approx)
48. How many hours will atul ,Shiva, sapan take to finish their assignment together if atul alone can do it in six hours more , shiv alone do
it in one hour more ,and sapan alone in twice the time?
A 5 hours
1
B 3 hours
4
C 5 hours
2
D 3 hours
Answer: D
Explanation:
Let time taken by Atul, Shiva and Sapan together to finish the work = 'x' hours
Time taken by Atul alone to finish the work = (x + 6) years
Time taken by Shiva alone to finish the work = (x + 1) years
Time taken by Sapan alone to finish the work = 2x years
Now,
1 1 1 1
x+6 + x+1 + 2x = x

12 1
So, part of tank emptied by pipe C in 12 hours = 60 = 5
1 th 1
Now, this 5 part of the tank will be filled by pipes A and B together in 5 ∗ 12 = 2.4 hours
50. A large water tank gets filled from two pipes T1 and T2 . T1 alone can fill it in 50 minutes, while T2 alone can fill it in one hour. If on

61
A 50 + 2 minutes
B 110 minutes
1 1 1
C 2 [ 50 + 60 ] minutes
150
D 11 + 25 minutes
Answer: D
Explanation:
1 300
1 1
Time taken by T1 andT2 together to fill the tank = 50 + 60 11 minutes
300 150
300 150
Time taken by T1 andT2 together to fill half the tank = 2∗11 = 11 minutes
50
Time takne by T1 alone to fill half the tank = 2 = 25 minutes
150
Total time taken to fill the tank completely = 25 + 11 minutes
51. A tap takes 8 seconds to fill a jar and 6 minutes to fill a.drum. Rahul has to fill the drum with the jar. First he fills the jar and then
brings it to the drum and pours the water into the drum. The time taken to bring the jar from the tap to the drum is 10 seconds.
Unfortunately, the jar develops a leak, which can empty the full jar in 40 seconds. What will be the minimum total time required by
Rahul to fill the drum?
1
A 18 4 minutes
B 18 minutes
C 20 minutes
2
D 16 3 minutes
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the capacity of Jar and Drum is 8 and 360 respectively.
Quantity of water filled in Jar in 1 second = 1
It takes 40 seconds by the hole to empty the Jar completely.
1
1 1
So. effective time taken to fill the jar = 8 − 40 = 10 seconds.
10
It takes 10 seconds to bring the Jar to the drum. So, quantity of water in Jar emptied in 10 seconds = 8∗ 40 =2
Quantity of water poured into Drum by Jar = 6
Total time taken to pour this 6 unit of water = Time taken to fill the Jar + Time taken to bring the Jar to the Drum = 10 + 10 = 20 seconds
Capacityofdrum 360
Number of time Jar is used to fill the drum = Quanttiyofwaterfilledbyjarinonego = 6 = 60times
Total time taken to fill the drum = 60 * 20 = 1200 seconds = 20 minutes
52. A company manufactures two products X and Y. One unit of X requires three units of material A and two units of material B while one
unit of Y requires two units of material A and five units of material B. If 25 units of each product were to be produced, calculate the
requirement of material B. If 25 units of each product were to be produced calculate the requirement of material B.
A 175
B 125
C 150
D 156
Answer: A
Explanation:
One unit of X requires two units of material B, then 25 unit of X will require = 2 * 25 = 50 units of material B
One unit of Y requires five units of material B, then 25 unit of Y will require = 5 * 25 = 125 units of material B
Total requirement of material B = 50 + 125 = 175

54. A milk man diluted milk to an extent of 25% of the original volume of pure milk with water and priced it same as the cost price of milk.
23
Part of the water evaporated and the volume was reduced to 25 th of the diluted volume. The profit percent to the milk man is
A 23%
B 25%
C 15%
D 20%
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let original quantity of pure milk = 100x
Let cost price of '100x' litres of pure milk = 100
Amount of water added = 25% of 100x = 25x
Total quantity of mixture = 100x + 25x = 125x
23
Total quantity of mixture after evaporation = 125x ∗ 25 = 115x
Selling price of '115x' litres of mixture = Cost price of '115x' litres of pure milk = 115x

Profit amount = 115x - 100x = 15x

solution in the volume of ratio of 2 : 3 : 4, we obatin a solution containing 32% alchohol . If we mix them in the ratio 3 : 2 : 1 by volume,
we obatain a solution containing 22% of alcohol. What is the percentage of Alcohol in M?
A 6%
B 12%
C 18%
D 10%
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let percent of alcohal in mixture M, N and O mixture is 'a', 'ar' and 'a r2 ' respectively.
Now,
2a+3ar+4ar2
2+ 3+ 4 = 32
a(2 + 3r + 4r2 ) = 288 .......... (1)
3a+2ar+ar2
3+2+1 = 22
a(3 + 2r + r2 ) = 132 .......... (2)
From (1) and (2):
a(2+3r+4r2 ) 288 24
a(3+2r+r2 ) = 132 11
4r2 − 3r − 10 = 0
r=2
From equation (1):
a(2 + 6 + 16) = 288

a = 12
Ppercentage of Alcohol in M = a = 12%

put in to the beaker B after throughly mixing 12 litres of mixure is taken from B and put in to the beaker A.what is the percentage of
water in beaker A?
A 14.5%
B 12.5%
C 15.5%
D 17.5
Answer: B
Explanation:
The ratio of milk to water in beaker B after mixing 30 litres of milk from beaker A to beaker = 30: 90 = 1: 3
The remaining quantity of milk in beaker = 90 - 30 = 60 litres
1
Quantity of milk in beaker A when 12 litres of mixture from beaker B is mixed in beaker = 60 + 12 4 = 60 + 3 = 63 litres
3
Quantity of water in beaker A when 12 litres of mixture from beaker B is mixed in beaker = 12 4 = 9 litres
Total quantity of mixture in beaker A = 63 + 9 = 72 litres

59. Lalit purchased two triangularplots, cach of whichhad exactly two sides of length 100 m. Find the maximum possible difference of the
nOoy two plots, if it is knownthat neither of the twoplots is less than 4800 sq. m in area.
A 20 m
B 40 m
C 60 m
D None of these
Answer: B
Explanation:
Since two sides of triangles are 100 m each.

Now, the third side of triangle must be greater than '0' and less than '200'.
The Minimum length of the third side when the area is greater than or equal to 4800 = 120 m
The maximum length of the third side when the area is greater than or equal to 4800 = 160 m
Now, Difference between perimeter of two triangle = Difference between length of third side = 160 - 120 = 40 m

54∗N = 22.53 = 33
36∗32∗27
N= 64∗54
N = 9 days
61. Two persons A and B are at two P and Q,respectively. A walks at ‘V’ km/h and B is 2 km/h faster then A, starting simultaneoausly
from where they stand.If they walk towards each other,they meet in 72 minutes.If they walk in the same direction the faster over
takes the slower in 6 hours .what are they respective speeds in km/h?
A 3 and 5
B 4 amd 6
1 1
C 2 2 and 4 2
1 1
D 3 2 and 5 2
Answer: B
Explanation:
Speed of A = V
Speed of B = V + 2
Let the distance between points P and Q = D
Now,
D 72
V +(V +2) = 60 = 1.2
D = 1.2(2V + 2)
D = 2.4V + 2.4 .......... (1)
D
(V +2) −V =6
D = 12 ......... (2)
From (1) and (2):

12 = 2.4V + 2.4
V=4
Speed of A = V = 4 km/h
Speed of B = V + 2 = 6 km/h
62. Two trains starting all the same time from two stations 240 km apart and going in opposite directions cross each other at a distance
of 160 km from one of the stations. What is the ratio of their speeds?
A 2:1
B 2:3
C 1:3
D 1:4
Answer: A
Explanation:
Distance between two stations = 240 km
Their meeting point is 160 km from one of the stations.
So, one train travels 160 km and other train travels 240 - 160 = 80 km.
Since, distance travelled by one train is double of the distance travelled by another train at the same time.
Hence, the ratio of speed will be = 2: 1 or 1: 2
63. It takes eight hours for a 600 km journey, if 120 km is done by train and the rest by car. He takes 20 minutes more, if 200 km is done

65. An automobile financier claims to be lending money at simple interest, but he includes the interest every 4 months for calculating the
principal, if he is charging an interest of 12%, then the effective rate of interest is approximately
A 13.25%
B 12.5%
C 12.75%
D 13.5%
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let principle amount = 1000
1000∗12∗1
SI for first 4 months = 100∗4 = 30
1030∗12∗1
SI for second 4 months = 100∗4 = 30.9
1060.9∗12∗1
SI for third 4 months = 100∗4 = 31.827
1092.727∗12∗1
SI for last 4 months = 100∗4 = 32.78181
Total amount at the end of 1 year = 1092.727 + 32.78181 = 1125.50881
1125.50881−1000
Effective interest = 10 = 12.55% = 12.5% (Approx)
66. A borrowed ₹4800 from B at 9% per annum simple interest for 3 years. He then added some more money to the borrowed sum and
lent it to C for the same period at 12% per annum simple interest. If A gains ₹720 in the whole transaction, how much money did he
add from his side?
A ₹500
B ₹740
C ₹640
D ₹800
Answer: D
Explanation:
4800∗9∗3
Total amount of interest given by A to B = 100 = Rs.1296
Let extra amount added by A = X
(4800+ X)∗12∗3
Total amount of interest received by A to C = 100 = (1728 + 0.36X)
Now,
(1728 + 0.36X) - 1296 = 720
0.36X = 288
X = 800
Hence, extra amount added = Rs.800
67. If the rate of interest be 5% per annum for first year, 89 % per annum for second year and 12% percent per annum for third year, then
the compound interest of ₹ 8000 for 3 years will be

A ₹2055.16
B ₹1480.24
C ₹2160.64
D ₹1350.36
Answer: C
Explanation:
Total amount of interest at the end of 3 years = 8000 * 1.05 * 1.08 * 1.12 - 8000
= 10160.64 - 8000
= Rs.2160.64
68. A man borrows ₹5000 from a bank at 8% per annum compound interest. At the end of every year, he pays ₹1000 as a part payment
of loan and-interest. How much does he still owe to the bank after three such installments?
A ₹3052.16
B ₹3442.20
C ₹3616.84
D ₹3824.40
Answer: A
Explanation:
5000∗8∗1
Total amount left at the end of 1 year = 5000 + 100 − 1000 = Rs.4400
4400∗8∗1
Total amount left at the end of 2 year = 4400 + 100 − 1000 = Rs.3752
3752∗8∗1
Total amount left at the end of 3 year = 3752 + 100 − 1000 = Rs.3052.16

71. Out of the total production of iron from hematite, an ore of Iron, 20% of the ore gets wasted, and out of the remaming iron, only 25% is
pure iron. If the pure iron obtained if a year from a mine of hematite Was 80,000 kg then the quantity of hematite mined from that
mine in the year is?
A 500000 kg
B 400000 kg
C 450000 kg
D 400500 kg
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let the quantity of hematite mined from the mine in a year = 100x
Wasted ore = 20% of 100x = 20x
Pure iron = 25% of (100x - 20x) = 20x = 80000
x = 4000
Hence, quantity of hematite mined from the mine in a year = 100x = 400000 kg
72. An express train without its rake can go 24 km an hour, and the speed is diminished by a quantity that varies as the square root of the
number wagons attached .If it is known that it is four wagons its speed is 20 km/hthe greatest number of wagons with which the
engine can just move is
A 143
B 140
C 135
D 210
Answer: A
Explanation:
Speed of train without wagons = 24 km/h
Reduction in speed with 'n' wagons ∝ n

Reduction in speed with 'n' wagons =k n
Speed of train with 4 wagons = 20 = 24 −k 4
2k = 4
k=2
Now,

Consider the case when the speed of train is zero.
24 − 2 n = 0
24 = 2 n
12 = n
n = 122
n = 144
Hence, total number of wagons will be 143 when the train cna just move.

box containing green balls are consecutively numbered .The total number of days in which these can be done is
A 60
B 33
C 21
D 5
Answer: C
Explanation:
Case 1: Total ways when one box contains one green ball = {1}. {2}, {3}, {4}, {5}, {6} = 6 ways
Case 2: Total ways when two boxes contain one green ball = {1, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 4}, {4, 5}, {5, 6} = 5 ways
Case 3: Total ways when three boxes contain one green ball = {1, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4}, {3, 4, 5}, {4, 5, 6} = 4 ways
Case 4: Total ways when four boxes contain one green ball = {1, 2, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4, 5}, {3, 4, 5, 6} = 3 ways
Case 5: Total ways when five boxes contain one green ball = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} = 2 ways
Case 5: Total ways when all the six boxes contain one green ball = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} = 1 way
Tota; ways = 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 21
74. 'N’ persons stand on the circumference of a circle at distinct points. Each possible pair of persons, not standing next to cach other,
sings a two-minute song one pair after the other. If the total time taken for singingis 28 minutes, what is ‘N’?
A 5
B 7
C 9
D None of these
Answer: B
Explanation:
Since, N persons are standing on the circumference of a circle at distinct points and each possible pair of persons, not standing next to each
other, sings a two-minute song one pair after the other.
Total time taken is 28 minutes when each pair sings for 2 minutes, then total time taken will be 14 minutes when each pair sings for 1
minute.
A person standing can't form pair with himself and with his two neighbours. Hence, total possible pairs = N * (N - 3).
This also includes the pair in both clockwise and anticlockwise direction.
[N(N−3)]
Hence, the actual number of pair = 2 = 14
N(N - 3)=28
N=7

76. In an examination, A obtains 10 percent less than the minimum number of marks required for passing. B obtains 11 9 percent less
3
than A. C obtains 41 17 percent less than the number of marks obtained by A and B together. Does C pass the exam or fail?
A Pass
B Fail
C Can not be determined
D None of these
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let passing marks in the exam = 90
Marks obtained by A = 90% of 90 = 81
1
Marks obtained by B = (100 − 11 9 )% of 81 = 72
Marks obtained by A and B together = 81 + 72 = 153
3
Marks obtained by C = (100 − 41 17 )% of 153= 90
Hence, C will pass the exam

78. In a class, there are equal number of boys and girls. Two students are selected for a game.If the probabilty that the two students are
7
girls is 29 ,then what is the strength of the class?
A 15
B 30
C 90
D 60
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let boys and girls in the class are 'x' each.
Total students = x + x = 2x
Probability of selecting two girls from the class = $$\frac{xC1}{2xC1} = \frac{7/29}$$
$$\frac{[x(x - 1)]}{[2x(x - 1)]} = \frac{7}{29}$$
29(x - 1) = 14(2x - 1)
29x - 29 = 28x - 14
x =15
Strength of class = 2x = 30
79. Two squares of sizé $$1\times1$$ are selected one after another from an $$8\times8$$ chessboard. The ‘probability that the two
squares belong to different rows and different columns, is
A $$\frac{1}{6}$$
B $$\frac{5}{36}$$
C $$\frac{29}{36}$$
D $$\frac{7}{9}$$
Answer: D
Explanation:
First we'll select 1 square out of total 64 squares that means we can't select second square from that row and that column. Now we're left
with 7 rows and 7 columns from which we can select another square.
Hence, total square left = 7 * 7 = 49 [From which we can select another square].
Probability to select first square = $$\frac{64C1}{64C1} = 1$$
Probability to select first square = $$\frac{49C1}{63C1} = \frac{49}{63}$$
Required probability = $$1 * \frac{49}{63}$$
$$= \frac{7}{9}$$

answer the questions . Mark answer as
121. If no student took test T more than once, how many students took test T?
I. The average(arithmetic mean) of the students’ scores on test T was 72.
II. The sum of the students’ scores on test T was 2,232.
A if statement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question
B if statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question
C if both statements taken together are sufficient to answer the question, but neither statement alone is sufficient
D if statements I and II together are not sufficient and additional data is needed to answer the question
Answer: C
Explanation:
Average = Sum of the scores/ Number of students
=> Number of students = Sum of the scores/Average
Hence both statements are necessary

122. Last year $$\frac{4}{5}$$ of the applicants for a job on a police force/passed ow the physical examination. If $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of the
applicants who passed the physical examination also passed the written examination, how many of the applicants passed both
examinations?
I. The number of applicants who did not pass either examination was equal to the number who passed the written examination only.
II. There was a total of 100 applicants.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the total number of students = 5x
Number of students who passed physical test = 4x
Number of students who failed physical test = x
Let Number of students who passed the written test = 3x+y
=>Number of students who failed written test = 2x-y
From statement 2, we can say 5x=100 => x=20
From statement 1, we can say 3x-y = 3x+y => y =0
Number of students who passed both examinations =7x= 140
123. G, P, and S are animal species. What is the average life span, in year, of S?

Answer: E
Explanation:
1.S=2P; S=(4/5)G; we cannot determine. Insufficient
2.G=P+30 ;G=s+10 >> we cannot determine. Insufficient
1+2
S=(4/5)G and G=S+10
S=(4/5)(S+10)=>(1/5)S=8
S=40
124. There are exactly 6 teams in league Y. What was the total number of games played by the 6 teams last season?
I. Each team in league X played each of the other teams at least once.
II. No team in league X played more than 7 games.
Answer: D

Explanation:
From the statement I, each team has played at least 5 games with each team once. From the statement II, number of games played by each
team is less than or equal to 7. So the teams can play between 5 to 7 games which is not definite.
$$\therefore\ $$We cannot say the exact total number of games played using the given data.
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
125. A Swimming club that sold only individual and family memberships charged ₹300 for an individual membership. If the club’s total
revenue from memberships was ₹480,000, what was the charge for a family membership ?
I. The revenue from individual memberships was $$\frac{1}{4}$$ of the total revenue from memberships.
II.The club sold 1.5 times as many family memberships as individual memberships.
Answer: C
Explanation:
From statement 1, total revenue from individual memberships = 96000 Rs and total revenue from family memberships = 384000 Rs
Number of Individual memberships = 96000/300 = 320
Adding statement 2 , we get number of family memberships = 1.5 x 320 = 480
charge for a family membership = 384000/480 = 800 RS

=> 3000000 - x is invested in Q and R
Interest = (3000000 - x)9/100
Given, 7.5x/100 + (3000000 - x)9/100 = 243000
Upon solving, x = 13.5 lakhs
