3.In an exam, the average marks for 80 students of Class 5th is 35. The average
of marks in section A of the class is 55 while the average of marks in section B
is 30. Find the number of students in Class 5th B.

a. 45
b. 50
c. 64
d. 70
Answer: c. 64

Explanation:

Total students i.e. Section A + Section B = 80

Section A = 80 - Section B = 80 - B

∴ 80 x 35 = B x 30 + (80 - B) x 55

2800 = 30B + 4400 - 55B

1600 = 25 B

B = 64

∴ B = 64 = Number of students in Class B.

4. Given 10% of a = 20% of b.

Answer
Answer: b. 2 : 1
5. a:b = 3:4 and b:c = 9:7. What is a:b:c?

a. 3 : 13 : 7
b. 3 : 36 : 28
c. 27 : 16 : 28
d. 27 : 36 : 28
Explanation:

B is common to both the ratios.

Values of b = 4 and 9 (That means they are not the same)
Make the values of 'b' same as follows -
Multiply 3:4 up and down with 9 as shown
3 x 9 27 a
∴ = =
4 x 9 36 b
Multiply 9:7 up and down with 4 as shown
9 x 4 36 b
∴ = =
7 x 4 28 c
Since, values of b are same = 36
a : b : c = 27 : 36 : 28

2, 5, 10, 17, 26, 37, 50, 64

A) 50 B) 37
 C) 26 D) 64
Answer: D) 64

Explanation:

(1*1)+1 , (2*2)+1 , (3*3)+1 , (4*4)+1 , (5*5)+1 , (6*6)+1 , (7*7)+1 , (8*8)+1

But, 64 is out of pattern.

8.A, B and C enter into a partnership with a capital in which A's contribution is
Rs. 10,000. If out of a total profit of Rs. 1000, A gets Rs. 500 and B gets Rs.
300, then C's capital is :

A) 4000 B) 5000

C) 6000 D) 7000
Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 4000

Explanation:

A : B : C = 500 : 300 : 200 = 5 : 3 : 2.

Let their capitals be 5x, 3x and 2x respectively.
Then, 5x = 10000
=> x = 2000.
C's capital = 2x = Rs. 4000.

Ayesha's father was 38 years of age when she was born while her mother was
36 years old when her brother four years younger to her was born. What is the
difference between the ages of her parents?
A. 2 years

B. 4 years

C. 6 years

D. 8 years
Answer: Option C
Explanation:
Mother's age when Ayesha's brother was born = 36 years.
Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = (38 + 4) years = 42 years.
Required difference = (42 - 36) years = 6 years.

16.A is 2 years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of
A, B and C be 27, then how old is B?
A. 7 years
B. 8 years
C. 9 years
D. 10 years

Answer: D. 10 years
Explanation: Let C's age be x years
Then, B's age = 2x years
A's age = (2x + 2) years
(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27
5x = 25 => x = 5
Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 year

that they are of same colour.

A) 1/2 B) 7/15

C) 8/15 D) 1/9

Answer: B) 7/15

19. Two dice are tossed. The probability that the total score is a prime number is:

A) 5/12 B) 1/6

C) 1/2 D) 7/9

Answer: A) 5/12

Explanation:

Clearly, n(S) = (6 x 6) = 36.

Let E = Event that the sum is a prime number.

Then E= { (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 4), (1, 6), (2, 1), (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 2), (3, 4), (4, 1), (4,3),(5, 2), (5, 6),
(6, 1), (6, 5) }

n(E) = 15.

P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 15/36 = 5/12.

20. Two dice are thrown together .What is the probability that the sum of the number on the two
faces is divided by 4 or 6.

A) 7/18 B) 14/35

C) 8/18 D) 7/35

Answer & ExplanationAnswer: A) 7/18

Explanation:

Clearly, n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36
Let E be the event that the sum of the numbers on the two faces is divided by 4 or 6.
Then,E = {(1,3),(1,5),(2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(3,1),(3,3),(3,5),(4,2),(4,4),(5,1),(5,3),(6,2),(6,6)}
n(E) = 14.
Hence, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 14/36 = 7/18

21. 20 buckets can fill a tank when the capacity of each bucket is 12 liters. If the capacity of
each bucket is 10 liters, find the number of buckets required to fill the tank.

A. 30 buckets
B. 34 buckets
C. 24 buckets
D. 27 buckets

Correct answer; option (C)

Answer with explanation:

Capacity of each bucket = 12 liters

20 buckets can fill the tank. So, capacity of tank = 20 * 12= 240 liters

New capacity of bucket = 10 liters

So, 10 liters can be poured into the tank by one bucket

23. 1) How many times the hands of a clock coincide in a day?

A. 24
B. 22
C. 23
D. 21

The Correct answer is (B)

Explanation:

The hands of a clock coincide only once between 11 O' clock and 1 O' clock, so in every
12 hours, the hands of a clock will coincide for 11 times.

∴ In a day or 24 hours, the hands of a clock will coincide for 22 (11+11) times.

25. What is the probability of getting two tails when two coins are tossed?

A. 1/3
B. 1/6
C. 1/2
D. 1/4

Answer: D

Explanation:

The sample space when two coins are tossed = (H, H), (H, T), (T, H), (T, T)
So, n(S) = 4
The event "E" of getting two tails (T, T) = 1
So, n(E) = 1

So, the probability of getting two tails, P (E) =

= = 1/4

30. The price of 2 sarees and 4 shirts is Rs. 1600. With the same money
one can buy 1 saree and 6 shirts. If one wants to buy 12 shirts, how
much shall he have to pay?

 A. Rs. 1200
 B. Rs. 2400correct
 C. Rs. 4800wrong
 D. Cannot be determined

Explanation:
Let the price of a saree and a shirt be Rs. x and Rs. y respectively.

Then, 2x + 4y = 1600 .... (i)

and x + 6y = 1600 .... (ii)
Divide equation (i) by 2, we get the below equation.
=> x + 2y = 800. --- (iii)
Now subtract (iii) from (ii)
x + 6y = 1600 (-)
x + 2y = 800
----------------
4y = 800
----------------

Therefore, y = 200.
Now apply value of y in (iii)
=> x + 2 x 200 = 800
=> x + 400 = 800
Therefore x = 400
Solving (i) and (ii) we get x = 400, y = 200.
Cost of 12 shirts = Rs. (12 x 200) = Rs. 2400.

There are two examinations rooms A and B. If 10 students are sent from A to B, then the number of
students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from B to A, then the number of
students in A is double the number of students in B. The number of students in room A is:
A. 20

B. 80

C. 100

D. 200

Let the number of students in rooms A and B be x and y respectively.

Then, x - 10 = y + 10 x - y = 20 .... (i)
and x + 20 = 2(y - 20) x - 2y = -60 .... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 100 , y = 80.
The required answer A = 100.

34.

A man has some hens and cows. If the number of heads be 48 and the number of feet equals 140,
then the number of hens will be:
A. 22

B. 23

C. 24

D. 26

Let the number of hens be x and the number of cows be y.

Then, x + y = 48 .... (i)
and 2x + 4y = 140 x + 2y = 70 .... (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get: x = 26, y = 22.
The required answer = 26.
