= [{(a - c - c + a) (b + b)} - 4b2]/4 Longer parallel side = (h + 12) cm
= [4b (a - c) - 4b2]/4 Shorter parallel side = (h - 4) cm
= b (a - c - b) Now, area = (1/2) × (sum of parallel side) × height
60. (c) The average runs scored by Pritam in 11 innings = 896 = (1/2) × (h + 12 + h - 4) × h
(12 × 24 - 79)/11 = 19 h2 + 4h - 896 = 0
Now, the average runs scored by Aman in 12 (h + 32)(h - 28) = 0
innings = 2.5 + 19 = 21.5 h = -32, 28 (but height cannot be negative)
Therefore, the average runs scored by Aman in 11 So, height = 28 cm
innings = (21.5 × 12 - 93)/11 = 15 64. (c) C.P of the mixed Rice = (60×3 + 35×2)/5 = Rs 50/kg

So, 25344 = X/(1 + 25/100) + X/(1 + 25/100)2 Since, %mark-up is 28%
25344 = X/(5/4) + X/(5/4)2 M.P = 50(1 + 28/100) = Rs 64/kg

(7 + 9 + y) - (4 + x + z) = 0 or multiple of 11 Let S leave the business after 'm' months.
12 + y - x - z = 0 or 12 + y - x - z = 11 So, ratio of the shares of profits = (1600 ×
x - y + z = 12 ---------(1) 12):(2480 × m) = 240:31m
or x - y + z = 1 -----------(2) Hence, 240:31m = 48:31
For divisibility of 9: m=5
7 + 4 + 9 + x + y + z = multiple of 9 So, S left the business after 5 months.
20 + x + y + z = 27, 36 or 45 66. (b) (5 3/4 + 4 2/3) - [48% of 25 × (3 5/8 ÷ 1 13/16 + 7

x + z = 19/2 which is not possible = (9 + 17/12) - [12×(2-5+(6-1)/8)] + 24% of 50
From equation (2) and (3), we get = (9 + 17/12) - [12 × (-3 + 5/8)] + 12
x+z=4 = (9 + 1 5/12) + (19×3)/2 + 12
y=3 = 10 + 5/12 + 28 + 1/2 + 12
For divisibility of 4, the last two digits of a number = 50 + (5+6)/12
must be divisible by 4. = 50 11/12
749xyz is divisible by 4 when yz = 32, 36 67. (a) For the frustum of a cone:
For z = 2, x = 2 which is not possible as x ≠ z. Lateral surface area = π × (R + r) × l
For z = 6, x = -2 which is not possible 462√5 = (22/7) × (14 + 7) × l
When x + y + z = 25 l = 7√5
So, from equation (1) and (2), we get Now, l2 = (R - r)2 + h2
x + z = 37/2 which is also not possible (7√5)2 = (14 - 7)2 + h2
From equation (2) and (3), we get h = 14 cm
x + z = 13 Therefore, volume = (1/3) × πh × (R2 + rR + r2)
y = 12, which is not possible = (1/3) × (22/7) × 14 × (142 + 7 × 14 + 72)
When x + y + z = 16 = 5031 cm3 (approx.)
So, from equation (1) and (2), we get 68. (b) We know, (a3 + b3) = (a + b)(a2- ab + b2)
x + z = 28/2 = 14 Then, on comparing the formula, we get A = (√16)3
So, y = 2 = 64
For divisibility of 4, last two digits of a number
And, B = √16 = 4
must be divisible by 4.
C = 12
749xyz is divisible by 4 when yz = 20, 24, 28
Therefore, B(A - C) = 4(64 - 12) = 208
For z = 0, x = 14 which is not possible
69. (b) Let the C.P of the articles be Rs 4k and Rs 5k
For z = 4, x = 10 which is not possible
respectively.
For z = 8, x = 6 which is possible.
M.P of first article = 4k(1 + 25/100) = Rs 5k
Hence, number is 749628
M.P of second article = 5k(1 + 20/100) = Rs 6k
From equation (2) and (3), we get
S.P of first article = 5k×(1 - 10/100) = Rs 9k/2
1
S.P of second article = 6k× (1 - 5/100) = Rs 57k/10 s = (13a - 9b)/4

Required ratio = (9k/2) : (57k/10) = 45:57 = 15:19 4b - 5a = (13a - 9b)/4
70. (c) Joining BD, a = 25b/33
Percentage = 25 x 100/33 = 76% (approx.)
73. (b) Length ∶ width = 4 ∶ 13
⇒ l/w = 4/13
⇒ l = 4w/13
For the value of area,
⇒ Perimeter of rectangle = 2(l + w)
⇒ 68 = 2[(4w/13) + w]
⇒ 34 = 17w/13
⇒ (34 × 13)/17 = w
⇒ w = 26 cm
Now, l = 4w/13 = (4 × 26)/13 = 8 cm
Area of rectangle = w × l = 26 × 8 = 208 cm2
Value of length and width increase by 50%,
∠ADB = (1/2)*∠AOB = 26° Increased value of length = 1.5 × 8 = 12 cm
Since, AD is parallel to BC Increased value of width = 1.5 × 26 = 39 cm
∠DBC = ∠ODB = ∠ADB = 26° [Alternate angles] New area formed = 12 × 39 = 468 cm2
∠DEC = ∠DBC = 26° [Angles in same segment] ∴ Difference in the area = 468 – 208 = 260 cm2
∠AFE = ∠DFC = 64° [Vertically opposite angles] 74. (b) The only thing which matters in this problem is
∠DEA = 90° [Angle in a semicircle] mileage or kms per litre of the fuel. At 50 kmph 195
∠AEF = 90 − ∠DEF = 90 - 26 = 64° kms can be covered. According to condition 1.3
∠FAE = 180 – 2×64 = 52° times the fuel will be required at 75kmph.
71. (d) (r + 1)th term of (a + b)n = Tr + 1 = nCr an - r br Therefore, distance travelled will be 195/1.3 = 150
(r + 1)th term of (2x + 3y)4 = Tr + 1 = 4Cr(2x)4 - r(3y)r kms.
For coefficient of x4: 4 - r = 4 => r = 0 75. (c) (i) Numbers which are relative primes must have a
1st term of (2x + 3y)4 = T0 + 1 = 4C0 (2x)4 – 0 (3y)0 H.C.F. of 1, consecutive numbers are always relative
= 1 × 16x4 × 1 = 16x4 prime.
For coefficient of x2y2, 4 - r = 2 => r = 2 (ii) 133 = 19 × 7
3rd term of (2x + 3y)4 = T2 + 1 = 4C2 (2x)4 – 2 (3y)2 285 = 19 × 15
= 6 × 4x2 × 9y2 = 216x2y2 As 19 is the HCF of 133 and 285, they are not relative
Required answer = 216 ÷ 16 primes.
= 13.5 (iii) As both 210 and 255 are divisible by 3, they are
72. (c) Sol. Let speed of boat A and boat B in still water are not relative primes.
'a' km/hr and 'b' km/hr respectively and stream is (iv) 15 = 3 × 5
flowing with speed 's' km/hr. 91 = 7 × 13
Upstream speed of boat A = a - s As 15 and 91 have no common factor other than 1,
Upstream speed of boat B = b - s they are relative primes.
Downstream speed of boat A = a + s (v) 123 = 3 × 41
Downstream speed of boat B = b + s 164 = 4 × 41
a + s = 80% of (b + s) As 41 is a common factor of 123 and 164, 123 and
s = 4b - 5a 164 cannot be relatively primes.
And, (a - s): (b - s) = 9: 13

So, our final arrangement is, 7) P is not a neighbour of Q.
So, our final arrangement is,
From the above arrangement, “P and Z” are the

immediate neighbours of A. From the above arrangement, Q sits opposite to Z.
79. (c) 1) Three persons are sitting between K and A. Hence, “Q” is the correct answer.
80. (d) The given statements are,

All verbs are nouns. Some nouns are adverbs. No adverb is an adjective.
The basic minimum overlapping diagram and another possible diagram are,
Here, some verbs can be adverbs, some nouns are not adjectives and some nouns are verbs.
Hence, all conclusions I, II and III follow.
81. (c) The distance from her starting point = 45.2 + 50.4 - 82. (a) Diagonally:
87.5 = 8.1 m 23 + 35 = 58 and 71 - 58 = 13

Directions for questions 13 to 15: These questions younger than any one person.
are based on the following information.
84. (c) The statement "no person is shorter as well as younger than any one of the individual person" implies that the order of the
persons from the tallest to the shortest is same as the order of the persons from the youngest to the oldest.
Hence, Q is the third oldest as well as the third tallest. R is the second oldest as well as the second shortest.
It is given that P is taller than R. Hence, P is either the oldest or the second oldest. If P is the oldest, then he/she should be
the youngest. But this is not possible as it is given that T is younger than P.
Thus, P is the second oldest as well as the second youngest. T is the oldest as well as the youngest.
The final arrangement is as follows.
Order Height (tallest to shortest) Age (oldest to Youngest)
1 T S
2 P R
3 Q Q
4 R P
5 S T
S is the oldest person. Choice (C)
85. (c) The statement "no person is shorter as well as younger than any one of the individual person" implies that the order of the

5 S T
T is the tallest person.
87. (d) The words are coded considering the number of letters in the words.
TODAY -- (5 x 5) - 2 = 25 - 2 = 23.
MOON -- (4 x 4) - 2 = 16 - 2 = 14.
Hence, "CHANNELS" is coded as -- (8 x 8) - 2 = 64 - 2 = 62.
88. (a) Here, the positions of letters in the alphabetical order and in the reverse alphabetical order are considered.

7 + 5 = 12; 12 + 10 = 22; 22 + 20 = 42; 42 + 40 = 82; has two pentagons inside the big (outer) hexagon.
82 + 80 = 162; 162 + 160 = 322. In each of the questions below is given a statement
90. (a) Only II follows. From the statement, we can conclude followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You
that not all people prefer Indian food, i.e., there are have to assume everything in the statement to be
some people who like other cuisines more than true and then consider the two conclusions together
Indian cuisine. (I) does not follow as we cannot and decide which of them logically follows beyond a

given data which states only about Indians living in statement. Give your answer as
the USA.
92. (a) From the statement it cannot be said how effectively the order will be implemented. But it is clear that one should be
prepared for the eventuality in case one defaults. Hence I follows.
It is not known how such a ban is going to have an effect on the sales of cigarettes. Hence, II does not follow.
∴ Only I follows. Choice (1)
93. (c) The statement does not imply that it talks about each and every need of the village and urban people. Hence I does not
follow.
The reason for which the information needs of urban people differ from those of villagers are not referred to in the
statement. Hence II also does not follow. Choice (3)
94. (c) Here, the alphabets and their positions in the alphabetical order are considered.
Sum of positions of the vowels is the code for each word.
Here, IRON has two vowels which are I and O.
Hence, the code for IRON is 9 + 15 = 24.

101. (a) 104. (d)

Required expenditure Profit percent for the year 2005 = 12.5% - 2.5% = 10%
100 So, expenditure for 2005

= 265.6 million ≈ 213.2 million
105. (a)
102. (c)
Expenditure for 2006

Income in 2011 = 100 × 218.6 100
= 100+12.5 × 234.5
= 265.05 ≈ 265.0 million 100

= 112.5 × 234.5
So, required percent ≈ 208.4 million
265.0−208.6
= × 100 Total income of the company for all the years
208.6 = 234.5 + 208.6 + 216.2 + 274.4 + 332.0 + 265.6
56.4
= × 100 = 27% = 1530.7 million
208.6 and total expenditure of the company for all the years
103. (a) = 2084 + 193.6 + 197.0 + 202.8 + 265.6 +218.6 = 1286 million
So, net profit of the company during the period 2006-11

Total 120 117 125 362
Total no. of trains having this station as the source = 0.35 × 120 = 42
Trains having other stations as a source = 120 – 42 = 78
Total no. of trains passing through platform 2 = 117
Hence, ratio = 78: 117 = 2:3
107. (d) From the given graphs we have:

Total trains passing through platform 3 = 125
Superfast trains = 125/5 = 25
Total trains passing through platform 1 = 120
Rajdhani trains = 0.15 ×120 = 18
Express trains = total trains – (superfast trains + Rajdhani trains) = 362 – 25 – 18 = 319
109. (c) From the given graphs we have:

Total 120 117 125 362
If platform 2 is closed, 6 extra trains each will pass through platform 1 and 3.
Then no. of trains passing through platform 1 = 31 + 6 = 37
& no. of trains passing through platform 3 = 14 + 6 = 20
Hence, percent = (37- 20)/20 × 100 = 17/20 × 100 = 85%
