Number of temporary employees of company E = (100 – 50)/100 x (100 – 56)/100 x 40000
[(100 – 56)/100] x 40000 = 50/100 x 44/100 x 40000
= (44/100) x 40000 = 8800

Required percentage = (12096 – 10416)/10416 x Number of blue balls= 2*10/5= 4


100 Number of yellow balls = 10-4= 6
= 1680/10416 x 100 So,
= 16.12% Required probability= 4C1 * 4C2/ 16C3 = 3/35

51) Answer: A 55) Answer: D


Let the number of blue balls in the bag A be x Let the number of blue balls in bag F initially be
Then number of Yellow balls= 2x x
So, Balls taken out= x-3
Total balls= 4+7+x+2x= 3x+11 Balls left = 3+5+4+x-3= x+9
Then we have, 4C1/ 3x+11C1= 1/5 So,
4/(3x+11)= 1/5 x - 3C1/x+9C1= 3/9
3x+11=20 x-3 / x+9= 3/9
3x= 20-11 9x- 27= 3x+27
3x= 9 6x= 54
x= 3 x= 9
Blue balls= 3 So, number of blue balls initially = 9
Yellow balls= 6 Total balls in the bag initially= 9+3+4+5=
Probability of getting two yellow 21balls
6 20
balls= C2/ C2= 15/190= 3/38
56) Answer: C
52) Answer: C From I:
Number of red balls in bag D = (¾)*4= 3 Part of the tank filled by A in 1 hour = 1/12
Number of green balls in bag D= 8+3= 11 Part of the tank emptied by C in 1 hour = 1/10
Probability of not getting a yellow From II:
16 20
ball= C2/ C2= 120/ 190= 12/19 Efficiency (B) = 2 x Efficiency (A)
Probability of getting at least one yellow ball= 1- From III:
12/19= 7/19 Pipe A and pipe B are opened together and
closed after 3 hours and at that time pipe C is
53) Answer: C opened.
Total number of balls in bag C= 23 From I, II and III:
After addition= 23+x Part of the tank filled by B in 1 hour = 2/12 = 1/6
So, Let the number of hours taken by pipe C to
5
C1/(23+x)C1= 1/6 empty the filled part of the tank = x
5/(23+x)= 1/6 x/10 = 3/12 + 3/6
30= 23+x => x/10 = ¼ + ½
x= 7 => x/10 = (1 + 2)/4
Number of blue balls added= 7 => x = 30/4
=> x = 7.5 hours
54) Answer: A Hence, all I, II and III together are sufficient.
Number of blue and yellow balls= 16-6= 10

From III: From I and III
A student left the class and another student of age 450 + l = 15 x 50
22 years joined the class. => l = 750 – 450
From I and II: => l = 300 m
New sum = 875 – 30 + 26 = 871 Hence, only I and III together are sufficient.
New average = 871/35 = 24.88 years
Hence, only I and II together are sufficient. 61) Answer: B

=> 6/15 + 4/20 + 4/x = 1 Let car B will be 10 kilometres ahead of car A
=> 2/5 + 1/5 + 4/x = 1 after t hours from 12 noon
=> 4/x = 1 – 3/5 According to the question
=> 4/x = (5 – 3)/5 80 x t – (50 x t + 50 x 4) = 10
=> 4/x = 2/5 =>80t – 50t – 200 = 10
=> x = 10 days => 30t = 210
=> t = 7 hours
63) Answer: C Time = 12 + 7 = 7 pm
Let the age of daughter = x
years 65) Answer: D
Age of father = 4x years Let the cost price of the article for A =Rs.x
Mother = (4x – 6) years According to the question
Son = (4x – 6)/2 years x× 125/100 × 90/100 × 130/100 = 17550
Now, => x = 17550 x 100/130 x 100/90 x 100/125
(4x – 6)/2 = x + 5 => x = Rs.12000
=> 4x – 6 = 2x + 10 Payment made by B = 12000 x 125/100 =
=> 2x = 16 Rs.15000
=> x = 8 Payment made by C = 12000 x 125/100 x 90/100
Age of the mother = 4x – 6 = Rs.13500
=4x8–6 Required difference = 15000 – 13500 = Rs.1500
= 26 years

Directions (Q. 66-70):

Scheme Q:The Total Number of Projects under Scheme Q = 375


The Number of Projects in City B is 75 less than that of number of projects in City A and C together.
Consider the number of projects in City A and C is X, then X + (X – 75) = 375, on solving we get,X=225,
then number of projects in City B = 150 projects.
Scheme P: The Number of Projects in City B is 2/3rd of the Number of projects in city B under Scheme
Q.
Scheme P: Number of Projects in City B = 2/3rd *150 = 100 projects.

Scheme Q:The Number of Projects in City A is 5/6th of the number of projects in City A under Scheme R.

Scheme R: The Number of Projects under Scheme R is 4/5th of the number of Projects under Scheme Q.
Therefore total number of projects in Scheme R is 300.
The Number of Projects in City A is equal to the number of Projects in City B under Scheme Q.
Therefore number of projects in city A under scheme R is 150 projects.

Scheme R: The Number of Projects in city C under Scheme Q and Scheme R is Equal. So there are 100
projects in city C under scheme R. And also for city B under scheme R should have 50 projects.
Scheme P: The Number of Projects in City C is 4/5th of the Number of projects in city C under Scheme R.
Number of Projects in City C= 4/5*100 = 80
The Total Number of Projects in city A and City C is equal under Scheme P.
Therefore number of projects in City A is 80 projects. So the final table becomes

66) Answer: D 68) Answer: AFund allocated for City C under


In 2019, The projects allocated for city B under these three schemes = (15*80) + (100 * 19) +
Scheme Q is increases by 30% (100 *17) = 4800 crores = 48000 Millions
= 150 *130 /100 69) Answer: E
= 195 The total number of projects under Scheme P and
The project allocated for city C under scheme R Scheme Q together = 260+375 = 635 Projects
is decreases by 45% = 100*55/100 = 55
Thus the total number of projects in 2019 for city 70) Answer: D
B under scheme Q and City C under Scheme R = The number of projects allocated under scheme P
250 is 20% more than that of number of projects
From the given options 250 projects obtained allocated for city C under scheme P =
only from option D. 80*120/100=96
The number of projects allocated under scheme
67) Answer: C Q is 40% less than that of number of projects
The average number of projects under Scheme Q allocated for city B under scheme Q = 150 * 60
and Scheme R for City C and City B together = /100 = 90
(150+100+50+100)/4= 400/4=100 The total number of projects in city X is 300
Then number of projects allocated for City X
under scheme R = 300-(96+90) = 114 projects

71) Answer: C

Total number of manufacturing parts from company D in 2017= 1360


From the given question there 20% parts that are defective in 2017 from company D = 1360 *20 /100 =
272
Non defective parts = 1360 -272 = 1088
10% of non-defective parts are not passed the quality test for company D
= 10% of 1088 = 108
Non-defective parts that are passed the quality test for company D = 1088-108 =980
The total number of non-defective parts that are passed the quality test in both years from company D =
576 + 980 = 1556 parts

72) Answer: E
There is no such information to find out the defective and non-defective parts from Company B and
Company C in 2017. So we are not able to find out the Non-defective parts that are passed by quality test
from company B and Company C in 2017. So cannot be determined is the answer.

73) Answer: D

In 2017,

The total number of Non-defective parts that are passed from quality test from company C and D in 2016
=972+576 = 1548
Total number of Non-defective parts from A, B and E together in 2017=768 + 960+ 850 = 2578
Required percentage = [(2578 – 1548) /2578] *100= 39.99% = 40% less

74) Answer: E

The average numbers of non-defective parts that are not passed the quality test from all the company
except D in 2016 =(272+196+108+432)/4 = 252

75) Answer: A

The difference between the non- defective parts that are passed the quality test from Company B and C
together in 2016 = 588+972 = 1560
The non- defective parts that are not passed the quality test from Company A, D and E together in 2016 =
272 + 192+432 = 896
Difference = 1560 – 896 = 664

76) Answer: E Thus, Quantity I > Quantity II


Quantity I: Let the width of the wall be x
meters. 78) Answer: D
Then height=5x meters and thus length=40x. Quantity I:
Hence 40x *x* 5x=548800 Let savings in Insurance scheme and Bank
x3=548800/200 account be Rs x and Rs (925000-x) respectively.
x3=2744 Then, (3x/5) = (2/5) (925000-x)
x=14 15x=10(925000-x)
Quantity II: The surface area of a cube =6a2 5x=9250000
Then 6a2=1350 x=1850000
a2= 225 Quantity II: Let B’s share be Rs x.
a=15 Then C’s share=Rs 3x/5 and A’s share=Rs
Then, Diagonal =√3a= 15√3cm. (2/3)(3x/5)
Thus, Quantity I < Quantity II = Rs 2x/5
Thus (2x/5)+x+(3x/5)=3000000
77) Answer: D 2x+5x+3x= 3000000*5
Quantity I: 10x=15000000
Let the original price be x. x=1500000
Then, x * 75/100 * 90/100= 594 Then C’s share=(3/5)*1500000
x= Rs 880 =Rs 900000
Quantity II: Let Cost price of an item be Rs x. Hence Quantity I > Quantity II
Then (102% of x)- (85% of x)=136
17% of x=136 79) Answer: E
x= Rs 800 Quantity I:
