Q.1 [11831809]
There are three runners Aadit, Badal and Chahel at the same point. Aadit starts running at a speed of 6 m/s
from a point. After 10 seconds, Badal starts running behind Aadit at a speed of 8 m/s. After 5 more seconds,
Chahel also starts running behind Badal at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the distance (in m) between Chahel and
Badal when Chahel catches Aadit if all of them are running along a straight line?

1 45

2 5

3 10

4 15
Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 2
Distance covered by Aadit in (10 + 5 =) 15 seconds = 6 × 15 = 90 m
Time taken by Chahel to catch Aadit = 90/(10 – 6) = 22.5 seconds
So distance covered by Chahel to catch Aadit = 10 × 22.5 = 225 m
And distance covered by Badal when Chahel catches Aadit = 8 × 5 + 8 × 22.5 = 220 m
Hence, required distance between Chahel and Badal = 225 – 220 = 5 m.

Q.5 [11831809]
If a cube of edge 8 cm is cut into as many 1 cm cubes as possible, then the surface area of the lager cube will
be what percent more or less than the sum of the surface areas of the smaller cubes?

1 2.5%

2 87.5%

3 25%

4 75%

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 2
Number of smaller cubes of edge 1 cm = 8 × 8 × 8 = 83
Surface area of the larger cube = 6 × 82 sq. cm
Sum of the surface areas of the smaller cubes = 83 × 6 × 12 sq. cm
Ratio of surface areas = 6 × 82 : 83 × 6 × 12 = 1 : 8
Hence, required percentage = (8 – 1)/8 × 100 = 87.5% less.

A saree is marked at 100% above the cost price. What is the maximum number of successive discounts of 20%
each, which can be offered, before selling the saree such that a loss is not incurred?

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 3
Let the cost price of the saree be Rs.100.
Marked price = Rs. 200
Therefore, 200 × (0.8)3 = Rs. 102.40
Hence, the maximum number of successive discounts of 20% each is 3.

Q.15 [11831809]
If 3 < x < 200, find the sum of all possible values of x such that x/3 is the square of a prime number.

1 114

2 261

3 453

4 195

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 2
If x/3 is the square of a prime number, then possible values of x/3 are 22, 32, 52,
72 and so on. Therefore, possible values of x are 3 × 22, 3 × 32, 3 × 52, 3 × 72 which
is equivalent to 12, 27, 75, 147. Since there are only four values between 3 and 200, the sum of these values is
equal to 12 + 27 + 75 + 147 = 261.

Q.16 [11831809]
A man rows 15 km in 1 hour in still water and in 90 minutes against the current. Find the time (in hours) taken by
him to row 40 km with the current and return to the starting point.
Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 6
Speed in still water = 15/1 = 15 km/hr
90 min = 3/2 hours
Speed against the current = 15/(3/2) = 10 km/hr
Therefore, the speed of water current = 15 – 10 = 5 km/hr
Therefore, the speed with the current = 15 + 5 = 20 km/hr
Hence, time taken to row 40 km with the current and return to the starting point = 40/20 + 40/10 = 6 hours.

Q.17 [11831809]
In how many ways can 12 different chocolates be divided equally among three identical boxes?

1 12!/(4!)3

2 12!/3 × 4!

3 12! × 4!/3

4 12! × (4!)3

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 1
Number of chocolates in each box = 12/3 = 4
Number of ways of distribution of chocolates = 12!
For each box, the number of ways of distribution of chocolates = 4!
Hence, the required number of ways = 12!/4! × 4! × 4! = 12!/(4!)3.

Q.19 [11831809]
A alone can complete a job in 18 days and B alone in 27 days. If C takes five-sixth the time that A and B together
take to complete the job, how long (in days) will A and C together take to complete the same work?

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 6
As A can do the work in 18 days and B in 27 days, when they work together, they
take 54/(3 + 2) = 54/5 days
Given, C takes five-sixth the time that A and B together take.
So C takes 5/6 × 54/5 = 9 days to do the work.
If A and C work together, they can complete the work in (18)/(1 + 2) = 6 days.

Q.20 [11831809]
How many natural numbers not exceeding 2022 are multiples of 3 or 5 but not 7?

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 810
Number of multiples of 3 = [2022/3] = 674
Number of multiples of 5 = [2022/5] = 404
Number of multiples of 15 (3 and 5) = [2022/15] = 134
Number of multiples of 21 (3 and 7) = [2022/21] = 96
Number of multiples of 35 (5 and 7) = [2022/35] = 57
Number of multiples of 105 (3, 5 and 7) = [2022/105] = 19
Hence, answer is = 674 + 404 – 134 – 96 – 57 + 19 = 810.

Q.22 [11831809]
A money lender lends money under Scheme I at the rate of 30% per annum, where interest is compounded every
four months and under Scheme II at the rate of 25% per annum compounded annually. If Ishan borrows
Rs.50,000 each under Schemes I and II, then find the total interest (in Rs.) accrued at the end of one year.

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 29050
If Rs. 50,000 is borrowed, then amount at the end of the year under:
Scheme I = 50000 × [1 + 30/(3 × 100)]3 = Rs.66,550
Scheme II = 50000 × 1.25 = Rs.62,500
Hence, total interest accrued = 129050 – 100000 = Rs.29,050.
