Q.7 [11831809]
Sandeep and Ganesh can complete a piece of work in 30 days and 20 days respectively. Both of them work for 6
days and then Ganesh leaves. Now Tezas, who can complete the same work in 15 days joins Sandeep to
complete the remaining work. In how many total days was the total work completed?

1 10

2 11

3 12

4 13

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 2
Work done by Sandeep and Ganesh in 6 days = 6[1/30 + 1/20] = 1/2
So half the work is remaining, which is completed by Sandeep and Tezas.
Work done by Sandeep and Tezas in one day = [1/30 + 1/15] = 1/10
So time taken by them to complete half the work is 5 days.
Hence, total time = 6 + 5 = 11 days.

Q.12 [11831809]
A person purchases 22 movie tickets, which include both first-class and second-class tickets. The total expense
on purchasing first-class tickets is Rs. 180 and the total amount spent on purchasing second-class tickets is Rs.
208. If the cost of one ticket of first-class is Rs. 4 more than the cost of one ticket of second-class, then find the
cost (in Rs.) of purchasing all the first-class tickets with at the price of second-class ticket.

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 3
Money spent on first class tickets = 180 = 20 × 9.
Money spent on second class tickets = 208 = 16 × 13.
The price of first class tickets = Rs.20, second class will cost Rs.16, which satisfies the condition in the
question as the total number of tickets = 9 + 13 = 22.
Hence, if first class tickets are bought at second class price, the amount spent = 9 × 16 = Rs.144.

Q.14 [11831809]
How many pairs of integers exist such that the difference between their product and sum is 42?
Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 4
Let a, b be two integers.
Then, |ab – (a + b)| = 42
Case 1: a + b – ab = 42
⇒ a – ab + b – 1 = 42 – 1
⇒(a – 1)(b – 1) = – 41
Therefore, a – 1 = 1, b – 1 = –41 or a – 1 = – 1, b – 1 = 41
⇒ a = 2, b = – 40 or a = 0, b = 42
So, 2 pairs of integers are possible.
Case 2: ab – a – b = 42
⇒ ab – a – b + 1 = 43
⇒ (a – 1)(b – 1) = 43
Therefore, a – 1 = 1, b – 1 = 43 or a - 1 = 43, b – 1 = 1
⇒ a = 2, b = 44 or a = 44, b = 2
So, 2 pairs of integers are possible.
Hence, in total 4 pairs of integers are possible.

Q.15 [11831809]
The average of scores of 20 students is 57. If 7 students have failed the exam with the same score and rest
score distinct integral marks with the highest being 91. What is the minimum possible score of the failed
students?

Solution:
 Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 5
Total score of 20 students = 20 × 57 = 1140
Students who passed have to pass with maximum scores to minimize the scores
of students who failed.
∴ Passed students scores are 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 89, 90, 91.
∴ Sum of scores = 85 × 13 = 1105
∴ Sum of scores of 7 failed students = 1140 – 1105 = 35
Hence, as there are 7 students with equal scores, the minimum score = 35/7 = 5.

Solution:

Correct Answer : 4
According to the question, (a, b) can take values (1, 5), (2, 4) and (3, 3) in any
order.
Now, for the difference of abc and cba to be 297.
If (a, b) is (1, 5), then c takes value 2.
If (a, b) is (2, 4), then c takes value 1.
If (a, b) is (3, 3), then c takes value 0, which is not possible because cba will not be a three digit number.
Hence, the difference between the largest and the smallest possible values of abc will be = 512 – 421 = 91.
