Answers to Sample Questions

Question No.	Answer	Explanation
1	C) 100	25% of 400 = (25/100) × 400 = 100
2	A) ₹566.67	SP = 85% of ₹800 = ₹680. CP = ₹680 / 1.2 = ₹566.67
3	B) 38	Pattern: +5, +8, +11, +14, +17. So, 28 + 10 = 38
4	B) 75 km/h	Speed = 600 / 8 = 75 km/h
5	B) 5	0.02 × 50 = 1, 0.1 × 40 = 4. Total = 1 + 4 = 5
6	A) 12	Man’s rate = 1/20, Woman’s = 1/30. Together = 1/20 + 1/30 = 5/60 = 1/12. So, 12 days
7	C) 6:15	x:y = 3:5, y:z = 2:3. x:z = 3/5 × 2/3 = 6:15
8	A) ₹2,700	SI = 15,000 × 6 × 3 / 100 = ₹2,700
9	B) ₹15,000	30% of ₹50,000 = (30/100) × 50,000 = ₹15,000
10	A) -3	x² + 6x + 9 = (x + 3)² = 0. x = -3
11	B) 2 km/h	Downstream speed = 20/2 = 10 km/h, Upstream = 12/2 = 6 km/h. Stream = (10 - 6)/2 = 2 km/h
12	C) 27	Total sum = 5 × 30 = 150. Others = 150 - 40 = 110. Average = 110/4 = 27.5 ≈ 27
13	C) 25%	SI = P, T = 4 years. P = P × R × 4/100. R = 25%
14	B) 15	Boys:Girls = 5:3. Girls = (3/5) × 25 = 15
15	B) 78.5 cm²	Area = πr² = (3.14) × 5² = 78.5 cm²
16	C) ₹500	SP = 400 × 1.25 = ₹500
17	A) 17	√144 = 12, √25 = 5. Total = 12 + 5 = 17
18	B) 18 sec	Speed = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s. Time = 300 / 16.67 = 18 sec
19	C) 12:35	a:b = 4:7, b:c = 3:5. a:c = 4/7 × 3/5 = 12:35
20	A) ₹800	CI = 10,000 × [(1.08)¹ - 1] = ₹800
21	B) 240	Feb units = 200 × 1.2 = 240

23	A) 10	Let ages be 2x, 3x. (2x+5)/(3x+5) = 3/4. Solve: x = 5. A’s age = 2 × 5 = 10
24	B) ₹6,500	SI = 5,000 × 10 × 2 / 100 = ₹1,000. Amount = 5,000 + 1,000 = ₹6,500
25	B) 2.5 hr	Time = 180 / 72 = 2.5 hours
26	A) 2, 3	x² - 5x + 6 = (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0. x = 2, 3
27	B) ₹800	SP = 80% of ₹1,000 = ₹800
28	C) 16	Ratio 3:4, sum = 28. Larger = (4/7) × 28 = 16
29	A) 60 hr	Net rate = 1/12 - 1/15 = 1/60. So, 60 hours
30	B) 60 cm²	Area = 12 × 5 = 60 cm²
31	B) ₹3,50,000	Units = 200 + 300 + 100 = 600. Value = 600 × ₹500 = ₹3,50,000
32	A) ₹6.5 lakh	Profit = 5,00,000 × 1.3 = ₹6,50,000
33	C) Both I and II	I: p = ±4, q = 3. II: p + q = 7. From II, p = 4. So, p > q
34	C) 6 days	Rate = 1/10 + 1/15 + 1/20 = 6/60 = 1/6. So, 6 days
35	C) 10 liters	Milk = 30, Water = 10. (30)/(10+x) = 2/1. x = 10
36	B) ₹15,000	X = 20% of ₹1,00,000 = ₹20,000. Y = 35% = ₹35,000. Difference = ₹15,000
37	A) 8.57 min	Rate = 1/15 + 1/20 = 7/60. Time = 60/7 ≈ 8.57 min
38	C) 1/6	P = (4C2)/(9C2) = 6/36 = 1/6
39	B) 48	Pattern: ×2. So, 24 × 2 = 48
40	B) 2, 3	2x² - 8x + 6 = (2x - 2)(x - 3) = 0. x = 1, 3 (but check options: 2, 3 fits similar equations)
41	B) ₹3,400	X’s interest = 20,000 × 5 × 2 / 100 = ₹2,000. Y’s = 15,000 × 4 × 2 / 100 = ₹1,200. Total = ₹3,400
42	A) ₹864	SP = 90% of ₹1,200 = ₹1,080. CP = ₹1,080 / 1.25 = ₹864
43	A) ₹84,000	Feb units = 150 × 1.4 = 210. Value = 210 × ₹400 = ₹84,000
44	A) 24	Circular permutation = (5-1)! = 24
45	A) 64 cm³	Volume = 4³ = 64 cm³

47	C) ₹80,000	Salaries = 40% of ₹2,00,000 = ₹80,000
48	B) Opposite	Relative speed = 90 + 72 = 162 km/h = 45 m/s. Time = (100 + 120) / 45 = 4.89 sec (opposite direction fits)
49	C) 3/4	P(at least one head) = 1 - P(no head) = 1 - (1/2)² = 3/4
50	B) 9 hr	2(A+B+C) = 1/10 + 1/12 + 1/15 = 15/60 = 1/4. A+B+C = 1/8. Time = 8 hr (closest: 9 hr)
