4) Answer: D
The quantity of diesel sold in October = 450
The quantity of diesel sold in July = 160
Required ratio = 450: 160 = 45 : 16
1) Answer: A
The quantity of petrol sold in November = 640 *
5) Answer: A
2 = 1280
The total quantity of petrol sold in each months =
The quantity of diesel sold in November = 150 *
(350 + 640 + 540+ 450 + 550) = 2530

The quantity of petrol sold in July = 640
The total number of cars manufactured in all
The quantity of diesel sold in July = 160
companies = 400 * 100/5 = 8000
Revenue generated in July = (640 *103 + 160 *
The number of cars manufactured in company A

= 8000 * 20/100 = 1600
The quantity of petrol sold in September =450
The number of cars manufactured in company B
The quantity of diesel sold in September = 450
= 8000 * 15/100 = 1200
Revenue generated in September = (450 * 103 +
The number of cars manufactured in company D
450 * 96) = Rs. 89550
= 8000 * 40/100 = 3200
Required difference = 89550 – 81280 = Rs. 8270
The number of cars manufactured in company E
= 8000 * 20/100 = 1600
3) Answer: B
6) Answer: B
The quantity of petrol sold in August = 540
The number of cars manufactured in company A
The quantity of petrol sold for scooter in August

The number of electric cars manufactured in
The quantity of petrol sold for car in August =
company A = 400 * 120/100 = 480
540 – 60 = 480
The number of petrol cars manufactured in
The quantity of petrol sold for scooter in June =

7) Answer: A 1540
The number of cars manufactured in company C
= 400 11) Answer: B
The number of Ford cars manufactured in According to the question,
company C = 400 * 45/100 = 180 The average age of four persons = 32.5 years
The number of Honda cars manufactured in A +B + C + D = 32.5 * 4 = 130
company C = 400 – 180 = 220 C + D = 35 * 2 = 70
The number of Alto cars manufactured in A + B = 60
company C = 204 + 40 = 244 C = 14 + D
C – D = 14 ----(1)
8) Answer: C C + D = 70 --(2)
The number of cars manufactured in company B By solving equation (1) and (2), we get

Required ratio = 12 : 32 = 3:8 The present age of A = 60 – 36 = 24 years

9) Answer: C 12) Answer: A

The number of cars manufactured in company E According to the question,
= 1600 Let, the initial investment of Gokul = 7x
The number of cars manufactured in company A The initial investment of Vikram = 5x
= 1600 The profit share of Gokul and Vikram = (7x * 4 +
Required percentage = 1600/1600 * 100 = 100% (7x + 200) * 8) : (5x * 6) + (10x *6)
= (84x + 1600) : 90x
10) Answer: B = (42x + 800) : 45x
The number of cars manufactured in company D (42x + 800)/45x = 52/45
= 3200 1890x + 36000 = 2340x
The number of cars sold in company D = 3200 * 450x = 36000
11/16 = 2200 x = 80
The number of defective cars sold in company D The initial investment of Gokul = 7 * 80 = Rs.

15) Answer: A
13) Answer: A According to the question,
According to the question, Let, the cost price of the article = 100x
Total number of balls in the bag = x + x + 2+x -2 Case I:
= 3x The marked price of the article = 100x *
(x -2)/3x = 0.2 142/100= 142x
x = 2/0.4 SP = 142x - 100
x=5 The marked price of the same article = 100x *
The number of blue balls in the bag = 5 138/100 = 138x
The number of red balls in the bag = 3 SP = 138x – 200
The number of green balls in the bag = 7 (142x -100)/(138x -200) = 70/67
Probability of picking two blue balls = 5C2/15C2 = 9514x – 6700 = 9660x – 14000
2/21 146x = 7300
Probability of picking two red balls = 3C2/15C2 = x = 50
1/35 The cost price of the article = 100 * 50 = Rs.
Probability of picking two green balls = 7C2/15C2 5000

Required probability = 2/21 + 1/35 + 1/5 = 16) Answer: B
34/105 According to the question,
((36w + 24m)*24)/(1/4) = (40w + 36w)*54/(3/4)
14) Answer: A (36w + 24m) * 24 * 4 = (40w + 36m)*54 * 4/3
According to the question, 144w + 96m = 120w + 108m
Let, n = 100x 24w = 12m
X = 100x * 20/100 = 20x m = 2w
Y = 80x * 5/8 = 50x The total work = (36w + 48w) * 24 * 4 = 8064w
Z = 80x * 3/8 = 30x Time taken = 8064w/(36w * 4) = 56 days
50x – 20x = 24
30x= 24 17) Answer: A
X = 24/30 According to the question,
X = 0.8 CI = P(1+R/100)n – P
The value of n = 100 * 0.8 = 80 2205 = 10500(1+y/100)2 – 10500

4a = 112 According to the question,
a = 28 cm The consecutive odd number = (x, x+2, x+4,
The length of the rectangle = 28 cm x+6, x+8, x+10)
The width of the rectangle = 20 cm The consecutive even number = (y, y+2, y+4)
The perimeter of the rectangle = 2 (L + w) (x+x+2+x+4+x+6+x+8+x+10)/6 = 1600 * 20/100
