1) Answer: D Difference = (400 + 720) - (420 + 630) = 70

Number of thriller movie released on Tuesday =
2500 * (100 – 16 – 24)/100 = 1500 3) Answer: D
Number of thriller movie released on Friday = Number of horror movie released on Monday =
1200 * (100 – 25 – 10)/100 = 780 15/100 * 2400 = 360
Required ratio = 1500:780 Number of comedy and thriller movie released

And crosses the platform of length 900 m in 20
11) Answer: C seconds
The number of Elephants in Zoo [x+900]/20=x/5
A=60/100*80=48 5x+4500=20x
The number of Lions in Zoo A=48/12*5=20 4500=15x
The total number of Lions in Zoos A and Q 300=x
together=20+90=110 Length of second train=6*300=1800 m
Speed of first train=300/5=60 m/s
12) Answer: A Second train crosses the first train in 30 seconds
The total number of Elephants in all three Zoos = travelling in the opposite direction
75 + 100 + 80 = 255 Let y is the speed of the second train

14) Answer: B Total weight of 35 students =35*45=1575 kg
The total number of animals in Zoo S = 185 + 15 The wrong entries=38+32+40=110
= 200 The actualweight =35+28+30=93
The number of Monkeys in Zoo S = 90 – 55 = 35 The actual weight of 35 students=1575-
Required answer = 200 – 55 = 145 110+93=1558 kg

Arjun has paint in the mixture = 75-10=65litres 25x2 – 28x – 288 = 0

Arjun has paint in the mixture = 10 litres 25x2 – 100x + 72x – 288 = 0
Ratio of paint to water = 65:10 = 13:2 25x(x – 4) + 72(x – 4) = 0
Vivek take out 30 litres of mixture and replaced x = +4, -72/25
by 30 litres of water, x=4
Arjun has paint in the mixture = 65-[13*30/15] The tax paid by Ram = 125 * 4 = Rs.500
=(65-26) = 39 litres
Arjun has water in the mixture = 10-[2*30/15] = 20) Answer: C
(10-4) = 6 litres According to the question,
Vivek added 30 litres of water, Area of square=64 m²
Ratio of paint to water left with Arjun =39:(6+30) a²=64
=39:36 =13:12 a=8
Breadth of the rectangle=8/4*5=10 m
19) Answer: A Length of the rectangle=150/10=15 m
Let the tax paid by Arun = 100x Radius of the circle=8/4*7=14 m
And the tax paid by Ram = 100x * 125/100 = Perimeter of the circle=2𝛑r=2*22/7 *14=4*22=88
125x m
And the tax paid by Bala = 125x * 100/80 = Perimeter of the
625x/4 rectangle=2[l+b]=2[15+10]=2*25=50 m
(625x/4 – 175) * 100x = 180000 Required sum=88+50=138 m
(625x – 700) * x = 180000 * 4/100

(10.5 * 4) + 1.5 = 43.5 6) Answer: A

(43.5 * 3) + 2.5 = 133 2x2 + 31x - 133= 0
(133 * 2) + 3.5 = 269.5 2x2 + 38x – 7x - 133= 0
(269.5 * 1) + 4.5 = 274 2x(x + 19) – 7(x + 19) = 0
(2x - 7)(x + 19)=0
2) Answer: E x = + 7/2 , - 19
3840 ÷ 10 = 384 2y2 – 35y + 98=0
384 ÷ 8 = 48 2y2 – 28y - 7y + 98=0
48 ÷ 6 = 8 2y(y - 14) – 7(y - 14)=0
8÷4=2 (2y - 7) (y – 14)=0
2÷2=1 y= + 7/2 , + 14
Hence, x ≤ y
3) Answer: B
(5 *1)+ 22 = 9 7) Answer: D
(9 * 2)+ 42 = 34 2x2 - 63x + 118= 0
(34 * 3) + 62 = 138 2x2 - 4x - 59x + 118= 0
(138 * 4) + 82 = 616 2x(x - 2) - 59(x - 2) = 0
(616 * 5) + 102 = 3180 (2x - 59) (x - 2)=0
x = + 59/2 , + 2
4) Answer: D 2y2 - 51y - 236=0
(28 – 4) * 2 = 48 2y2 + 8y - 59y - 236=0
(48 – 8) * 2 = 80 2y(y + 4) - 59(y + 4)=0
(80 – 16) * 2 = 128 (2y - 59) (y + 4)=0
(128 – 32) * 2 = 192 y= + 59/2 , - 4
(192 – 64) * 2 = 256 Hence, x = y or relationship can’t be determined.

5) Answer: C 8) Answer: D
81 * 5 = 405 3x2 + 16x - 44= 0
405 ÷ 3 = 135 3x2 - 6x + 22x - 44= 0
135 * 5 = 675 3x(x - 2) + 22(x - 2) = 0
