76849Option C
(A + B)’s 1 hour work = 1 /10
(B + C)’s 1 hour work = 1/ 15
(C + A)’s 1 hour work = 1/ 12
(A + B + C)’s hour work = 1/{ 2 [ 1/ 10 + 1/ 15 + 1/ 12]}
= 1/{ 2 [( 6 + 4 + 5) /60 ] }
= 1/8
(A + B + C) can do the required work in 8 hours.
- Tea worth Rs. 126 per kg and Rs. 135 per kg are mixed with a third variety in the ratio 1 : 1 : 2. If the mixture is worth Rs. 153 per kg, then what is the price of third variety per kg.
178180.6155.6175.5181.8Option D
Let price of third variety was Rs. A per kg
Let respective amounts of these tea were x kg, x kg and 2x kg.
126x + 135x + 2Ax = 153 × 4x
⇒ 2A = 351
⇒ A = 175.5 rupee per kg
- The height of a circular cylinder is increased to six times and the base area is decreased to oneninth of its value. The factor by which the lateral surface of the cylinder increase ?
12345Option B
Base area is decreased to one-ninth it means radius is decreased to one-third.
LSA is increased by [2𝜋× 𝑟/ 3 ×6ℎ ]/2𝜋𝑟ℎ = 2 times

81 : 2687 : 2578 : 2983 : 2281 : 21Option D
P ==== K
A 4====1
B 5====2
C 6====1
In resultant mixture, the ratio of petrol and Kerosene
= (4 × 49 + 5 × 35 + 6 × 35) ∶ (1 × 49 + 2 × 35 + 1 × 35)
= 83 : 22
- A right cylindrical vessel is full of water. How many right cones having the same diameter and height as that of the right cylinder will be needed to store that water?

150 km130 km110 km120 km100 kmOption A
Let time taken by Pankaj during walking be ‘t’ hours
5t + 25 [10 - t] = 17 × 10
⇒ 20t = 80
⇒ t = 4 hours
Part of journey travelled by auto = 25 × 6 = 150 km

Rs. 1020Rs. 1100Rs. 1250Rs. 1020Rs. 1122Option D
Let marked price is Rs. 𝑥
𝑥 × 85/100 − 𝑥 × 80/100 = 51
⇒ 𝑥 × 5/100 = 51
⇒ 𝑥 = Rs. 1020
- A bus travels at 75 km/h without any stoppage. But due to stoppages at intermediate stands its average speed becomes 63 km/h. How much minute bus stop every hour?
6.8 min.5.7 min.8.8 min.7.5 min.9.6 min.Option E
Without stopping bus travels 75 km/hr.
With stop bus travels 63 km/hr.
Stopping time = 75 –63/75 = 0.16 hour
= 0.16 × 60 = 9.6 min.
- Two trains running in opposite directions to each other, cross a man standing on the platform in 30 sec and 12 sec respectively and they cross each other in 20 seconds. Find the ratio of their speed.
8:95:71:22:34:5Option E
Let the speed of first train is x m/sec Speed of second train is y m/sec Length of first train = 30x Length of second train = 12y
ATQ,
(30𝑥+12𝑦)/𝑥+𝑦 = 20
= 30x + 12y = 20x + 20y
10x = 8y
𝑥/ 𝑦 = 8/ 10
x: y = 4: 5

- A father divides his property between his two sons A and B. A invests his amount at C.I. of 8% per annum whereas B invests the amount at S.I. at 10% per annum. At the end of 2 years, the interest received by B is Rs. 1336 more than the interest received by A. Find the share of A in the father’s property of Rs. 25,000.
Rs 12,000Rs 14,000Rs 15,000Rs 10,000Rs 16,000Option D
Let share of A = Rs x
Share of B = Rs (25000 – x)
[(25000 − 𝑥)×10×2]/ 100 − 𝑥 [(1 + 8/ 100)^2 − 1] = 1336
⇒ (25000 − 𝑥)/ 5 − 104𝑥/ 625 = 1336
⇒ 3125000 – 125x – 104x = 1336 × 625
⇒ x = Rs 10,000
- An ore contains 25% of an alloy that has 90% iron. Other than this, in the remaining 75% of the ore, there is no iron. To obtain 60 kg of pure iron, the quantity of the ore needed, in kgs, is approximately:
232.31 kg214.25 kg266.67 kg242.34 kg256.15 kgOption C

- The strength of a school increases and decreases in every alternate year by 10%. It started in 2000 and increases in 2001, then the strength of the school in 2003 as compared to that in 2000 was:
Increase by 7.1%Increase by 6.5%Decrease by 7.8%Increase by 7.6%Increase by 8.9%Option E
Let in 2000, the strength was 100
In 2001 strength = 110
In 2002 strength = 110 × 90/ 100
In 2003 strength = 110 × 90/ 100 × 110 /100 = 108.9
Required % increment = 8.9%
Hence, strength after 3 years will increase by 8.9%
- A spider climbed 62(1/2)% of the height of the pole in one hour and in the next hour it covered 12(1/2)% of the remaining height. If pole’s height is 192 m, then the distance climed in second hour is:
79568Option B
Total height = 192m
Distance climbed in second hour = 1 /8
= 192 × (8−5)/ 8 × 1 /8 = 192 × 3 /8 × 1/ 8 = 9 m
- C is twice efficient as A. B takes thrice as many days as C. A takes 12 days to finish the work alone. If they work in pairs (i.e. AB, BC, CA) starting with AB on the first day then BC on the second day and AC on the third day and so on, then how many days are required to finish the work?
4 (1/8) days2 (1/7) days3 (1/5) days5 (1/9) days6 (1/4) daysOption D
Time taken by A alone = 12 days
Time taken by B alone = 12 2 ×3 = 18 days
Time taken by C alone = 12 2 = 6 days
Work done in first three days = ( 1 /12 + 1 /18) + ( 1/ 18 + 1/ 6 ) + ( 1/ 6 + 1/ 12)
= 5 /36 + 4 /18 + 3 /12 = 11/ 18
Remaining work = 1 – 11/ 18 = 7/ 18
Work done in next two days = 5/ 36 + 4/ 18 = 13/ 36
Now, remaining work = 7 /18 – 13/ 36 = 1 /36
This work will be done by C and A together
Total days required = 3 + 2 + 4/ 36 = 5 (1/9) days
