Ans. (d) | Explanation:

In a month of 30 days beginning with Saturday, we will have 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 20 Other days.

Visitors on 5 Saturdays = 640 × 5 = 3200

Visitors on 5 Sundays = 640 × 5 = 3200

Visitors on Other days = 310 × 20 = 6200

So, Total number of visitors in 30 days = 3200 + 3200 + 6200 = 12600

Average number of visitors per day = 12600/30 = 420

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Ans. (d) | Explanation:

Number of Vaccinations done in Lucknow in all the three months = 85 + 45 + 90 = 220

Average number of Vaccinations done in Lucknow = 220/3

Number of Vaccinations done in Jhansi in all the three months = 30 + 50 + 60 = 140

Average number of vaccinations done in Jhansi = 140/3

Required Percentage = {(220/3)/(140/3)} × 100

= (220/140) × 100

= 157.14% (approx.)

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Ques. Rohan works in a sanitizer factory. In a 176 ltr mixture of glycer and alcohol, there’s 80% alcohol. How much alcohol should be evaporated from the mixture to reduce its percentage to 60%?

(b) 88 ltr

(c) 72 ltr

(d) 76 ltr
Ans. (d) | Explanation:

Ratio of glycer and alcohol in the mixture = 20 : 80 = 1 : 4

So, Quantity of glycer in the solution = 176 × 1/(1 + 4) = 35.2 ltr

So, quantity of alcohol in the solution = 176 – 35.2 = 140.8 ltr

In the final mixture, alcohol is 60% and glycol is 40%.

40% corresponds to 35.2 litres.

60% corresponds to 35.2 × (60%/40%) = 52.8 litres.

So, Quantity of alcohol that should be evaporated = 140.8 litr – 52.8 ltr = 88 ltr

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Ans. (a) | Explanation:

Let us assume CP = Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs. 80 and selling price = Rs. 180.

The cost increases by 20%, therefore new CP = Rs. 120, SP = Rs. 180.

So, new profit percentage = (60/120) × 100 = 50%.

Answer : (b) 36 kg | Explanation:

Average weight of all (veg & non-veg) people = 38.4 kg

Average weight of non-vegetarian people = 40 kg

Number of vegetarian people = 10

Number of non-vegetarian people = 15

Total number of people = 15 + 10 = 25

Total weight of 25 people = 38.4 × 25 = 960 kg

Total weight of non-vegetarian people = 40 × 15 = 600 kg

So, Total weight of vegetarian people = 960 – 600 = 360 kg

Therefore, Average weight of vegetarian people = Total weight of vegetarian people / Number of vegetarian people = 360/10 = 36 kg

So, average weight of vegetarian people = 36 kg

Hence, option (b) is the correct answer.

Ans. (a) 7:49 pm | Explanation:

Let distance between Delhi and Pune be A km.

Time taken by Sonali to reach Pune = 10 – 4 = 6 hours

Time taken by Priyanka to reach Delhi = 11 – 6 = 5 hours

Speed of train which leaves Delhi = A/6 km/hr

And Speed of train which leaves Pune = A/5 km/hr

Relative speed = A/6 + A/5 = 11A/30 km/hr

Distance covered by train which leaves Delhi in 2 hours = 2 × A/6 = A/3 km

Distance left to be covered = A – A/3 = 2A/3 km

Time taken by both the trains to cross each other = Distance left to be covered/ Relative speed = (2A/3)/(11A/30) = 20/11 hours = 1 hour 49 minutes

Required time = 6 pm + 1 hour 49 minutes = 7: 49 pm

Hence, option (a) is the correct answer.

Ans. (d) 420 | Explanation:

In a month of 30 days beginning with Saturday, we will have 5 Saturdays, 5 Sundays and 20 Other days.

Visitors on 5 Saturdays = 640 × 5 = 3200

Visitors on 5 Sundays = 640 × 5 = 3200

Visitors on Other days = 310 × 20 = 6200

So, Total number of visitors in 30 days = 3200 + 3200 + 6200 = 12600

Average number of visitors per day = 12600/30 = 420

Hence, option (d) is the correct answer.

Answer: (b) | Explanation:

Contribution ratio of Kallu and Malkhan = 1:2

Contribution ratio of Malkhan and Ramu = 2:3

So, Contribution ratio of Kallu, Malkhan and Ramu = 1:2:3 ……….(i)

Contribution ratio of Ramu and Shyam = 5:6 ………..(ii)

To make Contribution of Ramu equal in eqn (i) and (ii), we will multiply eqn (i) by 5 and eqn (ii) by 3.

Contribution ratio of Kallu, Malkhan and Ramu = [1:2:3] × 5 = 5:10:15

Contribution ratio of Ramu and Shyam = [5:6] × 3 = 15:18

So, Contribution ratio of Kallu, Malkhan, Ramu and Shyam = 5:10:15:18

∴ Required contribution of Malkhan = 9600 × 10/(5+10+15+18) = Rs. 2000

Hence, option (b) is correct.
