👆Ans. A | Explanation:
Total time from 6 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. = 11 hours 30 minutes = 690 minutes
Clock gains 5 seconds in every 5 minutes.
∴ Gain in 1 minute = 5/5 = 1 second
∴ Gain in 60 minutes = 60 × 1 = 60 seconds
∴ Gain in 690 minutes = 690 seconds = 690/60 minutes = 69/6 minutes = 23/2 minutes = 11.5 minutes OR 11 minutes 30 seconds
Hence, the correct time = 5:30 + 0:11 = 5:41 p.m. (approximately)
(as the clock is gaining time, it means it is running faster than it should and hence display time will be more than the real time)

If α and β are two real numbers such that α + β = - q/p and αβ = r/p, where 0<p<q<r (p, q, r are natural numbers), then which one of the following alternatives represents the highest value?

(d) αβ/(α + β)
👍2
👆Ans. C | Explanation:
It is given that α + β = - q/p and αβ = r/p, where 0<p<q<r
So, let’s assume p = 1, q = 2 and r = 3.
Putting these values in answer options, we get
(A) 1 / (α + β) = - p/q = - (1/2)
(B) (1/ α) + (1/ β) = (α + β)/ αβ = -(q/p) × (p/r) = - (q/r) = - (2/3)
(C) – 1/ (αβ) = -(p/r) = - (1/3)
(D) αβ/(α + β) = r/p × (-p/q)= - r/q = - (3/2)
We can see that, - (1/3) is the greatest among the above values.

👆Ans. D | Explanation:
दिया गया है कि अंकित मूल्य है = 16000 रुपये
अत:, लागत मूल्य = (16000/160) × 100 = 10000 रुपये
यदि इसे 12% की छूट पर बेचा जाता है, तो विक्रय मूल्य = 16000 × (88/100) = 14080 रुपये
लागत मूल्य पर लाभ = 14080 - 10000 = 4080 रुपये
इस प्रकार, लाभ % = (4080/10000) × 100 = 40.8%
इसलिए विकल्प (d) सही उत्तर है।

👆Ans. D | Explanation:
Payment done by Animesh in the first month = Rs.10
Payment done in the second month = Rs. 10 + 7.5 = Rs. 17.5, and so on.
It’s an arithmetic series, wherein a = 10, d = 7.5, Sn = 1625
We know that, Sn = (n/2) [2a + (n – 1) × d]
Or 1625 = (n/2) [2 × 10 + (n – 1) × 7.5]
Or 1625 = (n/2) [20 + (n – 1) × 15/2]
Or 1625 = (n/4) [40 + (n – 1) × 15]
Or 6500 = 40n + 15n2 – 15n
Or 15n2 + 25n – 6500 = 0
Or 3n2 + 5n – 1300 = 0
On solving it we get, n = 20 months
Hence, option (d) is correct.

40% of the boys is same as half of the girls, and there are 20 girls.
So, 40% of boys = 20/2 = 10
Therefore, 100% of boys = (10/40%) × 100% = 25
Therefore, total number of boys = 25
Thus, total number of students = 25 + 20 = 45
Hence, option (b) is correct.

Interest earned on Rs. 13200 at a rate of 14% = Rs. 1848
Number of shares purchased = 13200/110 = 120
Dividend earned by him on 120 shares which pays a dividend of 15% per share = 120 × [(15/100) × 100] = Rs. 1800
Therefore, net profit = 1848 – 1800 = Rs. 48

👆Ans. B | Explanation:
Cost of 1 day to maintain the machine = Rs. m
Therefore 7 day’s cost for maintenance = Rs. 7m
Similarly, cost of 1 unit = n paise (for 1 day) = Rs. n/100
Therefore, cost of r units = Rs. rn/100
Hence, Total cost = 7m +( rn/100) = (700m + nr) /100

Cost of 1 day to maintain the machine = Rs. m
Therefore 7 day’s cost for maintenance = Rs. 7m
Similarly, cost of 1 unit = n paise (for 1 day) = Rs. n/100
Therefore, cost of r units = Rs. rn/100
Hence, Total cost = 7m +( rn/100) = (700m + nr) /100

👆Ans. (a) | 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.

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.
