👆Ans. A | Explanation:

Expected police-to-population ratio of West Bengal = 1187

Expected police-to-population ratio of Bihar = 1133

Expected police-to-population ratio of Andhra Pradesh = 642

Existing police-to-population ratio of Uttar Pradesh = 1173

Existing police-to-population ratio of Andhra Pradesh = 953

Existing police-to-population ratio of Maharashtra = 829

Required ratio = [(1187 + 1133 + 642)/ (1173 + 953 + 829)] = 2962/2955 = 2962 : 2955

(d) 40.8%

👆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.

👆Ans. B | Explanation:

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.

👆Ans. B | Explanation:

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

A machine costs m rupees per day to maintain and n paise for each unit it produces. If the machine produces r units in a week, then which of the following is the total cost of operating the machine for a week?

(d) 700mnr
👍2
👆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

👆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.

👆Ans. D | Explanaton:

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 | Explanaton:

Let the cost price of the articles be Rs. 100.

Shopkeeper labeled the price 30% higher than the cost price.

So, Marked price = 100 + 30% of 100 = 100 + 30 = Rs. 130

After giving a discount of 10%, the selling price of the articles = 0.9 × 130 = Rs. 117

So, actual profit percent = [(117 - 100)/100] × 100 = 17%

👆Ans. B | Explanaton:

Let number of apples and oranges that Rani brought be A and O respectively.

Now, 23A + 10O = 653

Since 653 has last digit as 3 which can come by multiplying 23 with 1, 11, 21, 31 and so on. Here, number of apples bought is greater than number of oranges. So, A > O

We can see that A = 21 and O = 17 is the only solution.

So, number of Apples bought = 21 and number of Oranges bought = 17.

Cost of an Apple = 23/1.15 and

Cost of an Orange = 10/1.25

Overall cost = (23/1.15) × 21 + (10/1.25) × 17 = 483/1.15 + 170/1.25 = 420 + 136 = 556

Profit = 653 – 556 = 97

Profit percentage = (97/556) x 100 = 17.4%

👆Ans. C | Explanation:

Let price of one shirt be Rs. S and price of one pant be Rs. P.

Price of 15 shirts and 21 pants is equal to the price of 18 shirts and 12 pants.

So, 15S + 21P = 18S + 12P

⇒ 21P - 12P = 18S – 15S

⇒ 9P = 3S

⇒ S/P = 9/3 = 3/1 = 3 : 1

Hence, the ratio of the prices of one shirt and one pant is 3 : 1.
