b) 459
c) 434
d) 445
e) None of these

b) Rs.108000
c) Rs.111200
d) Rs.145600
e) None of these
Solutions:
1. D) Quantity 1-
Rakhi’s marks= 115
Meenakshi’s marks= 115 - 20 = 95
Puneeta’s marks= 95 + 65= 160
Ankita’s marks=160 - 35= 125
Simpy’s marks= 125+ 67= 192
Total maximum marks= 192 + 108= 300
Required percentage marks of Simply
= 192/300 × 100 = 64%
Quantity 2-
Let length and breadth be 100.
After increase in length it become
160, then reduction in breadth be ‘x’
Now, 160*x= 100*100
Hence, x = 10000/160 = 62.5
Reduction in breadth is 100 – 62.5 = 37.5%
Hence, Quantity1 > Quantity2
2. A)
3. B)
4. A)
5. D)
6. D)
7. C)
Number of passenger of Duronto in
general coaches = 15% of 800 = 120
Number of passenger of Talgo in
general coaches = 1120 – (448 + 190 + 168) = 314
Total number of passengers in the
general coaches of Duronto and Talgo = 120 + 314 = 434
8. B)
Number of passenger of Talgo in
sleeper coaches = 40% of 1120 = 448
Number of passenger of Talgo in AC
coaches = 390 – 200 = 190
Require difference = (448 + 190) –
200 = 438
9. D)
Number of passenger of Duronto in
first class coaches = 800 – (200 + 120
+224) = 256
Number of passenger in Talgo = 140%
of 800 = 1120
Number of passenger of Talgo in first
class coach = 15% of 1120 = 168
∴ Required percentage = (256 + 168)/1120 × 100 = 37.85% ≈ 38%
10. A)
Total number of passengers in AC
coaches in both the train together is 390
∴ Amount generated from AC coaches of both the train = 390 × 350 = Rs. 136500
