Solutions:
1.  A) Car U speed = 120×25/100=30 km/hr.
Distance = speed × time = 30× 2 = 60km.
Car U distance 20% = 60 km
Car R distance =60/20×13= 39 km
Car R time =39 /(120×15/100)= 2.16 hr
Similarly,
Car P distance =60/20×15 =45 km
Car P time =45/(120×20/100)= 45 / 24 = 1.875 hr
Total time =2.16 + 1.875 = 4.035hr
2.  D)
Car R distance 13% = 78 km
Car P distance =78/13×15 = 90 km
Speed of P=120×20/100=24 kmph
Then Car P time =90/24= 3.75hr
Similarly,
Car S distance =78/13×15 = 90 km
Speed of S=120×10/100=12 kmph
Then Car S time =90/12= 7.5hr
Required time difference = 7.5 3.75 = 3.75 hr 
3. C)
Difference between Car T and Car S is 17% - 15% = 2% (i.e., 2% = 40)
Car S distance =40/2×15= 300 km
Speed of S=120×10/100=12 kmph
Car S Time = 300/12 = 25 hr
Similarly,
Car T distance =40/2×17= 340 km
speed of T=120 × 20/100 = 24 kmph
Car T Time = 340/24 =14.16 hr
Difference = 25 14.16 = 10.84 hr [84 × 60/100 = 50.4 minutes]
Hence, Car S has taken 10 hour 50 minutes more than Car T.
4.  E)
Car Q distance 20% = 400km
Car R distance =400/20×13= 260 km
Speed of R=120×15/100=18 hr
Car R time =260/18=14.44 hour
Car P distance =400/20×15= 300 km
Speed of P=120×20/100=24 kmph
Car P time =300/24=12.5 hour
Car S distance =400/20×15= 300 km
Speed of S=120×10/100=12kmph
Car S time =300/12=25 hour
Car T distance =400/20×17= 340 km
Speed of T=120×20/100=24 kmph
Car T time =340/24=14.16 hour
Total time = (14.44+12.5+25+14.16) = 66.1 hr = 66 hour 6 minutes
5.  C)
Car U speed = 120×25/100=30 km/hr.
Car U distance = speed × time = 30 × 2 = 60km.
Car U distance 20% = 60 km
Car Q distance =60/20×20 = 60 km
Speed of Car Q=120×10/100=12kmph
Car Q time =60/12= 5hr
Direction (6-10):
6.  D) The no. of female followers for film B in Karnataka state is 4733
7.  C) Required ratio = 2840 : 3880 = 71:97
8.  C) Required difference = 21494 13061 = 8433
9.  B) The no. of female followers in Sikkim for all films = 3114 + 3859 + 3106 = 10079
Total no. of females in all states = 13061 + 15986 + 15985 = 45032
Required percentage = 10079 / 45032 ×100 = 22.38% 22%
10.  A) Average no of male followers in all states for all the films
= (18324 +21494 +17270)/3
= 57088/3 = 19029.33 19029
