Solutions:
1. B) Let the
number of coins of 50p , 25p and 10p be 5x, 9x and 4x
Therefore, (5x/2) + (9x/4) +
(4x/10) = 206 => x = 40
Hence, No of 50 p coins = 5x = 5 * 40
= 200; 25 p coins = 9x = 9*40= 360 and 10 p coins = 4x = 4*40=160
2. C) If the person who gets 1/4 of the
whole gets thrice of what the others get on an average,
each one will get =1/3×1/4=1/12 of
the whole.
Therefore, if there are k persons
other than the person who gets one-fourth, then
1/4 + k/12 = 1 ⇒ k=9
Hence, total number of people = 10.
3. B) Let the quantity of alcohol and water
be 4x litres and 3x litres respectively. Then,
4x/(3x + 5) = 4/5 => 20x = 12x +
20 => 8x = 20 => x = 5/2 = 2.5
Quantity of alcohol = (4 * 2.5) litres
= 10 litres.
4. B) Let the salaries of A, B, C be x, 2x
and 3x respectively.
Then,2x + 3x = 6000 => x = 1200.
A's salary = Rs. 1200, B's salary =
Rs. 2400, and Cs salary Rs. 3600.
Excess of C's salary over A's=[ (2400
/1200) x 100] = 200%.
5. C) Step (i): Let x be the number of boys
and y be the number of girls.
Given total number of boys and girls
= 100
x+y=100 -------------- (i)
Step (ii): A boy gets Rs. 3.60 and a
girl gets Rs. 2.40
The amount given to 100 boys and
girls = Rs. 312
3.60x + 2.40y = 312 --------------
(ii)
Step (iii):
Solving (i) and (ii)
3.60x + 3.60y = 360 ---------
Multiply (i) by 3.60
3.60x + 2.40y = 312 --------- (ii)
1.20y = 48
y = 48 / 1.20 = 40
=> Number of girls = 40
6. B) Originally, let the number of seats
for Mathematics, Physics and Biology be 5x, 7x and 8x respectively.
Number of increased seats are (140%
of 5x), (150% of 7x) and (175% of 8x).
⇒ [(140/100) × 5x],[(150/100) × 7x] and [(175/100) × 8x]
⇒ 7x, 21x/2 and 14x.
⇒ The required ratio =7x : 21x/2 : 14x
⇒ 14x : 21x : 28x
⇒ 2 : 3 : 4
7. C) Suppose the income of A and B is 5x
and 4x respectively and their expenditures is 3y and 2y respectively.
Therefore , 5x – 3y = 1600 and 4x –
2y = 1600 , On solving both the equations ,
x
= 800 , y = 800
Thus income of A = 5x = 5*800 = Rs
4000
8. D) Dog : Hare = (3*3) leaps of hare : 5
leaps of hare = 9 : 5.
9. B) The ratio of the ages of A and B is
3 : 5.
The ratio of the ages of B and C is 3
: 5.
B's age is the common link to both
these ratio. Therefore, if we make the numerical value of the ratio of B's age
in both the ratios same, then we can compare the ages of all 3 in a single
ratio.
The can be done by getting the value
of B in both ratios to be the LCM of 3 and 5 i.e., 15.
The first ratio between A and B will
therefore be 9 : 15 and
the second ratio between B and C will
be 15 : 25.
Now combining the two ratios, we get
A : B : C = 9 : 15 : 25.
Let their ages be 9x, 15x and 25x.
Then, the sum of their ages will be
9x + 15x + 25x = 49x
The question states that the sum of
their ages is 147.
i.e., 49x = 147 or x = 3.
Therefore, B's age = 15x = 15*3 = 45
10. C) If you double the sides of a cube,
the ratio of the surface areas of the old and new cubes will be 1: 4. The ratio
of the volumes of the old and new cubes will be 1: 8.
Weight is proportional to volume. So,
If the first weighs 6 pounds, the second weighs 6x8 pounds =48.
