Q1 - B Explanation/Solution:-

Explanation/Solution:- Q4 - B

Probability of drawing two black colour balls Explanation/Solution:-


from bag A = 8C2/50C2 C.P of 1 kg of Mixed Wheat
= (8 * 7)/(50 * 49) = 4/175 = (4*40 + 6*50)/(4 + 6) = Rs 46
Probability of drawing two blue colour balls S.P of 1 kg of Mixed Wheat
from bag B = 4C2/40C2
= 60(1 - 10/100)(1 - 10/100)
= (4 * 3)/(40 * 39) = 1/130
= Rs 48.60
Required ratio = (4/175): (1/130) = 104: 35
Profit% = ((48.60 - 46)/46)*100 = 130/23%
Q2 - B
∴ x/23 = 130/23
Explanation/Solution:-
=> x = 130
Probability of drawing one red ball from bag
B = 8/40 = 1/5 C.P of 1 kg of Mixed Rice = (1*100 + 1*60 +
2*40)/(1 + 1 + 2) = Rs 60
Probability of drawing one yellow ball from
bag A = 16/50 = 8/25 Let it be Marked-up by z%
Required probability = (1/5) * (8/25) = Given, z = y/9
8/125
M.P of 1 kg of Mixed Rice = 40(1 + z/100)
Q3 - D
S.P of 1 kg of Mixed Rice = 40(1 + z/100)(1
Explanation/Solution:- - 10/100)(1 - 25/100)
Remaining balls in bag A = 50 - 10 = 40 = 27(1 + z/100)
Probability of selecting a blue ball from bag A For no profit or loss,
= 3/20
S.P = C.P
So, after transferring number of blue balls in
bag A = 40 * (3/20) = 6 => 27(1 + z/100) = 60
Total blue balls transferred from bag A to bag => 1 + z/100 = 60/27
B = (10 - 6) = 4
=> z/100 = 11/9

=> z = 1100/9

∴ (y+200)/x = 1300/130 = 10 20
Q5 - A => ((56/100)*(b + 320))/b - 1 = 1/5
Explanation/Solution:- => ((56/100)*(b + 320))/b = 6/5
Let the C.P of the mixture be Rs 'a' kg. => 6b = 5*(56/100)*(b + 320)
M.P of Mixture = a(1 + 25/100) => 6b = 14b/5 + 896
S.P of Mixture = (125a/100)*(1 - 20/100)*(1 => 30b = 14b + 4480
- 10/100)
=> 16b = 4480
= (125a/100)*(80/100)*(90/100)
=> b = 280
= 9a/10
By Alligation Method:
Given, a - 9a/10 = 26

=> a/10 = 26

=> a = Rs 260

By Alligation Method:

Given, (y - 280)/80 = 3/2

=> 2y - 560 = 240

=> y = 400

=> (y - 10x)/13 = 390/13 = 30

By Alligation Method:
Required difference = 336 - 332.5 = Rs 3.5

Required Ratio = 13.5:3.5 = 27:7

Q7 - E

Explanation/Solution:-

Let the C.P of the Mixed Rice be Rs 'a'/kg

M.P of mixed rice = (a + 45)

S.P of Mixed Rice = (a + 45)(1 - 25/100)(1 -


20/100) = (3/5)*(a + 45)

The number of employees who like café
mocha is 10 less than the number of => 5b + d = 350 ---(5)
employees who like café Cubano
Adding equation (3) and (5), we get
So, (a + d + e + g) = (c + d + g + f) - 10
=> b = 60 and d = 50
=> a + e = c + f - 10 ---(2)
So, a = c = 130
The number of employees who like café
mocha and americano but not café Cubano is
half of the number of employees who like all
three kind of coffee

So, e = 1/2 * g = 1/2 * 40 = 20

Total population = 35% of 8000 = 2800
Total original fare collected the bus before
boarding of 'x' passengers = [8 * 120] + [2 * White + blue = 4500 - 200 - 1000 - 800 -
90] + [7 * 100] + [8 * 75] = 960 + 180 + 300 = 2200
700 + 600 = Rs.2440
Then, 2800 = 2X - 2.5Y + 2.5X - 3Y + 2200
Total original fare collected the bus after
boarding of 'x' passengers = [(7 + x) * 120] + 9X - 11Y = 1200
[3 * 90] + [7 * 100] + [8 * 75] = 2440 + For building E:

Explanation/Solution:-
Let total users in Nike = n
Total population = 8000
Then, total users in Adidas = n + 30
For building A:
So, 8000 = 1780 + n + n + 30 + 2270
Total population = 10% of 8000 = 800
n = 1960
White = 150, blue = 150 * 1/3 = 50
Code:
Then, 800 = 2X - 2.5Y + 2.5X - 3Y + 150 +
50 Total users = 1780
9X - 11Y = 1200 E = 250
For building B: B = 3C/2
Total population = 25% of 8000 = 2000 D = 2C
White + blue = 1000 A = (2X - 2.5Y)for building D - 20
Then, 2000 = 2X - 2.5Y + 2.5X - 3Y + 1000 Nike:
9X - 11Y = 2000 Total users = 1960
For building C: B = 6% of 8000 = 480
Total population = 15% of 8000 = 1200 E = 480 - 200 = 280
White + blue = 150 + 100 + 550 = 800 A = 5C/4
Then, 1200 = 2X - 2.5Y + 2.5X - 3Y + 800 Adidas:
9X - 11Y = 800 Total users = 1960 + 30 = 1990

C = 9D/10 Explanation/Solution:-

B = (2.5X - 3Y)for building B + 50 For building D:

A = females in building A - 80 Y = 1200

E = 270 Then, 9X - 11 * 1200 = 1200

Levis: X = 1600

Total users = 2270 Now, for Code:

C = 300 Number of Code users in building A = (2 *


1600 - 2.5 * 1200) - 20 = 180
D = 4 * (150 + 100) = 1000
Now, 1780 = 180 + (3C/2) + C + 2C + 250
Then, E = 1200 - 250 - 280 - 270 = 400
C = 300
B = (2X - 2.5Y)for building E + 45
Then, D = 2 * 300 = 600
Q35 - C

Explanation/Solution:- D together = 180 + 600 = 780
For building A: For Levis:
350 = 2.5X - 3Y Number of Levis users in building C and E
together = 300 + 400 = 700
And, 9X - 11Y = 1200
Therefore, ratio = 780: 700 = 39: 35
Then, X = 500, Y = 300
Q37 - B
For building B:
Explanation/Solution:-
9X - 11Y = 2000
Levis users:
And, 2X - 2.5Y = 1000 * 2/5
A = 5B/14
Then, X = 1200, Y = 800
Then, 2270 = (5B/14) + B + 300 + 1000 +
Now, Adidas uses from building A = females 400
in building A - 80
B = 420
= 300 - 80 = 220
Now, for building E:
Adidas users from building B = (2.5X - 3Y)for
building B + 50 420 = (2X - 2.5Y) + 45
= 1000 * 3/5 + 50 2X - 2.5Y = 375
= 650 And, 9X - 11Y = 1800
Therefore, difference = 650 - 220 = 430 So, X = 750, Y = 450

Then, from (i), we have
Number of male users of Code, Nike and
Levis in building E = 250 + 280 + 400 - 1470000 = 22A - 840000
499 = 431
A = 105000
Number of female users of Code, Nike and
Levis in building C = 800 - 431 - 24 = 345 Then, C = 840000/105000 = 8

Therefore, difference = 431 - 345 = 86 C=8

=> m = 2a ----(2)
After 1 year,
From II:

3b = Rs. 6000
61
100 Mains Level DI Questions Free PDF for PO & Clerk Mains

=> b = 2000 ----(3) Hence, Mohit's share of profit in catering


business = 110/427 * 854000 = Rs.
And, 3 * 2d = 6000 220000
=> d = 1000 ----(4) In Garment business,
From III: Ratio of profit of Mohit, Rohan, Prakash and
Megha
5c = 5m
= (48m + 12n + 14k) : (42m + 15n/2) :
=> c = m ----(5) (30m + 7n + 9k) : (19m + 12n + 6k)
From IV: = (96000 + 48000 + 84000) : (84000 +
4m = 2/3 * 2k 30000) : (60000 + 28000 + 54000) :
(38000 + 48000 + 36000)
=> m = k/3 ----(6)
= 228000: 114000: 142000: 122000
And, 5m = 7000 + 3a ---(7)
= 228: 114: 142: 122
From V:
= 114: 57: 71: 61
5m = 1/3 * 5k
Hence, Mohit share of profit in Garment

Therefore, total investment = 30000 +
20000 = Rs. 50000 Punit's profit = 95x/100 * 97/571
Q70 - D According to the question,
Explanation/Solution:- 5x/100 = 95x/100 * 97/571 - 254400
In catering business, => 95x/100 * 97/571 - 5x/100 = 254400 *
571
3b = 60% of 10a
=> 9215x - 2855x = 25440000 * 571
=> 3b = 3/5 * 10a
=> 6360x = 25440000 * 571
=> b = 2a ---(1)
=> x = 25440000/6360 * 571
And, 10a = 50% of 5c
=> x = 4000 * 571
=> 10a = 1/2 * 5c
=> x = Rs. 2284000
=> c = 4a ---(2)
Q71 - A
And, 4d = 4000
Explanation/Solution:-
=> d = 1000 ---(3)
4a = Rs. T ---(1)
And, 4a = 4000
And, T = 4d ---(2)
=> a = 1000 ---(4)
3b = T + 2000 ---(3)
From (1) and (4) we get
4c = 4T
b = 2000
=> c = T ---(4)

And, 4a - 3a = 1000 Overall capacity of Stage II = 6850 - 1850 -


2000 = 3000 MW
=> a = 1000
Total capacity of 250 MW units in Stage II =
From (1), we have 3000 - 5*200 - 2*500 = 1000 MW
T = 4000 Number of 250 MW units in Stage II =
1000/250 = 4
Thus, d = 1000
Let the number of 250 MW units in Stage I
And, from (3) we get be 'x'
3b = 4000 + 2000 Total capacity of 500 MW units in Stage I =
=> b = 2000 1850 - 3*200 - x*250 = (1250 - 250x) MW

Hence, c = 4000 So, Total capacity of 500 MW units in all


stages = (8/3)*(250x) = 2000x/3 MW

Q76 - D
Q78 - A
Explanation/Solution:-
Explanation/Solution:-
Let distance = 'D' km
According to the question:
According to the question:
(x/12) + (x/18) = a
(D/35) + (D/45) = 3.52
5x = 36a
(9D + 7D) = 3.52 * 315
3.75y = 36(b + 1.8) ...... (1) [x: y = 3: 4 and

Let changed speed of boat P in still water = (y/24) + (y/40) = b
'x' km/h
y = 15b ..... (2)
[69.3/(x + 5)] + [69.3(x - 5)] = 3.52 -
(43.2/60) = 2.8 From (1) and (2):

990(x - 5 + x + 5) = 40(x + 5)(x - 5) 3.75 * 15b = 36(b + 1.8)

1980x = 40x2 - 1000 56.25b = 36b + 64.8

40x2 - 1980x - 1000 = 0 20.25b = 64.8

x = 50 b = 3.2 and a = 5

Required per cent change = [(50 - 40)/40] * Distance travelled by boat S in downstream in

= (11/20) y = 5 km/h
Work done by Abhishek, Shruti and Satish in Time taken by Ramesh to finish the race =
one hour = (1/20) + (1/36) + (1/16) (400/5) * (1/1000) = 0.08 hours
= (36 + 20 + 45)/ (720) Distance covered by Mahesh in 0.08 hours =
(0.08 * 4) = 320 meters
= 101/720
Distance by which Ramesh beat Mahesh in
Work done in 216 minutes =3.6 x(101/720) the race = B = 400 - 320 - 50
=101/200
B = 30 meters
We have (11/20) = 253
Cost price of cycle = C% of 25000 = 250C
Then (101/200) =?
Amount invested in scheme = (25000 -
=> ? = ((253) x (101/200))/ (11/20) 250C)
=> ? = 232.3 Total worth of cycle after 2 years = (90% of
Explanation/Solution:- 90% of 250C) = 202.5C

Let the length of train B is 'x' meters. Total amount from the scheme after 2 years =
(25000 - 250C) + [{(25000 - 250C) * 20 *
According to the question: 2}/100] = (25000 - 250C) + (10000 -

Probability that he hit the target in an
attempt = (1/5) F = 3 km
Probability that he will win the game =
Probability of hitting the target in first
attempt + Probability of hitting the target in
second attempt + Probability of hitting the
target in third attempt

E = (1/5) + [(4/5) * (1/5)] + [(4/5) * (4/5) *


(1/5)]

E = (1/5) + (4/25) + (16/125)

E = 61/125
