⇒                             [64 - 169 + 64]2 = ?
⇒                                           (-41)2 = ?
∴                                                  ? =  1681     (∵- x - ⇒ +)
                                                       ≈ 1660

(3) 460
(4) 500
(5) 420    (Ans)
Ans :  601/49 x 399/81 ÷ 29/201 = ?
⇒       601/49 x 399/81 x 201/29 = ?
⇒       600/50 x 400/80 x 200/30 = ?
∴        400 = ?
           420 ≈ ?

Directions (Q. Nos. 16 to 20) In the following questions, two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations and give answer
(1) if x > y
(2) if x ≥ y
(3) if x < y
(4) if x ≤ y
(5) if x = y or the relationship cannot be established
Ans :
16.  I.  x2 - 11x + 24 = 0
       II.  2y2 - 9y + 9 = 0
 
Ans : 2     I.  x2 - 11x + 24 = 0
              x2 - 8x - 3x + 24 = 0
            x (x - 8) - 3 (x - 8) = 0
                    (x - 8)(x - 3) = 0
∴        x = 8 or 3
 
II.       2y2 - 9y + 9 = 0
    2y2 - 6y - 3y + 9 = 0
 2y(y - 3) - 3 (y - 3) = 0
       (2y - 3) (y - 3) = 0
∴        y = 3/2 or 3
So,      x ≥ y

17.  I.  x3 * 13 =  x2 * 247 
       II.  y1/3 * 14  = 294 ÷ y2/3
 
Ans : 3    I.  x3 * 13 =  x2 * 247 
or x3 / x2  = 247/13
x = 19

II.          y1/3 * 14  = 294 ÷ y2/3    
or,   (y)1/3 * (y)2/3  = 294/14
or,          (y)1/3+2/3 = 21
∴                      y = 21
So,                     y > x


18.  I. 12 *  4 / x4/7 -  3 * 4 / x4/7 =  x10/7
       II.  y3 + 783 = 999
 
Ans : 4     I. 12 *  4 / x4/7 -  3 * 4 / x4/7 =  x10/7
or,         48 - 12 = (x)10/7 * (x)4/7
or,         36 = (x)7     = (x)2
∴           x = ±6
 
II.          y3 + 783 = 999
                     y3 = 999 - 783
                     y3 = 216
∴                  y = ±6
∴                  y ≥ x

19.  I. √500 x + √402 = 0
       II. √360 y + (200)1/2 = 0
 
Ans : 5      I. √500 x + √402 = 0
or,                           √500 x = - √402
By squaring both sides, we get
         500 x= 402
                 x = √402 /500 = ± 0.897

II. √360 y + (200)1/2 = 0
or,              (200)1/2 = - √360 y
By squaring both sides, we get
 Solutions - Qn Ans -119    = (-√360 y)2
                200 = 360 y2
                    y = √200/360 = ± 0.75
relationship cannot established.

20.  I. (17)2 + 114 ÷ 18 = x
       II. (26)2 - 18 * 21 = y
Ans : 3        I. (17)2 + 114 ÷ 18 = x
                                 289 + 8 = x
∴                                        x = 297

II. (26)2 - 18 * 21 = y
           676 - 378 = y
∴                298 = y
So,                  y > x

21. The respective ratio between the present age of Ram and Rakesh is 6 : 11. Four years ago, the ratio of their ages was 1 : 2  respectively. What will be Rakesh's age after five years?
(1) 45 years
(2) 29 years
(3) 49 years    (Ans)
(4) Cannot be determined
(5) None of these
Ans : Let the age of Ram = x and Rakesh = y then x/y = 6/11
∴  x = 6y/11
According to question,  x - 4/y - 4 = 1/2
                                       2x - 8 = y - 4
                             2 * 6y/11 - 8 = y - 4
                                 12y/11 - y = - 4 + 8
                                         y/11 = 4
∴                                           y =  44 yr
∴   Age of Rakesh after 5 yr
                                   = 44 + 5 = 49 yr

22. The circumference of two circles is 83 m and 220 m respectively. What is the difference between the area of the larger circle and the smaller circle?
(1) 3422 sq m
(2) 3242 sq m
(3) 3244 sp m  
(4) 3424 sq m
(5) None of these     (Ans)
Ans :  2 π r = 88
          r = 88 * 7/44  = 14 m
     Area = π r2
                = 22/7 * 14 * 14
                = 616 m2
        2π r1 = 220
             r1 =  220 * 7/2 * 22 = 35 m
∴    Area = π r12 = 22/7 * 35 * 35 = 3850 m2
Difference = 3850  -  616 = 3234 m2

23. One of the angles of a triangle is two-third angle of sum of adjacent angles of parallelogram. Remaining angles of the triangle are in ratio 5 : 7 respectively. What is the value of second largest angle of the triangle?
(1) 250
(2) 400
(3) 350   (Ans)
(4) Cannot be determined
(5) None of these
Ans :  An angle of a triangle = 2/3 * 1800 = 1200
Remaining 1800 - 1200 = 600 is the ratio of 5 : 7.
So,               5x + 7x  = 60
                          12x = 60
                             x = 5
So, angles are 5 * 5 = 250
and 7 * 5 = 350
and         1200
So, value of second largest angle of triangle is 350 .

24. Pradeep invested 20% more than Mohit. Mohit invested 10% less than Raghu. If the total sum of their investment is Rs. 17880, how much amount did Raghu invest?
(1) Rs.6000  (Ans)
(2) Rs.8000
(3) Rs.7000
(4) Rs.5000
(5) None of these
Ans :  Let the investment by Raghu = x
then Mohit = x * 90/100 = 9x/10
Pradeep = 9x/10 * 120/100 = 108x/100
According to question, x + 9x/10 + 108x/100 = 17880
100x + 90x + 108x/100 = 17880
298x/100 = 17880
x = 6000

25. Average score of Rahul, Manish and Suresh is 63. Rahul's score is 15 less than Ajay and 10 more than the average scores of Rahul, Manish and Suresh, what is he sum of Manish's and Suresh's scores ?
(1) 120
(2) 111  (Ans)
(3) 117
(4) Cannot be determined
(5) None of these
Ans : Let the score of Ajay = x
            Rahul              = x - 15
            Manish            = x - 25
According to question, x = 63 + 30
∴                             x = 93
∴  Score of Ajay           = 93
then Rahul                   = 93 - 15 =78
then Manish                 = 93 - 25 = 68
Total marks of Rahul, Manish and Suresh = 3 * 63 = 189
∴    Suresh = 189 - (78 + 68) = 43
∴    Manish + Suresh = 68 + 43 = 111


26. Fifty-three per cent of a number is 358 less than the square of 26. What is the value of three-fourth of 23 per cent of that number?
(1) 101
(2) 109.5
(3) 113
(4) 103.5 (Ans)
(5) None of these
 
Ans : (26)2 - 358 = x * 53/100
                  318 = x * 53/100
∴                   x = 600
Again 600 * 3/4 * 23/100 = 103.5

27. The average speed of a car is 1 4/5 times the average speed of a bus. A tractor covers 575 km in 23 hours. How much distance will  the car cover in 4 hours if the speed of the bus is twice speed of the tractor?
(1) 340 km
(2) 480 km
(3) 360 km  (Ans)
(4) 450 km
(5) None of these
Ans : Average speed of a tractor =575/23 = 25 km/h
The speed of a bus in an hour = 25 * 2 = 50 km
The speed of a car in an hour = 50 * 9/5 = 90 km
So, the distance covered by car in 4 h is
                               90 * 4 = 360 km

28. The simple interest accrued on a sum of certain principal is Rs.2000 in five years at the rate of 4% per annum. What would be the compound interest accrued on same principal at same rate in two years?
(1) Rs.716
(2) Rs.724
(3) Rs.824
(4) Rs.816 (Ans)
(5) None of these
Ans :  2000 = P * 4 * 5/100
∴    P = 10000
Now,     CI = 10000[(1 + 4/100)2 - 1]
                = 10000 * 0.0816
                = 816

29. Rehaan purchased a bike for Rs.54000. He sold it at a loss of 8 per cent. With that money he again purchased another bike and sold it at a profit of 10 per cent. What is his overall loss/profit?
(1) Loss of Rs.657
(2) Profit of Rs.567
(3) Loss of Rs.648
(4) Profit of Rs.648 (Ans)
(5) None of these
Ans :  Cost price = 54000
Selling price = 54000 * (100-8)/100 = 49680
Now, the cost price of another bike = 49680
Selling price of another bike = 49680 * 110/100 = 54648
Overall profit = 54648 - 54000 = 648

30. Two men alone or three women alone can complete a piece of work in 4 days. In how many days can one woman and one man together complete the same piece of work?
(1) 6 days 
(2) 24/5 days  (Ans)
(3) 12/1.75 days
(4) Cannot be determined
(5) None of these
Ans :  2M = 3W
∴   1M = 3/2 W
∴   1M + 1W = 3/2 W + 1W = 5/2 W
Number of days = 3 * 4/5/2 = 24/5 days

Total number of employees working in the companies in the year 2007 together
= 650 + 400+ 500 + 150 + 650 + 500 + 700 + 600 = 4150
