SECTION - IV
GENERAL ABILITIES
(30 Marks)
46. Which of the following ways is not a correct method of writing 95 +

95 + 95?
(A) 95 x 3 (B) (90 x 3) + (5 x 3)
(C) (100 x 3) - (5 x 3) (D) 90 + 5 x 3
SOLUTION
95 + 95 + 95 = 285. Choice A, B and C are written to also equal 285.
Choice D, however, does not equal 285. Following the order of
operations (Parentheses, exponents, multiplication + division, addition
+ subtraction), multiplication comes before addition when solving a
problem. 90 + 5 x 3 is really equal to 90 + 15, which equals 105. D is
not a correct method of writing 95 + 95 + 95.
47. What decimal of an hour is a second?

(A) 0.0025 (B) 0.0256
(C) 0.00027 (D) 0.000126

1 1
Required decimal = = = 0.00027
60 X 60 3600
48. When 0.232323..... is converted into a fraction, then the result is:
(A) 1/5 (B) 2/9
(C) 23/100 (D) 23/99

(A) 47.095 (B) 47.752
(C) 47.932 (D) 47.950
SOLUTION
Let 3889 + 12.952 - x = 3854.002.
Then x = (3889 + 12.952) - 3854.002 = 3901.952 - 3854.002
= 47.950

50. A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 40% apples and still has
420 apples. Originally, he had:
(A) 588 apples (B) 600 apples
(C) 672 apples (D) 700 apples
SOLUTION
Suppose originally he had Y apples.
Then, (100 - 40)% of Y = 420
(60/100) x Y = 420
By cross multiplication:
Y = (420 x 100)/100 = 700
51. A student multiplied a number by 3/5 instead of 5/3. What is the

percentage error in the calculation?
(A) 54% (B) 64%
(C) 44% (D) 34%
SOLUTION
Let the number be Z
Then, error = (5/3)Z – (3/5)Z = (16/15)Z
Error% = [ (16/15Z) x (3/5Z) x 100 ]% = 64%
52. The L.C.M. of two numbers is 48. The numbers are in the ratio 2 : 3.
Then sum of the number is:
(A) 28 (B) 32
(C) 40 (D) 64
SOLUTION
Let the numbers be 2x and 3x
Then, their L.C.M. = 6x.
So, 6x = 48 or x = 8
The numbers are 16 and 24
Hence, required sum = (16 + 24) = 40

53. Find the highest common factor of 36 and 84.

(A) 4 (B) 6
(C) 12 (D) 18
SOLUTION
36 = 22 x 32
84 = 22 x 3 x 7
H.C.F. = 22 x 3 = 12
54. The average weight of A, B and C is 45 kg. If the average weight of

A and B be 40 kg and that of B and C be 43 kg, then the weight of B is:
(A) 17 KG (B) 20 KG
(C) 26 KG (D) 31 KG
SOLUTION
Let A, B, C represent their respective weights. Then, we have:
A + B + C = (45 x 3) = 135 .... (i)
A + B = (40 x 2) = 80 .... (ii)
B + C = (43 x 2) = 86 ....(iii)
Adding (ii) and (iii), we get: A + 2B + C = 166 .... (iv)
Subtracting (i) from (iv), we get : B = 31.
B's weight = 31 kg
55. The average age of husband, wife and their child 3 years ago was
27 years and that of wife and the child 5 years ago was 20 years. The
present age of the husband is:
(A) 40 (B) 35
(C) 50 (D) 45
SOLUTION
Sum of the present ages of husband, wife and child = [(27 x 3) + (3 x 3)]
years = 90 years.
Sum of the present ages of wife and child = [(20 x 2) + (5 x 2)] years =
50 years.
Husband's present age = (90 - 50) years = 40 years

56. In a flight of 600 km, an aircraft was slowed down due to bad

(C) 3 Hours (D) 4 Hours
SOLUTION
57. Javed consumes 1 carton of eggs every 10 days. Each carton of

be able to consume eggs if minimum allowed purchasing is 1 carton?
(A) 30 Days (B) 40 Days
(C) 50 Days (D) 60 Days
SOLUTION
No. of egg carton which can be purchased = Rs.2000 / Rs.350 = 5.71
cartons. Minimum allowed quantity is 1 carton, therefore, he can
purchase 5 cartons.
Hence number of days = 5 cartons x 10 = 50 days.
58. Every day, a Tik Tokker gains 20 more subscribers than he gained
the previous day. If a new Tik Tokker gained 100 subscribers after
their first day, how many total subscribers will they have after 5 days?

and to 854 in 4 years. The principal amount is:
(A) 650 (B) 690
(C) 698 (D) 700
SOLUTION
SI for 1 year = (854 - 815) = 39.
SI for 3 years = (39 x 3) = 117.
Principal = (815 - 117) = 698

61. Raheela took a loan of 1200 with simple interest for as many years
as the rate of interest. If she paid 432 as interest at the end of the loan
period, what was the rate of interest(%)?
(A) 3.6 (B) 6
(C) 18 (D) cannot be determined
SOLUTION
Let rate = R% and time = R years.
Then, (1200 x R x R)/100 = 432
12R² = 432,
R² = 36
R = 6%
62. You have an investment offer where you would invest Rs.25,000 in
a project and after 10 years you can sell the investment. You would
earn 5% paid annually. How much would you have at the end of year

marks. The marks obtained by them are:
(A) 39, 30 (B) 41, 32
(C) 42, 33 (D) 43, 34
SOLUTION
Let their marks be (x + 9) and x.
Then, x + 9 = 56/100(x + 9 + x)
25(x + 9) = 14(2x + 9)
3x = 99
x = 33
So, their marks are 42 and 33.

64. What percentage of numbers from 1 to 70 have 1 or 9 in the unit's

digit?
(A) 20% (B) 21%
(C) 24% (D) 25%
