Instructions
For the following questions answer them individually

Question 1

A group of 20 girls has average age of 12 years. Average of first 12 from the same group is 13 years and what is the average age of
other 8 girls in the group?

A 10

B 11

C 11.5

D Cannot be determined

E None of these

Answer: E

Explanation:
Let the age of each of the girl in the group be x1 , x2 , x3 , ....., x20 years

Average age of 20 girls = 12

(x1 +x2 +x3 +.....+x20 )
=> 20 = 12
=> (x1 + x2 + x3 + ..... + x20 ) = 12 × 20 = 240 ------------(i)

Average of first 12 girls = 13

(x1 +x2 +x2 +....+x12 )
=> 12 = 13
=> (x1 + x2 + x3 + ..... + x12 ) = 13 × 12 = 156 -----------(ii)

Subtracting equation (ii) from (i)

=> (x1 + x2 + x3 + ..... + x20 ) − (x1 + x2 + x3 + ..... + x12 ) = (240 − 156)

=> (x13 + x14 + ..... + x20 ) = 84

Dividing above equation by 8

(x13 +x14 +......+x20 ) 84
=> 8 = 8 = 10.5
=> Ans - (E)

Question 2

The total marks obtained by Jaya in the maths and Physics together are 50 more than the marks obtained by her in chemistry, if she
got 20 marks in the physics .What are her marks in maths?

A 20

B 40

C 80

D Cannot Determined

E None of these

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let marks obtained by Jaya in Physics, maths and chemistry respectively be p, m, c

Downloaded from cracku.in

Marks in physics, p = 20

According to ques, => m + p = c + 50

=> m + 20 = c + 50

=> m − c = 50 − 20 = 30

There is only 1 equation and 2 variables, thus we cannot determine the marks scored by her in maths or chemistry.

=> Ans - (D)

Question 3

Two chairs and three tables cost Rs 1025/- and 3 chairs and 2 tables cost is Rs 1,100/- .What is the difference between the cost one
table and chair?

A 75

B 35

C 125

D Cannot be determined

E None of these

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let cost price of 1 chair = Rs. x and cost price of 1 table = Rs. y

=> 2x + 3y = 1025 -----------(i)

and 3x + 2y = 1100 --------(ii)

Subtracting equation (i) from (ii)

=> (3x − 2x) + (2y − 3y) = (1100 − 1025)

=> x − y = 75

∴ Difference between the cost one table and chair = Rs. 75

=> Ans - (A)

Question 7

The difference between 42% of a number and 28% of the same number is 210.what is the 59% of that number

A 630

B 885

C 420

Downloaded from cracku.in

 900
D

E none of these

Answer: B

Explanation:
Let the number = 100x

Acc. to ques,
42 28
=> ( 100 × 100x) − ( 100 × 100x) = 210

=> 42x − 28x = 14x = 210

210
=> x = 14 = 15

=> Number = 100 × 15 = 1500

59
∴ 59 % of the number = 100 × 1500
= 885

Question 8

The average of the 5 consecutive even numbers A,B,C,D ,E is 52.what is the product of B & E

A 2912

B 2688

C 3024

D 2800

E NONE OF THESE

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let the five consecutive even numbers A,B,C,D ,E = (x − 4), (x − 2), (x), (x + 2), (x + 4) respectively.
A+B+C+D+E
Average = 5 = 52
=> (x − 4) + (x − 2) + (x) + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 52 × 5

=> 5x = 52 × 5
52×5
=> x = 5 = 52
=> B = 52 − 2 = 50 and E = 52 + 4 = 56

∴ Product of B & E = 50 × 56 = 2800

Question 9

Pinku, Rinku and Tinku divide an amount of 4200 amongst themselves in the ratio of 7:8:6 respectively. If an amount 200 is added to
their shares. What will be the new ratio?

A 8:9:6

B 7:9:5

C 7:8:6

D 8:9:7
E None of these
Answer: D
Downloaded from cracku.in
Explanation:
Let the amount received by Pinku, Rinku and Tinku respectively = 7x, 8x, 6x

Total amount = 7x + 8x + 6x = 4200

=> 21x = 4200

4200
=> x = 21 = 200

=> Amount with Pinku = 7*200 = 1400

Rinku = 8*200 = 1600

Tinku = 6*200 = 1200

If Rs. 200 is added to their shares, respective ratio

= (1400 + 200) : (1600 + 200) : (1200 + 200)

= 1600 : 1800 : 1400 = 8 : 9 : 7

Question 11

An article when sold for 960 fetches 20% profit.What would be the percent profit /loss if such 5 article are sold for Rs. 825/-each?

A 3.125 % profit

B 3.125 % loss

C Neither profit nor loss

D 16.5 % profit

E None of these

Answer: A

Explanation:
Let cost price of an article = Rs. 100x

Downloaded from cracku.in

If Selling price = Rs 960
960−100x
=> Profit % = 100x × 100 = 20
=> 960 − 100x = 20x

=> 20x + 100x = 120x = 960

960
=> x = 120 = 8

Thus, cost price of 1 article = 100 × 8 = Rs. 800

If selling price = Rs. 825

825−800
∴ Profit % = 800 × 100
25
= 8 = 3.125%

=> Ans - (A)

Question 12

The owner of an electronics shop charges his customers 22% more than the cost price .If the customer paid Rs 10,980 for DVD player
then the what was the cost price of that DVD?

A 8000

B 8800

C 9500

D 9200

E none of these

Answer: E

Explanation:
Let cost price = Rs.100x

Selling price = Rs. 10,980

10980−100x
=> Profit % = 100x × 100 = 22
=> 10980 − 100x = 22x

=> 22x + 100x = 122x = 10980

10980
=> x = 122 = 90

∴ Cost price = 100 × 90 = Rs.9000

=> Ans - (E)

Question 13

An item was bought at Rs. X and sold at Rs. Y, there by earning a profit of 20%. Had the value of X been 15% less and the value of Y
been Rs. 76 less, a profit of 30% would have been earned. What was the value of ‘X’

A Rs. 640

B Rs.400

C Rs.600

D Rs.800

Downloaded from cracku.in

 Rs.840
E

Answer: D

Explanation:
C.P. = Rs.x

S.P. = Rs.y
y−x
Profit % = x × 100 = 20
y−x 20 1
=> x = 100 = 5

=> 5y − 5x = x => 6x = 5y
6x
=> y = 5 -----------(i)

If, value of X been 15% less and the value of Y been Rs. 76 less
85 17x
=> x′ = 100 × x = 20

=> y′ = y − 76
y′−x′
Profit % = x′ × 100 = 30
17x
(y−76)−( 20 )
17x 30 3
=> 20 = 100 = 10

17x 17x
=> 10 × [(y − 76) − ( 20 ] = 3 × 20
170x 51x
=> 10y − 760 − 20 = 20
221x
=> 10y − 20 = 760

Using, equaiton (i), we get :

6x 221x
=> (10 × 5 ) − 20 = 760
221x
=> 12x − 20 = 760
19x
=> 20 = 760
20
=> x = 760 × 19

=> x = 40 × 20 = Rs.800

Question 14

Shri Ramlal purchased a TV set for Rs. 12,500 and spent Rs. 300 on transportation and Rs. 800 on installation. At what price should
he sell it so as to earn an overall profit of 15% ?

A Rs. 14,560

C Rs. 15,460

D Rs. 15,375

E None of these

Answer: E

Explanation:
Cost price of TV = Rs. 12,500

Amount spent on transportation = Rs. 300 and installation = Rs. 800

Net spent = Rs. (12500 + 300 + 800) = Rs. 13,600

Downloaded from cracku.in

Let selling price = Rs.x
x−13600
Profit % = 13600 × 100 = 15
=> x − 13600 = 15 × 136

=> x = 2040 + 13600

=> x = Rs. 15, 640

=> Ans - (E)

Question 15

A trader sells an item to a retailer at 20% discount, but charges 10% on the discounted price, for delivery and packaging. The retailer
sells it for Rs. 2046 more, thereby earning a profit of 25%. At what price had the trader marked the item?

A Rs. 9400

B Rs. 9000

C Rs. 8000

D Rs. 12000

E Rs. 9300

Answer: E

Explanation:
Let Marked price of item = Rs.100x
80 110
=> Selling price of trader = Cost price of retailer = 100x × 100 × 100

= Rs.88x

Selling price of retailer = Rs.(88x + 2046)

(88x+2046)−88x
Profit % = 88x × 100 = 25
2046 25 1
=> 88x = 100 = 4
2046×4
=> x = 88 = 93
∴ Marked price = 100 × 93 = Rs.9, 300
