Question 15 Bala buys an equal number of pens, pencils, sketch pens of Rs.2.50, Rs.3, Rs.5 respectively. How many of each did he buy if he spends Rs.168 ?
a)12
b)16
c)18
d)20
Answer: b)16
Solution:
Let us assume that he buy X number of pens, pencils and sketch pens.
Then 2.50 x X + 3 x X + 5 x X = 168
10.50X = 168
X = 168 / 10.5 = 16
Hence he buys 16 numbers of pencils, pens, sketch pens respectively.
Question 16 Prabha and Aarthi paid a total of Rs.600 for some good. If Prabha paid 120 more than that of Aarthi, then how much is already paid?
a)Rs.250
b)Rs.150
c)RS.550
d)Rs.240
Answer : d)Rs.240
Solution :
Let the amount paid by Aarthi be Rs.X
Then, the amount paid by Prabha = Rs. X + 120
The total amount paid = Rs.600 = X + X + 120 = 2X + 120 = X = 240
Thus the amount paid by Aarthi is Rs.240
Question 17 A fruit seller had some apples. He sells 30% apples at the rate of Rs.30 per apple and the remaining 315 apples at the rate of Rs.20 per apple. The total selling price is :
a)Rs.15900
b)Rs.10350
c)RS.11550
d)Rs.12420
Answer :b)Rs.10350
Solution :
Let the total number of apples be X.
Then X = 30X / 100 + 315
70X / 100 = 315
X=3150 / 7 = 450
Now 30% of X = 30 x 450 / 100 = 135
He sells 135 apples at the rate of Rs.30 per apple and 315 at the rate of Rs.20 per apple
Then the total selling price = 135 x 30 + 315 x 20 = 4050 + 6300 =Rs.10350
Hence the answer is Rs.10350
Question 18 Devi buys some material worth Rs.X.She gets a deduction of Rs.650 on it. After getting deduction she pays tax of Rs.169. Then find X the value if she pays Rs.6000 for that material.
a)Rs.6481
b)Rs.5689
c)RS.6819
d)Rs.5181
Answer :Rs.6481
Solution :
Let the total amount be Rs.X
After getting deduction the amount will be X - 650
And after paying the tax Rs.169,
Rs.6000 = X - 650 + 169 = X - 481.
X =6481
Hence she buys material worth Rs.6481
Question 19 If two-third of two-seventh of a number is 60, then two-fifteenth of that number is
a)60 b)42 c)315 d)21
Answer : b)42
Solution :
Let the number be X.
Then 2/3 x 2/7 x X =60
X = 60 x 7 x 3 / 4 = 315
Then, 2/15 of 315 = 2/15 x 315 = 42.
Hence the required number is 42
Question 20 Two times of the third of three consecutive even integers is three times of the first. Then the second integer is
a)60
b)42
c)10
d)12
Answer : c)10
Solution :
Let the consecutive three integers be X, X + 2 and X + 4
Then, 2(X + 4) = 3X
X = 8
Now X + 2 = 10
The required second integer is 10
Question 21 Find the integer which when decreased by 2 is 80 times the reciprocal of the same number
a)60
b)42
c)10
d)12
Answer : c)10
Solution :
Let the number be X
Decreasing 2 from X
X - 2 = 80 x (1/X)
X^2 - 2X = 80
X^2 -2x -80 = 0
(X-10)(X+8) = 0
x=10,-8
X has two values, but among the given options X value should be 10

Question 33 A train of length 150 meters can cross a bridge in 40 seconds when travelling at a speed of 40km/hr. Then what is the length of the bridge?
a)180m
b)182
c)183
d)185
Answer : c)183
Solution:
Let the length of the bridge be X.
The speed of the train = 40km/hr = 40 x 5/18 m/sec = 100/9 m/sec.
The time taken to cross the bridge = 40 seconds.
Then, [150 + X ] / 30 = 100/9
150 + X = 3000 /9
X = 3000/9 - 150 = 1650/9 = 183.33
Hence the answer is 183 m.
Question 34 A train crosses a bridge and a bike standing on the bridge in 40 seconds, 25 seconds respectively. What is the length of the bridge if the speed of the train is 50.4km/hr?
a)180m
b)210
c)183
d)185
Answer : b)210
Solution:
Given that,
The speed of the train = 50.4km/hr = 50.4 x 5/18 m/sec = 14 m/sec
The train crosses a bike(standing object) in 25 seconds.Then,
Length of the train = (14 x 25)m = 350 m.
Now, let the length of the bridge is X m.
the train crosses the bridge in 40 seconds.
Then, (X + 350)/40 = 14
X + 350 = 14 x 40 = 560
X = 210
Hence the bridge is 210m long.
Question 35 In what time a train 120 meters long travelling at a speed of 70km/hr crosses a cyclist who is at the speed 5km/hr in the direction opposite to the train?
a)4.76sec
b)5.76sec
c)8.92sec
d)6.14sec
Answer : b)5.76sec
Solution:
Given that the speed of the train and a cyclist is 70km/hr and 5km/hr respectively.
Then, the Speed of train relative to cyclist = (70 + 5) km/hr = 75 km/hr = 75 x 5/18 = 125/6 m/sec.
The time taken to cross the cyclist = 120 / (125/6) = 120 x 6/125 =5.76 sec
hence the answer is 5.76 seconds.
