Total exports = 60 + 45 + 50 + 70 + 40 + 55 = 320 15% of 320000 = 48000 Two years less 70 60 3. Required percent = 100 = 16.67% 60 4. Exports of rice in 2008 = 50000 tonnes with an increment of 25%, it becomes 125 50000 = 62500 100 Contribution of D = 20% of 62500 = 12500 tonnes 5. Required ratio = 15% : 30% = 1 : 2 6. Let the distance be x km. x x 15 = x = 50 km 40 50 60 Shortcut: Distance = Product of speeds Difference in time Difference of speeds 40 50 15 = 50 km 10 60 7. When 'n' teams participate, the total number n (n 1) of matches = 2 n (n 1) = 171 n = 19 2 Note: Instead of solving the equation, sub- stitute 'n' value in the given options and check. 8. The average marks (1 50) + (1 65) + (1 45) + (2 80) = 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 320 = = 64 5 9. Total of 15 numbers = 15 32 = 480 Total of first 8 numbers = 8 41 = 328 Total of last 8 numbers = 8 25 = 200 Total of 16 numbers = 328 + 200 = 528 8 th number = 528 480 = 48 Shortcut : Increment in the first 8 numbers = 8 (41 32) = 72 Decrement in the last 8 numbers = 8 (32 25) = 56 Total increment = 72 56 = 16 8 th number = 32 + 16 = 48 10. Difference between Simple & Compound P R 2 Interest for 2 years = 100 2 where P = Principal, R = Rate of interest P 6 2 = 86.40 100 2 86.40 10000 P = = 24000 6 6 101.50 E 11. 45 = 100 E 45E = 10150 100E 145E = 10150 10150 E = = 70 145 Shortcut: Expenditure is always 100%. Profit is 45% means income will be 145%. If 145% = Rs.101.50 lakhs, then 100 100% = 101.50 = Rs.70 lakhs 145 12. 100% value (Expenditure) is Rs.76 lakhs, 170 170% value (Income) = 76 100 = Rs.129.20 lakhs 13. Profit% for 2010 & 2013 is 60% 160 Income = 120 = Rs.192 lakhs 100 15. As profit percents for both the years are different, it can't be determined. 16. 172 17 = 155; 155 34 = 121 121 51 = 70 70 68 = 2 2 85 = 83 1 1 1 17. = 4 2 8 1 3 3 = 8 4 32 3 3 1 = 32 32 3 5 15 = 32 4 128 15 3 45 = 128 2 256 18. 4.2 + 2 = 6.2 6.2 3 = 18.6 18.6 + 2 = 20.6 20.6 3 = 61.8 61.8 + 2 = 63.8 Explanations (Writer - Director, RACE Institute, Hyderabad) Quantitative Aptitude Exports of Rice 19. 5 1 2 = 3 3 4 3 = 9 9 9 4 = 77 77 16 5 = 1227 1227 25 6 = 30669 20. 7 3 1 = 342 6 3 + 2 = 218 5 3 3 = 122 4 3 + 4 = 68 3 3 5 = 22 2 3 + 6 = 14 Percentage of profit A 30% B 25% C 15% D 20% E 10% a-.. coe. ecoe . .... .... ...,. .... .:.:. ..: .. ... ... :... ..: .:. .i .. . . . , .. ..... . ... .. ... . ..... ... . ... ... .,/ ... ., ... ... / . .. . ..... .. . . :.. .. . c.. .: it e.. .... www.imu.edu.in ..e- ..... :. .... .. . . ..: .. ... .... ....: .:. .. .. :.., . ... . .... ... .... ., ., / . ... ......, .,.. .. .... ., . .. . . .. ...... . . ... ... .... ... ... .. e... ..:. :.. ../ ... . ..,. ...... .... ...t ., ... ./ ..:.... .... .... .... . c.. .: zs .... .... www.serp.telangana.gov.in
