Solutions

1. Total number of Non-fiction and GK books sold byStores C= 88500*(20/100)*15/30=

17700*15/30=8850 (1)
Total number of Non-fiction and GK books sold by Stores E= 88500*(25/100)=
14750*18/27= 14750 (2)
Total number of Non-fiction and GK books sold by Stores C and Etogether= (1) + (2)
=23,600 (A)
Number of Fiction and GK Books sold by Store A, B, and D
A= 17700*15/20= 13275
B= 26550*8/15= 14160
D= 13275*9/15= 7965
Total= 13275+14160+7965= 35,400
Difference between the number of Fiction and GK Books sold by Store A, B, and D together
and the number of Non-fiction and GK books sold by Stores C and E= 35,400-23600=
11,800. (B)
Percentage= (B/A)*100= (11,800/23600)*100= 50%
2. Average number of Fiction and GK Books sold by Store A, B, and D together
= Total/3
=35400/3= 11,800
Total number of books sold by Stores C, D, and E= 10%+15%+25% of total sales
= 50% of 88,500
= 44,250
Percentage= (11800/44250)*100= 26.67%
3. Non-fiction sold by
A= (5/20)*20% of 88500= 4425
B= (7/15)*30% of 88500= 12390
C= (8/30)*10% of 88500= 2360
D= (6/15)*15% of 88500= 5310
E= (8/27)*25% of 88500= 6556 (Appox)
Answer is B,D and E= 3 stores

4. Total business of C=Rs.120,360

Total number of books sold by Store C= 10% of 88500= 8850
Number of fiction= (15/30)*8850= 4425 (Total Cost= 4425*Rs.15.50= Rs.68587.5 (1)
Number of non-fiction= (8/30)*8850= 2360(Total Cost= Unknown) (2)
Number of GK books= (7/30)*8850= 2065(Total Cost= 2065*Rs.12.50= Rs.25812.5 (3)
Total Cost of non-fiction= Total business-(1)-(3)
Rs.120,360-Rs.68587.5-Rs.25812.5= 25960
(Total Cost of non-fiction /Number of non-fiction)= Price per copy= 25960/2360= Rs. 11

5. Price of fiction and non-fiction is increased by 10%

Now fiction will cost Rs. 17.05, non-fiction Rs.12.1, and GK Rs.12.5 (Unchanged)
Total business of C will be equal to (4425*17.05 + 2360*12.1 + 2065*12.5)
= RS. 129,814.75

day provided that consumption of each LED is 0.2 units/day, CFL is 0.4units/day, and
incandescent bulb is 1 unit/day respectively?
a. 102.5
b. 102.4
c. 105.5
d. 115.5
e. 112.5

Answers: 1.c 2.c 3.a 4.e 5.b

Solutions

Perimeter of a square= 4*length of its one side

Ladies: 41.67% of 240= 100m (each side is 25m and area is 625m2)

Gents: 33.33% of 240= 80m (each side is 20m and area is 400m2)

Kids: 25% of 240= 60m (each side is 15m and area is 225m2)

From the above data we can arrive create the following table.
Bulb type Distribution Ladies Gents Kids Total
LED 1 per 5 m2 125 80 45 250
CFL 1 per 25 m2 25 16 9 50
Incandescent 1 per each 4m of 25 20 15 60
perimeter

1. Ratio between the areas of ladies, kids and gents sections is 625:225:400= 25:9:16 (c)

2. Area of gents section- Area of kids section= 400-225=175m2

Furnishing charge is Rs.125/m2

Expense for furnishing extra 175m2= 175*125= 21875 (c)

3. Cost for lighting up the ladies section = 125*80+ 25*75+ 25*12= Rs.12175 (a)

4. Percentage of the LED bulbs utilised to light up the kids section= (45/250)*100= 18% (e)

5. Total number of LED, CFL, and incandescent bulbs in ladies and gents section together is
205, 41, and 45 respectively.

Therefore the total electricity consumption in a day= 205*0.2+ 41*0.4+ 45*1

= 102.4 (b)

Working male and female population (in lakh) in various cities

 21) What is the difference between the number of working females in
Bangalore and the number of working males in Chennai?
a) 12.5 lakh b) 11 lakh c) 9 lakh
d) 12 lakh e) 10 lakh

22) In which city is the income per working person the minimum?
a) Delhi b) Jaipur c) Bangalore
d) Chennai e) Mumbai

23) What is the sum of the average working male and average working
female population of the given six cities (calculate approximate value)?
a) 63.35 lakh b) 49.96 lakh c) 51.48 lakh
d) 53.75 lakh e) 65.51 lakh

24) In Delhi, what is the difference between the income of males and that
of females? (Assume each person (male/female) has equal income.)
a) Rs.6.545 Crore b) Rs.5.055 Crore c) Rs.2.935 Crore
 d) Rs.3.455 Crore e) Rs.4.565 Crore

25) The number of working females in Mumbai is what percent of the

number of working males in Bangalore?
a) 95% b) 110% c) 120%
d) 132% e) 144%

Answers
1. Option E

The difference between the working females in Bangalore and the working
males in Chennai = 32.5 22.5 = 10 lakh

2. Option B

Income per working person = Total income of city / Number of working

people in city

Income per working person in Delhi = 200 Crore x 36/100 / (30+25) Lakh
= 72 / (72/55)*100 = Rs.130.9

In Chennai = 200 x 16/100 / (22.5+17.5) Lakh = Rs.80

In Mumbai = 200 x 20/100 / (35+30) Lakh = Rs.61.53

In Kolkata = 200 x 14/100 / (30+32.5) Lakh = Rs.44.8

In Bangalore = 200 x 10/100 / (25+32.5) Lakh = Rs.34.78

In Jaipur = 200 x 4/100 / (17.5+25) Lakh = Rs.18.82

The income per working person in Jaipur is the minimum.

3. Option D

Average number of working males = 1/6 (30 + 22.5 + 35 + 30 + 25 +

17.5) = 26.66 lakh
Average number of working females = 1/6 (25 + 17.5 + 30 + 32.5 +
32.5 + 25) =27.08 lakh
So, required sum = 26.66 + 27.08 = 53.75 lakh

4. Option A
Total income of Delhi = [200 36/100] = Rs.72 Crore
Income per person = 72 Crore / 55 Lakh = Rs.130.9
So, required difference of income = 5 lakh 130.9 = Rs.654.5 lakh
= Rs.6.545 Crore

5. Option C
Required % = 30/25 100 = 120%

47. In what ratio must a person mix three kind of tea each of which has a price of 70, 80 and
120 rupees per kg, in such a way that the mixture costs him 100 rupees per kg?

A) 2:3:5. B) 2:5:5 C) 2:1:4 D) 2:2:5 E) None Of These

Solution:
Here the prices of tea are 70, 80 and 120 And mean price is 100.

Here, prices LOWER than the mean are 70 and 80. And prices HIGHER than the mean is
120.

Thus possible pairs which can give mean value of 100 is: {70, 120} and {80, 120}

Let us denote tea of Rs. 70 with t70

, tea of Rs. 80 with t80 and tea of Rs. 120 with t120

We apply the old alligation rule to ALL (two in this case) the pairs
For the 1st pair (t70, t120)

t70:t120=20:30

Similarly, for the 2st pair (t80, t120)

t80:t120=20:20

t80:t120=20:20

Thus, Final ratio:

t70:t80:t120=20:20:(30+20)

t70:t80:t120=2:2:5

Note:
It's best to simplify the intermediate ratios at the end, else you may get wrong answer.
Here, if we had simplified the ratio to be, t70:t120=2:3

after first pair and t80:t120=1:1 after second pair.We could have easily gone to

calculate ratio to be, t70:t80:t120=2:1:(3+1) or t70:t80:t120=2:1:4 which is

different from the final ratio (t70:t80:t120=2:2:5)

48 .A company instead of raising the mark-up by 20% discounted the cost price by 20%
while stitching the price tag on its product. Further the company offers a discount of
6.25% to its customer. In this process company incurs a loss of Rs. 37.5 on a single
article. What is the selling price of that article?
(a)417.5
(b)112.5
(c)365.5
(d)412.5
(e)None of these
Answer:
(b) Let CP = 100
So, Tag Price = 80
SP after discount = 80
Total loss = 100 = 25
When loss 25 then CP = 100
So, When loss 37.5 then CP
=
So, SP = CP Loss
= 150-37.5= 112.5.
