Section III: Quantitative Aptitude

91. C; Let original price be P. then, P × 0.8 × 0.75 = 6000,
P = 10000 Rs. Hence, (c).
92. B; Let the total distance be 12a km.
CP/17/C23
One third of total distance is covered at a speed of 20km.

Hence time taken T1 = 4a/20 = a/5 hour
Similarly, T2 = 3a/30 = a/10 hour
And T3 = 5a/50 = a/10 hour
Average speed = Total distance / Total time = 12a/(a/5 + a/10 + a/10) = 12/(2/5) = 30kmph.
Hence, (b).
93. A; 12P + 18S = 10400  2P + 3S = 10440/6 = 1740
Now multiplying both sides by 3 we get, 6P + 9S = 5220. Hence, (a).
94. C; According to question Sunil : Anil = 4 : 5
Difference in ratio = 1  1 = 12  9 = 108
After 10 years the sum = 108 + 20 = 128 years. Hence, (c).
95. D; Let the length of train B be X. Then,
(X + 200)/45 = 200/20
(X + 200)/45 = 10, X + 200 = 450
X = 250mtrs. Hence, (d)
96. A; Work done by A on first day = 1/7, Work done by B on second day = 1/8
Work done by C on third day = 1/6
Portion of the work done after 3 days = 1/7 + 1/8 + 1/6 = 73/168
Work done after 6 days = 2 × 73/168 = 146/168
Remaining work = 22/168 = 11/84
Work done on 7th day by A = 1/7 = 12/84
Since 12/84 > 11/84, work will get completed on 7th day. Hence, (a).
97. B; Let the amount given at 4% per annum be Rs. X.
Therefore, Amount given at 5% per annum = Rs. (1200 – X)
So, (X × 4 × 2)/100 + ((1200 – X) × 5 × 2)/100 = 100.
X = 500. Hence, (b)
98. C; Work done by 16 men in 12 days = (16 × 12)/(16 × 24) = 1/2
Work done by 16 woman in 12 days = (16 × 12)/(32 × 24) = 1/4
Total work completed = 1/2 + 1/4 = 3/4
Remaining work = 1 – 3/4 = 1⁄4. Hence, (c).
CP/17/C23
99 A; The total time taken by the three pipes will be 1/20 + 1/24 – 1/40 = 8/120 = 1/15 =15 hrs
Hence, (a).
100. D; 1st person, 2nd person, 5th person, 10th person, 25th person, 50th person & 100th person will
put balls in the 100th bucket.
So number of balls in the 100th bucket = 1 + 2 + 5 + 10 + 25 + 50 + 100 = 193. Hence, (d).
101. B; Ashish : Bimal : Carol : Dimpy = 1750 × 12 : 2100 × 5 : 4000 × 7 : 6500 × 7
= 25 × 12 : 30 × 5 : 400 : 650 = 6 : 3 : 8 : 13
According to question, [(8 + 13) – (6 + 3)] / (6 + 3 + 8 + 13) × x = 6720
By Solving, x = 16,800. Hence, (b)
102. C; C.P of an article = 1265 × 100/110 × 100/115 × 100/125
By solving we get C.P = Rs 800. Hence, (c).
103. A; Number of girls = 60 × 15/100 = 9
Total monthly fee of girls = 250 × 9 = Rs.2250
Number of boys = 60 – 9 = 51
Monthly fee of one boy = 250 × 134/100 = Rs.335
Total monthly fee of boys = 51 × 335 = Rs.17085
Therefore, Sum = 17085 + 2250 = Rs.19335. Hence, (a)
104. C; Let the original cost price be Rs.100.
Then, profit = Rs.320 and SP = Rs.420
New CP = Rs.125  New profit = Rs.295
Required percentage = 295/420 × 100 = 70.23% = 70% (approx). Hence, (c).
105. D; let the weight of Arohi, Bina, Cayla, Dimpy and Ela be A, B, C, D, E respectively,
Then, A + B + C = 3 × 84 = 252
A + B + C + D = (4 × 80) = 320
D = (320 – 252) = 68 and E = (68 + 3) = 71
Now, B + C + D + E = (4 × 79) = 316
B + C + D = (316 – 71) = 245 kg
So, A = (320 – 245) = 75 kg. Hence, (d).
106. B; If the distance be x km, then x/40 – x/50 = 6/60  x/4 – x/5 = 1  x = 20 km.
Required time = (20/40) hour – 11 minutes = (1/2 × 60 – 11) minutes = 19 minutes. Hence, (b).
107. B; Simple interest that we get in each year remains the same
CP/17/C23
Let the principal be P and interest for one year be A

Hence according to the question P + 3A = 8500 and P + 5A = 9350
Then solving we get P = Rs.7225 and A = Rs.425
Hence rate of interest = 100 × 425/7225 = 5.88% = 5.9% (approx.). Hence, (b)
108. C; In the given word there are five different vowels and 4 different consonants
There are 9 letters so there are 5 odd and 4 even places
5 vowels can be arranged in 5 places in 5! Ways and 4 consonants can be arranged in 4 places
in 4! Ways.
Hence required number of ways = 5! × 4! = 120 × 24 = 2880. Hence, (c).
109. A; Let present age of Shivam = 4x years and present age of sunder = 3x years
According to question, 4x + 3x = 21 × 2  7x = 42  x = 6
Present age of Sunder = 3x = 3 × 6 = 18 years. Hence, (a)
110. D; 4/9 toffees at 27% profit and rest toffees (i.e. 5/9) toffees at CP (means profit = 0) Overall
Profit% = (4/9 × 27) + (5/9 × 0)
Overall profit% = 12%. Hence, (d).

111. C; Refer to section 34 of IPC. Judicial interpretation says there must be active participation of

112. A; Parliament can only amend constitution under article 368 of the constitution of India as long as

134. C; the owner cannot take the life of the trespasser unless it is an exceptional circumstance which

165. D; A–use of the term”admirable” makes the sentence a judgment. B–a judgment because it
mentions a future outcome without citing any reasons. C– a verifiable fact. D–a verifiable fact.
166. C; Both the arguments are general and do not provide any supporting argument to the specific
case of India. India may already be having adequate infrastructure or it may not be having any
aggressive neighbours.]
167. A; Argument I gives a valid problem in making all papers public. Argument II is a general
statement and gives no facts against the proposal in the statement.]
168. C; Argument I is not directly related to the statement. Argument II is weak because street food
ned not be unhealthy and even if it is, street food vendors may not be the only source and
hence banning them will not necessarily stop people from eating unhealthy food.]
169. C; Argument I is not true and it does not explain how luxury hotels are a symbol of inequality.
Argument II does not explicate why Gandhi’s principles of simplicity should be followed in case
of hotels.]
170. B; The Censor Board filters inappropriate content from movies but does not surpress expression
of valid subjects. The censor Board is a check on the media and hence argument II is strong.]
171. A;
172. B;
173. D;
174. D;
175. D;
176. B; Only II. Train journey is done to travel from one place to another and not for enjoyment hence
I is not a valid assumption. The statement relates higher fare with higher speed or lesser trip
time]
177. B; Only II is assumed since the company has installed new lines, it is assuming more people will
call up.]
178. B; Only II follows. Since the statement mentions “read” and the assumption I states it to be
“pictorial”, the statement is invalid. The statement directs the workers to start using the
machine after reading the manual only and hence assumes that no training is required.]
CP/17/C23
179. A; Only I follows. Lending rate will be reduced assuming more people will be attracted to borrow.
Capital inflow will depend on bank interest rates on deposits.]
180. D; Both follow. Since the campaign failed, we may assume any or both of the two reasons for its
failure.]
181. A; The argument links extinction of the tree species with the use of its leaves in making
toothpaste. (a) indicates that since a very small quantity of leaves are required to make
toothpaste and laso since the leaves can regenerate, the use of the tree’s leaves will not cause
its extinction.]
182. C; The argument implies being overweight as the cause of lower productivity (effect). (c)
Indicates that both lower productivity and higher weight are effects of a common cause that is
mild depression.]
183. B; The claim is that the expenditure on defence has continuosly risen. If the GDP has been rising
at a rapid pace, 12% of today’s GDP can be much more than the 18% of the GDP in 1970. No
other option resolves the contradiction.]
184. B; The argument proposes an apparantly contradictive action to have an opposite effect.
Reducing tax actually results in higher revenue. Similarly in (b) reducing working days actually
results in higher work output. ]
185. B; this indicates that the group was homogeneous and thus eliminates the type of cancer having
any effect on the recovery. (a) does not apply here as all the patients showed some recovery
while the ones having herbs showed a speedier recovery. (d) does not mention cancer.]
