\ S.P. of 200 textbooks
= C.P. of 200 textbooks + C.P. of 20 textbooks = 250°C.
= C.P. of 220 textbooks Thus, the temperature of the iron rod after half an hour will
be 200°C – 250°C i.e., –50°C
\ S.P. of 200 textbooks = ` (220 × 60) = ` 13200

5. (B) : Sum of the ages of 3 friends = 3 × 23 = 69 years According to question, − = 100

Sum of the ages of 4 friends = 4 × 23 = 92 years 3x − x 2x 100 × 12
\ Age of 4th friend = 92 years – 69 years ⇒ = 100 ⇒ = 100 ⇒ x = = 600

= 23 years
Thus, Chandran had ` 600.
6. (B) : Let the principal = ` x, amount = ` 3x and
time = 20 years 11. (D) : Let the total distance travelled by the person = x km
\ S.I. = ` 3x – ` x = ` 2x
S.I. × 100 2 x × 100 Then, according to question,
Rate = = = 10%
P × T x × 20

Now, principal = ` x, amount = 2x, rate = 10% x + + 15 = x

\ S.I. = ` 2x – ` x = ` x 5 x 8x − 5x − 2 x
S.I. × 100 x × 100 ⇒ x − x − = 15 ⇒ = 15
Thus, time = = = 10 years 8 4 8

⇒ = 15 ⇒ x = 15 × 8 = 120
7. (B) : The temperature of an iron rod at first is 200°C. 8
Since, after every 3 minutes it cools down by 25°C. \ Total distance travelled by him = 120 km.

1 1 19. (D) : Let the present age of the son be x years.
12. (A) : The given two fractions are and .
7 8 and the present age of the father be 2x years.
1 1 8+7 According to question,

7 8 15 (2x – 18) = 3(x – 18)
Their average is = 56 =
2 2 112 ⇒ 2x – 18 = 3x – 54
15 1 1 ⇒ 54 – 18 = 3x – 2x ⇒ 36 = x
Thus, the fraction lies between and .
112 7 8 Thus, the required sum = (2x + x) years = 3x years
13. (D) : Let the digit at ten's place = x = 3 × 36 years = 108 years
Then, digit at unit's place = 4x 20. (A) : According to question,
According to question, sum of the digits = 10 40 140
⇒ x + 4x = 10 A=B+ B = B
100 100
⇒ 5x = 10 ⇒ x = 2 7
\ The required number = 10 × x + 4x = 10 × 2 + 4 × 2 ⇒ A = B …(i)

and number of unshaded parts = 16 – 6 = 10 ⇒ 11x + 135 = 300
10 5 ⇒ 11x = 300 – 135 = 165
Thus, the required fraction = =

24. (A) : Let Teena has ` x. 11
\ Reshma has ` (51 – x) Thus, the number of pens he bought = 15.

\ Area of the circle after change = p(4) sq. units.
40 × 27 = 16p sq. units.
⇒ x = = 10.3
13 × 8 = 4 × (4p sq. units)
Thus, Teena has ` 10.3 = 4 × original area.
