Answer Key

Q.1) a

 

Let the number of toys be 100

 

Difference = 63-59=4

 

4=100 toys

 

20=500 toys

 

Required toys==500×60/100=300

Q.2) b

 

Let as boys and girls be x and y,

 

((x×62)+(y×55))/(x+y)=58

 

62x+55y=58x+58y

 

4x=3y

 

x/y=3/4

 

Ratio = 3 : 4

Q.3) d

 

Score of Gopi=34×74+23×78-56×76=54

Q.4)

c

 

Sum of  11 numbers is=11×45=495

 

each of the numbers is added by 11=11×11=121

 

Average of new set number=(495+121)/11=56

Q.5) b

 

Let the number of runs scored in 10th inning be x,

 

9×40+x=10×43

 

360+x=430

 

x=70 runs

Q.6) c

 

Sum of salary  of X, Y and Z=3×12000=Rs.36000

 

Then money spend,

 

36000-(3×8000)=Rs.12000

 

3y+y+2y=12000

 

y=12000/6=2000

 

x=3y

 

x=3×2000=Rs.6000

 

Averange amount X and Y spend=(6000+2000)/2=Rs.4000

Q.7) d

 

Sum of price 39 product=39×150=Rs.5850

 

Sum of price of bags=15×250=Rs.3750

 

Sum of price of dresses=10×75=Rs.750

 

Sum of price of balls=5850-4500=Rs.1350

 

Average price of balls=1350/14=Rs.96.4

Q.8) c

 

Sum of total amount of Orange=10×40=400

 

Sum of total amount of banana=6×25=150

 

Sum of total amount of Apple=11×95=1045

 

Sum of taotal amount of mango=7×80=560

 

Total amount Reaka spent=Rs.2155

 

Average=2155/34=Rs.63.4

Q.9) e

 

Amount of average be x

 

Total amount paid by 14 friends=Rs. 2100

 

(2100+2(x+16))/16=x

 

Simplify the above equation,

 

x=152

Q.10) c

 

The only possibility according to the above condition is puffs=7, chocolates=9 and pastries =10

 

Sum of total cost=26×190=Rs.4940

 

(7×15+9×15+10×x)=4940

 

x=470

Q.11) (d)

 

Since the marked price of the article is not given, we cannot determine the required percentage.

Q.12) (b)

 

As the first person earns 20% more than the second person,

 

Required percentage = 20/(100+20)×100=16.67%

 

 

Q.13) (a)

 

The difference between the price= Rs.2.8 which is 4.35% of Rs.64.35.

 

Required percentage = 4.35/(100-4.35)×100=4.54%

Q.14) (a)

 

At the end of July, the count of cars=24000+50% of 24000=36000

 

At the end of august, the count of cars=36000+50% of 36000=54000

 

At the end of September, the count of cars=54000+50% of 54000=81000

Q.15) (c)

 

Monthly income= Rs.40000

 

Apart from all the expenses, she has given 35% of the money to their children. So, 35% of 40000=14000

 

The money given to her daughter is 8000 which is 20% of her monthly salary.

 

 

Q.16) (d)

 

Let the cost price of a lamp be x.

 

Given that,

 

95x/100+541.5=(2×95x)/100

 

X=Rs.570

Q.17) (e)

 

Cost price of a bat = 4500/12=375

 

Selling price of a bat = 3200/8=400

 

Profit percentage = (400-375)/375×100=20/3%

Q.18) (a)

 

Let us take the cost price of article be X.

 

For the first case,

 

88/100×85/100×95/100×x=0.7106x

 

For the second case,

 

90/100×90/100×88/100=0.7128x

 

Obviously, first offer is better.

Q.19) (c)

 

Let the cost price be x.

 

After successive discounts, the selling price be

 

94/100×90/100×86/100×2000=1455

 

He makes a profit of 1%,

 

So, 1455/101×100=1440

Q.20) (b)

 

Let the marked price be x.

 

If 10% discount is given, then the selling price would be  90/100×x=9x/10

 

Now, selling price = 9x/10

 

Gain =20%

 

CP = 100/120×9x/10=3x/4

 

Again, SP=85% of Rs. x = 17x/20

 

Gain = 17x/20-3x/4=x/10

 

Gain% =x/10×4/3x×100=40/3%=131/3%
