Side (a) = 252/4 = 63

Area of square = a2 = 632 = 3969
Cost of flooring the plot = 3979*3 = Rs. 11907
42) Answer: B
(A+B)’s work = 7/15
(B+C)’s work = 11/15
Now, (A+B+B+C) - (A+B+C) = B
B = (7/15) + (11/15) – 1
= > (18/15) – 1
= > 1/5
B = 1/5
A = 7/15 – 1/5 = 4/15
 Only two persons live between T and Y. C = 11/15 – 1/5 = 8/15
 Y lives immediately below S. The ratio of efficiency of A, B and C = (4/15): (1/5): (8/15) =
4: 3: 8
B’s share = (3/15)*9000 = Rs. 1800
43) Answer: C
Total salary of A+B+C = 21000*3 = 63000 -- (1)
Total salary of B+C+D = 23000*3 = 69000 -- (2)
On subtracting (1) and (2), we get,
D – A = 6000 -- (3)
D + A = 50000 ---- (4)
Using the equation (3) and (4), we get,
D = 28000, A = 22000
Average salary of B and C = (63000 – 22000)/2 = Rs. 20500
44) Answer: B
 Only three persons live between X and W. Population after 3 years
 W lives on one of the floor below X. = > 1200000*(115/100)*(115/100)*(115/100)
 From the above condition Case 1 was dropped. = > 1825050
 So the final arrangement is, 45) Answer: A
Speed of train = 360/3 = 120 km/hr
Speed of car = 120 × (2/3) = 80 km/hr
Required distance = 80 × 5 = 400 km
46) Answer: B
The ratio of male and female population in the state P = 7:

The total literate population in State Q 58) Answer: A

= > 500000*(7/10) = 350000 8385 ÷ [(26/100)*2150] = 38*10*(x/191)
The total illiterate population in State T 8385/559 = 2x
= > 600000*(5/12) = 250000 15/2 = x
Required difference = 350000- 250000 = 100000 X = 7.5 = 8
49) Answer: A 59) Answer: D
The total illiterate population in State R and S together (12584/11) + (5/7)*12145 + (39/100)*5700 = x2 – 279
= > 450000*(4/15) + 250000*(2/5) 1144 + 8675 + 2223 + 279 = x2
= > 120000 + 100000 = 220000 12321 = x2
The total literate population in state T X = 111
= > 600000*(7/12) = 350000 60) Answer: B
Required ratio = 220000: 350000 = 22: 35 (45730/17) + (3/5)*11565 + 262 = (30/100)*x
50) Answer: C 2690 + 6939 + 676 = 3x/10
The total literate population in State R and total illiterate 10305 = 3x/10
population in State S X = 10305*(10/3) = 34350
= > 450000*(11/15) + 250000*(2/5) 61) Answer: C
= > 330000 + 100000 = 430000 πr2 = 1386
Required average = 430000/2 = 215000 => (22/7)* r2 = 1386
51) Answer: C => r2 = 1386 x (7/22)
The pattern is, *0.5 - 0.5, *1 + 1, *1.5 – 1.5, *2 +2, *2.5 - => r2 = 441
2.5,.. => r = 21 cm
The answer is, 422.5 Radius of the cylinder = 21*(1/3) = 7 cm
52) Answer: A Height of the cylinder = 7*2 = 14 cm
The pattern is, +153, +162, +173, +182, +193,.. Volume of the cylinder = πr2h = (22/7)*7*7*14 = 2156 cm3
The answer is, 17072 62) Answer: D
53) Answer: D C can empty the tank in = (21/70)*100= 30 hours
The pattern is, *1 + 2, *2 + 3, *3 + 4, *4 + 5, *5 + 6,.. Total units of work= 300
The answer is, 10851 A’s one hour work = 300/20 = 15 units
54) Answer: B B’s one hour work = 300/25 = 12 units
The pattern is, *1/2, *2/3, *3/4, *4/5,.. C’s capacity to empty in one hour = 300/30 = 10 units
The answer is, 1900.8 When three pipes are opened simultaneously then in one
55) Answer: E hour they will fill,
The pattern is, - 4 ÷ 2 (or) (÷ 2) - 2 (15+12-10) = 17 units
The answer is, 16 In 12 hours they will fill = 17*12= 204 units
56) Answer: C After 12hrs, C will be closed
(2/5) of (85/25) of 2580 = (28/100)*1350 + (4/5)*x Time taken by A& B to fill the remaining tank = 96/27 = 3
3502 – 378 = (4x/5) 15/27 = 3 5/9 hours
3124*(5/4) = x Total time will be = 12 + 3 5/9 = 15 5/9 hours
X = 3905 = 3900 63) Answer: A
57) Answer: E Investment * Period = Ratio of profit
(28*28*7)/14 + 352 = 4x – (42/100)*4100 A, B and C’s profit ratio = 4: 5: 3
392 + 1225 = 4x – 1722 Period = 3: 2: 1
392 + 1225 + 1722 = 4x Investment ratio = Ratio of profit / Period
X = 3339/4 = > (4/3): (5/2): (3/1)

Speed of train A in m/s = 54*5/18 = 15 m/s 3375 + 57 – 1455 = x
Length of train A= 15 *15 = 225 m X = 1977
Speed of train B in m/s = 72*5/18= 20 m/s 74) Answer: B
Time required to cross each other (11/25)*(125/77)*490 = x2 + 125
T = D/S 350 – 125 = x2
T = (225 + 225)/(20 - 15) X2 = 225
T = 450/5 X = 15
T = 90 seconds 75) Answer: A
65) Answer: B (25/100)*5200 + (24*24*3)/8 + 361 = x
Decreased weight = 8*2 = 16 kg 1300 + 216 + 361 = x
Weight of a new man = 75 – 16 = 59 kg X = 1877
66) Answer: C 76) Answer: C
(15/100)*x – (2366/13) – (1275/3) = 68 The ratio of amount of A, B and C = 3: 5: 6 (3x, 5x, 6x)
(3x/20) = 68 + 182 + 425 C gives Rs. 20 to B. So,
(3x/20) = 675 C = 6x – 20, B = 5x + 20
X = 675*(20/3) = 4500 B gives to A half of what has now. So,
67) Answer: A A = 3x + (5x + 20)/2
(50.6*78)/46 – (2880/120) = 4x According to the question,
85.8 – 24 = 4x 3x + (5x + 20)/2 = 6x – 20 - 20
61.8 = 4x 6x + 5x + 20 = 12x – 80
X = 61.8/4 = 15.45 12x – 11x = 20 + 80

X = 3867 According to the question,
70) Answer: C = > (3x + 12)/(4x + 12) = 27/32
X = (5346/33) + 576 + (4/7)*924 = > 96x + 384 = 108x + 324
X = 162 + 576 + 528 = > 12x = 60
