included) having at least one of their digits repeated?

a. 356

b. 216

c. 496

d. 504

Ans: 496

Sol : Atleast one of their digits repeated = Total numbers – None of the digits
repeated

Total numbers from 4000 to 4999 = 1000

None of the digits repeated = There are total 4 places

1st place is filled with 4 only. So only one choice

2nd place is filled with any 9 digits except 4 as we have used 4 in 1st place. So
9 choices

Similarly 3rd place is filled with any 8 digits. So we have 8 choices

4th place is filled with any 7 digits. So we have 7 choices.

So total arrangements = 1 * 9 * 8 * 7 = 504

Ans= 1000 – 504 = 496

Answer: Option B

Explanation:
In this type of question, its obvious we need to calculate the HCF, trick is

HCF of (1661 - 10) and (2045 -13)

= HCF (1651, 2032) = 127

34. There are three numbers, these are co-prime to each other are such that the
product of the first two is 551 and that of the last two is 1073. What will be the
sum of three numbers:

A. 80

B. 82

C. 85

D. 87

Answer: Option C

Sol: As given the questions these numbers are co primes, so there is only 1 as
their common factor.

It is also given that two products have the middle number in common.

So, middle number = H.C.F. of 551 and 1073 = 29;

So first number is : 551/29 = 19

Third number = 1073/29 = 37

So sum of these numbers is = (19 + 29 + 37) = 85

35. The greatest number which on dividing 1657 and 2037 leaves remainders 6
and 5 respectively, is:

A. 123

B. 127

C. 235

D. 305

Answer: Option B

Explanation:
Required number = H.C.F. of (1657 - 6) and (2037 - 5)

= H.C.F. of 1651 and 2032 = 127.

36. If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of these
numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the
numbers is equal to:

A. 55/601

B. 601/55

C. 11/120

D. 120/11

Let the numbers be a and b.

Then, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.

The required sum = 1/a + 1/b = a + b/ab = 55/600 = 11/120.

together to make it flat ?

A. 3 ⅕ min

B. 3 ⅖ min

C. 3 ⅗ min

D.3 ⅘ min

Do not be confused, Take this question same as that of work done question's.
Like work done

by 1st puncture in 1 minute and by second in 1 minute.

Lets Solve it:

1 minute work done by both the punctures = (1/9+1/6)=(5/18)

So both punctures will make the type flat in

(18/5)mins=3 ⅗ mins

Correct Op: C

40. A is twice as good as workman as B and together they finish a piece of work
in 18 days. In how many days will B alone finish the work.

A.27 days

B.54 days

C.56 days

D.68 days

Ans: B

Explanation:

As per question, A do twice the work as done by B.

So A:B = 2:1

Also (A+B) one day work = 1/18

To get days in which B will finish the work, lets calculate work done by B in 1
day =(1/18∗1/3)=1/54

[Please note we multiplied by 1/3 as per B share and total of ratio is 1/3]

So B will finish the work in 54 days

41. To complete a work A and B takes 8 days, B and C takes 12 days, A,B and
C takes 6 days. How much time A and C will take

A.24 days

B.16 days

C.12 days

D.8 days

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

A+B 1 day work = 1/8

B+C 1 day work = 1/12

A+B+C 1 day work = 1/6

We can get A work by (A+B+C)-(B+C)

And C by (A+B+C)-(A+B)

So A 1 day work = 1/6−1/12=1/12

Similarly C 1 day work = 1/6−1/8=(4−3)/24=1/24

So A and C 1 day work = 1/12+1/24=3/24=1/8

So A and C can together do this work in 8 days

42. A can do a piece of work in 15 days and B alone can do it in 10 days. B

works at it for 5 days and then leaves. A alone can finish the remaining work in
A.5 days

B.6 days

C.7.5 days

D.8.5 days

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

B's 5 days work =

1/10∗5=½

Remaining work =1−1/2=½

A can finish work =15∗1/2=7.5days

43. A completes 80% of a work in 20 days. Then B also joins and A and B
together finish the remaining work in 3 days. How long does it need for B if he
alone completes the work?

A.35 ½

B.36 ½

C.37 ½

D.38 ½

Answer: Option C

Explanation: Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5

Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1)

Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is

done in 3 days by A and B)

Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2)

Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75

=> B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 37 ½ days

44. 4 men and 6 women finish a job in 8 days, while 3 men and 7 women finish
it in 10 days. In how many days will 10 women working together finish it ?

A.30 days

B.40 days

C.50 days

D.60 days

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let 1 man's 1 day work = x

and 1 woman's 1 days work = y.

Then, 4x + 6y = 1/8

and 3x+7y = 1/10

solving, we get y = 1/400 [means work done by a woman in 1 day]

10 women 1 day work = 10/400 = 1/40

10 women will finish the work in 40 days

45. 10 women can complete a work in 7 days and 10 children take 14 days to
complete the work. How many days will 5 women and 10 children take to
complete the work?

A.6 days

B.7 days

C.8 days

D.9 days

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

1 woman's 1 day's work = 1/70

1 Child's 1 day's work = 1/140

5 Women and 10 children 1 day work =

(5/70 +10/140)=1/7

So 5 women and 10 children will finish the work in 7 days.

46. 5 men and 2 boys working together can do four times as much work as a
man and a boy. Working capacity of man and boy is in the ratio

A.1:2

B.1:3

C.2:1

D.2:3

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let 1 man 1 day work = x

1 boy 1 day work = y

then 5x + 2y = 4(x+y)

=> x = 2y

=> x/y = 2/1

=> x:y = 2:1

47.Rahul and Sham together can complete a task in 35 days, but Rahul alone
can complete same work in 60 days. Calculate in how many days Sham can
complete this work ?

A.84 days

B.82 days

C.76 days

D.68 days
Answer: Option A

Explanation:

As Rahul and Sham together can finish work in 35 days.

1 days work of Rahul and Sham is 1/35

Rahul can alone complete this work in 60 days,

So, Rahul one day work is 1/60

Clearly, Sham one day work will be = (Rahul and Sham one day work) - (Rahul
one day work)

=1/35−1/60=1/84

Hence Sham will complete the given work in 84 days.

48. If 6 men and 8 boys can do a piece of work in 10 days while 26 men and 48
boys can do the same in 2 days, the time taken by 15 men and 20 boys in doing
the same type of work will be:

A. 4 days

B. 5 days

C. 6 days

D. 7 days

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let 1 man's 1 day's work = x and 1 boy's 1 day's work = y.

Then, 6x + 8y = 1/10 and 26x + 48y = 1/2 .

Solving these two equations, we get : x = 1/100 and y =1/200 .

(15 men + 20 boy)'s 1 day's work = 15/100 + 20/200 = 1/4 .

15 men and 20 boys can do the work in 4 days.

49. A and B can together finish a work 30 days. They worked together for 20
days and then B left. After another 20 days, A finished the remaining work. In
how many days A alone can finish the work?

A. 40

B. 50

C. 54

D. 60

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

(A + B)'s 20 day's work =(1/30 x 20 ) = 2/3 .

Remaining work = ( 1 -2/3 ) = 1/3 .

Now, 1/3 work is done by A in 20 days.

Therefore, the whole work will be done by A in (20 x 3) = 60 days.

25.75, then would have been percentage of profit and loss?
A.2% Profit

B.3% Profit

C.2% Loss

D.3% Loss

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Please remember

S.P.=(((100+gain%)/100)∗C.P)

So, C.P. = ((100/110)∗25.75)

When S.P. = 25.75 then Profit=25.75−25=Re.0.75

Profit%=(0.75/25)∗100=3%

D. Rs 250

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let original Cost price is x

Its Selling price = 105/100 * x = 21x/20

New Cost price = 95/100 * x = 19x/20

New Selling price = 110/100 * 19x/20 = 209x/200

[(21x/20) - (209x/200)] = 1

=> x = 200

58. In a certain store, the profit is 320% of the cost. If the cost increases by 25%
but the selling price remains constant, approximately what percentage of the
selling price is the profit
A. 70%

B. 80%

C. 90%

D. None of above

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let C.P.= Rs. 100.

Then, Profit = Rs. 320,

S.P. = Rs. 420.

New C.P. = 125% of Rs. 100 = Rs. 125

New S.P. = Rs. 420.

Profit = Rs. (420 - 125) = Rs. 295

Required percentage = (295/420) * 100

= 70%(approx)

59. A man gains 20% by selling an article for a certain price. If he sells it at
double the price, the percentage of profit will be.

A. 130%

B. 140%

C. 150%

D. 160%

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the C.P. = x,

Then S.P. = (120/100)x = 6x/5

New S.P. = 2(6x/5) = 12x/5

Profit = 12x/5 - x = 7x/5

Profit% = (Profit/C.P.) * 100

=> (7x/5) * (1/x) * 100 = 140 %

60. A man buys an item at Rs. 1200 and sells it at the loss of 20 percent. Then
what is the selling price of that item

A.Rs. 660

B.Rs. 760

C.Rs. 860

D.Rs. 960

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Here always remember, when ever x% loss,

it means S.P. = (100 - x)% of C.P

when ever x% profit,

it means S.P. = (100 + x)% of C.P

So here will be (100 - x)% of C.P.

= 80% of 1200

= 80/100 * 1200

= 960

61. A fruit seller sells mangoes at the rate of Rs.9 per kg and thereby loses 20%.

63. A sum of money at simple interest amounts to Rs. 2240 in 2 years and to Rs.
2600 in 5 years. What is the principal amount

A. 1000

B. 1500

C. 2000

D. 2500

Answer: Option C
Explanation:

SI for 3 year = 2600-2240 = 360

SI for 2 year 360/3 * 2 = 240

Principal = 2240 - 240 = 2000

64. In how many years Rs 150 will produce the same interest at 8% as Rs. 800
produce in 3 years at 9/2%

A. 8

B. 9

C. 10

D. 11

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clue: Firstly we need to calculate the SI with principal 800,Time 3 years and
Rate 9/2%, it will be Rs.108

Then we can get the Time as

Time = (100*108)/(150*8) = 9

65. A financier claims to be lending money at simple interest, But he includes

the interest every six months for calculating the principal. If he is charging an
interest of 10%, the effective rate of interest becomes.

A. 10.25%

B. 10%

C. 9.25%

D. 9%

Answer: Option A
Explanation:

Let the sum is 100.

As financier includes interest every six months., then we will calculate SI for 6
months, then again for six months as below:

SI for first Six Months = (100*10*1)/(100*2) = Rs. 5

Important: now sum will become 100+5 = 105

SI for last Six Months = (105*10*1)/(100*2) = Rs. 5.25

So amount at the end of year will be (100+5+5.25)

= 110.25

Effective rate = 110.25 - 100 = 10.25

66. A sum of money amounts to Rs 9800 after 5 years and Rs 12005 after 8
years at the same rate of simple interest. The rate of interest per annum is

A. 9%

B. 10%

C. 11%

D. 12%

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We can get SI of 3 years = 12005 - 9800 = 2205

SI for 5 years = (2205/3)*5 = 3675 [so that we can get principal amount after
deducting SI]

Principal = 12005 - 3675 = 6125

So Rate = (100*3675)/(6125*5) = 12%

67. A man saves Rs 200 at the end of each year and lends the money at 5%

71. Two boys starting from the same place walk at a rate of 5kmph and
5.5kmph respectively. What time will they take to be 8.5km apart, if they walk
in the same direction?

A. 15 hours

B. 16 hours

C. 17 hours

D. 18 hours

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In this type of questions we need to get the relative speed between them,

The relative speed of the boys = 5.5kmph – 5kmph

= 0.5 kmph

Distance between them is 8.5 km

Time = Distance/Speed

Time= 8.5km / 0.5 kmph = 17 hrs

72. Excluding stoppages, the speed of a bus is 54 kmph and including

stoppages, it is 45 kmph. For how many minutes does the bus stop per hour ?

A. 8 minutes

B. 10 minutes

C. 12 minutes

D. 14 minutes

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Due to stoppages, it covers 9 km less.

Time taken to cover 9 km = (9/54) hour

= (1/6)*60 minutes

= 10 minutes

73. 2 trains starting at the same time from 2 stations 200 km apart and going in
opposite direction cross each other at a distance of 110 km from one of the
stations. What is the ratio of their speeds?

A. 11:9

B. 13:9

C. 17:9

D. 21:9

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

We know total distance is 200 Km

If both trains crossed each other at a distance of 110 km then one train covered
110 km and other 90 km [110+90=200km]

So ratio of their speed = 110:90 = 11:9

74. The least number of complete years in which a sum of money put out at 20%
compound interest will be more than doubled is

A. 4 years

B. 5 years

C. 6 years

D. 7 years

Explanation:

As per question we need something like following

P(1+R/100)^n > 2P

(1+20/100)^n > 2
(6/5)^n > 2

6/5×6/5×6/5×6/5 > 2

So answer is 4 years

75. In what time will Rs.1000 become Rs.1331 at 10% per annum compounded
annually?

A. 2 Years

B. 3 Years

C. 4 Years

D. 5 Years

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Principal = Rs.1000;

Amount = Rs.1331;

Rate = Rs.10%p.a.

Let the time be n years then,

1000(1+10/100)^n=1331

(11/10)^n=1331/1000

(1110)^3=1331/1000

So answer is 3 years

76. If the simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 5% per annum is
Rs.50, what will be the compound interest on same values

A. Rs.51.75

B. Rs 51.50

C. Rs 51.25

D. Rs 51
Answer: Option C

Explanation:

S.I.=P∗R∗T/100

P=(50∗100)/5∗2=500

Amount=500(1+5/100)^2

500(21/20∗21/20)=551.25

C.I.=551.25−500

=51.25

77. The difference between simple and compound interests compounded

annually on a certain sum of money for 2 years at 4% per annum is Rs 1. Find
the sum

A. Rs 600

B. Rs 625

C. Rs 650

D. Rs 675

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the Sum be P

S.I. = P∗4∗2/100=2P/25

C.I. = P(1+4/100)^2−P

=(676P/625)−P

=51P/625

As, C.I. - S.I = 1

=>51P/625−2P/25=1
=>(51P−50P)625=1

P=625

78. A train covers a distance in 50 minutes, if it runs at a speed of 48kmph on an

average. Find the speed at which the train must run to reduce the time of
journey to 40 minutes.

A. 50 km/hr

B. 60 km/hr

C. 65 km/hr

D. 70 km/hr

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

We are having time and speed given, so first we will calculate the distance.
Then we can get

new speed for given time and distance.

Lets solve it.

Time = 50/60 hr = 5/6 hr

Speed = 48 mph

Distance = S*T = 48 * 5/6 = 40 km

New time will be 40 minutes so,

Time = 40/60 hr = 2/3 hr

Now we know,

Speed = Distance/Time

New speed = 40*3/2 kmph = 60kmph

79. A sum of money invested at compound interest to Rs. 800 in 3 years and to

become Rs. 1348.32 in 2 years

A. 3%

B. 4%

C. 5%

D. 6%

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let Rate will be R%

1200(1+R/100)^2=134832/100

(1+R/100)^2=134832/120000

(1+R/100)^2=11236/10000

(1+R100)=106100

=>R=6%
81. A Man travelled a distance of 61 km in 9 hours. He travelled partly on foot
at 4 km/hr and partly on bicycle at 9 km/hr. What is the distance travelled on
foot?

A. 16 km

B. 14 km

C. 12 km

D. 10 km

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the time in which he travelled on foot = x hour

Time for travelling on bicycle = (9 - x) hr

Distance = Speed * Time, and Total distance = 61 km

So,

4x + 9(9-x) = 61

=> 5x = 20

=> x = 4

So distance traveled on foot = 4(4) = 16 km

82. A man on tour travels first 160 km at 64 km/hr and the next 160 km at 80
km/hr. Find the average speed for first 320 km of tour.

A. 70.11 km/hr

B. 71.11 km/hr

C. 72.11 km/hr

D. 73.11 km/hr

Answer: Option B

Explanation:
We know Time = Distance/speed

So total time taken =

(160/64+160/80)=92hours

Time taken for 320 Km

= 320∗2/9

=71.11km/hr

83. Robert is travelling on his cycle and has calculated to reach point A at 2
P.M. if he travels at 10kmph, he will reach there at 12 noon if he travels at
15kmph. At what speed must he travel to reach A at 1 P.M.?

A. 9 km/hour

B. 10 km/hour

C. 11 km/hour

D. 12 km/hour

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We need to calculate the distance, then we can calculate the time and finally our
answer.

Let’s solve this,

Let the distance travelled by x km

Time = Distance/Speed

x/10 − x/15 = 2

[because, 2 pm - 12 noon = 2 hours]

3x−2x=60

x=60

Time=Distance/Speed
Time@10km/hr=60/10=6hours

So 2 P.M. - 6 = 8 A.M

Robert starts at 8 A.M.

He have to reach at 1 P.M. i.e., in 5 hours

So, Speed = 60/5 = 12 km/hr.

84. A person travels from P to Q at a speed of 40 km/hr and returns by

increasing his speed by 50%. What is his average speed for both the trips ?

A. 44 km/hour

B. 46 km/hour

C. 48 km/hour

D. 50 km/hour

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Speed while going = 40 km/hr

Speed while returning = 150% of 40 = 60 km/hr

Average speed =

2xy/(x+y)

=2∗40∗60/(40+60)

=4800/100

=48Km/hr

85. A man in a train notices that he can count 41 telephone posts in one minute.

travelling?

A. 60 km/hr

B. 100 km/hr
C. 110 km/hr

D. 120 km/hr

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Number of gaps between 41 poles = 40

So total distance between 41 poles = 40*50 = 2000 meter = 2 km

In 1 minute train is moving 2 km/minute.

Speed in hour = 2*60 = 120 km/hour

86. A person travels equal distances with speed of 3 km/hr. 4 km/hr. and 5
km/hr. and takes a total of 47 minutes. Find the total distance.

A. 3 km

B. 4 km

C. 6 km

D. 9 km

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let the distance be 3x km,

then,

x/3+x/4+x/5=47/60

47x/60=47/60

x=1

So total distance = 3*1 = 3 Km

87. A walks around a circular field at the rate of one round per hour while B
runs around it at the rate of six rounds per hour. They start at same point at 7:30
am. They shall first cross each other at ?

A. 7:15 am

B. 7:30 am

C. 7: 42 am

D. 7:50 am

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Relative speed between two = 6-1 = 5 round per hour

They will cross when one round will complete with relative speed,

which is 1/5 hour = 12 mins.

So 7:30 + 12 mins = 7:42

88. The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 7: 8. If the second train runs
400kms. in 4 hours, then the speed of the first train is ?

A. 83.5 km/hr.

B. 84.5 km/hr.

C. 86.5 km/hr.

D. 87.5 km/hr.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let the speeds of two trains be 7X and 8X km/hr.

8X=400/4

=>X=12.5Km/hr
So speed of first train is 12.5*7 = 87.5 km/hr

89. A man can row upstream 10 kmph and downstream 20 kmph. Find the man
rate in still water and rate of the stream.

A. 0,5

B. 5,5

C. 15,5

D. 10,5

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Please remember,

If a is rate downstream and b is rate upstream

Rate in still water = 1/2(a+b)

Rate of current = 1/2(a-b)

=> Rate in still water = 1/2(20+10) = 15 kmph

=> Rate of current = 1/2(20-10) = 5 kmph

90. In one hour, a boat goes 11km along the stream and 5 km against it. Find
the speed of the boat in still water

A. 6

B. 7

C. 8

then the speed of the stream is

A. 5 km/hr

B. 4 km/hr

C. 2 km/hr

D. 1 km/hr

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Rate upstream = (15/3) kmph

Rate downstream (21/3) kmph = 7 kmph.

Speed of stream (1/2)(7 - 5)kmph = 1 kmph

92. A man rows 750 m in 675 seconds against the stream and returns in 7 and
half minutes. His rowing speed in still water is

A. 4 kmph

B. 5 kmph

C. 6 kmph

D. 7 kmph

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Rate upstream = (750/675) = 10/9 m/sec

Rate downstream (750/450) m/sec = 5/3 m/sec

Rate in still water = (1/2)*[(10/9) + (5/3)] m/sec.

= 25/18 m/sec
= (25/18)*(18/5) kmph

= 5 kmph

93. If a boat goes 7 km upstream in 42 minutes and the speed of the stream is 3
kmph, then the speed of the boat in still water is

A. 12 kmph

B. 13 kmph

C. 14 kmph

D. 15 kmph

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Rate upstream = (7/42)*60 kmh = 10 kmph.

Speed of stream = 3 kmph.

Let speed in sttil water is x km/hr

Then, speed upstream = (x —3) km/hr.

x-3 = 10 or x = 13 kmph

94. A man takes twice as long to row a distance against the stream as to row the
same distance in favour of the stream. The ratio of the speed of the boat in still
water and stream is

A. 3:1

B. 1:3

C. 2:4

D. 4:2

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Let speed downstream = x kmph

Then Speed upstream = 2x kmph

So ratio will be,

(2x+x)/2 : (2x-x)/2

=> 3x/2 : x/2 => 3:1

95. A man's speed with the current is 20 kmph and speed of the current is 3
kmph. The Man's speed against the current will be

A. 11 kmph

B. 12 kmph

C. 14 kmph

D. 17 kmph

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Speed with current is 20,

speed of the man + It is speed of the current

Speed in still water = 20 - 3 = 17

Now speed against the current will be

speed of the man - speed of the current

= 17 - 3 = 14 kmph.

96. A man can row at 5 kmph in still water. If the velocity of the current is 1
kmph and it takes him 1 hour to row to a place and come back. how far is that
place.

A. .4 km

B. 1.4 km

C. 2.4 km

D. 3.4 km
Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the distance is x km

Rate downstream = 5 + 1 = 6 kmph

Rate upstream = 5 - 1 = 4 kmph

then

x/6 + x/4 = 1 [because distance/speed = time]

=> 2x + 3x = 12

=> x = 12/5 = 2.4 km

97. The speed of a boat in still water is 15 km/hr and the rate of current is 3
km/hr. The distance travelled downstream in 12 minutes is

A. 1.6 km

B. 2 km
