Q.1) A ball is dropped from a height of 2 meters. Every time the ball hits the ground, it bounces back to
attain a height of 3/4 of the previous height. The ball stops bouncing when its height is less than or equal
to 50 cm. What is the number of times the ball hits the ground before it stops bouncing?
a) 4
b) 5
c) 6
d) 7

Ans) b
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Given height = 2 meters = 200 cm
When the ball hits the ground for the 1st time, its height = (3/4) x 200 = 150 cm
When the ball hits the ground for the 2nd time, its height = (3/4) x 150 = 112.5 cm
When the ball hits the ground for the 3rd time, its height = (3/4) x 112.5 = 84.375 cm
When the ball hits the ground for the 4th time, its height = (3/4) x 84.375 = 63.28125 cm
When the ball hits the ground for the 5th time, its height = (3/4) x 63.28125 = 47.46094 cm
Since the ball stops bouncing when its height is less than or equal to 50 cm, the ball stops bouncing after
the 5th time it hits the ground.

Q.4) In an objective type test of 90 questions, 5 marks are allotted for every correct answer and 2 marks
are deducted for every wrong answer. If a student attempts 70 questions and gets a score of 245, find the
number of correct and incorrect answers.
a) Correct: 60, Incorrect: 10
b) Correct: 55, Incorrect: 15
c) Correct: 50, Incorrect: 20
d) Correct: 45, Incorrect: 25

Ans) b
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Let the number of correct answers be x and the number of incorrect answers be y.
Total number of attempted questions = 70
Total marks obtained = 5x - 2y
Given, the total score is 245. Therefore, we have:
5x - 2y = 245
Also, we know that the total number of attempted questions is equal to the sum of correct and incorrect
answers, i.e.:
x + y = 70
Solving the above two equations simultaneously, we get:
5x - 2(70 - x) = 245
5x - 140 + 2x = 245
7x = 385
x = 55
Therefore, the number of correct answers is 55 and the number of incorrect answers is 15.

Q.9) The monthly average salary paid to all the employees of a company was Rs. 12000. The monthly
average salary paid to male and female employees was Rs. 14000 and Rs. 10000 respectively. Then the
percentage of males employed in the company is:
a) 40%
b) 60%
c) 50%
d) 80%

Ans) c
Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
Let total no of the male employee be x
Total no of the female be y
Then total salary of all male = 14000 × x
The total salary of all female =10000 × y
But as per question total salary of all the employee = 12000(x + y)
So [(14000 × x) + (10000 × y)] = 12000(x + y)
x 1
By equating we will find =
y 1

Q.10) If the price of an article is increased by 30% and then the new price is decreased by 40%, then what
is the net change in the price?
a) 10% increase
b) 12% decrease
c) 22% decrease
d) No change

Ans) c
Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
Let’s say the original price of the article is 100.
If it’s increased by 30%, the new price would be 100 + (30/100)x100 = 130.
Now if this new price is decreased by 40%,
then the final price would be 130 - (40/100)x130 =78.
So, there is a net change of (78-100)/100 x100 = 22% decrease in the price.

Q.13) How many new Names knives were purchased in 2018?


a) 44
b) 50
c) 55
d) 64

Ans) b
Exp) option b is the correct answer.
There were 30 Names knives in 16' which will also work in 17' thus we have 50 new knives in 17'. Now in 18'
20% of 30 i.e. 6 are thrown in the junk.
Therefore, in 18' we have 24 + 50 = 74 Names knives of previous years.
Therefore, Names knives purchased in 18' is 124 - 74 = 50.

Q.14) How many Names knives were disposed of by the end of 2019?
a) 10
b) 16
c) 22
d) Cannot be determined from the data

Ans) b
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
The number of Names knives that were disposed of by the end of 2018 is 6 and at the end of 2019 are 10.
So, in total 16 Names knives are disposed of.

Q.15) How many Berma knives were disposed of in 2019?


a) 0
b) 5
c) 6
d) Cannot be determined from the data

Ans) d
Exp) Option d is the correct answer.
Since 10 Berma were disposed of in 2014, it means 50 new have been bought in 2014, which implies that 70
were already in use. The breakup of 70 knives Berma cannot be determined. So the number of Berma
disposed of in 2019 cannot be calculated.

a) 20
b) 23
c) 50
d) Cannot be determined from the data

Ans) a
Exp) Option a is the correct answer.
Berma knives were purchased in 2018 = 236 – 222 + Disposed of in 2018
= 236 - 222 + 20% (Berma knives were purchased in 2016)

Q.17) A train travelling at 80 km/h overtakes a small object travelling at 26 km/h in 30 seconds. What is
the length of the train in meters?
a) 900 m
b) 450 m
c) 1020 m
d) 560 m

Ans) b
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
When a train overtakes another object such as a motorbike, whose length is negligible compared to the
length of the train, then the distance travelled by train while overtaking the motorbike is the same as the
length of the train.
The length of the train:
= distance travelled by train while overtaking the motorbike
= relative speed between the train and the motorbike × time taken
In this case, as both the objects i.e., the train and the motorbike are moving in the same direction, the
relative speed between them = difference between their respective speeds = 80 – 26 = 54 km/h
Distance travelled by train while overtaking the motorbike
=54 km/h ×30 seconds.
The final answer is given in meters and the speed is given in km/h and the time in seconds.
So, let us convert the given speed from km/h to m/sec.
5
1 km/h = m/sec
18
5
Therefore, 54 km/h = 54× =15m/sec
18
Relative speed = 15 m/sec.
Time taken = 30 seconds.
Therefore, distance travelled =15×30= 450 meters

The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has?
a) 45
b) 60
c) 75
d) 90

Ans) d
Exp) d is the correct answer.
Let’s assume that the number of notes of each denomination is x.
Then the total amount he has is x + 5x +10x = Rs.480
which means x=30.
Since the number of notes of each denomination is equal
So, he has a total of 30+30+30=90 notes.

a) 10% loss
b) 10% profit
c) 12.5% loss
d) 12.5% profit

Ans) d
Exp) Option d is the correct answer.
Let the quantities of coffee beans A and B used to make one cup of the blend be 3x and 2x, respectively.
The cost of one cup of the blend can then be calculated as:
Cost = (3x * Rs. 6 + 2x * Rs. 8) / 5 = Rs. 6.40
Since the shop owner sells one cup of the blend for Rs. 7.20, the profit made on each cup sold is:
Profit = Selling price - Cost price = Rs. 7.20 - Rs. 6.40 = Rs. 0.80
The percentage profit or loss can be calculated as:
Percentage profit or loss = (Profit / Cost price) x 100%
= (Rs. 0.80 / Rs. 6.40) x 100%
= 12.5% profit

Now, 1! + 2! + 3! + 4! = 33
When 33 is divided by 5 it leaves a remainder =3.

Q.34) When a particular positive number is divided by 4, the remainder is 2. If the same number is divided
by 7, the remainder is 1. If the difference between the quotients of the division is 2, then find the number.
a) 78
b) 22
c) 106
d) 25

Ans) b
Exp) Option b is the correct answer.
Let the quotients when this number is divided by 4 and 7 be x and y respectively.
(Note that x will be greater than y as 4 is smaller than 7).
Number = 4x + 2 = 7y + 1
Given that, x – y = 2
On solving both equation we get, x=5, y=3
Thus, the number is 4×5+2= 22.

common difference between each terms (i.e. Marks obtained) = 5
So, average of best five subjects (A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6) will be equal to the marks obtained in A4
(middle term), i.e. Mathematics.
Now, when calculating the average of all the six subjects, (A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and A6), the average will be
the mean of A3 and A4.
It is known that the common difference between marks of A3 and A4 = 5
Mean of A3 and A4 = (A3 + A4)/2 = (A4 – 5 + A4)/2 = A4 – 2.5
Therefore, the average will be 2.5 marks less than the marks obtained in Mathematics.

Q.36) A and B run a 4 km race along a circular course of length 400 m. Their speeds are in the ratio 5:3. If
they start together in the same direction, how many times would A pass B (the start-off is not counted as
passing)?
a) 4 times
b) 5 times
c) 6 times
d) 7 times

Ans) c
Exp) Option c is the correct answer.
The length of the circular course is 400 m, so the number of complete rounds they will run to complete a
4 km race is:
4000 m / 400 m = 10 rounds
Let's assume that A is faster than B. Since A's speed is in the ratio 5:3 with B's speed, A will complete one
round in 5/3 times the time taken by B to complete one round.
Therefore, in the time taken by B to complete one round, A will complete (5/3) rounds.
In other words, A will pass B once every (5/3 - 1) = 2/3 rounds.
So, the number of times A will pass B in a complete race is:
10 rounds x 2/3 = 6.67 times
Since A cannot pass B a fractional number of times, we need to round down to the nearest integer.
Therefore, A will pass B 6 times (excluding the start-off) in a complete 4 km race.
