A) 70 B) 71 C) 72 D) 73 Ans. C let x be total no. of deer, x/2 be half of the herd, 3/4{x/2} be three fourth of remaining half, so, x/2 + 3/4{(x/2} + 9 = x x/2 + 3x/8 + 9 = x 8x/8 – 4x/8 – 3x/8 = 9 x/8 = 9 x = 72

Q.1 Hasan buys two kinds of cloth materials for school uniforms, shirt material that costs him Rs 50 per metre and trouser material that costs him Rs 90 per metre. For every 3 meters of the shirt material he buys 2 metres of the trouser material. He sells the materials at 12% and 10% profit respectively. His total sale is Rs 36,600. How much trouser material did he buy? A) 198 m B) 199 m C) 200 m D) 201 m Ans. C Let 2x m of trouser material and 3x m of shirt material be bought by him.Per metre selling price of trouser material = = Rs 100.80Per metre selling price of shirt material = = Rs 55Given that, total amount of selling = Rs 36660100.80 × (2x) + 55 × (3x) = 36660201.60x + 165x = 36660366.60x = 36660Dividing both sides by 366.60, we obtainx = 100Trouser material = 2x m = (2 × 100) m = 200 m Q.2 The organisers of an essay competition decide that a winner in the competition gets a prize of Rs 100 and a participant who does not win gets a prize of Rs 25. The total prize money distributed is Rs 3,000. Find the number of winners, if the total number of participants is 63. A) 16 B) 17 C) 18 D) 19 Ans. D Let the number of winners be x. Therefore, the number of participants who did not win will be 63 – x.Amount given to the winners = Rs (100 × x) = Rs 100xAmount given to the participants who did not win = Rs [25(63 – x)]= Rs (1575 – 25x)According to the given question,100x + 1575 – 25x = 3000On transposing 1575 to R.H.S, we obtain75x = 3000 – 157575x = 1425On dividing both sides by 75, we obtainx = 19Hence, number of winners = 19 Q.3 Lakshmi is a cashier in a bank. She has currency notes of denominations Rs 100, Rs 50 and Rs 10, respectively. The ratio of the number of these notes is 2:3:5. The total cash with Lakshmi is Rs 4,00,000. How many notes of each denomination does she have? A) Rs. 10 notes= 5000 , Rs.50 notes = 3000 , Rs. 100 notes = 2000 B) Rs. 10 notes = 5000 , Rs. 50 notes = 3000 , Rs. 100 notes = 1000 C) Rs. 10 notes = 5000 , Rs. 50 notes = 3000 , Rs. 100 notes = 2500 D) Rs. 10 notes = 5000 , Rs. 50 notes = 3000 , Rs. 100 notes = 1500 Ans. A Let the common ratio between the numbers of notes of different denominations be x. Therefore, numbers of Rs 100 notes, Rs 50 notes, and Rs 10 notes will be2x, 3x, and 5x respectively.Amount of Rs 100 notes = Rs (100 × 2x) = Rs 200xAmount of Rs 50 notes = Rs (50 × 3x)= Rs 150xAmount of Rs 10 notes = Rs (10 × 5x) = Rs 50xIt is given that total amount is Rs 400000.? 200x + 150x + 50x = 400000? 400x = 400000On dividing both sides by 400, we obtainx = 1000Number of Rs 100 notes = 2x = 2 × 1000 = 2000Number of Rs 50 notes = 3x = 3 × 1000 = 3000Number of Rs 10 notes = 5x = 5 × 1000 = 5000 Q.4 A person has only Rs. 1 and Rs. 2 coins with her.

For minimum wastage the lengths to be ordered should be : A) 24 ft B) 26 ft C) 12 ft D) 22 ft Ans. D Just see Options, & according to the options just put values & then find the wastage: Each 6ft board yields one 5 ½ board with ½ waste Each 12 ft board yields two 5 ½ board with 1 ft waste (2*5 ½ =11, 12-11 = 1 ft waste) Each 24 ft board yields four 5 ½ boards with 2ft waste (4*5 ½ =22, 24-22 = 2 ft waste) Each 22ft board may be divided into four 5 ½ ft boards with no waste (4*5 ½ = 22) Q.2 A gardener plants 17,956 trees in such a way that there are many rows as are trees in a row.

If he had Rs.1200 with him, what was the maximum number of trousers that he could have purchased , if he had also wanted to purchase some shirts ? A) 5 B) 8 C) 2 D) 6 Ans. D We have to find greatest multiple of 150 contained in 1200, such that there is a remainder which is a multiple of 100 (i.e. Just divide 1200/150 in such a way that it leaves a remainder which is divisible by 100) Therefore, 1200 = 150*6+3*100 Therefore he can buy 6 trousers along with the 3 shirts Q.4 Karan ranked thirteen from the top & twenty six from the bottom among those who have passed in the annual examination in a class.
