6. From a circular sheet of paper with a radius 20 cm, four circles

of radius 5 cm each are cut out. What is the ratio of the uncut to
the cut portion?
(A) 1: 3 (B) 4: 1
(C) 3: 1 (D) 4: 3
Ans. [C]
Area of the original paper = (20)2 = 400cm2. The total cut
portion area = 4()(5)2 = 100cm2. Therefore, area of the
uncut (shaded) portion = (400 – 100) = 300cm2.
Hence, the required ratio = 300: 100= 3: 1.
7. The cost of diamond varies directly as the square of its weight.
Once, this diamond broke into four pieces with weights in the
ratio 1: 2: 3: 4. When the pieces were sold, the merchant got
Rs. 70,000 less. Find the original price of the diamond.
(A) Rs. 1.4 lakh
(B) Rs. 2 lakh
(C) Rs. 1 lakh
(D) Rs. 2.1 lakh
Ans. [C]
Let the original weight of the diamond be 10x. Hence, its
original price will be k (100x2) . . . where k is a constant.
The weights of the pieces after breaking are x, 2x, 3x and 4x.
Therefore, their prices will be kx2, 4kx2, 9kx2 and 16kx2. So
the total price of the pieces = (1 + 4 + 9 + 16) kx2 = 30kx2.
Hence, the difference in the price of the original diamond and
its pieces = 100kx2 – 30kx2 = 70kx2 = 70000.
Hence, kx2 = 1000 and the original price = 100kx2 = 100 ×
1000 = 100000 = Rs. 1 lakh.

9. In a watch, the minute hand crosses the hour hand for the third
time exactly after every 3 hr 18 min and 15 s of watch time. What
is the time gained or lost by this watch in one day?
(A) 14 min 10 s lost
(B) 13 min 50 s lost
(C) 13 min 20 s gained
(D) 14 min 40 s gained
Ans. [B]
In a watch that is running correct, the minute hand should
5
cross the hour hand once in every 65  11 min. So they should
 720  2060
ideally cross three times once in 3   11 min = 196.36
 11 
min. But in the watch under consideration they meet after
every 3 hr, 18 min and 15 s, i.e. (3 × 60 + 18 + 15
60

793
4
min =
198.25 min. In other words, our watch is actually losing time
(as it is slower than the normal watch). Hence, when our
watch elapsed 198.25 min, it actually should have elapsed
196.36 min. So in a day, when our watch will elapse (60 × 24)
= 1440, it should actually elapse 1440  196.36 
198.25 
= 1426.27.
 

Hence, the amount of time lost by our watch in one day =

(1440 – 1426.27) = 13.73, i.e. 13 min and 50 s
(approximately).
10. I sold two watches for Rs. 300 each, one at the loss of 10%
and the other at the profit of 10%. What is the percentage of
loss(–) or profit(+) that resulted from the transaction?
(A) (+)10
(B) (–)1
(C) (+)1
(D) (–)10
Ans. [B]
In this case, we need not use the data that SP = Rs. 300 each.
This has to be used only to figure out that the SP of both the
articles is the same. Also since the profit percentage on one is
equal to the loss percentage on the other, viz. 10% effectively,
2
it will be a loss given by (10)
100
 1% . Hence, the correct answer

is (–)1.

true?
(A) L is brother of F
(B) F is sister of L
(C) F is brother of J
(D) L is brother of J
Ans. [B]
Explanation:
F # J → F is the sister of J, J * T → J is the son of T T $ R
→ T is the husband of R and R @ L → R is the mother of L.
Hence F is sister of L.

15. Which of the following indicates the relationship ‘R is

daughter of T’?
 (A) R#F*B@T
(B) R#F*B$T
(C) T@B#R*F

18. The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 3 : 2
: 1. If the breadth and height are halved while the length is
doubled, then the total area of the four walls of the room will
(A) remain the same
(B) decrease by 13.64%
(C) decrease by 15%
(D) decrease by 30%
Ans. [D]
Let the initial length, breadth and height of the room be
3x, 2x and x respectively.
Initial area of the four walls = 2 ( 3x + 2x) x = 10x2
The new dimensions are: length = 6x, breadth = x and height

19. The sum of four consecutive two-digit odd numbers, when

divided by 10, becomes a perfect square.
Which of the following can possibly be one of these four
numbers?
(A) 21 (B) 25
(C) 41 (D) 67
Ans. [C]
By option (3), if four consecutive odd numbers are 37, 39, 41
and 43, then sum of these 4 numbers is 160.
When divided by 10, we get 16, which is a perfect square.
41 is one of the odd numbers.

20. What are the values of x and y that satisfy both the equations?

40.3x  90.2y  8.(81)5

(A) x = 2,y = 5
(B) x = 2.5, y = 6
(C) x = 3, y = 5
 (D) x = 5, y = 2
Ans. [D]
Equation (ii) can be written as
40.3x× 90.2y= 8 × (81)1/5
⇒(22)0.3x(32)0.2y= 8 ×(81)1/5
⇒20.6x30.4y= 23 ×(34)1/5= 23 ×34/5
⇒0.6x = 3 ⇒x = 5 and 0.4y = 4/5
⇒y =2
If we put the values of x and y in first equation these values
satisfy the first equation also.
So the answer is x = 5, y = 2

(A) 1 (B) 2
(C) 3 (D) 4
Ans. [C]
We can rewrite
10x • 1002x = 10005 as 105x = 1015
10x • 1002x = 10x • (102)2x
10x • 104x = (103)5
105x = 1015
Since the bases are equal, we can set the exponents equal,
giving us 5x = 15, Solving the equation gives us x = 3

25. Aakash, Rahul, and Sunil went on a vacation and agreed to

split the costs evenly, During their trip Aakash paid ` 105
Rahul paid ` 175. in order to share costs equally, Aakash gave
Sunil t rupees, and Rahul gave Sunil d rupees. What is t – d?

(A) 15 (B) 20
(C) 30 (D) 35
Ans. [B]
The total amount paid is 105 + 125 + 175 = 405. To get how
much each should have paid, we do 405/3 = 135
Thus, we know that Aakash needs to give Sunil 30 rupees, and
Rahul 10 rupees. This means that t - d = 30 = 20.

30. Let n (>1) be a composite integer such that n is not an integer.

Consider the n following statements:
A: n has a perfect integer-valued divisor which is greater than
1 and less than n
B: n has a perfect integer-valued divisor which is greater than
n but less than n

(A) Both A and B are false

(B) A is true but B is false
(C) A is false but B is true
(D)Both A and B are true
Ans. [D]
Let n = 6.
Therefore, n  6  2.4
Therefore, divisors of 6 are 1, 2 and 3.
If we take 2 as divisor, then, n >2 >1.
Therefore, statement A is true.
If we take 3 as divisor, then 6 > 3 > 2.4, i.e., n > 3 > n .
Therefore, statement B is also true.

31. Let a, b, c, d and e be integers such that a = 6b = 12c, and 2b

32. The equation 7x–1 + 11x–1 = 170 has

(A) No solution (B) One solution
(C) Two solutions (D) Three solutions
Ans. [B]
7x-1 + 11x-1 = 170
We can see that the RHS is a multiple of 10
11x-1 has 1 in its units place.
 7x – 1 should have 9 in its units place.
 The lowest value for which this is true is x=3
72 + 112 = 170
We can see that the for any other value of x, which is greater
than 3,
7x–1 + 11x-1> 170

36. A student gets an aggregate of 60% marks in five subjects in
the ratio 10: 9: 8: 7: 6. If the passing marks are 50% of the
maximum marks and each subject has the same maximum
marks, in how many subjects did he pass the examination?
(A) 2 (B) 3
(C) 4 (D) 5
Ans. [C]
Let his marks be 100, 90, 80, 70 and 60 in the five subjects.
Hence, totally he has scored 400 marks. This constitutes only 60%
of the total marks. Hence, total marks  400 0.6
 667 Since the total

marks in each subject is the same, hence maximum marks in each

subject will be  667 
5 
133 Out of this 50% is the passing marks. In

other words, to pass in a subject he needs to score 66.5 marks. We

can see that only in one subject he scored less than this, viz. 60.
Hence, he passed in 4 subjects.

38. A dealer buys dry fruits at Rs.100, Rs.80 andRs. 60 per
kilogram. He mixes them in the ratio 3: 4: 5 by weight, and
sells at a profit of 50%. At what price per kilogram does he
sell the dry fruit?
(A) Rs.80 (B) Rs.100
(C) Rs.95 (D) None of these
Ans. [D]
Let he mix 3 kg, 4 kg and 5 kg of dry fruits at Rs. 100, Rs. 80 and
at Rs.60 per kilogram respectively. Hence, his effective cost of
the dry fruits per kilogram should be the weighted average

In order to make a 50% profit, he will have to sell it at

per kilogram. Since none of the answer-choices confirms this, the

answer is (D).

39. An express train travelling at 80 km/hr overtakes a goods

Ans. [C]
Effective speed of two trains = (80 – 40) = 40 km/hr. (Since they
are moving in the same direction as inferred from the word
‘overtakes’). At this speed in 54 s, they would travel an effective
distance of 403600
 54
= 0.6 km or 600 m.
This effective distance should be equal to the sum of the lengths
of the two trains. So, if length of the express train is L, length of
the goods train will be 2L. Hence, our equation will be L + 2L =
600
or L = 200 m.
So, the time taken by this train to cross a platform 400 m long
will be
200  400

(Note that we have converted the denominator in metres per

second. Hence, the factor of 58)

40. P and Q are two positive integers such that PQ = 64. Which
of the following cannot be the value of P + Q?
(A) 20 (B) 65
(C) 16 (D) 35
Ans. [D]
If we were to express 64 as product of two positive integers, we
can get the following combinations: (64×1), (32×2), (16×4),
(8×8). Thus, we find that P+Q cannot be 35.

41. Lance, Sally, Joy and Fred are chosen for the team. In how
many ways can the three starters be chosen?
(A) 2 (B) 4
 (C) 6 (D) 8
Ans. [B]
When three players start, one is the alternate. Because any of the
four players might be the alternate, there are four ways to select a
starting team: Lance-Sally-Joy, Lance-Sally-Fred, Lance-Joy-
Fred and Sally-Joy-Fred.

42. After Sally takes 20 shots, she has made 55% of her shots.
After she takes 5 more shots, she raises her percentage to 56%.
How many of the last 5 shots did she make?
(A) 1 (B) 2
(C) 3 (D) 4
Ans. [C]
If Sally makes 55% of her 20 shots, she makes 0.55×20 = 11
shots. If Sally makes 56% of her 25 shots, she makes 0.56×25 =
14 shots. So she makes 14–11 = 3 of the last 5 shots.

43. An athlete's target heart rate, in beats per minute, is 80%

of the theoretical maximum heart rate. The maximum heart
rate is found by subtracting the athlete's age, in years, from
220. To the nearest whole number, what is the target heart rate
of an athlete who is 26 years old?

(A) 134 (B) 155

 (C) 176 (D) 194
Ans. [B]
A 26-year-old's target heart rate is 0:8(220–26) = 155.2 beats per
minute. The nearest whole number is 155.

44. The numbers -2, 4, 6, 9 and 12 are rearranged according to

these rules:
1. The largest isn't first, but it is in one of the first three
places.
2. The smallest isn't last, but it is in one of the last three
places.
3. The median isn't first or last.
What is the average of the first and last numbers?
(A) 3.5 (B) 5
(C) 6. (D) 7.5
Ans. [C]
The largest, smallest and median occupy the three middle places,
so the other two numbers, 9 and 4, are in the first and last places.
The average of 9 and 4 is 9 2 4  6.5

45. Ten years ago, the ages of the members of a joint family of
eight people added up to 231 years. Three years later, one
member died at the age of 60 years and a child was born
during the same year. After another three years, one more
member died, again at 60, and a child was born during the
 same year. The current average age of this eight-member joint
family is nearest to
(A) 23 years (B) 22 years
(C) 21 years (D) 24 years
Ans. [D]
The total age of all the eight people in the family = 231 As per
the information given in the question, the total age of all the
people in the family=231+3×8–60+0=195 Similarly, the total
age of the people in the family four years ago = 195 + 3 × 8 –
60 + 0 = 159.
Therefore, the current average age of all the people in the
family
159  32

46. What is the area enclosed by the geoboard quadrilateral

below?

(A) 15 (B) 18 12

(D) 27
Ans. [C]
47. Thirteen black and six white hexagonal tiles were used to
create the figure below. If a new figure is created by attaching
a border of white tiles with the same size and shape as the
others, what will be the difference between the total number
of white tiles and the total number of black tiles in the new
figure?

(A) 5 (B) 7
(C) 11 (D) 12
Ans. [C]

The next border requires an additional 6×3=18 white tiles. A

total of 24 white and 13 black tiles will be used, so the
difference is 24–13 = 11.

48. Three friends have a total of 6 identical pencils, and each one
has at least one pencil. In how many ways can this happen?
(A) 1 (B) 3
(C) 6 (D) 10
Ans. [D]
 The largest number of pencils that any friend can have is four.
There are 3 ways that this can happen: (4; 1; 1), (1; 4; 1) and
(1; 1; 4). There are 6 ways one person can have 3 pencils: (3;
2; 1), (3; 1; 2), (2; 3; 1), (2; 1; 3), (1; 2; 3) and (1; 3; 2). There
is only one way all three can have two pencils each: (2; 2; 2).
The total number of possibilities is 3 + 6 + 1 = 10
49. Spinners A and B are spun. On each spinner, the arrow is
equally likely to land on each number. What is the probability
that the product of the two spinners' numbers is even?

1 1
(A) 4
(B) 3

1 2
(C) 2
(D) 3

Ans. [D]
In eight of the twelve outcomes the product is even: 1 × 2, 2
×1, 2 ×2, 2 × 3, 3 × 2, 4 × 1, 4 × 2, 4 × 3. In four of the twelve,
the product is odd: 1 × 1, 1 ×3, 3 ×1, 3 ×3. So the probability
8 2
that the product is even is 12 or .

50. At a party there are only single women and married men with
their wives. The probability that a randomly selected woman
is single is 23 . What fraction of the people in the room are
married men?
 1 3
(A) 3
(B) 8

2 5
(C) 5
(D) 12

Ans. [B]
Because 25 of all the women in the room are single, there are
two single women for every three married women in the
room. There are also two single women for every three
married men in the room. So out of every 2 + 3 + 3 = 8 people,
3 are men. The fraction of the people who are married men is
