1.
We have use put different values of n ( odd numbers ) greater than 1.
i.e. n=3, 5, 7, 9
When n=3 n(n2 –

1)= 24
When n=5 n(n2 –

1)= 120
When n=7 n(n2 –

1)=336
using options we find that all the numbers are divisible by 24
(c)
2.
Numbers are divisible by 8 if the number formed by the last three digits is evenly divisible by
8.
Numbers are divisible by 9 if the sum of all the individual digit is divisible by 9.
The number 774958A96B is divisible by 8 if 96B is divisible by 8. And 96B is divisible by 8
if B is either 0 and 8. Now to make the same number divisible by 9 sum of all the digits should
be divisible by 9. Hence, (55 + A + B) is divisible by 9 if (A + B) is either 0 or 8
i.e. either A = 0 or B = 8 or A = 8 or B = 0
Since, the number is divisible by both A and B. Hence, A and B may take either values i.e. 8
and 0
(b)

3.
Let the three even number are ( x – 2), x, (x + 2)
Then, 3(x – 2) – 2(x + 2) = 2
3x – 6 – 2x – 4 = 2 i.e. x=12
Hence, the third number is (12 + 2) = 14
(b)
4.
We have to take the L.C.M of 18, 24 and 32 i.e. 288 min.
Hence, bells will chime together again after 4 Hours and 48 Minutes.

Both the sequences ( 17, 21, 25 ……………… and (16, 21, 26….. are arithmetic progression with a
common difference of 4 and 5 respectively.
In both the sequence first common term is 21.
Hence a new arithmetic sequence containing the common terms of both the series can be formed
with a common difference of LCM of ( 4, 5) is 20
New sequence will be 21, 41, 61, ….401
nth term = a + (n-1)d
401= 21 + (n-1)20
n-1=19
Hence, n=20

The number required is greater than 999 and less than and equal to 4000.
Now out off our digits, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4.
To form a number greater than 999 and less than 4000.
The digit at thousands place can be selected in 3 ways( 0 and 4 cannot be taken )
The digit at hundreds place can be selected in 5 ways.
The digit at tens place can be selected in 5 ways.
Total required number of ways= 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 = 375 ways
Since, 4000 is also one of the required number.
Therefore, total number of ways=375 + 1

According to question, if two numbers say a and b are erased and replaced by a new number a
+ b – 1, then in every repetition, the number of integers gets reduced by 1 and consequently
at the last repetition there will be only one number left.
Whatever may be our selection of two numbers a and b. In any and every repetition, the final
number so arrived will not changes.
Now, the sum of integers from 1 to 40= n(n + 1)/2 = 820

15

As, discussed above the sum of integers of the first, second, third ……… repetitions will be
819, 818, 817, ………….. so on respectively. Therefore, after 39 operations there will be only
1 number left and that will be 820 – 39=781

Every combination of 5 and 2 will give one zero, and number of zero in the product of any
number is decided by the number of 2 and 5, whichever is less.
Hence, this problem can be solved by determining the number of 2 and 5 between 1 to 100.
Clearly there are 20 numbers which are divisible by 5. Besides, there are four numbers 25,
50, 75, and 100 which will have one addition 5. Hence, number of zeroes in the product of all
the numbers from 1 to 100 is 21.

Answers-
1. Let the marks scored in five subjects be 6a, 7a, 8a, 9a and 10a.
Total marks in all the five subjects= 40a
Max marks of the five subjects= 40a/0.6
(40a is 60% of total marks)
Hence, Max marks in each subject = 40a/(0.6 x 5)= 13.33a
Hence Percentage in each subject (%)=
*multiply each value by 100.

21

6a/13.33a= 45.01%
7a/13.33a= 52.51%
8a/13.33a= 60.01%
9a/13.33a=67.51%
10a/13.33a=75.01%
Number of papers in which he got more than 50% marks is 4.
3. Let the length, breadth and height of the room be 3,2 and 1 unit respectively.
Area of the four walls of the room = 2(l + b) h
=2 (3 + 2) x 1= 10 sq unit
New length, breadth and height of the room will be 6, 1 and 1/2 unit respectively.
Hence, new area of the four walls of the room = 2 (6+1) x 0.5= 7 sq unit.
Percentage decrease (%) = 10-7/10=30
4. Pens=A
Pencil=B
Eraser=C
Let, 5A + 7B + 4C = 100 —-(1)
then,
6A + 14B + 8C = 150 —-(2)

22

Mutliplying equation (1) and (2)
10A + 14B + 8C = 200
Now after solving equation (1) and (3) We get,
A=12.5
Hence, total amount paid for 5A=12.5 x 5=62.5
Hence, Percentage of the total amount paid by(%)=62.5

(c) 1:5 (d) 1:2

Solutions for Questions 1 and 2: Since there are 14 players who are in triathlon and pentathlon,
and
there are 8 who take part in all three games, there will be 6 who take part in only triathlon and
pentathlon.
Similarly,
Only triathlon and marathon = 12 – 8=4 & Only Pentathlon and Marathon = 15 – 8 = 7.

The figure above can be completed with values for each sport (only) plugged in:
The answers would be:
3 + 6 + 8 + 4 + 5 + 7 + 10 = 43. Option (b) is correct.
Option (a) is correct.
Solutions for Questions 3 and 4:

The given situation can be read as follows:
115 students are being counted 75+65+90= 230 times.
This means that there is an extra count of 115. This extra count of 115 can be created in 2 ways.
A. By putting people in the ‘passed exactly two subjects’ category. In such a case each person
would

get counted 2 times (double counted), i.e., an extra count of 1.
B. By putting people in the ‘all three’ category, each person put there would be triple counted. 1
person counted 3 times – meaning an extra count of 2 per person.
The problem tells us that there are 55 students who passed exactly two subjects. This means an
extra
count of 55 would be accounted for. This would leave an extra count of 115 – 55 = 60 more to be
accounted for by ‘passed all three’ category. This can be done by using 30 people in the ‘all 3’
category.
Hence, the answers are:
3. Option (b)

28

4. Option (a)
Solutions for Questions 5 to 8: Based on the information provided we would get the following
figure:

The answers could be read off the figure as:
5. [(20 – 10)/10] * 100 = 100%. Option (b) is correct.
6. 15% (from the figure). Option (a) is correct.
7. 10+10+15+15=50%. Option (c) is correct.
8. Only ice cream is 10% of the total. Hence, 10% of 180 =18. Option (b) is correct.
Solutions for Questions 9 to 15: If you try to draw a figure for this question, the figure would be
something like:

We can then solve this as:
x – 10 + 28 – x + x + 30 – x + x + 2 + 32 – x + x – 6 = 94 Æ x + 76 = 94 Æ x = 18.
Note: In this question, since all the values for the use of the set theory formula are given, we
can find the
missing value of students who liked all three as follows:
94 = 48 + 54 + 64 – 28 – 32 – 30 + All three Æ All three = 18
As you can see this is a much more convenient way of solving this question, and the learning
you take
away for the 3 circle situation is that whenever you have all the values known and the only
unknown
value is the center value – it is wiser and more efficient to solve for the unknown using the
formula
rather than trying to solve through a venn diagram.
Based on this value of x we get the diagram completed as:

The answers then are:
9. 8:12 = 2:3 Æ Option (c) is correct.
10. 12 % of 2000 = 240. Option (b) is correct.
11. 30/94 Æ more than 30%. Option (a) is correct.
12. 94%. Option (d) is correct.
13. Option (c) is correct as the ratio turns out to be 10:20 in that case.
14. 12:12 = 1:1 Æ Option (b) is correct.
15. 14%. Option (a) is correct.
16. 30 = 25 + 20 – x Æ x = 15. Option (b) is correct.
Solutions for Questions 17 to 20:
Let people who passed all three be x. Then:
53 + 61 + 60 – 24 – 35 – 27 + x = 95

29

Æ x = 7.

17. Option (c) is correct.
18. 33% of 200 = more than 50. Option (c) is correct.
19. If the number of students is increased by 50%, the number of students in each category
would also
be increased by 50%. Option (c) is correct.
20. 20:28 = 5:7. Option (a) is correct.
Solutions for Questions 21 to 25: The following figure would emerge on using all the
information in the
question:

The answers would then be:
21. 240/880 = 27.27%. Option (d) is correct.
22. 504/880 = 57.27%. Hence, less than 60. Option (c) is correct.
23. 40 + 16 + 56 + 24 = 136. Option (c) is correct.
24. Option a gives us 16:128 = 1:8. Option (a) is hence correct.
25. 40:160 Æ 1:4. Option (b) is correct.

Total marks in all the five subjects= 40a

Max marks of the five subjects= 40a/0.6

(40a is 60% of total marks)

Hence Percentage in each subject (%)=

*multiply each value by 100.

=2 (3 + 2) x 1= 10 sq unit

Percentage decrease (%) = 10-7/10=30

Let, 5A + 7B + 4C = 100 —-(1)

6A + 14B + 8C = 150 —-(2)

10A + 14B + 8C = 200

Now after solving equation (1) and (3) We get,

Hence, total amount paid for 5A=12.5 x 5=62.5

Hence, Percentage of the total amount paid by(%)=62.5
