6. (B) Let original number be 100
1. (C) 0 × 130 = 0
Given 25% increased ⇒ New number
2 6, 14, 16 = 125
2. (D)
3, 7, 6
25% decreased ⇒ 125 20% of 125
LCM of 6, 14 and 16 = 336
= 125 25 = 100
3. (C) Amount given by Hari = 450 7. (B) Given ratio = 3 : 4 : 5 = 3x : 4x : 5x
Part of amount spent on food
P and Qs marbles = 3x + 4x = 7x
1
= of < 450

∴7x = 315
Part of amount spent on clothes x = 45
2 ∴Rs marbles = 5x = 5 × 45 = 225

45
= 0.05
4. (C) Except C option remaining are not
polygons. Number of local calls = x minutes.
5. (B) Area of the poster ∴ Charge for local calls = (0.05 x)
= 2.5 × 2.5 sq m Charge per minute for long distance
calls = 0.12
= 6.25 sq m
Number of long distance calls = y
Area of the wall
∴ Charge of long distance calls
= 10.5 × 8.5 sq m
= (0.12 y)
= 89.25 sq m
Therefore, the required expression for
Area of the wall to be painted
total cost = (0.05 x + 0.12 y)
= (89.25 6.25) sq m

13. (A) Smallest number = 23 22. (A) 33 (0.6)3 = 27 (0.216) = 27 + 0.216
Biggest number = 37 = 27.216
Difference = 37 23 = 14 23. (D) 81 → 3 × 3 × 3 × 3
14. (A) 36 13 − (12 25 + 13 12 + 5 154 ) 108 → 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3
HCF of 81 and 108 is 27
109 62 27 79
= − + + ⇒ p + 3 = 27
