What will be the sum of the ages of the father and the son at present?

A 120 years

B 115 years

C 110 years

D 100 years
Answer: C

Downloaded from cracku.in

Explanation:
Let the present age of the son is x years and father's age is y years.

10 Year before, the age of the son was =x-10 and age of father =y-10

As per the condition given in the question,

7(x − 10)
y − 10 = 2

⇒ 2y − 20 = 7x − 70
⇒ 7x − 2y = 50 − − − − − −(i)
Now, The age of son after 10 year, will be x + 10 and father's age = y + 10
as per the given condition in the question,
9(x + 10)
⇒ y + 10 = 4

⇒ 4y + 40 = 9x + 90
⇒ 9x − 4y = −50 − − − − − −(ii)
From the equation (i) and (ii),

x = 30years and y = 80years

Hence the sum of the age= 80 + 30 = 110years

Question 51

If [8(x + y)3 − 27(x − y)3 ] ÷ (5y − x) = Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2 , then the value of (A + B + C) is:

A 26

B 16

C 13

D 19

Answer: B

Explanation:
From the given question,
Downloaded from cracku.in
[8(x + y)3 − 27(x − y)3 ] ÷ (5y − x) = Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2
⇒ [8(x + y)3 − 27(x − y)3 ] ÷ (5y − x)
(2x + 2y − 3x + 3y)(4(x + y)2 + 9(x − y)2 + 6(x − y)(x + y))
⇒ 5y − x

(5y − x)(4x2 + 4y2 + 8xy + 9x2 + 9y2 − 18xy + 6x2 − 6y2 )

⇒ 5y − x

(5y − x)(19x2 + 7y2 − 10xy)

⇒ (5y − x)

⇒ 19x2 + 7y2 − 10xy = Ax2 + Bxy + Cy2

Comparing both side with the respective terms,

⇒ A = 19, B = −10, C = 7
Hence, A+B+C = 19 − 10 + 7 = 16

Question 52

If the 8-digit number is 789x531y is divisible by 72, then the value of (5x — 3y) is:

A 1

B 2

C 0

D -1

Answer: D

Explanation:
As per the given question,

789x531y is divisible by 72

The given number will be divisible by 72, if it is individually divisible by 8 and 9.

Divisibility by 8- Any number is divisible by 8if the last three digit of that number is divisible by 8.

last 3 digit is 31y, it will be divisible by 8 if y=2

Divisibility by 9- Any number is always divisible by 9 if the sum of the digit of any number is evenly divisible by 9.

Hence, the required number = 7 + 8 + 9 + x + 5 + 3 + 1 + y = 33 + x + y

Now, y=2

the required number = 33 + x + 2 = 35 + x

if x=1, then it will be divisible.

Hence the value of 5x − 3y = 5 × 1 − 3 × 2 = 5 − 6 = −1

Question 53

The income of Raju is 20% more than his expenditure. If his income increases by 60% and his expenditure increases by 70%, then by
what percent does his savings increase/decrease?

A It decreases by 2%

Downloaded from cracku.in

B It increases by 2%

C It decreases by 10%

D It increases by 10%

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let the expenditure of Raju=100Rs.

So, income of Raju= 120Rs.

Hence, the saving amount=20Rs.

120 × 160
When the income was increased by 60%, then the new income amount = 100 = 192Rs.
170 × 100
The increased expenditure= 100 = 170Rs.

Hence, the new saving amount= 192 − 170 = 22Rs

(22 − 20) × 100 2 × 100
Hence, the required percentage = 20 = 20 = 10%

Question 55

The average weight of a certain number of students in a class is 68.5 kg. If 4 new students having weights 72.2 kg, 70.8 kg, 70.3 kg
and 66.7 kg join the class, then the average weight of all the students increases by 300 g. The number of students in the class,
initially, is:

A 16

B 21

C 11

D 26

Answer: A

Explanation:
As per the question,

The average weight of the students=68.5Kg

Let total number of students in the class =n and weight of the students = wn
wn
So, average weight of n students n = 68.5
wn + 72.2 + 70.8 + 70.3 + 66.7
As per the condition given in the question, n+4 = 68.5 + 0.3

⇒ 68.5n + 72.2 + 70.8 + 70.3 + 66.7 = 68.8 × (n + 4)

⇒ 68.5n + 280 = 68.8n + 275.2
⇒ 68.8n − 68.5n = 280 − 275.2
⇒ 0.3n = 4.8
Hence the required number of students n = 16

A 10

B 14

C 12

D 15

Answer: C

Explanation:
As per the question,
23 − x 32 − x
⇒ 39 − x = 56 − x

⇒ (23 − x)(56 − x) = (32 − x)(39 − x)

⇒ 23 × 56 − 23x − 56x + x2 = 32 × 39 − 32x − 39x + x2
⇒ 1288 − 79x + x2 = 1248 − 71x + x2
⇒ 79x − 71x = 1288 − 1248
⇒ 8x = 40

A 12

2
B 63

C 5

D 15

Answer: C

Explanation:
As per the given question,

Price of the article =1240 Rs.

Loss percentage =25%

1240 × 75
So, the selling price of the article = 100 = 310 × 3 = 930Rs.

As per the question, she bought another article from this amount, and the gain percentage=40%
930 × 140
Hence, the selling price of the article = 100 = 93 × 14 = 1302Rs.
(1302 − 1240) × 100 62 × 100
Hence, overall percentage profit = 1240 = 1240 = 5%

Now substituting the values in the above,

ar(△ABC) AX
⇒ ar(△DEF ) = ( DY )2

100C 5
⇒ 49 = ( DY )2

Now, taking the square root of both side,

10 5
⇒ 7 = DY
5×7 7

A takes 30 minutes more than B to cover a distance of 15 km at a certain speed. But if A doubles his speed, he takes one hour less
than B to cover the same distance. What is the speed (in km/h) of B?

A 5

B 6

1
C 62
1
D 52
Answer: B

Explanation:
Let the speed of A is V1 and speed of B is V2 .
Let B takes t hour to cover 15Km distance.
15
So, time taken by B to cover 15Km, t = V2

15
time taken by A to cover 15Km t + 0.5 = V1 --------(i)

As per the question, when V1 = 2× the initial velocity

15
Then time taken by A to cover 15Km, t − 1 = 2V1 --------(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii),

Hence the speed of the car B V2 = 2.5 = 6km/h

Question 60

How much iron sheet (in m 2 ) will be needed to construct a rectangular tank measuring 10 m × 8 m × 6 m, if a circular opening of
radius one meter is to be left at the top of the tank? (correct to one decimal place)

A 370.4

B 370.8

C 372.9

D 371.6

Answer: C

Explanation:
As per the given question,

The dimension of the tank = 10m × 8m × 6m

Hence, total surface area of the tank will be = 2(l × b + b × h + h × l)
⇒ 2(10 × 8 + 8 × 6 + 6 × 10) = 2(80 + 48 + 60) = 376
The area of the circular part = πr2 = π × 12 = π
Hence the required area = 376 − π = 372.86 ≅= 372.9m2

The compound interest on a certain sum in 2 2 years at 10% p.a., interest compounded yearly, is ₹1,623 The sum is:

A ₹5,000

B ₹6,000

C ₹7,200

D ₹6,500

Answer: B

Explanation:
As per the given question,

Let the sum amount is =P

1
time (t)=2 2

Rate of interest (R)= 10% p.a.

Compound interest =1,623 Rs.

R t
Now, we know that A = P (1 + 100 )

10 2
So, A = P (1 + 100 )

11 2
⇒ A = P ( 10 )

11 2
Compound interest in 2 years = P ( 10 ) − P

121P × R × t 121P × 10 × 1 121P

Interest in 1/2 years = 100 × 100 = 100 × 2 × 100 = 2000
121P 11 2
Hence, net interest, 1623 = 2000 + P ( 10 ) − P

121P 21P
⇒ 1623 = 2000 + 100

⇒ 541P = 1623 × 2000

⇒ P = 6000Rs.

all types of cars in 2017 ? (Correct to one decimal place) ?

A 15.8

B 18.2

C 18.4

D 17.6

Answer: D

Downloaded from cracku.in

Explanation:
As per the given data in the question,

Total production of cars of type B in 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2017 taken together = 39 + 45 + 54 + 72 = 210
Total production of all types of cars in 2017 = 255
(255 − 210) × 100 4500
Hence, the required percentage = 255 = 255 = 17.64%

Hence the required percentage = 17.64%

circles is x cm. The value of x (correct to one decimal place) is:

A 12.8

B 13.3

C 13.9

D 14.8

Answer: B

Explanation:
As per the given question,

Two circles are getting intersect at the point P and Q, as per the given below,

Downloaded from cracku.in

r1 = 10cm
and r2 = 8cm
PQ
⇒ P R = RQ = 2 = 6cm

We know that O'R and OR will be the perpendicular to the chord PQ and OO' have the length x.

Now, In △RO′ P and △P RO

⇒ OO′2 = P R2 + RO′2 and P O2 = P R2 + RO2

Now substituting the values in the above,

⇒ 102 = 62 + RO′2 and 82 = 62 + RO2

⇒ RO′2 = 100 − 36 and RO2 = 64 − 36
⇒ RO′2 = 64 and RO2 = 28
⇒ RO′ = 8 and RO = 2 7
Hence x = RO′ + RO = 8 + 2 7 = 13.3cm

complete 35% of that work in:

A 10 days

B 12 days

C 18 days

D 15 days

Answer: D

Explanation:
As per the given question,

The ratio in the efficiencies of A, B and C =4:5:3

Hence, A can complete the work in x/4 days

B can complete the work in x/5 days

4 5 3 1
Downloaded from cracku.in
 4 5 3 1
So, the work will be finish in one day, if they are working together x + x + x = 25
4+5+3 1
⇒ x = 25
12 1
⇒ x = 25

⇒ x = 300
300
Hence, A alone can finish the work = 4 = 75days

300
C alone can finish the wok = 3 = 100days
1 1 4+3 7
A and C can finish the work together in one day = 75 + 100 = 300 = 300

300
Hence, A and C can finish the work in = 7 days
300 × 35
Hence, A and C can finish 35% work = 7 × 100 = 15 days

A 8

1
B 62
1
C 52

D 5

Answer: D

Explanation:
Let the cost price of the article = x Rs.

given that loss percentage =4%

Hence
(CP − SP ) × 100
⇒4= CP
(x − 288) × 100
⇒4= x

⇒ 4x = 100x − 28800
⇒ 96x = 28800
28800
⇒ x = 96 = 300
(315 − 300) × 100 15 × 100
Hence the required percentage = 300 = 300 =5

If x + y + z = 19, xy + yz + zx = 114, then the value of x3 + y3 + z3 − 3xyz is:

A 13

B 19

C 17

D 21

Answer: B

Explanation:
Given that,
x + y + z = 19, xy + yz + zx = 114

We know that (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2(xy + yz + zx)

Hence, (x + y + z)2 − 2(xy + yz + zx) = x2 + y2 + z2
Now, substituting the values, (19)2 − 2(114) = x2 + y2 + z2
⇒ 361 − 228 = x2 + y2 + z2
⇒ x2 + y2 + z2 = 133

Now, ⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 − 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 − xy − yz − zx)

Now, substituting the values in the equation,

⇒ x3 + y3 + z3 − 3xyz = (19)(133 − 114) = 19 × 14 = 19

D 2(2 − 3)

 Answer: D

Explanation:
From the given question,

cos2 θ = 3(cot2 θ − cos2 θ)

cos2 θ
⇒ cos2 θ = 3 ( sin2 θ − cos2 θ)

cos2 θ − cos2 θ sin2 θ

⇒ cos2 θ = 3 ( sin2 θ )

1 − sin2 θ
⇒ cos2 θ = 3 cos2 θ ( sin2 θ )

cos2 θ
⇒ cos2 θ = 3 cos2 θ ( sin2 θ )

⇒ cos2 θ sin2 θ = 3 cos2 θ (cos2 θ)

⇒ cos2 θ sin2 θ = 3 cos4 θ
⇒ 3 cos4 θ − cos2 θ sin2 θ = 0
⇒ 3 cos4 θ − cos2 θ(1 − cos2 θ) = 0
⇒ 3 cos4 θ − cos2 θ + cos4 θ = 0
⇒ 4 cos4 θ − cos2 θ = 0
⇒ cos2 (4 cos2 θ − 1) = 0
⇒ 4 cos2 θ − 1 = 0 and cos2 θ = 0
⇒ 4 cos2 θ = 1 and cos2 θ = 0
1 π
⇒ cos2 θ = 4 and cos θ = cos( 2 ) = 0
1 π π
⇒ cos θ = 2 = cos 3 and cos θ = cos( 2 ) = 0
