11𝑥
⇒ = 44
18
⇒ x=

Thus, by replacing 6 by 9, variation in the sum is
14. (d)
3 × 10 + 3 × 10 × 10 = 330
If free luggage is y kg, then Raja has x kg, and Rahim has
23. (b) Let the required numbers be xy.
2x kg extra luggage.
Then, (yx) – (xy) = 18
Then, 2y + 3x = 60
10y + x – 10x – y = 18
If 3x kg extra luggage cost 3600, then 5400 will be cost
⇒ 9(y – x) = 18

⇒ y = 2𝑥
⇒ x = 10 kg 24. (a) Number from 1 to 8 which is divisible by 8 and whose
and y =15 kg at least one digit is 8 are (8, 48, 80, 88)
So, Rahim's luggage is y + 2x = 35 kg total number of digit = 4
25. (c)
15. (d) Perfect squares and cubes are = 2
If x is the number of rows, then if number of children in 26. (c) Suppose number of boys = b
last row is y, then 1st boy dances with 5 girls (1 + 4 = 5)
y + (y + 3) + (y + 6) +...+{ y + 3(x – 1)} = 630 2nd boy dances with 6 girls (2 + 4 = 6)
3(x – 1) 3rd boy dances with 7 girls (3 + 4 = 7)
⇒ xy + 2 630
∴ bth boy dances with (b + 4) girls
x = 3 ⇒ 3y + 9 = 630 (possible, y = 207) Hence, g = b + 4 ⟹ b = g – 4
x = 4 ⇒ 4y + 18 = 630 (possible, y = 153)
27. (b) Suppose, 22 + 32 < 42 (∵ 4 + 9 < 16)
x = 5 ⇒ 5y + 30 = 630 (possible, y = 120) ⟹ 23 +33 43 (∵ 8 + 27 < 64)
x = 6 ⇒ 6y+ 45 = 630 (impossible) ⟹ 24 +34 < 44 (∵ 16 + 81 < 256)

So, solving the pattern be conclude that for higher value

n>1
2n + 3n < 4n
Then, X + Y < Z
The difference between P and T is 5
33. (c) Let the ages of Ajith, Babita, Chetu, Das are A, B, C, D
28. (b) Let x and y be the certain number of males and
yr. Age of Ajith is three times that of Babita i.e. A = 3B
females. 𝐷
Chetu is half the age of Das i.e. C =
Then, by condition, 2
1 Babita is older than Chetu i.e. B > C.
x = 2 (𝑦 − 15)
Statement I Chetu is 10 yr old. This statement is necessary
⇒ 2x = y – 15
to find the age of Ajith.
⇒ 2x – y = – 15 …(i)
Statement II This statement is again necessary to find the
5 (x - 45) = y
age of Ajith.
5x - y = 225 ...(ii) Hence, both statements I and II are necessary to estimate
And On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
the age of Ajith.
3x = 240
34. (c) In the word CYBERNETICS,

alphabet. The place value of 'l' is 9.
29. (a) x, y, z are distinct integers.
and x and y are odd positive integers and z is even positive
35. (c) Here, 231 is divided by 5
integers.
231 = 230 × 21
Then, (x – z) = Odd number
= (22 )15 × 2
(xc – z)2 = Odd positive number

and (x – z)2.y = Odd × Even = even = (-1 + 5) × 2 = 4 × 2 = 8 ÷ 5 = 3
30. (a)
36. (b) Here
Total money lost by B: ₹3.
Total money won by C: ₹12.
Total money won by A: let's calculate.
From A's 3 wins: 3*6=₹18. So, total 3 digits number divisible by 5
But A might have lost money in other games. = 5 × 4 × 1 = 20
If total games are G, A has lost (G -3) games, losing ₹3 37. (a) Here,
each, We have, to find LCM of 78 paise, 69 paise and 101
so total loss:3*(G -3). paise.
Therefore, A's net gain is And,
18 -3*(G -3)=27 -3G. 78 = 1 × 50 + 2 × 10 + 2 × 4 = 5 coins
For the total money to be conserved, total net gains 69 = 1 × 50 + 1 × 10 + 1 × 5 + 2 × 2 = 5
should be zero: 101 = 1 ×101 = 1 × 50 + 4 × 10 + 1 × 5 + 3 × 2 = 9
A's net gain + B's net gain + C's net gain=0. So, LCM = 2 × 3 × 13 × 23 × 101 =181194
Which is: 38. (c) Even if first 2 are different colours, 3rd one has to be
(27 -3G) + (-3) +12=0 black or brown. So, the smallest number of socks will be
27 -3G +9=0 3.
36 -3G=0 39. (d) There are 19 numbers which has 6 as a digit when
G=12. unit digit 6 is replaced by 9, then sum of numbers will be
31. (b) Total number of students when there were 24 students increase by = 3 ×10 = 30
in each of From 60 to 69 there are 10 numbers which have ten's
13 sections = 13 × 24 = 312 digit 6.
Total number of students when three new section were Here, the increase will be 30 ×10 = 300
added with 21 students in each of 16 sections ∴ Total increase = 30 + 300 = 330
= 21 × 16 = 336 40. (a) Let the number of children be x.
Number of newly admitted students = 336 – 312 = 24 𝑥
∴ x × = 405
32. (b) On the basis of the given information, the integer
5
⟹ 𝑥 2 = 5 × 405 = 2025
assigned to N is 6.
⟹ 𝑥 = √2025 = 45
This is explained below
41. (c) At C, number of passenger = 55
The difference between N and Tis 3 5
∴ Total number of passenger at B = × (55 − 3)

According to the question 𝑃 + 𝑥 − 𝑦 is divisible by 10 . Out of which 105,126,147,168 and 189 are divisible by
So, 7 and from remaining numbers
𝑃 is largest then 102,108,114,120,132,138 ,
𝑃 + 𝑥 − 𝑦 ≥ 10 144,150,156,162,174,180,186,192 and 198 are even
𝑥−𝑦 ≤𝑃 numbers.
These inequalities can be written in equation form ∴ 𝑥 = 33 − 20 = 13
and
𝑃 + 𝑥 − 𝑦 = 10 50. (b) Let the fare of 1 ticket from city A to B be ₹ 𝑥 and
𝑥−𝑦 =𝑃 the fare of 1 ticket from city A to C be ₹ 𝑦
On subtracting eq. (iv) by (iii), we get According to the question,
𝑃 + 𝑥 − 𝑦 − 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 10 − 𝑃 2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 77
⇒ 𝑃 = 10 − 𝑃
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 73
⇒ 2P = 10
10 On solving Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get
P= 2 =5 𝑥 = 13, 𝑦 = 17
44. (b) Caterpillar crawls upward (5 − 4),1 inch in a day. ∴ The fares for cities B and C from A are ₹ 13 and ₹ 17 ,
Upto 70th day, caterpillar crawls upward 70 inches. respectively.
On 71st day, caterpillar crawls upward 75 cm at the end
of the day. 51. (b) A caterpillar crawls up 5 inches each day and slides

Hence, Number between 1 and 1000 which are divisible ∴ In 1 day it crawls up 1 inch.
by 60 = 16 Hence, in 70 days it crawls up 70 inches.
At the end of 71 days it will crawl up 5 inches again.
46. (c) Number of balls in 1st layer = 1 Hence, at the end of 71 days it will reach the top of the
Number of balls in 2nd layer = 3 = 1 + 2 pole.
Number of balls in 3rd layer = 6 = 1 + 2 + 3 52. (a) Let the cost of CD be Rs.y

The above condition is satisfied only for 𝑛 = 36 Now, given 1000 < y < 1100
47. (a) The last digit can be obtained by multiplying the x = 46
last digits of the given numbers. So, number of friends who actually contributed is
Here, 82 × 85, i.e. 2 × 5 = 10 ⇒ 46 – 2 = 44
