1. Area = xy New lengths = (x + 100) New area = (x + 100) y Increase = xy + 100y xy = 100y Hence (E) 2. P(A) =
3 (P(B) 2
P(C) = 2(P(B) Hence P(A) : P(B) : P(C) :: Or 3 : 2 : 4 P(A) is maximum When P(C) is maximum Maximum value of P(C) = 1 For P(C) = 1, P(A) = Hence (D) 3. Let the initial number of commuters be x No. of commuters at End of July = x(1 - .15)

= .85K At end of August = .85 x (1 - .1) = .85 (.9) x = .765 x Now, Let the reqd. Percentage be P 1 +
1+ 9 ( .765 x ) = x 100
p x = = 1.307 100 .765 x p = .307 100
or
or p = 30.7% Hence (D) 4 d s2 Given s1 = 20 d = 10 For s2 = 60 d2 : ? Hence
d1 s1 = 2 2 d 2 s2

= 90 m Hence (D) 5. Let the original manufacturing cost of parts p and labour cost being 3p. Hence total cost = p + 3p = 4p Net Cost Manufacturing cost of parts = Labour = 1 3 p = 1.2 p 100 New total cost = 1.2p + .5 p = 1.7 p Decrease = 4p 1.7p = 2.3p % decrease = Hence (D) 6. (A) = 1 + .04 = 1.04 (B) = (1 - .04)2 = 1 + .0016 - .08 (C) = 1 - .2 = .8 (D) = 1 + (.04)2 = 1 +.0016 = 1.0016 (E) = 1 - .000064 = .999936 Hence (E) 7. Let the amount be x Int = .065 x Total amount to be repayed = 1 + .065 x

= 1.065x Given 1.065x = 1600 x = 1502
Hence Answer is D 8. Formula to be used is Load x Load arm = effort x effort arm Here load = 8 gm Load arm = 22 cm Effort arm = 10 cm Effort = ? Effort = load x load arm/effort arm =
8 22 :17.6 g 10
Hence (B) 9. Let two have taken by B be x hrs hence, have taken by A is hrs 2 1 hr B class of the room x A class of the room x Working together, in 1 hr pay

Class + of the room x xx So 3 = 1 x Or, x = 9 Hence, A alone with take Hence (D) 10. Total number of copies to be made = 120 x 60 = 7200 3600 pages have to be reduced. 3600 pages will take 3600 sec as Machine Mean while machine y will have made In 1 hr 3600 + 1800 = 5400 pages have been done Balance 7200 5400 = 1800 Together both machines copy 3/2 pages in sec. Hence 1800 pages will take
1800 = 1200 sec or 20 minutes. 312 3600 = 1800 pages 2 9 or 4.5 hrs. 2 3
23
Hence total hrs is 1 hr 20 minutes Hence (B) 11. 13 + x3 + 83 = 93 or 1, + x3 + 512 = 729 or x3 = 729 512 1 = 216

or x = 6 Hence (D) 12. % of investments that nature in more than 1 yr but less than 2 yrs. Percent of investment that will nature in more than 1 yr percent of investment that will where is more than 2 hrs = 81 27 = 54% Hence (D)
13. For greatest 4 digit number 1st digit = 9 2nd digit = 8 Sum of first two digits = 17 Sum of four digits is given as 23, hence Sum of 3rd and 4th digit has to he 23 17 = 6 So, third digit can be 6 & the fourth digit O. Hence (C) 14. Let the number of questions answered correctly be x. Hence Score : x (200 x) According to condition x (200 x)

or, 5x 200 + x 500 or, 6x 700 x 116.6 or x 117 Hence (C) 15. Time taken in correcting 1st half = Increasing second half = Total time = Speed = =
50 90 50 60
50 50 90 + 100 + = 60 90 180
Total distance Total time
100 100 = 180 = 72 250 /180 250
Hence (B)
16. Total time = 8hrs 24 minutes Break = 45 minutes Hence working time = 7 hrs 39 minutes Correcting into decimals : 7 + = 7.65 Hence (D)

17. A = 1,2,3.. 25 B = 1,3,5 .. 50 C = 3,6,9,12,75 Common values = Odd multiples of 3 = 3,9,15,21 Hence (B) 18. Sum of positive divisors of a = 1+2+4=7 Sum of the divisors of 8 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 8 = 15 of 12 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 +12 = 28 of 24 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 12 + 24 = 60 of 28 = 1+2+4+7+14+28 = 56 = 2 x 28 = 56 = 2 x 28 Hence (E) 19. Let there be n number and their sum be s
According to condition
s 20 = (s) n 100
Hence n = 5 Hence (A) 20. For x = 3
