Q.1 [11831809]
A bookseller sells three types of notebooks - A, B and C. The product of the prices (in Rs.) of three types is equal
to 6400. The prices of A and B are in the ratio 2 : 5 respectively. If the bookseller decides to increase the prices
of A and B by Rs. 12 each, keeping the price of C unchanged, the product is then changed to 25,600. Find the
sum of the original prices (in Rs.) of a piece of A, B and C each.

Q.2 [11831809]
Four persons Pat, Quinn, Ryan and Tim can complete a work in 9, 12, 15 and 20 days respectively. One of them
starts the work and it is continued on a rotation basis, with all the four taking turns and only one person working
per day. Any one of the four can start work on the first day. Which of the following is the complete set of people,
who can work on the first day such that the work begins and ends with the same person?
1 Pat, Quinn
2 Quinn, Ryan
3 Pat, Quinn, Ryan
4 Pat, Quinn, Tim
Solution:
Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 3
Let the total work be LCM(9, 12, 15, 20) = 180 units
Then, work done by Pat, Quinn, Ryan and Tim in one day is 20, 15, 12 and 9 units
respectively.
Work done in 4 days = 56 units
Work done in 12 days = 168 units
Remaining work = 12 units
The remaining work can be completed by Pat, Quinn or Ryan on the last working day as each one can
complete more than or equal to 12 units of the work in a day, but the same cannot be said about Tim.
Hence, the correct option is Pat, Quinn and Ryan.

Q.8 [11831809]
A dishonest shopkeeper mixes 250 grams of sand in 1 kilogram of rice. 350 grams of the mixture is spilled
during transportation. He then uses a faulty balance that reads 1 kilogram for 800 gram while selling the
mixture which is listed at the cost price of rice. If rice costs Rs. 70 per kg and sand costs Rs. 20 per kg, what is
his overall profit/loss percentage during the entire transaction?
1 12.5% Profit
2 5% Profit
3 5% Loss
4 No profit, no loss
Solution:
Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 2
Cost of 1250 g of mixture of rice and sand = 70 + (20/4) = Rs.75
Given that 350 g was spilled, only 900 g of mixture remains.
The shopkeeper sells 800 g of mixture at Rs.70.
So the selling price of 900 g of mixture = 70/800 × 900 = Rs.78.75
Hence, profit percentage = (78.75 – 75)/75 × 100 = 5%.

Q.11 [11831809]
In a group of four friends – A, B, C and D, the ratio of the weight of A to the weight of B is 3 : 2. Ratio of the
weight of B to the weight of C is 5 : 6. If the weight of D, which is half the weight of A, is 37.5 kg, find the weight
(in kg) of C.

Solution:
Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 1
Let the weights (in kg) of A, B and C be a, b and c respectively.
As per the question,
a : b = 3 : 2, b : c = 5 : 6
So, a : b : c = 15 : 10 : 12
Weight of A = 2 × 37.5 = 75 kg
Hence, weight of C = 12/15 × 75 = 60 kg.

Solution:
Answer key/Solution
Correct Answer : 42
|m – 3| + |n – 4| = 6
The integral solutions of the given equation are: (0, 1), (0, 7), (1, 8), (2, 9), (4, 9),
(5, 8), (6, 1), (6, 7), (7, 6), (8, 5) and (9, 4).
Hence, the maximum value of m × n = 6 × 7 or 7 × 6 = 42.
