Question 1
A 270 meters long train running at the speed of 120 kmph crosses another train running in opposite direction at the speed of 80
kmph in 9 seconds. What is the length of the other train ?
A 240 meters
B 320 meters
C 260 meters
D 230 meters
Answer: D
Explanation:
Relative speed = (120 + 80) kmph (or) 200 kmph, Relative time = 9 seconds, Relative distance = (270 + x) meters
We know that,
270 + x = 100 x 5

Raviraj et after three years ?
A Rs.13,210
B Rs.13,310
C Rs.12,100
D Rs.11,000
Answer: B
Explanation:
Principal sum = Rs. 10,000
A 54
B 108
C 162
D 324
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let the number be x
According to ques,
=> x = (18)2 × 9
=> x = 18 × 3 = 54
Question 4
The average salary of a group of 27 is Rs. 3,700. If the salary of one more person is added, the average is increased to Rs.3750. What
is the salary of the new person ?
A Rs.5010
B Rs.5200
C Rs.5100
D Rs.5000
Answer: C
Explanation:
Average salary of 27 people = Rs. 3700
According to ques,
99,900+x
=> 28 = 3750
=> 99, 900 + x = 3750 × 28
What should come in place of both the question marks (?) in the following equation.
16 ?
? = 42.25
A 2.6
B 260
C .26
D 26
Answer: D
Explanation:
16 x
x = 42.25
16×4225
==> x2 = 100
4×65
==> x = 10
∴ x = 26
Question 6
An amount of money is to be distributed among P, Q and R in the ratio of 5:9:17 respectively. If the total of the shares of P and Q is
Rs.7,000. What is R’s share in it
A Rs.4,500
B Rs.2,500
C Rs.8,500
D Rs.6,000
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let the amount distributed among P, Q and R be 5x, 9x and 17x respectively
⇒ 5x + 9x = 7,000
⇒ 14x = 7,000 (or) x = 500
∴ R's share = 17(500) = 8,500
Hence, option C is the correct answer.
Question 7
A 140
B 116
C 128
D 112
Answer: D
According to ques,
1 3
=> 4 × 5 × (x) = 42
20
=> x = 42 × 3
=> x = 280
40
∴ 40% of the number = 100 × 280 = 112
=> Ans - (D)
A 1.8
B 0.018
C 0.18
D 18
Answer: B
Explanation:
To find : 10% of 24.2 − 10% of 24.02
10 10
=> ( 100 × 24.2) − ( 100 × 24.02)
Question 9
Ramesh bought a calculator with 20% discount on the tag price. He obtained 10% profit by selling it for Rs.440. What was the tag
price ?
A Rs.500
B Rs.400
C Rs.480
D Rs.360
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let tag price = Rs. 100x
Discount % = 20%
20
=> Calculator's selling price = Cost price for Ramesh = 100x − ( 100 × 100x)
Question 10
The sum of two numbers is 22 and their difference is 14. Find the product of numbers.
A 72
B 82
C 62
D 27
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let, the two numbers be x and y
2x = 36 (or) x = 18
2y = 8 (or) y = 4
A 2 2
B 6 2
C 4 2
D 5 2
Answer: B
Explanation:
1
Given : m = 9 and n = 3 m
1
=> n = 3 × 9 = 3
= (9)2 − (3)2
= 81 − 9 = 72 = 6 2
Question 12
The ratio between the ages of x and y at present is 3:4. Five years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 4:5; what is the present age of
y in years ?
A 15
B 20
C 25
D 30
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let the present ages of x and y be 3a,4a respectively
==> a=5
Question 13
A 6
B 2
C 4
D 0
Answer: A
A 25
B 25 3
C 25 2
D 20
Answer: C
11
==> 5 x2 = 2750
2750×5
==> x2 = 11
==> x2 = 1250
==> x = 25 2
Question 15
75×75−26×26
101 =?
A 59
B 39
C 29
D 49
Answer: D
Explanation:
75×75−26×26 75 2 −26 2
101 = 101
(75+26)(75−26)
==> 101 ( ∵ a 2 − b2 = (a + b)(a − b))
101×49
= 101 = 49
Question 16
∠ABC is an isosceles triangle and AB =AC = 2a unit BC = a unit, Draw AD ⊥ BC , and find the length of AD
A 15 a unit
15
B 2 a unit
C 17 a unit
17
D 2 a unit
Answer: B
Explanation:
Given that AB=BC=2a units and BC=a units
All sides of a quadrilateral ABCD touch a circle. If AB = 6 cm. BC = 7.5 cm. CD = 3 cm, then DA is
A 3.5 cm
B 4.5 cm
C 2.5 cm
D 1.5 cm
Answer: D
Explanation:
To find : DA = ?
Solution : Tangents from the same point to a circle are equal in length.
=> AE = AH , BE = BF , CG = CF and DG = DH
=> AB + CD = BC + DA
=> 6 + 3 = 7.5 + DA
Question 18
In a right angled triangle, the product of two sides is equal to half of the square of the third side i.e., hypotenuse. One of the acute
angles must be
A 60∘
B 30∘
C 45∘
D 15∘
Answer: C
We know that c2 =a 2 + b2
2ab= a 2 + b2
⇒ a 2 − 2ab + b2 = 0
⇒ (a − b)2 = 0
⇒a=b
In a triangle, if two sides are equal then the opposite angles must be equal
Here ∠A=∠C
90∘ + 2∠A=180∘
∴ ∠A=∠C =45∘
Question 19
If two concentric circles are of radii 5 cm and 3 cm, then the length of the chord of the larger circle which touches the smaller circle
is
A 6 cm
B 7 cm
C 10 cm
D 8 cm
Answer: D
Explanation:
Given : C1 and C2 be the two concentric circles having radius r1 = 3 cm and r2 = 5 cm respectively.
To find : AB = ?
Also, the perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects the chord.
Thus, in △ OPB,
=> (P B)2 = 25 − 9 = 16
=> P B = 16 = 4 cm
Inside a square ABCD, △BEC is an equilateral triangle. If CE and BD interesect at O, then ∠BOC is equal to
A 60∘
B 75∘
C 90∘
D 120∘
Answer: B
Explanation:
In square ABCD, △ BEC is an equilateral triangle
⇒ ∠ OCB = 60∘
90 ∘
∠ DBC = 2 = 45∘ (∵ BD is diagonal of ABCD)
In △ OBC,
A point D is taken from the side BC of a right angled triangle ABC, where AB is hypotenuse. Then,
C AB2 + AC 2 = 2AD2
Explanation:
△ ABC is a right angled triangle right angled at C
⇒ AB2 = AC 2 + BC 2 ( From Pythagoras theorem )
⇒ AC 2 = AB2 − BC 2
From △ACD, AD2 = AC 2 + CD2
Let C be a point on a straight line AB. Circles are drawn with diameters AC and AB. Let P be any point on the circumference of the
circle with diameter AB. If AP meets the other circle at Q, then
A QC // PB
B QC is never parallel to PB
1
C QC = 2 PB
1
D QC // PB and QC = 2 PB
Answer: A
Explanation:
In △ AQC,
∠ QAC = ∠P AB
∠ AQC = ∠AP B
∴ △AP B = △AQC
∴ QC // PB
1
Since we cannot prove that C is exactly midpoint of AB, QC = 2 PB cannot be proved
An isosceles triangle ABC is right angled at B.D is a point inside the triangle ABC. P and Q are the feet of the perpendiculars drawn
from D on the sides AB and Ac respectively of △ABC. If AP = a cm, AQ = b cm and ∠BAD= 15 ∘ , sin 75∘ =
2b
A 3a
a
B 2b
3a
C 2b
2a
D 3b
Answer: C
Explanation:
△ ABC is a right angled isosceles triangle right angled at B
Here ∠A = ∠C
3a
∴ sin 75∘ = 2b

= 8 (2 × 8 − 4) × 90∘
12×90 ∘
= 8 =135∘
180∘ =∏

135∘ = 180 × 135∘ = 4
A 5
B 3
C 6
D 7
Answer: C
Explanation:
Let X= 30 + 30 + ...
Above equation can be written as
X=⇒ 30 + X
Squaring on both sides
X 2 =30+X
X 2 -X-30=0
X 2 -6X+5X-30=0
X(X-6)+5(X-6)=0
(X-6)(X+5)=0
X=-5,6
X=6
