Total=800m 16m per min means for 1m=800/16 =50min to climb 10m per min means for 1m=800/10=80min to climb for paul .....the total time is 2hours==120min.... paul works only 1 min. but it rests 1 min. so now total work with rest 2 min. so then in 80 min it will be rest (80/2)=40 times.but in case of 50 minutes rest numbers will be less.here maximum number of resets are asked.so answer is 40(c) 24. Professional time to complete 1 lap = 4 sec noves time to complete 1 lap = 6 minutes = 360 sec now, 360/4 = 90 times professional complete its lap, where noves completes its lap 1 time so, they meet again at starting point after 6 min,12 min,18 min 25. 20-15=5 5+30=35 now s=35km/hr,d=100km,T=? s=d/t => t=100/38 =20/7 hr 26. From Question. we can see the speed of Tim is always double than speed of Elan. Therefore, Let the Speed of Elan= X, Then speed of Tim= 2X, and assume that both are covering different distance in time ="t" Given: Total distance= 90 Km Therefore, 2Xt+Xt= 90 km ( where xt=distance covered by Elan & 2Xt=distance covered by Tim) Hence, Xt= 30 km,

But xt is distance covered by elan, Hence Distance covered by Tim is 2Xt= 60 km ans: 60 km 27. 1minute=1+4=5 1 minute=1+4=5step 2 minute=5+4=9step 3 minute=9+4=3step 4 minute=3+4=7step 5 minute=7+4=1step the same process is repeated 12*5 times hence at 60th minute fly would be at 1st step 28.

Probability of no defective of x= 91/100=.91 Probability of non-defective of y= 95/100=.95 So, probability of no defective product=.91*.95=0.8645 (C) 32. 3c1*3c1*4c1*4c1*5c1*5c1=3600 for any one of first three option of Q.1 we have three options in Q.2 4 option in Q.3.....this goes on... 33. Assume dat the side of first triangle is a the perimeter is 3a so the altitude is (sqrt(3)*a)/2 it is the radius of the circle now we know radius of circumcircle of an equilateral triangle of a side

=b/sqrt(3) now b/sqrt(3)=(sqrt(3)*a)/2 or 2b=3a b=3a/2 perimeter is 3*(3a/2) so ratio is 3a:(9a/2) finally 2:3 34. 27*48/2*3=216 35. Let Ronits present age be X years. Then, fathers present age = (X + 3X) years = 4X years. (4X + 8) =5/2 (X + 8) 8X + 16 = 5X + 40 3X = 24 X=8 Hence, required ratio = (4X + 16)/(X + 16)= 48/24= 2 36. Firstly two equations from 1st sentence... Suppose Roy=x, Erik=y, Lewis=z So x=y+4.... (1) 2nd is x=z+2... (2) (Roy is now 4 year older than Erik and half of that amount than Lewis so 4/2=2) Also after 2 years Erik and Roy relation will b X+2=2(y+2)... (3) So put this into 1st equation. U will get y=2... And then x=6, z=4(by substituting other) Now asking multiplication after two years of Roy n Lewis is (6+2)*(4+2) =48

37. Ans: 10% son can interchange a pair in 10 combination out of which only one keps the name unchanged. 10 combinations for change are PR

PE PE PT RE RE RT EE ET ET so the probability that despite this interchange, the name remains unchanged = 1/10 = 10%

38. consider 3 girls as A,B,C THEN A+B+C=20, but each one should get atleast 1 pencil so giving 1 pencil to each student, the remaining pencils are 20-3=17 now A'+B'+C''=17, number of non negative integers of A',B',C' are (17+3-1)C(3-1) so total Combinations are 19c2=19*9 = 171

39. A(100)= A(99)+2(99) A(100)= A(98)+ 2(98)+2(99) A(100)= A(97)+2(97)+2(98)+2(99) ||LY A(100)= A(1)+ 2(1+2+3+4+.......97+98+99) NOW; 1+2+3.......+97+98+99= 99(2+98)/2= 4950 (SUM OF AN A.P) A(100)= 0+ 2(4950)= 9900

40. A(100)=we can write A(99+1) as A(n+1) is given so i broke it in n+1 form. then A(99+1)=A(99)+2*99; in this way A(99)=A(98)+2*99*98 in this way.. ..

last will be A(1)+2*99*98*.....1 now put the value 1+2(1+2+......+99) 2+ 2*99(99+1)/2 =9902

41. actually answer is 1... consider the soln... given A(1)=1,A(2)=1. so, A(3)=A(2)-A(1) acc to the given formula A(n)=A(n-1)-A(n-2) A(3)=1-1=0. similarliy,A(4)=A(3)-A(2)=0-1=-1. A(5)=A(4)-A(3)=-1-0=-1. A(6)=A(5)-A(4)=-1-(-1)=0. after 6th term seq is repeating like...1,1,0,-1,-1,0...after every 6 terms so the sum of these 6 terms are 1+1+0+(-1)+(-1)+0=0. now we have to find sum of 1000 terms...now consider in splitted pattern,like sum of first 600 terms is 0...(as consider 1,1,0,-1,-1,0 as one sequence,now consider 166 seq i.e 166*6=996 terms) so the sum of first 996 terms is 0...after that 4 terms come i.e 1,1,0,-1 so the sum of last 4 terms = 1+1+0+(-1)=1.

42. Explanation: Convert the number from base 7 to base 10 Base 7(1234) = base 10(466) Base 7(6543) = base 10(2334) Sum of 466 + 2334 = 2800 Convert to base 7 Base 10 (2800) ===> 11110 43. 3) G nt occure if D not occure a=>b or c b=>d & e f=>c not g =>a & f 1) a occure whenevr f :- depen on c where as 'a' can occure if 'c' not ..so

this is not true 2) f nevr occure => depnd on c only n c is indipendent ...if c not occure f will occure ....so this is also not true 3) g not occure if d not:-g depnd on a & f ...if d not ocuure b will not occure (as b=>d&e) a will occure if c occure...if c occure f will not occure ...hence g will not occure...this is true 44. (c)neither, is the answer. We can't relate heights of 2 & 4 coz relation b/w heights of 4 and 2 isn't given(4 is 'OLDER' than 2, we can't say anything about their height);also no relation is stated b/w ages of 1 & 3, so neither of i and ii is correct.

45. 30L+3Q=11.67 30L+6Q=12.48 -----------3Q=.81 Q= .27 from that L=0.362 cost of 10 kg apple is 10*.362=3.6 46. AB**** =4! = 24 ways AE****=4! =24 ways next word is 49th so AR**** in alphabetical order **** will be BESU Ans is ARBESU 47. milk in A=4/7 water in A=3/7 let x quantity of mixture from A be added to C milk in B=2/5 water in B=3/5 let y quantity of mixture from B be added to C hence,milk added from a + milk from b= 4x/7+2y/5 water added from a + water from b= 3x/7+3y/5 these two shud be equal as ratio in c is same for milk nd water therefore,(4x/7+2y/5)/(3x/7+3y/5)=1 on solving,x/7=y/5 or x:y=7:5 48. (C) 19!*18

bcoz along with mr and mrs smith can be arranged in 19!*2 (2 bcoz of mr and mrs smith arrangement) all together can be arranged in 20! ways so no mr and mrs smith can be arranged in 20!-19!*2 =19!*18 49. Total selections=3!=6 Proper Selections: A B C ACB CBA B A C (ie. total 4) Improper selection: B C A , C A B (ie. total 2) Probability for improper selection= 2/6 = 1/3 50. let the tank be filled in n minutes after opening tap C now total part of tank filled=[(n/42)-(n/30)+(n/35)] now (12/42)-(6/30)+(6/42)+[(n/42)-(n/30)+(n/35)=1 solve for n we get n=40.5 minutes therefore total time= 40.5min + 12min(when A was opened) + 6 min(when B was opened)= 58.5 min 51. A person works only 1 min. but it rests 2 min. so now total work with rest 3 min. so than in 1 hour it will be rest 20 times and in next 1 hour 20+20=40 times it will take. 52. ans is 5 combinations of the 4 boxes like red, yellow red,green red,blue yellow,green green,blue 53. Here we have to consider only the 5,10,15,20.... these terms.. so form (5,10,15,20,30,35,40,45,55 ) we got 1 no of zero from each. Now from 25(5*5) and 50(5*5*2) we got 2 no of zeroes form each.

so upto 55 factorial we get (9+4)= 13 zeroes. so 55! is the smallest value and 59! is the largest value.

54. For N=3 we have - 5,7,8,9,10 so 2 prime For N=4 we have - 6,8,9,10,11 so 1 prime For N=5 we have - 7,9,10,11,12 so 2 prime For N=6 we have - 8,10,11,12,13 so 2 prime & so on.... So max no of Primes are 2
