 SOLUTION…

• Add up all the digits, we find 34, thus in

order to make it 36 (which is divisible by 9,
we need a number 2), thus correct option
is 3.

• Ascending means from small to big
• If we ignore the negative sign, the biggest
number is 7/10, followed by 2/3 and 5/8.
thus this will be the final answer in
ascending order. Thus the sequence is :
• -7/10, -2/3 and -5/8 answer.

 A ‘car owner buys petrol at Rs. 7.50, Rs. 8 and
Rs. 8.50 per litre for three successive years
What approximately is the average cost per
litre of petrol if he spends Rs 4,000 each year?

• Let us take LCM of 7.5, 8, 8.5 we get : 510

• Let us assume that we have used Rs. 510 each
year. Thus in the first year, we have used 8.5*8
liters and in the last year, we have used 7.5 *8
liters and in the second year we have used
7.5*8.5 liters. Thus the average cost per liter is :
(3 *510)/191.75 = 7.97 answer.

 Sunil’s age after six years will be three
seventh of his father’s age Ten years ago
the ratio of their ages was 1: 5. What is
Sunil’s father’s age at present ?

• (1) 40 years
• •(2) 45years
• (3) 50 years
• (4) 55 years

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 11

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• Let us assume Sunil’s age 10 year ago = x

• Father’s age 10 year ago = 5x
• After six years : (X+16) / (5x+16) = 3/7
• 7x + 112 = 15x + 48
• -8x = - 64
• X=8
• Present age of his father : 10 + (8*5) =50
• Answer : 50 years.

 A man buys eggs at 2 for Re. 1, and an equal
number at 3 for Rs. 2 and sells the whole at 5
for Rs 3 His gain or loss percent is

• Let us assume that he purchased 30 eggs

at each price :
On first : his cost is : 15
On second his cost : Rs. 20
His total cost : 35
He will sell them at : 36.
His gain is Rs. 1 on investment of Rs. 35
Gain is : 1/35 *100 = 2.85% answer.

 In an examination, 35% of the total students
failed in Hindi, 45% failed in English and 20% in

 The ratio of the income of A and B is
5 : 4 and the ratio of their expenditure
is 3 : 2. If at the end of the year each
saves Rs. 1,600 then the income of A is

• (1) Rs. 3,400

• (2) Rs. 3,600
• (3) Rs. 4,000
• (4) Rs 4,400

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 17

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution..

• 5x – 3y = 1600
• 4x – 2y = 1600
(multiply the first by 4 and second by 5)
20x – 12y = 6400
20x -10y = 8000
We get -2Y = - 1600 or Y = 800
X = 800. Thus income of A is 4000. answer.

A and B invest in a business in the ratio 3 : 2. If
5% of the total profit goes to charity and A’s
share is Rs. 855, the total profit is

• (1) Rs. 1,425

• (2) Rs. 1,500
• (3) Rs. ‘1,537
• (4) Rs. 1,576

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 19

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• Total profit of A and B

• 855 * (3+2) / 3 = 1425 this is 95% of total
income.
• Thus total income is 1425*100/95
• =1500 answer.

Four years ago the father’s age was three times
the age of his son. The total of the ages of the
father and the son after four years will be 64
years. What is the father’s age at
present?

• (1) 32 years
• (2) 36 years
• (3) 44 years
• (4) None of the above

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 21

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• Age of son 4 years ago = x

• Age of father 4 years ago = 3x
• (x+8) + (3x+8) = 64
• 4x + 16 = 64
• X = 48/4 = 12
• Thus the age of father at present is
4+(12*3)
• = 40 years. Answer.

A does half as much work as B in three-fourths
of the time. If together they take 18 days to
complete the work, how much time shall B take
to do it ?

• (1) 30 days
• (2) 35 days
• (3) 40 days
• (4) 45 days

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 25

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• Let us assume B takes X days.

• A takes .75X to complete .5 work or 1.5X days to
complete the entire work.
• 1/X + 1/1.5X = 1/18
• (2.5 / 1.5x) = 1/18
• 1.5x = 45
• X = 30
• Thus B will take 30 days to complete the work.

 Two pipes A and B can fill a tank in 6 hours
and 4 hours respectively. If they are opened on
alternate hours and if pipe A is opened first, in
how many hours shall the tank be full?

• (1) 4 hours (2) 4 hours

• (3) 4.5 hours
• (4) 5.5 hours

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 27

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• 1/6 + ¼ = (10/24) or 2.4 hours.

• Thus it will be approx. 4 + hours.
• First 4 hours will be filled by A and B each,
which will give 2/6 + 2/4 = 20/24
• Now A will fill the remaining 4/24, which
will take A exact one hour.
• Thus it will take 5 hours complete to fill the
tank. Answer.

 If a train runs at 40 kmph, it reaches its
destination 11 minutes late, but if it runs at
50 kmph it is late by 5 minutes only. The
correct time for the train to complete the
journey is

• (1) 13 minutes (2) 15 minutes

• (3) 19 minutes (4) 21 minutes

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 29

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• Let us assume the distance = X

• X/40 – X/50 = 6/60
• 10x / 2000 = 1/10
• 100x = 2000 or X = 20
• 20/40 gives 1/2 hours or 30 minutes,
which is 11 minutes late, so correct time is
: 30 -11 = 19 minutes answer.

 The length of a train and that of a platform are
equal. If, with a speed of 90 kmlhr, the train
crosses the platform in one minute, then the
length of the train (in metres) is

• (1) 500
• (2) 600
• (3) 750
• (4) 900

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 31

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• In one minute the distance covered by the

train is :
• 90 * 1/60 = 1.5 KM.
• This is length of train + length of platform.
• (both are equal).
• Thus the length of platform / length of train
is 750 meters. Answer.

 A vessel is filled with liquid, 3 parts of
which are water and 5 parts syrup. How
much of the mixture must be drawn off
and replaced with water so that mixture
may be half water and half syrup ?

(1).5
• (2).3
• (3)1/7
• (4) .2

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 33

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
 Solution…

• Let us assume that • Solution: 8/5 * 1 = 1.6

total mixture is 8
liters. Now we have to
have 4 liters of water
and syrup each.
• Thus 1 liter of syrup
has to be taken out.
In order to draw 1 liter
syrup, we have to use
this formula :
• Thus we will draw out
1.6 liters of mixture
and add this much of
water and then both
the quantities will be
equal.
• 1.6/8 or .2 is the right
answer so answer is
(4) option.

• (4) Rs. 42.15

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL 35

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS

• We want additional interest of .5, which is

1/9 of the existing interest, so divide
interest amount of Rs. 202.5 by 9, we get
22.5 of additional interest.
