MOCK-1 ; 10 QUESTIONS [ 2.7.

2016]
1. A person travels on a bicycle from place A to B at a speed of
60km/hr and returns by increasing his speed by 50% .What is
his average speed for both his trips?
(a) 55km/hr.
(b) 72km/hr.
none of these.

(c) 45km/hr.

(d) 83km/hr.

(e)

SOLUTION :
Speed on return trip = 150% of 60.
=150/100*60.
=90km.
Therefore, Average speed = ( 2*60*90)/(60+90).
=(10800/150) km/hr
= 72km/hr

2. What is the aggregate of marks obtained by candidate C?

(a) 628.1
these.

(b) 705

(c) 629.1

(d) 629.1 (e) none of

Ans : 629.1
Therefore,the required aggregate=
(135%of 150)+(126 %of 150)+(114 % of 120)+(64% of
150)+(45 % of 50)=
135+189+95+91.6+96+22.5 = 629.1

3.What will be As total marks if all full marks are converted to

150?
(a) 632
of these.

(b) 774

(c) 851

(d) 615

(e)

none

Ans : 774
The required marks :
=123+140+(96*150/120)+(110*150/120)+(77*150/100)+(46*
150/50)
=123+140+120+137.5+115.5+138
=774.

4.What is the difference of aggregate obtained by the

candidates B and E?
(a) 63

(b) 51

(c)

33 (d) 84

(e) none of these.

Ans: 63

The aggregate of candidate B,

=(101%of150)+(140%of150)+(96%of120)+(110%0f120)+(77
%0f100)+(46%0f150)
=151.51+210+115.2+132+23+77
=709.
The aggregate of candidate E,
(95%0f150)+(125%of150)+(87%of120)+(108%0f120)+(61%of
100)+(42%0f50).
=142.5+187.5+104.4+129.6+61+31
=646
Therefore,the difference of average between candidates A and
B
=(709-646)
=63.

5. What is the difference in the percentage of marks secured by

the candidate B in Physics and Music and by the candidate D in
Geography and English?
(a) 7.55

(b) 4.73 (c) 8.58 (d) 1.87 (e) none of these.

Therefore, candidate Bs percentage in Physics and Maths=

(82+36)*100/(50+120)
= 118*100/170

=69.41%
Candidate Ds percentage in Geography and English =
(100+95)*100/(150+100)
=78%
The required difference = 78 69.41 = 8.59 %

7. Mishti purchased a laptop with an additional 5% discount on

the reduced price after deducting 20% on the labelled price .If
the labelled price was 37,500,at what price did Mishti have
purchased the laptop?
(a) 22,125
of these.

(b)14,714

(c) 28,500

(d)31,500

(e)none

SOLUTION
Cost price= 95%of 80 of Rs37,500
=(95/100*50/100*37,500)
=28,500.

8.A shopkeeper sells a table by providing 10% discount on

the labelled price 2300 and earning a profit of 15%.Find out the
cost price of the table?
(a) (b) (c) (d)

Solution
Sellprice =90%of Rs 2300
=Rs(90/100*2300)=2070.
Profit =15%

Therefore,cost price =Rs(105/115*2070)=1890

=The costprice is 1890.

9.The area of a circle is 330sq.m. Therefore find out the area of

an equilateral triangle in this circle will be?
(a) 251.35
these.

(b) 81.75

(c) 104

(d) 181.65

(e) none of

SOLUTION
2= 380
=2=(330*7/22)=105
Now, R=1/2*(Diagonal)=Diagonal=2R

3 4 R 2

=Area of the equilateral triangle= 4 *(side)= 4

3105=1.732105=181.65 .

10.Find out the area diminished if the radius of a circle is

increased by 8%?
(a)17

(b) 15.16

(c) 16.64

(c) 2

(d) none of these.

SOLUTION
Let the original radius be R cm.
New radius= (108/100)R cm= (54/54)Rcm= (54/50*R)-R2
=R2=r2[(54/50)2-!]
=R2[(54)2-(50)2]/2500
=r2*416/2500*1/r2*100 = 16.64%
