Answers
(1) 69%

Step 1
If you read the question caref ully, you will notice that
marks obtained by Natalia = 120 marks
percentage obtained by Natalia = 60%
Lets assume x is the total number of marks in an exam.
Obtained marks
Since you know that Percentage = × 100
T otal marks
120
T heref ore 60 = × 100
x
120
⇒x= × 100
60
⇒ x = 200
Step 2
Marks obtained by Brittany = 138 marks,
138
Percentage obtained by Brittany = × 100
200
= 69%
Step 3
Now the percentage obtained by Brittany in this exam is 69%.

(2) 4

Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that 55 is the sum of 3x, 5x, 3, 5x.
Step 2
Mathematically we can say that
3x + 5x + 3 + 5x = 55
⇒ 13x + 3 = 55
⇒ 13x = 55 - 3
52
⇒x=
13
⇒x=4
Step 3
Now the value of x is 4.

(3) 45 kg

Step 1
Let’s assume the weight of the solution to be x kg.
Step 2
According to the question, salt contained by the solution = 5% of the x
= x × 5/100
= 0.05x ----(1)
T heref ore, water contained by the solution = x - 0.05x = 0.95x
Step 3
Since, 30 kg water evaporate f rom the solution.
T heref ore remaining water = 0.95x - 30
Since salt = 0.05x
New solution = 0.95x - 30 + 0.05x
Step 4
Now, salt contained by the solution = (0.95x - 30 + 0.05x) × 15/100 ----(2)
Step 5
Since only water evaporates and amount of salt should remain same, let us equate the
amount of salt bef ore and af ter evaporation.
0.05x = (0.95x - 30 + 0.05x) × 15/100
⇒ 0.05x × 100 = 15 (0.95x - 30 + 0.05x)
⇒ 5x = 15 (x - 30)
⇒ 5x = 15x - 450
⇒ 10x = 450
⇒ x = 45
Step 6
Hence, the original quantity of solution = x = 45 kg

(4) 111°

Step 1

Draw a line MN which is parallel to line PQ and line AB

and angle Z = angle Z 1 + angle Z 2
Step 2
Angle Z 1 and angle Q are alternate angles.
T heref ore angle Z 1 = angle Q
⇒ angle Z 1 = 57°
Step 3
Similarly angle Z 2 and angle B are alternate angles.
T heref ore angle Z 2 = angle B
⇒ angle Z 2 = 54°
Step 4
Now angle Z = angle Z 1 + angle Z 2
= 57° + 54°
= 111°

Step 1
Rules of the exponent:
Rule 1: When you multiply two numbers with the same base, you add the exponents.
Rule 2: When you divide two numbers with the same base, you subtract the exponents.
Rule 3: When you have an exponent expression that is raised to a power, you can multiply
the exponent and power.

(7) c. 8

Step 1

If you notice 1st and 2nd picture, it can be seen that number in center is dif f erence of
numbers at top and bottom
34 - 28 = 6 and 16 - 10 = 6
Step 2

T href ore 3rd picture should also f ollow this pattern,

⇒ 23 - 15 = 8

(8) d. Adela

Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that Natalia is younger than Adela and
Adela is older than John.
T heref ore Adela is oldest than Natalia and John.
Step 2
John is as old as Katrina, Katrina is older than Natalia and Adela is older than Katrina.
T heref ore Adela is also oldest than John and Katrina.
Step 3
Now you can say that Adela is oldest than Natalia, John, Katrina and hence Adela is oldest.

Apples and guavas are two separate f ruits. If you look at the diagrams caref ully you will
notice that f ruits are denoted by the greatest circle. Since apples and guavas are two
separate f ruits, theref ore apples and guavas are denoted by two separate circles inside the
greatest circle and hence the correct diagram which shows relationship between f ruits,
apples and guavas is

(10) c. 360 °

Step 1
If you look at the given f igure caref ully, you will notice that it is a combination of triangle
PRT and triangle QSU.
Step 2
Since the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180°.
T heref ore ∠P + ∠R + ∠T = 180°,
∠Q + ∠S + ∠U = 180°
Step 3
Now the sum of the angles ∠P + ∠Q + ∠R + ∠S + ∠T + ∠U = 180° + 180° = 360°

(12) a. 1479

Step 1
According to question a coding scheme SWEQ is coded as 0123, and PUYILG is coded as
456789.
Step 2
If you look at the coding scheme caref ully, you will notice that the letters W , P , I , G are
coded as 1479.
Step 3
Now we can say that the encoding f or word WPIG is 1479.
