late, you better go to the rich merchant Deen Dayal, who' gives loans to promising

142.(4) Let the length of the train = x metres
According to the question. Speed of the train
x +90/30 = x/15
~ x + 90 = 2x ==== x = 90 m

Compound interest
= Principal [(1 + Rate/100)Time -1]
= x {( 1 + 10/100)2 – 1 }
x [(1.1)2 - 11
= x (1.21 - 1)'= Rs. 0.21x
X x2xl0/100 = .x /5
= Rs. 0.2x

:. 36 - x = 32
~ x = 36 - 32 = 4 kmph
Speed of motor boat downstream = 36 + 4 = 40 kmph
:. Time taken to cover 56 km at 40

Each interior angle of the given polygon = 9/8 x 120º = 135º
16. (1) Let the required time = t years, interest is compounded half
yearly
17. (1) Simple interest for 2 years Rs. (568 – 520) = Rs. 48
Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3 . Now 1/3 part of work is done by A in 20 days.
19. (2)Let the third pipe can empty the cistern in x minutes.
Part of cistern filled in 1 minute when all three pipes are opened
=== 1/x = 1/60 + 1/75 – 1/50 == 5+4 – 6 / 300 = == x = 300/3 = 100 minutes.
20.(3) Volume of cone = 1/3 πr2h ======= 1232 = 1/3 x 22/7 x r2 x 24
21. (1) From the table it is clear that age upto 15 years accounts for maximum
population as its share is 30 % but out of the given options , the age group ( 16 –
25 ) years accounts for maximum population. Hence equation (1) is true.
22. (1) Below 26 years, the percent of population is (30+17.75) = 47.75.
. The required answer = 47.75% of 4200
47.75 x 4200
100
= 2005.5 = 2006
23. (2) Below 36 years, the percent of population is
(30 + 17.75 + 17.25) =65
:. The required number of people = 200 x 5.12 / 65 = 15.75 millions.
24. (2) Per cent of population in the age group 56 yerars and above
= 5.12 + 1.13 = 6.25
Now. 6.25% of population
= 10 millions
:. Total Population
Difference in per cent of people in the age groups ('16 - 25) and (46 - 55)
= 17.75 - 14.25 = 3.5 .. The required difference = 3.5% of 160 millions
3.5 x 160 /100 = 5.6 millions
Required ratio = 12/5 = 12 : 5
27.(4) In centre is the centre of the circle, so it always lies inside the triangle
27.
29. (2) cos2 45º =x2 +sin230º = 3/2 === ½ +x2 + ¼ = 3/2
== x2 + ¾ = 3/2 ==== x2 = 3/2 – ¾ = ¾ === x = √3/2 = sin 60º
30. (2) Let QR be the tower PQ = 200 m and θ = 30º
= 5.6 millions
25. (2) Difference in per cent of people in the age groups (46 - 55) and (26 - 35)
= 17.25 - 14.25 = 3
:. 3% of total Population = 11.75 million

33.(4) The decimal equivalents of : 6/7=0.857, 5/6 = 0.833, 7/8 = 0.875, 4/5 = 0.8
Obviously, 0.875 is the greatest, 7/8 is the largest fraction.
34. (4) The given expression 11/4 / 11/6÷7/8 (4+3)/12 + 5/7 +3/4 of 3/7
=== (11/4 x 6/11) ÷7/8 x 7/12 +5/7 ÷ (3/4 x 3/7)
==== 3/2 ÷ 7/8 x 7/12 + 5/7 ÷ 9/28 === 3/2 x 8/7 x 7/12 + 5/7 x 28/9
===== 1 + 20/9 = 9 + 20 / 9 = 29/9 = 3 2/9
35. (3) let the mother’s age = x years.
Father’s age = ( x + 8) years
Sum of ages of 6 sons = 8 x 6 = 48 years.
Sum of ages of 6 sons and parents = 22 x 8 = 176 years.
Age of parents = 176 – 48 = 128 years. ==== x + x +8 = 128
2x = 120 ======== x = 120/2 = 60 years.
36. (2) if the S.P. of each of two items sold be the same, on one of them there
is x% loss and on other there is a gain of x% then there is always a loss given by
the rule.
X% of x or x2/100 % === Loss% = (10)2/100 = 1%
37.(3) Equivalent discount of successive discounts of 20% and 105
= (20 +10 – 20 x 10 / 100)% = 28%
Selling price = (100 – 28)% of rs 500.=== 72% of Rs.500
== Rs. 500 x 72/100 = Rs.360.
38.(3) let A’s income = Rs.a and b’s income = Rs.b
A x 60% = b x 75% == a x 4 = 5 x b === b/a = 4/5
Now, b = a x x% === b/a = x/100 ==== x/100 = 4/5 === x = 4/5 x 100 = 80
39. (1) Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 (side)2 == √3/4 x (side)2 = 400√3
== (side)2 = 400√3 x 4 / √3 == side = √4 x 400 = 40 metres.
Perimeter = 3 x side === 3 x 40 = 120 metres.
40.(3) Walls are 5 cm thick,
Internal length = (330 – 2 x 5 ) cm == 320 cm
Breadth = (260 – 10)cm = 250 cm
Height = (110 – x ) cm Here, the cistern is assumed to be open and x is
thickness of bottom 320 x 250 x (110 – x) = 8000 liters
320 x 250 x (110 – x) == 8000 x 1000 cm3
=== 9110 – x ) = 8000000 / 320 x 250 = = 110 – x = 100
=== x = 10 cm = 1 dm.
41.(1)required time = LCM of 252, 308 and 198 seconds.
Now, 252 = 2 x 2 x 3 x3 x 7 , 308 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 11
198 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 === LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11
== 36 x 77 = 36 x 77/ 60 = 231/ 5 = 46 minutes 12 seconds.
42.(1) let the cost price = Rs. x, Marked price = x + 20% of x
= x = x/5 = Rs. 6x /5,=== Selling price = Rs. (6x/5 – 5% of 6x/5)
= Rs. 6x/5 (1 – 1/20) == Rs. 6x/5 x 19/20 = Rs. 57x/50
= profit = 57x/50 – x = Rs.7x/50, Profit % = 7x/50/x x 100 = 14%
43.(3) Work done by 8 men in 6 days = 6/12 = ½
Remaining work = 1 – ½ = ½, 4 more men are engaged.
Total number of men = 8 + 4 = 12
By work and time formula = W1 / M1D1 = W2/M2D2, we have
= 1/8x12 = ½ /12xD2 = = D2 = ½ x 8x12/12 = 4 days.
44.(2) a : b = 2/9 : 1/3 = 2 : 3
b : c = 2/7 : 5/14 = 4 : 5
d : c = 7/10 : 3/5 = 7 : 6 ========= c : d = 6 : 7
Thus, a : b = 2 : 3, b : c = 4 : 5, c : d = 6 : 7
a:b:c:d =2x4x6 :3x4x6:3x5x6:3x5x7
=== 16 : 24 : 30 : 35
45.(1) Weight of copper in 17 kg 500 g i.e., 17500 gm of alloy
5/7 x 17500 = 12500 gm Weight of Zinc = (17500 – 12500) = 5000 gm
1250 gm of zinc is mixed in alloy.
Total weight of zinc = 1250 + 5000 = 6250 gm
Required ratio = 12500 : 62500 = 2 : 1
46.(40 Let the sum be Rs. x
= x x 5 x 15 / 100 x 12 = x x 4 x 8 / 100 x 12 = 129
=== x / 100 x 12 (75 – 32) = 129 ====== x = 129 x 1200 / 43 = Rs.3600
47.(4) Difference of percentages of maximum marks obtained by two candidates
= 32 % -- 20% = 12% Difference of scores between two candidates =
= 32 + 42 = 72, 12% of maximum marks = 72
= maximum marks = 72 x 100/12 = 600
= pass marks = 20% of 600 = 30 = 120 + 30 = 150
Required percentage = 150/600 x 100 = 25%
48.(4) Water content in 40 liters of mixture = 40 x 10/100 = 4 liters
Milk content = 40 – 4 = 36 liters
Let x liters of water is mixed == 4 + x / 40 + x = 20 / 100
= 4 + x / 40 + x = 1/5 == 20 + 5x = 40 + x === 4x = 20
= x = 20/4 = 5 , x = 5 liters.
49.(1) (a + b + c )2 – (a – b – c)2 = ( a + b + c + a – b – c ( a +b + c – a + b + c )
= 2a ( 2b + 2c) = 4a (b + c )
50.(2) The given expression
== 999 995/999x 999 = (999 + 995/999) 999
=== 999 x 999 + 995/999 x 999
=== (1000 – 1 ) 999 + 995 == 999000 – 999 + 995
=== 999000 – 4 = 998996.

questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate option.
I. Max Weber laid the foundation for may belief that decent and hard-working
people with high aspirations make great nations, no matter what the odds are.
This was the first piece of the development puzzle for me. Mahatma Gandhi
opened my eyes to the importance of good leadership in raising the
aspirations of people, making them accept sacrifices to achieve a grand vi-
sion. and most importantly, in converting that vision into reality. He
unleashed the most
powerful instrument for gaining trust-leadership by example. He ate, dressed.
travelled and lived like the poor. Walking the talk was extremely important to the
Mahatma who understood the pulse of our people like no other Indian leader. The
biggest lesson for me from Gandhi's book and life is the importance of leading by
example. I realised fairly early that this was the second piece of the development
puzzle.
2. Frantz Fanon's book on the colonizer mindset of elites in a post-colonial society
opened my eyes to the role of the bureaucracy and the elite in decelerating the
progress of the poor and the disenfranchised. The colonial mindset of the 'dark
elite in white masks' in a post-colonial society-the mindset that the ruled and the
rulers have different sets of right and responsibilities with a huge asymmetry in
favour of the rulers-was indeed the third piece of the development puzzle. I see
this attitude of the Indian elite every day in how they said their children to English
medium schools while forcing the children of the poor into vernacular schools.
extol the virtues of poverty while living in . luxury, and glorify the rural life while
they sit comfortably in cities.

On A Tired Housewife
Here lies a poor woman who was always tired,
She lived in a house where help wasn't hired:
Her last words on earth were: 'Dear Friends',
I am going
To where there's no cooking, or washing, or sewing,
For everything there is exact to my wishes,
For where they don't eat there's no washing
of dishes.
I'I1 be where loud anthems will always be ringing,
But having no voice I'l1 be quit of the singing.
Don’t mourn for me now, don't mourn for me never,
1 am going to do nothing for ever and ever.' .
