Simplification, Approximation and
1 Number Series
BEST APPROACH TO SOLVE THE QUESTIONS
Simplification: Simplification simply means simplifying the complex

expressions. There are ways available always which are simpler, easier and
faster to calculate a particular complex expression. Questions related to
simplification can be solved in variety of ways. But in examination where
one needs to calculate as fast as possible, applying good simplification
techniques may serve a good purpose. The most interesting about numbers
is that they can be expressed in an innumerable number of ways and thus
comes the concept of breaking the expression in such a way that one
reaches the answer in less time.
Following are some examples citing the ways to simplifying an

equation or expression.
9 11 17 12 16
1. + + =? + + + 27× 33
2 3 6 5 10
27+22+17 24+16
⇒ =? + + (30-3)(30+3)
6 10
66
⇒ =? +4 + 900 − 9
6
⇒ ?=11+9-900-4= –884
2. ? × 65 ÷ 72 = 195 × 312 + 260 × 6

?×65
⇒ =65× 6(3× 52 + 4 × 1)
72
⇒ ? = 72× 6 × 160 = 432 × 160 = 69120

Approximation Questions based on approximation are usually easy to

solve but turn out to be a bit difficult when approximate values are not
clearly visible. In case where a value like 17.97 is given, it is easy to replace
120 101
it with 18. But cases where values like or are given, then
13 11
approximate values can be used by making appropriate adjustments to
other terms of the expression.
Let’s, for example, try to find out the approximate value of expression given
below:
66 50
+ + 41% of 97 =?
16 17
66 50
The value of is a bit more than 4 and that of is a bit less than 3. So we
16 17
66 50
may take value of and to be equal to 4 and 3 respectively.
16 17
We know 40% of 100 is equal to 40. As 41 near to and greater than 40 and
97 is near to and smaller than 100, we may take the approximate value of
41% 𝑜𝑓 97 to be equal to 40 itself.
This way, the approximate value of the above expression= 4+3+40=47
A few sample problems:
178 217
− + 33 × 41 =? −32% 𝑜𝑓 207
12 18
⇒ 15 + 12 + 33(40+1) = ? – 33% of 200
⇒ 27 + 1355 = ? – 66 ⇒ ? = 1450
19.95 68.12
+ − 12.5% 𝑜𝑓 127.9 =?
4 17
20 68 1
⇒ + − × 128 =?
4 17 8
⇒ 5 + 4 − 16 =? ⇒ ? = −7

Number Series When different numbers are arranged in any mathematical

and logical pattern, a number series is said to be formed. There may be
infinite such patterns. So it’s really difficult to find out one out of them. But
there is one element that gives us the idea of any pattern.
That element is the difference of the terms of a number series. By finding

the difference of consecutive terms of a series we can make out the pattern
on which the number series is based. Some patterns are clearly visible but
others can be found out by cracking the pattern of the differences.

Ratio Proportion and Mixture
2 & Alligation
Alligation is a method used to solve problems concerned with weightage

average. Or, in other words, alligation is just a way of writing equations of
weightage average for the easy calculation. Problems involving mixtures or
any form of weightage average can be solved easily using the method of
alligation.
Questions related to replacement, addition or omission of components of

mixture may be easily solved using fractions. Be it in form of ratio or by
taking volume into consideration. A very useful formula for problems based
on mixtures is given below:
Final ratio= Initial ratio (fraction of component remained)
Final volume= initial volume (fraction of component remained)
A few sample problems explaining the concept of alligation are given below.
Example 1: ‘An alloy containing 50% gold is formed by melting two metals
2
A and B. Metal A contains 66 % gold while metal B contains 40% gold. Find
3
the ratio in which metal A and B are mixed to form the alloy.’
Solution: Let’s take the fractional equivalents of given percentages and

calculate using alligation.

Hence, required ratio is 3:5.
Example 2: ‘Average weight of boys in a class is 55kg while average age of

girls in the same class is 35. If the average of all the students in the class is
40 kg, find the ratio of boys and girls in the class.’
Solutions:
Required ratio is 1:3.
Example 3: ‘A can contains mixture of two liquids A and B in the ratio 7 : 5.

When 9 litres of mixture are drawn off and the can is filled with B, the ratio
of A and B becomes 7 : 9. How many litres of liquid A was contained by the
can initially?’
Solution: Since B is filled by replacing some amount of mixture, we should

take A into consideration
Initial ratio of A to the whole mixture = 7/12
7
Final ratio of A to the whole mixture =
16
7 7 12 3
Using formula, = ×𝑦 Or, 𝑦 = =
16 12 16 4

3 1th
This shows the mixture remained th of itself which means part was
4 4
drawn off.

ATQ, of total = 9
4
Or, total mixture = 9 × 4 = 36 litres

Profit share of an individual is directly proportional to investment and time.
Hence, any profit share of a person out of total profit is decided by the net
effect of these two components.
If ratio of investment by two persons is X:Y and ratio of time for which they
invested is A:B respectively, then their profit share is in the ratio of 𝑋 × 𝐴 ∶
𝑌 × 𝐵= XA : YB
Example 1: A, B and C entered into a business by investing their intial sum

of Rs. 12600, Rs. 14400 and Rs. 13200 respectively. After 6 months C left
the partnership and B also left the partnership after 8 months. If after a year
total profit was Rs. 69600, then find profit share of C.’
Solution. Here, instead of taking absolute values of money invested, we may

use their simplest values i.e. ratio.
Ratio of investment of A, B and C is 21:24:22 respectively. And ratio of time
for which they invested is 12: 8 : 6 = 6 : 4 : 3
Ratio of their profit share = (21× 6): (24 × 4): (22 × 3)= 21:16:11
11
Now, profit share of C= × 69600 = 15950.

Example: ‘Aman started a business investing Rs. 70,000. Rakhi Joined him
after six months with an amount of Rs. 1,05,000 and Sagar Joined them with
Rs. 1.4 lakhs after another six months. The amount of profit earned should
be distributed in what ratio among Aman, Rakhi and Sagar respectively, 3
years after Aman started the business?’
Solution. Ratio of profit share is given by the ratio of (investment×time)

Or ratio of their investment is 70000 : 105000 : 140000 = 2 : 3 : 4
Ratio of the time for which they invested = 36 : 30 : 24 = 6 : 5 : 4.
Hence, ratio of profit share among them = (2× 6): (3 × 5) ∶ (4 × 4)
= 12:15:16

Chapter
4 Average and Ages
INTRODUCTION:
We all know that definition of average is sum of magnitude (weight, age,
marks or any measurable quantity) of all quantities divided by total number
of all quantities. Always remember, if you are calculating average you
are making all the quantities equal.
For eg. three brothers have number of candies with them is 9, 11 and 16.
But their mom took all the candies and distribute 12 to each. Average in
some questions referred as ‘Arithmetic mean’.
Questions from this topic are extremally easy and doesn’t require as much
time or sharp concept, mostly questions are asked in the form of average of
ages.
Example: Marks obtained by seven students are 70, 85, 95, 86, 74, 83 and
67. What is average marks obtained by them.
Solution: Sum of magnitude of all the observations is 70 + 85 + 95 + 86 +

74 + 83 + 67 = 560.
560
Required average = = 80.
7
NOTE: Please avoid short cut tricks mentioned in many books for such
small calculations. Those tricks are more time consumable. There is other
very simple and only trick that you must apply. Look at next question.
Example: Average age of 4 members of a family is 28 years and average

increases by 2 years when one of their relative joins them. Calculate the age
of relative.
Solution: Easy one! Let age of relative is x years. Total age of family before
joining the relative = 4×28=112
112+x
After joining the relative = 28+2, which gives us x = 38 years.
5
Right approach? Or wrong?
Try this approach, Imagine, they all have 28 rupees/candies/marbles
before their relative joins them. When he comes, they all have Rs 30 each.
What does it mean? It means their relative gave Rs 2 to all 4 of them and
even then, he was left with Rs 30, as average means amount is distributed
equally. How much he had given to them? Rs. 8, Right? Therefore, he
initially had total of Rs 38 with him.
Why to waste paper and time if we can do it mentally. Try next question.
Example: Average marks scored by a student in 4 subjects is 75. But when

marks of English are added to it, overall average became 70. How much did
he score in English?
Solution: Let 4 men have 75 gold coins each and when 5th one joins them,
each of those 4 men/exams gave 5 coins/marks to 5th one. And after taking
5 coins from 4 persons, 5th have total 70 coins. It means he initially had 50
coins and that the answer.
Example: Average marks scored by a student in 5 subjects was 79. But

when average is calculated for 4 subjects (without Hindi) it was 4 lesser
than the average of 5 subjects. What was the marks scored by him in Hindi?
Solution: Again let 5 men have 79 candies each and when one of them
leave, he took all candies belonging to him. It means each of these 4 had
borrowed 4 candies from him. He took 79 candies that was with him, plus
these 4 persons returned 16 of his. Therefore, he had 95 candies or marks
whatever you assume.

Example: Average run scored by Sachin in 19 innings of year 2007 is 49

runs while total run scored run scored by Afridi in 19 matches were 760. In
20th match, average of Afridi decreased by 2 runs/ match and average
run/match increased by 1 for Sachin. What is the difference b/w the scored
runs in 20th match by them?
760
Solution: Average runs by Afridi in 19 innings = 40 runs.
19
His average decreased by 2, which means all the 19 innings/persons have
given 2 runs/coins to 20th inning/person. New inning/person borrowed
19 × 2 = 38 runs/coins to become equal with others. Therefore, he himself
have no money and we can conclude Afridi scored 0 in that match.
While for Sachin, his 19 previous innings got 1 run each and even then, his
20th inning remains with 50 runs. Therefore, total runs by Sachin in 20th
inning are 69 runs.
Required difference is 69 runs.
This may look longer when you read it, but once you get the concept
you can solve these questions within 30 seconds.
AGES
The questions on ages are of two types either the average age of a group of
people is asked or we are given the ratios of ages of friends and we are
asked to calculate their individual age or average age. See it through a
question.
Example: Ratio of present age of Rahul and his father is 5:8 and 14 years
earlier this ratio was 1:2. What is present age of Rahul
Solution: 1 way to solve this is assume present age of Rahul and his father
5x and 8x. According to question 14 years earlier ratio of their age was
5x−14 1
=
8x−14 2

 (5x − 14) × 2 = 8x − 14
 2x = 14
 X=7
 Present age of Rahul = 7× 5= 35 years.
Or
If you want to solve it mentally, or in a shorter time, observe carefully
Present age ratio 5 : 8
14 years earlier 1 : 2
Note that as difference b/w ages of two persons is always same, so what we
do? We will make difference b/w two ratio’s same.
Multiply first ratio by difference of second and second ratio bye difference
of first.
First ratio when multiplied by difference of other i.e. (2-1=1) it becomes
5:8
When second ratio is multiplied by difference of first i.e. (8 - 5 = 3) we will
get
1×3 : 2× 3
3 : 6
Now think mentally, that 14 years ago age of Rahul was 3 units and now it is
5 unit.
Therefore 2 units are equal to 14 years, which means 5 unit (age of Rahul)
is 35 years.
NOTE: Concept behind multiplying by difference is that, we must make both
differences (b/w the ratios) equal. To make two numbers equal what we
do? We take their LCM as common. If difference b/w two ratios are 4 and 6,
we will multiply first ratio by 3 and second ratio by 2 to make their
difference equal. Cross check it by your self for some quantities for better
confidence.
Example: Ratio of age of two friends is 7:9 while 10 years later it will be
19:23. Calculate their average age after 7 years from present.

Solution: Difference b/w the ratios are 2 and 4. So to make them equal
multiply first ratio by 2. After multiplying we will get
14 : 18.
And second ratio we have is 19 : 23.
Hence conclude mentally, that 14 units is present age of younger friend and
19 units is his 10 years later age. It means that
19 – 1 4 =5 units = 10 year
1 unit = 2 years.
And their present average age is (28 + 36)/2 = 32 years.
And 7 years later mean 7 is added to both of their age, which means average
age is 32 + 7 = 39 years.
Key Points to Remember for New Pattern Questions

➢ Calculating average means making each quantity equal.
➢ To make difference of two ratios equal, try to think through
‘LCM of difference’ approach.
➢ If the average age of a group of people is X years, Y years
later it will be X + Y years.

Percentage and Profit & Loss

1
A percentage is a number or ratio that represents a fraction of 100 i.e. .
100
For faster and easy calculation one should use fractional equivalent of
2 2
percentage. For example, it’s always easier to use instead of 66 %.
3 3
It becomes easy to understand a question when one talks in terms of

percentage, but while calculating, it is always the fractional equivalent that
comes in hand.
While solving the question one must try to stay away from unnecessary
calculation. This happens in many of the questions related to profit and loss.
Many times one starts calculating the absolute values of CP, SP etc. even
when it’s not required.
Let’s take a couple of sample questions.
Example 1 : 'The CP of an item is Rs. 270. After giving a discount of Rs. 27 a

shopkeeper earns a profit of 20%. What will be the profit percentage if he
does not give the discount?’
Sol. Here, instead of finding out SP or MP, one should look at it the other
way round. If discount of Rs. 27 is not given, then Rs. 27 will become further
profit for the shopkeeper.
27 is 10% percent of 270. Profit of 20% is already there, so new profit%
would become 20% + 10% = 30%.

Example 2: ‘A man while buying cloth from a wholesaler uses a scale that
measures 10% more than the actual length and while selling the same cloth
he uses a scale that measures 10% less than the actual length. Find his
overall profit or loss in this transaction.’
Sol. Here, one just needs to deal with the percentage the shopkeeper gains.
While buying he gets 110 metre cloth on the cost of 100 metre coth and
while selling he gains the cost of 100metre just by selling 90 metre cloth.
10
Multiplication factor while buying = 1+
100
11
=
10
100−90
Multiplication factor while selling = 1+

=

The final multiplying factor becomes = ×

= =1+

which clearly shows a profit of 22 %.

Chapter
Simple Interest and Compound Interest
6
The interest can be defined as amount paid by the borrower to the lender in
addition to the amount which he had borrowed. In competitive exams,
interest is classified into Simple interest (SI) and Compound Interest (CI).
Easiest example, when we borrow money from bank, it doesn’t say pay Rs.
100 as interest every year no matter whether you took a loan of Rs 1000 or
Rs 100000. They offer us a rate generally in % at which we have to pay
interest. This rate is known as Rate of interest (ROI).
For eg. If I borrowed Rs. 500 for 1 year at a rate of 8%/annum. Find the
interest that I have to pay.
Always remember, this 8% we have to calculate on the amount we
borrowed. 8% of Rs. 500 means Rs. 40, that I have to pay as an interest.
Note: Different forms of ROI may be given or we have to change, as 3% for 3

months or 24% for 18 months. For easier calculation we can normalize
these in 12 month/year rate. In above rates, former means 12%/annum
and later means 16%/annum.
Now, if I asked what would be amount of interest that I have to pay, If I

borrow Rs. 500 for 3 years at same rate?
Here arise difference b/w SI and CI.

SIMPLE INTEREST:
Simple interest simply means that we have to pay same amount of interest
every time. If I have to pay interest on Rs. 500 at ROI of 8%/annum for 3
years, it means I will pay
40 × 3 = RS 120.
Formula to calculate SI on an amount is

PRT
SI =
100
Here, P is the amount borrowed and generally it is referred as Principal.
R is ROI in %. (100 in equation is used to because of %)
And T is time in years.
NOTE: If it is asked in a question, that what is interest obtained at the ROI

of 10%(or any value) for 5 years on amount of Rs. Z.
In order to save time first calculate mentally 10 × 5 = 50%. Total interest

will be 50 % of Principal amount.
COMPOUND INTEREST:
The one liner difference b/w SI and CI is that interest paid for every year is
not same. Consider the above example.
Interest accrued in 1st year = Rs. 40

In CI principal amount changes, after 1year principal amount will be Rs. 540
not Rs. 500.
8
After second year interest obtained on Rs. 540 is × 540 = Rs. 43.2
100
And interest after 3 years will be calculated on Rs 540+Rs 43.2= Rs 583.2 i.e
8
× 583.2= Rs. 46.65
100
And total interest will be 40 + 43.2 + 46.65= Rs 129.85
The formula for amount obtained after the given time period in CI
𝐑 𝐧
𝐀 = 𝐏 (𝟏 + )
𝟏𝟎𝟎
Here A is amount obtained after interest, P is principal, n is number of years
R is ROI.
CI= A – P.
In competitive exams, this approach is rarely used because it will be too

calculative if time is 3 years and ROI is 17%.
17 3 117 3
A = P (1 + ) = P( ) Imagine if you started calculating cube of 117 .
100 100
Best approach to use in CI is resultant ROI, it makes CI as easy as SI. Eg.

If ROI on Rs.10000 in a scheme is Y%, calculate total interest after two
years. Then resultant interest is
Y2
Y + Y + (Y × Y)/100 = 2Y +
100
17×17
Resultant interest % on 17%= 2×17 + = 34+ 2.89= 36.89%.
100
It is more time saving than traditional method. Little use of mind will help
you to solve all kind of problems.
Note that if we can calculate resultant interest % for two years, we can also
calculate it for three years. Actually general formula for calculating
resultant % for two years, if ROI on first year is X% and second year is Y%,
then resultant interest % will be
X×Y
X+Y+
100
For calculating 3year resultant interest, first calculate resultant interest of

first two years and then again use resultant formulae for adding resultant of
first two year and ROI of 3rd year.
REMARK: Check 3 years total interest % for ROI 0f 10% whether it comes
33.1%.
DIRECT FORMULAE TO CALCULATE 3 YEARS RESULTANT INTEREST %

3r. 3 r² r³ __
Here, r is ROI
Note that 4 underscores (_ _ _ _) represent 4 digits after decimal. Further,

make it clear that _ _ (last two digits are for last two digits of value of r³]
And starting two (_ _) are for value of 3r².
Consider eg.
3r. 3 r² r³_
When r = 2
r³ = 08, r² = 4, 3r² = 12
Resultant interest is for 3 years

6.1208
Now consider r = 8
r³ = 512, r² = 64, 3r² = 192
use last two digits of r³ for last two digits.
i.e. 3r. _ _ 12, and carry on 5 to 3r².
3r² = 192 + 5 = 197.
Here also, use only its last 2 digit and carry on 1.
3r. 9 7 1 2
3r = 24 + 1 → carry on from 197.
Resultant interest % = 25.9712%
Check for r = 10%.
While solving a question, student should always keep in mind
resultant interest %.
Example: Amount of Rs 4000 becomes Rs 6600 in SI in 5 years. Calculate
ROI.
PRT
Solution: Though general formula of SI i.e. SI = is an easy approach,
100
But try mentally to solve RS 2600 is what % Rs 4000. You can mentally
calculate that
2600 13
= which means 65%.
4000 20
And 65% in 5 years in SI means 13%/year.
Example: Difference b/w interest obtained in SI and CI on an amount at the

ROI of 10% is Rs. 310. Find the principal amount.
Solution:
Calculate resultant % for SI and CI for 3 years at ROI of 10%.
Its 30% for SI and 33.1% for CI. But we know that we calculate interest on
principal. It means that 3.1% of principal is equal to Rs 310. Hence principal
can be calculated.
POINTS TO REMEMBER ALWAYS:

Difference b/w interest obtained on CI and SI for 2 years is PR2/100.
Resultant interest % in CI for 3 years at 10% ROI is 33.1% and
15.7625% at ROI of 5%.

Chapter
Time & Work and Pipe Cistern
7
• Questions asked from this topic generally to test mental ability of a

student calculate the time in which a man/team complete the given
work while efficiency is given.
• While doing the questions from this topic, a most common approach
that student must use is that
‘if a man completes 1 unit of work in N days, then amount/part of
work done by him in 1 day is 1/𝑁,’
Assume that work of man is to eat 100 chocolates and he eats all of
them in 10 days, then amount of work done (chocolates eaten) in 1
100
day is = 10 𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑒𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑛.
10
Or
If Rashmi can make 10 cakes in 5 hours, then amount of work done
10
(Cake made) by her in 1 hour is = 2 cakes.
5
Another easy way to solve questions from this topic is % approach i.e
‘if a man can complete a work in 20 days, then amount of work done
100
by him in 1 day is % = 5%.
20
Consider an example: Rahul can complete a work in 10 days and Arun
can complete the same work in 20 days. Find the time in which the
work will be completed if both of them work together.
There are three approaches to solve this:
(i) TRADITIONAL APPROACH

If Rahul can complete the work in 10 days, then amount of work
done by him in 1 day
1
= 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
10
Similarly amount of work done by Arun in 1 day
1
= 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
20
Hence when both of them work together, total work done is
1 1 3
+ = 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
10 20 20
3
Hence if 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘 𝑖𝑠 𝑑𝑜𝑛𝑒 𝑖𝑛 1 𝑑𝑎𝑦
20
Then 1 unit of work will be completed in 20/3 days.
(ii) LCM APPROACH

In this method, assume the LCM of days as a number of
chocolates. LCM of 10 and 20 is 20. Now assume that there were
20 chocolates, and If Rahul take 10 days to eat them all, it can be
concluded that he ate 2 chocolates per day. Similarly, Arun can eat
1 chocolate in a day.
Therefore,
They both will eat 3 chocolates in 1 day.
20
Time taken to complete whole work(to eat all of them)= 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠.
3
NOTE: Our answer will be same, we consider any number of
chocolates, but for easy calculation purpose we use a number that
is easily divisible by number of days given.
(iii) % APPROACH
This method is kind of same as (i). Consider the work unit as
100% work.
Now note that if Rahul take 10 days to complete 100% of work,
then work done by him in 1 day is 10%. Similarly work done by
Arun in 1 day is 5%. Therefore, both of them working together
will complete 15% of work in 1 day.
100 20
100% of work will be completed in = 𝑑𝑎𝑦𝑠.
15 3
In all these approaches, 1 common thing that occurs is to calculate

amount/part/percentage of work done in 1 day.
LCM approach is best used in the questions in which efficiency of pipe or
volume of tank is given. Consider eg.
Example 1: Pipe A and Pipe B when both opened together can fill a tank in
4 minutes. Pipe A alone can fill it in 16 minutes. Find the time in which pipe
B alone will fill the tank.

In traditional way:
1
Sol. Tank filled by Pipe A alone in 1 minutes = 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡𝑠.
16
Let pipe B alone can fill it in x minutes.
1
Then tank filled by pipe B alone 1 minute = 𝑢𝑛𝑖𝑡.
𝑥
1 1 1
Therefore, + =
𝑥 16 4
1 3 16
= , 𝑥=
𝑥 16 3
LCM APPROACH
Let total units of tank are 16 liters. It means A can fill 1 liter in a minute.
Assume that B fills x unit in a minute. Tank was filled in 4 minutes’ means
4(𝑥 + 1) = 16
𝑥+1 = 4
x = 3 units per minute
16
time taken is minutes.
3
All this could be done was mentally through LCM method. Give it a try!
MAN-DAYS-HOUR-WORK THEOREM
According to this theorem if more than 1 man of equal efficiency are
working together on a same work, then amount/part of work done by them
is directly proportional to the time given to work by number of man. In
more simple words work done depends on efficiency and total time given.

𝐰𝟏 𝐰𝟐
Here m₁, m₂ are number of men
d₁, d₂ are number of days
h₁, h₂ are working hours in given days
w₁, w₂ are part/amount of work done.
For eg. 10 men in 5 days can do same amount of work as 5 men in 10 days
or if we explore it more we can see 10 men in 6 days working 4 hours a day
can do same amount of work as 30 men in 4 days working 2 hours a day.
Please verify above two examples, by assuming a man can eat 1 chocolate in
1 hour and try to solve given problem.
Example 2: 12 Men working 4 hours a day can complete 48% of work in 8

days. Calculate how many men are required to complete 2 units of a work, if
they have to complete it in 10 days, 8 hours a day.
Sol. In this type of problems, by default we have to assume that all men
have equal efficiency and they do the work with uniform speed.
Applying Man-day-hour formulae
m1 d1 h1 m2 d2 h2
=
w1 w2
Here,
m₁ = 12 m₂ = ?
d₁ = 8 d₂ = 10
h₁ = 4 h₂ = 8
w₁ = 48 w₂ = 200
Note that, here w₂ = 200 is used because, 2 units of work means 200%
of work.
12×8×4×200
m2 =
48×8×10
m2 = 20
Another type of concept that is introduced here is when people with

unequal efficiencies are working, for eg. 4 women can do the same amount
of work in a given time as 3 men. For these type of questions, we use ratio
approach, we simply write
4W= 3M
𝑊 3
=> = .
𝑀 4
And then we consider efficiency of a men as 4 units and that of women as 3

units throughout the problem.
Few points to remember:

If the ratio of efficiencies of two persons is x:y then ratio of respective time
taken by them is y:x.
If X is N times efficient than Y, time taken by X to complete a work is
1
𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 time taken by Y.
𝑁
Total work done by a man of efficiency X in N days is 𝑁𝑋 units.

Solutions
1. (a); Ratio of efficiency of Arun, Yash and Rana is 6 : 4 : 5

Total work done by them in 1 day
= (6 + 4 + 5) units = (15) units.
Let they estimate 𝑥 days to complete the work.
Then total work = 15𝑥
40
But Rana’s 1-day work is only 40%, i.e. × 5 = 2 unit
100
The work done by them in actual
= (6 + 4 + 2) (x + 20) = 12(x + 20)
∴ 15𝑥 = 12𝑥 + 240
3𝑥 = 240
𝑥 = 80
Hence, estimated days are 80.
2. (d);
First minutes (P + Q) = (6 + 4) = 10 unit

Second minutes (P + Q – R)

Solution (3-4): Let R earns = y

And P earns = y + x
So, Q earns = y – x
ATQ,
y – x + y + y + x = 1026
y = 342
Each person earns according to their efficiencies so

Money per unit work = Rs.18
3. (c); Amount earned by R and P together in 5 days

Work done = (20 + 19) × 5 = 195
Money earned = 195 × 18 = Rs.3510

Q’s earning ⇒ 12 × 324 = Rs.3888
5. (b); (X+4) men can complete work in 2X days

⇒ 1 man can complete same work in 2X(X+4) days
(X+12) women can complete work in (X+8) days

Chapter
Speed Time and Distance
8
Speed is defined as the distance covered in per unit time. Mathematically,

𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒
Speed= .
𝑇𝑖𝑚𝑒
The whole concept of TSD (Time, speed and distance) lies within this
formula. Three most logical points in TSD are:
1. When speed is constant,
Distance is directly proportional to time i.e. D ∝ 𝑇
2. When distance is constant,
1
Speed is inversely proportional to time i.e. S ∝
𝑇
3. When time is constant,
Speed is directly proportional to distance i.e. S ∝ 𝑇
Another important term that we must know while solving questions in this
chapter is RELATIVE SPEED.
Relative speed is defined as the net speed of two entities when they are in
motion.
If the two entities are moving in opposite direction to each other,

net/relative/resultant speed is sum of the speeds. And when they move in
the same direction, their net/relative speed is the difference of their speeds.
Example: ‘A and B stay next to each other and study in the same school. A
and B start walking towards their school at speeds of 2 km/hr and 3 km/hr
respectively. The faster of the two reaches the school first, turns around and
starts walking back. If A and B meet 200 m away from the home. What is the
distance between their residences and their school?’

Solution: Let the distance where they met be ‘x’ metres from the school.
Distance travelled by A = 200m
Distance travelled by B= 200+x+x=200+2x
As the ratio of their speed is 2:3, and time is same, hence the ratio of
distance travelled by the them is also 2:3.
200 2
=
200+2𝑥 3
Solving, x= 50
Distance between their residences to school= 200+ x= 250m
Example: A goods train leaves a station at a certain time. After 6 hours, an

express train leaves the same station and travels in the same direction at a
speed of 90 km/hr. If the express train catches up the goods train in 4
hours, what is the speed of the goods train?
Solution: Distance covered by express train after leaving the station =

90× 4 = 360𝑘𝑚
Goods train covers this distance in 6+4=10 hours.
360
Hence speed of goods train= = 36 𝑘𝑚/ℎ𝑟

Key Points to Remember for New Pattern Questions

➢ Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance
travelled by total time taken.
➢ Always be careful that units of speed, time and distance for
two or more entities should be same while solving a
problem.
➢ To change speed of km/hr into m/second multiply the
5 18
former by and by 𝑖𝑛 𝑣𝑖𝑐𝑒 𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑎 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑒.

13. (a); Let, speed of car = x km/hr

Speed of bus = y km/hr
ATQ,
Distance covered by bus in one hour
= Distance between bus & car in 8 hour
⇒ y = 8 (y – x) [ ∵ y > x]
y = 8y – 8x
8x = 7y …(i)
and x + y = 240 …(ii)
On solving (i) & (ii)
x = 112, y = 128
After T hour bus is 48 km ahead of car
⇒ (128 – 112) T = 48

In 2.5hr Q travelled 2.5 × 10 = 25 km
Now Boat P returns and relative distance b/w P and Q is 100 km
and relative speed is 10 km i.e. difference of speed of P (25 -5) =
20 km/hr (upstream) and speed of Q (15 – 5) = 10 km/hr

15. (b); Let initial speed of Aman is x km/hr.
Distance travelled by him in 2 hours is 2x km.
While distance travelled by Rajiv in these 2 hours is 75 × 2 = 150
km
When both of them meet, Aman had travelled a distance of 108
km.
Distance travelled by Aman with 25% increase in his speed =
(108 – 2x) km
125 5x
And his increased speed = x( ) = km/hr

If Aman had travelled 108 km, Rajiv had travelled 192 km.
192 – 150 = 42 km after 2 hours
Time taken by Rajiv to travel 42 km

Chapter
Boat and Stream
9
The questions based on boats and streams are simply based on the concept
of relative speed. Generally, two cases arise when a boat moves. Either the
boat moves along the flow of the stream or the boat moves in the direction
opposite to that of stream.
1. If boat moves in the direction of stream. The net speed is the

addition of the speed of stream and boat.
2. If boat moves in the direction opposite to that of stream, the net
speed is the difference of their speeds (speed of boat being more
than that of stream).
In questions related to boat and streams, usually it happens that one may
need to solve complex calculations but using a bit of intelligent guess work
one may save a good amount of time.
A sample problem shows one way of approach:
Example: ‘A man can row 24 km in upstream and 36 km in downstream in

9 hours. The same man can row 8 km in upstream and 48 km in
downstream in 6 hours. Calculate the speed of the stream.’
Sol. The basic approach to this question involves formation of two

equations, which are If we assume speed of stream as r and speed of boat as
x.
24 36
+ =9
𝑥−𝑟 𝑥+𝑟
8 48
+ =6
𝑥−𝑟 𝑥+𝑟

It’s cumbersome to solve these set of equations. So we need to look at

distance travelled in downstream or in upstream. In majority of cases it’s
better to take HCF of distance travelled in downstream in both cases. HCF of
36 and 48 is 12. Now we have to break 12 in two parts such that, adding or
subtracting them, completely divides all the four distance. Try (10,2) (9,3)
(8,4) and check whether these fulfill the condition. Or check from option.
In short we can only check this by hit and trial method.
Here, speed of stream=4km/hr and that of boat in still water is 8 km/hr.
1. A boat goes 28 km downstream and while returning covered only

75% of distance that covered in downstream. If boat takes 3 hr more
to cover upstream than downstream then find the speed of boat in
5
still water (km/hr) if speed of stream is m/sec ?
9
2. The ratio of time taken by boat A and boat B to swim a certain

distance downstream in a river is 3 : 4 respectively. The time taken by
boat B to cover some other distance in upstream is 50% more than
the time taken by it to cover the same distance in downstream. What
is the ratio of speed of boat A to that of boat B in still water?
(a) 7 : 5 (b) 7 : 4 (c) 7 : 3
(d) 7 : 9 (e) 7 : 2
3. There are three points P, Q and R in a straight line in a river such that
point Q is equidistant from point P and Point R. Boat travelled from
point P to R downstream in 8 hours and from point Q to P upstream in
12 hours. Find the ratio between speed of boat in still water to speed
of current?
(a) 3:1 (b) 2:1 (c) 1:2
(d) 5:2 (e) 2:3
4. A boat cover 60 km upstream and 60 km downstream in 22.5 hr with

its usual speed. If boat double its speed then new upstream speed is
150% more than the usual upstream speed. Find the time taken by
boat to cover 80 km in downstream with usual speed.
(a) 12 hr (b) 20 hr (c) 5 hr
(d) 16 hr (e) 10 hr
5. A boat covers total distance of 360km downstream in three equal

parts with the speed of boat be 4x km/hr, 5𝑥 km/hr and 7𝑥 km/hr
respectively. If speed of stream is x km/hr and boat takes total 29.5
hours, then find boat will cover total given distance upstream in three
equal parts with three givens speeds?
6. The speed of two boats A and B in the still water is in the ratio of 3 : 4
and the speed of current is 4km/hr. A start from point P ,45 minutes
earlier than B in downstream direction. If B catch boat A in three
hours then, find boat B takes how much time to cover 120 km distance

Chapter
Mensuration
10
Questions related to mensuration usually don’t involve any short-cut

methods for solving a problem. The reason being how can one use short
tricks when all one has to do is to deal with formulae. To solve questions
faster and in a lucid manner, one must avoid doing unnecessary and
multiple calculations. Rather one must calculate only where it is needed. In
case, ratio or percentage is asked in the question, then it becomes more
easy to do away with hefty calculations and arrive at the answer by using
basic elimination methods.
‘The length, breadth and height of a room are in the ratio 3:2:1. If the
breadth and height are halved while the length is doubled, then the
percentage change in total area of the four walls of the room.’
Area of four walls of the room= 2(lh+bh), where l,b and h are length,
breadth and height of the room respectively.
As we have been asked the percentage change, let’s take length, breadth and
height of the room to be 6,4 and 2 respectively.
Then changed values of length, breadth and height would be 12, 2 and 1.
Initial area of four walls= 2 (6 × 2 + 4 × 2) = 40
Final area of four walls= 2 (12× 1 + 2 × 1)= 28
28 is 70% of 40, which means there has been a reduction of 30%.

Chapter
Permutation, Combination and
11 Probability
The best way to define probability is number of favorable outcomes divided

by total number of possible outcomes. Eg. When we conduct an experiment
of throwing a dice and we have to calculate probability of getting 2.
Now number of favorable outcome is 1 i.e. ‘2’

And total number of possible outcomes is 6 i.e it may appear ‘1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or
1
6’ on throwing a dice. Hence probability of getting a ‘2’ is =
6
If we were asked what is the probability of getting an even number.

Number of possible outcome = 3 (2, 4 or 6)
3 1
Probability of getting an even number on throwing a dice = =
6 2
But the probability in bank exam is not this much easy, we encounter with
way more complicated questions.
Example 1: A C++ program shuffles all the letters of a word. When the
word INDIA was entered, a new word was given as an output.
What is the probability that new word formed is having all the
vowels together?
Solution: We need to calculate two things
(i) Total number of possible outcomes
(ii) Total number of favorable outcomes
Imagine how many different words can be formed by re-
arranging the words of INDIA.
And then how many different possible words can be formed
when ‘IIA’ of ‘INDIA’ are together.
To solve these kind of questions we have PERMUTATION AND
COMBINATION.

Permutation and Combination:

Basic definition: Permutation means different possible arrangement of
things taken all or some of them together.
While Combination means different way of selection of things taken all or
some of them together.
Eg. Of arrangement/permutation:
There were two chairs numbered 1 and 2. In how many ways A, B and C
could sit on them?
SOLUTION: AB or BA, AC or CA and BC or CB. (First person denotes to sit on
chair named A). Hence there are 6 possible ways.
Eg. Of selection/ Combination
There were two chairs and three persons. In how many different ways they
can sit on chairs?
Solution: Either AB, BC or AC will sit on two chairs. Hence there are 3
possible ways.
The point is arrangement when sequence matters is known as permutation

or selecting some or all the persons is called combination.
Before further discussion, let us revise few terms of permutation and
combination.
! is called factorial.
N! where N is a natural number is N × (N-1) × (N-2)….. ×1
0! = 1
N N!
Pr = (N–r)!, it is used in permutation cases
N N!
Cr = , it is used in combination cases.
C!(N–r)!
E.g. In previous cases.
3 3! 3×2×1
P2 = (3–2)! = = 6 arrangements.
1
3 3!
C2 = = 3 cases of selection.
2!(3–2)!
NOTE:
Though permutation and combination in itself are too big, here we will
discuss few of the types of questions that are asked in exam. Look at the
previous example of INDIA.

Example 2: What is the probability that after rearranging the word ‘INDIA’
a new word is formed in which all vowels are together?
SOLUTION: When n things in which p are of one type, q are of one type ,
n!
then total no. of arrangements of those n things is =
p!q!
Taking two Is and one A as a single entity, we have in all 3
entities (N,D and the group of is and A).
Total no. of ways of arranging these three entities is 3!.
3!
Two Is and one A can be rearranged among themselves in
2!
ways.
Hence, total no. of ways in which all vowels are together is
3!
equal to 3!× =18.
2!
Total no. of ways in which all letters of word INDIA can be
5!
arranged = =60.
2!
18 3
Hence required probability= =
60 10
Example: What is the probability that a word formed after rearranging

“ARRANGEMENT’’ such that all vowels are together?
SOLUTION: Following the same method as that of previous question,
Total no. of ways of rearranging the letters of word
11! 11!
ARRANGEMENT= =
2!2!2!2! 16
No. of ways of arranging letters such that all vowels are
8! 4! 8!4!
together= × =

Required probability= 11! =

In examination, we come across questions in which we need to find two

quantities and compare them to reach at the correct answer. Usually such
questions are asked in two ways. In one type of questions, a common data is
provided based on which we are supposed to find both quantities. In other
type of questions each quantity comes up with some data pertaining to it
only.
In these questions, it’s important not to mingle or use data of one

quantity in finding other quantity in cases where separate data is given for
both the quantities. Where common data is provided for both quantities, we
have to use it for calculating both the quantities. After calculating, we
compare both quantities and choose the correct answer from the options
available.
Example: A and B starting a business together. B invested 60% more than

that of A. Ratio of time period of investment of A and B is 8 : 9.
Quantity I: A’s share of profit out of total profit of Rs. 25,200.
Quantity II; B’s share of profit out of total profit of Rs. 14,000.
(a) Quantity I > Quantity II
(b) Quantity I < Quantity II
(c) Quantity I ≥ Quantity II (d) Quantity I ≤ Quantity II
(e) Quantity I = Quantity II or No relation
Solution: (e); Ratio of profit share of A and B

Over the years, questions that test a candidate’s basic algebraic

knowledge have been and are being asked. In these questions, two algebraic
equations are provided. The equation may be linear, quadratic or cubic. At
times, we may come across equations containing higher powers of variable,
but they aren’t too difficult to solve.
These equations generally contain one variable. From the given couple of
equations we need to find the values of two variables. Usually one of the
equations gives us the value of one of the variables and the other gives the
value of the other variable. After finding the values of two variables we
compare them and select the correct option accordingly.
Example: I. 21x² – 22x + 5 = 0

II. 63y² – 54y + 11 = 0
Solution (a); I. 21x² – 22x + 5 = 0

⇒ 21x² – 15x – 7x + 5 = 0
⇒ 3x (7x – 5) – 1 (7x – 5) = 0
⇒ (3x – 1) (7x – 5) = 0
1 5
⇒ 𝑥 = or
3 7
II. 63y² – 54y + 11 = 0
⇒ 63y² – 21y – 33y + 11 = 0
⇒ 21y (3y – 1) – 11 (3y – 1) = 0
⇒ (21y – 11) (3y – 1) = 0

What is data interpretation: When data is organized into tables and charts
it is done with the purpose of making it meaningful. The objective of data
interpretation is to assess whether a student can understand bars and
charts and Answer some questions based on them. This act of organizing
and interpreting data to get meaningful information under a given set of
conditions is Data interpretataion.
About data interpretation: This is the calculation intensive portion, it

consists of a myrid of graph. charts and tables and analyze data. The key
to crack this area is to quickly Identify the key pieces of information that
you will require to work on.
Basic key that will help you to solve this topic:
• Calculation
• Square • cube
• table • BODMAS
• Percentage
• Profit and loss
• Ratio and proportion
• Average
Types of Data Interpretation:
• Data table
• Line graph
• Pie charts
• Bar graph
• Mixed graph
• Line with pie chart • Table with Bar
• Table with Line, etc. • Radar graph
• Triangular graph
• Case study (Puzzle)
• Venn Diagram • Table format

Approach for data interpretation:

• First you look carefully at the table or graph and the direction. Note
the years to which, the data refers to and the units. Sometimes the
figures may be given in thousands. While the Answer may be millions
Resulting in mistakes.
• The level of approximation that can be done is assessed from the
choices. If the answer is wide, time should not be wasted in working
out exact figures. If the choice ‘none of the above exists, a close
approximation may be required’.
• Read the question carefully, it will give an indication as to which
row and column should be seen. A carefull reading of the question
will reveal exactly what is to be done and the units in which the
answer is required.
• There may be one or two very large question requiring calculations.
Attempt these at the last.
• Revise bar charts, table and line graphs before attempting D.I.
question remember that the D.I. section is a scoring one and also
time saving.
Data Table: The numbers in the bracket give the maximum marks in each
subject.

Chapter
Arithmetic Data Interpretation
14
INTRODUCTION: DI stands for DATA INTERPRETATION. Interpretation

means representing a data in a sensitive way after analyzing it well. In all
the banking exam or particularly quant section of bank, DI plays vital role.
The basic DI consists of pie table, bar graph, numerical value table or graph.
Look at this example:
900
800
700
Number of mobiles
600
500
400
300
200
100
0
Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat
Instead of telling ‘number of mobiles sold’ for each day it is represented in

the graph. So that it is more visible and interested for a reader in this form.
Common form of DI are ratios, percentages or average.
ARITHMETIC DI
Arithmetic DI means representing arithmetic equations and conditions

in bar graphs, line graph, pie graph or in any other form of DI. The questions
on arithmetic DI also cover major portion in mains of any banking exam. So
it is necessary to understand the actual concept. Easy way to understand

this is through an example.
Total Road construct = 3600 meters

E A
46° 72°
D
90°
B
80°
C
72°
In this pie chart, portion of ‘Road construct’ is given for 5 different
72
companies. For eg. Company A constructs × 3600 = 720 meters road.
360
Now to make question more complicated different individual for each team
may be given. Let us consider through a bar graph.
32
28
24
No. of Labour in 1 team
20
16
12

A B C D E
Name of teams

Here we have considered number of individuals in each team. Now they

may ask you questions like “How many meters 1 member of team A
constructs”. It is definitely easy one. We just had to do
720
= 40 meters.
18
or to make it more complicated they may ask you
“How many day will 8 members of team C will take to construct 3600
meters road?”
Do it yourself.
HINT: Calculate road constructed by an individual of team C in 1 day as we

have calculated previously. Then calculate how many days 8 men will take
to construct given road.
A key point to solve any arithmetic DI is that to understand what had been
given in DI. Then consider these as an individual separate questions from
arithmetic, also these questions are way easier. Now let us consider another
example:
25% Series 1
20%
20%
15%
15% 12%
10%
10%
5%
5%
0%
A B C D E
Look carefully, here a % graph is given and nothing have been mentioned.
Examiner may mention it “% of distance covered by these (A, B, C, D & E)
individuals in 1 hour and total distance is 100 km” OR
“ % of work done by individuals in given time” OR
“ Profit/loss % earned on selling these items for shopkeeper”

“ Interest rate given by a bank to different individuals” or many other

things.
Point is arithmetic DI is not as hard as student consider it in exams, it is
always easier than actual arithmetic questions that are asked in exam.
Before solving a question, we must exactly know the information he had
given. For eg. Consider that this graph shows profit % for selling these
items. In question, if examiner ask to calculate actual selling price, then he
must mention the CP or some other clue in exam.
Example: Profit earned on selling item C is Rs. 160, what is amount of

profit earned for item D, if both items have same selling price?
Solution: This is a typical DI question. Now look, if we know that 20%
means Rs 160 we can calculate actual CP of item C. (Profit % is
always calculated on CP).
100
CP OF ITEM C = 160 × = 800.
20
It means SP of item C is Rs. 960
Also SP of item D is Rs. 960. And then we can calculate CP and
amount of profit of item D.

Therefore, SI obtained 16x = 16 × 3000 = 4800/-
Using formulae
PRT 48000×100

Data Sufficiency
These questions formerly asked in only MAINS Examination but now-a-
days these questions were seen in PRELIMINARY Examinations too. So,
student can’t deny the importance of DATA SUFFICIENY Questions.
In these questions some data are given in form of statements and one
question is asked. Student must choose that statement/statements which
is/are sufficient to solve the given question.
They consist of two types. In first type, two statements are given while in
second type, three statements are given, and student is expected to choose
the statement/statements among the given statements which is/are
required to solve the question. Five questions of each type are given below
to practice this topic.
Example1.
What is the length of train ‘A’?
A. Train A takes 8 second to cross a pole
B. Train A cross train B coming from opposite side in 8 second, speed of
train B is 25 m/sec and length of train B is half of train A.
C. Train A takes 10 sec to cross two pole 100 m apart.
(a) Only A and B together
(b) Only A and C together
(c) Any two of them
(d) Either B alone or A and C together
(e) All statements are required

Solution:
1. (c); Let length of train A = L

Speed of train A = x
L
From A = = 8
x
L+0.5L
From B = =8
x+25
L+100
From C = = 10
x
From any of these two-statement question be solved.
Example 2:
In how many days B and C together can complete work?
A. Per day efficiency of A, B and C is in the ratio 3 : 2 : 4
B. A and B together can complete the work in 7.2 days
C. Time taken by A, B and C alone to complete the work is in the ratio
4:6:3.
(b) Either A and B or B and C
(c) Any two of them
Solution:
2. (b); From A per day efficiency = 3 : 2 : 4
⇒ ratio of time taken by A, B and C alone to complete work = 4 : 6 :
3 same as (C)
From B) time taken by A and B together = 7.2 days
Either B and A or B and C questions can be solved
Example3:
What is the base radius of the cone?
A. Total surface area of the cone is 462 cm²

1078√3
B. Volume of the given cone is 𝑐𝑚3 and height = 7√3 cm
3
C. Ratio of height and radius of the given cone is √3 : 1
(b) Only A and C together
(c) Any two of them
Solution:
3. (d) From A) T.S.A = πrℓ + πr² = 462 cm2
1078√3 h
From B) V = = πr 2
3 3
And h = 7√3 cm
From C) h : r = √3 ∶ 1
Either B alone or A and C together, question can be solved.
Example 4:

year respectively. Difference b/w profit earned by Satish and Veer is
Zero.
C. Satish, Veer and Yogesh invested for 9 months, 1 year and 8 months
respectively and share of Veer in profit is 900.
(a) Either A and B or B and C
(b) Either A and B or A and C
(c) Any two of them
(e) Either A and C or B and C

Solution:
4. (e); Veer : Satish : Yogesh
From A and C) 6×12 : 8×9 : 9×8
72 : 72 : 72
1 : 1 : 1
Share of Veer = Share of Satish Rs 900
Satish : Veer
From (B and C) 8000×9 : 6000×12
1 : 1
Share of Veer share of Satish = Rs 900
Either A and C or B and C question can be solved.
Example 5:

of Rotten eggs and fresh eggs in Tray A is 7 : 3
(a) Either A or B
(b) Either B or C
(c) Any one of them
(d) A alone
Solution:
5. (b); From A) Tray B = 30
Rotten eggs in Tray B = 9 eggs & fresh eggs in Tray B = 21 eggs
Tray A, Fresh eggs = 14 eggs
From B) Tray A = 20 eggs
Fresh eggs in Tray A = 14 Rotten eggs in Tray A = 6
From C)
Tray B = 30 eggs
Tray A = 20 Eggs
Rotten eggs in Tray A =6 eggs
Fresh eggs in Tray A = 14 eggs
From Either B or C question can be solved.

Let length and breadth be 3x and 2x
2πr = 440 [r → radius of circle]
r = 70 m
∴ breadth = 10 m
& length = 15 m
∴ Area = 10 × 15 = 150 m²
Statement I and III are same.
27. (a); From I

Passed = 400
From III
Let appeared & Passed student be 5x and 3x respectively
2x = 400 ⇒ x = 200
∴ failed = appeared – passed

∴ from I and II or I and III
30. (d); From statement A,

Let MP of speaker = Rs. 100
∴ SP = 80 rupees
From B,
MP of wrist watch = 1.25 M.P of speaker
= Rs. 125 (From st. A)
From C,
100 800
C. P. of speaker = 80 × = (from st. A)
110 11
Here, there is no information about S.P. and Profit of watch. So,
answer cannot be found.
31. (b); From A,

Water = 68 × = 24 ℓ
17
From B, let x ℓ milk is added to the mixture.
24 6
= ⇒x=8ℓ
44+x 13
∴ Total milk in final mixture = 44 + 8 = 52 ℓ
32. (d); From st. A,

Speed of train A = P m/sec (Given)
140 14P
Speed of train B = of P =

From st. B+A,
Length of platform

10
From C, Length of train A

5
3
∴ Length of tunnel = Pt(given) – × 22.4P
5
33. (e); With help of statement A only, required number of ways can be
found out.
34. (e); From statements (I)

Nitin can cut cloth for 20 t-shirts in a day
5
∴ Vishal can cut cloth for 20 × = 25 t-shirts in a day
4
And if Vishal can stich 4x t-shirts in a day, Nitin will stich 5x t-
shirts.
It can’t be solved further.
From statement (II)

We only can obtain time taken by Nitin to build 100 t shirts which
is15 days
Nothing more can be obtained from (II) alone.
From statement (III)
Question can’t be solved from this statement alone.
So, by using (I) & (II)
Nitin will take 3 days to cut cloth for 60 t-shirts, Hence 6 days to
stich them.
Therefore, Nitin stiches 10 t-shirts per day
And Vishal stiches 8t-shirts per day. (From ratio obtained in (I))
Total time required for Nitin alone to make 100 t-shirts
100 100
= + = 15 days
20 10
Total time required for Vishal alone to make 100 t-shirts
100 100
= + = 4 + 12.5 = 16.5 days
25 8
Hence time can be calculated for both.
Using statement (I) and (III)

Days required by Vishal to cut cloth for 50
t-shirts is 2 days
∴ Days required by Vishal to stich 50
t-shirts in 12.5 days
Hence days required for both Nitin and Vishal can be calculate,
[first we will calculate, days required individually and then for both
of them]
Hence question can be solved through I & II or I & III.
35. (e); From Question,

Let age of Aashish and Kullu is 4x and 5x and that of Nikhil & Yash
is 7y and 8y.
From (I) statement
7y – 4x = 18 …eqn. (A)
It can’t be solved further.
From (II) statement

4𝑥–12 2
=
7𝑦–12 5
⇒ 20x – 60 = 14y – 24
⇒ 10x – 30 = 7y – 12
⇒ 10x – 7y = 18 …eq. (B)
5x–12 1
=
8y–12 2
⇒ 10x – 24 = 8y – 12
⇒ 5x – 12 = 4y – 6
5x – 4y = 6 …eqn. (C)
Solving eqn. (B) & eqn. (C)
We will get
x=y=6
Hence their age can be calculated. Also their average age after 4
years.
Therefore, statement (II) alone is efficient to solve question.
From (III) statement
4𝑥+12 3
= ⇒ x = 6, present age of Aashish is 24 years as that of Kullu
4𝑥 2
is 30 years.
Nothing more can be calculated
Now combining statement (III) & (I)
We will get x = y = 6.
Hence question can be solved.
Therefore, this question can be solved by statement (II) alone
or combining (I) and (III).
36. (b);

Let us draw a circular track of 400 meters with 4 point U, V, W and

X at anti-clockwise distance of 100m, 200 m and 300 meter.
From statement (i)
160
They meet second time in seconds that is somewhere between
7
U and X.
Therefore their sum of speed [as both were travelling in opposite
direction] is
800×7
= = 35 ms¯¹
160
As they meet between U and X.
There are two chances, either A have only covered a distance of 57
1 1
meter or total distance of (400 + 57 ) meter, hence, we can’t
7 7
determine who is more faster.
From statement (II)
It is clearly given that B is faster than C, but we can’t determine
who is faster between A and C.
From statement III
A and C only meet at starting points means either their speed is co-
prime of each other or one of their speed is integral multiple of
other and ratio of speed of B and C is given.
Now combining statement (i) and statement (ii)
It is given that B doesn’t run faster at twice or more speed. Hence
1
chances that A only travelled (400 + 57 ) meter distance, hence
7
faster than B, and it is given that B runs faster than C in statement
(ii).
Hence question can be answered from statement (i) and (ii)
We can’t answer question from (i) and (iii) or (ii) or (iii), as we
don’t know who is faster among A and C.
37. (c); From statement …(I)

2 5
Probability is greater than ⅛ i.e. and less than . Therefore, he
16 16
could either have 3 balls or 4 balls. Now sum of green balls and red
balls is odd. [Odd + Even = Odd]. 16 is even.
Therefore, blue balls must be odd. [Odd + Odd = Even].
Hence there are 3 blue balls.

3
(II) Probability of drawing red ball is
8
Therefore, he has 6 red balls.
3 1 7
Probability of drawing green ball = + =
8 16 16
He has 7 green balls.
∴ No. of blue balls he has = 16 – (6 + 7) = 3
Hence question can be answered.
(III) Let he have x balls. If one ball is lost, probability of drawing a
blue ball is
Which gives us x = 3
Hence question can be answered.
Question can be answered from either statement alone.
38. (c); From (I)

Total SP of bats = 1020
5
Therefore, CP of bats = 1020 × = Rs. 850
6
Profit % on ball = 12%
And more can’t be calculated.
From (II)
Profit on 1 ball = Rs.6
Profit on selling both bats = Rs. 170
From (III)
Cost price of each ball = Rs.50
Profit earned on each bat = 20%
From (I) and (II)
Total SP of bats = Rs. 1020
And CP of bats = Rs. 850
Total profit of 36 on balls is 12% of total CP of balls.

36
Hence profit on each ball is 12% which is = Rs. 6
6
Hence CP = Rs. 50/ ball
And question can be answered.
From (I) and (III)
Question can be answered, as we can calculate both CP and SP of
both balls & bat.
From (II) and (III)
Total profit earned is Rs. 206 [from (II)]
We can say that Rs. 170 is 20% of total CP of but, hence SP and CP
of both bats can be calculated.
CP of balls is given in statement (III), Hence question can be
answered from (II) and (III).
Hence, we can answer question from any two statements.
39. (d);
By joining the centers of all four circles, a square is formed which

contain 4 quadrant of circles which together makes a complete
circle.
Area of shaded region = Area of square(EFGH) - Area of bigger
circle – Area of smaller circle
Let radius of smaller circle and bigger circle be ‘r’ and ‘R’
respectively
Then relation between ‘r’ and ‘R’ is
𝑟 = 𝑅(√2 − 1)
A → Radius of bigger circle is given

By this side of square, radius of smaller circle can be find out. So,
area of shaded region can be find out
B → Diagonal of square is given
By this, side of square then radius of bigger circle and then radius
of smaller circle can be find out
After that shaded region can be find out
C → by using this we can find out the radius of the both circles and
side of square.
𝜋𝑅2 − 𝜋𝑟 2 = 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑛
Relation between R and r is:-
𝑟 = 𝑅(√2 − 1)
Hence, Any of A, B or C alone is sufficient to answer the question
40. (b); From A,

Given 𝑟 ∶ ℎ = 7 ∶ 8
From B
Radius of hemisphere
Radius of cone =

𝑟 = 9261
𝑟 = 21 cm
From A & B together —

21
Radius of cone = cm
2
10.5
Height of cone = × 8 = 12 cm
7
So from A and B we can determine the surface area of cone.
From A and C,
Given, radius of cone : height of cone = 7 : 8
Ratio between height and radius of cylinder = 8 : 7
2πr (r + h) = 2640 cm³
2π7x (8x + 7x) = 2640
x = 2 cm
75
Radius of cone = 7 × 2 × = 10.5 cm
100
10.5
Height of cone = × 8 = 12 cm
7
So, from A and B or from A and C, we can determine the surface
area of cone
41. (a); From A,

8𝑡8 = 18𝑡18
We have to find 26𝑡26
8(𝑎 + 7𝑑 ) = 18(𝑎 + 17𝑑)
8𝑎 + 56𝑑 = 18𝑎 + 306𝑑
10𝑎 + 250𝑑 = 0
(𝑎 + 25𝑑) = 0
So 26th term of = (𝑎 + 25𝑑 ) = 0
26 times = 26 × 0 = 0
From B,
No result determines
From C
No result determines
So, only statement A sufficient to give answer of question.
42. (e); From A:

Let cost price = profit percent = x
So,
𝑥×(100+𝑥)
= 119 Rs.
100
x² + 100x = 11900
x² + 100x – 11900 = 0
x = 70 Rs.
From B:
Selling price = 102 Rs.
102
M.P. ⇒ × 7 = 119 Rs.
6
From C:
If M.P. ⇒ 119 Rs.

Let cost price = x Rs.

From B and C together:
𝑥 119
× = 41.65 Rs.
100 2
x = 70 Rs.
Either only A or B and C together.
43. (c); From A,

ATQ,
𝑥+7 3
= ⇒ 3y – x = 7
𝑥+𝑦+7 4
From B,
As all boxes are identical and all colored balls are identical then
number of ways to choose balls is 6 ⇒ 𝑅𝑅, 𝐺𝐺, 𝐵𝐵, 𝑅𝐺, 𝑅𝐵, 𝐺𝐵
Where GG = Green | Green
By this value of x and y cannot be find out
From C
ATQ,
𝑥+𝑦 9
= ⇒x+y=9
𝑥+𝑦+7 16
So, only statement ‘C’ is sufficient to give answer of question.
44. (a); From A,

a, b and c are in A.P
Let common difference = ‘d’ and
⇒a = b−d
And c = b + d
(bc − ab) = b2 + bd − b2 + bd = 2bd
⇒ (bc − ab) is divisble by 2
From B,
Set {a, b, c} is coprime
⇒ all three have ′1′ as common multiple
And they are consecutive numbers
So , either b is even or a and c are both even.
In both cases-
b(c-a)= even

From C
All three are prime numbers but we can’t say whether in these
prime numbers 2 is taken or not. And if 2 is taken then b = 2 or not.
SO, in some cases (bc − ab) is divisble by 2 and in some cases
(bc − ab) is not divisble by 2. Correct conclusion cannot be inferred
from statement ‘C’ alone
So, either statement ‘A’ or ‘B’ alone is sufficient to give answer of
question.
45. (d); From A,

diagonal = 3x, 4x
From B,
4 a = 80, a = 20 ,𝑑12 + 𝑑22 = 1600
From C,
(4𝑥 )2 − (3𝑥 )2 = 448
x = 8, diagonal = 24, 32
1
Area = × 24 × 32 = 384 𝑚2
2
So, using any two of the three statement we can find area of
rhombus
46. (e); Let age of father = 𝑥

Age of son = 𝑦
From A,
𝑥 = 2𝑦
From B,
𝑥+10 12
=
𝑦+10 7
From C,
𝑥 − 𝑦 = 𝑦, 𝑥 = 2𝑦
So, Either A and B together or B and C together are sufficient to
answer the question

47. (b); Distance = 64 km

From A
Ratio between time to reach destination A and to return back = 2 :
1
1
Upstream to downstream Speed ratio = ∶ 1 ⇒ 1 : 2
2
From this we can find out the ratio between speed of boat in still
water to speed of stream
=3:1
From B
Ratio of speed of boat in still water to speed of boat in downstream
=3:4
From this we can find out the ratio between speed of boat in still
water to speed of stream
=3:1
From C
Difference between upstream speed to downstream speed = 4
km/hr
By using ‘A’ and ‘C’ together or ‘B’ and ‘C’ together, answer can be
find out.
48. (a); Let A, B and C can complete the work ‘X’ in a, b and c days
Respectively
1 1 1 1

b= c
5
and
b=a+8
From C

So, either statement ‘A’ alone or ‘B’ alone is sufficient to solve the
question.

49. (c); From A,

𝑥 × 𝑦 = 21 × 3003 = 21 × 21 × 11 × 13
L.C.M is 21 ⇒ Minimum value of ‘x’ or ‘y’ should be 21
From B,
(𝑥 − 𝑦) 𝑜𝑟 (𝑦 − 𝑥 ) = 42
From C
Both x and y are multiple of 21 ⇒ L.C.M of x and y is 21.
Hence, either statement ‘A’ and ‘B’ together or ‘A’ and ‘C’ together
are sufficient
50. (a); In the figure Triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle

And relation between radius or circle (r) and side of triangle (a) is
given below
𝑟 1
=
𝑎 2(1+√3)
From A,
Area is given ⇒ radius is given ⇒ side of triangle can be find out ⇒
Area of shaded region can be find out
From B,
Perimeter of triangle is given ⇒ radius of circle can be find out ⇒
Area of shaded region can be find out
From C
It is a basic condition of this figure and anything cannot be
concluded from this statement
Hence, either statement ‘A’ or ‘B’ alone is sufficient.


Chapter
16 Caselets
A Caselet is another way of providing data, more often, explicitly. Unlike

various graphical methods of data representation, a caselet requires to be
solved completely before arriving at the answers to the questions that
follow it. Usually, in a caselet, data is provided through statements that
imply the logic or relation of various components of data. Some caselets are
based on Set Theory and concepts of Set theory are applied to them. All
other caselets are based on basic mathematical understanding.
A sample example of a caselet is as follows:
‘PO’ exam in Lucknow is 60% more than candidates who are appearing
for same exam in Agra. Number of candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam in
Allahabad is 48% of total candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam. Ratio
between total candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam and ‘Clerk’ exam is 5 : 9.
Difference between candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam in Lucknow and
Allahabad is 400. Ratio between candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam to
‘Clerk’ exam in Agra and Lucknow is 5 : 12 and 8 ; 9 respectively.
Let total candidates appeared for ‘PO’ exam and ‘Clerk’ exam is 500x and
900x
Number of candidates appearing for ‘PO’ exam in Allahabad

Let total candidates appeared for ‘PO’ exam in Agra = y
Then total candidates appeared for ‘PO’ exam in Lucknow = 1.6y
ATQ,
y + 1.6y = 260x ⇒ y = 100x
