Total Questions: 30

1. Find the pattern of the series and answer the question given below. Series: 16X, 48000, 16000, 4000, Y, 133 1/3 Find the value of X/3 − 1.5Y.

Correct Answer: (d) 800 
Solution:

The pattern of the series:
16X, 48000, 16000, 4000, Y, 133 1/3

16X → 48000 → 16000 → 4000 → Y → 400/3

× 1/2 → × 1/3 → × 1/4 → × 1/5 → × 1/6

16X × 1/2 = 48000
16X = 96000
X = 6000

4000 × 1/5 = Y
800 = Y

Required value = X/3 − 1.5Y
= 6000/3 − 1.5(800)
= 2000 − 1200
= 800

2. Directions (2-3): Find the pattern of the series and answer the question given below

Series: n, (n+1), (n+2)², ((n+1)³ − 2³), ((3x)²+11), m
Note: The root of the equation x² − 6x + 9 = 0 is equal to n.

Ques : Find the value of m.

Correct Answer: (e) 130.5
Solution:

x² − 6x + 9 = 0
x² − 3x − 3x + 9 = 0
x = 3, 3
n = 3

The pattern of the series:
n, (n+1), (n+2)², ((n+1)³ − 2³), ((3x)² + 11), m

3, 4, 25, 56, 92, m

1, 21, 31, 36, 38.5

20 → 10 → 5 → 2.5
÷2 → ÷2 → ÷2

m = 92 + 38.5

m = 130.5

3. Find the value of n × (m − 30.5).

Correct Answer: (c) 300
Solution:

Required value = n × (m − 30.5) = 3 × (130.5 − 30.5)
= 3 × 100
= 300

4. Directions (4-8): Read the following charts carefully and answer the questions given below.

The donut chart shows the degree distribution of the total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured by a company in three different months.

Correct Answer: (d) Both II & III 
Solution:

Given,
5x + 4.5x + 27 + 10x − 18 = 360
19.5x = 351
x = 18

Degree of total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in April = 90 degree
Degree of total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in May = 108 degree
Degree of total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June = 162 degree

Let the total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured all three months together be 180a

The ratio of bus tires manufactured and truck tires manufactured in May = (18 − 4) : 11
= 14 : 11

The number of bus tires manufactured in May
= 180a × 108/360 × 14/25 = 30.24a

The number of bus tires sold in May = 30.24a × 75/100
= 22.68a

The number of bus tires unsold in May = 30.24a − 22.68a = 7.56a

Given, 7.56a = 21
a = 21/7.56

The total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured all three months together
= 180 × 21/7.56 = 500

I. Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June > 225

Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June
= 500 × 162/360 = 225

It is incorrect.

II. Total number of truck tires manufactured in May < 68

Total number of truck tires manufactured in May
= 500 × 108/360 × 11/25 = 66

It is correct.

III. Total number of unsold truck tires in May is multiple of 11

Total number of unsold truck tires in May
= 500 × 108/360 × 11/25 × 50/100 = 33

It is correct.

5. The total number of truck tires manufactured in April is 4x+3 and the total number of bus tires manufactured in April is 33.33% less than that of truck tires.

Quantity I: Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June.
Quantity II: Total number of bus tires and truck tires together sold in April.

Correct Answer: (a) Quantity I > Quantity II
Solution:

The total number of truck tires manufactured in April
= 4x + 3 = 4(18) + 3 = 75

The total number of bus tires manufactured in April
= 75 × 2/3 = 50

Let the total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured all three months together be 180a

180a × 90/360 = (75 + 50)
45a = 125
a = 125/45

The total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured all three months together = 180a = 500

Quantity I: Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June = 500 × 162/360 = 225

Quantity II: Total number of bus tires and truck tires together sold in April
= 50 × 60/100 + 75 × 80/100 = 30 + 60 = 90

So, Quantity I > Quantity II

6. Which of the statement/s is/are sufficient to find the number of unsold truck tires in May.

Statement I: Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in July is 20x which is 20% less than the total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June.

Statement II: Total number of tires (bus + truck) sold in May is 192.

Correct Answer: (c) Neither I nor II
Solution:

From I:
Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in July = 20x = 20 (18) = 360
Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June = 360 × 100/80 = 450
Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in May = 450 × 108/162 = 300

From II:
Total number of tires (bus + truck) sold in May = 192

Both statements together
Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in May = 300
Total number of tires (bus + truck) sold in May = 192
Total number of tires (bus + truck) unsold in May = 300 − 192 = 108

We have no data about total number of bus tires or truck tires.
So, neither I nor II.

7. The total number of bus tires sold in April is 90, and the total number of unsold truck tires in April is 2.5x. Find the difference between the total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June and the number of unsold bus tires in May.

Correct Answer: (c) Can’t be determined
Solution:

Total number of bus tires sold in April = 90
Total number of unsold truck tires in April = 2.5x = 2.5(18) = 45
Total number of bus tires manufactured in April = 90 × 100/60 = 150
Total number of truck tires manufactured in April = 45 × 100/20 = 225
Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in April = 150 + 225 = 375

Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June = 375 × 162/90 = 675
Total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in May = 375 × 108/90 = 450

We have no data about the total number of bus tires or truck tires in May.
So, can’t be determined.

8. The difference between the total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in June and April is (x+2)², and the total number of bus tires sold in May is 120 more than that of the truck. Find the total number of unsold tires (bus + truck) in May.

Correct Answer: (e) Both (b) & (c)
Solution:

Let the total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured all three months together be 180a

Given,
180a × 162−90 / 360 = (x+2)²
36a = 400
a = 400/36

The total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured all three months together = 180a = 2000

The total number of tires (bus + truck) manufactured in May = 2000 × 108/360 = 600

Let the number of bus tires manufactured in May be P

And the number of truck tires manufactured in May = 600 − P

ATQ,
P × 75/100 − (600 − P) × 1/2 = 120
0.75P − 300 + 0.5P = 120
1.25P = 420
P = 336

The number of bus tires manufactured in May = 336
And the number of truck tires manufactured in May = 600 − 336 = 264

Total number of unsold tires (bus + truck) in May
= 336 × 25/100 + 264 × 1/2 = 84 + 132 = 216

9. Directions (9-11): Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below. The information is about the total number of students (boys and girls) registered in an exam in three years.

2021: 90% of the total number of students appeared in the exam out of the total number of students registered in the exam.

2022: 75% of the total number of students registered for the exam out of the total number of students appeared in the exam in 2021.

2023: 20% of the total number of students registered in the exam in 2022 are equal to the total number of students did not appear in the exam in 2023.

The total number of students not qualified in the exam in 2021 is 162, which is 170% more than the total number of students did not appear in the exam in 2021. If the total number of students appeared in the exam in 2023 is 190, then find the total number of students registered in the exam in 2023.

Correct Answer: (a) 271 
Solution:

In 2021
Let total number of students registered be 100x
Total number of students appeared = 90x
Total number of students did not appear = 10x

In 2022
Total number of students registered = 90x × 75/100 = 67.5x

In 2023
Total number of students did not appear = 20/100 × 67.5 = 13.5x

Total number of students not qualified in the exam in 2021 = 162
Total number of students did not appear in the exam in 2021 = 162 × 100/270 = 60
10x = 60
x = 6

Total number of students registered in the exam in 2022 = 67.5 (6) = 405
Total number of students did not appeared in 2023 = 20/100 × 405 = 81
Total number of students registered in the exam in 2023 = 81 + 190 = 271

10. The difference between the total number of students did not appeared in 2023 and in 2021 is 14. If the total number of students appeared in 2022 is 140, then find the average number of students registered in 2021 and number of students did not appeared 2022.

Correct Answer: (e) 265
Solution:

13.5x − 10x = 14
x = 4

Total number of students registered in 2021 = 100x = 400
Number of students did not appeared 2022 = 67.5(4) − 140 = 130
Required average = (400 + 130)/2 = 265
