Solutions for questions 14 to 17: 14. If one observes the values given for the different parameters, the values that were varying with production, i.e., value was increasing when production increased and value decreasing when production decreased are material, labour and operating cost of machines. All the remaining costs, i.e., rent of building, consumables, rates and taxes, repair and maintenance expense and selling and marketing expenses are fixed. Hence, there will be no change in these costs. The total fixed cost = 1800 + 600 + 1200 + 8700 + 2100 = 14400 The cost/unit for different variable costs is as follows. Material = `50 per unit. Labour = `20 per unit Operating cost of machine = `30 per unit Total = `100 per unit Selling price per unit = `125 per unit 14400 Total cost/unit for 2100 units is `100 + 2100 = `107 Choice (2) 15. For one product, Selling price = `125 Variable cost = `100 _________________ Difference = `25 _________________ Now, to avoid loss, the company has to offset the fixed cost (i.e., 14400) for which it has to produce a total of 14400 = 576 units. Choice (3) 25 16. The reduction in selling price per unit = 5% of 125 = 6.25 New selling price = 118.75 Total fixed costs = `14400 Variable cost per unit = `100 Now the total profit increases with the increase in number of units sold and the maximum profit is obtained when the company sells and 3000 units. Choice (5) 17. The given condition is that if the company sells upto 2100 units, the selling price per unit is `125 and if the company sells 2550 units, the selling price per unit for all the units is `120.

The energy consumption of Geyser in a week is 7 kWh and we know the family uses the Geyser for 2 hrs in a day. Hence for 14 hrs in a week the energy consumption is 7 kWh. Hence the energy consumption of a Geyser per day is 1 kWh. Now, energy consumption of Refrigerator in a week is 14 kWh and the family uses Refrigerator throughout the day. Hence, the energy consumption of Refrigeration per day is 2 kWh. Similarly the energy consumption for TV in a day is 2 kWh. The energy consumption for Washing machine in a day is 1 4 kWh and for Grinder is kWh 7 7

From A, as 60% of the newly joined employees were not managers, the remaining 40% of the newly joined employees were managers. It is given that 10 managers had newly joined. 40% = 10 100% = 25 Hence, A alone is sufficient. B gives no data, it is just an assumption. Choice (1) From A and the given condition, either Babu or David got the highest rank. Hence, A alone is not sufficient.

It is given that, 30% of the students are boys, which implies 70% of the students are girls. Also 10% of the girls are athletes. 10% (70%) = 7% of the students are female athletes. From A, 25% of the students are athletes Hence 25 7 = 18% of the students are boys who are athletes. So, A alone is sufficient. From B, Number of boys who are athletes = 120% of the girls who are athletes. As 7% of the students are girls who are athletes, 120% (7%) = 8.4% of the students are boys who are athletes. So, B alone is also sufficient. Choice (3) Clearly, A alone is not sufficient, as we do not know how many points the opponent scored. B alone is also not sufficient, as we do not know how many points team A scored. Combing A and B, If the score at the half time was say 0-25, then the match would have ended in a tie at 35-35. So, team A did not win. Had the score at half time been, say, 10-35, then in the end it would have been 45-35 and team A would have won. So, we cannot answer the question even after combining both the statements. Choice (5)

Again yz = 21 the different possibilities are 1 21 37 But we do not know if x , y, z are natural numbers or not. For eg if y = 9, we can get. 7 xy = 18 as 29 and yz = 21 as 9 3 There will be infinite possibilities like this, so statement A is not sufficient. Statement B above is also not sufficient as it gives information regarding x and z only and nothing about y. Combining both the statements, we can conclude that x = 6, y = 3 and z = 7. Thus z is the maximum.

Using statement A alone we have SEVEN = 19 and FIVE = 14, without knowing anything about the values of individual alphabets, we cannot answer the question.

SEVEN = 19 If E = 2 and V = 5, we get S = 9 whereas if E 3 and V = 5, we get S = 7. So we cannot determine S uniquely. Thus the question cannot be answered even by combining both the statements.

As the direction of the price movement is not known, the profits of Bala and Chandu depends upon the prices at which they bought gold i.e., if they buy at lesser price than that bought by Anand, their profits would be more, if not, the profits of Anand would be more than that of the other two. Hence the answer cannot be determined. Choice (5) Anand buys the entire quantity at a single point of time, whereas each of the other persons buy once every hour. As the direction of movement of gold is not given, we cannot compare the returns of Anand with the other two persons. Bala: Bala buys the same quantity of gold every time, irrespective of the price. Chandu: Chandu spends the same amount every time, his buying depends on the price of gold at the time he buys. The more the price, the lesser quantity he buys. As his strategy is based on prices, whenever the prices are changing, Chandus returns will be more than that of Bala. But if there is no change in the price of gold the returns of Bala and Chandu would be equal. Hence no conclusion can be made. Choice (5)

Stage As P, Q, S and T won at least one match, R and U lost all the three matches. As Q, S and T lost at least one match, P won all the three matches. In stage-, there are a total of 9 matches and so 9 wins. Q, S and T won two matches each. As P (the top team in stage-) did not play against U, P played matches against Q and R. The ninth match was between Q and U. So the nine matches that have taken place are as follows. Won P Q P Lost S T Q Won S T P Lost R R R Won S T Q Lost U U U
10. On a boom day, the price of gold keeps rising, hence it will be the least in the morning. Hence, Anand who bought all his holdings in the morning will get the maximum profit. Between the remaining two, Bala bought the same quantity at every time, i.e he bought the same quantity even at higher prices whereas Chandu spent the same amount. Hence, Chandu bought less quantity of gold when prices were high and more when prices were less. Hence, Chandus returns are more than that of Bala's. Bala will have the least returns. Choice (1)
Let the prices of gold at different timings be as follows. Time 10 a.m. Price a 11 a.m. b 12 noon 1 p.m. 2 p.m. 3 p.m. c d e f

We will look at the additional information given: The quantity bought by Anand at 10 a.m. is the same as the quantity he sold at 3 p.m. As it is given that Anand lost money, we can ignore the quantity bought/sold and can conclude that the price at 3 p.m. must be less than that at 10 a.m. a>f () Similarly the quantity of gold bought/sold by Emma in each instance is the same and it is given that Emma made a profit. Hence we can conclude that (c + f) > (a + d) () Also using similar logic in case of David, we conclude that (d + e + f) > (a + b + c) () It is given that the price increased from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. e<f (V) It is given that price at 12 noon was lower than the opening price c < a (V) From (i) and () we can conclude that c > d (V) From (), () and (V) we conclude that e > b (V) Hence a > f > e > b and a > c > d a is the highest.

f = e = k. From equation (1), a + e + d + g = 2 (b+ f + c) a + k + d + 3k = 2 (b + c) + 2k a + d = 2(8k a) 2k. 3a + d = 14k (3) From equation (2), we get, 4d + 11k = 5b + a (4) Again number of students who opted for only Finance & HR, i.e., d was 50% of those who opted for only Finance i.e., a. d = 50% a. Substituting in equation (3), we get d = 2k and a = 4k. Substituting in equation (4) we get b = 3k. Now (a + b + c + d + e + f + g) = 15k 15k = 270 k = 18 Exactly two = d + e + f = 4k = 4 (18) = 72 students. Choice (B)

Solutions for questions 18 to 25: 18. W5 and W7 are allotted a shift, one earlier than W6 and W3 and W9 are also allotted a shift earlier than W6. Again as W3 is allotted a shift lower than W2, if we allot the afternoon shift for W3 and W9; W5 and W7 being one shift earlier than W6, we will have four workers in the Afternoon shift if W6 is allotted the Evening shift. Thus the only shift that can be alloted to W6 is the Night shift. The following table gives the workers and the shift they were allotted to.
It is given that n = O g = 37.5% of (a + b + c) i.e., g =

As D refused to lead the team as captain if A or B led the team as captain in the preceding match, we can conclude that D can be the captain of the team only in Match 5. Again with D as Captain in Match 5, A must have captained the side in Match 2 for A cannot be the captain in Match 4. Now with A as the captain in Match 2, C must have been the vice captain in that match. Thus C was the vice captain in Match 2. Choice (C)

Solution for question 6: 6.
Given that for every `2 increase in the selling price per ball, the number of balls sold decreases by 20. If the selling price of each ball is increased k times, selling price = `59 + 2k. Profit per ball = (59 + 2k) 50 = 9 + 2k. Number of balls sold = 700 20k. Profit obtained = (9 + 2k) (700 +20k). Profit = 10 ((9 + 2k) (70 2k)) = 10 (630 18k + 140k 4k2) = 10 (630 (4k2 122k)) 2 2 61 61 = 10 630 2k 2 2
2 2 61 61 = 10 630 + 2k 2 2 61 61 Profit is maximum when 2k = 0 2k = 2 2 But since k is an integer, 2k must be an integer. 60 62 2k can be taken to be or 2 2 If 2k = 30, profit = 10 ((9 + 30) (70 30)) = 10 39 40 = `115600 If 2k = 31, profit = 10 ((9 + 31) (70 31)) = 10 40 39 = `115600 For maximum profit, Selling price = 59 + 2k = 59 + 30 = `89 or 59 + 31 = `90 When selling price is `89, balls sold = 700 300 = 400 When selling price is `90, balls sold = 700 320 = 380 Of the given choices, only (A) satisfies.

Given Team I scored maximum number of points, 364 is at the 15th place and Team A got 361 points. Given the sum of the points scored by teams at (13 + 14 + 15) is 1046. 364 + 361 + x = 1046 x = 321 Hence Team A is in the 14th place. As team C got 218 points and is in the 10th place and Team O got 251 points. Hence Team O should be placed between 11 -13. Given the ascending order of teams according to their points is O J F. Hence Team O is in the 11th place, team J is in the 12th place and Team F is in the 13th place with 321 points. Now we know the points of the teams in the 10th and the 11th place. Hence the points of the team in the 12th place is 284 points (from 10 + 11 + 12 = 753). As Team N and team B got 108 and 165 points respectively less than team F. Team N got 213 points and Team B got 156 points. The clue 7 + 8 + 9 = 590 implies that we can calculate the points of the third team in the above group. [We know N is one of the teams in the group] Hence 213 + 182 + x = 590. x = 195 points. Hence Team N is in the 9th place. The clue Team E got 18 points less than Team N, implies that team E is in the 8th place. From the clue 4 + 5 + 6 = 412, we know B is one of teams in the group. Hence 116 + 156 + x = 412 x = 140 Hence Team B is in the 6th place. The clue Team H got 4 points more than Team M, implies that Team K is in the 5th place. From the clue 1 + 2 + 3 = 302, we get 96 + x + 4 + x = 302 x = 101 Hence Team M got 101 points and is in the 2nd place. Therefore Team H got 105 points and is in the 3rd place.

As policies mature in between 1997 and 2002 and a policy matures on Feb 29th, the policy should mature on 29th Feb 2000. Now the policy which matures on Jan 10th matured after Feb 29th. Hence the policy on Jan 10th can be in 1997 or in 2002. But from one of the clues the policy on May 21st is the last and the Sep 17th policy is immediately before the May 21st policy. Hence the policies on Sep 17th and Jan 10th should mature the same year. The policy on August 8th is before Feb 29th. Hence August 8th policy is for either 98 or 99.

F S UK USA
G USA
USA
USA
Now the friends from UK are separated by atleast four friends. So the other friend from UK can come either in the 2nd or the 4th position from the right. But from one of the clues P is from Australia and is in between and J. Hence we can get it as.

G R USA UK
P J USA Aus USA

Now D got the 4th rank D gets less than C. But the condition that one pair should have same marks is not satisfied. Hence E should get the highest marks. So E > C > A Now D cannot have more marks than C as D should have marks less than 3 students, hence C > D. As the first and the last ranked students do not have same marks as any other student, B should get the same marks as 'C'.
