6. Ans. A
Number of accounts opened in Bank A in May=62
Number of accounts opened in Bank A in July=48
Number of accounts opened in Bank A in
September = 35
⇒Total number of accounts opened in bank
A = 62 + 48 + 35 = 145
Number of accounts opened in Bank B in May=45
Number of accounts opened in Bank B in July=65
Number of accounts opened in Bank B in
September = 72
⇒Total number of accounts opened in bank
(6)
B = 45 + 65 + 72 = 182
∴ Required difference = 182 – 145 = 37
Hence, 3700 is the difference between total
number of accounts opened in bank A in May, July
and September together and the no. of accounts
opened in bank B in the same months.
7. Ans. D
Number of accounts opened in bank A in January
2016 = 7000
There is an increase of 20% in January 2017 =
1400
⇒ Number of accounts opened in bank A in
January 2017 = 8400
Number of accounts opened in bank B in January
2016 = 3000
There is an increase of 10% in January 2017 =
300
⇒ Number of accounts opened in bank B in
January 2017 = 3300
∴ Required difference = 8400 – 3300 = 5100
Hence, 5100 is the difference between no. of
accounts opened in bank A and bank B in January
2017.
8. Ans. C
The number of accounts opened in Bank B in
October is equal to average of accounts opened of
same bank in September and November
⇒Average of accounts opened in bank B in
October = (72 + 76)/2 = 74
The accounts opened in bank A in October is 1/2
of account opened in bank B in the October
month
No of accounts opened in bank A in October
= 1/2 × 74 = 37
Hence, the number of accounts opened in bank A
in October is 3700
9. Ans. B
Total accounts opened in March 2016 = 8500 +
3800 = 12300
⇒ Total accounts opened in March 2017 = 12300
+ 4920 = 17220
Accounts opened in bank A in March 2016 = 8500
⇒ Accounts opened in bank A in March 2017 =
8500 + 2125 = 10625
∴ Accounts opened in bank B in March 2017 =
17220 – 10625 = 6595
∴ Required difference = 6595 – 3800 = 2795
10. Ans. D
Number of accounts opened in bank A in May and
November together = 6200 + 1500 = 7700
Number of accounts opened in bank B in January
and September together = 3000 + 7200 = 10200
∴ Required ratio = 7700/10200 = 77/102 = 77 :

95 X 80+60*300=?2 Cost of handling of sugar = Rs. 3
Selling price of sugar = Rs. 30
Cost of transportation of barley = Rs. 10
Given, cost of transportation of sugar is half of the
cost of transportation of barley
Cost of transportation of sugar = Rs. 5
Cost price of sugar = 20 + 3 + 5 = Rs. 28

Production cost = Rs. 33
Cost of handling = Rs. 3
Let the cost of transportation be ‘a’.
Total cost price = 33 + 3 + a = Rs. 36 + a
Loss% = 5%
13. Ans. D Given, selling price = Rs. 38

Let the selling price be ‘a’.
Given, profit% is same
(a-65)*100/70 =50/3
15. Ans. E ⇒ 6a – 390= 70

Let the transportation cost be ‘b’.
Handling cost of wheat = Rs. 5
Given, selling price of a quintal of wheat is Rs.

∴ Selling price of 1kg of wheat

= 2200/100 = Rs. 22 23. Ans. E
Total cost price = 12 + 5 + b = 17 + b The pattern of given series is:
Profit% = 10% → 17,
→ 68 = 17 × 4,
→ 289 = 68 × 4.25,
⇒ 50 – 10b = 17 + b → (?) = 489 × 4.5,
⇒ 11b = 33 → (?) = 1300.5
⇒b=3 → 6177.375 = 1300.5 × 4.75,
→ 30,886.875 = 6177.375 × 5,
Thus, the missing number is 1300.5
20. Ans. B
From the table, 24. Ans. B
Production cost of lentils = Rs. 60
The pattern of given series is:
Transportation cost of lentils = Rs. 5
→ 8226,
Let the handling cost be ‘a’.
→ (?) = 8226 ÷ 6 - 6,
Total cost price = 65 + a
→ (?) = 1365
Given, selling price = Rs. 90 and profit% is 20%
→ 268 = 1365 ÷ 5 – 5,
→ 63 = 268 ÷ 4 – 4,
→ 18 = 63 ÷ 3 -3,
⇒ 125 – 5a = 65 + a → 7 = 18 ÷ 2 -2
⇒ 60 = 6a → 6 = 7 ÷ 1 -1
⇒ a = Rs. 10 Thus, the missing number is 1365
Now, the profit% = 25%
Let the handling cost be ‘b’ 25. Ans. A
Total cost price = 65 + b

⇒ 100 – 4b = 65 + b
⇒ b = Rs. 7
Reduced handling cost
= Rs. 10 – 7 = Rs. 3

21. Ans. D
The pattern of given series is: 26. Ans. B
→ 13, A/B=100/90 also B/C=100/75 then A/C=40/27
→ 14 = 13 + 15, So in a race of 40m A beats C by 13m
→ 46 = 14 + 25, In a race of 100m A beats C by 32.5m
→ 289 = 46 + 35, So C covers 32.5m in 10 sec. speed of
→ (?) = 289 + 45, C=3.25m/sec
→ (?) = 1313 Perimeter of circle=3.25*100=325m
→ 4438 = 1313 + 55, Area=3252/4π=8401(approximately)
→ 12214 = 4438 + 65,
Thus, the missing number is 1313 27. Ans. A

The pattern of given series is: x x3
Original fraction and its reciprocal
→ 25, x3 x
→ 14 = 25 × 0.5 + 1.5, According to question,
→ 16 = 14 × 1 + 2,
→ 26.5 = 16 × 1.5 + 2.5
→ (?) = 26.5 × 2 + 3
→ (?) = 56
→ 143.5 = 56 × 2.5 + 3.5
→ 434.5 = 143.5 × 3 + 4

Let the Initial quantity of pulse X and Y be 10x
and 7x respectively
When 8.5 gms of mixture are drawn, then
quantity of X in mixture left
= (10x - (10/17) × 8.5)
⇒ Quantity of X in mixture left = 10x – 5
Quantity of Y in mixture left = (7x – (7/17) × 8.5)
⇒ Quantity of Y in mixture left = 7x – (7/2)
According to the given information:

Numerator will be an Integer so, x = 5

x 5 5
Original fraction = = 
x3 53 8
Sum = 5 + 8 = 13
⇒90x – 45 =70x – 35 + 85
⇒90x – 70x = 45 + 85 – 35
28. Ans. C ⇒20x = 130 – 35
A do the work for 3 days + 3 days = 6 days, B ⇒20x = 95
work for 3 days and C work for 3 days. ⇒x = 95/20= 4.75
 10x = 10 × 4.75 = 47.5 grams
Hence, 47.5 grams of pulse X was contained by
the container initially.

31. Ans. D
Three days’ work of The ratio of the ages of Radhika and Rinku is 3:1.
Let their ages be 3x and x respectively – (1).
The ratio of ages of Rinku and Sindhu is 8:5.
C= Let their ages be 8y and 5y.
Given that Rinku is 6 years elder to Sindhu.
Ratio of share
 8y - 5y = 6 ⇒ y = 2.
Thus,the present ages of Rinku and Sindhu are 8
× 2 = 16 and 5 × 2 = 10 respectively.—(2)
From (1) and (2),we have x = 16.
(money divided according work done by them)
Therefore,the age of Radhika is 3 × 16 = 48.
=12:9:15=4:3:5
After 12 years,their ages would be 48 + 12 =
Share of C
60,16 + 12 = 28 and 10 + 12 = 22 respectively.
So,the ratio is 60 : 28 : 22 or 30 : 14 :
11 (dividing throughout by 2).

29. Ans. D
Given, A, B enter a partnership investing amounts
Sells at marked price = x/2,
in the ratio 2 : 3.
Sells at 25% discount = x/6
Let the amounts be 2a and 3a respectively.
Sells at 20% discount = x/3
After 5 months, A withdraws Rs. 2400 while B
increases his investment by 20%.
∴ Investment of A for 7 months = 2a – 2400
Investment of B for 7 months = 3a + 20% of 3a =
3.6a
Given, C invests an amount 150% of A’s initial
investment.
Profit = ∴C’s investment = 150% of 2a = 3a
Let the number of months for which C invested
the money in a year be b.
Total investments made by
(9)
www.gradeup.com

A = 2a × 5 + (2a – 2400) × 7 = 24a – 16800 So the first two digits can be arranged in 2! ways.
Total investments made by Hence, required probability
B = 3a × 5 + 3.6a × 7 = 40.2a
Total investments made by C = 3a × b = 3ab
Ratio of profits = Ratio of investments made
Given, ratio of profits at the end of a year of A, C
is 53 : 45 and B, C is 67 : 25. 35. Ans. C
(24a-16800)/3ab =58/45 and 40.2a/3ab =67/25 Given, inverted right circular cone has a radius of
Solving these two equations we get, b = 5 months 12 cm. This cone is partly filled with a liquid which
and a = Rs. 3600 is dripping from a hole in the tip at a rate of 4/3
Initial investment of B = 3 × a = Rs. 10800 cm2/hour. The level of liquid is 4 cm from the top
and surface area is 64π cm2.
33. Ans. E Surface area = πr2
Let the amount invested in plan A be ‘a’. ∴ πr2 = 64π
⇒ r = 8 cm
For CI: , CI = A – P Ratio of radius is equal to ratio of heights.
For SI: SI = (P × R × T)/100
Given, plan A : 10% p.a compound interest for 2 , where h1 is height of liquid level and
years h2 is height of cone.
⇒ h2 = 1.5h1
⇒ h1 + 4 = 1.5h1
⇒ h1 = 8 cm
⇒CI = a × 1.21 – a = 0.21a ∴ h2 = 12 cm
Given, plan B : 12% p.a. simple interest for 3 Total volume of liquid inside the cone
years.
Amount invested = Rs. 1540
SI = (1540 × 3 × 12)/100
⇒ Total volume of liquid inside the cone
⇒SI = Rs. 554.40
Given, interest earned in both plans is the same.
∴0.21a = 554.40
⇒a = Rs. 2640 Time in which the cone will be empty
None of these is the correct answer.

34. Ans. A
Total number of four-digit numbers that can be
formed = 4! .
If the number is divisible by 25, then the last two
digits are 25.
