ANSWER KEYS and SOLUTIONS:

1) – E)	2) – D)	3) – B)	4) – B)	5) – C)	6) – C)
7) – B)	8) – D)	9) – A)	10) – A)	11) – D)	12) – E)
13) – A)	14) – C)	15) – E)

Solution 1: E)

{(1.99)²}² + 7.97² = ? × 2.01 × 3.97

{(2)²}² + 8² ~ ? × 2 × 4

(2)⁴ + 8² ~ ? × 8

16 + 64 ~ ? × 8

? ~ 80 ÷ 8

? ~ 10

Hence, option e.

Solution 2: D)

5.02 × 17.11 + 24.97% of 499.99 = ? – 99.99

5 × 17 + 25% of 500 ~ ? – 100

85 + 0.25 × 500 ~ ? – 100

85 + 125 + 100 ~ ?

? ~ 310

Hence, option d.

Solution 3: B)

18.99 + 210.96 + (23.95 × 4.87) = ?

19 + 211 + (24 × 5) ~ ?

230 + 120 ~ ?

? ~ 350

Hence, option b.

Solution 4: B)

From I:

x²– 21x + 90 = 0

x² – 6x – 15x + 90 = 0

x(x – 6) – 15(x – 6) = 0

(x – 6)(x – 15) = 0

x = 6, 15

From II:

y² – 23y + 112 = 0

y² – 16y – 7y + 112 = 0

y(y – 16) – 7(y – 16) = 0

(y – 16)(y – 7) = 0

y = 7, 16

So, the relationship cannot be established

Hence, option b.

Solution 5: C)

From I:

x² – 23x + 120 = 0

x² – 8x – 15x + 120 = 0

x(x – 8) – 15(x – 8) = 0

(x – 8)(x – 15) = 0

x = 8, 15

From II:

y² – 13y + 40 = 0

y² – 8y – 5y + 40 = 0

y(y – 8) – 5(y – 8) = 0

(y – 8)(y – 5) = 0

y = 8, 5

Hence, option c.

Solution 6: C)

Let the present age of A and B be x years and y years respectively

According to the question,

x + 8 = 2y

Or, 2y – x = 8 …. (1)

Also,

y + 8 = 0.875x

Or, 0.875x – y = 8 …. (2)

On solving equation 1 & 2

x = 32 years and y = 20 years

Required difference = 32 – 20 = 12 years.

Hence, option c.

Solution 7: B)

Total number of people who visited Manali = 992/0.4 = 2480

Hence, option b.

Solution 8: D)

In the initial mixture, 25% of Liquid A is present

Therefore, ratio of liquid A and B in the initial mixture is 1:3, respectively.

The addition of the liquid A and B are also in the ratio 1:3, respectively.

Therefore, final percentage of Liquid A in the mixture will remain 25%.

Hence, option d.

Solution 9: A)

Let the cost price of the article be Rs. x

Given, 1.2x = 960

Or, x = 960/1.2 = Rs. 800

Profit percent when selling price is Rs. 1080

Profit percent = {(1080 – 800)/800} × 100 = 35%

Hence, option a.

Solution 10: A)

Time taken by the car to travel 1012 km = 9 hours + (12/60) hours = 9.2 hours

Speed of car = 1012/9.2 = 110 km/h

Speed of bus = 110/2.75 = 40 km/h

Time taken by the bus = 5 hours + (36/60) hours = 5.6 hours

Desired distance = 40 × 5.6 = 224 km

Hence, option a.

Solution 11: D)

12 + 3³ = 39

39 + 4² = 55

55 + 5³ = 180

180 + 6² = 216

216 + 7³ = 559

Hence, option d.

Solution 12: E)

Therefore, 123 should come in place of 120.

Hence, option e.

Solution 13: A)

√(15 × 16 – 15) + √? = 20% of 120

√(240 – 15) + √? = 24

√225 + √? = 24

√? = 24 – 15 = 9

? = 9² = 81

Hence, option a.

Solution 14: C)

(3/4) × (45/9) × (48/15) + (? ÷ 12) = 24

12 + (? ÷ 12) = 24

(? ÷ 12) = 12

? = 144

Hence, option c.

Solution 15: E)

18 of 20 of 2 – 12 of 3 of 5 = ? × 36

720 – 180 = ? × 36

? × 36 = 540

? = 540 ÷ 36

? = 15

Hence, option e.
