Question 1: A can complete a work alone in 25 days while B can complete the same work alone in 10 days. A started doing the work but after 5 days he is replaced by B who completed the remaining work. In how many days the work got completed?
a. 13 days
b. 12 days
c. 15 days
d. 10 days
e. 18 days
Answer: a
Solution:
Let the total work = 50 units (L.C.M of 25 and 10)
Efficiency of A = 50/25 = 2 units/day
Efficiency of B = 50/10 = 5 units/day
Amount of work done by A in 5 days = 2 × 5 = 10 units
Remaining work = 50 – 10 = 40 units
Time taken by B to complete the remaining work = 40/5 = 8 days
Total number of days = 8 + 5 = 13 days
Hence, option a.

Question 2: The ratio of length of train A to train B is 5:4. Train A and B can cross a man in 30 seconds and 20 seconds respectively. Find the speed of the train B if the speed of train A is 72 km/h.
a. 82.4 km/h
b. 86.4 km/h
c. 80.4 km/h
d. 92.4 km/h
e. 75.4 km/h
Answer: b
Solution:
Length of train A = 72 × 5/18 × 30 = 600
Length of train A = 600 m
Length of train B = 4/5 × 600 = 480 m
Speed of train B = 480/20 × 18/5 = 86.4 km/h
Hence, option b.

Question 3: A boat takes twice as much time to row a certain distance upstream as to row the same distance downstream. If the speed of the stream is 6 km/h, then find the time taken by it to row 108 km downstream and 42 km upstream.
a. 6 hours
b. 8 hours
c. 7.5 hours
d. 5.5 hours
e. 10 hours
Answer: b
Solution:
Let the speed of the boats in still water = x km/h
According to question: Downstream speed of the boat = 2 × upstream speed of the boat
x + 6 = 2 × (x – 6)
x + 6 = 2x – 12
x = 18
Time taken by the boat to cover 108 km downstream and 42 km upstream = 108/(18 + 6) + 42/(18 – 6)
= 4.5 + 3.5 = 8 hours
Hence, option b.

Question 4: A shopkeeper sold an article at two successive discounts of 20% and 25% respectively. If the article is sold at 20% profit, then by how much percent the article was marked up above its cost price?
a. 80%
b. 100%
c. 120%
d. 50%
e. 200%
Answer: b
Solution:
Let the marked price of the article be Rs. x
Therefore, selling price of the article = 0.75 × 0.80x = Rs. 0.6x
Cost price of the article = (0.6x/1.2) = Rs. 0.5x
Required percentage = {(x – 0.5x)/0.5x} × 100 = 100%
Hence, option b.

Question 5: Find the sum of all the numbers between 128 and 624, which are divisible by ‘9’ as well as’8’.
a. 2380
b. 2240
c. 2520
d. 2680
e. 2420
Answer: c
Solution:
Numbers which are divisible by ‘9’ as well as ‘8’, must be divisible by 72.
So, numbers between 128 and 624 which are divisible by 72 are:
144, 216, ……….., 576
So, number of terms between 128 and 624 which are divisible by 72 = n = {576 – 144}/72 + 1 = 7
Desired sum = (7/2) × {144 + 576} = 7 × 360 = 2520
Hence, option c.

Question 8: The income of A is Rs. 5000 more than that of B, while the expenditure of A is Rs. 5000 less than that of B. If the savings of A and B is Rs. 20,000 and Rs. 10,000 respectively, then find the income of A.
a. Rs. 35000
b. Rs. 38000
c. Rs. 45000
d. Rs. 50000
e. cannot be determined
Answer: e
Solution:
Let the income of A be Rs. x
Therefore, income of B = Rs. (x – 5000)
Let the expenditure of A be Rs. y
Therefore, expenditure of B = Rs. (y + 5000)
According to the question,
x – y = 20000……. (1)
And, x – 5000 – y – 5000 = 10000
Or, x – y = 20000…. (2)
Therefore, income of A cannot be determined.
Hence, option e.
