b. Rs. 13, Rs. 17
c. Rs. 15, Rs. 14
d. Rs. 17, Rs. 13
Answer- Rs. 13, Rs. 17
Explanation- Let Rs. x be the fare of city B from city A and Rs. y be the fare of city C from city A. Then, 2x + 3y = 77 ...(i) and 3x + 2y = 73 ...(ii) Multiplying (i) by 3 and (ii) by 2 and subtracting, we get: 5y = 85 or y = 17. Putting y = 17 in (i), we get: x = 13.

Que- A woman says, "If you reverse my own age, the figures represent my husband's age. He is, of course, senior to me and the difference between our ages is one-eleventh of their sum." The woman's age is
a. 23 years
b. 34 years
c. 45 years
d. None of these
Answer- 45 years
Explanation- Let x and y be the ten's and unit's digits respectively of the numeral denoting the woman's age. Then, woman's age = (10X + y) years; husband's age = (10y + x) years. Therefore (10y + x)- (10X + y) = (1/11) (10y + x + 10x + y) ⇔ (9y-9x) = (1/11)(11y + 11x) = (x + y) ⇔ 10x = 8y ⇔ x = (4/5)y Clearly, y should be a single-digit multiple of 5, which is 5. So, x = 4, y = 5. Hence, woman's age = 10x + y = 45 years.
Que- A girl counted in the following way on the fingers of her left hand : She started by calling the thumb 1, the index finger 2, middle finger 3, ring finger 4, little finger 5 and then reversed direction calling the ring finger 6, middle finger 7 and so on. She counted upto 1994. She ended counting on which finger ?
a. Thumb
b. Index finger
c. Middle finger
d. Ring finger
Answer- Index finger
Explanation- Clearly, while counting, the numbers associated to the thumb will be : 1, 9,17, 25,..... i.e. numbers of the form (8n + 1). Since 1994 = 249 x 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index finger.
Que- A man has Rs. 480 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?
a. 45
b. 60
c. 75
d. 90
Answer- 90
Explanation- Let number of notes of each denomination be x. Then, x + 5x + 10x = 480 ⇔ 16x = 480 ⇔ x = 30. Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 90.
Que- In a garden, there are 10 rows and 12 columns of mango trees. The distance between the two trees is 2 metres and a distance of one metre is left from all sides of the boundary of the garden. The length of the garden is
a. 20 m
b. 22 m
c. 24 m
d. 26 m
Answer- 24 m
Explanation- Each row contains 12 plants. There are 11 gapes between the two corner trees (11 x 2) metres and 1 metre on each side is left. Therefore Length = (22 + 2) m = 24 m.
Que- In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class ?
a. 20
b. 25
c. 30
d. Data inadequate
Answer- 30
Explanation- Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively. Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5. So, number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10. Number of students not participating in sports = 60 - (15 + 10) = 35. Let number of boys not participating in sports be y. Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 -y). Therefore (35 - y) = y + 5 ⇔ 2y ⇔ 30 ⇔ y = 15. So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 - 15) = 20. Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30.
Que- There are deer and peacocks in a zoo. By counting heads they are 80. The number of their legs is 200. How many peacocks are there ?
a. 20
b. 30

Answer- 60
Explanation- Let x and y be the number of deer and peacocks in the zoo respectively. Then, x + y = 80 ...(i) and 4x + 2y = 200 or 2x + y = 100 ...(ii) Solving (i) and (ii), we get) x = 20, y = 60.

Que- Mac has £ 3 more than Ken, but then Ken wins on the horses and trebles his money, so that he now has £ 2 more than the original amount of money that the two boys had between them. How much money did Mac and Ken have between them before Ken's win ?
a. £ 9
b. £ 11
c. £ 13
d. £ 15
Answer- £ 13
Explanation- Let money with Ken = x. Then, money with Mac = x + £ 3. Now, 3x = (x + x + £ 3) + £ 2 ⇔ x = £ 5. Therefore Total money with Mac and Ken = 2x + £ 3 = £ 13.

a. 28
b. 29
c. 31
d. 35
Answer- 28
Explanation- Clearly, we have : A = B - 3 ...(i) D + 5 = E ...(ii) A+C = 2E ...(iii) B + D = A+C = 2E ...(iv) A+B + C + D + E=150 ...(v) From (iii), (iv) and (v), we get: 5E = 150 or E = 30. Putting E = 30 in (ii), we get: D = 25. Putting E = 30 and D = 25 in (iv), we get: B = 35. Putting B = 35 in (i), we get: A = 32. Putting A = 32 and E = 30 in (iii), we get: C = 28.

c. 60% of the total members own at least two cars each.
d. 80% of the total members own at least one car.
Answer- 48% of the total members own only one car each.
Explanation- Let total number of members be 100, Then, number of members owning only 2 cars = 20. Number of members owning 3 cars = 40% of 80 = 32. Number of members owning only 1 car = 100 - (20 + 32) = 48. Thus, 48% of the total members own one car each.
Que- Ravi's brother is 3 years senior to him. His father was 28 years of age when his sister was born while his mother was 26 years of age when he was born. If his sister was 4 years of age when his brother was born, what were the ages of Ravi's father and mother respectively when his brother was born ?
a. 32 years, 23 years
b. 32 years, 29 years
c. 35 years, 29 years
d. 35 years, 33 years
Answer- 32 years, 23 years
Explanation- When Ravi's brother was born, let Ravi's father's age = x years and mother's age = y years. Then, sister's age = (x - 28) years. So, x - 28 = 4 or x = 32. Ravi's age = (y - 26) years. Age of Ravi's brother = (y - 26 + 3) years = (y - 23) years. Now, when Ravi's brother was born, his age = 0 i.e. y - 23 = 0 or y = 23.

Que- In a cricket match, five batsmen A, B, C, D and E scored an average of 36 runs. D Scored 5 more than E; E scored 8 fewer than A; B scored as many as D and E combined; and B and C scored 107 between them. How many runs did E score ?
a. 62
b. 45
c. 28
d. 20
Answer- 20
Explanation- Total runs scored = (36 x 5) = 180. Let the runs scored by E be x. Then, runs scored by D = x + 5; runs scored by A = x + 8; runs scored by B = x + x + 5 = 2x + 5; runs scored by C = (107 - B) = 107 - (2x + 5) = 102 - 2x. So, total runs = (x + 8) + (2x + 5) + (102 - 2x) + (x + 5) + x = 3x + 120. Therefore 3x + 120 =180 ⇔ 3X = 60 ⇔ x = 20.

a. 23 years
b. 25 years
c. 33 years
d. 35 years
Answer- 23 years
Explanation- Ayush's present age = 10 years. His mother's present age = (10 + 20) years = 30 years. Ayush's father's present age = (30 + 5) years = 35 years. Ayush's father's age at the time of Ayush's birth = (35 - 10) years = 25 years. Therefore Ayush's father's age at the time of marriage = (25 - 2) years = 23 years.

a. 40 years
b. 45 years
c. 50 years
d. 60 years
Answer- 60 years
Explanation- Let the daughter's age be x years. Then, father's age = (3x) years. Mother's age = (3x - 9) years; Son's age = (x + 7) years. So, x + 7 = (3x-9)/2 ⇔ 2x + 14 = 3x - 9 ⇔ x = 23. Therefore Mother's age = (3X - 9) = (69 - 9) years = 60 years.
Que- A player holds 13 cards of four suits, of which seven are black and six are red. There are twice as many diamonds as spades and twice as many hearts as diamonds. How many clubs does he hold ?
a. 4
b. 5
c. 6
d. 7
Answer- 6
Explanation- Clearly, the black cards are either clubs or spades while the red cards are either diamonds or hearts. Let the number of spades be x. Then, number of clubs = (7 - x). Number of diamonds = 2 x number of spades = 2x; Number of hearts = 2 x number of diamonds = 4x. Total number of cards = x + 2x + 4x + 7 - x = 6x + 7. Therefore 6x + 7 = 13 ⇔ 6x = 6 ⇔ x - 1. Hence, number of clubs = (7 - x) = 6.
Que- The taxi charges in a city comprise of a fixed charge, together with the charge of the distance covered. For a journey of 16 km, the charges paid are Rs. 156 and for a journey of 24 km, the charges paid are Rs. 204. What will a person have to pay for travelling a distance of 30 km?
a. Rs. 236
b. Rs. 240
c. Rs. 248
d. Rs. 252
Answer- Rs. 240
Explanation- Let the fixed charge be Rs. x and variable charge be Rs.y per km. Then, x + 16y = 156 ...(i) and x + 24y = 204 ...(ii) Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60, y = 6. Therefore Cost of travelling 30 km = 60 + 30 y = Rs. (60 + 30 x 6) = Rs. 240.

a. 328
b. 348
c. 358
d. Data inadequate
Answer- 358
Explanation- Let the total number of sweets be (25x + 8). Then, (25x + 8) - 22 is divisible by 28 ⇔ (25x - 14) is divisible by 28 ⇔ 28x - (3x + 14) is divisible by 28 ⇔ (3x + 14) is divisible by 28 ⇔ x = 14. Therefore Total number of sweets = (25 x 14 + 8) = 358.

a. 4 p.m.
b. 5 p.m.
c. 6 p.m.

Answer- 6 p.m.
Explanation- Net ascent of the monkey in 1 hour = (30 - 20) feet = 10 feet. So, the monkey ascends 90 feet in 9 hours i.e. till 5 p.m. Clearly, in the next 1 hour i.e. till 6 p.m. the monkey ascends remaining 30 feet to touch the flag.
Que- A number consists of two digits whose sum is 11. If 27 is added to the number, then the digits change their places. What is the number ?
a. 47
b. 65
c. 83
d. 92
Answer- 47
Explanation- Let the ten's digit be x. Then, unit's digit = (11 - x). So, number = 10x + (11 - x) = 9x + 11. Therefore (9x + 11) + 27 = 10 (11 - x) + x ⇔ 9x + 38 = 110 - 9x ⇔ 18x = 72 ⇔ x = 4. Thus, ten's digit = 4 and unit's digit = 7. Hence, required number = 47.
