Question 1

The difference between the compound interest and the simple earned at the end of 3 rd year on a sum of money at a rate of 10% per annul is Rs. 77.5. What is the sum?

A	Rs. 3,500
B	Rs. 2,500
C	Rs. 3,000
D	Rs. 2,000

Question 1 Explanation:

Let principal be ‘x’
S.I = P T R / 100
S.I = X * 3 * 10 / 100
C.I = [ P (1 + (R / 100)^T) - P]
C.I = [ X (1+ (10 / 100)³) - X]
C.I = 331X / 1000
Difference between Compound interest and Simple interest is 77.5
( 331X / 1000 ) - ( 3X / 10) = 77.5
31x / 1000 = 77.5
x = 2500.

Question 2

Aamir and Birju can cut 5000g of wood in 20 min. Birju and Charles can cut 5000g of wood in 40 min. Charles and Aamir cut 5 kg of wood in 30 min. How much time Charles will take to cut 5 kg wood alone?

A	120 min
B	48 min
C	240 min
D	120 min

Question 2 Explanation:

Here in this question 5000g means 5kg only
So from that question Aamir (A) Birju (B) Charles (C)
Let Aamir, Birju and Charles alone can complete the work in A, B and C minutes respectively, then
1 min. work of (A+B)=1/20, (B+C)=1/40 and (C+A)=1/30
A + B + C = 13/240
1 min. work of C = (A+B+C) - (A+B) = 13/240 - 1/20 = 1/240
So C alone can complete the work in 240 min.

Question 3

An alloy contains copper and zinc in the ratio 5 : 3 and another contains copper and tin in the ratio 8 : 5, If equal weights of the two are melted together to form a 3 rd alloy, find the weight of tin per kg in the new alloy.

A	40/129
B	5/13
C	5/26
D	28/5

Question 3 Explanation:

Amount of copper in first alloy is 5x/8 and zinc is 3x/8.
Amount of copper in second alloy is 8x/13 and tin is 5x/13.
So after mixing tin is available in 2 alloy only that means in 3rd alloy 5x/13/2x
Tin present in 3rd alloy is 5/26.

Question 4

X is a whole number. If the only common factors of X and X2 are 1 and X, then X is _______

A	1
B	a perfect square
C	an odd number
D	a prime number

Question 4 Explanation:

A number that is divisible only by itself and 1 is called prime number.

Question 5

Line AB is 24 metres in length and tangent to the inner one of the two concentric circles at point C, Points A and B lie on the circumference of the outer circle. It is known that the radii of the two circles are integers. The radius of the outer circle is

A	13m
B	5 m
C	7 m
D	4m

Question 5 Explanation:

Given data,
AB=24cm
CB=12cm
θC=5cm(Assume)
θB=5 ² +12² =169
θB=13cm
Note: They forgot to mention the value 5. If we are considering value=5 then answer should be A.

Qalitiimmeo→ cakewalk
We can divide artificial language into parts.
Qali→ cake
tiimmeo→ walk
Useguamao → buttercup
We can divide artificial language into parts.
Usegu→ butter

A	D
B	E
C	R
D	O

Question 12 Explanation:

In the word DROVE we have two vowels
Those are O and E
After consonants are arranged in alphabetically we got the word like DRV
But we have two place vowels in between two pairs of consonants we got finally DEROV
So right from fourth letter is E
