ANSWERS :

Ans 1 to Ans 7 : There are two statement from where we can

start solving the question.
The engineer's statement about numbers has to be true and the
sportsman statement about his speed is not correct as the
speed should be 100/15 mt per second.
So the engineers statement about Lawyer is not correct, which
means lawyer won his last case. If the lawyer won the last case
he is not telling correct about the doctor. The engineer has made
correct statement about the lawyer & the engineer but a wrong
statement about the doctor.
Now looking at the Sportsman statement about the doctor, it has
to be true as his other statement about his speed is not correct.
Which implies that the CA's statement about the doctor's and
lawyer is not correct and so from his other statement we can be
sure that the Doctor and the Engineer are sibling.
So doctor's statement about engineers is correct and his other
statement is wrong.

The correct Statements are :

Doctor: The Engineer is my brother.
Lawyer: I won my last case in the court.
Engineer: Cube of 3 is less than 5 times the square of 3.
MBA: The Engineer is telling a Lie about the Lawyer.
CA: The Doctor and the engineer are siblings.
Sportsman: The doctor is a gynaecologist and is my Wife .

The False statements are :

Doctor: The lawyer is my brother.
Lawyer: The doctor is a surgeon also.
Engineer: The lawyer lost his last case.
MBA: The doctor and the lawyers are brother.
CA: The doctor is Lawyer's wife.
Sportsman: If I run 100 mt is 15 second my speed is 15/100 mt
per second.
Ans 1. As is clear from above mentioned explanation, The doctor
is the sportsman's wife and the engineer is the brother of doctor.
So the engineer is the brother-in-law of the sportsman.
Ans 2. Data insufficient to provide this answer.
Ans 3. Only Statement D is correct.
Ans 4. Only Statement D is false.
Ans 5. The sportsman is the spouse of the doctor.
Ans 6. Only the sportsman did not lie about the doctor.
Ans 7. Only the MBA did not lie about the Lawyer.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/urpercentile/

Ans 8 to 13 : As both statement by Frank were true, we can

conclude that Frank is a lawyer and Babu is businessman. As
Babu is businessman Ajay's statement about Babu has to be
correct and Babu's statement about himself is false. So Ajay is
telling lie about himself and Babu is telling truth about Esha.
Esha is telling a Lie about Ajay. Deepak is lying about Frank and
telling correct about Chetna. Chetna is lying about herself and
telling truth about Ajay.

So we get the correct statements as :

Babu is businessman.
Esha is a doctor.
Ajay is a cricket Player.
Chetna is Teacher.
Esha is a doctor.
Frank is a lawyer.
As only Deepak is left and the only profession left is Pilot,
Deepak is a Pilot.

Ans 8. As is clear from above mentioned explanation, Ajay is

cricket Player.
Ans 9. As the teacher is married to Pilot we can conclude that
Chetna is married to Deepak so Esha must be married to cricket
player who is Ajay.
Ans 10. The two unmarried person are Frank and Babu and they
are brothers.
Ans 11. It is given that the two unmarried persons are brother of
Esha, and Esha is married to Ajay. So Frank is brother-in-law of
Ajay.
Ans 12. Deepak is Pilot and Esha is the doctor. Esha is married
to Ajay. It is given that the two married males are brothers. So
Deepak and Ajay are brothers. So Esha is Sister-in-law of
Deepak.
Ans 13. Esha is doctor and Ajay is the cricket player. They are
Husband and Wife.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/urpercentile/

Ans 14. (24+25+39+26)/4= 28.5

Ans 15. The required ratio for the four parties is as follows :
Part A = 320/280=1.14
Party B = 200/175= 1.14
Part C : 39/24=1.62
Party D = 40/14= 2.85
So, Party D is the correct answer.

Ans 16. To have two-third of majority we should have 544*2/3=

362.66 or 363 or more seats.
544-363=181.
Only Channel D predicts less than 181 seats for party B.

Ans 17. Party A's Average = (280+320+300+310)/4= 302.5

Party B's average = (200+185+185+175)/4= 186.25
We notice that Channel C's result are nearest to the average
result.

ANSWERS
Ans 1. Cannot be determined by using both statement.
Sn= n(2a +(n-1)d) / 2
Tn= a + (n-1)d
STATEMENT 1 : S5 = 5(2a+4d)/2 or 5a +10d
T21= a+20d
so we get 5a+10d=a+20d or 4a-10d=0 or 2a-5d=0
STATEMENT 2: 7a+21d=a+36d or 6a-15d=0 or 2a-5d=0
From both statement we have the same equation, 2 variables
and one equation, hence cannot be solved.

Ans2. Statement 1 :T11+T10 = a+10d +a+9d or 2a+19d=48

Statement 2 : T15 +T6 = a+14d + a+5d = 2a+19d = 48
So both the statement give the same information , we have two
variable and one equation ,so cannot be solved.

Ans 3. Statement 1 : a+5d +a+6d =32 or 2a +11d =32

Statement 2 : a+ 3d +a+4d = 24 or 2a+7d = 24
Solving 1 and two we get a= 5 and d = 2
so the second term will be a+d= 7 . Hence the problem can be
solved by using both the statement.

Ans 4. Statement 1 is true for all given set of two positive

numbers.
Statement 2: A.M*HM=GM^2 so we can get the G.M from this
number.
Hence the question can be solved by using statement 2 alone.

Ans 5. Statement 1: is not sufficient to get the Area of Triangle.

Statement 2 : Also is not sufficient to get the Area of Triangle.
Combining two statement also we don't get the area of triangle.
Many people for sake of convenience would assume that the
third side is 5 , and thus assume that it is a right angle triangle.
But this is not the case here. There are infinity number of triangle
that can be formed which satisfy both the statement.

Ans 6.Statement 1 : Data is not sufficient to get an answer.

Statement 2 : Data is not sufficient to get an answer.
At first glance it would appear that there are only two equations
provided and three variables are to be found, so both statement
together will not be sufficient, but when you take a closer look
you will find :
When we add the two statement we get 6 apples + 7 mangoes +
5 bananas cost Rs 124. or 6A+7M+5B= 124.
We need to find cost of 24A+28M+20B which is equal to 4*(6A+
7M+5B) so the cost will be 4*124= 496.
Hence the question may be solved by using both the statements.

Ans 7. The answer cannot be found as there is no data given

about the ratio in which a man and a boy consume ration.
Ans 8. When we use both the statement we can solve the
problem ,
The ration is enough for 36 OR 48 boys for 10 days.
That means each man consumes 1/360 of ration per day and
each boy consume 1/480 of ration per day.
so 6 men will consume 6/360 ration per day and 4 boys will
consume 4/480 ration per day.
So in 1 day 6/360+ 4/480 ration will be consumed or 1/40 of the
ration will be consumed. Or the ration will last for 40 days .
Hence the problem can be solved by using both statement.

Ans 9. At first glance it would appear that the answer cannot be

found as the ratio in which a man and a boy eat is not given. But
when you look at the two statement closely, it will be possible to
get the answer.
You may view the question as follows : Consider a group of 9
men and 12 boys as a team. Then the question can be read as ,
the food will last for 10 days for 4 team. So if there is only one
team the food will last for 40 days.

Ans 10. Both statement individually or when combined together

cannot give any confirmed answer.
X may be be or not divisible by 9.
Take for example 60 and 45. Both satisfy the two condition, but
one is divisible by 9 other one is not.

Ans 11. Let the total distance be 100X

Time taken for first 25x = 25X/45
Time taken to cover remaining 75X = 75X/55
Total time taken = 25X/45 + 75X/55 =
LCM of 45 and 55 = 495
= 275X+675X/ 495 = 950X/495
So average speed = 100X/ ( 950X/495) = 49500/950 Km per
hour.
Hence the question can be solved by using both the statements
together.

Ans 12. The problem can be solved by using both the

statements.
Let the number of boys be X , so number of girls = 1.5X.
Total number of students= X+1.5X= 2.5X
Total marks scored by boys = 77X
Total marks scored by girls = 1.5*88*X= 132X
Total marks scored by the group = 209X
Average marks of the group = 209X/2.5X = 209/2.5
Hence combining the two statements the question can be
solved.

Ans 13. Combining the two statement we get as follows :

Statement 1 : 15 % of boys in school= 27
so total number of boys = 27*100/15= 180
Statement 2 : 55% of students are girls so 45% of them are
boys.
now 45% of total strength = 180
So 100 % = 180*100/45= 400
Hence combining the two statement we can get the total strength
of the school.

Ans 14. We can know the answer from both the statement
independently.
Statement 1 : Let the sides be X,Y and Z with X as shortest side
and Y as longest side.
X^2< (Y-Z)(Y+Z)
or X^2< Y^2-Z^2
or Y^2 > X^2+Z^2
If it is a Right angle triangle the square of the Hypotenuse ( The
Longest side) should be equal to the sum of the remaining two
side. So we can say that the given triangle is not a right angle
triangle.
Statement 2: In a right angle triangle if two angles are equal they
have to be 45 degrees each and the sum of the equal angles
has to be 90. So we can say that the given triangle is not a right
angle triangle.

Ans 15. We cannot find the answer using both the statement as
we cannot assume that A, B and C are in a same line. If you are
still not convinced, than consider D stands for Delhi, M stands
for Mumbai and K stands for Kolkata.

Ans. 16 : From both statement we can get the area of rectangle

independently.
Statement 1 : 2(120L/100+ 125B/100)= 108
and 2(L+B)=108-20 or 2(L+B)=88.
2 equations and two variable, hence can solve the equation and
get the area.
Statement 2 : (125L/100)(150B/100)=900
so L.B= (900*100*100)/ (125*150)=480.
Hence the question can be solved independently by any of the
two statements.

Ans 17. Statement 1 : The area and perimeter of square can be

numerically equal only in each side is 4 cms each. 4*side=4*4.
Once you know the side of the square the radius of the circle will
be half the size of the side.
Statement 2 : Diagonal of every square is SQRT(2) times of the
side of the square, so nothing may be inferred from this
statement.

THEORY FOR LESSON 50:

1. 1st January 0001 and every 400 years after that is a Monday.
That is 1st Jan of year 0001, 401, 801,1201,1601,2001 is
Monday.
2. An year divisible by 4 is a leap year, but century years are not
leap years unless they are divisible by 400. So 2000 is a Leap
Year but 1900, 1800, 1700 are not not leap year.
3. Odd days is the remainder obtained when the number of days
is divided by 7. Example: If it is Sunday today , after 50 days it
will
be: 50/7 gives remained 1. Add 1 day to Sunday to get answer
as Monday.
4. A non leap year has 1 odd day and a leap year has 2 odd
days.
5. A normal Century has 5 odd days and leap century has 6 odd
days.
6. January, March, May, July, Aug, Oct and December have 3 odd
days each. April, June, Sept and Nov have 2 odd days each. Feb
has 0 odd days if it is not a leap year and has 1 odd day if it is a
leap year.
6. Number of leap years between any two given years is equal to
the quotient when the difference between the two given years is
divided by 4. Example Number of Leap years between 1947 to
1901 = 1947-1901= 46. 46 /4 = 11.5. So number of leap years=
11.

========================================
ANSWERS OF LESSON P1049

Ans 1. A's age is two-third the of age of B : A= 2B/3 or B= 3A/2 ...i

Two years back C was twice as old as A : 2(A-2)= C-2 or C= 2A-
2.... ii
Two years total age of the three was 28 years : A-2+B-2+C-2=28
or
A+B+C= 34... iii
Putting value of B and C from (i) and (ii) in (iii)
We get A+ 3A/2 + 2A-2= 34
or 9A/2= 36 so A = 8
putting value of A in (i), we get B= 12.
Putting value of A in (ii) we get C= 14.
Five years from now the total age will be 8+12+14+5+5+5= 49

Ans 2. We get 2(A-3)=C-3 or C=2A-3

B+6 = 120(A+6)/100 or B= (6A+6)/5
A+B+C=36 ...(a)
Substituting the value of B and C in (a)
A+(6A+6)/5 + 2A-3 =36
= 5A+6A+6+10A-15=180
solving it we get A=9
B= (9*6+6)/5 = 12
and C= 9*2-3= 15

Ans3 B's age is half the age of A and C combined: A+C=2B...i

8 years from now A's age will be 75% of C's age : A+8= 3(C+8)/4
or 4A+32=3C+24 or 4A-3C= 40...ii
8 years from now their total age will be 84: A+8+b+8+C+8=84
so A+B+C=60...iii
Solving i,ii,iii we get A=16,B=20, C=24
so C is the eldest one, 8 years older to A.

Ans 4. 3B= A+B+C or 2B=A+C...i

B+10 = 120(A=10)/100...ii
A+10+B+10+C+10= 90 or A+B+C=60...iii
Solving i,ii,iii we get A= 15, B= 20, C= 25.
So C is the eldest one, by 10 years.

Ans 5. A-4= 75(C-4)/100 or 4A-16= 3C-12 or C= (4A-4)/3...i

A+6= 87.5(B+6)/100 or 8A+48= 7B +42 or B= (8A+6)/7...ii
A+B+C= 76...iii
Putting value from i and ii in iii
A+ (8A+6)/7 + (4A-4)/3 = 76
solving it we get A=22
Put the value of A in i and ii to get B= 26 and C= 28.

Ans 6.
4 year back B's age was 5 years more than half the combined
age of A and C : (B-4)-5= (A-4+C-4)/2 or A-2B+C= -10....i
8 years from now A's age will be 4 years less than the half the
combined age of B and C : (A+8)+4 = (B+8+C+8)/2 or 2A+8 =B+
C 0r 2A-B-C= -8...ii
Total age after 8 years : A+8+B+8+C+8= 104 or A+B+C= 80...iii
adding ii and iii 3A= 72 so A= 24

Ans 7. A+B+C-15= K^2 +K/2....i

A+B+C+6= (K+1)^2+ K....ii
Subtracting ii from i we get
-21= K^2+K/2 -(K+1)^2-K
or -21= K^2+K/2-K^2-1-2K-K
solving we get K=8
putting value of K in i
A+B+C-15= 64+4
so A+B+C= 83

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/urpercentile/

Ans 8. Let A+B+C= XY ....(i)where X is tens digit and Y is Units

digit. It is given that the sum is less than 100.
6 years before : A-6+B-6+C-6= YX
or A+B+C-18=YX.....(ii)
subtract the two equation we get XY-YX= 18
both XY and YX are even numbers so X and Y are both even
number.
so the only possible numbers are 24,46 and 68.
But as the combined age of any two is more than 50 we are left
with only one option YX=68 so XY= 86
Note: When you reverse a two digit number (XY) and subtract it
with the original number ( YX-XY) you always get the answer as
9*(X-Y) that is to say you always get the result as multiple of 9.

Ans 9 : 7 years back : B-7 = 125(C-7)/100 or 4(B-7)= 5(C-7) or

C= (4B+7)/5..i
B's current age : B= 90A/100 = 9A/10...ii
7 year from now : A+7+B+7+C+7= 101 or A+B+C=80...iii
Put value of C from i in iii
A+B+ (4B+7)/5 = 80
or 5A+5B+4B+7=400
5A+9B=393...iv
Put value of B from ii in iv
5A+ 81A/10=393
50A+81A=3930
or A=30

Ans 10. C=3B/4..i

8 year back : A-8 = 120(B-8)/100 or 5(A-8)=6(B-8) or B= (8+5A)/
6...ii
5 year from now : A+5+B+5+C+5 =96 or A+B+C=81....iii
Putting value from i and ii in iii
A+ (8+5A)/6 + (3/4)*((8+5A)/6) =81
solving it we get A= 32
B= (8+32*5)/6 = 28
C= 3*28/4 = 21
So A is the eldest by 11 years to C.

Ans 11 : 6 years back A-6:B-6:C-6 = 3:2:1 ...i

The present ratio : A:B:C = 7:5:3.....ii
From i we have (A-6)/(B-6)= 3/2 or 2A-3B= -6...iii
From ii we have A/B=7/5 or 5A-7B=0...iv
solving iii and iv we get A=42 and B=30
putting value of A and B in ii we get C=18
16 years from now : 42+16:30+16:18+16
58:46:34 = 29:23:17

Ans 12.
Equation 1: B-7= 2(C-7)
Equation 2 : A+8 = 2(B-7)
Equation 3 : A+B+C=97
Solve the above equations to get, A is 44 year old, B is 33 and C
is 20.

Ans 13. A:B:C = 13:10:6 or A/B=13/10 0r 10A-13B=0...i

9 years from now : A+9:B+9:C+9 = 16:13:9
or 13(A+9)= 16(B+9) = 13A-16B=27....ii
solving the two equations we get A= 39 and B=30
put the value of A and B in i to get C=18.
Total age 5 years back = 39+30+18-15= 72

Ans 14. A+B+C-18= K^2....i

A+B+C= KK ( KK = 10K+K=11K) so A+B+C= 11K....ii
subtracting ii from i we get
-18= K^2-11K
or K^2-11K+18=0
K^2-9K-2K+18=0
(K-9)*(K-2)=0
so K=9 or 2
As K =2 is not possible K=9
so A+B+C=99...iii
Now A= 16+B or B= A-16...iv
and A= 29+C or C=A-29....v
putting value of iv and v in iii
A+ A-16+A-29=99
A= 48
B=48-16=32
C=48-29=19

Ans 15. 6 years back : (A-6)-1= (A-6+B-6+C-6)/2 or A-B-C= -4

8 years from now : (A+8)+6= (A+8+B+8+C+8)/2 or A-B-C= -4
Current : A+2= (A+B+C)/2 or A-B-C= -4
All the three statements provide the same information . Data
given is not sufficient to solve the equation..

Ans 16. A:B:C=12:17:11

or A/B= 12/17 or B= 17A/12... i
similarly A/C = 12/11 or C= 11A/12....ii
8 year back : (B-8) +2 = (A+B+C-24)/2
or B-6 = (A+B+C)/2-12 or 2(B+6)= A+B+C or A-B+C=12...iii
putting value from i and ii in iii
A- 17A/12 +11A/12 =12
or 12A-17A+11A=144
so A= 24

Ans 17. A-1= (A+B+C)/3 or 2A-B-C=3...i

C+2= (A+B+C)/3 or A+B-2C=6....ii
adding i and ii 3A-3C=9 or A-C=3....iii
11 years back : 4(A-11)= 5(C-11) or 4A-5C= -11....iv
solving iii and iv we get C= 23
