1. (a) Let x kg of good quality wheat is added in 150 kg of r = 10% p.a.

wheat. n = 3 years
ATQ, Let the total amount given by man =A
95% of (150 + x) = 135 + x Now, by formula

2. (a); Original price of 250 chairs. = 3993 – 1210 – 1100 = Rs 1683

= 250 × 50 = Rs 12500 8. (b); Let the work be finished in x days.

3. (d); SP = Rs 17,940, Discount = 8% 11 2x + x + 1
∴ MP =

∵ Gain = 19.6% (Given) 16 × 11
⇒ 3x − 1 =
∴ CP =

1.196 ⇒x= days
New SP without discount = Rs 19500 9
20×30
Gain = (19500 – 15000) = Rs 4500 9. (a); Together both pipes can fill the tank in h=

4500
∴ Gain percent = × 100 = 30% 12h

4. (a); Let no. of persons buying the tickets on the three One third tank can be filled in 4 h.
days are 2x, 5x 13x respectively. Now, there is a leak which can empty the tank in
∴ NO. of total tickets bought = 20x 12 × 4 h = 48h
then from question. So, two-third tank can be filled in
Total cost of tickets 2 12 × 48 2
× h = 10 h
= 15 × 2x + 7.5 × 5x + 2.5 × 13x 3 40 − 12 3
2 2
= (30 + 37.5 + 32.5)x So, total time to fill the mark = 4 + 10 = 14 h.
3 3
= 100.0 x 10. (c); Let two train meet at a distance x from Delhi
= Rs 100x then x = 60 × t1 (Mumbai express)
∴ average cost of ticket per person = 100x/20x = Rs 5 also, x = 80 × (t1 − 2) (Rajdhani express)
5. (d)Let weight of diamond =x ⇒ 60 t1 = 80 t1 − 160
∴ From question, or, 20 t1 = 160
Initial cost of diamond = kx2 or, t1 = 8h
where k = constant ∴ Required distance x = 60 × t1
Let the weights of 4 pieces be y, 2y, 3y, 4y respectively, = 60 × 8
∴ x = y + 2y + 3y + 4y = 480 km
x = 10y … … … . (i) 11. (d); Let the speed of current be x m/min.
again, from question, Then, speed with current = 48 + x m/min
ky 2 + k 2y 2 + k 3y 2 + k 4y 2 = 140000 & Speed against the current = 48 − x km/h
30 ky 2 = 140000 ATQ,
x2
30k = 140000 …(ii) 200 200
100 ⇒ − = 10
140000 × 100 48 − x 48 + x
kx 2 = ⇒ 40x = 48 − x 2 2
30
kx 2 = Rs 4.7 lakh(approx. ) ⇒ x 2 + 40x − 2304 = 0
6. (b) X’s investment = (700 × 3) ⇒ x + 72 x − 32 = 0
5 3 ⇒ x = 32 m/min
+ 700 × × 3 + 500 + 200 × × 6 1 3 5 997

Y’s investment = 600 × 12 = Rs 7200 = × × ×. . =

∴ X’s share from profit 13. (b); in the denominator of question then the solution is
7320 100 0.003 2 + 0.021 2 + 0.0065 2
= × 726 = Rs 366 = 10
7320 + 7200 0.003 2 + 0.021 2 + 0.0065 2
7. (b); Given 14. (d) r = 10 cm
P =Rs 3000 h = 48 cm
