21. Twelve men take 6 hours to finish a piece of work. After the 12 men have worked for 1 hour, the contractor decides to call in 8 more men. How many more hours would 20 men take to complete the remaining work?
A) 3
B) 5
C) 2
D) 4
12 men took to 6 hours to complete the work.
It means there is 12 x 6= 72 units of work
Now 12men done work for one hour. So 12 x 1 =12 units of work
completed.
Remaining work = 72-12= 60 units
Now the no of men=12+8= 20
So 60 units of work have to complete by 20 men
Therefore 60/20= 3 hours
22. A person can do the work in 10 days but another finishes the same work in 15 days, Together they can finish in how many days?
A) 5
B) 3
C) 6
D) 9
By using Flip rule:
So,
A‘s 1 day work = 1/10
B‘s 1 day work = 1/15
(A+B)‘s 1 day work =
(1/10+1/15)= (3 + 2)/30 = 5/30= 1/6
So together they can complete work in 6 days.
23. The speed of the train going from Nagpur to Allahabad is 100 km/h while when coming back from Allahabad to Nagpur, its speed is 150 km/h. Find the average speed during whole journey?
A) 125 km/hr
B) 75 km/hr
C) 135 km/hr
D) 120 km/hr
We know that:
Average Speed = (a + b)/2
= (100 +150)/2
= 125 km/h
24. The average of a group of men is increased by 5 years when a person aged of 18 years is replaced by a new person of aged 38 years. How many men are there in the group?
A) 3
B) 4
C) 5
D) 6
Let member be = x
Increased average = x*5
Given Condition:
x*5=38-18
x= 4
25. A person paid 2% commission to the property dealer when he bought a land worth Rs 6 crore and 75 lakhs. What is the amount of commission paid?
A) Rs 1350000
B) Rs 1450000
C) Rs. 1550000
D) Rs. 1250000
=2 % of 6,75,00,000
=2/100 x6,75,00,000
= Rs 1350000
26. Arif, Hafiz and Haider share Rs 2560. Hafiz‘s share is four times as much as Arif‘s and Arif‘s share is one-third of Haider‘s. How much is the share of Arif?
A) Rs. 320
B) Rs. 300
C) Rs. 310
D) None of these
Let Arif‘s shear= x
Hafiz‘s shear = 4x
Arif‘s shear is 1/3 of Haider, it means
Haider shear = 3x
Given condition:
x + 4x + 3x= 2560
8x = 2560
x = 320
So arif‘s shear = 320
27. Five years ago, the average age of A, B, C and D was 45 years with E joining them now, the average of all the five is 49 years. How old is E?
A) 25 years
B) 40 years
C) 45 years
D) 64 years
The total present age of A, B, C and D
= (45 × 4) + (4 × 5)
= 200 years
Total age present age of A, B, C, D, and E
= 49 × 5
= 245 years
So, Age of E = 45 years
28. The width of a rectangle is twice the size of its length The length is increased by 30% and width is increased by 20%, what will be the percentage change in the area of rectangle?
A) 4.51
B) 3.87
C) 5.11
D) None of these
Letthe length of rectangle as x and width as y.
y = 2x Area = xy = 2*square of x
Length increased by 30. I presume it is % increase. New X = 1.3x
Width increased by 20%. New Y= 1.2 y = 1.2*2x = 2.4x
Area of the new rectangle = XY = 1.3x * 2.4x = 3.12 * square of x
New rectangle/ old rectangle = 3.12/2.0 = 1.56
New rectangle is 56% bigger than the original rectangle in terms of
area.
29. If the 10% of daily wagers were fired while 540 workers survived. how many workers were originally there?
A) 700
B) 650
C) 580
D) 600
Let total wagers = x
We know that 10% fired while 90% survived so,
90% of x = 540
90 * x = 450
⇒ x = 600

A) 4
B) 6
C) 8
D) 9
We know that to find elements of a power set we use formula = 2n
n = number of elements, so power set is 2³ = 8

32. If A and B together can complete a piece of work in 15 days and B alone in 20 days, in how many days can A alone complete the work?
A) 60
B) 45
C) 40
D) 30
Using Flip rule:
A and B complete work in = 15 days
One day‘s work of (A + B) = 1/15
B complete the work in = 20 days;
One day‘s work of B = 1/20
Then, A‘s one day‘s work
=1/15-1/20 = ( 6-5)/60= 1/60
Thus, A can complete the work in = 60 days.
33. If 10 men can do a piece of work in 12 days, the time taken to 12 men to do the same piece of work will be?
A) 12 days
B) 10 days
C) 9 days
D) 8 days
10 men can do work = 12 days
1 men can do this work = 12 x 10 = 120 days
12 men will do this work= 120/12= 10 days
34. The sum of four consecutive two-digit odd numbers, when divided by 10, becomes a perfect square. Which of the following can possibly be one of these four numbers?
A) 21
B) 25
C) 41
D) 67
let sequence=x, x+2, x+4, x+6
sum of sequence=4x+12
if 4x+12 is a multiple of 10,
then x must have a units digit of 7
4*17+12=80; 80/10=8 no
4*27+12=120; 120/10=12 no
4*37+12=160; 160/10=16 yes
sequence=37, 39, 41, 43
35. A retailer increases the selling price by 25% due to which his profit percentage increase from 20% to 25%. What is the percentage increase in cost price?
A) 20%
B) 30%
C) 25%
D) 50%
Let,
Cost Price (CP) = Rs. 100
Profit % = 20
Selling Price (SP) = 120
When profit increases from 20% to 25%
Cost Price (CP) = y
Profit % = 25
Selling Price (SP) after 25% increase = 120 + 25% = Rs. 150
From question
y + 25 % profit = 150
1.25 y = 150
so y = 120
% change in cost price = [ (120 – 100) / 100 ] x 100 = 20%
36. The average age of A, B, C, D, and E is 40 years. The average age of A and B is 35 years and the average of C and D is 42 years. Age of E is?
A) 48
B) 46
C) 42
D) 45
Average of A, B, C, D, E:
(A+B+C+D+E )/5 = 40
A+B+C+D+E = 200 —- ( i )
Average of A & B:
(A+B)/2 = 35 ⇒ A+B=70 —–( ii )
Average of C & D:
(C+D)/2= 42 ⇒ C+D=84 —–( iii )
Adding equation ( ii ) and ( iii )
A+B+C+D= 154 —-( iv )
Putting value of equation ( iv ) into equation ( i )
154 + E = 200
E= 200-154
E = 46
37. Which number will complete the following num series: 3, 6, 15, ….. , 123, 366?
A) 34
B) 59
C) 42
D) 60
3 x 3 =9 – 3= 6
6 x 3 = 18-3 = 15
15 x 3= 45 – 3=42
42 x 3 = 126 – 3 = 123
123 x 3 = 369 – 3 = 366
38. Which number will come next? 2, 5, 12, 23, 38, 57, …..?
A) 69
B) 76
C) 80
D) None of these
2 + 3 =5
5 + 7 =12
12 +11 =23
23 + 15= 38
38 + 19 = 57
57 + 23 = 80
39.
39. A father tells his son, ―I was of your present age when you were born‖. If the father is 36 now, how old was the boy five years back if he is half the age of his father now?
A) 13 years
B) 15 years
C) 17 years
D) None of these
Let the father‘s age be x and the son‘s age be y.
Then, x – y = y or x = 2y,
Now, x = 36. So, 2y = 36 or y = 18.
Therefore Son‘s present age = 18 years.
So, son‘s age 5 years ago = 13 years
40. Slove: (1000)9÷ (10)24
A) 10000
B) 1000
C) 100
(D) None of these
= (1000)9÷ (10)24

= 1027 ÷ (10)24
= 1027-24
= 103
= 1000
