5) If the average speed of Train X increases by 10% then when will it reach to its destination?
A) 9:45 am B) 6:45 am C) 8:45 am D) 5:45 am
Solutions
1). A

Required percentage = 100/270 × 100 = 37.03%

2). A
Speed of Train X = 1280 / 5 pm – 10:20 am =
1280 / 17 hours 20 minutes
= 1280 x 3 / 52 = 73.84kmph
Speed of train Y = 1280 / 6:00 pm - 12:00 noon
= 1280/18 hours = 71.11kmph
So, difference between the speed of train A and train B = 73.84- 71.11 = 2.73kmph
3).B
Total passengers in train X = 400 + 100 + 90 + 300 + 150 = 1040
Total passengers in train Y = 300 + 150 + 270 + 50 + 100 = 870
Required ratio = 1040: 870 = 104: 87
4).C
Total income of train X = (400 × 50) + (500 × 70) + (590 × 280) + (890 × 100) + (1040 × 120) =
Rs.434000
Total income of train Y = (300 × 120) + (450 × 100) + (720 × 280) + (770 × 70) + (870 × 50) =
Rs.380000
Required % = 434000 x 100 / 340000
= 114.21%
5).C
If the average speed of train X increases by 10% then its new speed = 73.84 × 110/100 = 81.22kmph
Time taken by train X during the journey = 1280/81.22 = 15.75 hours = 15 hours 45 minutes
The time when the train will reach its destination = 5 pm + 15 hours 45 minutes = 8:45 am

10). If the distance between Pune to Goa is 150km less than the Jaipur to Goa Then what will be the
approximate time taken to travel Pune from Goa?
A) 7.5hr B) 4hr C) 3hr D) 1hr
Solutions
6) A
Total time taken to travel form Mumbai to Pune = 8 hrs
Due to halt 20mins for every 2hrs = 9 hrs to complete the journey
Distance between Mumbai to Pune= 950 + 450 = 1400
Speed = 1400 / 9
= 155.5 km/hr
7) B
Total distance travelled by train from all the station = 1114 * 5 =5570
Remaining Distance = 5570- 2100=3470
8) C
Speed of the train is not mentioned from Mumbai to Delhi.
So we cannot find average speed.
9) D
Average time taken=12+8 =20/2=10
Time taken to travel Jaipur to Goa=10 – 5 =5
Speed = 1150/5 = 230 km/hr
10) A

15). Find the ratio of the speed between C and E?
A) 19:10 B) 17:15 C) 20:22 D) 15:18
Solutions
11) A
Distance travelled by A=2400*45/360 = 300Km

Distance travelled by C = 2400*57/360 = 380Km

Distance travelled by E = 2400*93/360 = 620
Distance travelled by B and D = 2400-(300+380+620)
= 1100Km
Distance travelled by B = 1100*7/11 = 700Km
Distance travelled by D = 1100*4/11 = 400Km
Time taken by B = 300/60+3 = 8hr
Speed of B = 700/8 =87.5Km/hr
12) B
Average Speed = Total Distance/Total Time
= 1000/13 = 76.92Km/hr
13) C
Time is taken by E to cover the distance of 384 km with the speed of x = Time taken by E to cover the
distance of 324 km with the speed of 15 m/s.
384/x = 324*5/(15*18)
X = 64Km/hr
14) D
C’s Speed = 2400*57/(360*4)
= 95Km/hr
Speed of D = 95-55 = 40 km/h
So the speed is 40 km/h
Time = 250/40
=6.25hr
15) A
C’s Speed = 2400*57/(360*4)
= 95Km/hr
E’s Speed = 50Km/hr
Ratio= 95/50=19:10

votes of Q in JAN constitutes what percent of the total number of votes in the same month?
A) 30 B) 20 C) 50 D) 80
Solutions
16). A
38% of 1000 = 380
Valid votes of Q = 100
valid votes of P = 380 – 100 = 280
= 280:100
= 14:5
17). B
50% of 500 = 250
= 500 + 250 = 750
16% of 750 = 120
18). C
Number of valid votes in FEB and MAY = 1270
MAY =40% of 2500 = 1000
1270 – 1000 = 270

(270/500)*100 = 54%
19). D
A = Valid Votes; B= Total Votes
(1/6)*A = 15
A = 900
60% of B = 900
B = 1500

ratio of profits by B and C in selling V.
A) 6: 15 B) 9: 14 C) 8: 15 D) 6: 13
25). Ratio of discounts on article IV by stores A and B is 2/3. Difference in SP of article IV by stores
A and C is Rs 432. If SP of article IV by store A is Rs 216 more than that by store B, find the SP of
article IV by store C?
A) Rs 2138 B) Rs 2687 C) Rs 2736 D) Rs 2522
Solutions
21) C

SP by store A = (100-28)/100 * MP = 72% of MP, by B = 82% of MP, by C =

60% of MP
(72+82+60)/3 * MP/100 = 2568
MP = Rs 3600
22) D
Difference in SP = 93% of MP – 84% of MP
9% of MP = 486; MP = 5400
So SP by store C = 76% of 5400 = Rs 4104
23) C
Let x% discount by store B
So [84 + (100-x)]/(2*100) * MP = 3608
And [70 + (100-x)]/(2*100) * MP = 3300
Put value of (100-x) from 1 equation to another and solve for MP
MP = Rs 4400
So SP by store C = 70/100 * 4400 = Rs 3080
24) B
MP = x
SP by A = 88% of x
CP by A = 100/110 * 88/100 *x = 4x/5
SP by B = 89x/100, so profit of B = 89x/100 – 4x/5 = 9x/100
SP by C = 94x/100, so profit of B = 94x/100 – 4x/5 = 14x/100
Required ratio = 9: 14
25) C
X/18 = 2/3
So discount by A = 12%
88% of MP = 82% of MP + 216
MP = Rs 3600
Let y% discount by store C
[88 – (100-Y)]/100 * MP = 432
MP = Rs 3600
Y = 24%
So SP by C = 76% of 3600 = Rs 2736

(approximately) has the actual expenditure exceeded the estimated expenditure?
A) 39 B) 29 C) 19 D) 9
Solutions
26) C
Total expenditure = 52.1+267.5+196.4+209.5 = 725.5lakhs.
The expenditure reduced each year will be (25.5/4) = 6.375lakhs.
Percentage reduce for 1989 would be = (6.375/15) × 100 = 42.5%.
27) B
Costs of material and labour
1988 = 2.1
1989 = 95+70+15+25+25 = 230
1990 = 80+45+12+18+20 = 175
1991 = 75+60+16+21+18 = 190
= (2.1 + 230 + 175) / (2.1 + 230 +175 + 190) = 0.6817.
28) B

Total material cost = (95+80+75+70+45+60+15+12+16+25+18+21) = 532

Total labour cost = (2.1+25+20+18) = 65.1
The ratio = 532:65.1 = 8:1
29) B
The estimated cost in 1990 = 80 + 45 + 12 + 18 = 155
The estimated cost in 1991 = 75 + 60 + 16 + 21 = 172
Cost of material rises by 5%,
Cost rise by 0.05X (155 + 172) = Rs.16.35lakhs.
30) B
Amount spent till 1991 = Rs.725.5lakhs
Estimated Expenditure for 1991 = 209.5lakhs.
The increase in expenditure will be 209.5 on 725.5 = 28.87%.

36). C

Amount of Royalty to be paid for these books be Rs. x

Then, 20/15 = 30600/ x
x = Rs. 30600*15/20
= Rs. 22,950
37). D
Central angle corresponding to Royalty = 15% of 360
=54
38). B
Marked price of the book = 120% of C.P.
Also, cost of paper = 25% of C.P
Let the cost of paper for a single book be Rs. x
120/ 25 = 180/ n
n=180*25/120
n=37.50
39). B
For the publisher to earn a profit of 25%, S.P. = 125% of C.P.
Also Transportation Cost = 10% of C.P.
Let the S.P. of 5500 books be Rs. x.
Then,
10 / 125 = 82500/ x
x= 82500*125/10
x = 1031250
S.P. of one book = 1031250/5500
= 187.50
40). A
Printing Cost of book = 20% of C.P.
Royalty on book = 15% of C.P.
Difference = (20% of C.P.) - (15% of C.P) = 5% of C.P.
Percentage difference = 5% of CP/Printing Cost* 100
= 25%

Cistern from an empty state if B is used for half the time and A and B fill it together for the other
half?
A) 7.5 minutes B) 2.5 minutes C) 3.5 minutes D) 8.5 minutes
52). Two pipes E and F can fill a tank. If both the pipes are opened simultaneously, after how much
time should F be closed so that the tank is full in 8 minutes?
A) 20 minutes B) 18 minutes C) 16 minutes D) 30 minutes
53). Three pipes I, J, and R can fill a tank. If Pipe R alone can fill a tank in 24 minutes then the pipe
R is closed 12 minutes before the tank is filled. In what time the tank is full?
A) 9 5/13 B) 10 4/13 C) 8 4/13 D) 7 6/13

54). Two pipes G and H can fill a cistern. If they are opened on alternate minutes and if pipe G is
opened first, in how many minutes will the tank be full?
A) 5 minutes B) 3 minutes C) 8 minutes D) 6 minutes
55). Two pipes, C and D are opened simultaneously and it is found that due to the leakage in the
bottom, 17/7 minutes are taken extra to fill the tank. If the tank is full, in what approximate time
would the leak empty it?
A) 28 minutes B) 23 minutes C) 39 minutes D) 69 minute
Solutions
51). A
Part filled by A and B = 1/15 + 1/10 = 1/6
Part filled by B = 1/10
x/2(1/6 + 1/10) = 2/15 = 15/2 = 7.5 minutes
52). B
Required time = y (1-(t/x)) = 27(1-(8/24)) = 18 minutes
53). C
Let T is the time taken by the pipes to fill the tank
(1/12 + 1/18 + 1/24)*(T – 12) + (1/12 + 1/18)*12 = 1
T = 108/13 = 8 4/13
54). D
Pipe G can fill = 1/12
Pipe H can fill = 1/4
for every two minutes, 1/12 + 1/4 = 1/3 Part filled
Total = 6 minute
55). C
Total time taken by both pipes before the leak was developed = 60/7 minutes
now, leaks is developed which will take T time to empty the tank so, (1/15 +1/20 – 1/T) = 60/7 + 17/7
(1/15 +1/20 – 1/T) = 1/11
solve for T,
660/17 minutes = 39 minutes

56). A waste pipe, W can carry off 12 litre of water per minute. If all the pipes M, N and W are
opened when the tank is full and it takes one hour to empty the tank. Find the capacity of the tank.
A) 60 B) 25 C) 35 D) 85
57). Two pipes K, and L are opened and when the tank is 1/3 full a leak is developed due to which
1/3 water supplied by the pipe leaks out. What is the total time to fill the tank?
A) 25/2 minutes B) 40/3 minutes C) 18/9 minutes D) 10/4 minutes
58). Two pipes I and J are opened simultaneously and it is found that due to leakage in the bottom
of the tank it took 48 minutes excess time to fill the cistern. When is the cistern full, in what time
will the leak empty it?
A) 15hr B) 80hr C) 72hr D) 15hr
59). Three pipes N, C and D can fill a tank. If pipe N is opened all the time and pipe C and D are
opened for one hour alternatively. The tank will be full in
A) 5 hr B) 3 hr C) 8 hr D) 7 hr
60). Three pipes R, A and B can fill the tank. R can fill the tank 5 minutes less than that of B. If all
the pipes are opened together and pipe B is turned off 5 minutes before the tank is filled. Then find
the time in which the tank will full.
A) 45/11hr B) 23/15hr C) 39/12hr D) 15/18hr
Solution
56). A
Let the waste pipe take ‘X’ time to empty the tank.
(1/10 + 1/12 – 1/X)*60 = -1
we will get X = 5 min
so capacity = 5*12 = 60ltr
57). B

(1/15 + 1/30)*T1 = 1/3, T1 = 10/3 minutes

Now after leak is developed,
[(1/15 + 1/30) – (1/3)*(1/15 + 1/30)]*T2 = 2/3
T2 = 10 minutes.
So total time = 10 + 10/3 = 40/3 minutes
58). C
Work done by the two pipes in 1 hour = (1/12) + (1/18) = (15/108).
Time taken by these pipes to fill the tank = (108/15) hrs = 7 hours 12 min.
Due to leakage, time taken = 7 hours 12 min + 48 min = 8 hours
Work done by two pipes and leak in 1 hour = 1/8.
Work done by the leak in 1 hour = (15/108)-(1/8) = (1/72).
Leak will empty the full cistern in 72 hours.
59). D
(1/12 + 1/15) + (1/12 + 1/20) = 17/60 (in 2 hrs this much tank is filled)
so in 6 hrs 51/60 is filled.
Remaining, 9/60 = (1/12 + 1/15)*T, so T = 1hr
so total = 6 + 1 = 7 hr
60). A
Let total time taken by the pipes is X hrs,
(1/5 + 1/10 + 1/15)*(X – 5) + (1/5 + 1/15)*5 = 45/11

65). Q and R started the work. After 3 days S joined them. What is the total number of days in which
they had completed the work?
A) 21 B) 4 C) 8 D) 6
Solution
61). C
Efficiency (P:Q) = 5 : 4
Number of days(P:Q) = 4x : 5x = 4x : 25
Number of days required by A to finish the work alone = 4x
= 4 * 5 = 20.
P and Q work together for last 5 days = 5 * 9 = 45%
Efficiency of P = 5% and Q’s efficiency = 4%
No. of days taken by P to complete 55% work = 55/5 = 11days
62). B
The days ratio of (P+Q+R) : (Q+R) = X:3X/2 = 2X : 3X;
Efficiency ratio = 3X:2X
Efficiency of P = x.
(480/3X) = Rs.160
Amount received by Q = Rs.120 & R = 200
160:120:200 =4:3:5
1/4:1/3:1/5= 15:20:12;
(1/15+1/12+1/20)*Y = 1
Y = 5 days
63). D
Let the work lasted for x days,
P’s 4 day’s work +Q (x – 3) day’s work + R’s x day’s work = 1
(4/16) + (x – 3) / (64/5) + x/32 = 1
5(x – 3)/64 + x/32 = 1 – 1/4

[5(x – 3) + 2x] / 64 = 3/4

x = (48 + 15)/7 = 63/7 = 9 days
64). A
Efficiency of R= (100/50) = 2%
Rest work = 75%
Efficiency of S = 75/25 = 3%
Combined efficiency of R and S = 5%
Number of days required by R and S to work together = 100/5 = 20 days
65). B
Efficiency of Q and R = 11.11 + 5.55 = 16.66%
Work done in 3 days = 3 x 16.66 = 50%
Rest work done by Q, R and S = 50/50 = 1 day
Work can be completed in 4 days.

has done only 25% work so to complete the remaining work on time by how much percentage he
should increase his efficiency?
A) 12.5 B) 16.66 C) 33.33 D) 50
Solutions
66) A
Let work = 180 units
D’ 1 day’s work =20 (work/ no. of days taken)
F’s 1 day’s work =20
Q’s 1 day’s work=7.5

S’s 1 days work=7.5

T’s 1 day’s work = 20
F and D worked for 2 days=(20+20)*2 = 80(remaining work = 100)
now for 2 days ( 7.5+7.5+20)*2 = 70(remaining work = 30) so 30/180 = 1/6
67) B
Total days taken by boys to do the work = 180/100 = 9/5 days
days taken by 4 girls = 180/45 = 4 days
Difference = 4-9/5 = 11/5 days
68) C
E’s one day’s work -180/12 = 15 units
C one day’s work -180/10 = 18 units
now, E works at 120% of 15 = 18 units
C at 5/6 of 18 = 15 units
E + C’s 2 days’ work = 33
In 10 days -33*5 = 165 units
Remaining =15 units
E does 18 days a day so to do 15 units He will take 5/6 days
Total time taken = 10* 5/6 days
69) D
A’s 1 day’s work =15 units so to do 25% work (assumed total work = 180) = 45
He will take 3 days
to do 10% work= 18 units C will take 1 days
Remaining work = 180-63 = 117
to do 117, U will take 117/9 = 13 days (U’s 1 day’s work = 180/20 = 9 units)
Total days = 3+1+13 = 17 days
70) A
B’s 1 day’s work =180/15 = 12 units
in 5 days he should have done = 60 units
but he did 180/4 = 45 units
so remaining work = 135 units
Complete it in 10 days he should do 135/10 = 13.5 units per day
therefore increased efficiency =13.5 – 12 = 1.5 = 1.5*100/12 = 12.5%

among themselves. In how many days will the work be completed this way? (They all worked
individually)

A) 25 4/5 days B) 27 4/5 days C) 23 5/6 days D) 24 3/5 days
74). A is 20% more efficient than Q and B is 60% more efficient than R. They worked together for 5
days and left the work, after which the remaining work was completed by R and T together. If all
worked together, in how many less days they could have completed the work?
A) 6 3/13 days B) 5 days C) 4 3/5 days D) 7 days
75). J can complete the whole work in number of days equal to the average of number of days in
which P and Q can complete the work. J, R, S, and T all started the work and after 5 days they were
replaced by P and Q. P and Q completed the remaining work in how many days?
A) 3 1/5 days B) 2 2/3 days C) 1 2/3 days D) 2 3/5 days
Solutions
71) C
P does 20% works in 4 days.
100% work in 100*4/20 = 20 days
Q can complete 100% work in 100*3/10 = 30 days
They worked for 2 days,
[1/20 + 1/30]*2 = 1/6 work
Now R completed 25% = 1/4 work
So now remaining work = 1 – (1/6 + 1/4) = 7/12
F complete 7/12 work in 7 days, so complete work in 12 days
72) D
P’s part of work = 20% = 1/5
So G did 1/5 of work,
Whole work in 30 days, 1/5 work in 1/5 * 30 = 6 days
Q also worked for 6 days.
Q can complete whole work in 30 days, in 6 days, completed 6/30 = 1/5 of work
Now remaining work = 1 – (1/5 + 1/5) = 3/5
Now T can complete whole work in 40 days [100*6/15]
So M can complete work in 10 days. So completed 3/5 work in 3/5 * 10 = 6days
So total number of days = 6+6+6 = 18 days
73) B
5 people equally divided the work so each did 1/5 work now
P 1/5 work in 4 days as earlier
Q =1/10 work in 3 days, so 1/5 work in 6 days

R =1/4 work in 6 days, so 1/5 work in 24/5 days

S = 3/10 work in 7.5 days, so 1/5 work in 5 days
T = 3/20 work in 6 days, so 1/5 work in 8 days
Complete work in = 4 + 6 + 24/5 + 5 + 8 = 27.8 days
74) A
A and Q
A = 120:100 = 6:5. Days = 5:6
6 =30, 1 =5, 5 =25.
A can complete work in 25 days
B and R
B = 160: 100 = 8: 5.Days = 5: 8
8 = 24, 1 = 3, 5 = 15.
B can complete work in 15 days
They worked for 5 days. So
[1/25 + 1/15]*5 = 8/15 work
Reaming 7/15 by R and T
So [1/24 + 1/40]*x = 7/15
x = 7 days
Total = 5+7 = 12 days
They work together
[1/25 + 1/15 + 1/24 + 1/40] = 13/75
So 75/13 days
So less days = 12 – 75/13 = 81/13 = 6 3/13 days
75) A
P in 20 days, Q in 30days.
J in (20+30)/2 = 25 days
J, R, S, and T started work
[1/25 + 1/24 + 1/25 + 1/40]= 11/75.
Worked for 5 days
11/75 * 5 =11/15 of work
Remaining work = 4/15
[1/20 + 1/30]*x = 4/15
x = 48/15 days = 3 1/5 days

ratio of speed of still water in APR and MAY?
A) 5:6 B) 11:18 C) 5:15 D) 18:11
Solutions
Distances upstream:
JAN = 18/100 * 150 = 27 km, FEB= 12/100 * 150 = 18 km. MAR = 39 km, APR = 45 km, MAY = 21 km
Similarly Distances downstream:
JAN = 27 km, FEB = 45 km. MAR = 18 km, APR = 36 km, MAY = 54 km
86) A
Let speed of still water upstream in MAY = x, then downstream in APR = (10-x)
21/(x-3) = 36/[(10-x)+2.5]
x = 6.5
Ratio is 3.5 : 6.5 = 7 : 13
87) B
Speeds – 4x and 5x
in JAN
27/ (4x-3) + 27/(5x+3) = 9/2
Solve, x = 3
downstream speed = 5x = 15 km/hr
88) C
8x and 3x, Also 8x – 3x = 5
So x = 1, speeds are 8 and 3 km/hr
So for FEB
18/ (3-b) + 45/ (8+b) = 14
b = 1 km/hr
89) D
In MAR
39/ (4x-2) – 18/ (5x+2) = 5
x = 2 km/hr
39/(8-2) + 18/(10+2) = 8 hours
90) A
Let speed of still water upstream in APR = x, then downstream in MAY = (11-x)
Now
45/(x-2.5) – 54/[(11-x)+3)] = 12
15/(x-2.5) – 18/(14-x) = 4
x=5
So required ratio is 5 : 6

315 km upstream than same distance downstream?
A) 20 hours B) 24 hours C) 32 hours D) 8 hours
Solutions
91). A

Let x km/hr is the speed of stream on that particular day.

So 255/ (12+x) = 195/ (20-x) + 2
Solve, x = 5 km/hr
ratio of speed upstream: downstream = (12-5): (12+5) = 7: 17
92). B
On Monday, speed of stream is x km/hr
On Tuesday it is (x+2) km/hr
On Monday = 756 km,
Tuesday = 756/2 = 378 KM
756 / (16+x) = 378/ (16-(x+2)) – 6
126 / (16+x) = 63 / (14-x) – 1
x = 5 km/hr
Speed of stream on Tuesday = (5+2) = 7 km/hr
Downstream speed of boat B = (16+7) = 23 km/hr
93). C
Upstream speed of C = 6 km/hr, so speed of stream: 9 – x = 6, x = 3 km/hr
Downstream speed of boat C = 9+3 = 12 km/hr
Downstream speed of boat A = 12+3 = 15 km/hr
Difference in timings = 360/12 – 360/15 = 30 – 24 = 6 hour
94). D
Let speed of stream on that day = x km/hr
So (20-x) / (20+x) = 3/7
x = 8 km/hr
y / (20-8) – y / (20+8) = 20
y = 420 km
Required time = 420/(16+8) = 420/24 = 17.5 hours
95). A
Upstream speed = 9, speed of boat = 15 km/hr
Speed of stream = 15-9 = 6 km/hr
Downstream speed = 15+6 = 21 km/hr
required time = 315/9 – 315/21 = 20 hours

Directions(106-110): Ghosh Babu has recently acquired four companies namely Arc – Net Technologies
(ANT), Babu Anta Transport (BAT), Charles Anter Tailor (CAT) and Daud Akbar Transistors (DAT). When
the results of the companies for the year 1992 – 93 were placed before him. He found a few interesting
things about them. While the profits of CAT and DAT were the same, the sales of CAT were the same as
those of BAT. Profits of ANT were 10% of its sales, where as the profits of BAT were 20% of its sales.
While the total expenses of CAT were 5 times its profits, sales of DAT were 3 times its profits. The total
expenses of CAT were Rs. 1000000 the total expenses of ANT were 10% less than those of CAT. Profits
are defined as the difference between sales and total expenses.
106). Which company had the lowest sales?
(A) ANT (B) BAT (C) CAT (D) DAT
107). Which company had the highest total expenses?

108). Which company had the lowest profits?

109). Which company had the highest profits?
Solutions
Let the profits gained by the companies CAT & DAT = x,
Let the sale of the company CAT & BAT = y
Let the sale of the company sales of ANT = z.
COMPANY SALES EXPENDITURE PROFIT

ANT Z 0.9Z 0.1Z
BAT Y 0.8Y 0.2Y
CAT Y 5X X
DAT 3X X
First the total expenses of CAT were Rs.

Therefore 5x = Rs.10 LAKHS
x = Rs.2 LAKHS.
Also the difference between the total expenses of ANT and CAT = 10% = Rs.9 LAKHS.
Therefore 0.9z = 9 LAKHS
z = 10 LAKHS.
Since the Profit = Sales – Expenditure
Sales = Expenditure + Profit
6x = 12 LAKHS. Hence y = 12 LAKHS.
So from the above information the table would be
COMPANY SALES EXPENDITURE PROFIT
ANT 10 L 9L 1L
BAT 12 L 9.6 L 2.4 L
CAT 12 L 10 L 2L
DAT 6L 4L 2L

Company A to that of Company B in APR?
A) 16:15 B) 34:56 C) 11:55 D) 44:55
SOLUTIONS

Profit = (Income-Expenditure)/Expenditure*100
136) A
For company A
Frome above Formula
65 = (3x-E1)/E1*100
E1 = 3x (100/165)
Forcompany B
From above formula
50 = (4x-E2)/E2*100
E2 = 4x (100/150)
E1/E2 = 15/22
137) B
35 = (x-220)/220*100
x = Rs.297crores.
138) C
Let the expenditures of each companies A and B in JAN be Rs. x crores.
And let the income of Company A in JAN be Rs.zcrores.
So that the income of Company B in JAN = Rs.(342 - z) crores.
For A
40 = (z-x)/x*100
x = 100z/140…… (J)
For B
45 = (342-z-x)/x*100
x= (342-z)/145*100…….. (K)
Substituting z = 168 in (J), we get
x = 120.
Total expenditure of Companies A and B in JAN = 2x = Rs.240crores.
Total income of Companies A and B in JAN = Rs.342crores
Total profit = Rs.(342 - 240) crores = Rs.102crores.
139) D
For Company A
Let the income of Company A in MAR be Rs.x crores.
55 = (x-200)/200*100 = 310
Let the income of Company A in JUN be Rs. z crores.
50 = (z -310)/310 *100
z = Rs.465crores
Income of Company A in JUN = Rs.465crores.
140) A For Company A

50 = (x-E1)/E1*100

151). M and N started working on Files 1. They completed 1/3rd of work after which they left and O
joined the Files. O can complete the whole Files in 12 days. After O worked for his assigned
number of days, P joined the files and worked for his assigned number of days. Find the number of
days in which P can complete the whole Files 1?
152). M who can complete Files 2 in 20 days, worked for 6 days. The ratio of number of days in
which N and O can complete Files 2 alone is 5: 8. P could not come to work for Files 2. Find the
number of days in which N and O can complete 13/30 of Files 2 together, given that if P who can
complete work in 12 days had also joined the Files for 4 days, the Files would have been
completed.
153). A file 3 was to be completed in 6 days. To complete Files in time, all M, N, O and P decided to
work in pairs in alternate days. M and O on 1st day, N and P on 2nd day, M and O on 3rd, and so on.
But they could not complete Files in time. What percent of Files 3 remain uncompleted if M, N, O

A) 33/4% B) 12/5% C) 70/3% D) 23/3%
154). N and O can complete the whole Files 4 in 6 days working together. M is 20% more efficient
than O and 40% less efficient that N. How many days did P work on Files 4 if P can complete whole
Files 4 in 18 days?
A) 2 days B) 9 days C) 6 days D) 1 day
155). M, Q and P worked on Files numbered 5.N and O alone can complete whole Files numbered 5
in 20 and 30 days respectively. Q who is 3/2 times efficient than N and Otogether replaces both of
them and worked for same number of days for which N and Ohad to work. M completed 1/12th of
the work. Find in how many days all M, N, O, and P can complete the Files 5 together.
SOLUTIONS
151) A
M and N complete 1/3rd, O completed 1/12 * 2 = 1/6
Completed work before P joined is 1/3 + 1/6 = 1/2
P = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2 of work
Now Files uncompleted after P left = 1/3
So P did = 1/2 – 1/3 = 1/6 of work
He worked for 3 days, means he complete 1/6th of work in 3 days.
He can do complete Files 1 in 6/1 * 3 = 18 days
152) B
Number of days in which N and O can complete Files 2 alone is 5x and 8x respectively.
Now if P also joined for 4 days, Files would have been completed, means

6/20 + 3/5x + 4/8x + 4/12 = 1

11/10x = 11/30
x=3
SoN can complete Files in 5x = 15 days, and C in 8x = 24 days.
So 13/30 work, N and O together – (1/15 + 1/24)*y = 13/30
y = 4 days
153) C
Files is to be completed in 6 days. They all worked in pairs on alternate means all worked for 3 days
each.
On 1st day, work completed by M and O = 1/12 + 1/20 = 2/15
On 2nd day, work completed by N and P = 1/18 + 1/15 = 11/90
1st pair worked for 3 days, so work completed by them = 2/15 * 3 = 2/5
Similarly, by N and P = 11/90 * 3 = 11/30
So part of Files uncompleted= 1 – (2/5 + 11/30) = 7/30
So % = 7/30 * 100 = 70/3%
154) D
Efficiency — M : O = 120 : 100 = 6 : 5
So days ratio = 5 : 6
Similarly, M : N = 60 : 100 = 3 : 5, so days 5 : 3
N/M = 3/5, M/O = 5/6
So ratio of days for N : M : O is 3 : 5 : 6 …………(1)
Now — N and O can complete the whole Files 4 in 6 days working together, and ratio of no. of days in
which they can complete work alone is N and O from (1) is 3 : 6 = 1 : 2
So
1/x + 1/2x = 1/6
x=9
So N can complete work in 9 days, O in 18 days and then M in 15 days
Now, let P worked for ‘y’ days on Files 4. So
1/15 *5 + 1/9 * 3 + 1/18 * 2 + 1/18 * y = 1 – 1/6
y = 1 day
155) A
N and O together can complete work in 12 days [1/20 + 1/30 = 5/60 — 12 days]
Efficiency E : (N+O) = 3/2 : 1 = 3 : 2
So, ratio of number days = 2 : 3
So Q can complete whole work in 2/3 * 12= 8 days
Now Q worked for (2+3) = 5 days – total days for which N and O worked.
So Q completed 5/8 of work, M completed 1/12 of work. 1/12 is uncompleted work. Let x is no. of days in
which P can complete whole work. So
M’s work + Q’s work + P’s work = 1 – uncompleted work

1/12 + 5/8 + 5/x = 1 – 1/12

Solve, x = 24 = no. of days in which P can alone complete Files 5.
A completed 1/12th work in 2 days, so he can complete whole Files in 2*12 = 24 days
M = 24, N = 20, O = 30, P = 24
So, together they can complete in = 1/24 + 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/24 = 1/6 = 6 days
