SECTION-III: NUMERIC ABILITY

91: Option b

The smallest number is 3. All the other numbers are (LCM of 6 and 7) + 3 or (any multiple of the LCM) +

3

ie 3, 45, 87, 129, and so on.

The largest such number is 465 and all such numbers will form an AP.

465 = 3 + (n-1) x 42

CP/16/C01



Therefore, (n-1) x 42 = 462

n-1 = 11

n=12.

92: Option d

For any 2 given numbers, product of the numbers = product of HCF and LCM

12 x Y = 96 x 4

Y = 32

93: Option a

12.5% is the equivalent of 1/8.

Therefore, if B is 8, then A will be 9.

Required value = [(8-9)/9] x 100

= -100/9 = -11.11%

94: Option c

66.66% of a number = 2/3rd

of the number.

2/3 of N 1/3 of N = 20

1/3 of N = 20

N = 60.

When 60 is divided by 7, the remainder obtained = 4.

95: Option a

SP of the item = 200 x 0.75 = Rs.150

Now as per the question, CP x 125/100 = SP

CP x 125/100 = 150

Therefore, CP = Rs.120

Profit = 150-120 = Rs.30

CP/16/C01



96: Option d

If 1 gram costs Rs 1. Then 900 gms = Rs 900 and 1000 grms = 1000

Now if he sells 1000gms at 20% markup, then SP = 1200

But actually he sells 900 gms = Rs 900

Thus, profit% = (300/900) * 100 = 33.33%

97: Option a

SI earned for 2 years = Rs.700

SI earned for 1 year = Rs.350

CI earned for the 1st year = Rs.350

CI earned in the 2nd

year = 350x1.06 = 35x10.6 = Rs.371

Total CI earned = Rs.350+Rs.371 = Rs.721/-

98: Option b

Total amount to be deducted = Rs.60+50+40 = Rs.150

Remaining amount = Rs.650

This will be in the ratio 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6:4:3

Share of B = (4/13) of 650 = Rs.200

Original share of B = Rs.200+50 = Rs.250

99: Option d

240/(S-5) = 12

S-5 = 20

or, S = 25 m/sec

Time taken by the train to cross a platform of length 100 m = (240+100)/25

= 340/25 = 68/5 = 13.6 sec

100: Option a

CP/16/C01



Let x be the speed of the stream. Then,

(7-x) / (7+x) = 3/4

28-4x = 21+3x

7x = 7

x = 1 kmph

101: Option a

Initial total of the marks = 35 x 6 = 210 marks

Let the marks of the new person be y. Therefore,

(210 + y) / 7 = 37.5

210 + y = 262.5

y = 52.2 marks.

102: Option a

Let their ages be 4x and x respectively. Therefore,

(4x+11)/(x+11) = 13/6

24x+66 = 13x+143

11x = 77

x = 7

8 years ago, their ages were 28 and 7 years respectively.

Present age of the daughter = 15 years

103: Option b

24 units

A+B = 12 days 2 units

A+B+C = 8 days 3 units

C alone can do 1 unit per day.

CP/16/C01



C can do the entire work alone in 24 days and so C can do half the work in 12 days.

104: Option b

28 units

Pipe 28 hours 1 unit fill

Leak 14 hours 2 units empty

The leak will work alone for 5 hours.

Total work done = 10 units empty.

Remaining work to be done = 28-10 = 18 units.

Now if both are working, 1 unit will get emptied every hour.

The tank will get emptied in 18 hours.

Total time taken for the tank to get emptied = 5+18 = 23 hours.

105: Option c

There are 2 cases possible:

Case 1: Last digit is 0.

5 ways x 4 ways x digit 0 = 20 numbers

Case 2: Last digit is 2 or 4.

4 ways x 4 ways x 2 ways = 32 numbers

Total = 20+32 = 52 numbers

106: Option c

As per the problem, nC2 = 78

Therefore, n(n-1)/2 = 78

Therefore, n(n-1) = 156

Solving we get n=13

107: Option d

CP/16/C01



The difference between the divisor and the remainder is 2.

Required answer is multiple of the LCM of the divisors 2.

= 105-2 = 103

Sum of the digits of S = 1+3 = 4

108: Option a

-20+x-20x/100 = -24

80x/100 = -4

x= -5%

109: Option c

Use options: If CP is 500. Then S.P. = 550 (making 10% profit)

Now, if CP is reduced by 60, then new C.P.= 440

As, S.P = 550, so profit% = (110/440)*100 = 25%

110: Option b

Use successive change for 5% and 5% as half yearly rate will be 10/2 = 5%

175: Option d

The basis of coding is one from the back and the next alphabet from the front with coding on the basis of

increasing differences.

SOLUTION from 176 to 180 : A is in Row X. So, G is not in Row X. E sat in Row Z. As, B sat only

with F, so B and F sat in Row Y. B is a male i.e. a boy, thus F is a girl. Also, G cannot seat in Rox Y. So,

G seats in Row Z. The following is the situation

Row X: A ,D

Row Y : B (male), F (female)

Row Z : E ,G(female)

C (male) can be either in Row X or Row Y. The sex of A, D and E is unknown.

176: If C (male) is in Row Z, then one of A and D is a girl. The other two girls are F and G. E may be a

boy or a girl. Thus, there could be 3 or 4 girls.

177: G is definitely in Row Z.

178: Depending on the position of C, either Row X or Row Z would have three seats.

179: Option (b) has a girl G. In option (c), since A and D are in same row and C is a male, so one of A

and D has to be a female. Option (a) is a possible set.

180: If D, F, A and G are girls. Then C has to be in Row X to fulfill the condition of at least one boy. In

this case, E will be a boy in Row Z. However, we get a unique combination of seating i.e. 1 way.
