ANSWERS
1. (3)
Let the numbers be x, x+2, x+4 and x+6. Now
x + (x+2) + (x+4) + (x+6) = 260
x = 62
2. (2)
Original Price = 680
Price after first discount = 0.75 * 680 = 510
Second discount = (510 – 408)/510 * 100 = 20%
3. (1)
Amount of salt in original solution = 20% of 20 = 4
Percentage of salt in new solution = 4/15 * 100 = 26.67%
4. (3)
Pipe A and B can fill half the tank in 3 minutes and 5 minutes, So they can fill the empty tank in 6 min and 10 min respectively.
Time taken by them to fill the empty tank together = (6*10)/(6+10) = 3 min 45 sec
5. (4) Ratio of heights = (V1/V2) * (r1/r2)^2 = 1/4 * 25/16 = 25 : 64
Solutions (6-10)
6. (3)
Required ratio = 460 : 500 = 23 : 25
7. (2)
Required average = (410 + 540 + 205) / 3 = 385
8. (1)
Required number = 2/3 of (115 + 230) = 230
9. (5) Required percentage = 435/575 * 100 = 76(approx)
10. (5) From the table
