(A) 11/2 hr
(B) 7 hr
(C) 13/2 hr
(D) 6 hr
Answer: (A)
Explanation:
Given, Total distance = 225 km
Distance travelled in every hour will be equal to the speed. Distance travelled in 1st hour = 25 km
Distance travelled in 2nd hour = 32 km (Speed increased by 7 km/hour) Distance travelled in 3rd hour = 39 km
Distance travelled in 4th hour = 46 km
Distance travelled in 5th hour = 53 km
Total distance travelled in 5 hours = 25+32+39+46+53 = 195 km Remaining distance = 225-195 = 30 km
Speed for 6th hour will be 53+7 = 60 km/hr
Hence, 30 km can be travelled in 0.5 hours.
Therefore, 225 km distance will be travelled in 5.5 hours =

Q. 68 A bag has Rs.840 in the denomination of ₹ 1, ₹ 2 and ₹ 5 coins. ₹ 1, ₹ 2 and ₹ 5 coins are in the ratio of 8 : 1 : 5. How many coins of ₹ 5 are in the bag?
(A) 60
(B) 24
(C) 600
(D) 120
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Let the number of Rs.1 coins, Rs.2 coins and Rs.5 coins be 8x, x and 5x respectively.
Then, Value of Rs.1 coins = 8x*1 = Rs.8x
Value of Rs.2 coins = x*2 = Rs.2x
Value of Rs.5 coins = 5x*5 = Rs.25x
Then, Total money present in the bag = Rs.8x+Rs.2x+Rs.25x = Rs.35x
Given, Rs.35x = Rs.840 => x = 24
Therefore, Number of Rs.5 coins = 5x = 24*5 = 120 coins.

Q. 70 The Least Common Multiple and Highest common Factor of two numbers are 30 and 5 respectively. If their sum is 25, then what will be the difference of these two numbers?
(A) 15
(B) 10
(C) 25
(D) 5
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Let the two numbers be a and b.
We know that Product of two numbers = Product of their LCM and HCF.
Then, ab = 30*5 = 150
a+b = 25
(a − b)2 = (a + b)2 − 4ab = 252 − 4 × 150 = 625 − 600 = 25
=> a-b = 5
Therefore, The difference between the numbers = 5.
Q. 71 A shopkeeper sells a cooler at a discount of 15%.If he gives a discount of 19%, then he earns ₹ 332 less. What will be the marked price of the cooler?
(A) ₹8100
(B) ₹8300
(C) ₹8700
(D) ₹8200
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Let the Marked Price of the cooler be Rs.100x
Selling Price after a discount of 15% = 85% of Rs.100x = Rs.85x
Selling Price after a discount of 19% = 81% of Rs.100x = Rs.81x
Given, Rs.85x – Rs.81x = Rs.332
=> 4x = 332 => x = 83
Therefore, Marked price = Rs.100x = Rs.100*83 = Rs.8300.
Q. 72 The bar chart given below shows the total exports (in = 1000 crores) of a country for 7 consecutive years Y1, Y2, Y3, Y4, Y5, Y6 and Y7.
What is the ratio of the exports of year with lowest exports and the year with second highest exports?
(A) 9 : 12
(B) 5 : 12
(C) 9 : 13
(D) 5 : 11
Answer: (B)
Explanation:
Exports of year with lowest exports(in 1000 crores) = 500 in Y1
Exports of year with second highest exports(in 1000 crores) = 1200 in Y4
Therefore, Required ratio = 500 : 1200 = 5 : 12
Q. 73 If X is 80% more than Y, then Y is how much percentage less than X?

Q. 75 K, L and M invest sum in the ratio of 15 : 20 : 27 respectively. If they earned total profit of ₹ 10230 at the end of year, then what is the difference between share of K and L?
(A) ₹ 1155
(B) ₹ 1275
(C) ₹ 1980
(D) ₹ 825
Answer: (D)
Explanation:
Ratio of investments = Ratio of profits
Let the profits of K, L and M be Rs.15x, Rs.20x and Rs.27x respectively.
Total profit = Rs.15x+Rs.20x+Rs.27x = Rs.62x
Given, Rs.62x = Rs.10230 => x = Rs.165
Then, The difference between share of K and L = Rs.20x – Rs.15x = Rs.5x = Rs.5*165 = Rs.825
