necessarily in the same order. P, Q, R and S are seated on one side and facing south while L, M,
D is painted with pink colour. N and O are seated on the other side and facing north.
M is seated second from one of the ends.

One person sits between M and N and no one sits to the left of
the person who faces N.
A and B are neither painted red nor brown.
A and C are not painted yellow.
Thus, A is painted green.
So, B is painted yellow.

Since, in case 1 there are three persons sitting to the left of the
person facing N, case 1 is eliminated.
P faces the person who sits immediate right of L.

E is not painted red.

Thus, C is painted red and E is painted brown.
The nearest neighbour of N faces the person who is immediate
right of Q.

Since, in case 2(b) the immediate neighbour of N cannot face the

person who is immediate right of Q as P is already placed at Q's
place. So case 2(a) is the possible arrangement.
L does not face R.

Hence, box A is painted green.

Ques 2. ANS (D) Solution:
Combining the given statements, we get
S≤T<U=V<Y≤X=W
From the above statement,
Conclusion I, X > S, follows.
Conclusion II, V < W, follows. Hence, option D.
Ques 3. ANS (B) Solution:
L sits second to the left of O, who sits opposite to R.
Combining the given statements, we get
U≤P>O≥F andF≤O<E=P=V<S
Ques 7. ANS (D) Solution:
From the above statements,
P,Q,R R and S are seated on one side and facing south while L,
Conclusion I, U>F does not follow.
M, N and O are seated on the other side and facing north.
Conclusion II, S>O, follows.
M is seated second from one of the ends.
Hence, only II follows. Hence, option [Link] 4. ANS (A) Solution:
J≤X≤K<D=Y>L
I. Y > X is true as (X ≤ K < D = Y).
II. L > K is false as (K < D = Y > L).
Hence, only conclusion I is true.
So, option A.
Ques 5. ANS (E) Solution:
Combining both the statements we get
E≥F=B=A≥C>D
One person sits between M and N and no one sits to the left of
the person who faces N.

The nearest neighbour of N faces the person who is immediate

right of Q.
Since, in case 1 there are three persons sitting to the left of the
person facing N, case 1 is eliminated.
P faces the person who sits immediate right of L.

Since, in case 2(b) the immediate neighbour of N cannot face the

person who is immediate right of Q as P is already placed at Q's
place. So case 2(a) is the possible arrangement.
L does not face R.

The nearest neighbour of N faces the person who is immediate

right of Q.

L is sitting opposite to S who is sitting second to the right of R

and R is sitting opposite to O who is sitting between M and N. R
is sitting immediate left of P. So, options a, b and c are true. M is
sitting immediate left of O. So, option e is definitely wrong.
Since, in case 2(b) the immediate neighbour of N cannot face the Ques 9. ANS (D) Solution:

place. So case 2(a) is the possible arrangement. N and O are sitting on the other side and facing north.
L does not face R. M is sitting second from one of the ends.

One person sits between M and N and no one sits to the left of
the person who faces N.
One friend sits between R and S, who is facing L and one friend
sits between N and M, who is facing P. Similarly, one friend sits
between O and L, who is facing S.
Ques 8. ANS (E) Solution:
P,Q,R R and S are sitting on one side and facing south while L, M,
N and O are sitting on the other side and facing north.
M is sitting second from one of the ends.
Since, in case 1 there are three persons sitting to the left of the
person facing N, case 1 is eliminated.
P faces the person who sits immediate right of L.

One person sits between M and N and no one sits to the left of
the person who faces N.

The nearest neighbour of N faces the person who is immediate

right of Q.

Since, in case 1 there are three persons sitting to the left of the
person facing N, case 1 is eliminated.
P faces the person who sits immediate right of L.
Since, in case 2(b) the immediate neighbour of N cannot face the
person who is immediate right of Q as P is already placed at Q's

So, the words formed are RATE, TEAR and TARE.

So, more than one word like 'Q' can be formed.
S and Q swap places with P and R respectively. So, R sits third to Ques 12. ANS (A) Solution:

⇒ Number of petrol cars of Hyundai = 42000 × 5/7 = 30000 Putting the value of r in (1), we get
Total number of cars of Toyota = 10% of 300000 = 30000 r + 185/r = 10
⇒ Ratio of petrol cars and diesel cars for Toyota = 0.5/1 = 1 : 2 ⇒ r2 – 42r + 185 = 0
⇒ Number of petrol cars of Toyota = 30000 × 1/3 = 10000 ⇒ r2 – 37r – 5r + 185 = 0
Total number of cars of Maruti = 24% of 300000 = 72000 ⇒ (r – 37) (r – 5) = 0
⇒ Ratio of petrol cars and diesel cars for Maruti = 2/1 = 2 : 1 ⇒ r = 5, 37
⇒ Number of diesel cars of Maruti = 72000 × 1/3 = 24000 We require the maximum value of r
Total number of cars of Tata = 14% of 300000 = 42000 ⇒ r = 37 cm

From both the statements, Explanation:
⇒ p/q = 125/33 and Let the age of Sanju be s years and the age of Raja be r years.
⇒ p = 46.71 km/hr According to the question,
∴ To calculate the speed of the boat in still water, the s + r = 30 years
information given in both the statements together is required. Sum of ages 10 years ago,
Ques 57. ANS (C) Solution: s + r = 30 -20 = 10 years
Formula used: Also, product of ages 10 years ago,
For a cylinder, s × r = 16
Curved surface area = 2πrh Putting s = 10 -r in the above equation,
Volume = πr2h 10r - r2 = 16
Where, r → is the radius of the cylinder, h → is the height of the ⇒ r2 - 10r + 16 = 0
cylinder ⇒ r2 - 8r - 2r + 16 = 0
Statement I. ⇒ (r - 8) (r - 2) = 0
The sum of the height and radius of the cylinder is 42 cm. ⇒ r = 8.2
⇒ r + h = 42 r will be 2, as Sanju is elder.
The values of r and h are not given. Present age, r = 12 years, s = 18 years
So, Statement I alone is not sufficient. Required percentage = (18 -12) / 12 × 100 = 50%
Statement II. ∴ Sanju's age is 50% more than Raja's age.
The curved surface area of the cylinder is 370π cm2. Ques 61. ANS (C) Solution:

Also, we know that, A – B = 5 (difference between the ages is Let the tank be filled in x minutes
always same) Part filled by the tank in one minute = 1/x
Let us solve, Part emptied from the hole in 1 minute = 1/28
A = 55 years and B = 50 years According to the question,
Father’s present age = 55 years ⇒ 1/x – 1/28 = -(1/42)
Mother’s present age = 50 years ⇒ 1/x = 1/28 – 1/42
So, ⇒ x = 84 minutes
⇒ C + D = 51 So, the tap fills the tank in 84 minutes
Also, we know that, C – D = 9 (difference between the ages is Now it is given that, the tap can fill 2.5 liters in one minute
always same) ⇒ Capacity of the tank = 84 × 2.5 = 210 liters
Let us solve, Ques 66. ANS (C) Solution:
C = 30 years and D = 21 years Given:
Daughter’s present age = 30 years Orange juice and apple juice Ratio of apple juice added = 2 : 3
Son’s present age = 21 years New ratio = 1 : 2
∴ Required ratio = 55: 30 Orange juice added = 2 litres
⇒ 11: 6 Calculations:
Ques 63. ANS (A) Solution: Here, considering X as the initial quantity of mixture
Let the present ages of father, mother, daughter and son be A, B, ⇒ Quantity of apple juice in old mixture = (2 / 5) × X
C and D years respectively. ⇒ Quantity of orange juice added in old mixture = (3 / 5) × X
⇒ A + B + C + D = 39 × 4 = 156 Now, 2 litres are added
⇒ (A + 5)∶ (B + 5) = 12∶ 11 ⇒ (2/5) × X) / ((((3/5) × X) + 2) = 1 : 2
⇒ 11A + 55 = 12B + 60 ⇒ 2X / (3X + 10) = 1 : 2
⇒ 11A – 12B = 5 ⇒ 4X = 3X + 10
Also, we know that, A – B = 5 (difference between the ages is ⇒ X = 10 litres
always same) ⇒ New mixture = 10 + 2
Let us solve, ∴ The quantity of new mixture is 12 litres.
A = 55 years and B = 50 years Ques 67. ANS (D) Solution:
Present age of father = 55 years Relative speed of train A and B = SpeedA + SpeedB
Present age of mother = 50 years ⇒ 50 + 20 = 70 km/hr
So, Relative speed of train B and C = SpeedB + SpeedC
⇒ C + D = 51 ⇒ 20 + 70 = 90 km/hr
Also, we know that, C – D = 9 (difference between the ages is ⇒ Required ratio = 70/90 = 7 : 9
always same) Ques 68. ANS (B) Solution:
Let us solve, Given:
C = 30 years and D = 21 years Marked price of the article = Rs 40000
Present age of daughter = 30 years Successive discounts = 10% and 5%
Present age of son = 21 years Amount spent on repairs = Rs 3000
Tickets of mother and son Total amount for father and daughter Selling price of the article = Rs 40000
tickets = 300 + 300 = Rs. 600 Formula and concepts used:
Total amount for father and daughter tickets = 400 + 300 = Rs. Discount is always given on the marked price as follows:
700 Price after discount = [(100 – % discount)/100] × Marked price --
∴ Required percentage = (700 – 600)/600 × 100 --(i)
⇒16.67% ≈ 17% Profit or loss is always calculated on the cost price. As follows:
Ques 64. ANS (E) Solution: % profit = [(selling price – buying price)/buying price] × 100 ----
Let the present ages of father, mother, daughter and son be A, B, (ii)
C and D years respectively. % loss = [(selling price – selling price)/buying price] × 100 ----
⇒ A + B + C + D = 39 × 4 = 156 (iii)
⇒ (A + 5)∶ (B + 5) = 12∶ 11 Calculations:
⇒ 11A + 55 = 12B + 60 Price after discount = [(100 – 10)/100] of 40000 [(100 – 5)/100]
⇒ 11A – 12B = 5 ⇒ (90/100) × (95/100) × 40000 = 34200
Also, we know that, A – B = 5 (difference between the ages is Total buying price = 34200 + 3000 = 37200
always same) Hence, we get:
Let us solve, Profit = 40000 – 37200 = 2800
A = 55 years and B = 50 years Profit % = 2800/37200 × 100 ≈ 7.5%
Father’s present age = 55 years ∴ There is a profit of 7.5%
