Answer With Explanation

Q.1. 
P= 29512/((8 * 3) + (10 * 2) + (9 * 8)) 
=47600 

Q.2 
Cannot be determined 

Q.3 
Milk = 42 * 18/35 + 48 * 13/20 = 264/5 
Water = 42 * 17/35 + 48 * 7/20 = 186/5 
Total Water= 186/5 + 20 = 286/5 
Milk: Water = 264/5: 286/5 = 12: 13. 

Q.4 
Weight of 1st cow = 200 kg.
Weight of 3rd cow = 250 kg.
Weight of 2nd cow = 300 kg.
Weight of 4th cow = 450 kg.
Weight of 5th cow = 500 kg. 
Difference = 1500/4 – 1200/4 = 50 kg. 

Q.5 
Sum of ages of 6 members 5 years ago = 104 years
Sum of present ages of 6 members = 104 + 30 = 134 years
According to question,
134 - (Daughter - In - law) + Daughter = 104 years
(Daughter - In - law) - Daughter = 30 years 

Q.6 
Cannot be determined 

Q.7 – e) 
20000×12: 24000×10: 9600 × 8 = 25: 25: 8
Total Profit = 2× (96000-20000) = 152000 

Swapon profit = 152000 * 25/58 = 65517.24 

Q8. – a) 
60000 * 24:140000 * 18: 120000 * 12 
4:7: 4 
Vivek’s Share = 450000 * 7/15 = 210000 

Q.9 
His Salary = (1800 + 1000) * ((100/(100-50)) * (100/(100-30)) = 8000 

Q.10 
Price before rebate = 1200 * (100/(100-20)) = 1500. 

Q.11 
Here the series is 
14 * 1 – 1 = 13 
13 * 2 – 4 = 22 
22 * 3 – 9 = 57 
57 * 4 – 16 = 212 
212 * 5 -25 = 1035 

Q.12 
Here the series is 
217 + 7 =224 
224 -11 = 213 
213 + 13 =226 
226 -17 = 209 
209 +19 = 228 

Q.13 
Here the series is 
153 + 73 = 496 
496 + 63 = 712 
712 + 53 = 837 
837 + 43 =901 
901 + 33 = 928 

Q.14 
Here the series is 
11 * 7 – 7 * 5 = 42 
42 * 6 – 6 * 6 = 216 
216 * 5 – 5 * 7 = 1042 
1045 * 4 – 4 * 8 = 4148 
4148 * 3 – 3 * 9 = 12417 

Q.15 
Here the series is 
488/2 +1.0 = 245 
245/2 + 1.5 = 124 
124/2 + 2.0 = 64 
64/2 + 2.5 = 34.5 
34.5/2 + 3.0 = 20.25
