Question: The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling alongthe oundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 min, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is?
Options:
A)1345460 m
B)134500 m
C)153600 m
D)167360 m
E)173600 m
Rationale: Perimeter = Distance covered in 8 min. = 12000 x 8 m = 1600 m.
60
Let length = 3x metres and breadth = 2x metres.
Then, 2(3x + 2x) = 1600 or x = 160.
Length = 480 m and Breadth = 320 m.
Area = (480 x 320) m2 = 153600 m

Question: If a survey shows that 56 citizens out of a sample of 200 support a particular Senate bill, what percent of the sample does not support the bill?
Options:
A) 56%
B) 64%
C) 72%
D) 82%
E) 86%
Rationale: 56 out of 200 supports the bill and we are asked to find the percent who the does not support the bill.
56 out of 200 supports the bill = 28 out of 100 supports the bill ( taking in % terms )
28 out of 100 supports the bill = 72 (100-28) doesn't support the bill
So, answer is (C) 72%

Question: Gopal borrows Rs 1,00,000 from a bank at 10% p.a. simple interest and clears the debt in five years. If the installments paid at the end of the first, second, third and fourth years to clear the debt are Rs 10,000, Rs 20,000, Rs 30,000 and Rs 40,000 respectively, what amount should be paid at the end of the fifth year to clear the debt?
Options:
A)Rs 20,000
B)Rs 24,500
C)Rs 30,000
D)Rs 35,900
E)None
Rationale: Explanation:
Always remember, In the case of simple interest, installment amount will always be reduced from principal and the interest will be calculated on the remaining principal.
Simple interest for the first year = P×T×R/100=100000×1×10/100 = Rs.10000
Amount after first instalment is paid = 1,00,000 - 10,000 = Rs 90,000
Simple interest for the second year = P×T×R/100=90000×1×10/100= Rs.90,000
Amount after second instalment is paid = 90,000 - 20,000 = Rs 70,000
Simple interest for the third year = P×T×R/100=70000×1×10/100= Rs.7000
Amount after third instalment is paid = 70,000 - 30,000 = Rs 40,000
Simple interest for the fourth year = P×T×R/100=40000×1×10/100 = Rs.4000
Amount after fourth instalment is paid = 40,000 - 40,000 = 0.
Balance of debt for the fifth year = simple interest for four years = 10,000 + 9,000 + 7,000 + 4,000 = Rs 30,000.
Answer C
Answer: C
Question: A man gets a simple interest of Rs.500 on a certain principal at the rate of 5% p.a in two years. Find the compound interest the man will get on twice the principal in two years at the same rate.
Options:
A)Rs.256.22
B)Rs.256.29
C)Rs.256.28
D)Rs.256.81
E)Rs.256.25
Rationale: Explanation:
Let the principal be Rs.P
S.I at 5% p.a in 8 years on Rs.P = Rs.500
(P)(8)(5)/100 = 500
P = 1250
C.I on Rs.2P i.e., Rs.2500 at 5% p.a in two years
=2500{ [1 + 5/100]2 - 1} = 2500{ 212 - 202 /202}
= 2500/400(441 - 400)
= 25/4(41) = 1025/4 = Rs.256.25

Question: 40% of Ram's marks is equal to 20% of Rahim's marks which percent is equal to 30% of Robert's marks. If Robert's marks is 80, then find the average marks of Ram and Rahim?
Options:
A)12
B)61
C)17
D)90
E)15
Rationale: Given, 40% of Ram's marks = 20% of Rahim's marks = 30% of Robert's marks.
Given, marks of Robert = 80
30% of 80 = 30/100 * 8 = 24
Given, 40% of Ram's marks = 24.
=> Ram's marks = (24 * 100)/40 = 60
Also, 20% of Rahim's marks = 24
=> Rahim's marks = (24 * 100)/20 = 120
Average marks of Ram and Rahim = (60 + 120)/2 = 90.

Question: A 250 m long train is running at a speed of 55 Km/hr. It crossed a platform of length 520 m in ? (Its a Previously asked on SSC 2012 exam) (*without a train question it is impossible to conduct an exam, I think you got, what I mean)
Options:
A)40.4 sec
B)50.4 sec
C)40.5 sec
D)50.5 sec
E)52.0 sec
Rationale: Speed = 55 Km/hr
(to convert km/hr in to M/s)
= 55 x 5/18 M/s
Distance = 250 m + 520 m ( If questions is about train crossing a post you need to consider only the length of Train, )
= 770 m
Time = Distance / Speed
= 770 x 18 / (5 x 55)
= 50.4 sec

Question: 3 pumps, working 8 hours a day, can empty a tank in 2 days. How many hours a day must 4 pumps work to empty the tank in 1 day?
Options:
A)9
B)10
C)11
D)12
E)13
Rationale: Let the required number of working hours per day be x.
More pumps, Less working hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
Less days, More working hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
Pumps	4	:	3 :: 8 : x
Days 1	:	2
Therefore, 4 x 1 x x = 3 x 2 x 8
=> x =(3 x 2 x 8) / (4)
x = 12.

D)55
E)50
Rationale: 4th term + 12th term = 10
i.e., (a+3d)+(a+11d) = 10
Now, Sum of first 15 terms = (15/2) * [2a + (15-1)d]
= (15/2) * [2a + 14d]
= (15/2) * 10 --------------- From (1)

Question: At a certain organisation, the number of male members went up by 12% in the year 2001 from year 2000, and the number of females members went down by 5% in the same time period. If the total membership at the organisation went up by 1.2% from the year 2000 to 2001, what was the ratio of male members to female members in the year 2000?
Options:
A)1:2
B)1:3
C)2:3
D)3:2
E)4:7
Rationale: men increase by 12% ==> 1.12M = males in 2001
women decrease by 5% ==> 0.95F = women in 2001
total employees increase by 1.2% ==> 1.012*(M + F) = total number of employees in 2001
Obviously
(males in 2001) + (females in 2001) = total number of employees in 2001
1.12M + 0.95F = 1.012*(M + F)
1.12M + 0.95F = 1.012M + 1.012F
1.12M - 1.012M = 1.012F - 0.95F
0.108M = 0.062F
M/F = (0.062)/(0.108) = 62/108 = 4/7

Question: A certain list has an average of 6 and a standard deviation of d (d is positive). Which of the following pairs of data when added to the list, must result in a list of 102 data with standard deviation less than d?
Options:
A)(-6;0)
B)(0;0)
C)(0;6)
D)(0;12)
E)(6;6)
Rationale: Standard deviation shows how much variation there is from the mean. A low standard deviation indicates that the data points tend to be very close to the mean, whereas high standard deviation indicates that the data are spread out over a large range of values.
So when we add numbers , which are far from the mean we are stretching the set making SD bigger and when we add numbers which are close to the mean we are shrinking the set making SD smaller.
According to the above adding two numbers which are closest to the mean will shrink the set most, thus decreasing SD by the greatest amount.
Closest to the mean are 6 and 6 (actually these numbers equal to the mean) thus adding them will definitely shrink the set, thus decreasing SD.
Answer: E.

Question: A 250 m long train is running at a speed of 55 Km/hr. It crossed a platform of length 520 m in?
Options:
A)30.4 sec
B)40.4 sec
C)60.4 sec
D)50.4 sec
E)80.4 sec
Rationale: D
50.4 sec
Speed = 55 Km/hr
(to convert km/hr in to M/s)
= 55 x 5/18 M/s
Distance = 250 m + 520 m ( If questions is about train crossing a post you need to consider only the length of Train, )
= 770 m
Time = Distance / Speed
= 770 x 18 / (5 x 55)
= 50.4 sec

Question: An order was placed for supply of carpeat of breadth 3 metres the length of carpet was 1.44 times of breadth. Subsequently the breadth and length were increased by 25 and 40 percent respectively. At the rate of Rs.45 per square metre, what would be the increase in the cost of the carpet?
Options:
A)Rs.1020.6
B)Rs.398.8
C)Rs.437.4
D)Rs.583.2
E)Rs.354.6
Rationale: Explanation:
Initial area of the carpet = 3 x 3 x 1.44 = 12.96 sq.metres.
Increased area = 3 + 3 x 25/100 x 3 x 1.44/100 + 3 x 1.44 x 40/100
= 375 x 604.8/ 100 x 100 = 22.68 sq.metre
:. Increase in area = 22.68 – 12.96 = 9.72 sq.metre.
Cost of 9.72 sq.metre = 9.72 x 45 = Rs.437.40

Question: 6 men and 8 women can complete a work in 10 days. 26 men and 48 women can finish the same work in 2 days. 15 men and 20 women can do the same work in - days.
Options:
A)4
B)5
C)6
D)7
E)8
Rationale: Let work done by 1 man in 1 day = m and work done by 1 woman in 1 day = b
Work done by 6 men and 8 women in 1 day = 1/10
=> 6m + 8b = 1/10
=> 60m + 80b = 1 --- (1)
Work done by 26 men and 48 women in 1 day = 1/2
=> 26m + 48b = ½
=> 52m + 96b = 1--- (2)
Solving equation 1 and equation 2. We get m = 1/100 and b = 1/200
Work done by 15 men and 20 women in 1 day
= 15/100 + 20/200 =1/4
=> Time taken by 15 men and 20 women in doing the work = 4 days

Question: A car dealer sold x used cars and y new cars during May. If the number of used cars sold was 10 greater than the number of new cars sold. Which of the following expresses this relationship ?
Options:
A)x > 10y
B)x > y + 10
C)x > y – 10
D)x = y + 10
E)x = y – 10
Rationale: Given: x used cars and y new cars
Number of used cars (x) sold was 10 greater than the number of new cars (y) sold
So, x is 10 greater than y
To show their relative sizes let's write x LARGER than y to get: x and y
Our goal is to create an EQUATION. So, how do we make these two values EQUAL?
Well, we need to make the smaller value (y) bigger. 10 bigger to be exact.
So, we get x = y + 10
