Adding 1 odd day, the day on 6^th March, 2005 will be 1 day after the day on 6^th March, 2004.
Given that 6^th March, 2005 is Monday. So, 6^th March, 2004 is Sunday (1 day before to Monday (6^th March, 2005)).

Q115. A, B and C can do a piece of work in 20, 30 and 60 days respectively. In how many days can A do the work if he is assisted by B and C on every third day?

Ans. 15 days
A’s 2 day’s work = (1/20)x2 = 1/10
(A + B + C)’s 1 day’s work = 1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60 = 6 = 1/10
So, Work done in 3 days = 1/10 + 1/10 = 1/5

If 1/5 work is done in 3 days, then the whole work can be done in 15 days.

Q116. A, B, C subscribe Rs. 50,000 for a business. A subscribes Rs. 4000 more than B and B Rs. 5000 more than C. Out of a total profit of Rs. 35,000, A receives

Ans. 14,700
Let the subscription of C = x. Then, B’s subscription = x + 5000 and A’s subscription = x + 5000 + 4000 = x + 9000
So, x + x + 5000 + x + 9000 = 50000
=> 3x = 36000
=> x = 12000
Subscription of A : B : C = 21000 : 17000 : 12000 = 21 : 17 : 12
So A’s share in the total profit =Rs. 35000×21/50=Rs. 14,700

n(S) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of 7
=>n(S)=7C2
=>n(S)=(7×6)/(2×1)
=>n(S)=21
n(S)=7C2n(S)=(7×6)(2×1)n(S)=21
Let E = Event of 2 balls, none of which is blue

n(E) = Number of ways of drawing 2 balls out of (2 red + 3 green) balls
=>n(E)=5C2
=>n(E)=(5×4)/(2×1)

Q120. Pipes A and B can fill a tank in 5 and 6 hours respectively. Pipe C can empty it in 12 hours. If all the three pipes are opened together, then the tank will be filled in

Ans. 3 /9/17

In one hour, Pipes A and B together can fill (1/5 + 1/6) part of the tank.
In one hour, Pipe C can empty 1/12 part of the tank.

So, if all the pipes are opened together, then in one hour (1/5 + 1/6) – 1/12 part of the tank can be filled = 17/60

So, no. of hours in which tank will be filled = 60/17 = 3 & 9/17 hourse

Q121. Find the odd man out. 41, 43, 47, 53, 61, 71, 73, 81

Ans. 81

Q122. Three pipes A, B and C can fill a cistern in 6 hours. After working at it together for 2 hours, C is closed and A and B can fill the remaining part in 7 hours. The number of hours taken by C alone to fill the cistern is

Ans. 14

A, B, C together can fill a tank in 6 hours.
=> Part filled by pipes A,B,C together in 2 hr =2/6=1/3

Remaining part =1−1/3=2/3

This remaining part of 2/3 is filled by pipes A and B in 7 hours.
Therefore, part filled by pipes A and B in 1 hr
=(2/3)/7=2/21

Part filled by pipe C in 1 hr
=(1/6−2/21)=(7−4)/42=3/42=1/14

Thus, C alone can fill the tank in 14 hours.

Q143. The ratio between the length and the breadth of a rectangular park is 3 : 2. If a man cycling along the boundary of the park at the speed of 12 km/hr completes one round in 8 minutes, then the area of the park (in sq. m) is:

Ans. 153600

Perimeter = Distance travelled in 8 minutes,
=>perimeter=(12000/60)×8=1600m.

Length is 3x and width is 2x

Perimeter of rectangle is 2(L+B)=2(3x+2x)=1600
=>x=160

So Length =160×3=480m
and Width =160×2=320m
Finally, Area=length×breadth
=480×320=153600

Q144. If A and B are complementary angles, then the value of SinAcosB+cosAsinB−tanAtanB+2sec2A−2cot2Bis:

Q147. If the sum of two numbers be multiplied by each number separately, the products so obtained are 247 and 114. The sum of the numbers is:

Ans. 19

x(x+y)=247
x2+xy ……..(i)

y(x+y)=114
xy+y2=114 ………(ii)

Adding (i) and (ii)

x2+y2+2xy=361
=>(x+y)²=(19)²
=>x+y=19

Sum of the no. is x + y = 19

Q148. If the sum of two numbers is 21 and the sum of their squares is 401, then the product of the number is?

Ans. 20
a² + b² + 2(ab)=(a+b)²
=>401 + 2ab = 21²
=>2ab = 441-401
=>2ab = 40
=>ab = 20

Q149. Coefficient of x in (x + 8)(6 -­ 3x) is

Ans. -18

(x + 8)(6 – 3x) = 6x – 3×2 + 48 – 24x
= – 3×2 – 18x + 48

∴ Coefficient of x is – 18

Q150. In a cricket match five batsmen A, B, C, D and E scored an average of 36 runs. D scored 5 more than E, E scored 8 less than A, B scored runs equal to D and E combined, and b and c scored 107 between them. How many runs did E score?

Ans. 20

Total runs scored = (36 x 5) = 180.
Let the runs scored by E be x.

Then, runs scored by D = x + 5; runs scored by A = x + 8;

Runs scored by B = x + x + 5 = 2x + 5;

Runs scored by C = (107 – B) = 107 – (2x + 5) = 102 – 2x.

So, total runs = (x + 8) + (2x + 5) + (102 – 2x) + (x + 5) + x = 3x + 120.

Therefore 3x + 120 =180
=>3X = 60
=>x = 20.
