As after the mutual transfer, the average age of the

Finance department increase by one, it means that the
age of the person who came from the Marketing
department was 20 years older than the age of the
person who was transferred from the Finance
department. Now after the transfer of the employee to
the HR department, as the average age of the
employees left in the Marketing department remained
the same, the age of the employee transferred to the
HR department, was 20 years younger than the

10. The drink must contain 10% minerals. As there are only
two drinks (A and C) with 10% minerals, the drink can
be prepared in only one way. As A and C have 30%
protein each, they can be mixed to form the drink.
Choice (1)

4.
To get calls from all the colleges, Arun should have

scored at least the highest value of cut-off in each
section, i.e., 44 + 44 + 45 + 44 = 177 and also at least
the highest value of aggregate cut-off for any institute,
i.e., 176.
Choice (2)

The minimum aggregate marks to get calls from two

colleges is 171. If he scores 50 each in three sections
he needs to score at least 21 marks in the fourth
section.
Choice (3)
6.
Four colleges have a cut-off for section C and the

remaining two colleges have a cut-off for section D.
If a student misses the cut-off in these two sections,
he/she would miss calls from all the colleges.
The maximum possible marks such a student gets is
50 + 50 + 40 + 42 = 182.
Choice (3)

The gross pay of the current employees in HR
department = 16000 5 = 80000
New gross pay of the six employees = 80,000 + 28,800

11. None of the choices (1), (2) and (3) can be used to form
the drink with 10% fat and at least 30% protein. For C
and E to form the drink with 10% fat and at least 30%
protein, if they are mixed in the ratio x : y (say)
x (50 )+ (0 )

12. The drink should have at least 60% carbohydrate.

Further in the mixture formed by B, C and E, the
proportion of B should be maximum and the other two
should be minimum to get the lowest per unit cost.
Among the given options only Choice (2) and (5) satisfy
the condition having 60% carbohydrate and of these,
choice (5) has the lowest per unit cost.
Choice (5)
13. A and B when mixed in equal proportions, the protein
30 + 20
content will be only
= 25%, which is less than
2
required. D and E when mixed in equal proportion, the
5 + 45
= 25% which is
2
less than required. Similarly B and E and C and D when
mixed in equal proportion the combination will have less
than the required percentage of minerals and
carbohydrate respectively. Only A and E when mixed in
equal proportion would yield a mixture with all the
contents in the required amount.
Choice (5)
carbohydrate content will be only

14. If one observes the values given for the different
parameters, the values that were varying with
production, i.e., value was increasing when production
increased and value decreasing when production
decreased are material, labour and operating cost of
machines. All the remaining costs, i.e., rent of building,
consumables, rates and taxes, repair and maintenance
expense and selling and marketing expenses are fixed.
Hence, there will be no change in these costs. The total
fixed cost = 1800 + 600 + 1200 + 8700 + 2100 = 14400
The cost/unit for different variable costs is as follows.
Material = `50 per unit.
Labour = `20 per unit
Operating cost of machine = `30 per unit
Total = `100 per unit
Selling price per unit = `125 per unit
14400
Total cost/unit for 2100 units is `100 +
2100
= `107
Choice (2)
15. For one product,
Selling price = `125
Variable cost = `100
_________________
Difference = `25
_________________
Now, to avoid loss, the company has to offset the fixed
cost (i.e., 14400) for which it has to produce a total of
14400
= 576 units.
Choice (3)
25
16. The reduction in selling price per unit = 5% of 125
= 6.25
New selling price = 118.75
Total fixed costs = `14400
Variable cost per unit = `100
Now the total profit increases with the increase in
number of units sold and the maximum profit is
obtained when the company sells and 3000 units.
Choice (5)
17. The given condition is that if the company sells upto
2100 units, the selling price per unit is `125 and if the
company sells 2550 units, the selling price per unit for
all the units is `120. The profit of the company
increases upto a production figure of 2100 units, from
the 2100th unit to the 2101st unit, the total profit
decreases drastically and from the 2101st unit to the
2550th unit, the profit again increases.
Hence, the profit would be maximum at the production

figure of 2100 units or at 2550 units.

students in Karate are all boys.
Only girls chose Embroidery classes. Hence a total 50
students in Embroidery are all girls.
Also 80% of students in Singing are girls.
Hence 160 students in Singing are girls and 40 are
boys.
Similarly 80% of students in Dancing are boys.
Hence 360 are boys and 90 are girls, who are in
dancing
In Painting the ratio of boys to girls is 1 : 1

The energy consumption of Geyser in a week is 7 kWh and

we know the family uses the Geyser for 2 hrs in a day. Hence
for 14 hrs in a week the energy consumption is 7 kWh.
Hence the energy consumption of a Geyser per day is 1 kWh.
Now, energy consumption of Refrigerator in a week is
14 kWh and the family uses Refrigerator throughout the day.
Hence, the energy consumption of Refrigeration per day is
2 kWh.
Similarly the energy consumption for TV in a day is 2 kWh.

1.
From A, as 60% of the newly joined employees were

not managers, the remaining 40% of the newly joined
employees were managers. It is given that
10 managers had newly joined.
40% = 10 100% = 25
Hence, A alone is sufficient.
B gives no data, it is just an assumption. Choice (1)
2.
From A and the given condition, either Babu or David

got the highest rank.
Hence, A alone is not sufficient.
10
From B and the given condition, either David or Amar

can be the highest ranker. Hence, B alone is not
sufficient.
Combining A and B, David must get the highest rank.
Choice (4)
3.
4.
It is given that, 30% of the students are boys, which

implies 70% of the students are girls. Also 10% of the
girls are athletes. 10% (70%) = 7% of the students
are female athletes.
From A, 25% of the students are athletes
Hence 25 7 = 18% of the students are boys who are
athletes. So, A alone is sufficient.
From B,
Number of boys who are athletes = 120% of the girls
who are athletes.
As 7% of the students are girls who are athletes, 120%
(7%) = 8.4% of the students are boys who are athletes.
So, B alone is also sufficient.
Choice (3)
Clearly, A alone is not sufficient, as we do not know
how many points the opponent scored.
B alone is also not sufficient, as we do not know how
many points team A scored.
Combing A and B,
If the score at the half time was say 0-25, then the
match would have ended in a tie at 35-35. So, team A
did not win. Had the score at half time been, say, 10-35,
then in the end it would have been 45-35 and team A
would have won. So, we cannot answer the question
even after combining both the statements.
Choice (5)
Again yz = 21 the different possibilities are

But we do not know if x , y, z are natural numbers or
not. For eg if y = 9, we can get.
7
xy = 18 as 29 and yz = 21 as 9
3
There will be infinite possibilities like this, so statement
A is not sufficient.
Statement B above is also not sufficient as it gives
information regarding x and z only and nothing about y.
Combining both the statements, we can conclude that
x = 6, y = 3 and z = 7. Thus z is the maximum.
2.
Using statement A alone we have SEVEN = 19 and

FIVE = 14, without knowing anything about the values
of individual alphabets, we cannot answer the question.
Using both the statements together we can conclude
that 2 (N) + I + E = 7
N = 1 and I and E are 2and 3 or 3 and 2
So F + V = 14 5 9. F and V could be 4, 5 or 5,4.
SEVEN = 19
If E = 2 and V = 5, we get S = 9 whereas if E 3 and
V = 5, we get S = 7.
So we cannot determine S uniquely.
Thus the question cannot be answered even by

As P, Q, S and T won at least one match, R and U lost all
the three matches.
As Q, S and T lost at least one match, P won all the three

In stage-, there are a total of 9 matches and so 9 wins.
Q, S and T won two matches each.
As P (the top team in stage-) did not play against
U, P played matches against Q and R.
The ninth match was between Q and U.
So the nine matches that have taken place are as follows.

As the direction of the price movement is not known,

the profits of Bala and Chandu depends upon the prices
at which they bought gold i.e., if they buy at lesser price
than that bought by Anand, their profits would be more,
if not, the profits of Anand would be more than that of
the other two. Hence the answer cannot be determined.
Choice (5)
9.
Anand buys the entire quantity at a single point of time,

whereas each of the other persons buy once every
hour. As the direction of movement of gold is not given,
we cannot compare the returns of Anand with the other
two persons.
Bala: Bala buys the same quantity of gold every time,
irrespective of the price.
Chandu: Chandu spends the same amount every time,
his buying depends on the price of gold at the time he
buys. The more the price, the lesser quantity he buys.
As his strategy is based on prices, whenever the prices
are changing, Chandus returns will be more than that
of Bala. But if there is no change in the price of gold the
returns of Bala and Chandu would be equal. Hence no
conclusion can be made.

10. On a boom day, the price of gold keeps rising, hence it

will be the least in the morning. Hence, Anand who
bought all his holdings in the morning will get the
maximum profit. Between the remaining two, Bala
bought the same quantity at every time, i.e he bought
the same quantity even at higher prices whereas
Chandu spent the same amount. Hence, Chandu
bought less quantity of gold when prices were high and
more when prices were less. Hence, Chandus returns
are more than that of Bala's. Bala will have the least
returns.
Choice (1)
Let the prices of gold at different timings be as follows.

We will look at the additional information given:

The quantity bought by Anand at 10 a.m. is the same as the
quantity he sold at 3 p.m. As it is given that Anand lost money,
we can ignore the quantity bought/sold and can conclude that
the price at 3 p.m. must be less than that at 10 a.m.
a>f
()
Similarly the quantity of gold bought/sold by Emma in each
instance is the same and it is given that Emma made a
profit. Hence we can conclude that (c + f) > (a + d) ()
Also using similar logic in case of David, we conclude that
(d + e + f) > (a + b + c) ()
It is given that the price increased from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
e<f
(V)
It is given that price at 12 noon was lower than the opening
price c < a (V)
From (i) and () we can conclude that c > d (V)
From (), () and (V) we conclude that e > b (V)
Hence a > f > e > b and a > c > d a is the highest.

f = e = k.
From equation (1), a + e + d + g = 2 (b+ f + c)
a + k + d + 3k = 2 (b + c) + 2k
a + d = 2(8k a) 2k.
3a + d = 14k (3)

d = 50% a.

W3 and W9 are also allotted a shift earlier than W6.
Again as W3 is allotted a shift lower than W2, if we allot
the afternoon shift for W3 and W9; W5 and W7 being one
shift earlier than W6, we will have four workers in the
Afternoon shift if W6 is allotted the Evening shift. Thus
the only shift that can be alloted to W6 is the Night shift.

Again with D as Captain in Match 5, A must have
captained the side in Match 2 for A cannot be the

In case of Z:
A sum total of 18 is possible when two 6s and one 5
is there in addition to 1.
It is given that at least 40 families own both a

Refrigerator as well as a Air conditioner.
b + d is at least 40.
We have to find the maximum value of a.
a will be maximum when (b + d) is minimum.
i.e., when (b + d) is 40.
Now a+ c+ (b + d) + 24 + 20 + 26 = 120.
a + c = 120 70 (b + d)
a + c = 10.
The maximum value of a is 10, when c is 0.
Thus at most 10 families owes a refrigerator and a LCD
TV but not an Air Conditioner

Now, if L4 delivers his lecture on Wednesday, then L3
cannot deliver his lecture on any of the given days.
[Since L3 delivers a lecture only if L2 delivered a lecture
on the preceding day and L3 and L4 do not deliver
lectures on consecutive days.]
Thus L4 delivers the lecture on Tuesday.
Now, the only day on which L3 could have delivered the

Option B is true. If V and U are in the same category it
must be for Debate. We know that U being in debate
implies R is not in elocution. Again since only one

Hockey
Those playing exactly 3 games = g

Those playing exactly 1 game = a + b + c
Those playing exactly 2 games = d + e + f
Those playing at least 2 games = d + e + f + g
It is given that d + e + f + g = 18 (1) and
(a + b + c) + (d + e + f + g) = 30 (2).
Therefore a + b + c = 12.
Now (a + b + c) = 3 (g).
or, 3g = 12
or, g = 4.
Therefore d + e + f = 18 4 = 14.
Thus the number of members playing exactly two
games is 14

Choice (3)
2.
If the road connecting A to E is under repair, then to

incur minimum cost, one must board a bus going via the
route A D F G H. Since the total distance travelled
along this route is the least.
The cost incurred = 5 + 8 + 4 (12) = `61

It is given that M6 and M8 belonged to UK where as M7

belonged to Turkey.
Now M5 and M9 were from different countries and M9
did not belong to France or Switzerland.
So M9 belonged to either Germany or Turkey.
Now M1 and M3 belonged to the same country and so
did M2 and M4.
Let us consider two cases.
QBR (Miscellaneous)
1.
Given that the number of people rightly reported is 275.

This includes people under C3 and C4.
C3+ C4 = 275 .......... (1)
16
Number of people wrongly reported = 450 275 = 175

C1+ C2 = 175 . (2)
Given the number of infected people is 50% that of
non-infected
Number of infected people = 150 = C1 + C4 . (3)
And the number of non-infected people = 300
= C1 + C3 . (4)
Required difference is between C2 and C4, obtained
by (2) (3) C2 C4 = 175 150 = 25 Choice (2)
Given that for every `2 increase in the selling price

per ball, the number of balls sold decreases by 20.
If the selling price of each ball is increased k times,
selling price = `59 + 2k.
Profit per ball = (59 + 2k) 50 = 9 + 2k.
Number of balls sold = 700 20k.
Profit obtained = (9 + 2k) (700 +20k).
Profit = 10 ((9 + 2k) (70 2k))
= 10 (630 18k + 140k 4k2)
= 10 (630 (4k2 122k))

If 2k = 30, profit = 10 ((9 + 30) (70 30)) = 10 39 40
= `115600
If 2k = 31, profit = 10 ((9 + 31) (70 31)) = 10 40 39
= `115600
For maximum profit,
Selling price = 59 + 2k = 59 + 30 = `89 or 59 + 31 = `90
When selling price is `89, balls sold = 700 300 = 400
When selling price is `90, balls sold = 700 320 = 380

Hence only three groups can be formed.
Also given P, S are in same group and each group has
atleast one JSE and one SSE.
As both P and S are JSE. The team should have one SSE.
Given R is in a group of 3 people
Hence the three groups should have 3, 3 and
2 members in each.
Now considering the condition one JSE and one SSE in
each group we get the following possibilities.
Group 1:
Group 2:
Group 3:

The times of India was read by 48 families.
B + d + f = (2)
The Telegraph was read by 45 families.
C + e + f = 36 (3)
Adding equations (1), (2) and (3), we get A + B + C + 2
(d + e+ f) = 130
Again A + B + C + d + e + f = 90

Again d + 120 = 180
d = 60

From (1), A + e = 300 and from (2), e +B = 340.
Now A + e + e + B = 400 [ the total number of persons

14. Let us consider P = 1. When there is one goat and one

tiger then the tiger eats the goat and gets transformed
into a goat and stays happily in the forest.
Now if P = 2 when there are two tigers. Now, if one of
the tigers eat the goat then it gets transformed into a
goat and then the second tiger would kill it. Hence when
two tigers are there they would not kill the goat.
Let P = 3. When three tigers are there. One of the three
tigers kills the goat and becomes a goat. Hence the
remaining tigers would not kill the goat.
Hence when the tigers are odd numbered then they
would kill the goat, else the goat is not eaten by any
tiger.

5.
The least difference between the marriage dates of any

two couples was between the couple who got married
Given Team I scored maximum number of points, 364 is at the 15th place and Team A got 361 points.
Given the sum of the points scored by teams at (13 + 14 + 15) is 1046.
364 + 361 + x = 1046
x = 321
Hence Team A is in the 14th place.
As team C got 218 points and is in the 10th place and Team O got 251 points.
Hence Team O should be placed between 11 -13.
Given the ascending order of teams according to their points is O J F.
Hence Team O is in the 11th place, team J is in the 12th place and Team F is in the 13th place with 321 points.
Now we know the points of the teams in the 10th and the 11th place. Hence the points of the team in the 12th place is 284 points
(from 10 + 11 + 12 = 753).
As Team N and team B got 108 and 165 points respectively less than team F. Team N got 213 points and Team B got 156 points.
The clue 7 + 8 + 9 = 590 implies that we can calculate the points of the third team in the above group.
[We know N is one of the teams in the group]
Hence 213 + 182 + x = 590.
x = 195 points.
Hence Team N is in the 9th place.
The clue Team E got 18 points less than Team N, implies that team E is in the 8th place.
From the clue 4 + 5 + 6 = 412, we know B is one of teams in the group.
Hence 116 + 156 + x = 412
x = 140
Hence Team B is in the 6th place.
The clue Team H got 4 points more than Team M, implies that
Team K is in the 5th place.
From the clue 1 + 2 + 3 = 302, we get
96 + x + 4 + x = 302
x = 101
Hence Team M got 101 points and is in the 2nd place.
Therefore Team H got 105 points and is in the 3rd place.
The final arrangement is as follows.

Choice (4)
Solution for questions 14 and 15:

14. Given X gave the presentation before T, R gave the
presentation before V but after U, also W gave the
presentation after P and S but before U and X.
So, Q, U, X, T, R and V (need not be in the same order)
conducted the seminars after W. Hence W should be
giving his presentation in group 1 with P and S.
Choice (1)

x = the ratio of the persons killed to the persons injured.

The required ratio is the highest for other types of
accidents.
Choice (2)

wheelers is
100
The accident severity index for two wheelers is 40.
i.e. for every 100 accidents, 40 persons are killed.
So for 21000 accidents 210 40 = 8400 persons are
killed.
Choice (3)
DI (Distribution)
As policies mature in between 1997 and 2002 and a policy

matures on Feb 29th, the policy should mature on 29th Feb
2000.
Now the policy which matures on Jan 10th matured after
Feb 29th. Hence the policy on Jan 10th can be in 1997 or in
2002.
But from one of the clues the policy on May 21st is the last
and the Sep 17th policy is immediately before the May 21st
policy.
Hence the policies on Sep 17th and Jan 10th should mature
the same year.
The policy on August 8th is before Feb 29th.
Hence August 8th policy is for either 98 or 99.

are from USA.
Also the extreme ends are occupied by friends from USA.
F
S
UK USA
USA
G
USA
USA
USA
Now the friends from UK are separated by atleast four friends. So the other friend from UK can come either in the 2nd or the
4th position from the right. But from one of the clues P is from Australia and is in between and J. Hence we can get it as.
USA

Now D got the 4th rank D gets less than C. But the
condition that one pair should have same marks is not
satisfied. Hence E should get the highest marks.
So E > C > A
Now D cannot have more marks than C as D should have
marks less than 3 students, hence C > D.
As the first and the last ranked students do not have same
marks as any other student, B should get the same marks
as 'C'.
Hence all the conditions are satisfied and the final
arrangement is E > C = B> D > A.
1.
E got the highest marks.
Choice (4)
2.
B and C got the same marks.
Choice (2)
3.
The descending order is ECBDA.
Choice (1)
Given at least 2 movies were released before R and there is

one movie released between S and T.
Hence R cannot be released on the 3rd or the 4th week of the
month. It can only be released on the last week.
Therefore Q is released on the 4th week. As S and T have
one movie released between them, P is released on the 2nd
week.
Hence the final order would be as S/T, P, T/S, Q, R.
Raju is 3 places away to the left of Qureshi.

Solutions for 1 to 3:
1.
From the clue, D got less than 3 other students hence D got
the 4th rank.
From the other clue E > C > A.
Let us assume B got the highest marks. Then the order is B
> E > C > A.
From the table we can identify that the profit/ton in 2000

is the highest for Steel. From the line graph it is clear
that the production of Steel is the highest.
Hence the profit of Steel should be the highest.
