30% loss
Step 1
Since ratio of two variants of teas is in ration 5:1, lets assume that shopkeeper bought 5p
and p kgs of two variants respectively
Step 2
Cost Price, C.P. = (5p 30) + (p 18) = 168 p
Selling price, S.P. = (5p + p) 19.6 = 117.6 p
Step 3
Loss = Cost Price - Selling Price
= 168p - 117.6p
= 50.4p
Step 4
Loss % = (

25th April
Step 1
According to the question, John plays hockey every 3rd day and plays f ootball every 4 th
day.
Step 2
We can say that the number of days af ter which he plays hockey has to be a multiple of 3.
Step 3
Similarly, the number of days af ter which he plays f ootball has to be a multiple of 4.
Step 4
T heref ore, the number of days af ter which he plays both hockey and f ootball has to be
multiple of both hockey and f ootball.
Since we have to f ind the earliest date when he plays both game, we need to f ind a number
which is multiple of both 3 and 4 and should as early (small) as possible. T his indicates that
we need LCM of these two numbers.
Step 5
LCM of 3 and 4 = 12
T hus, John will play both hockey and f ootball af ter 12 days.
Step 6
John played both hockey and f ootball on 13th April, he will play both games af ter 12 days
on 25th April.

Step 1
Let's assume, name of the people are p1, p2, p3,...... p5, p6.
Now, p1 will shake hands with 5 other people. T otal = 5 hand shakes.
Now, p2 will also shake hand with another 5 people, but hand shake of p2-p1 is already
counted above, hence only 4 new hand shakes.
Similarly, f or p3, hand shakes of p3-p1 and p3-p2 are already counted, hence 3 new hand
shakes.
Similarly new hand shakes f or p4, ..., p6 can be calculated by reducing hand shakes by one.
Step 2
T heref ore total number of hand shakes,
=6+5+4+3+2+1
= 21 hand shakes.
Step 3
T hus, there will be 21 hand shakes altogether.

Step 1
If the average marks of 18 students was 60, then
Sum of all the marks of the students = 18 x 60 = 1080
Step 2
T o f ind out the average of the other 16 students, we subtract the marks of Sandra and
Helen
T otal marks of other 16 students = 1080 - 61 - 91 = 928

20 cm
Step 1
Lets assume the length of longest straight line which can be drawn on a paper of size 16
cm X 12 cm is L cm, as shown in the f ollowing f igure.

Step 2
Now in right angled triangle ABC
L 2 = 162 + 122
L 2 = 256 + 144
L 2 = 400
L 2 = 202
L = 20 cm
Step 3
T heref ore the length of longest straight line which can be drawn on a paper of size 16 cm X
12 cm is 20 cm.

(6) d. 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM

Step 1
According to question the number of employees who work f rom 10:00 AM to 01:00 PM = 19
employees
and the number of employees who work f rom 12:00 PM to 02:00 PM = 8 employees.
T heref ore the number of employees who work f rom 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM = 19 + 8 = 27
employees.
T he number of employees who work f rom 01:00 PM to 02:00 PM = 17 employees.
Step 2
Computers are likely to be used most at the time when most number of employees work.
From 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM, most number of employees work and hence the computers are
likely to be used most f rom 12:00 PM to 01:00 PM.

Step 1
Let us assume that Richard bought x number of hens.
Since Richard bought a total of 20 hens and ducks.
T heref ore number of ducks bought by him = 20 - x
Step 2
Since he got a discount of $ 0.90 f or each hen.
T heref ore total saving on x hens = 0.90x
Step 3
Since he got a discount of $ 1.20 f or each duck.
T heref ore total saving on (20 - x) ducks = 1.20(20 - x)
Step 4
Since he saved $20.70 in total.
T heref ore 0.90x + 1.20(20 - x) = 20.70
0.90x + 24 - 1.20x = 20.70
0.90x - 1.20x = 20.70 - 24
(0.90 - 1.20)x = -3.3
-0.3x = -3.3
x=

-0.3

x = 11

T heref ore number of ducks bought by him = 20 - x = 20 - 11 = 9

Step 1
Let's assume that the age of Sharon is x.
Step 2
It is given that Daniel is 7 years younger than Sharon.
T heref ore, Daniel's age is x - 7 .
Step 3
Sharon is 3 years older than David.
T heref ore, David's age is x - 3.
Step 4
It is also given that Karen is 4 years older than Daniel.
T heref ore, Karen's age = Daniel's age + 4
= (x - 7) + 4
=x- 7+4
= x -3
Step 5
T hus, the combined age of all of them = x + (x - 7) + (x - 3) + (x -3)
= 4x -13
Step 6
T he birthdays of all of them at the same day, so total age should be integer. T heref ore
total ages should be such that, (T otal Age + 13) should be divisible by 4.
Step 7
Let's add 13 to all of the options.
We notice that only (51 + 13) is divisible by 4.
T hus, the combined age of all of them is 51 and hence the correct answer is b.

(13) c. 11 y = 22 x
Step 1
If you look at the question caref ully, you will notice that

x
y

by cross multiplying both sides

x

22

22

11

can be written as: 11x = 22y

11

Step 2
If you observe all of options caref ully, you will notice that if 11x = 22y, then 11 y is never
equal to 22 x and hence the incorrect answer is 11 y = 22 x.
