Question	Answer	Detailed Solution
Simplify: 24 ÷ 4 × 2 + 8 − 4 =? (1) 1 (2) 7 (3) 16 (4) 56	(3) 16	Using BODMAS rule: 24 ÷ 4 = 6, 6 × 2 = 12, 12 + 8 = 20, 20 − 4 = 16.
The difference of the greatest and the smallest of the fractions 1/2, 8/11, 7/8, 7/9, 5/6 is: (1) 3/8 (2) 6/7 (3) 7/9 (4) 1/3	(2) 6/7	The greatest fraction is 7/8 and the smallest is 8/11. The difference is 13/88.
The sum of LCM and HCF of two numbers is 854. If the LCM is 60 times the HCF and one of the numbers is 70, then the other number is: (1) 160 (2) 164 (3) 168 (4) 172	(3) 168	Let HCF be x, so LCM = 60x. The sum of HCF and LCM is 854, so x + 60x = 854. Solving gives x = 14, and the other number is 168.
The present age of Harish is 8 times the sum of the ages of his two sons. After 8 years, his age will be twice the sum of the ages of his sons. What is Harish’s present age? (1) 31 (2) 32 (3) 33 (4) 34	(2) 32	Let the sum of the ages of Harish’s sons be x. Currently, Harish’s age is 8x. Solving 8x + 8 = 2(x + 16) gives x = 4. So Harish’s age is 32.
In an examination, it is required to get 300 marks to pass. A student gets 225 marks and is declared fail by 10% marks. What are the maximum marks of the examination? (1) 700 (2) 750 (3) 800 (4) 850	(2) 750	The student’s score is 90% of the passing marks. Solving 0.9x = 225 gives x = 750.
In a class of 40 students, the ratio of boys to girls is 3:2. The average marks scored by boys is 42, and that by girls is 46. What is the average marks scored by the whole class? (1) 43.4 (2) 43.6 (3) 43.8 (4) 44	(2) 43.6	Let the number of boys be 3x and the number of girls be 2x. Since 3x + 2x = 40, x = 8, so there are 24 boys and 16 girls. Average = (24 × 42) + (16 × 46) / 40 = 43.6.
The sum of three numbers is 136. If the ratio between the first number and the second number is 2:3, and that between the second and the third number is 5:3, then the first number is: (1) 42 (2) 40 (3) 36 (4) 32	(2) 40	Let the numbers be 2x, 3x, and (9x/5) respectively. Given their sum is 136, solving gives x = 20. The first number is 2x = 40.
An item is sold for Rs. 504 after allowing a 20% discount and still a profit of 5% has been earned. The marked price is how much more than the cost price? (1) Rs. 120 (2) Rs. 135 (3) Rs. 150 (4) Rs. 160	(3) Rs. 150	Let the cost price be x. The selling price is 1.05x, so x = 504 / 1.05 = 480. Marked price is 630, difference = Rs. 150.

The volume of a cylinder having a base radius of 3 cm is 396 cm³. Find its curved surface area (in cm²). (Use π = 22/7). (1) 280 (2) 301.5 (3) 264 (4) 320.6	(2) 301.5	The volume of the cylinder is given by V = πr²h: 396 = (22/7) × 3² × h, solving gives h = 7 cm. The curved surface area is CSA = 2πrh = 2 × (22/7) × 3 × 7 = 301.5 cm².
A tap can fill a tank in 6 hours. After half the tank is filled, three more similar taps are opened. What is the total time taken to fill the tank completely? (1) 4 hours (2) 5 hours (3) 3 hours 30 minutes (4) 3 hours 45 minutes	(4) 3 hours 45 minutes	The first tap fills half the tank in 3 hours. After that, four taps are opened, so the remaining half is filled at four times the rate. This takes 0.75 hours. Total time = 3 + 0.75 = 3 hours 45 minutes.
A train running at the speed of 80 km/h crosses a 350 m long tunnel in 36 seconds. What is the length of the train (in meters)? (1) 350 (2) 380 (3) 420 (4) 450	(3) 420	The speed of the train is 80 km/h = 22.22 m/s. The total distance covered in 36 seconds is 22.22 × 36 = 800 meters. Subtracting the tunnel length (350 m), the train length is 800 − 350 = 450 meters.
If the mean of 3, 4, 9, 2k, 10, 8, 6, and (k + 6) is 8, and the mode of 2, 2, 3, 2p, (2p + 1), 4, 4, 5, and 6 (where p is a natural number) is 4, then the value of k − 2p is: (1) 0 (2) 1 (3) 2 (4) 3	(1) 0	The mean equation gives: (46 + 3k) / 8 = 8 ⇒ k = 6. For the mode to be 4, 2p = 4 ⇒ p = 2. Therefore, k − 2p = 6 − 4 = 2.
In triangle ABC, points D and E are on AB and AC, respectively, such that DE is parallel to BC. If AD = 6 cm, DB = 4 cm, and AE = 9 cm, then the length of EC (in cm) is: (1) 7 (2) 6.4 (3) 6 (4) 5.5	(2) 6.4	Since DE is parallel to BC, triangles ADE and ABC are similar. Therefore, AD/AB = AE/AC ⇒ 6/(6 + 4) = 9/(9 + EC). Solving gives EC = 6.4 cm.
If sin A = 4/5, then (3 − tan A)(2 + cos A) is: (1) 12/5 (2) 13/3 (3) 13/5 (4) 3	(2) 13/3	Using sin A = 4/5, we calculate tan A = 4/3 and cos A = 3/5. Substituting into the given expression: (3 − tan A)(2 + cos A) = (3 − 4/3) × (2 + 3/5) = 5/3 × 13/5 = 13/3.
A man can row a boat at 8 km/h in still water. If the speed of the water current is 2 km/h and it takes him 2 hours to row to a place and come back, how far off (in km) is the place? (1) 7.5 (2) 6 (3) 9.5 (4) 10	(1) 7.5	Let d be the distance to the place. The speed downstream is 8 + 2 = 10 km/h, and upstream it is 8 − 2 = 6 km/h. Total time is: d/10 + d/6 = 2. Solving for d: (3d + 5d)/30 = 2 ⇒ 8d = 60 ⇒ d = 7.5 km.
