  1. Let the selling price be S .

  2. Cost price = C = 0.5S

    Profit = 0.5S

    0.5S = 60

    S = 120


  3. In one day A can do 1/1 work

  4. In one day B can do 1/12 work

    In one day A+B =1/10+1/12

    =22/120 =11/60

    =60/11 = 5 5/11


  5. Let the fraction be a/b

  6. b = a+5 --I

    Also, a/b+7 =1/4

    4a = b+7 --II

    Solving I+II,

    -a+b = 5

    4a-b = 7

    3a = 12

    a = 4, therefore b = 9


  7. 45, 54

  8. sum = 45+54 = 99


  9. Let the number be x

  10. 2x-1/2x = 30

    3/2x = 30

    3x = 60

    x = 20


    66. 20x+10y = 200 --I

    x+y = 15 --II

    20x+10y =200

    (-)10x+10y = 150

    10x = 50

    x = 5






67. Apples         
Bananas        

        3                  
2

         15


15*2/3 = 10 Bananas





  1. cost exclusive of excise and tax = x

  2. excise = 0.12

    Tax= 0.04

    X+0.16x = 600

    X = 600/1.16

    = 517.24



  3. x has Rs. 6.

  4. 2/3 of x = 2/3*6 = Rs. 4

    Rs. 4 = ¼ y

    Y = 4*4 = 16


  5. x+1/x = ½

  6. (x+1/x)2 = x2 + 2x1/x +
    1/x2

    = x2 +2 +1/x2

    = x2 + 1/x2 + 2

    = ¼+2

    =1+8/4

    = 9/4



  7. x will complete 1/20 in one day.

  8. Y will complete 1/30 in one day.

    Z will complete 1/60 in one day.

    4 days = (1/20 + 1/30 + 1/60)*4

    = (3+2+1/60)*4

    = 6/60*4

    = 4/10

    = 2/5th complete

    6 days = (1/20 + 1/60)*6

    = (3+1/60)*6

    = 4/60*6

    = 4/10 = 2/5

    total work complete = 2/5+2/5 = 4/5

    work remaining = 1/5

    1/5/1/20=1/5*20/1

    = 4 days



  9. volume increase in cylinder=(volume of block
    *portion of it which is immersed)

  10. 22/7*62*4 = 5*6*7( p)

    p = 22/7*36*4

               5*6*7


    p = 22/7*24/35





  1. Let the number be x.

  2. X2-x = 870

    X2-30x+29x-870 = 0

    (x-30)(x+29) = 0

    x = 30



  3. Let the no. of eligible voters = x

  4. Then, (0.6)(.6x) = 53040

    0.36x = 53040

    x = 54000/0.36

    x = 150000



  5. Let side of the square be x.

  6. (x+3)2 = x2 + 33

    x2+6x+9=x2+33

    6x=24

    x=4



  7. A:B is 10:7.5

  8. B:C is 10:9

    A:B:C is 100:75:90

    C gets 90*88000/265=29887



  9. Expensive brand cost = 20*60=1200

  10. Expense now = 1200-450=750

    Average cost of the mixture =750/20

    Rs.30 Rs. 60

    Rs. 750/20

    450/20 150/20

    3:1



  11. Instalments paid = 1575+1575 = 3150

  12. Interest = 3150-3000 = 150

    For 2 months interest = Rs.150

    Rate of interest 2.5%p.m.

    Rate of interest p.a. = 12*2.5 = 30%



  13. 4-2.8+3.5-1+x=5

  14. x=5-4+2.8-3.5+1

    =1.3



  15. Let the marked price be 100.

  16. Selling price =60

    Commission = 3/100*60 = 1.8

    Commission(%) Commission(Rs).

    1.8                         
    12

    100                          
    ?





100*12/1.8=666.67





  1.         
    3:2:1


  2. 1.5*12+1.5*4:2*12:1*12

    18+6:24:12

    24:24:12

    2:2:1

    1800/5*2

    360*2

    Rs.720.



  3.     By alligation rule:

      10                               
    5



                      
825/100



           
13                                 
7





No. of 5 paise = 100/20*13

= 65 coins

No. of 10 paise =100/20*7

=35 coins






      83. By
alligation rule:

    & [2]



163.Production in 1998=456000 units



Sales=433200 units



Sales revenue=433200*6=2599200



Therefore advt. expense=2599200*4.33%



=112,545



Hence [1]



164. Inventory for 1994



Production in '94=330,000



Sales=297,000 therefore inventory=33,000



Inventory for 1995



Production in 1995=340,000



Sales in 1995=306,000 therefore inventory=34000



Sales for 1996=360000



Total sales=360000+34000+33000=427000 units



Hence [1]



165. Market share=80/4=20%



Sales revenue=345,800*5=1729000



Therefore market =1,729,000/0.20=86.45lac



Hence [2]

173. While X=0, Y=5, A=3, B=5



While X=2, Y=8, A=5, B=8



While X=4, Y=13, A=8, B=13



Hence [3]



174. While X=0, Y=5, A=3, B=5



If X is increased by 5 further values of Y will
not be calculated.



Hence [1]
