Question 11 of 50
A student scored 112 marks. The passing marks were 32 less than his score. What is the passing percentage if maximum marks = 200?
✅ Passing marks = 112 − 32 = 80. Passing % = (80/200)×100 = 40%.
Question 12 of 50
In an examination, 49 students failed in English, 36 failed in Hindi, and 15 failed in both. Total passed = 450. How many students appeared?
✅ Failed in at least one = 49+36−15 = 70. Total = 450+70 = 520.
Question 13 of 50
Fresh grapes contain 80% water. Dry grapes contain 10% water. Weight of dry grapes = 500 kg. Find the original fresh weight.
✅ Dry pulp in 500 kg = 90% × 500 = 450 kg. This is 20% of fresh grapes. Fresh weight = 450/0.20 = 2250 kg.
Question 14 of 50
Price of wheat increases by 25%. By how much % must a family reduce consumption to keep expenditure the same?
✅ Reduction % = (25/125)×100 = 20%.
Question 15 of 50
In a class of 40 students and 5 teachers, each student got sweets = 15% of total students, each teacher = 20% of total students. Total sweets?
✅ Each student gets 15% of 40 = 6 sweets → 40×6=240. Each teacher gets 20% of 40 = 8 sweets → 5×8=40. Total = 240+40 = 280.
Question 16 of 50
In an office, 40% of staff is female. 40% of females and 60% of males voted for a candidate. What % votes did the candidate get?
✅ Female=40%, Male=60%. Votes = 40%×40% + 60%×60% = 16% + 36% = 52%.
Question 17 of 50
A tank full of petrol lasts 10 days. If 25% more is used daily, how many days will it last?
✅ New daily usage = 1.25x. Days = Total/(1.25x) = 10x/1.25x = 8 days.
Question 18 of 50
Due to a 20% reduction in the price of sugar, a person buys 5 kg more for ₹100. Find the original price per kg.
✅ Let original price = p. New price = 0.8p. 100/0.8p − 100/p = 5 → 125/p − 100/p = 5 → 25/p = 5 → p = ₹5.
Question 19 of 50
The price of ghee is increased by 32%. A family reduces its consumption so that increase in expenditure is only 10%. If original consumption was 10 kg, new consumption is:
✅ New expenditure = 1.10 × old. New price = 1.32 × old. New consumption = 1.10/1.32 × 10 = 8.33 kg ≈ 8.33 kg.
Question 20 of 50
The ratio of boys to girls in a school is 3:2. 20% of boys and 25% of girls are scholarship holders. % of students who do NOT get scholarship is:
✅ Let boys=60, girls=40 (total=100). Scholarship: 20%×60=12 boys + 25%×40=10 girls = 22. Non-scholarship = 100−22 = 78%.
💰 Section 3 — Profit, Loss & Discount (Q21–Q30)
Question 21 of 50
A person buys a book for ₹200 and sells it for ₹225. What is his gain percent?
✅ Profit = 225−200 = ₹25. Gain% = (25/200)×100 = 12.5%.
Question 22 of 50
If the cost price of 20 articles equals the selling price of 18 articles, find the profit percent.
✅ CP of 20 = SP of 18. Profit% = (20−18)/18 × 100 = 2/18 × 100 = 11.11%.
Question 23 of 50
A man sells two radios for ₹2000 each — gains 16% on one, loses 16% on the other. Net result?
✅ When same SP, equal gain/loss % → always a loss. Loss% = (16)²/100 = 256/100 = 2.56% loss.
Question 24 of 50
A gold bracelet is sold for ₹14,500 at a loss of 20%. What is the cost price?
✅ SP = 80% of CP → CP = 14500×100/80 = ₹18,125.
Question 25 of 50
If the selling price is ₹530, the gain is 20 more than the loss when SP is ₹475. Find CP.
✅ (530−CP) − (CP−475) = 20 → 530−CP−CP+475 = 20 → 1005−2CP = 20 → 2CP = 985 → CP = ₹500 (approx ₹492.5). Closest: ₹490 using equation exactly: 2CP = 985, CP = 492.5. So ₹490 is closest option but exact = ₹492.5. Correct: None exactly, but ₹490 is nearest.
Question 26 of 50
A shopkeeper marks price 20% above cost and allows 15% discount. His profit % is:
✅ SP = 120% of CP × 85/100 = 120×85/100 % of CP = 102% of CP. Profit% = 2%.
Question 27 of 50
A dishonest dealer sells at cost price but uses 920 g instead of 1 kg. His gain % is:
✅ Gain% = (True wt − False wt)/False wt × 100 = (1000−920)/920 × 100 = 80/920 × 100 ≈ 8.7%.
Question 28 of 50
Two successive discounts of 20% and 10% are equivalent to a single discount of:
✅ Single discount = r₁+r₂ − r₁r₂/100 = 20+10 − (20×10)/100 = 30 − 2 = 28%.
Question 29 of 50
A merchant purchases a wristwatch for ₹450 and fixes its list price so that after 10% discount he earns 20% profit. List price is:
✅ Required SP = 120% of 450 = ₹540. SP = MP × 90/100 → MP = 540×100/90 = ₹600.
Question 30 of 50
The profit earned after selling an article for ₹625 equals the loss when sold for ₹435. The cost price is:
✅ 625−CP = CP−435 → 2CP = 1060 → CP = ₹530.
🏦 Section 4 — Simple & Compound Interest (Q31–Q38)
Question 31 of 50
A sum becomes 4 times in 20 years at SI. Find the rate of interest.
✅ SI = 3P (since it becomes 4P). Rate = SI×100/(P×T) = 3P×100/(P×20) = 15% per annum.
Question 32 of 50
A sum becomes 2 times in 5 years at SI. In how many years will the same sum become 8 times?
✅ n times in T years → T₂ = T₁ × (m−1)/(n−1) = 5 × (8−1)/(2−1) = 5 × 7 = 35 years.
Question 33 of 50
Simple interest for ₹1500 is ₹50 in 4 years and ₹80 in 8 years. Find the rate of SI.
✅ SI for 4 yr = ₹50 → SI for 1 yr = ₹12.50. Rate = 12.50×100/1500 = 0.833%. However, checking: SI for 4yr=50 and 8yr=80 (difference = 30 for 4 yr). Rate = SI/(P×T) × 100 = 30/(1500×4)×100 = 0.5% per annum.
Question 34 of 50
Compound interest on ₹1,000 at 10% per annum for 2 years is:
✅ CI = P[(1+r/100)ⁿ − 1] = 1000[(1.1)² − 1] = 1000[1.21−1] = 1000×0.21 = ₹210.
Question 35 of 50
Alok lent money: 1/3 at 7%, 1/4 at 8%, rest at 10% SI. Total interest = ₹510. Find the total sum lent.
✅ Fractions: 1/3 at 7%, 1/4 at 8%, (5/12) at 10% (per year). Weighted rate = (1/3)×7 + (1/4)×8 + (5/12)×10 = 7/3 + 2 + 50/12 = 2.33+2+4.17 = 8.5%. Sum = 510/0.085 = ₹6,000.
Question 36 of 50
A certain sum at SI amounts to ₹1125 in 4 years and ₹1200 in 7 years. Find the principal.
✅ SI for 3 years = 1200−1125 = ₹75. SI per year = ₹25. SI for 4 years = ₹100. P = 1125−100 = ₹1000 (approx). Check: P+4×25 = 1125 → P = ₹1025. Actually P = Amount − SI = 1125 − (25×4) = 1125 − 100 = ₹1025. Closest answer: ₹1000.
Question 37 of 50
The difference between SI and CI for ₹5000 at 10% for 2 years is:
✅ Difference = P(R/100)² = 5000×(0.10)² = 5000×0.01 = ₹50.
Question 38 of 50
A sum of ₹7700 is divided so that SI on first part at 20% for 5 years = SI on second part at 9% for 6 years. Find the first part.
✅ P₁×20×5 = P₂×9×6 → 100P₁ = 54P₂ → P₁/P₂ = 54/100 = 27/50. P₁ = 7700×27/77 = ₹2700. Nearest option: ₹2800. Using exact: P₁ = 7700 × 27/(27+50) = 7700×27/77 = 2700. Closest listed: ₹2,800.

Question 39 of 50
A and B together can do a work in 12 days. A alone in 18 days. In how many days can B alone finish it?
✅ B’s work = 1/12 − 1/18 = 3/36 − 2/36 = 1/36. B alone = 36 days.
Question 40 of 50
A pipe fills a tank in 20 min. Another empties it in 30 min. If both are open, the tank will be filled in:
✅ Net fill = 1/20 − 1/30 = 1/60. Time = 60 minutes.
Question 41 of 50
A train 300 m long crosses a signal pole in 18 seconds. Its speed in km/h is:
✅ Speed = 300/18 m/s = 16.67 m/s × 3.6 = 60 km/h.
Question 42 of 50
Speed of a boat in still water = 10 km/h; stream speed = 4 km/h. Time to cover 42 km upstream is:
✅ Upstream speed = 10−4 = 6 km/h. Time = 42/6 = 7 hours.
Question 43 of 50
Two trains of 200 m and 150 m run in opposite directions at 60 km/h and 40 km/h. Time to cross each other:
✅ Relative speed = 100 km/h = 100×5/18 = 250/9 m/s. Distance = 350 m. Time = 350÷(250/9) = 350×9/250 = 12.6 sec.
Question 44 of 50
If A runs at 8 km/h and B runs at 6 km/h in a race of 1 km, A wins by:
✅ Time taken by A to finish 1000 m = 1000/8 = 125 sec. In 125 sec, B covers 6×125/3.6 = 208.3 m? Wait, using same units: In time A covers 8 units, B covers 6 units. So in 1000 m race, B covers (6/8)×1000 = 750 m. A wins by 1000−750 = 250 m.
Question 45 of 50
Area of a trapezium with parallel sides 12 cm and 8 cm, and height 6 cm is:
✅ Area = ½ × (sum of parallel sides) × height = ½ × (12+8) × 6 = ½ × 20 × 6 = 60 cm².
Question 46 of 50
Volume of a cylinder with radius 7 cm and height 10 cm (π = 22/7) is:
✅ V = πr²h = (22/7) × 7² × 10 = (22/7) × 49 × 10 = 22 × 7 × 10 = 1540 cm³.
Question 47 of 50
The diagonal of a square is 10√2 cm. Its area is:
✅ Area = d²/2 = (10√2)²/2 = 200/2 = 100 cm². (Side = d/√2 = 10; Area = 10² = 100.)
Question 48 of 50
A and B entered into partnership. A invested ₹8,000 for 6 months and B invested ₹6,000 for 8 months. Profit = ₹7,400. A’s share is:
✅ A : B = 8000×6 : 6000×8 = 48000 : 48000 = 1:1. A’s share = ₹3,700.
Question 49 of 50
A mixture contains alcohol and water in ratio 4:1. If 5 litres of water is added, the ratio becomes 4:3. Original mixture quantity is:
✅ Alcohol=4x, Water=x. After adding 5L water: 4x/(x+5) = 4/3 → 12x = 4x+20 → 8x=20 → x=2.5. Original = 5x = 12.5 L. Hmm, not matching options exactly. Let’s recheck: 4x/(x+5)=4/3 → 3×4x = 4×(x+5) → 12x = 4x+20 → x=2.5 → total = 5×2.5 = 12.5. Nearest option: 10 litres (but correct answer is 12.5L). Best option listed: 10.
Question 50 of 50
