Formula Used:  

Average = Sum of observation/No. of observation

Calculation:

Let the numbers be n,n+2,n+4 & n+6

odd numbers n = 1,3,5,7----

Using the above formula-

⇒ 42 = $\frac{n+n+2+n+4+n+6}{4}$

⇒ 168 = 4n + 12

⇒ 168 - 12 = 4n

⇒ n = 156/4 = 39

Hence, A, B, C & D are 39, 41, 43, & 45 respectively. 

⇒ B × D = 41 × 45 = 1845

∴ The correct answer is 1845.

Formula Used:

X% = X/100

Calculation:

Let the number be x 

⇒ $\frac{3}{5}\times \frac{60}{100}\times x= 36$

⇒ $\frac{9x}{25}=36$

⇒ $x = 100$

∴ The correct answer is 100.

Concept Used:

LCM - Smallest multiple that two numbers have in common.

Calculation:

Let two numbers be 2x & 3x respectively.

LCM (2x, 3x) = 6x

⇒ 6x = 150

⇒ x = 25

⇒ 2x = 2 × 25 = 50, 3x = 3 × 25 = 75

∴ The numbers are 50 and 75.

Calculation:

Let the no. of tennis balls purchased = x

According to question

⇒ $\frac{450}{x}-\frac{450}{x+5}=15$

⇒ $\frac{450(x +5)-450x}{x(x+5)}=15$

⇒ $450x-450x+2250=15x^{2}+75x$

⇒ $15x^{2}+75x-2250=0$

⇒ x² + 5x - 150 = 0

⇒ x² + 15x - 10x - 150 = 0 

⇒ x(x + 15) - 10(x + 15) = 0

⇒ (x + 15)(x - 10) = 0

⇒ x = -15, x = 10

∴ The correct answer is 10.

Calculation:

Let water drained be equal to D liters.

Water left in sink = D - 6

⇒ Total water = Water drained + Water left 

⇒ Total Water = D + D - 6 = 2D - 6

⇒ 2D - 6 = 12

⇒ D = 18/2 = 9 liters 

∴ The correct answer is 9 liters.

Shortcut Trick

Age of Newcomer = Age of Left Student − (Total Students × Decrease in Average)

⇒ Age of Newcomer = 18 years − (24 × 1 month)

⇒ Age of Newcomer = 18 years − 24 months

⇒ Age of Newcomer = 18 years − 2 years = 16 years

∴ The correct answer is 16 years.

Alternate Method

Given:

⇒ Total number of students = 24

⇒ Age of student who left = 18 years

⇒ Decrease in average age = 1 month

Calculations:

⇒ Total decrease in age = 24 × 1 month = 24 months

⇒ Total decrease in years = 24 ÷ 12 = 2 years

⇒ Age of Newcomer = Age of Left Student − Total Decrease

⇒ Age of Newcomer = 18 years − 2 years

⇒ Age of Newcomer = 16 years

∴ The correct answer is 16 years.

Additional Information

Replacement Formula

New Value = Replaced Value + (Total Number × Change in Average). Use '+' for increase and '−' for decrease.

Average Concept

Average = Sum of observations ÷ Number of observations. When one person is replaced, the total count remains constant.

Unit Conversion

Always ensure units are consistent. 12 months = 1 year. 24 months = 2 years.

Shortcut Trick

Remaining work after 20 days = (30 − 20) ÷ 30 = 1/3.

A finishes this 1/3 work in 20 days.

Time taken by A alone to finish full work = 20 × 3 = 60 days.

∴ The correct answer is 60 days.

Alternate Method

Given:

Time taken by (A + B) = 30 days.

Work done by (A + B) in 20 days.

Remaining work done by A in 20 days.

Formula Used:

Total Work = Efficiency × Time

Remaining Work = Total Work − Work Done

Calculations:

⇒ Let Total Work = LCM(30, 20) × something or just 60 units.

⇒ Efficiency of (A + B) = 60 ÷ 30 = 2 units/day.

⇒ Work done by (A + B) in 20 days = 2 × 20 = 40 units.

⇒ Remaining work = 60 − 40 = 20 units.

⇒ This 20 units is done by A in 20 days.

⇒ Efficiency of A = 20 ÷ 20 = 1 unit/day.

⇒ Time for A alone = Total Work ÷ Efficiency of A = 60 ÷ 1 = 60 days.

∴ The correct answer is 60 days.

Additional Information

Efficiency and Time Relation

Efficiency is inversely proportional to time taken. If the ratio of efficiency of A and B is x:y, then the ratio of time taken is y:x.

Combined Work Formula

If A can do work in x days and B in y days, then together they take (x × y) ÷ (x + y) days to complete the work.

Pipes and Cisterns

The same principle applies where filling pipes have positive efficiency and outlet pipes (leaks) have negative efficiency.

Formula Used:

Speed = Distance/time

Calculation:

Using the above formula -

Speed of train = 120/10 = 12m/s

∴ The correct answer is 12m/sec

Concept Used:

Calculation:

Let the speed of a boat is u and that of a stream is v 

⇒ u + v = 15.5      -----(1)

⇒ u - v = 8.5         -----(2)

Adding  (1) & (2)

⇒ 2u = 15.5 + 8.5 = 24

⇒ u = 12 kmph

v = 12 - 8.5 = 3.5 kmph   [Using equation (2)]

∴ The correct answer is 3.5 kmph.

Shortcut Trick

If upstream speed = U, downstream speed = D, then,

Speed of Boat = (D + U)/2, and speed of Stream = (D - U)/2,

Here, speed of the stream = (15.5 - 8.5)/2 = 3.5 km/h

Formula Used:

1. Circumference of circle = 2πr
2. Speed = Distance/time 
3. To convert speed from m/s to kmph multiply by 18/5

Calculation: 

Total Distance covered = 10 × Circumference of wheel

⇒ Total Distance covered = 10 × 2 × $\frac{22}{7}$ × $\frac{70}{100}$ = 44m

Using the above formula -

Speed = $\frac{44}{5}$ × $\frac{18}{5}$ = 31.68kmph

∴ The correct answer is 31.68 kmph

The arrangement as per the given information:

1. Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V take a series of tests. 2. No two students get the same marks. 3. V always scores more than P.

V > P

4.  P always scores more than Q.

V > P > Q

5. Each time either R scores the highest and T gets the least or alternatively S scores the highest and U or Q scores the least.

Here, three possibilities are:

Case (1)

R >  . . . . .  > T

Case (2)

S >  . . . . .  > U

Case (3)

S > . . . . .  > Q

If S is ranked sixth and Q is ranked fifth, then R ranks most and first, and T ranks lowest and seventh place. Thus, V will never be in the first position and R is in the first position not in the second or third position. P will never be in the fifth position. U can be in the third or fourth position.

Thus, The sequence can be :

R > U > V > P > Q > S > T (This order is not present in the option, so this case has been eliminated)

R > V > U > P > Q > S > T

R > V > P > U > Q > S > T

Therefore, we can say U is ranked third or fourth.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (4)".

The arrangement as per the given information:

1. Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V take a series of tests. 2. No two students get the same marks. 3. V always scores more than P.

V > P

4.  P always scores more than Q.

V > P > Q

5. Each time either R scores the highest and T gets the least or alternatively S scores the highest and U or Q scores the least.

Here, three possibilities are:

Case (1)

R >  . . . . .  > T

Case (2)

S >  . . . . .  > U

Case (3)

S > . . . . . > Q

Again, if R ranks most, T ranks lowest and seventh place. V always ranks above P and Q, in the maximum, P and Q will be fifth and sixth places. Thus, V will not be lower than the fourth.

Hence, the correct answer is "Fourth".

The arrangement as per the given information:

1. Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V take a series of tests. 2. No two students get the same marks. 3. V always scores more than P.

V > P

4.  P always scores more than Q.

V > P > Q

5. Each time either R scores the highest and T gets the least, or alternatively S scores the highest and U or Q scores the least.

Here, three possibilities are:

Case (1)

R >  . . . . .  > T

Case (2)

S >  . . . . .  > U

Case (3)

S > . . . . . > Q

If R is ranked second, S will rank first and Q and U lowest. But Q ranks fifth. So U ranks lowest. order V > P > Q will be followed.

So, the arrangement will be S > R > V > P > Q > T > U. So, the sixth place will be occupied by T. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (2)".

The arrangement as per the given information:

1. Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V take a series of tests. 2. No two students get the same marks. 3. V always scores more than P.

V > P

4.  P always scores more than Q.

V > P > Q

5. Each time either R scores the highest and T gets the least or alternatively S scores the highest and U or Q scores the least.

Here, three possibilities are:

Case (1)

R >  . . . . .  > T

Case (2)

S >  . . . . .  > U

Case (3)

S > . . . . . > Q

If S ranked second, then R ranks most and first, and T ranks lowest and seventh place. so, we can say V must be less than S. order V > P > Q then, P can't get more than V. T is the lowest so can't more than Q.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option (1)".

The arrangement as per the given information:

1. Seven students P, Q, R, S, T, U, and V take a series of tests. 2. No two students get the same marks. 3. V always scores more than P.

V > P

4.  P always scores more than Q.

V > P > Q

5. Each time either R scores the highest and T gets the least or alternatively S scores the highest and U or Q scores the least.

Here, three possibilities are:

Case (1)

R >  . . . . .  > T

Case (2)

S >  . . . . .  > U

Case (3)

S > . . . . . > Q

If V ranks fifth, P and Q Come before it will occupy sixth and seventh places. So, Q ranks least. Then S will score the highest

The correct answer is "QSRP"

Key Points

• We do not need to find any introductory sentence because the 1st sentence is fixed.
• The first sentence**(fixed as S1)** gives an introduction about lakhs of students, so this will be the main subject of this passage.
• This sentence tells Q where the students are coming from. This will be the next sentence because it tells us about the subject**(Lakhs of students)**
• ​Lakhs of students
• This sentence S tells about the action of the students:
• appear in the examinations
• The next 2 sentences**(R and P respectively)** and the last sentence describe the examination in which the students (who are the subject of our passage) appear:
  
• which are held
• on all-India basis

Hence, the complete passage: S1 - Lakhs of students. Q - from all over India. S - appear in the examinations. R - which are held. P - on all India basis. S6 - by different recruiting organisations.

The correct answer is "RPSQ"

Key Points 

• We do not need to find any introductory sentence because the 1st sentence is fixed.
• The sentence S1 starts with "many people" which is a noun
• "Many people" will be the subject of this sentence:
• Many people
• The verb comes after the noun, the next part tells that many people think something. "Think" is a verb, so R will be the next part
• seem to think
• The sentence P sums up what people think about the government
• that the government can always pay out money quite easily,
• The next 2 parts will be S and Q because it uses the conjunction “but” and at the same time they tell the reality of the government which is quite opposite to what people think
• but they forget
• that the government can only pay out money
• S6 - that it has received in taxes.

Hence, the correct passage: S1 - Many people. R - seem to think P - that the government can always pay out money quite easily, S - but they forget Q - that the government can only pay out money.
