Given:

April to May - 10% increase

May to June - 20% decrease

June to July - 50% increase

Formula used:

Percentage increase = increased value/original value × 100

Calculation:

Let the number = 1000x

April to May 10% increase

⇒ number = 1000x × 110/100 = 1100x

May to June 20% decrease

⇒ number = 1100x × 80/100 = 880x

June to July 50% increase

⇒ number = 880x × 150/100 = 1320x

⇒ increased value = 1320x - 1000x = 320x

⇒ % increase = 320x/1000x × 100

∴ Required percentage increase from April to July = 32%

The correct answer is West Indies.

Important Points

Given:

Two numbers are respectively 40% and 60% more than a third number.

Calculation:

Let the third number be 'x'.

The first number is 40% more than the third number

⇒ first number = x × 140/100

⇒ first number = 7x/5

The second number is 60% more than the third number

⇒ second number = x × 160/100

⇒ second number = 8x/5

⇒ first number: second number = 7x/5 : 8x/5

∴ Ratio of first number to the second number = 7 : 8

The logic follows here is 

6 - 2 = 4

12 - 6 = 6

20 - 12 = 8

30 - 20 = 10

42 - 30 = 12

56 - 42 = 14

Here we can see the difference is increasing by 2.

Hence 20 is the correct answer.

I. In the code language, 'you are beautiful' is written as 'sen tou ki' → Sen could be "You" or "are' or " beautiful", so can't determine from this statement.

II. In the same code language, 'will you have coffee' is written as 'ti sen ae toce' → Sen could be 'will" " you "  "have " " coffee ", so can't determine from this statement

Now, combining both the statements we can say " you " is common in both, so," You"  is the code for " Sen "

Hence, Both statements I and II together are necessary.

Given:

12/5, 21/6, 9/4 and 18/3

Formula used:

HCF of fractions = HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators

Calculation:

 HCF of fractions = HCF of numerators/LCM of denominators

⇒ HCF of fractions = HCF of (12, 21, 9, 18)/LCM of (5, 6, 4, 3)

⇒ Since, 12 = 2 × 2 × 3, 21 = 3 × 7, 9 = 3 × 3, 18 = 2 × 3 × 3

⇒ HCF of 12, 21, 9, 18 = 3

⇒ 5 = 1 × 5, 6 = 2 × 3, 4 = 2 × 2, 3 = 1 × 3

⇒ LCM of 5, 6, 4, 3 = 60

⇒ HCF of (12, 21, 9, 18)/LCM of (5, 6, 4, 3) = 3/60

∴ HCF of 12/5, 21/6, 9/4 and 18/3 = 1/20

Given

The ratio of boys to girls is 4 : 5 , four new boys joined the class , the number of boys would increase by 20%

Calculation: 

⇒ Let Number of boys = 4x and number of girls = 5x

⇒ Let assume 4x boys = 100% 

also, 4x + 4 = 4x × 120/100

⇒ 4x + 4 = 4.8x 

⇒ 0.8x = 4 

⇒ x = 5

∴ number of girls = 5x = 5 × 5 = 25

Important Points

Given:

X and Y can complete a piece of work in 15 days, and X alone can do the same work in 30 days

Calculation: 

⇒ X and Y can complete a piece of work in 15 days

∴ One day work of X and Y combined = 1/15 unit 

⇒ X alone can do the same work in 30 days

∴ One day work of X = 1/30 unit 

One day work , 

⇒ 1/15 = 1/30 + 1/Y

⇒ 1/Y = 1/15 - 1/30 

⇒ 1/Y = (2 - 1)/30 = 1/30

⇒ Y = 30 

∴ Y alone takes 30 days to complete the same work

Given

⇒ X and Y can complete a piece of work in 15 days

⇒ X alone can do the same work in 30 days

⇒ By using direct l.c.m method 

⇒ Efficiency of X and Y = 30/15 = 2 unit per day.

⇒ Efficiency of X = 30/30= 1 unit per day 

∴ Efficiency of y = Efficiency of whole - Efficiency = 2 - 1 = 1

⇒ Y working = Total work/Y efficiency = 30/1 = 30 days.

∴ Y alone takes 30 days to complete the same work

The correct answer is Sulphuric acid.

Important Points

• The stomach plays a critical role in the early stages of food digestion.

• Hydrochloric acid (HCl), another component of the gastric juice.
• It is creating the pH required for pepsin activity. Parietal cells produce HCl by secreting hydrogen and chloride ions.
• Potassium (K⁺) ions are critical for the activation and catalytic cycle of the gastric H⁺, K⁺-ATPase, resulting in the secretion of hydrochloric acid into the parietal cell canaliculus.

Given

⇒

Here the triangle is an equilateral triangle, hence all sides are equal. 

Formula Used:

Perimeter of equilateral triangle = 3 × side ( Because all sides are equal )

Calculation: 

⇒ 24 = 3 × side 

⇒ Side = 24/3 = 8 cm

⇒ As X , Y , Z are the midpoint of triangle PQR

therefore PR = 8 cm , PZ = 4 cm , ZR = 4 cm , RQ = 8 cm , QY = 4 cm , YR = 4 cm PQ = 8 cm, PX = 4cm, QX = 4cm.

⇒ Using The midpoint theorem “The line segment in a triangle joining the midpoint of two sides of the triangle is said to be parallel to its third side and is also half of the length of the third side.”

Therefore XY = YZ = ZX = 4cm

∴ Perimeter of triangle XYZ = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12 cm

Given:

There is a 40% increase in an amount in 4 years at simple interest.

Formula Used:

S.I = ( P × R × t )/100

A = P × ( 1 + r/100 )t ;C.I = (A - P) 

Calculation: 

Let sum is Rs. 100x 

∴ 40% of 100 = (40/100) × 100 = 40x 

∴ Increased amount = 40x  

⇒ So simple interest is 40x

Now, 

⇒ Using above formula, 

⇒ 40x = (100x × R × 4)/100

⇒ 40 × 100 = 100 × R × 4 

⇒ 4000/100 = R × 4 

⇒ R = 40/4 = 10%

Now on same rate compound interest on 6000 Rs. for time period 3 years 

⇒ A = P × (1 + r/100)^t 

⇒ P = 6000 , R = 10% , T = 3 years

⇒ A = 6000 × (1 + 10/100)³ 

⇒ A = 6000 × (11/10)³ 

⇒ A = 6000 × (1331/1000) = 6 × 1331 = 7986

⇒ A = 7986 

now 

⇒ A = C.I + P , ∴ C.I = (A - P) 

⇒ C.I = 7986 - 6000 = Rs. 1986 

∴ Compound interest on Rs. 6000 at 10% interest rate is Rs. 1986

Given:

Train running at 120 km/hr and crosses a pole in 9 seconds

Formula Used:

speed of train = distance/time

Distance = length of train 

Speed of the train is given in km/h while time is given in seconds so first we need to convert speed into m/s because length has been asked in m 

To convert speed km/h into m/s multiply given speed with 5/18 and

to convert speed m/s to km/h multiply given speed with 18/5

Calculation:

⇒ Speed in m/s = 120 km/hr × (5/18) = (100/3) m/s

⇒ Distance = (100/3) × 9 = 300 m

∴ Length of train = 300 m

Given: 

The ratio between the speeds of two trains is 4 : 5 and the second train runs 800 km in 8 hours.

Formula Used:

speed = distance/time

Calculation:

Let the speed of two trains be 4x and 5x respectively

⇒ Speed of second train = 5x = 800/8

⇒ 5x =  100 km/hr  

⇒ x = 20 km/hr

⇒ speed of first train = 4x = 20 × 4 = 80 km/h

∴ The speed of the first train = 80 km/h

Pankaj buys 10 lemons for Rs. 80 and he wants to make a profit of 25% on selling a dozen of lemons

Concept Used:

Selling Price (SP) = Cost Price (CP) + Profit

one dozen means12 in quantity

Calculation:

Pankaj buys 10 lemons for Rs. 80

The cost price (CP) per lemon = 80/10

⇒  Rs. 8

The cost price of one dozen lemon = 8 × Rs. 12

⇒ Rs. 96

25% profit on Rs. 96 = (25/100) × 96 = Rs. 24

∴ Selling price = 96 + 24 = Rs. 120

Given:

Richard's car runs 25 km in one litre of petrol

Petrol costs Rs. 75/litre

Richard spends Rs.1500 on petrol

Concept Used:

Concept of Unitary Method.

In this concept we will first calculate the value of a single unit then we will calculate our desire value by multiplying the single unit value

Total distance travel = Distance travel/fuel consumed × Total fuel

Calculation:

Total money spend = Rs. 1500

Price of petrol = Rs. 75/liter

He can buy total 1500/75 = 20 litre petrol on that money

Now, in 1 litre petrol car runs 25 km

∴ In 20 liter petrol car runs = 20 × 25 = 500 km

∴ Richard’s car can go 500 km on Rs. 1500 of petrol

Given:

Binary starts walking South. After 21 km, he turns to his right and walks straight for 20 km.

Concept Used:

Concept of detection

Concept of Pythagoras formula: In a Right-angle triangle if ‘a’ be the length of the base and ‘b’ be the length of the height of the perpendicular and ‘c’ be the length of hypotenuses then,

a² + b² = c²

Calculation:

Binary starts walking South. After 21 km, he turns to his right i.e. from the figure AB = 21 km

Then after turns to his right and walks straight for 20 km i.e. from figure BC = 20 km

Now, ∠ ABC = 90°

From Pythagoras formula get,

(AC)² = (AB)² + (BC)²

⇒ (AC)² = (21)² + (20)²

⇒ (AC)² = 441 + 400

⇒ (AC)² = 841

⇒ AC = √841

⇒ AC = 29

∴ He is 29 km far from his starting position.

Given:

Priya invested a certain amount of money and got back an amount of Rs. 8800 after 3 years and the rate of simple interest was 40%

Concept Used:

If principal be ‘p’, rate of interest be r% then the simple interest after t year will be (p × r × t/100)

And the amount will be [(p × r × t/100) + p]

Calculation:

Let principal be p

Rate of interest is 40% p.a.

And time = 3 year

After 3 years total simple interest = (p × 40 × 3)/100

⇒ 6p/5

Amount after 3 year = 6p/5 + p

⇒ 11p/5

Now, according to the given condition,

⇒ 11p/5 = 8800

⇒ p = (8800 × 5)/11

⇒ p = Rs. 4000

∴ The principal amount invested by Priya was Rs. 4000

Given:

Given numbers are 15, 25 and 125. 

Concept Used:

LCM (Least Common Multiple): LCM of x and y is the least common multiple of x and y which is perfectly divisible by both x and y

For Example,

3 → Multiple of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, …

4 → Multiple of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, …

Here common are 12 and 24. But of these 12 is least

∴ LCM of 3 and 4 is 12

Given:

A certain sum amounts to Rs. 7200 in 2 years at 20% per annum compound interest, compounded annually

Concept Used:

If a certain principal/sum be P, Rate of interest be r% and time be t year

Then, Amount (sum + interest), (A) = P(1 + r/100)^t

Calculation:

Let sum be Rs. P

Rate of interest (r) = 20% p.a.

Time (t) = 2 years

Amount (A) = 7200

7200 = P(1 + 20/100)²

⇒ 7200 = P(6/5)²

⇒ P = 7200 × 5/6 × 5/6

⇒ P = Rs. 5000

∴ The required sum is Rs. 5000

Compound interest means (interest on sum + interest on interest)

Let, sum = 100

Rate of interest = 20%

For first year interest on sum 100 is 20 also for second year interest on sum 100 is 20

But in second year additional sum = 20, which is first year’s interest

Interest on 20 at 20% rate for 1 year = 4

∴ After two year total amount = (100 + 20 + 20 + 4)

⇒ 144

Now, according to given condition,

144 = 7200

⇒ 100 = (7200/144) × 100

⇒ 100 = 5000

∴ Required sum is Rs. 5000.

Given:

Calculation:

LCM of 11, 7 and 5 is 11 × 7 × 5 = 385

4/11 + 2/7 + 3/5

⇒ [(4 × 7 × 5) + (2 × 11 × 5) + (3 × 11 × 7)]/385

⇒ (140 + 110 + 231)/385

⇒ 481/385

∴ 4/11 + 2/7 + 3/5 = 481/385

The correct answer is 100%.

Given-

Rs. 200 was distributed among three persons - Anil, Binay and Chinmay. Binay received 50% more than Chinmay. Anil received Rs. 10 more than 150% of what Binay received. 

Calculation- 

Let share of Chinmay be Rs. x

⇒ Share of Binay = x + 50% of x = 1.5x

Now, Share of Anil = 150% of (1.5x) + 10 = 2.25x + 10

According to the question -

Share of (Chinmay + Binay + Anil) = 200

⇒ x + 1.5x + 2.25x + 10 = 200

⇒ 4.75x = 190

⇒ x = 40

∴ Share of Anil = (2.25 × 40) + 10 = Rs. 100

Conclusions :-

1. Some bullets are arrows → True (It is definite relation between bullets and arrows all arrows are bullets so, some bullets are arrows).  2. Some arrows are spears → True (It is definite relation between arrows and spears all spears are arrows so, some arrows are spears).
2. Some bullets are spears→ True (It is definite relation between bullets and spears all arrows are bullets and all spears are arrows so, some bullets are spears).
3. No bullet is an arrow → False (It is possible but There is no definite relation between bullet and arrow).

Thus, the correct answer is Conclusions 1,2 and 3 follows.

Thus, the logic follows here is :-

Hence, Second letter is opposite of first letter in the row of Alphabet order.

Thus, the correct answer by verifying options is "IR".

Concept Used-

The unit digit of the product of any given numbers will be the same as the unit digit of the product of the last digit of each such number.

Cyclicity- It is the number after power of which each unit digit of any number repeats itself.

Ex-  3¹ = 3, 3² = 9, 3³ = 27, 3⁴ = 81. If we proceed further i.e 3⁵ = 243 the unit digit 3 will repeat itself.

∴ Cyclicity of 3 is 4.

Similarly, cyclicity of 4 is 2 and that of 5 is 1( ∵ unit digit in 5ⁿ is always 5)

Calculation- 

Considering the given expression - 45231632 × 22241632 × 32251632

∵ 1632 is divisible by 4, Unit digit in 4523¹⁶³² is 1( 3⁴ = 81(i.e 1))

Unit digit in 2224¹⁶³² is 6.

Unit digit in 3225¹⁶³² is 5.

∴ Unit digit in 4523¹⁶³² × 2224¹⁶³² × 3225¹⁶³² = 0.(∵ 1 × 6 × 5  = 30)

Given-

The cost price of Persian rug = Rs. 1235

Selling price of Persian rug = Rs. 1500

Formula Used-

Gain percentage = (SP - CP)/CP × 100

Calculation- 

Gain percentage = (1500 - 1235)/1235 × 100 = 265 × 100/1235

⇒ 21.46 %
