Concept:

• The neither-nor case is applicable when both the conclusions are false, whether definite or not.
• The either-or case is applicable for a pair of statements only if either of the following pair of keywords is used AND only if the following conditions are satisfied:

Keywords:

1. All and some not
2. Some and no

Conditions:

1. The same elements are used in the two conclusions. For example, in this case, the elements jungles and malls are common to both conclusions.
2. Both conclusions should be possibilities. That is, they should be false because the conclusion is possible but not definite.

Then, the pair of conclusions are considered as complementary pairs.

The least possible Venn diagram is,

Conclusion I: No spider is a molar → False (This is definitely false)

Interchanging the signs and using BODMAS rule,

Option 1 → – and ×

The original equation is,

27 + 27 × 27 − 27 ÷ 27 = −701

Interchanging the signs,

27 + 27 – 27 × 27 ÷ 27 = −701

Using BODMAS rule,

27 + 27 – 27 × 1 = - 701

27 + 27 – 27 = - 701

27 is not equal to – 701

Option 2 → + and ÷

The original equation is,

27 + 27 × 27 − 27 ÷ 27 = −701

Interchanging the signs,

27 ÷ 27 × 27 – 27 + 27 = - 701

Using BODMAS rule,

1 × 27 – 27 + 27 = - 701

27 – 27 + 27 is not equal to – 701

Option 3 → – and ÷

The original equation is,

27 + 27 × 27 − 27 ÷ 27 = −701

Interchanging the signs,

27 + 27 × 27 ÷ 27 – 27 = - 701

Using BODMAS rule,

27 + 27 × 1 – 27 = - 701

27 + 27 – 27 is not equal to – 701

Option 4 → × and ÷

The original equation is,

27 + 27 × 27 − 27 ÷ 27 = −701

Interchanging the signs,

27 + 27 ÷ 27 - 27 × 27 = - 701

Using BODMAS rule,

27 + 1 – 27 × 27 = - 701

28 – 729 = - 701

-701 = - 701

Hence, option 4 is the correct answer.

Calculation:

Observation in ascending order:

10, 11, 13, 17, (x+2), (x+4), 31, 33, 36, 42

Median of observation is the mean of 5^th and 6^th observation

⇒ {(x+2) + (x+4)}/ 2 = 24

⇒ 2x = 48 – 6

⇒ 2x = 42

⇒ x = 21

The median of the observation = 21

Mean of the data:

⇒ (10 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 23 + 25 + 31 + 33 + 36 + 42) / 10

⇒ 241/10 = 24.1

Mean of the observation = 24.1

∴ The mean of the observation = 24.1.

Given:

x is the fourth proportional to 36, 48 and 15, and 4.2, y, 9 and 13.5 are in proportion

Calculation:

x is fourth proportional

⇒ 36 : 48 ∷ 15 : x

⇒ x = 20

According to question:

4.2, y, 9 and 13.5 is in proportional

⇒ 4.2 : y ∷ 9 : 13.5

⇒ y = (4.2 × 13.5)/9

⇒ y = 6.3

Difference between x and y = 20 – 6.3

⇒ 13.7

∴ The required difference is 13.7

the last divisor is 174 and quotient is 2

Second last divisor = 174 × 2 = 348

And quotient is 7 so,

Second last dividend = 348 × 7 + 174 = 2610

Quotient is 1 so,

First dividend = 2610 × 1 + 348 = 2958

Sum of the numbers = 2610 + 2958 = 5568

According to question,

Dividing 5568 by 11

Quotient = 506

∴ Remainder = 2

Given:

Water canal width = 3m

Depth of canal = 1.2m

Velocity = 10km/hr = (25/9)m/sec

Formula used:

Distance = speed × time

Calculation:

Distance covered in half hour = (25/9) × 30 × 60 = 5000 m

Volume of water flow = 3 × 1.2 × 5000 = 18000 m³

Standing water deapth = 9cm = 0.09m

Irrigation area = (18000/0.09) = 200000 m³

∴ the area (in hectares) it will irrigate = 200000/10000 = 20 hectares

∴ the area it will irrigate = 20 hectares

Number of students in city A = 75

Number of students in city B = 124

Number of students in city C = 108

Number of students in city D = 81

Number of students in city E = 148

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city A= 3 : 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city B = 16 : 15 = 16 + 15 = 31

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city C = 7 : 5 = 7 + 5 =12

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city D = 5 : 4 = 5 + 4 = 9

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city E = 17 : 20 = 17 + 20 = 37

Passed percentage in city A = (3/5) × 75 = 45

Passed percentage in city C = (7/12) × 108 = 63

Total number of students passed in city A and C = 45 + 63 = 108

Number of failed students in city B = (15/31) × 124 = 60

Number of failed students in city E = (20/37)× 148 = 80

Total number of students failed in city B and E = 60+ 80 = 140

Ration of Total number of students passed in city A and C and Total number of students failed in city B and E = 108 : 140 = 27 : 35

∴ the required ratio = 27 : 35

Concept:

Calculation:

⇒ {(7/8) ÷ (21/4) × (36/5) – (1/10)} ÷ (1/2) + {(3/5) × (15/2) + (283) ÷ (8/15)}

⇒ {(7/8) × (4/21) × (36/5) – (1/10) ÷ (1/2) + {(3/5)× (15/2) + (2/3) × (15/8)}

⇒ [(6/5) – (1/10) × 2] + (9/2) + (5/4)

⇒ (11/5) + (9/2) + (5/4)

⇒ [(44 + 90 + 25) / 20] = 159/20

According to question:

⇒ 159/20 = 7 + (19/20)

Comparing both side:

we get k = 19/20

Given:

13 numbers average = 65

Average of first three number is 63

Average of next 9 numbers = 64.5

Formula used:

Average = sum of all the numbers/total nubers

Calculation:

Average of 13 numbers = 65

Sum of numbers = 65 × 13 = 845

Average of 1^st 3 numbers = 63

Sum of 1^st 3 numbers = 63 × 3 = 189

Average of next 9 numbers = 64.5

Sum of next 9 numbers = 64.5 × 9 = 580.5

Let the 13th number be x

Sum of 13 numbers = sum of 1^st 3 numbers + sum of next 9 numbers + sum of 13^th number

⇒ 845 = 189 + 580.5 + x

⇒ x = 75.5

11^th number = 75.5 - 2.5 = 73

12^th number = 73 – 2 = 71

Average of 11^th and 12^th number = (73 + 71)/2 = 72

∴ the average of 11^th and 12^th number = 72

Note∶

The question was incorrect in the official paper. However, we have changed it and update it accordingly.

Number of students in city A = 75

Number of students in city B = 124

Number of students in city C = 108

Number of students in city D = 81

Number of students in city E = 148

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city A= 3 : 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city B = 16 : 15 = 16 + 15 = 31

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city C = 7 : 5 = 7 + 5 =12

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city D = 5 : 4 = 5 + 4 = 9

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city E = 17 : 20 = 17 + 20 = 37

Number of failed students in city A = (2/5) × 75 = 30

Number of failed students in city B = (15/31)× 124 = 60

Total number of students failed in City A and B = 30 + 60 = 90

Number of students in city D = 81

⇒ (81/90) × 100 = 90%

∴ the required percentage = 90%

Concept:

Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below.

Step - 1: Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first, and following BODMAS rule in the bracket –

Step - 2: Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next.

Step - 3: Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are calculated.

Given expression is:

$\frac{[5.7 \div 1.9 of 0.4]\div1.5}{1.5\div[12.5-(7.5 - 2.5)]}$

Calculation:

⇒ {(5.7 ÷ 0.76) ÷ 1.5}/{1.5 ÷ (12.5 – 5)}

⇒ (30 ÷ 4) ÷ 15 / (1.5 ÷ 7.5)

⇒ (7.5/1.5) × (7.5/1.5)

⇒ 5 × 5 = 25

∴ the required answer is 25

Given:

A is 75% more than B

C is 40% less than D

D is 20% more than A

Calculation:

Let B = 100

∴ A = 175

Then, D = 175x + [(20/100) × 175x] = 210

∴ C = 210x – [(40/100) × 210x] = 126

Now, the ratio of B and C = 100 : 126

∴ 50C = 63B

Given:

Discount % = 20%

Profit % = 28%

Concept

Marked price × discount% = selling price

Cost price × profit% = selling price

Calculation:

According to question:

Marked price × (80/100) = cost price × (128/100)

⇒ Marked Price / Cost Price = 8/5

Now, if an article is sold at 12.5% discount then the selling price

⇒ 12.5% of 8 = 7

Selling price = 7, cost price = 5

Profit% = (2/5) × 100 = 40%

∴ the profit% = 40%

Given:

Alloy X contains copper and tin in the ratio = 7 : 3

Alloy Y contains copper and tin in the ratio = 3 : 2

X and Y are taken in the ratio 4 : 1

Calculation:

Quantity of copper in 10units of X = 7units

Similarly, Quantity of copper in 10units of Y = 6units

To form Z, we need X : Y = 4 : 1

∴ 40units of X contains 28 units copper and 10units of Y contains 6units copper

∴ in total 50units, copper is 34units required % = (34/50) × 100 = 68%

∴ the required percentage = 68%

Given:

A person sells an article at a certain price. If he sells it at 80% of that price, he incurs a loss of 16%. We need to find the gain percent at the original price.

Formula Used:

Loss % = ((Cost Price - Selling Price) / Cost Price) × 100

Gain % = ((Selling Price - Cost Price) / Cost Price) × 100

Calculation:

Let the original selling price be SP = 100x and cost price be CP.

Reduced selling price = 80% of original SP = 0.8 × 100x = 80x

Loss at reduced SP = 16% → SP_reduced = 0.84 × CP

So, 80x = 0.84 × CP

CP = 80x / 0.84 = 95.238x ≈ 95.24x

Gain at original SP = SP - CP = 100x - 95.238x = 4.762x

Gain % = (4.762x / 95.238x) × 100 ≈ 5%

∴ Gain percent is 5%

Given:

Speed of mini bus = 82km/hr

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

Calculation:

Speed of mini bus = 82 × (5/18) = (205/9)m/sec

Let the speed of bike = x m/sec

The difference between the distance covered by bike and bus in 20seconds = 150 + 100 = 250m

⇒ {(205/9) – x} × 20 = 250

⇒ x = (205/9) – (25/2) = {(410 – 225)/18} = 185/18

⇒ speed of bike = (185/18) m/sec

⇒ speed of bike = (185/18) × 18/5 = 37km/hr

∴ The speed of bike is 37km/hr.

Given:

A total sum = 3392

Ratio of A : B = 2 : 5

Ratio of B: C = 3 : 7

Ratio of C : D = 5 : 8

Calculation:

Ratio of A : B = 2 : 5 ----(i)

Ratio of B: C = 3 : 7 ----(ii)

Ratio of C : D = 5 : 8 -----(iii)

Multiplying equation (i) by 3, equation (ii) by 5 and equation (iii) by 7

⇒ A : B : C : D = 6 : 15 : 35 : 56

⇒ share of C = [35/(6 + 15 + 35 + 56)] × 3392 = (5/16) × 3392 = 1060

∴ the share of C = 1060

Given:

A can complete the 33(1/3)% work in 5days

B can complete the 40% work in 10days

Calculation:

$33\frac{1}{3}$%= 1/3

40% = 2/5

Let the total work be 15 units

According to question:

A can complete the work 5 units of work in 5 days

B can complete the work 6 units of work in 10days

Efficiency of A = 5/5 = 1units/day

Efficiency of B = (6/10)units/day

When they work together:

Efficiency of the work = 1+ (6/10) = 16/10units/day

According to question they work for 5days

Work completed in 5days = (16/10) × 5 = 8units

Remaining work = 15 – 8 = 7units

A alone the remaining work in = total work / efficiency = 7 / 1 = 7days

∴  the required answer = 7days

Shortcut Trick

Effective interest rate for Case 1 = 9% × 2.5 years = 22.5%

Total amount percentage = 100% (Principal) + 22.5% = 122.5%

Given, 122.5% → ₹11760 ⇒ 1% → 11760 ÷ 122.5 = ₹96

Required Simple Interest for Case 2 = 15% × 4.4 years = 66%

Total Simple Interest = 66 × 96 = ₹6336

∴ The correct answer is ₹6336.

Alternate Method

Given: Amount (A₁) = ₹11760, Rate (R₁) = 9%, Time (T₁) = 2.5 years, Rate (R₂) = 15%, Time (T₂) = 4.4 years.

Formula Used: SI = (P × R × T) / 100 | Amount = P + SI

⇒ Amount₁ = P + (P × 9 × 2.5) / 100

⇒ 11760 = P + (P × 22.5) / 100

⇒ 11760 = P(1 + 0.225) ⇒ 11760 = 1.225P

⇒ P = 11760 ÷ 1.225 = 9600

⇒ SI₂ = (9600 × 15 × 4.4) / 100

⇒ SI₂ = 96 × 66 = 6336

∴ The correct answer is ₹6336.

Additional Information

Simple Interest Constant Property

Simple Interest remains constant for every year if the principal and rate are unchanged. SI = Principal × Rate × Time / 100.

Effective Rate of Interest

For Simple Interest, the effective rate for a period is the product of the annual rate and the time in years (R × T).

Amount in Simple Interest

The total amount (A) is the sum of the principal (P) and interest (SI). A = P(1 + RT/100).

Given:

Average of all the students of class = 45.5kg

5 students weighing 44.6kg, 43.4kg, 44kg, 45.5kg, 435kg leaves the class

Calculation:

Let the number of students initially be x

Total weights of the class = 45.5x kg

Sum of weights of students who left (44.6 + 43.4 + 44 + 45.5 + 43.5) kg = 221kg

∴ New average = (45.5x – 221)/(x -5) = 46

⇒ 45.5x – 221 = 46x – 230

⇒ 0.5x = 9

⇒ x = 18

∴ there were 18 students initially in the class

Given:

Principal = Rs. 7500

Time = 2.75years = 2years 9months

Rate% = 8%

Concept:

In the case of compound interest, the rate of interest increases successively

{a + a + (a × a)/100}

Calculation:

Effective rate of interest in 2 years = {8 + 8 + (8 × 8)/100} = 16.64%

According to question:

Rate of interest in 12 months = 8%

⇒ 1month = 8/12

⇒ 9months = (8/12) × 9 = 6%

So, the effective rate of interest in 2 years 9months =

⇒ {16.64 + 6 + (16.64× 6)/100}

⇒ 23.63%

Compound interest on Rs.7500 after 2years 9moths =

⇒ 23.63% of 7500

⇒ Rs.1772.25

∴ the required compound interest = Rs.1772.25 ≈ Rs.1773

Given:

9 men and 12 women can complete a work in 4 days

3 men and 6 women can complete it in 10 days.

Calculation:

According to question

Work done is same, so,

(9 men + 12 women) × 4 = (3 men + 6 women) × 10

⇒ 36 men - 30 men = 60 women - 48 women

⇒ 6 men = 12 women

⇒ 1 man = 2 women

As 9 men and 12 women can complete a work in 4 days

9 men and 12 women = 18 women + 12 women = 30 women

Time taken by 30 women to do the work = 4 days

Time taken by 1 woman = (4 × 30) days = 120 days

∴ Time taken by 15 woman = (120/15) days = 8 days

Given:

The radius of the conical tent (r) = 5m

Height of conical tent (h) = 12m

Formula used:

The curved surface area of the cone = π × radius × slant height

Calculation:

Slant height of cone (l) = √[(12)² + (5)²

⇒ √[144 + 25]

⇒ √169

⇒ 13cm

∴ The slant height of the cone = 13cm

Let the canvas required be x cm

Curved surface area = π r l = 5x

⇒ (22/7) × 5 × 13 = 5x

⇒ x = (286/7) = $40\frac{6}{7}$%

∴ the canvas required is $40\frac{6}{7}$%.

Given:

Boat goes 2km upstream and 3km downstream in 45 minutes

Boat goes 3km upstream and 9km downstream in 90 minutes

Calculation:

Let the speed of boat going downstream = x km/hr

And the speed of boat going upstream = y km/hr

According to question:

⇒ (2/y) + (3/x) = ¾ -----(i)

⇒ (3/y) + (9/x) = 3/2 -----(ii)

Multiply by 3 in equation (1) and subtract equation (2)

⇒ 3/y = (9 - 6)/4

⇒ 3/y = 3/4

⇒ y = 4

Putting y = 4 in equation 1

We get y = 4 and x = 12

∴ the speed of boat when going downstream = 12km/hr

Given:

The area of a circular park is 37times the area of a triangle

Sides of a triangle = 20m, 20m, 24m

Calculation:

The given triangle is an isosceles triangle  with two equal sides = 20m and the third side = 24m

Height of triangle = √[(20)² – (12)²]

⇒ √(400 – 144)

⇒ √256

⇒ 16m

∴ the height of triangle = 16m

Let the radius of the circular field = r m

According to the question:

Area of circular field = π × radius²

⇒  37 × (1/2) × 24 × 16

⇒ radius² = (7/22) × 37 × 24 × 8

⇒  49728/22 

⇒ 2260.36

⇒ radius = √2260 = = 47.5m

∴ the perimeter of circular park = 2 π × radius

⇒ 2 × 3.14 × 47.5

⇒ 298.3 ≈ 300m

∴ The perimeter of the circular park ≈ 300m.

Number of students in city D = 81

Number of students in city E = 148

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city A= 3 : 2 = 3 + 2 = 5

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city B = 16 : 15 = 16 + 15 = 31

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city C = 7 : 5 = 7 + 5 =12

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city D = 5 : 4 = 5 + 4 = 9

Ratio of candidates passed and failed in city E = 17 : 20 = 17 + 20 = 37

Passed percentage in city A = (3/5) × 100 = 60%

Passed percentage in city B = (16/31) × 100 = 51.61%

Passed percentage in city C = (7/12) × 100 = 58.33%

Passed percentage in city D = (5/9) × 100 = 55.555%

Passed percentage in city E = (17/37) × 100 = 45.94%

City A, City C, and City D have pass percentage more than 55%

∴ there are 3 cities having pass percentage more than 55%

Given:

Ritu sold an article at a loss of 12%

Had the article been sold at Rs.55.80 more there will be gain of 13%

Calculation

Earlier there was loss of 12%

After increament of Rs.55.80

There will be gain of 10%

Change in percentage = {13 – (-12)} = 25%

⇒ effective percentage change = 25%

According to question:

25% = Rs.55.80

Cost price of article = (55.80/25) × 100 = Rs.223.2

10% of 223.2 = 22.32

∴ to gain 10% an article is to be sold at = (223.2 + 22.32) = Rs. 245.52

∴ the selling price of an article = Rs.245.52
