SSC GD Constable Previous Year Paper (Held on: 19th February 2019 Shift 1)

The Venn diagrams correctly represent the relationships among the classes: Educated, Mothers, Employed -

An educated mother can be employed or can be unemployed and there can be a mother who is employed but not educated( unskilled labour). So, the diagram represented is the best representation of the entity given.

Some educated are employed but not mothers, some mothers are educated but not employed.

Hence, ‘option 4’ is the correct answer.

*NOTE:  It is not necessary that every educated would be employed, similarly, it is not necessary that every employed is educated. The same also goes with mothers.

1. • and ×

Given expression: 12 + 16 ÷ 8 × 4 - 8 = 24

After replacing the symbols, we get:

L.H.S = 12 × 16 ÷ 8 + 4 - 8

= 12 × 2 + 4 - 8

= 24 + 4 - 8

= 20 ≠ R.H.S

2. × and -

Given expression: 12 + 16 ÷ 8 × 4 - 8 = 24

After replacing the symbols, we get:

L.H.S = 12 + 16 ÷ 8 - 4 × 8 

= 12 + 2 - 4 × 8 

= 12 + 2 - 32

= - 18

= - 18 ≠ R.H.S

3. ÷ and × 

Given expression: 12 + 16 ÷ 8 × 4 - 8 = 24

After replacing the symbols, we get:

L.H.S = 12 + 16 × 8 ÷ 4 - 8 

= 12 + 16 × 2 - 8 

= 12 + 32 - 8

= 36

= 36 ≠ RHS

4) - and ÷ 

Given expression: 12 + 16 ÷ 8 × 4 - 8 = 24

After replacing the symbols, we get:

LHS = 12 + 16 - 8 × 4 ÷ 8

= 12 + 16 - 4

= 24

= 24 = RHS

Hence, ‘- and ÷’ is the correct answer.

1. F is opposite C, which is to the left of E

So we get 2 cases.

Case 1 -

Case 2 -

2. D is to the right of A.

Here,case 1 is not possible so we take case 2 only.

 

Thus, B is facing house A of opposite row.

Hence, ‘A’ is the correct answer.

Here, we can arrange the rows in the opposite way also, where F, D, A are facing towards north while C, E, B are facing towards south.

In both cases, the answer would be the same.

Here the logic is:

Hence, ‘19’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

Torture : Cruelty → These words are synonym of each other, meaning of both the words are the same (Aggravated form of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment)

Similarly,

Forgiveness : Generosity → These words are synonym of each other, meaning of both the words are the same (The action or process of forgiving someone or the quality of being kind)

Hence, ‘Forgiveness : Generosity’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

All lines are moving in 1 step upward direction and in each step one new line is added with one new symbol.

Hence, ‘option 3’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

In all options except ‘option 2’ the second number is formed by interchanging the digit place of the first number.

But, in option 2 the second number is written as 52 instead of 71.

Hence, ‘17 - 52’ is the correct answer.

After placing the figure in the blank space of the figure marked ‘X’ then complete pattern is -

Hence, ‘option 1’ is the correct answer.

Dawn means (the period in the day when light from the sun begins to appear in the sky) : Dusk means (the time before night when it is not yet dark) → 

Dawn and dusk words are antonyms to each other.

Similarly,

INAUGURATION means (the beginning of a new period, style, or activity) : VALEDICTION means (the act of saying goodbye) → Inauguration and valediction are antonyms to each other.

Hence, ‘VALEDICTION’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

Hence, ‘ywx’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

Now, write it down in reverse order then we will get,

 

THURSDAY is coded as ZBETSVIU.

Hence, ‘ZBETSVIU’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

All options except ‘option 4’ are multiple of 7 - 

84 = 12 × 7

91 = 13 × 7

42 = 6 × 7

But, in option 4 instead of multiplication of 7 multiplication of 5 takes place.

55 = 11 × 5 

Hence, ‘55’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some sweets are mangoes → True (As "some fruits are mangoes and all fruits are sweets" so, the overlapping part of mangoes and fruit will be sweets hence, true)

II. All sweets are fruits → False (as "all fruits are sweets" means fruits is a subset of Sweets but all sweets are fruit is a possible condition ( when fruit and sweets exactly overlap each other) but not definite  hence, false)

III. Some mangoes are neither fruits nor sweets. → False (as "some fruits are mangoes and all fruits are sweets" here nothing is mentioned where remaining part are neither fruit nor sweet, this is a possible condition not definite, Hence false)

Hence, "Only conclusion I follow" is the correct answer.

 

There is a possibility that all mangoes are Fruits, so in that case the given conclusion will be invalid. If any conclusion is true in all the possible cases, then only that conclusion is considered as true.

Additional Information

Here the logic is:

Hence, ‘68’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

Now, write it down in reverse order we get,

HEAD = 4158 and PASTE = 52019116

Similarly,

Write it down in reverse order we get,

TRICK = 11391820

Hence, ‘11391820’ is the correct answer

All are seated in a circle and facing at the centre or facing each other.

1. X is facing the west and X is to left of Y

2. V is to the right of Z

Hence, ‘north’ is the correct answer.

According to the given information:

1. Q is heavier than R but lighter than T.

T > Q > R ... (i)

2. S is lighter than T but heavier than U.

T > S > U

3. P is lighter than Q but heavier than S.

Q > P > S

Using 2 and 3, we get

T > Q > P > S > U ...(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we can conclude that among the six objects P, Q, R, S, T, and U,  T is the heaviest because T is heavier than P, Q, R, S, and U.

Similarly, Q is heavier than P, S, R, and U.

Therefore, Q is the second heaviest of all.

Hence, ‘Q’ is the correct answer.

The least possible Venn diagram for the given statements is as follows,

Conclusions:

I. Some flowers are round → False (It is possible but not definite)

II. Every round is either white or a flower → False (some rounds are white)

Hence, ‘Neither conclusion I nor II follows’ is the correct answer.

When the question figure X folded along the dotted line we get this figure -

Hence , ‘1’ is the correct answer.

The embedded figure marked X shown in the option figure below -

Hence, ‘option 3’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

Hence, ‘EJGP’ is the correct answer.

When a mirror is placed on the right side of the figure then we will get this image -

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".

Here the logic is:

Hence, ‘FUSG’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

Given set : {6, 10, 8}

{6, 10, 8} → 6² + 8² = 10² → 36 + 64 = 100 → 100 = 100

1. {8, 12, 9} → 8² + 9² ≠ 12² → 64 + 81 ≠ 144 → 145 ≠ 144
2. {5, 13, 12} → 5² + 12² = 13² → 25 + 144 = 169 → 169 = 169
3. {13, 17, 16} → 13² + 16² ≠ 17² → 169 + 256 ≠ 289 → 425 ≠ 289
4. {3, 6, 4} → 3² + 4² ≠ 6² → 9 + 16 ≠ 36 → 25 ≠ 36

Hence, ‘{5, 13, 12}’ is the correct answer.

Here the logic is:

Joy means (Happiness), Fear means (Fright) and Anger means (Rage) → All are extreme level of emotions that are to be felt in some special or abnormal conditions.

But,

Calm means (Peace) → It is a normal state of mind of a human, it doesn't require any special situation.

Hence, ‘Calm’ is the correct answer.

Given:

Total sum = 14460

A : B = 3 : 5

B : C = 6 : 7

C : D = 14 : 15

Concept used:

When we do anything in ratio one part, same pattern follow in other part 

Calculation: 

First we do same ratio of B and C in both given ratio

A : B = (3 : 5) × 12/5

B : C = 6 × 2 : 7 × 2

C : D = 14 : 15

A : B : C : D = 36/5 : 12 : 14 : 15 = 36 : 60 : 70 : 75

Total = (36 + 60 + 70 + 75) = 241

Difference between the shares of A and C = 70 - 36 = 34

according to question,

Total share = 14460

∴ share of B = 14460 × 34/241 = 60 × 34 = 2040

GIVEN:-

 $\left[ {\frac{5}{7};of;1\frac{3}{8} - \frac{5}{8};of\frac{6}{7}} \right]; \div \left[ {1 - \frac{1}{7} \times ;\left( {\frac{5}{{12}} + \frac{1}{3}} \right)} \right] \times \frac{{\frac{1}{7} - \frac{1}{9}}}{{\frac{1}{7} + \frac{1}{9}}}$ 

Concept used

Calculation

 $\left[ {\frac{5}{7} \times \frac{{11}}{8} - \frac{5}{8} \times \frac{6}{7}} \right] \div \left[ {1 - \frac{1}{7} \times ;\left( {\frac{9}{{12}}} \right)} \right] \times \frac{{\frac{2}{{63}}}}{{\frac{{16}}{{63}}}}$ 

 $\Rightarrow \left[ {\frac{{55}}{{56}} - \frac{{30}}{{56}}} \right] \div \left[ {1 - \frac{3}{{28}}} \right] \times \frac{1}{8}$

 $\Rightarrow \left[ {\frac{{25}}{{56}} \times \frac{{28}}{{25}}} \right] \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{8} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{{16}}$

GIVEN:- 

 Profit on selling 35 Mangoes = cost price of 7 mangoes

FORMULA USED:-

Profit% = Profit/cp × 100 ,where Profit = sp - cp

CALCULATION:-

⇒ 35 (sp - cp) = 7 cp 

⇒ 5 (sp -cp) = cp 

⇒ 5 sp -5 cp = cp 

⇒ 5 sp = 6 cp

⇒ sp/cp = 6/5

 ⇒ 1/5 = 20%

∴ Required Profit % = 20%

Where, N = no. of Small Spherical balls.

(4/3) πR³ = N × (4/3) πr³

∵ (4/3)π constant so we use R³/r³ formula

∴ the number of small balls = (4)³/(0.2)³ = 8000

Given:

Renu saves 30% of her income

If her savings increase by 30% and the expenditure increases by 25%

Concept used:

Income = Expenditure + Saving

Calculation:

30% = 3/10

I = E + S

⇒ 10 = 7 + 3

according to question,

10 × x% = 7 × 25% + 3 × 30%

⇒ 10x = 175 + 90

⇒ 10x = 265

∴ % increase of income = 265/10 = 26.5%

Let her Income be Rs. 100 

Saving = 30% of 100

⇒ Saving = 30/100 × 100

⇒ Saving = 30

Expenditure = 100 – 30 = 70

Saving increased by 30%

⇒ 30 × (100 + 30)/100

⇒ 30 × 130/100 = 39

Expenditure increases by 25%

⇒ 70 × (100 + 25)/100

⇒ 70 × 125/100 = 87.5

New Income = 87.5 + 39 = 126.5

Increased by initial income,

⇒ 126.5 – 100 = 26.5

Percent increased = 26.5/100 × 100

⇒ Percent increased = 26.5%

∴ Her income increased by 26.5%.

Given:

The number of total employees in company C is 360

The number of total employees in company E is 280

The ratio of male and female in company C is 8 : 07

The ratio of male and female in company E is 3 : 05

Calculation:

The number of female employees in company C = 360 × 7/15 = 168

The number of male employees in company E = 280 × 3/8 = 105

Difference = 168 -105 = 63

∴ % of more employees = (63/105)× 100 = 60%

Given: 

Total employees in company A is 380, company B is 420, and company E is 280 

The ratio of male and female in company A, B, and E is respectively 13 : 6, 4 : 3, and 3 : 5

Calculation: 

Number of male employees in company A

⇒ 380 × 13/19

⇒ 260

Number of male employees in company B

⇒ 420 × 4/7

⇒ 240

Number of females employee in company E

⇒ 280 × 5/8

⇒ 175

Now, the total number of male employees in company A and B

⇒ 260 + 240

⇒ 500

Now, we have to find the number of a female employee of company E is what percent of a male employee of company A and B

⇒ (175/500) × 100%

⇒ 35%

∴ 35%

Given:-

Least number when divided by 21, 28, 30, and 35 leaves 10 as a remainder in each case 

Concept

When a number divides by certain numbers and leaves same  remainder in each case then their LCM also divisibly by that number

CALCULATION:-

On Taking L.C.M of 21, 28, 30, and 35 = 420

Least number 420k + 10 is divisible by 17 = 420 × 2 + 10 = 850

Least number which when divided by 21, 28, 30 , and 35 leaves 10

as a remainder in each case but divisible by 17 = 850

∴Sum of digits of this least number = 8 + 5 + 0 = 13

Shortcut Trick

Discount = 12.5% = 1/8 ⇒ SP = (1 − 1/8) × MP = 7/8 of MP.

Given SP = ₹700 ⇒ 7/8 × MP = 700 ⇒ MP = ₹800.

If no discount is given, SP = MP = ₹800.

Profit = 60% = 3/5 ⇒ SP = (1 + 3/5) × CP = 8/5 of CP.

Since SP = ₹800 ⇒ 8/5 × CP = 800 ⇒ CP = ₹500.

∴ The correct answer is ₹500.

Alternate Method

Given:

Selling Price (SP) = ₹700

Discount = 12.5%

Profit without discount = 60%

Formula Used:

SP = MP × (100 − Discount%) ÷ 100

SP = CP × (100 + Profit%) ÷ 100

Calculations:

⇒ Let Marked Price be MP.

⇒ SP = MP × (100 − 12.5) ÷ 100

⇒ 700 = MP × 87.5 ÷ 100

⇒ 700 = MP × 7 ÷ 8

⇒ MP = 700 × 8 ÷ 7 = ₹800

⇒ If no discount is given, the selling price equals the marked price.

⇒ New SP = ₹800

⇒ Profit% in this case = 60%

⇒ New SP = CP × (100 + 60) ÷ 100

⇒ 800 = CP × 160 ÷ 100

⇒ 800 = CP × 8 ÷ 5

⇒ CP = 800 × 5 ÷ 8 = ₹500

∴ The correct answer is ₹500.

Additional Information

Marked Price and Selling Price

Marked Price (MP) is the printed price of an article. Discount is always calculated on the MP. Formula: SP = MP − Discount.

Direct Relation between CP and MP

A highly useful formula linking Cost Price and Marked Price directly is: CP / MP = (100 − Discount%) / (100 + Profit%).

Successive Discounts

If two successive discounts of d₁% and d₂% are given, the equivalent single discount is (d₁ + d₂ − d₁×d₂ / 100)%.

Given:

A pipe can fill a tank in 10 minutes

Another pipe can empty it in 12 minutes

They are opened alternately

Beginning with the first pipe

Calculation:

A → +10, B → -12 (lcm of 10,12 is 60) than 

efficiency of A is +6 and B is -5

They opened alternative so A fill 6 litres in 1 minute and B empty 5 litres in 1 minute

They fill together 1 litre in 2 minutes 

They fill 1 × 54 is 54 litre in 2 × 54 is 108 minutes 

(∵ total = 60 litre)

Remaining 6 litre fill by the first pipe in 1 minute because his efficiency is 6litre/min

∴ the tank will full after 108 + 1 is 109 minutes

Short trick:

Note:

This type of question always filling pipe per unit work or capacity subtracted.

⇒ 60 - 6 = 54 litre, 

Then clear the multiply 54 in (2 min → 1 litre)

⇒ 108 min → 54 litre

Add the 1 min, previously subtracted

⇒ 108 + 1 min → 54 + 6

⇒ 109 min → 60 litres. 

Approach this method, definitely your answer is correct.

Given:

2m + 7w = 14 days

3m + 8w = 11 days

Formula used:

Total work = Efficiency × days 

Calculations:

⇒ (2m + 7w)14 = (3m + 8w)11

⇒ 28m + 98w = 33m + 88w

⇒ 10w = 5m

⇒ m/w = 2/1

⇒ Total work = (2 × 2 + 7 × 1) × 14

⇒ Total work = 11 × 14

Time taken by 5m and 4 w = (11 × 14)/(5 × 2 + 4 × 1)

⇒ 11 days

∴ Time taken by 5 man and 4 woman is 11 days.

GIVEN:- 

1.25 - [1 ÷ {3 + ( 2 - 0.4 × 2.5)}]

CALCULATION:-

\(1.25 - ;\left[ {1; \div ;\left{ {3 + ;\left( {2 - ;.4 \times 2.5} \right)} \right}} \right]\)

 \(;;\Rightarrow 1.25 - ;\left[ {1; \div ;\left{ {3 + ;\left( {2 - 1} \right)} \right}} \right]\) 

 \(\Rightarrow 1.25 - ;\left[ {1; \div ;\left{ {3 + 1} \right}} \right]\)  

 $\Rightarrow 1.25 - ;\left[ {1; \div 4} \right] \Rightarrow 1.25 - ;.25 = 1$

Given:

The total number of employees in company C is 360

The total number of employees in company D is 320

The ratio of male and female in company C is 8 : 07

The ratio of male and female in company D is 11 : 09

Calculation:

The number of male employees in company C = 360 × 8/15 = 192

The number of female employees in company D = 320 × 9/20 = 144

∴ ratio of male and female = 192 : 144 = 4 : 3

Given: 

S.I = 3731 Rs

R = 14%

T = 13/4 years

Concept: 

S.I = (P × R × T)/100 

Amount = Principal + interest

Calculation: 

Let the sum is x

S.I = (P × R × T)/100

⇒ 3731 = (x × 14 × 13)/400

⇒ x = (3731 × 400)/(14 × 13)

⇒ x = 8200

So, sum is 8200 Rs

Now, S.I for same sum at 7% for 11/2 years

New S.I = (8200 × 7 × 11)/200

⇒ 3157 Rs

So, Amount = Principal + Interest

⇒ 8200 + 3157

⇒ 11357 Rs

∴ 11357

Given:

P = 15625, R = 16%, T = $2\frac{3}{4}$ years

Formula Used:

A = P(1 + R/100)ⁿ,

CI = A – P,

Where, 

A is amount,

P is principle,

CI is compound interest,

R is rate of interest,

n is number of years

Concept used:

Time = $2\frac{3}{4}$years = 2years + 3/4 years

Calculation:

By using the formula for 2 years,

⇒ A = 15,625(1 + 16/100)²

⇒ A = 15,625(1 + 4/25)²

⇒ A = 15,625 (29/25)²

⇒ A = 15,625 × 29/25 × 29/25

⇒ A = 21,025

CI = 21,025 – 15,625

⇒ CI for 2 years is = 5,400

Now for 3/4 years,

⇒ CI = (21025 × 3/4 × 16)/100

⇒ CI = 2523

⇒ CI for 3/4 years = 2523

Total CI = 5,400 + 2523

⇒ Total CI = 7923

∴ Total compound interest is Rs. 7,923.

GIVEN:-

 Length and Breadth of the rectangular park = 240 m and 100 m, Area of the park, excluding the lawn = 3904 m²

FORMULA USED:-

Area of Rectangle = Length × Breadth 

Area of Circle = πR²

The perimeter of Circle  = 2πR

Area of the rectangular park - Area of the circular lawn

CALCULATION:-

⇒ 240 × 100 - πR² = 3904 

⇒ 3.14 × R² = 24000 - 3904 = 20096

⇒ R² = 20096 ÷ 3.14 = 6400 

⇒ R = 80 m

The radius of the circular lawn = 80 m

⇒ Perimeter of circular lawn = 2πR

⇒  2 × 3.14 × 80 = 502.4 m

∴ The perimeter of the circular lawn = 502.4 m

Calculation:

Let CP = 100a

SP = 84a

Loss = 16a

⇒ Loss % = 16a/100a × 100 = 16%

New CP = 120a

New SP = 84a × 125/100 = 105a

Loss = 120a - 105a = 15a

⇒ loss% = 15a/120a × 100 = 12.5%

So, Decrease in loss% = (16 - 12.5)/16 × 100

⇒ 3.5/16 × 100

⇒ 350/16 = 175/8 = 21.875% = 21.9%

Hence, the correct answer is a 21.9% decrease.

Given: 

1, 2, 5, 9, 6, 3, 9, 7, 4, 3, 9, 1, 9, 6, 8, 1

Concept: 

Mean = sum of all observations/number of observations 

Range = Highest value - lowest value

Median: First arrange the data in ascending or descending order 

when 'n' is odd then median is (n + 1)/2 th term of the data, when is even then median is the mean of the middle term of the data

Which number comes more times is the mode of the data

Calculation: 

First data arrange in ascending order

1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 9

Range = 9 - 1

⇒ 8

Here, n = 16(even)

The middle term of the data is 5 and 6

Median = (5 + 6)/2

⇒ 5.5

The mode is 9, because 9 comes 4 times 

 So, the mean of range, median, and mode of the data is

Mean = (9 + 5.5 + 8)/3

⇒ 22.5/3

⇒ 7.5

∴ 7.5

Given:

(x + 4) : (x + 12) : : (x - 1) : (x + 5)

Calculations:

⇒ (x + 4)/(x + 12) = (x - 1)/(x + 5) 

⇒ (x + 4) × (x + 5) = (x - 1) × (x + 12)

⇒ x² - x + 12x -12 = x² + 5x + 4x + 20

⇒ 2x = 32

⇒ x = 16

Formula used:

x,y is quantity so the mean proportion = √ xy

⇒ √ 16 × √ 16 - 7

⇒ 4 × 3

⇒ 12

∴ 12 will be the mean proportion.

GIVEN:- 

Initial speed = 10 km/hr 

Increased speed = 15 km/hr

Time difference = 20 - 5 = 15 minutes 

FORMULA USED:-

 $;Distance = ;\frac{{product;of;speed}}{{difference of speed}} \times difference;of;time$

CALCULATION:-

 distance = $\frac{{10 \times 15}}{5} \times \frac{{15}}{{60}} ⇒ 7.5$

 ∴ Distance b/w his office and house = 7.5 km

Given: 

Average = 155.5 cm

4 persons of height 154.6 cm, 158.4 cm, 152.2 cm, and 153.8 cm leave the group, then the average of remaining persons is increased by 0.15 cm.

Concept: 

Average = sum of all observations/number of observations

Calculations: 

Let the total number of the person initially in the group is x

Now, the sum of the height of all person is

⇒ 155.5x cm

Sum of the height of 4 persons which leave the group

⇒ (154.6 + 158.4 + 152.2 + 153.8) cm

⇒ 619 cm

Now, the sum of the height of remaining persons of the group is

⇒ (155.5x - 619) cm

The remaining number of the person in the group is

⇒ (x - 4)

New average of the group is 

⇒ 155.5 + 0.15

⇒ 155.65 cm

Sum of observations = average × number of observations

⇒ 155.65(x - 4) = 155.5x - 619

⇒ 155.65x - 622.60 = 155.5x - 619

⇒ 155.65x - 155.5x = 622.60 - 619.00

⇒ 0.15x = 3.60

⇒ x = 3.60/0.15

⇒ x = 24

Hence, the number of persons in the group initially is 24 

 

Short trick: 

Sum of the height of 4 persons which leave the group is

⇒ (154.6 + 158.4 + 152.2 + 153.8) cm

⇒ 619 cm

A/c to average(155.5 cm) sum height of 4 persons is

⇒ 4 × 155.5

⇒ 622 cm

The difference in both sum

⇒ 622 - 619

⇒ 3 cm

This extra 3 cm distributed among the remaining persons

⇒ 3/0.15

⇒ 20

So, the total number of persons in the group 

⇒ 20 + 4

⇒ 24

∴ 24

Given:

Sums are = 172, 216, 180

Let, the no. are a, b and c 

Calculations:

⇒ (a + b)/2 + c = 172

⇒ a + b + 2c = 344      ----(1)

⇒ (b + c)/2 + a = 216

⇒ b + c + 2a = 432      ----(2)

⇒ (a + c)/2 + b = 180

⇒ a + c + 2b = 360      ----(3)

By adding equation (1), (2) and (3)

⇒ 4(a + b + c) = 1136

⇒ a + b + c = 284      ----(4)

Now, we have to find the average of all three numbers

So, Required Average = (a + b + c)/3

⇒ 284/3

∴ The required Average is  $94\frac{2}{3}$.

Given:

The ratio of two numbers = 3 ∶ 5 

After subtracted 9 from each number so new ratio = 12 ∶ 23

Calculations:

Let the first and second number be 3x and 5x respectively

According to the question,

(3x – 9)/(5x – 9) = 12/23

⇒ (x – 3)/(5x – 9) = 4/23 

⇒ 23x – 69 = 20x – 36 

⇒ 3x = 33 

⇒ x = 11 

So, first number = 3x = 33 

Second number = 5x = 55 

3 is added to the smaller number and 7 is subtracted from the other number

Required ratio = (33 + 3) ∶ (55 – 7) = 36 ∶ 48 = 3 ∶ 4

∴ Required ratio is 3 ∶ 4

GIVEN:-

Distance = 360 km,

Difference b/w time taken = 3 hours 

FORMULA USED:-

 $Distance= \frac{{product;of;speed}}{{difference;of;speed}} \times \left( {;time difference} \right)$ 

Calculation

 Let speed of train be x km/hr 

 $\Rightarrow 360 = ;\frac{{x;\left( {x + 10} \right)}}{{10}} \times 3; \Rightarrow 1200 = x;\left( {x + 10} \right) \Rightarrow x = 30$

∴ speed of the train = 30 km/hr

 Increased speed is 40 km/hr

Given:

The curved surface area of A is twice that of B

The slant height of B is twice that of A

Formula used:

CSA of cone =πrl

Calculation:

Let radius of cone A = r₁ and

radius of cone B = r₂

if slant height of A is l then slant height of B is 2l

now,

πr₁l = (πr₂ × 2l) × 2

⇒ πr₁l = 4πr₂l

∴ r₁/r₂ = 4/1 = 4 : 1

The correct answer is could have​.
