1. The marked price of an article is 20% above the cost price. When the selling price of an article is increased by 30% the profit doubles. If the market price of an article is 480, the original selling price is.
A. 531.15
B. 537.14
C. 571.4
D. 582.12
Answer – C. 571.4
Explanation:
Given MP = 120/100*CP. So, CP = 400.
SP -400 = P (Profit)
(130/100)*SP – 400 = 2P
Solving both equation we get, SP = 4000/7 = 571.4
2. The average expenditure of Sharma for January to June is Rs. 4200 and he spent Rs. 1200 in January and Rs.1500 in July. The average expenditure for the months of February to July is:
A. 4250
B. 4500
C. 3500
D. 2750
E. 3250
Answer – A. 4250
Explanation:
Total Expenditure(Jan – June) = 4200 * 6 = 25200
Total Expenditure(Feb – June) = 25200 – 1200 = 24000
Total Expenditure(Feb – July) = 24000 + 1500 = 25500/6 = 4250.
Therefore, Average expenditure for months of February to July is 4250

A. 54 kg
B. 53 kg
C. 56 kg
D. 52 kg
E. 50 kg
Answer – C. 56 kg
Explanation:
Average of First six players = 49 * 6 = 294
Average of Last six players = 52 * 6 = 312; Average of all players = 50 * 11 = 550
Average weight of sixth player = 294 + 312 – 550 = 56.

A. 94
B. 561
C. 128
D. 118
E. None of these
Answer – C. 128
Explanation:
49 = 7^2 = m^n
n^m = 2^7 = 128

384 = 4^2×2^2×6
2304 = 4^2×2×6^2
HCF = 4^2×2 = 16×2 = 32
7. HCF of 4/3, 8/6, 36/63 and 20/42
A. 4/126

9. A number of students in 4th and 5th class is in the ratio 6: 11. 40% in class 4 are girls and 48% in class 5 are girls. What percentage of students in both classes are boys?
A. 62.5%
B. 52.6%
C. 55.8%
D. 53.5%
E. 54.8%
Answer – E. 54.8%
Explanation:
Total students in both = 6x+11x = 17x
Boys in class 4 = (60/100)*6x = 360x/100
Boys in class 5 = (52/100)*11x = 572x/100
So total boys = 360x/100 + 572x/100 = 932x/100 = 9.32x
% of boys = [9.32x/17x] * 100 = 54.8%.
10. Consider two alloys A and B. 50 kg of alloy A is mixed with 70 kg of alloy B. A contains brass and copper in the ratio 3 : 2, and B contains them in the ratio 4 : 3 respectively. What is the ratio of copper to brass in the mixture?
A. 7: 5
B. 5: 11
C. 4: 9
D. 5: 7
E. 8: 5
Answer – D. 5: 7
Explanation:
Brass in A = 3/5 * 50 = 30 kg, Brass in B = 4/7 * 70 = 40 kg
Total brass = 30+40 = 70 kg
So copper in mixture is (50+70) – 70 = 50 kg
So copper to brass = 50: 70
11. The ratio of A and B is in the ratio 5: 8. After 6 years, the ratio of ages of A and B will be in the ratio 17: 26. Find the present age of B.

A/B = 5/8 , A+6/B+6 = 17/26
Solve both, B = 72
Therefore, the present age of B is 72.
12. A bag contains 25p, 50p and 1Re coins in the ratio of 2: 4: 5 respectively. If the total money in the bag is Rs 75, find the number of 50p coins in the bag.
A. 40
B. 45
C. 50
D. 25
E. None of these
Answer – A. 40
Explanation:
2x, 4x, 5x
(25/100)*2x + (50/100)*4x + 1*5x = 75
x = 10, so 50 p coins = 4x = 40
13. What is the difference between the selling price of an article costing 1000 rupees when a discount of 20% is given in the article and when two successive discounts of 10% are given in the article?
A. 10
