Q.3 The difference between a two-digit number and the number obtained by reversing its digits is 36. If the sum of the digits is 10, what is the original number?
Check Solution
Ans: A
Let the original number be 10x + y. Reversed number: 10y + x. (10x + y) – (10y + x) = 36 => 9x – 9y = 36 => x – y = 4. Also, x + y = 10. Adding the equations, 2x = 14 => x = 7. y = 3. Original number = 73.
Q.4 34.97% of 400.05 – 15.03% of 300.08 = ?
Check Solution
Ans: A
Approximately, (35/100)*400 – (15/100)*300 = 140 – 45 = 95
Q.5 15 ร 864 รท 16 = ?

Q.6 12 carpenters can make 18 tables in 15 days. How many tables can 36 carpenters make in 30 days, assuming they work at the same rate?
Check Solution
Ans: B
Let T be tables made, C be carpenters, and D be days. We have the relation: T โ C * D. Therefore, T = k * C * D, where k is a constant. From the given information, 18 = k * 12 * 15. So, k = 18 / (12 * 15) = 1/10. Now, we want to find T when C = 36 and D = 30. T = (1/10) * 36 * 30 = 108
Q.7 The simple interest on a certain sum of money for 3 years at 10% p.a. is Rs. 900. What is the compound interest for the same sum, at the same rate, and for the same time period, compounded annually?
Check Solution
Ans: C
Principal = (Simple Interest * 100) / (Rate * Time) = (900 * 100) / (10 * 3) = Rs. 3000. Compound Interest = Principal * (1 + Rate/100)^Time – Principal = 3000 * (1 + 10/100)^3 – 3000 = 3000 * (1.1)^3 – 3000 = 3000 * 1.331 – 3000 = 3993 – 3000 = Rs. 993.
Q.8 The cost of 16 pens is Rs. 288/-. The cost of 12 pencils is Rs. 48/- and the cost of 10 erasers is Rs. 20/-. What is the total cost of 24 pens, 18 pencils and 15 erasers?
Check Solution
Ans: C
Cost of 1 pen = 288/16 = Rs. 18; Cost of 24 pens = 24 * 18 = Rs. 432; Cost of 1 pencil = 48/12 = Rs. 4; Cost of 18 pencils = 18 * 4 = Rs. 72; Cost of 1 eraser = 20/10 = Rs. 2; Cost of 15 erasers = 15 * 2 = Rs. 30. Total cost = 432 + 72 + 30 = Rs. 534/-
Q.9 The difference between 65% of a number and 40% of the same number is 210. What is 25% of that number?
Check Solution
Ans: B
Let the number be x. 0.65x – 0.40x = 210 0.25x = 210 x = 210 / 0.25 x = 840 Therefore, 25% of the number = 0.25 * 840 = 210
Q.10 In a competitive exam, a candidate needs to score 35% of the total marks to qualify. A student scored 280 marks and failed by 14 marks. What is the total marks of the exam?
Check Solution
Ans: C
Let the total marks be x. The qualifying marks are 280 + 14 = 294. Therefore, 0.35x = 294. Solving for x, x = 294/0.35 = 840.
