B) 41/110
C) 13/66
D) 47/66
E) 21/65D) 47/66
Explanation:
Case 1: 1 green+1 yellow
3C1*4C1/12C2
Case 2: 1 green+1 blue
3C1*5C1/12C2
Case 3: 1 yellow+1 blue

Add all cases - Asha and Manisha have their ages in the ratio 2 : 3 respectively and that of Asha to Anisha is 4 : 9 respectively. Also the difference in the ages of Manish and Anisha is 15 years. What is the age of Anisha?
A) 25
B) 52
C) 45
D) 48
E) 36C) 45
Explanation:
Let Asha = A, Manisha = B, Asnisha = C
B/A = 3/2 and A/C = 4/9
So B : A : C = 3*4 : 2*4 : 2*9 = 6 : 4 : 9
A = 6x, B = 4x, C = 9x
So 9x – 6x = 15, this gives x = 5
Age of Anisha = 9x = 45 - A person invested a total of Rs 22,000 in two schemes A and B. Scheme A offers 6% as interest rate and scheme B offers 8% interest rate. At the end of year, the interest from one of the scheme is twice that from another scheme. What is the amount invested in scheme A?
A) Rs 14,650
B) Rs 12,050
C) Rs 16,500
D) Rs 16,000
E) Rs 15,000D) Rs 16,000
Explanation:
x*6/100 = 2 [(22000-x)*8/100]
Solve, x = 16000 - From a 80 litres mixture of milk and water, 40% of milk and 20% of water is taken out. What is the initial quantity of milk present in the mixture if after the process, 35% of the mixture was taken out?
A) 54 litres
B) 60 litres
C) 62 litres
D) 49 litres
E) 56 litresB) 60 litres
Explanation:
By method of allegation:
Milk water
40% 20%
. 35%
15% 5%
15 : 5 = 3 : 1
Milk = 3/(3+1) * 80 = 60 l - A, B and C started a business by investing Rs 5400, Rs 6000 and Rs 4800 respectively. After 7 months A withdrew Rs 300 and B Rs 600 while C added Rs 900. What is the share of B from a total profit of Rs 84,240 at the end of a year?
A) Rs 26,500
B) Rs 24,000
C) Rs 25,300
D) Rs 29,900
E) None of theseD) Rs 29,900
Explanation:
5400*7 + 5100*5 : 6000*7 + 5400*5 : 4800*7 + 5700*5
211 : 230 : 207
B gets = (230/648) * 84240 - Travelling at a speed of 6 km/hr takes 40 mins longer to reach to a certain destination and travelling at 8 km/kr covers the same distance in 12 mins less. What is the distance between the starting point and destination?
A) 25.5 km
B) 28.6 km
C) 18.2 km
D) 20.8 km
E) None of theseD) 20.8 km
Explanation:

[6*8/(8-6)] * 52/60 - A and B alone can complete a piece of work in 30 and 36 days respectively. A starts the work and after working for 5 days, B replaces A. In how many days B will do the remaining work?
A) 25days
B) 32days
C) 33days
D) 30days
E) None of theseD) 30days
Explanation:
A works in 30 days, so in 5 days he completes (1/30)*5 = 1/6th of work
Remaining work = 1 – 1/6 = 5/6
B do 1 work in 36 days, so 5/6 work in (5/6)*36 - There are 3 pipes A, B and C. A and B alone can fill a tank in 20 minutes and 40 minutes respectively while C can empty the tank in 20 minutes. A and B are opened for 7 minutes after which C is also opened. In how much time the tank will be filled?
A) 22 minutes
B) 32 minutes
C) 30 minutes
D) 26 minutes
E) 25 minutesD) 26 minutes
Explanation:
Let after 7 minutes, tank takes x more minutes to be filled. So
(1/20 + 1/40)*7 + (1/20 + 1/40 – 1/20)*x = 1
Solve, x = 19
So total time to fill the tank = 19+7 - When 4 is added to the numerator of a fraction and 5 is added to its denominator, the new fraction becomes 4/5. What is the original fraction?
A) 5/4
B) 4/5
C) 4/9
D) 9/11
E) None of theseB) 4/5
Explanation:
x/y
(x+4)/(y+5) = 4/5
Solve, x = 4/5 * y
So original fraction = [4/5 * y ] / y - Four bells start tolling together and after this they toll at the intervals of 4, 8, 12, and 16 seconds respectively. How many times they will toll together in 12 minutes?
A) 21
B) 15
C) 24
D) 19
E) 16E) 16
Explanation:
LCM of 4, 8, 12, 16 = 48sec
12 minutes = 12*60 = 720 sec
In 720 sec – 720/48 = 15
