  6. The radius of a sphere is 14 cm. The cost of painting the surface of sphere is Rs 25 per square cm. If the radius of sphere is increased by 10%, then the cost of painting is increased by 20%. What is the percentage increase in the total cost of painting per square cm?
    A. 45.2%
    B. 54.27%
    C. 20.3%
    D. 18.2%
    A. 45.2%

    Explanation:
    Radius increases by 10%, so surface area changes by 10+10+((10*10)/100) = 21%
    Total cost of painting = Rate * Surface area of sphere
    So change in cost of painting = 21+20+((21*20)/100) = 45.2%

  7. Out of 7 consonants and 4 vowels, how many words of 3 consonants and 2 vowels can be formed?
    A. 25200
    B. 1050
    C. 210
    D. None of these
    A. 25200
    Explanation:
    7C3 * 4C2 * 5!

  8. The incomes of A and B are in the ratio 3 : 2 and their expenditures are in the ratio 5 : 3. If each saves Rs 2000, what is A’s income?
    A. Rs 15,000
    B. Rs 12,000
    C. Rs 14,000
    D. None of these
    B. Rs 12,000
    Explanation:
    Let incomes be 3x and 2x. Expenditures be 5y and 3y.
    3x – 5y = 2000
    2x – 3y = 2000
    Solve the equations, x = 4000
    So A’s income = 3x = 3*4000 = 12,000

  9. By selling an item at 7/10th of the actual selling price, a trader makes a profit of 20%. If he sells the product at 20% less than the actual selling price, then what will be the profit or loss %?
    A. 30%
    B. 20%
    C. 37 1/7%
    D. 33 1/3%
    C. 37 1/7%

    Explanation:
    C.P. S.P.
    Profit is 20%. So,
    (7/10 S.P. – C.P.)/C.P. * 100 = 20
    This gives S.P. = 12/7 C.P.
    Now product sold at 20% less S.P. i.e. 80/100 or 4/5 of S.P.
    Profit/loss% = (4/5 S.P. – C.P.)/C.P. * 100
    Put S.P. = 12/7 C.P. and find the final answer

  10. A man can row 30 km upstream and 44 km downstream in 10 hrs. Also, he can row 40 km upstream and 55 km downstream in 13 hrs. Find the speed of the man in still water.
    A. 5 km/hr
    B. 8 km/hr
    C. 10 km/hr
    D. 12 km/hr
    B. 8 km/hr
    Explanation:
    Let upstream speed = x, downstream speed = y km/hr
    Then, 30/x + 44/y = 10 and 40/x + 55/y = 13
    Put 1/x = a, 1/y = b
    Solve the equations.
    A = 1/5, b = 1/11
    So, x = 5, y = 11
    Speed in still water = (5+11)/2 = 8
