A group of students decided to buy a gift for the
class teacher on the ocassion of her birthday
costing between Rs.208 and 231 by
contributing equally At the last moment, two
students backed out of the decision and the
remaining students then had to contribute one
rupee more than what they had earlier planned
for. Find the price of the gift if all the students
contributed equally?
• Options: 222,218,220,215

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• SOLVE USING OPTIONS….
• let us assume the price to be X and number of
students to be Y.
• X/Y = X / (Y-1) + (Y-1)
• Let us look at the factors of these numbers: 220
has two nearby factors : 22 and 20. when
divided by 22, we have 10 to be contributed by
each. suppose 2 students left out, now we have
20 students, each has to contribute Rs. 11. thus
this amount is one rupee more. Thus this is the
answer.

Four friends, A, B, C and D got the
top four ranks in a competitive
examination, but A did not get the
first, B did not get the second, C did
not get the third and D did not get
the fourth rank. Who secured which
rank?

• Statements : (A) Neither A nor D were


among the first 2. (b) Neither B nor C was
third or fourth.
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
SOLUTION
• WE CAN DRAW ANSWER FROM ANY
OF THESE STATEMENTS.
• From the first statement the answer is :
• B,C,D,A
• From B statement :
• B,C,D,A.
• Thus the answer can be drawn from only
one (anyone ) statement from the two
statements.

Is n odd?
(A) n is divisible by 3, 5, 7 and 9.
(B) 0<n<400
• There is only one such number which is
divisible by 3,5,7,9 and also less than 400.
this number is 315. this is odd number,
thus answer can be drawn with the help of
both the statements together.
(find LCM of 5,7,9 and get the answer).
Answer.

• We know that multiple of 4 is always 6 – if
the power is in multiple of 2. So in both the
cases the unit digit is 6.
• 6*6 = 36, so again the unit digit will be 6.
However, in this case one of the power is
103, thus the unit digit here will be 4.
• 6*4 = 4.
• Thus the unit digit will be 4. answer.

• Options:
• 3,11, 17, 13
• Let us take 4^61 as common
• 1 + 4^1+4^2+4^3 = 85
• 85 is divisible by 17, thus this number is
divisible by 17

Solve the following?

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• Answer can be drawn from the first
statement alone.
• We know that log (base10) 1000 is 3 and
we know that log (base 10) 10 = 1.
• 3 – 1 = 2. Thus we know that X = 100.
Thus we can say that X is not equal to 2.
so answer can be drawn from the first
statement alone.

The annual increase in the
population of a town is 10%
and the present population be
13310, then what was it
three years ago?

• Suppose three years ago population was


100, today it should be 100*(1.1)^3
• =133.1
• Thus population 3 years ago was :
100/133.1*13310 = 10000 answer.

In a mixed school, 20 percent of the
scholars are children under 7 and
the number of girls above 7 is 2/3
of the number of boys above 7 and
amounts to 64. Find the number of
the scholars in the school.

• No. of girls above 7 = 64


• No. of boys above 7 = 64*3/2 = 96
• Total children above 7= 160.
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
Solution …
• Since 20%children are below 7, 80% are
above 7 years of age .
• Thus total number of scholars are
100/80 *160
• =200 answer.

A reduction of 25% in the price of
suger would enable a purchaser to
obtain 25 kg more for Rs.45. What
is the
reduced price per kg?
• Let us assume reduced price to be X.
• Original price = 1.33X
• 45/X - 45/1.33X = 25
• (60 – 45) / 1.33X = 25
• 15 = 100/3 X or X = 45/100 or .45 per KG
• (original price 60, reduced price 45 paise per kg)

In a student hostel the number of
students increases at a
certain rate per annum Four years
ago the number of
boarders was 49, now it is 196
What will be the number of
students after 2 years.
• Let us find the number of students 2 years ago: =
sqrt (49*196) = 98
• Thus number of students after 2 years : =196/98 *
196 = 392 answer.

• Let us assume that the initial price was X.


• Reduced price = .6X
• 10/.6x - `10/X = 56

second diminish?
• Let us assume the two numbers to be 10
each. The product is 100. first number
becomes 14. the second number is :
100/14 = 7.14
• Thus the second number reduces by
28.6%

90 KM per hour each. They 1
minute to cross each other. What is
the length of each of these trains?

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• Speed of 1 train : 90
• Speed in meters / per second = 90*5/18
• =25 meters per second.
• The combined speed is 50 meters per
second.
• Thus the two trains have taken 60
seconds and have travelled : 60*50=3000
• Thus length of one train = 1500 meters.

How many 5 digit multiples of 11
are there, If the 5 digits are
3,4,5,6,7?
• We have only 5 digits, which we can
interchange. The total of these numbers is
25. for 11 to divide the difference of the
alternate groups of numbers must be either 0
or 11. (25-11) = 14, dividing it in 2 parts, we
get 7,7. thus alternate totals must be 7 and
18.
• Thus possible numbers are: 53647. We can
inter-change 5,6,7 and also 3 and 4.
• Thus 3! *2! = 12 is the answer.

In a showroom there is ‘Buy 2 Get Some
Free” offer. The number of free shirts (of
same type) is to be decided by tossing a
coin, on which numbers 2 and 3 are written
on its sides. The number of free shirts is
equal to the number that appears after
tossing the coin. By how much percent
more than the cost price the selling price of
a shirt is kept so that the showroom dealer
must not incure any loses?

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• Let us assume that the cost of one shirt is
100.
• Expected value = 2 *.5 + 3*.5 = 2.5
• Thus when he sells for 200, his cost is
450. he gets 225 per shirt.
• He must keep at least 125% above the
cost to ensure no profit no loss.

What is the maximum number of
soaps that can be produced in a
day?
• A factozy uses two
machines, M1 and M2 to
manufacture three
types of soap, P, Q & R.
The efficiency of the
two machines with
respect to the three
types of soap is given
in the table below. The
numbers indicate the
time taken (in min.) by
the two machines to
manul.lcture one unit
each of the three types
of soap.
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
Solution
• Let us assume that machine works for 12
hours. Machine M1 will make P (because
the required is minimum) and M2 will
make Q. Thus total production is :
• (12*60)/8 = 90
• (12*60)/9 = 80
• Thus they will make total 170 soaps.

Which is the most logical idea?
• If an ant were as big as a horse, could it
move mountains?
• No. A giant ant . . . . . (select from a,b,c,d)
• (a) Would be a structural failure.
• (b) Would never be able to move
mountains.
• (c) Would be a mere curiosity.
• (d) Would never be able to hunt for food.
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
Solution
• A giant Ant would not be able to move
mountains because it is just a curoisity
(we are not sure about what could it do).
Other options are not logical – as logically
we cannot say that it is structural failure or
it cannot hunt for food or it cannot move
mountains.

Puzzle
• Goti and I started walking towards each
other from two places lOO m apart. After
walking 30m, Goti turns left and goes lO
m, then he turns right and goes 20m then
turns right again and comes back to the
road and starts walking. If we walk with
the same speed, what is the distance
between us at this point of time

www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS


Solution
• (Goti walks 70 meters in all), so I walk 70
meters towards Goti’s starting point and
now I am 30 meters from that. Goti takes
only 30+20 meters on the road. Thus Goti
is 50 meters from my starting point. Thus
there is a gap of 20 meters between me
and Goti. Answer.

Sum of 1st to 30th terms of a series
in arithmetic
progèssion is 150. if the first term is
A, what is 30th term of the series?
• Sum = 30/2 (2a + (29)D) = 150
• 2a + 29d =150*2/30 = or 29 D = 10 – 2A
• 30th term = A + 29D
• 29 D = 10 – 2A, putting the value, we get the answer
= 10 – A answer

• 180 – 60 – 37 – x
• =83 – x
• Let us sum up for two angles:
• (180+180 ) = 360
• 83-x + 83 – x + 180+2X = 360
• 2Y +2X = 180 let us assume Y = 53
• 2X = 72 or X = 36 answer (solve by options,
