3. (3) Let the internal radius of the park be r and the external radius (with the path) be
R.
The difference between the internal and external circumferences is 132 m.
.. 2nR - 2nr = 132 ~ 2n (R - Ii = 132

132 ~ R- r = 2n

=132x7=21 2x22
Hence, the width of path = 21 metres

Perimeter of rhombus = 4 x side .. 4 x side = 40

~ side = 40 = 10m.

5. (2) Let the cost price be Rs. 100. .. Marked price •
= Rs. (100 + 15% of 100) = Rs. 115
The goods are sold at the discount of 12%.
.. S.P. = (115 - 12% of 115) = Rs. (115 - 13.80)
= Rs. 101.20
Profit = Rs. (101.20 -100) = Rs. 1.20

65 / 3 m / sec

Distance .. Speed = Time

65 /3 = 800+x / 60
~ (800 + xl x 3 = 65x 60 ~ 800 + x = 65 x 20
~ x = 1300 - 800 = 500 .. Length of tunnel
= 500 metres.
7. (2) Rate downstream

18 /4 = 9/2 =-kmph

Rate upstream = - = 18 /12 = 3/2 kmph.


Now, speed of the stream

Now, required values of x and y whose product is 50 and are coprime, will be 4 and
5.
.. Numbers are 28 and 35 which lie between 20 and 45.
.. Required sum = 28 + 35 = 63.
12. (1) Let the son's present age = x years
.. Father's age = (3x + 3) years. After 3 years,
(3x + 3) + 3 = 2(x + 3) + 10 ~ 3x + 6 = 2x + 16

16. (1) Let the required time = t years, interest is compounded half
yearly

Time = 2t years and rate = 20/2 = 10% = 1000 (1+10/100)2t = 1331

=== (11/10)2t = 1331 / 1000 === (11/10)2t = (11/100)3 === 2t = 3 == t = 3/2

======= t = 3/2 years.

17. (1) Simple interest for 2 years Rs. (568 – 520) = Rs. 48

Interest for 5 years = Rs. 48/2 x 5 = Rs.120

Principal = Rs. (520 -- 120 ) = Rs. 400

18. (2) (A+B) ‘s 1 day work = 1/30=== (A+B)’s 20 days work =


20/30=2/3

Remaining work = 1 – 2/3 = 1/3 . Now 1/3 part of work is done by A in 20 days.

Whole work will be done by A alone in 20 x 3 = 60 days.

19. (2)Let the third pipe can empty the cistern in x minutes.

Part of cistern filled in 1 minute when all three pipes are opened

simultaneously = 1/60 + 1/75 = 1/x

According to the question 1/60 + 1/75 – 1/x = 1/50

=== 1/x = 1/60 + 1/75 – 1/50 == 5+4 – 6 / 300 = == x = 300/3 = 100 minutes.
20.(3) Volume of cone = 1/3 πr2h ======= 1232 = 1/3 x 22/7 x r2 x 24

=== r2 = 1232 x 3 x 7 / 22 x 24 = 49 ==== r2 = 49 === r = 7

Slant height √(24)2 = (7)2 = √576+49 = √625 = 25 cm

Area of curved surface = πrl = 22/7 x 7 x 25 = 550 cm2.

21. (1) From the table it is clear that age upto 15 years accounts for maximum
population as its share is 30 % but out of the given options , the age group ( 16 –
25 ) years accounts for maximum population. Hence equation (1) is true.
22. (1) Below 26 years, the percent of population is (30+17.75) = 47.75.
. The required answer = 47.75% of 4200
47.75 x 4200
100
= 2005.5 = 2006
23. (2) Below 36 years, the percent of population is
(30 + 17.75 + 17.25) =65
:. The required number of people = 200 x 5.12 / 65 = 15.75 millions.

24. (2) Per cent of population in the age group 56 yerars and above
= 5.12 + 1.13 = 6.25
Now. 6.25% of population
= 10 millions
:. Total Population
Difference in per cent of people in the age groups ('16 - 25) and (46 - 55)
= 17.75 - 14.25 = 3.5 .. The required difference = 3.5% of 160 millions
3.5 x 160 /100 = 5.6 millions
Required ratio = 12/5 = 12 : 5
27.(4) In centre is the centre of the circle, so it always lies inside the triangle

27.

28. (3) I. cos 60º = ½ , = 1 – 2sin2 30º = 1 – 2(1/2)2 = 1 – ½ = ½


II. Cos 90º = 0 = 2cos245º – 1 == 2(1/√2) – 1 = 1 – 1 = 0
III. tan 60º – tan 30º / 1 + tan60º x tan30º = tan(60º – 30º) = tan 30º

29. (2) cos2 45º =x2 +sin230º = 3/2 === ½ +x2 + ¼ = 3/2
== x2 + ¾ = 3/2 ==== x2 = 3/2 – ¾ = ¾ === x = √3/2 = sin 60º
30. (2) Let QR be the tower PQ = 200 m and θ = 30º

= 5.6 millions
25. (2) Difference in per cent of people in the age groups (46 - 55) and (26 - 35)
= 17.25 - 14.25 = 3
:. 3% of total Population = 11.75 million
:. Total Population
11.75 x 100
3
= 391.67 millions (approx.)
Then tan 30º = RQ /PQ == RQ = PQ tan 30º == 200x 1/√3 = 200 /√3 m
31. (1) The given expression = 1/3 x 3 x 1/3 / 1/3 ÷(1/3x1/3) – 1/9
==== 1/3 / 1/3÷1/9 – 1/9 == 1/3 / 1/3x9 – 1/9
==== 1/3 /3 – 1/9 == 1/9 – 1/9 = 0
32 (2) Let 0.051 = x and 0.041 = y
The given expression x3 + y3 / x2 – xy + y2 == (x+y)(x2-xy+y2)/x2-xy+y2
== x + y = 0.051 + 0.041 = 0.092.
33.(4) The decimal equivalents of : 6/7=0.857, 5/6 = 0.833, 7/8 = 0.875, 4/5 = 0.8
Obviously, 0.875 is the greatest, 7/8 is the largest fraction.
34. (4) The given expression 11/4 / 11/6÷7/8 (4+3)/12 + 5/7 +3/4 of 3/7
=== (11/4 x 6/11) ÷7/8 x 7/12 +5/7 ÷ (3/4 x 3/7)
==== 3/2 ÷ 7/8 x 7/12 + 5/7 ÷ 9/28 === 3/2 x 8/7 x 7/12 + 5/7 x 28/9
===== 1 + 20/9 = 9 + 20 / 9 = 29/9 = 3 2/9
35. (3) let the mother’s age = x years.
Father’s age = ( x + 8) years
Sum of ages of 6 sons = 8 x 6 = 48 years.
Sum of ages of 6 sons and parents = 22 x 8 = 176 years.
Age of parents = 176 – 48 = 128 years. ==== x + x +8 = 128
2x = 120 ======== x = 120/2 = 60 years.
36. (2) if the S.P. of each of two items sold be the same, on one of them there
is x% loss and on other there is a gain of x% then there is always a loss given by
the rule.
X% of x or x2/100 % === Loss% = (10)2/100 = 1%
37.(3) Equivalent discount of successive discounts of 20% and 105
= (20 +10 – 20 x 10 / 100)% = 28%
Selling price = (100 – 28)% of rs 500.=== 72% of Rs.500
== Rs. 500 x 72/100 = Rs.360.
38.(3) let A’s income = Rs.a and b’s income = Rs.b
A x 60% = b x 75% == a x 4 = 5 x b === b/a = 4/5
Now, b = a x x% === b/a = x/100 ==== x/100 = 4/5 === x = 4/5 x 100 = 80
39. (1) Area of equilateral triangle = √3/4 (side)2 == √3/4 x (side)2 = 400√3
== (side)2 = 400√3 x 4 / √3 == side = √4 x 400 = 40 metres.
Perimeter = 3 x side === 3 x 40 = 120 metres.
40.(3) Walls are 5 cm thick,
Internal length = (330 – 2 x 5 ) cm == 320 cm
Breadth = (260 – 10)cm = 250 cm
Height = (110 – x ) cm Here, the cistern is assumed to be open and x is
thickness of bottom 320 x 250 x (110 – x) = 8000 liters
320 x 250 x (110 – x) == 8000 x 1000 cm3
=== 9110 – x ) = 8000000 / 320 x 250 = = 110 – x = 100
=== x = 10 cm = 1 dm.
41.(1)required time = LCM of 252, 308 and 198 seconds.
Now, 252 = 2 x 2 x 3 x3 x 7 , 308 = 2 x 2 x 7 x 11
198 = 2 x 3 x 3 x 11 === LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11
== 36 x 77 = 36 x 77/ 60 = 231/ 5 = 46 minutes 12 seconds.
42.(1) let the cost price = Rs. x, Marked price = x + 20% of x
= x = x/5 = Rs. 6x /5,=== Selling price = Rs. (6x/5 – 5% of 6x/5)
= Rs. 6x/5 (1 – 1/20) == Rs. 6x/5 x 19/20 = Rs. 57x/50
= profit = 57x/50 – x = Rs.7x/50, Profit % = 7x/50/x x 100 = 14%
43.(3) Work done by 8 men in 6 days = 6/12 = ½
Remaining work = 1 – ½ = ½, 4 more men are engaged.
Total number of men = 8 + 4 = 12
By work and time formula = W1 / M1D1 = W2/M2D2, we have
= 1/8x12 = ½ /12xD2 = = D2 = ½ x 8x12/12 = 4 days.
44.(2) a : b = 2/9 : 1/3 = 2 : 3
b : c = 2/7 : 5/14 = 4 : 5
d : c = 7/10 : 3/5 = 7 : 6 ========= c : d = 6 : 7
Thus, a : b = 2 : 3, b : c = 4 : 5, c : d = 6 : 7
a:b:c:d =2x4x6 :3x4x6:3x5x6:3x5x7
=== 16 : 24 : 30 : 35
45.(1) Weight of copper in 17 kg 500 g i.e., 17500 gm of alloy
5/7 x 17500 = 12500 gm Weight of Zinc = (17500 – 12500) = 5000 gm
1250 gm of zinc is mixed in alloy.
Total weight of zinc = 1250 + 5000 = 6250 gm
Required ratio = 12500 : 62500 = 2 : 1
46.(40 Let the sum be Rs. x
= x x 5 x 15 / 100 x 12 = x x 4 x 8 / 100 x 12 = 129
=== x / 100 x 12 (75 – 32) = 129 ====== x = 129 x 1200 / 43 = Rs.3600
47.(4) Difference of percentages of maximum marks obtained by two candidates
= 32 % -- 20% = 12% Difference of scores between two candidates =
= 32 + 42 = 72, 12% of maximum marks = 72
= maximum marks = 72 x 100/12 = 600
= pass marks = 20% of 600 = 30 = 120 + 30 = 150
Required percentage = 150/600 x 100 = 25%
48.(4) Water content in 40 liters of mixture = 40 x 10/100 = 4 liters
Milk content = 40 – 4 = 36 liters
Let x liters of water is mixed == 4 + x / 40 + x = 20 / 100
= 4 + x / 40 + x = 1/5 == 20 + 5x = 40 + x === 4x = 20
= x = 20/4 = 5 , x = 5 liters.
49.(1) (a + b + c )2 – (a – b – c)2 = ( a + b + c + a – b – c ( a +b + c – a + b + c )
= 2a ( 2b + 2c) = 4a (b + c )
50.(2) The given expression
== 999 995/999x 999 = (999 + 995/999) 999
=== 999 x 999 + 995/999 x 999
=== (1000 – 1 ) 999 + 995 == 999000 – 999 + 995
=== 999000 – 4 = 998996.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words are printed in bold to help you to locate them while answering some of
the questions.
Long ago, the Kingdom of Gandhara was ruled by adjust and good King. His
subjects were very content, but as the King grew older, everyone wondered anxiously
what would happen to the Kingdom. After all the King did not have any children who
could take over the reins of the Kingdom. ,
Now, the King was an avid gardener and put lots of time and effort into tending his
garden and planting the finest flowers, fruits and vegetables. One day, he proclaimed,
"Tomorrow, I shall distribute seeds to the' children of the Kingdom. The one who Is
able to grow the biggest, healthiest plant within three months will be the prince or the
princess." The next day, there was a long line of parents and children outside the palace.
Everyone was eager to get a seed and have the opportunity to be the next King. A poor
, farmer's son was among these children.
Like the King, he too was fond of gardening. His backyard was full of beautiful plants.
He took the seed from the King and planted it in a pot with great care. The weeks passed
and he tilled it with water and manure, but no plant appeared. He tried changing the soil
and even transferred the seed to another pot, but at the end of three months, nothing had
grown.
At last, the day came when the children had to go to the King to show him their plants.
They started walking to the palace, dressed in their belt, holding beautiful plants in their
hands, The farmer's son stood sadly, watching them go by. His father had watched him
working hard with the' seed and felt sorry for him. "Why don't you go to the King with
the empty pot?" he suggested. At least he will know you tried your best. "So the farmer's
son too wore his best clothes and joined the others outside the palace, holding his empty
pot in his hand and ignoring the laughter of those who saw him. Soon the King arrived
and began his inspection. "r have' watered this beautiful flower with the water from the
sacred river," said one. "I have kept my plant in a beautiful glass house to protect It from
bad weather aid another. I have spent all my spare time carrying for this plant said a
third. Thus the children came forward one by one holding flowers of different shades,
which were both beautiful and healthy. The King however did not look happy. At the end
of the line stood the fanner's son, and when the King reached him he stopped In surprise
Child, why have you come with an empty pot? Could you not grow anything?
The boy looked down and said, Forgive me, Your Highness. I tried my best, I gave It the
best soli and manure I had ,but the plant would riot grow, the King's face broke Into a
smile. He enveloped the fanner's son In his arms and announced, "Here Is the crown
princel I had given everyone ,roasted seeds, ,which would never grow, I wanted to see
which child would admit he or she had not been able to grow anything. Only this boy

I. Max Weber laid the foundation for may belief that decent and hard-working
people with high aspirations make great nations, no matter what the odds are.
This was the first piece of the development puzzle for me. Mahatma Gandhi
opened my eyes to the importance of good leadership in raising the
aspirations of people, making them accept sacrifices to achieve a grand vi-
sion. and most importantly, in converting that vision into reality. He
unleashed the most
powerful instrument for gaining trust-leadership by example. He ate, dressed.
travelled and lived like the poor. Walking the talk was extremely important to the
Mahatma who understood the pulse of our people like no other Indian leader. The
biggest lesson for me from Gandhi's book and life is the importance of leading by
example. I realised fairly early that this was the second piece of the development
puzzle.
2. Frantz Fanon's book on the colonizer mindset of elites in a post-colonial society
opened my eyes to the role of the bureaucracy and the elite in decelerating the
progress of the poor and the disenfranchised. The colonial mindset of the 'dark
elite in white masks' in a post-colonial society-the mindset that the ruled and the
rulers have different sets of right and responsibilities with a huge asymmetry in
favour of the rulers-was indeed the third piece of the development puzzle. I see
this attitude of the Indian elite every day in how they said their children to English
medium schools while forcing the children of the poor into vernacular schools.
extol the virtues of poverty while living in . luxury, and glorify the rural life while
they sit comfortably in cities.

On A Tired Housewife
Here lies a poor woman who was always tired,
She lived in a house where help wasn't hired:
Her last words on earth were: 'Dear Friends',
I am going
To where there's no cooking, or washing, or sewing,
For everything there is exact to my wishes,
For where they don't eat there's no washing
of dishes.
I'I1 be where loud anthems will always be ringing,
But having no voice I'l1 be quit of the singing.
Don’t mourn for me now, don't mourn for me never,
1 am going to do nothing for ever and ever.' .
