Solutions with Detailed Explanations:
1. B) We know that efficiency of a pipe is inverse of the time required to
fill the tank.
Efficiency of A = 1/10
Let the time required by
B to fill the tank X working individually be T
Efficiency of B = 1/T
Now, A working with half
of its efficiency and B working with double its efficiency
=> 1/(2 * 10) + 2/T =
1
=> 2/T = 1 – 1/20
=> T = 40/19 = 2
2/19min
2. C) From the previous question's solution, B fills the tank in 2 2/19min =
40/19 min
Given that B fills 380
litres in one minute
Therefore, in 40/19min B
fills = 380 * 40/19 = 800lit
Thus the capacity of tank
X is 800 liters.
3. B) Capacity of tank X = 800 L
Let the capacity of tank
Z be R
C fills tank Z at 200 L
in one minute, while C can fill the tank Z in 18 minutes
Therefore, the capacity
of tank Z (R) = 200 × 18 = 3600 L
⇒ Capacity of new tank P = 3600 + 800 = 4400 L
Now, Rate of D filling
the tank P = 110 L/min
⇒ Time required by D to fill tank P = 4400/110 = 40min
4. B) Pipe A fills tank Z in one minute = 1/12
Pipe B fills tank Z in
one minute = 1/8
Pipe B fills tank Z in
one minute = 1/18
ATQ, A is opened for 3
minutes, B for 4 minutes, C fills the remaining part of the tank in 9.9 minutes
⇒ 3/12 + 4/B + 9.9/18 = 1
⇒ By solving the above equation, B fills the tank Z in 20
minutes
5. A) To find out the average speed using the available data for each truck
from the table :-
We know that, Average
Speed = Total distance covered/Total time taken = s (assume)
Let the Distance covered
= d (in Km)
Time Taken = given for
all trucks (in Hours)
We have the following
relation for Total Payment (= P) in terms of the rate (= Rs. 6/ Km (given)),
Mileage (= M) and the cost of diesel (= Rs. 40/L (given)) :-
Since, Total Payment =
Cost contributed by the rate + Cost of Diesel for d Km at a mileage of M Km/L
P = (d * 6) + d/M * 40
Now, let us find the
average speed for each of the trucks by substituting values from the table:-
Clearly, SA has
the highest value.
(6 – 10): Common Explanation:
Based on above data we
get following results:

6. B) Following common explanation we get :
Production of men’s
clothing items during 2016 = 540000 * 85/100 = 459000
Production of jeans
during 2016 = 96000 * 110/100 = 105600
Remaining men’s clothing
items = (459000 – 105600) = 353400
Let number of Trousers
produced be X.
Then,
Production of T-shirts =
2X and Shirts = 2X
So, (X + 2X + 2X) =
353400 => x = 353400/5 = 70680
Shirts produced = (2 ×
70680) = 141360
7. A) Men’s clothing items produced by LEVI’S = 2000000 * 17/100 = 340000
No. of jeans produced
from Levis = 400000 * 16/100 = 64000
Required percent =
64000/340000 * 100 = 18.82 ≈ 19%
8. C) Total men’s clothing items produced by POLO = 2000000 × 10/100 = 200000
Number of trousers
produced by POLO = 200000 × 40/100 = 80000
Number of Jeans produced
by POLO = 400000 × 20/100 = 80000
Remaining T-shirts and
Shirts = (200000 – (80000 + 80000)) = 40000
Shirts produced = 40000 ×
9/16 = 22500
Required percent =
22500/200000 * 100 = 11.25%
9. E) Total men’s clothing items from Arrow, Levi's and Aeropostale = (300 +
340 + 360) = 1000
Total men’s clothing item
from Vanheusen, Polo and Nike = (260 + 200 + 540) = 1000
Required difference =
(1000 – 1000)/3 = 0
10. D) Total jeans sold = 40000 * 60/100 = 24000
Let cost price be 2Y and
Marked price be 3Y.
Selling price = 3Y ×
80/100 = 2.4Y
Profit =
(2.4Y – 2Y) = 1200
⇒ Y = 1200/0.4 = 3000
Selling price of one
jeans = (2.4 × 3000) = 7200
Required revenue = (7200
× 24000) = 172800000 = Rs. 1728 lakhs
