The problem given below consists of a question and two statements numbered I and II. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question.

How many sisters does Sunny have?
I. Sunny is the only son of his parents.
II. Sunny’s parents have three children.

(1) Only statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.
(2) Only statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.
(3) Statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.

A boy leaves his house. He travels 6 km towards South, then travels 8 km towards West and further travels 9 km towards South. How far and in which direction is he from his house now?
(1) 13 km, South West
(2) 17 km, South West
(3) 17 km, North West
(4) 13 km, West
(2) 17 km, South West
  1. Total distance traveled South: 6 + 9 = 15 km.
  2. Total distance traveled West: 8 km.
  3. Using the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the straight-line distance:
    Distance = √(15² + 8²) = √225 + 64 = √289 = 17 km.
  4. Since the movement is South and West, the direction is South West.
Find out which of the answer figures completes the figure matrix: (3)

A clock seen through a mirror shows ‘quarter to seven’. What is the correct time shown by the clock?
(1) 6:15
(2) 6:17
(3) 5:17
(4) 5:15
(4) 5:15
  1. “Quarter to seven” means the time shown is 6:45.
  2. To find the actual time, subtract the mirror image time from 12:00.
  3. Calculation: 12:00 - 6:45 = 5:15.
  4. Therefore, the correct time is 5:15.

Simplify 24 ÷ 4 × 2 + 8 − 4
(1) 1
(2) 7
(3) 16
(4) 56
(3) 16
  1. Perform division and multiplication first: 24 ÷ 4 = 6, then 6 × 2 = 12.
  2. Continue with addition and subtraction: 12 + 8 − 4 = 16.
The present age of Harish is 8 times the sum of the ages of his two sons. After 8 years, his age will be twice the sum of the ages of his sons. What is Harish’s present age?
(1) 31
(2) 32
(3) 33
(4) 34
(2) 32
  1. Let the sum of the ages of Harish’s sons be x.
  2. Harish’s age is 8x.
  3. After 8 years, 8x + 8 = 2(x + 16).
  4. Solving gives x = 4, so Harish’s age is 32.
In a class of 40 students, the ratio of boys and girls is 3 : 2 and the average marks scored by boys is 42 and by girls is 46. Then the average marks scored by the whole class is:
(1) 43.4
(2) 43.6
(3) 43.8
(4) 44
(2) 43.6 1. Let the number of boys be 3x and girls be 2x, where 3x + 2x = 40 ⇒ x = 8.
2. Then, boys = 24 and girls = 16.
3. Total marks for boys = 24 × 42 = 1008.
4. Total marks for girls = 16 × 46 = 736.
5. Average marks for the class:
Average = (1008 + 736) / 40 = 43.6
The sum of three numbers is 136. If the ratio between the first number and the second number is 2 : 3 and that between the second and the third number is 5 : 3, then the first number is:
(1) 42
(2) 40
(3) 36
(4) 32
(2) 40 1. Let the three numbers be 2y, 3y, and 3z.
2. Since 3y = 5z, y = (5z) / 3.
3. Substitute in the sum equation:
2y + 3y + 3z = 136 ⇒ 10z / 3 + 3z = 136
4. Solving gives z = 24 and y = 40, so the first number is 40.
An item is sold for Rs. 504 after allowing 20% discount and still a profit of 5% has been earned. The marked price is how much more than the cost price?
(1) Rs. 120
(2) Rs. 135
(3) Rs. 150
(4) Rs. 160
(3) Rs. 150 1. Let the cost price be x.
2. Selling price after 5% profit is 1.05x = 504, so x = 504 / 1.05 = 480.
3. Marked price (before discount) is 504 / 0.8 = 630.
4. Difference between marked price and cost price is 630 - 480 = 150.
A certain sum becomes Rs. 2,356 in 3 years and Rs. 2,660 in 5 years on simple interest. The value of the sum is:

(2) Rs. 1,880
(3) Rs. 1,900
(4) Rs. 1,980
(3) Rs. 1,900 1. Difference in interest over 2 years: 2,660 - 2,356 = 304.
2. Annual interest: 304 / 2 = 152.
3. Sum = 2,356 - (3 × 152) = 1,900.
In a square, lengths of the diagonals are (4k + 6) cm and (7k - 3) cm. The area of the square (in cm²) is:

        David can row a boat in still water at the rate of 5 km/hr. He rowed in a river downstream to meet his friend. After returning back, he observed that the duration of the upstream journey was three times that of the downstream journey. The speed of the stream was:

          • 2 km/hr
          • 2.5 km/hr
          • 3 km/hr
          • 3.5 km/hr

          A furniture trader deals in tables and chairs. He has Rs. 75,000 to invest and a space to store at most 60 items. A table costs him Rs. 1,500 and a chair costs him Rs. 1,000. The trader earns a profit of Rs. 400 and Rs. 250 on a table and chair, respectively. Assuming that he can sell all the items that he can buy, which of the following is/are true for the above problem:

          (A) Let the trader buy \( x \) tables and \( y \) chairs. Let \( Z \) denote the total profit. Thus, the mathematical formulation of the given problem is:

          \[ Z = 400x + 250y, \]

          subject to constraints:

          \[ x + y \leq 60, \quad 3x + 2y \leq 150, \quad x \geq 0, \quad y \geq 0. \]

          (B) The corner points of the feasible region are (0, 0), (50, 0), (30, 30), and (0, 60).

          (C) Maximum profit is Rs. 19,500 when trader purchases 60 chairs only.

          (D) Maximum profit is Rs. 20,000 when trader purchases 50 tables only.

          Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

            • (A), (B), and (C) only
            • (A), (B), and (D) only
            • (B) and (C) only
            • (B), (C), and (D) only

            In a series of 4 trials, the probability of getting two successes is equal to the probability of getting three successes. The probability of getting at least one success is:

              • \(\frac{609}{625}\)
              • \(\frac{16}{625}\)
              • \(\frac{513}{625}\)
              • \(\frac{112}{625}\)
