Question 1 of 5
1. Question
In a certain code, if 125 is written as 512 and 343 is written as 1000, then how is 27 written in that code?
Correct
Answer: (a)
Explanation
125 = 5×5×5 is coded as 512 = 8×8×8
343 = 7×7×7 is coded as 1000 = 10×10×10
So, 27 = 3×3×3 would be coded as 216 = 6×6×6Hence, option (a) is correct.
Incorrect
Answer: (a)
Explanation
125 = 5×5×5 is coded as 512 = 8×8×8
343 = 7×7×7 is coded as 1000 = 10×10×10

Question 2 of 5
2. Question
A question is given followed by two statements:
Question: What is the speed of the train?
Statements:
I. The train crosses a platform 300 m long in 30 seconds.
II. The train crosses a man standing on the platform in 18 seconds.Correct
Answer: (d)
Explanation:
Let the train’s length = L metres and its speed = S m/s.From Statement I:
Total distance = L + 300; time = 30 s ⇒ S = (L + 300)/30. (Two variables ⇒ not sufficient.)From Statement II:
Distance = L; time = 18 s ⇒ S = L/18.Solving both equations simultaneously:
L/18 = (L + 300)/30 ⇒ 30L = 18L + 5400 ⇒ 12L = 5400 ⇒ L = 450 m.
Then S = 450 / 18 = 25 m/s = 25 × 18/5 = 90 km/h.Both statements together are required.

Question 3 of 5
3. Question
A fund of ₹75,600 is to be shared among 8 lecturers, 24 staff, and 48 students in the per-head ratio 5 : 4 : 3. Before distributing, 10% of the total is kept aside for a welfare fund and then deducted proportionately from each group’s allocation. What is the final per-student share?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Group-weighted parts:
Lecturers: 8×5 = 40
Staff: 24×4 = 96
Students: 48×3 = 144
Total parts = 40 + 96 + 144 = 280.Each part (before deduction) = 75,600 / 280 = ₹270.
Initial allocations:
• Lecturers = 40×270 = ₹10,800
• Staff = 96×270 = ₹25,920
• Students = 144×270 = ₹38,880
Per student (initial) = 38,880 / 48 = ₹810.10% kept aside proportionately ⇒ everyone loses 10%.
Final per-student = 810 × 0.90 = ₹729.Incorrect
Answer: (c)

Question 4 of 5
4. Question
A, B and C invest respectively ₹9,000 for 12 months, ₹12,000 for 9 months, and ₹15,000 for 6 months. C is the working partner and takes 8% of the profit as commission. If the total profit is ₹17,000, what is C’s share (including commission)?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Capital–months:
A = 9,000×12 = 108,000; B = 12,000×9 = 108,000; C = 15,000×6 = 90,000
Ratio A : B : C = 108,000 : 108,000 : 90,000 = 6 : 6 : 5 (sum = 17)Commission to C = 8% of 17,000 = ₹1,360
Balance for division = 17,000 − 1,360 = ₹15,640From balance, C’s part = (5/17)×15,640 = 5×920 = ₹4,600
Total C (with commission) = 4,600 + 1,360 = ₹5,960.Incorrect
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Capital–months:
A = 9,000×12 = 108,000; B = 12,000×9 = 108,000; C = 15,000×6 = 90,000
Ratio A : B : C = 108,000 : 108,000 : 90,000 = 6 : 6 : 5 (sum = 17)Commission to C = 8% of 17,000 = ₹1,360
Balance for division = 17,000 − 1,360 = ₹15,640From balance, C’s part = (5/17)×15,640 = 5×920 = ₹4,600
Total C (with commission) = 4,600 + 1,360 = ₹5,960. -
Question 5 of 5
5. Question
At the end of one year, what is the ratio of profits of A and B (after paying A a fixed remuneration from profits before division)?
I. A invested ₹60,000 for 12 months; B invested ₹90,000 for 8 months.
II. A, as the working partner, is to receive a fixed remuneration of ₹24,000 from the year’s profit before division.
III. The total profit for the year was ₹1,44,000.Which of the following is correct with respect to above?
Correct
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
From I: capital–months → A = 60,000 × 12 = 7,20,000; B = 90,000 × 8 = 7,20,000 → balance ratio 1 : 1.
From II and III: Total profit = ₹1,44,000; pay fixed ₹24,000 to A; balance = ₹1,20,000 to be split equally → ₹60,000 each.
Thus final: A = 24,000 + 60,000 = ₹84,000; B = ₹60,000 → ratio 84 : 60 = 7 : 5.
Here the fixed remuneration makes the ratio depend on the actual total profit, so III is essential; all I, II and III together are required.Incorrect
Answer: (c)
Explanation:
From I: capital–months → A = 60,000 × 12 = 7,20,000; B = 90,000 × 8 = 7,20,000 → balance ratio 1 : 1.
From II and III: Total profit = ₹1,44,000; pay fixed ₹24,000 to A; balance = ₹1,20,000 to be split equally → ₹60,000 each.
Thus final: A = 24,000 + 60,000 = ₹84,000; B = ₹60,000 → ratio 84 : 60 = 7 : 5.
Here the fixed remuneration makes the ratio depend on the actual total profit, so III is essential; all I, II and III together are required.
