1. x1 peach + y1 plum = z1 apple, x2 peach + y2 plum = z2 apple ,(x1,y1 .... z2 are integer values) How many peaches make one apple?

Here multiply both equation by y2 and y1 resply

(X₁ peach +Y₁ pulm =Z₁ apple)Y₂

(X₂ peach + Y₂ pulm= Z₂ apple)Y₁

_{_____________________________________________}

X₁Y₂peach+ Y₁Y₂ pulm= Y₂Z₁apple

X₂Y₁peach+Y₁Y₂pulm=Y₁Z₂apple

Now sub both eq than common terms of plum will be cancelled

Then we get one Apple=(X₁Y₂-X₂Y₁/Z₁Y₂-Z₂Y₁)peach

9.In an exam consists of 150 questions, 50 questions are of mathematics and remaining are others. In which twice the time is to be given to mathematics bit when compared to others.total time is 3 hrs then how much time is to be given to each bit of mathematics?

Let x be the time taken by the other subjects then time taken maths is 2x

Then 50(2x)+100(x) =180

100x+100x=180

200x=180

X=9/10

Then time taken by the maths =2*9/10*60=108sec

10)In an multiple choice question paper, each correct answer carries 4 marks and each wrong answer deducts 2 marks. a person scores 480 marks in a 150 questions paper how many questions he did correctly?

Let the correct ans be x and wrong ans be y

Then X+Y=150 à(1)

And for 1 crt ans it carry 4mark and for 1 wrng it carry 2 mark

Then 4X-2Y=480à(2) then mul eq(1) with 2 and add with eq(2)

Then Y terms will be cancelled then we get eq as 6X=780 then X=130

11)A problem on work and time. A can do a work in 6 days B can do same work in 8 days, C can complete the same in 12 days.A under took 3 works like that and did for 8 days and left. Then B started work and did for some days and left then in how many days C completes this work?

No of day work by B is not given. If data is given we should have to submit in this formula m(a)+n(b)+o(c)=1

12)total M persons want to buy a gift of D Rs. Out of which 3 members are dropped out so how much each person have to pay extra ?

Let no.of rupees per head is =D/M

Now 3 members dropped ,no .of rupees per 3mem is =3(D/M)

Then this amount should be divided between rest of the members i.e. M-3

Then =3(D/M)/ (M-3)

=3D/M(M-3)

36 days

18)In an exam the maximum marks is 500. a got 20% more than b, b got 25% less than c, c got 20% more than d. if b marks are 360 then how much did d score? (no. r different prob type is the same.)

Here marks scored by B is given i.e 360 and we should have to take it as 100%(w.r.t B)and we should have to solve the problems

Now marks scored by A is 20%more than B then A=marks scored byB*1.2

A=360*1.2

=432

Marks scored by C is 25% more than B(since B score is 25%less than C means C is 25%more than B)

C=360*1.25

=450

For D we should have take ref of C, D=marks of C*0.8

=450*0.8

=360

Tech Mahendra Solved Paper

ARITHMETIC SECTION

This section consists of 29 problems. The questions are simple though time consuming.

1. If a boat is moving in upstream with velocity of 14 km/hr and goes downstream with a velocity of 40 km/hr, then what is the speed of the stream ?

(a) 13 km/hr
(b) 26 km/hr
(c) 34 km/hr
(d) none of these

Ans: A

Let speed of Boat be ‘x’, and speed of stream ‘y’.

When boat moves upstream overall speed is 14 .Equation is x-y=14.For downstream equation is

x+y=40. On solving these 2 equations,we get x as 27 and y as 13. Ans is 13

.

2. Find the value of ( 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 - 0.001 ) / ( 0.75 * 0.75 - 0.075 + 0.01)

(a) 0.845
(b) 1.908
(c) 2.312
(d) 0.001

Ans: A

I did not find any shortcut.Just calculate the values.

3. A can have a piece of work done in 8 days, B can work three times faster than the A, C can work five times faster than A. How many days will they take to do the work together ?

(a) 3 days
(b) 8/9 days
(c) 4 days
(d) can,t say

Ans: B

A’s one day’s work----> 1/8

B works 3 times faster .Therefore B’s one day’s work------- > 3/8

C works 5 times faster.Therefore C’s one day’s work------- >5/8

A+B+C=1/8 + 3/8 + 5/8=(1+3+5)/8=9/8

Therefore they will take 8/9 days.

4. A car travels a certain distance taking 7 hrs in forward journey, during the return journey increased speed 12km/hr takes the times 5 hrs.What is the distance travelled

(a) 210 kms
(b) 30 kms
(c) 20 kms
(c) none of these

Ans: B.

Let distance be x kms.During forward journey speed is x/7(bcoz time is 7 hrs)
during return journey speed is increased by 12 kms.Therefore speed in return becomes x/7+12

Equate the distances during return and forward journeys

X=(x/7+12)*5

On solving x=30.i.e.,distance travelled in return journey is 30 kms.
5. Instead of multiplying a number by 7, the number is divided by 7. What is the percentage of error obtained ?

Let the no. be x.if it is multiplied with 7 result is 7x. But it is divided by 7 and the result is x/7,

Percentage error is( 7x-x/7)/(x/7)*100

On solving it comes as 4800%.

Another approach: Ttake 7 as our no.if it is multiplied with 7 it becomes 49,

But it is divided by 7 and it becomes 1.

Percentage error is ((49-1)/1)*100=4800%.

6. Find (7x + 4y ) / (x-2y) if x/2y = 3/2 ?

(a) 6
(b) 8
(c) 7 Ans:25
(d) data insufficient

x/2y=3/2--------- >x=3y. Substitute in above eqn

7(3y) + 4y/(3y-2y)=25y/y=25


7. A man buys 12 lts of liquid which contains 20% of the liquid and the rest is water. He then mixes it with 10 lts of another mixture with 30% of liquid.What is the % of water in the new mixture?
Ans :

In 12 lts of liquid 20% is liquid and 80% is water.i.e., 9.6 lts is water

In 10 lts 70% is water i.e., 7 lts of water.

When they are mixed total volume becomes 12+10=22lts and water content becomes 9.6 + 7=16.6 lts.

Percent of water in mixture is 16.6/22 * 100=75.45%.
8. If a man buys 1 lt of milk for Rs.12 and mixes it with 20% water and sells it for Rs.15, then what is the percentage of gain?

Here the mixing of 20% water is just given to confuse us.

c.p=12 s.p=15 ------> gain%= (15-12)/12 * 100=25%

9. Pipe A can fill a tank in 30 mins and Pipe B can fill it in 28 mins.If 3/4th of the tank is filled by Pipe B alone and both are opened, how much time is required by both the pipes to fill the tank completely ?

work done by both pipes is 1/28 + 1/30=29/420

they take 420/29 mins to completely fill d tank.

Given that 3/4^th of tank is already filled.therefore 1/4^th is to be filled by both pipes.

420/29mins---- > 1(tank)-------eqn1

? mins------- > 1/4^th tank

Divide by 4 on both sides of eqn 1

420/(29*4) mins-----à ¼ tank

105/29 mins= 3.62 mins
