  • Question 110 :

    I. The sum of both the numbers is 128.

    II. The H.C.F and L.C.M of the two numbers are 8 and 504 respectively.

  • AIf the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement II alone are not sufficient to answer the question
  • BIf the data in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question while the data in statement I alone are not sufficient to answer the question.
  • CIf the data in both the statements I and II together are sufficient to answer the question.
  • DIf the data either in statements I or in statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
  • EIf the data in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question
  • Explanation:

    From Statement II

    Let the numbers be 8x and 8y

    We know that H.C.F. × L.C.M = Product of two numbers

    8 × 504 = 8x ×8y

    8×8×63 = 8x ×8y

    64 × 63 = 8x ×8y

    Comparing the values, we get the numbers 63 and 64.

  • B11:12
  • C9:10
  • D7:9
  • E4:5
  • Explanation:

    Population of state V = 75 ×100/80

    =375/4 lakh

    Population of state S = 75 × 100/120

    Population of State Q = 375/4 × 60/100

    =225/4 Lakh

    Population of state P = 75 × 80/100 = 60 lakh

    Population of State T = 60×100/150 = 40 lakh

     

     

    Total Population = 225/4 + 125/2

    = 118.75 lakhs

     

  • Question 135 :
  • What is the difference between the population of states V and P ?(in lakhs)

  • A38.5
  • B33.75
  • C35.75
  • D35.5
  • E32.75
  • Explanation:

    Population of State U = 75 lakh

    Population of state V = 75 ×100/80

    =375/4 lakh

    Population of state S = 75 × 100/120

    = 125/2 lakh

    Population of State R = 125/2 ×100/125 = 50lakh

    Population of State Q = 375/4 × 60/100

    =225/4 Lakh

    Population of state P = 75 × 80/100 = 60 lakh

    Population of State T = 60×100/150 = 40 lakh

     

     

    Required difference = 375/4-60

                                  =33.75 lakhs

     

  • Question 144 :
  • Population of state S is more than the population of state R by what percent?

  • A20%
  • B25%
  • C30%
  • D28%
  • E22%
  • Explanation:

     

    Population of State U = 75 lakh

    Population of state V = 75 ×100/80

    =375/4 lakh

    Population of state S = 75 × 100/120

    = 125/2 lakh

    Population of State R = 125/2 ×100/125 = 50lakh

    Population of State Q = 375/4 × 60/100

    =225/4 Lakh

    Population of state P = 75 × 80/100 = 60 lakh

    Population of State T = 60×100/150 = 40 lakh

     

    Required Percentage = (125/2-50/50 ×100)%

    =25%

  • Question 145 :
  • Total number of D and A type of garments in store I is approximately double the number of which type of garments in store II?

  • AF
  • BA
  • CC
  • DE
  • EB
  • Explanation:

    In Store I, number of A type of garments = 19/100×12600

    In Store II, number of D type garments = 16/100 ×12600 = 2016

    ∴ Total number of A and Dtype of garments in store I  = 2394+2016

                                                                                       = 4410

    In store II, number of A type of garments   = 15/100 × 14500

                                                                       = 2175
