23. C
Exp.: 20% of the men are above the age of 50 years. 20% of these men play
football. Therefore, 20% of 20% of 4% of the total men are football players above
the age of 50 years. 20% of the men are football players. Therefore, 16% of the men
are football players below the age of 50 years. Therefore, the % of men who are
football players and below the age of 50 = (16/20*100 = 80%).
24.B
In one day X can finish 1/15th of the work. In one day Y can finish 1/10th of the
work.
Let us say that in one day Z can finish 1/Zth of the work. When all the three work
together in
one day they can finish 1/15 + 1/10 + 1/Z = 1/5th of the work. Therefore, 1/Z =
1/30. Ratio of their efficiencies = 1/15: 1/10: 1/30 = 2: 3: 1.Therefore Z receives
1/6th of the total money. According to their efficiencies money is divided as 240:
360: 120. Hence, the share of Z = Rs. 120.
25.D
Let P(A) = Probability of A solving the problem =3/5 and P(B) = Probability of B
solving the problem =2/5 . We have to find P(AB). P(AB) = P(A) + P(B) - P(AB)
=3/5 + 2/5 3/5 2/5 = 1-6/25 = 19/25.
26. C
Let the number of tickets sold at Rs. 10 be x and number of tickets sold at Rs. 12 be
(100 x).
10x + 12 (100 x) = 1056 10x 12x = 1056 1200 2x = 144 2x = 144
x = 72.
Number of tickets sold at Rs. 12 = 100 72 = 28.
27. D
1/9th of total students = 80 total students = 720. Boys = 400, girls = 320.
Boys absent = 4/5 400 = 320; Girls absent = 7/8 320 = 280 Difference =
320 280 = 40.
28. B

If the number of employees is 100, then men = 60, women = 40. Engineers = 48.
Engineers who are men = 2/3 48 = 32. Hence women engineers = 48 32 = 16.
Hence net percentage of women who are engineers = 16/ 40 100 = 40%.
29. D
Percentage change in the area = 20 + 20 + {(20)(20)/ 100} = 4%. So, the area
decreases by 4%.
30. C
Sanjeev beats Motiani by 10 seconds Motiani covers a distance of 1000 m in 200
seconds. He covers a distance of 5m in 1 second .
The distance Motiani could have covered in 10 seconds = 50 m Sanjeev can
beat Motiani by 50 m.
31. C
Let M, W and C be the weekly wages for a man, a woman and a child respectively.
20M + 30W + 36C = 780 -- (1)
Since their wages are proportional to the work done by them per week, M : W : C
=3:2:1
i.e. M = 3C and W = 2C
Using this in (1)
156C = 780 or C = 5, W = 10, M = 15
In 4 weeks (one month)
15 men will earn: 4 x 15 x 15 = 900
21 women will earn: 4 x 21 x 10 = 840
30 children will earn: 4 x 30 x 5 = 600
Total wages = 900 + 840 + 600 = Rs.
2340
32. C. Assume the total number of people to be LCM (9, 4) = 36. The rest follows
immediately

The correct approach to solve these questions is to make a diagram of the seating
arrangement. Draw a table and place the different individuals on it, according to the
logic provided.
The correct seating arrangement can be depicted as shown below:

41. C
As we can see from the above diagram and the information given to us, Jackie is the
host and also sitting on Shobha's right. Hence (c) is the correct answer.
42. D
Refer to the above diagram and the information given to us. We can see Shobha is
siting next to Jakie and Dhirubhai. Therefore, according to the information given,
she is the only person who is not seated next to a person of the same sex.
43. A
Exp.: In the given question, we are provided with extra information. Let us build
another figure, according to the information provided:

According to the above, statement I is correct as no man is sitting between the two
women. Also, no woman is sitting between the two men. We can see that
statements 2 and 3 are false. Hence, the correct answer: option a.
44. A
From the figure given above, we can say that only Ratan & Monisha are sitting
opposite to each other. Since we are provided with the additional information (if
each person is placed directly opposite her spouse), we can see they are the
married couple.
(45-48).
45. B
According to the given information, Ms. Maharashtra was wearing white. As Ms West
Bengal was not the runner-up, she was not wearing green and neither was Ms
Andhra Pradesh. Hence, we can deduce from this that Ms Uttar Pradesh was
wearing green saree. This means that the red saree could have either be worn by
Ms West Bengal or by Ms Andhra Pradesh.
According to the given information, the participants wearing yellow saree and white
saree were at the ends, but Ms West Bengal did not occupy any of these positions.
From the above conditions, it can be concluded that Ms Andhra Pradesh sat at one
of the ends and wore the yellow saree, while Ms West Bengal wore the red saree.
46.C
From the analysis we have carried out above and the conclusion we arrived upon,
we can conclude that Ms Maharashtra and Ms Andhra Pradesh occupied the seats at
the end. This
means that Ms West Bengal and Ms Uttar Pradesh occupied the middle two seats.
Therefore, the possible answers could be option (b) or (c). We can further deduce
that since Ms Andhra Pradesh wore the yellow saree, she was the winner and since
Ms Uttar Pradesh wore the green saree, she was the runner-up. This means that
these two cannot sit together. Option (b) contradicts this condition. Hence, option(c)
is the correct answer.
47. A
Refer to the analysis for question 1. We can see that Ms Andhra Pradesh had worn
the yellow saree.
48.C
Refer to the analysis for question 1. We can see that Ms Uttar Pradesh was the
runner-up.

The two graphs do not have the same base. The pie chart is not for the whole town.
70.C
Sector 1, sector 2 and sector 4 permit this.
71.D
The pie chart gives distribution only for the whole population, not for the female
population alone.
72. B
As it is clear one of the sector will have to be sector3, and the other one should be
chosen appropriately. The gender imbalance is least in sector2, yet sector1 gives
the best answer, as the total population there is very less. Hence, as opposed to the
expectation of sector2+sector3, the desired number comes from sector1+sector3.
And the value is ={(5+28)/(15+5+12+28)}*100=55%
73.A
A total of 1600 [=(8000+8000)*20/100] people are below 15 years of age in sector

3 and sector 4 combined. In order to minimize the mentioned number, all of these
can be put in sector 4.
74.B
A total of 5600 [=(8000+8000)*70/100] people are below 34 years of age in sector
3 and sector 4 put together. In order to minimize the mentioned number, let us put
as many as possible (4000) in sector 4. Out of remaining 1600, we can put 1200 in
males of sector 3. Rest 400 will have to be
females of sector 3.
