The average monthly income of P and Q is Rs. 5050. The average monthly income of Q and R is Rs. 6250 and the average monthly income of P and R is Rs. 5200. The monthly income of P is:

A.
 3500
B.
 4000
C.
 4050
D.
 5000

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let P, Q and R represent their respective monthly incomes. Then, we have:

P + Q = (5050 x 2) = 10100 .... (i)

Q + R = (6250 x 2) = 12500 .... (ii)

P + R = (5200 x 2) = 10400 .... (iii)

Adding (i), (ii) and (iii), we get:  2(P + Q + R) = 33000  or   P + Q + R = 16500 .... (iv)

Subtracting (ii) from (iv), we get P = 4000.

P's monthly income = Rs. 4000.

Required average
 = 510 x 5 + 240 x 25 30
 = 8550 30
= 285

The sum of two number is 25 and their difference is 13. Find their product.

A.
 104
B.
 114
C.
 315
D.
 325

Correct Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the numbers be x and y.

Then, x + y = 25 and x - y = 13.

4xy = (x + y)2 - (x- y)2

= (25)2 - (13)2

= (625 - 169)

= 456

xy = 114.

Direction (for Q.No. 4):

Each of the questions given below consists of a statement and / or a question and two statements numbered I and II given below it. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statement(s) is / are sufficient to answer the given question. Read the both statements and

• Give answer (A) if 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.
• Give answer (B) if 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.
• Give answer (C) if the data either in Statement I or in Statement II alone are sufficient to answer the question.
• Give answer (D) if the data even in both Statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question.
• Give answer(E) if the data in both Statements I and II together are necessary to answer the question.
4.

 What is the number? I. The sum of the two digits is 8. The ratio of the two digits is 1 : 3. II. The product of the two digit of a number is 12. The quotient of two digits is 3.

A.
 I alone sufficient while II alone not sufficient to answer
B.
 II alone sufficient while I alone not sufficient to answer
C.
 Either I or II alone sufficient to answer
D.
 Both I and II are not sufficient to answer
E.
 Both I and II are necessary to answer

Correct Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let the tens and units digit be x and y respectively. Then,

 I. x + y = 8 and x = 1 y 3

I gives, 4y = 24       y = 6.

So, x + 6 = 8       x = 2.

 II. xy = 12 and x = 3 y 1

II gives, x2 = 36       x = 6.

So, 3y = 6       y = 2.

Therefore, Either I or II alone sufficient to answer.

A is two years older than B who is twice as old as C. If the total of the ages of A, B and C be 27, then how old is B?

A.
 7
B.
 8
C.
 9
D.
 10
E.
 11

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

Let C's age be x years. Then, B's age = 2x years. A's age = (2x + 2) years.

(2x + 2) + 2x + x = 27

5x = 25

x = 5.

Hence, B's age = 2x = 10 years.

The difference between the length and breadth of a rectangle is 23 m. If its perimeter is 206 m, then its area is:

A.
 1520 m2
B.
 2420 m2
C.
 2480 m2
D.
 2520 m2

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

We have: (l - b) = 23 and 2(l + b) = 206 or (l + b) = 103.

Solving the two equations, we get: l = 63 and b = 40.

Area = (l x b) = (63 x 40) m2 = 2520 m2.

What was the day of the week on 28th May, 2006?

A.
 Thursday
B.
 Friday
C.
 Saturday
D.
 Sunday

Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation:

28 May, 2006 = (2005 years + Period from 1.1.2006 to 28.5.2006)

Odd days in 1600 years = 0

Odd days in 400 years = 0

5 years = (4 ordinary years + 1 leap year) = (4 x 1 + 1 x 2) 6 odd days

```Jan.  Feb.   March    April    May
(31 +  28  +  31   +   30   +   28 ) = 148 days
```

148 days = (21 weeks + 1 day) 1 odd day.

Total number of odd days = (0 + 0 + 6 + 1) = 7 0 odd day.

Given day is Sunday.
