Answer: D) 321 Explanation: No. of people who read Hindu = 285No. of people who read TOI = 127No. of people who read IE = 212Now, No. of people who read Hindu and TOI both is = 20No. of people who read TOI and IE both is = 35No. of people who read Hindu and IE both is = 29Let No. of people who read Hindu , TOI and IE all is = x ;So, only Hindu is = 285-20-29-x = 236-x ;Only TOI is = 127-20-35-x = 72-x ;Only IE is = 212-35-29-x = 148-x ;Now, 236-x + 72-x + 148-x + 20 + 29 + 35 + x + 50 = 500 590 -2x = 500 So, x = 45 this is the value who read all the 3 dailies.So, No. of people who read only one paper is = 236-45 + 72-45 + 148-45 = 191 + 27 + 103 = 321.

Answer: A) 79 Explanation: Assuming Sripad has scored the least marks in subject other than science,Then the marks he could secure in other two are 58 each.Since the average mark of all the 3 subject is 65.i.e (58+58+x)/3 = 65116 + x = 195x = 79 marks. Therefore, the maximum marks he can score in maths is 79.

Answer: C) 90 min Explanation: Let X = Time taken for each of Type B Problems(100 Problems)And 2X = Time taken for each of Type A problems(50 problems) Total time period = 3hrs = 3 x 60min = 180 minutes 100X + 50(2X) = 180100X + 100X = 180200X = 180 min X = 180/200X = 0.90 min By convertiing into seconds, X = 0.90 x 60 secondsX = 54 sec So, time taken for Part A problems is = 54 x 2 x 50 = 5400 seconds= 5400/60sec = 90 minutes.

Answer: C) Either b alone or a & b follows Explanation: From statement (b)Average of 11 players = 11 x 28 = 308Average of 10 players = 10 x 27.3 = 273Age of captain = 308 - 273 = 35. From the Statement (a) we can say that captain's age (C) = y + 11 ...(1) where y-youngers ageFrom the statement (c),the averge age of 3groups of 3players each was given,It means total 9 players age was given indirectly,1st group: 25 x 3 = 752nd group: 28 x 3 = 843rd group: 30 x 3 = 90Total  is 75 + 84 + 90 = 249Now {C + Y + (9 players age sum)}/11 = 28Y + 11 + Y + (249) = 28 x 11=3082Y+260=3082Y = 308-260 = 40 ==> Y=24 ==> C(captain's age)= Y+11 = 24+11 = 35 Therefore, statement b alone or a & c only is the answer.

Answer: A) 25% Explanation: He has gain = 15 - 12 = 3,Gain% = (3/12) x 100 = (100/4) = 25.He has 25% gain.

Answer: D) 5 Explanation: By trial and error method, we get2880/3 = 960 is not a perfect square2880/4 = 720 is not a perfect square2880/5 = 576 which is perfect square of 24Hence, 5 is the least number by which 2880 must be divided in order to make it into a perfect square.

Answer: C) 5 Explanation: (3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax2+kx+n ...............(1)   But (3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 6x2-11x-10........(2)   so by comparing (1) & (2),   we get a= 6, k= -11 , n= -10   (a - n + k) = 6 + 10 - 11 = 5.

Answer: A) 25 m Explanation: A:B = 200 : 169A:C = 200 : 182 CB = CA×AB    182200×200169   => 182:169   When C covers 182 m , B Covers 169 mWhen C covers 350 m , B Covers 169182×350=> 325 m       So C beats B by (350 - 325) = 25 m.
