Answer: A) 5:1 Explanation: Let the speed of the man in still water = p kmph Speed of the current = s kmph Now, according to the questions (p + s) x 10 = (p - s) x 15 2p + 2s = 3p - 3s => p : s = 5 : 1   Hence, ratio of his speed to that of current = 5:1.

Answer: D) 144 Explanation: Given ratio of pens and pencils = 3 :2 Number of Pens = 3x Number of Pencils = 2x Average number of pencils & Pens = 3x + 2x2 = 180 5x = 360 => x = 72 Hence, the number of pencils = 2x = 72 x 2 = 144.

Answer: B) 70% is better Explanation: Let Price be Rs.100 1st CASE: Then 100 x 70/100 = 70=> price after discount = 100-70 = Rs.30 2nd CASE: Then 100 x 40/100 = 40=> price after discount = 100-40 = Rs.60then60 x 30/100 = 18=> price after 2 consequent discount = 60-18 = Rs.42 =>from 1 and 2 cases, 70% discount is better.

Answer: D) 120 sq.cm Explanation: The triangle with sides 26 cm, 24 cm and 10 cm is right angled, where the hypotenuse is 26 cm. Area of the triangle =1/2 x base x height => 1/2 x 24 x 10 = 120 sq.cm

Answer: A) 60 kmph Explanation: Speed of lorry = 36012 = 30 kmph Speed of van =250100 x 30 = 75 kmph Speed of bike = 35 x 75 = 45 kmph Therefore, now required average speed of bike and van  = 75 + 452= 60 kmph.

Answer: A) 2 lit Explanation: Quantity of fruit juice in the mixture = 70 - [70 x (10/100) ]= 63 litres.   After adding water, juice would form 87.5% of the mixture.   Hence, if quantity of mixture after adding x liters of water, [(87.5) /100 ]*x = 63 => x = 72    Hence 72 - 70 = 2 litres of water must be added.
