A+B = D + E+10 ...(iii)B = C + 2 ...(iv)

A+B + C + D + E= 133 ...(v)

From (i) and (ii), we have : 2 B = D + E ...(vi)

From (iii) and (vi), we have : A = B + 10 ...(vii)

Using (iv), (vi) and (vii) in (v), we get:(B + 10) + B + (B - 2) + 2B = 133 5B = 125 B = 25.

Q56

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Suppose the boy got x sums right and 2x sums

wrong.

Then, x + 2x = 48 3x = 48 x = 16.

123/133

Q57

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

Clearly, the required number would be such

that it leaves a remainder of1 when divided

by 2, 3 or 4 and no remainder when divided by

5. Such a number is 25.

The taxi charges in a city comprise of a fixedcharge, together with the charge of thedistance covered. For a journey of16 km, the

charges paid are Rs. 156 and for a journey of24 km, the charges paid are Rs. 204. What willa person have to pay for travelling a distanceof30 km?

A.Rs. 236 B.Rs. 240C.Rs. 248 D.Rs. 252

Q58


125/133

Q58

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Let the fixed charge be Rs. x and variable charge

be Rs.y per km. Then,x + 16y = 156 ...(i) and

x + 24y = 204 ...(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii), we get: x = 60, y = 6.

Therefore Cost of travelling 30 km = 60 + 30y =Rs. (60 + 30 x 6) = Rs. 240.

Nitin's age was equal to square of somenumber last year and the following year itwould be cube of a number. If again Nitin's

age has to be equal to the cube of somenumber, then for how long he will have towait?

A.10years B.38yearsC.39 years D.64years

Q59


127/133

Q59

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Clearly, we have to first find two numbers whosedifference is 2 and of which the smaller one is aperfect square and the bigger one a perfect cube.

Such numbers are 25 and 27.

Thus, Nitin is now 26years old. Since the nextperfect cube after 27 is 64,

so required time period = (64 - 26) years = 38years.

A printer numbers the pages of a book starting

with 1 and uses 3189 digits in all. How many

pages does the book have ?

A.1000 B.1074

C.1075 D.1080

Q60


129/133

Q60

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

No. of digits in 1-digit page nos. = 1x9 = 9.

No. of digits in 2-digit page nos. = 2 x 90 = 180.

No. of digits in 3-digit page nos. = 3 x 900 = 2700.

No. of digits in 4-digit page nos. = 3189 - (9 + 180 +2700) = 3189 - 2889 = 300.

Therefore No. of pages with 4-digit page nos. = (300/4)= 75.

Hence, total number of pages = (999 + 75) = 1074.
