Answers: 
Answer.1.(d) 
It is given that milk of 
Ist quality = 403 gallons
IInd quality = 465 gallons
IIIrd quality = 496 gallons
Least number of bottles of equal size will be possible, when we have bottle having highest of largest size. Largest size having highest or largest size. Largest size bottle can be found by finding HCF of 403, 465 & 496.
403=13×31
465=15×31 
496=16×31
HCF = 31
Total numbers of gallon required =13+15+16 = 44 gallons.
Answer.2.(a) 
Let the number of candidates who passed=x. 
Then, 39×x+15×(120-x)=120×35
? 24x=4200-1800
Or, x=2400/24, ?x=100.
Answer.3.(a) 
Profit ratio of A, B and C is (1200×12):(x×9):(y×6)=2:3:5
Taking first and second terms we get
1200×12:9x=2:3
1200×12×3=9x×2
?x=(1200×12×3)/18=2400
Answer.4.(b) 
Let x kg ore is there
20% washed away so remaining is 80% i.e. 4/5 x
Out of 4/5 x, 25% is pure iron i.e. 1/5 x now 
Rs.1/5 xis obtained from x kg
Then 1 kg is obtained from 5 kg
Rs. 80000 kg is obtained from 5×80000=400000 kg
Answer.5.(b) 
Let C.P. be Rs. x
900-x=2(x-450) ?3x=1800?x=600
C.P.=Rs.600, gain required=25%
? S.P.=Rs. (125/100×600)=Rs. 750
Answer.6.(4) 
Rate=(12000×100)/(40000×3)=10%
Rs. Compound Interest=40000×(1+10/100)^3-40000 = 40000×(1331-1000)/1000=13240Rs.
Answer.7.(1); 
Let fraction be x/y
ATQ, 
(x+3x)/(y+y)=30/19
?76x=60y
?x/y=15/19
Answer.8.(1); 
42×18=21×x 
?No. of women x=(42×18)/21=36
Answer.9.(2); 
Let age of Sulekha and Arunima be 9x and 8x year. 
Now, ATQ
(9x+5)/(8x+5)=10/9
?x=5 
Hence, Difference=9x-8x=
x= 5 year
Answer.10.(3); 
Let total amount is Rs. ‘X’
?x-68357-25675=X × 28/100
?x=(94032×100)/72=130600 Rs.
