Solutions:
Answer.1.(b)
Since, the speed of car is increasing constant i.e. in Arithmetic Progression,
where, first term = speed of car initially = 45 Km/hr
difference = constant increment = 3 km/hr
Number of terms = number of hours = 12 hours 
hence, total distance = Sum = n/2 [2a+(n-1)d]
total distance = (12/2)[2×45 + (12-1)*3]
=6× (90+ 33)= 6×[123]= 738 km
Answer.2.(a)
Reqd. Ratio of Profit
Gaurav : Karanveer : Rajveer
30000×36 : 45000×30 : 67500×24
= 108 : 135 : 162
= 12 : 15 : 18 = 4 : 5 : 6
Answer.3.(b)
Let the unit digit is ‘y’ and ten’s digit is x.
Hence, ATQ-
10*x + y – (10*y+ x) = 54
or, x – y = 6 …(1)
and, x + y = 12 …(2)
from both eqn, we get
x = 9, y = 3
hence, Number = 10*9 + 3 = 93
Answer.4.(c)
Ruchika’s marks= 115
Meena’s marks= 115 – 20 = 95
vidushi’s marks= 95 + 65= 160
Arohi’s marks=160 – 35= 125
Richa’s marks= 125+ 67= 192
Total maximum marks= 192 + 108= 300
Required percentage marks of Richa = (192/300)×100 = 64%
Answer.5.(c) 
(Abhinav + Bindra)’s 1 day’s work = (1/45)+(1/40)= 17/360
Work done by Bindra in 23 days= Remaining work = 23*(1/40) = 23/40
Now, work (17/40)part was done by both in =[(17/40)/(17/360)]= 9 days
hence, Abhinav left after 9 days.
Answer.6.(b);
payable amount by first way of discount= (85% of 75% of 75% of Rs. 30000)= Rs. 14343.75
payable amount by second way of discount= (90% of 90% of 55% of Rs. 30000)= Rs. 13365
Therefore, Saving=Rs. (14343.75- 13365)= Rs. 978.75.
Answer.7.(c); 
Net price after two discounts= 80% of 90% of Rs. 20000= Rs. 14400.
Net Cost Price= (14400+ 10% of Rs.14400)= 14400+ 1440= 15840.
Therefore, Selling price= 110% of Rs. 15840= Rs. 17424.
Answer.8.(c)
Let the money lent to Shashank be Rs. x
Then, money lent to Abhishek = Rs. (40000–x)
SI for shashank = [(x * 20 * 3)/100] = 3x/5
SI for Abhishek = [{(40000 – x)*24*3}/100]= [(40000-x)*18]/25
According to the question,
3x/25 – (40000-x)*(18/25) = 1728
x = 36342.85 = 36343 approx.
Amount lent to abhishek= Rs.(40000–36343)= Rs.3657
Answer.9.(a);
Speed of the person = 9 km/hr
= 9*(5/18)= 5/2 m/s
Let the speed of train be x m/s
30 = 420/(x – 5/2)
x – 5/2 = 14
x = 33/2 m/s
Now the distance covered by train in 60 minutes.
= (33/2) * 60 * 60 = 59400
Time taken by person to cover the distance = 59400/(5/2) = 23760 sec
or, time taken = 23760/(60 * 60) = 6 hours 36 minutes
Answer.10.(e)
