Answers:

Q1 – (2) 
From statement I, If the. annual income of boss be Rs. x, then Mr. Krishnamurthy’s annual income = 170% of x
But we do not know the value of. x. Hence this statement is not sufficient from
From statement II,
Initial income = Rs. 12000
% Increase = 10% per month
Time = 12 months
Income in May = Rs. 12000 + 10% of 12000 = Rs. (12000 + 1200) = Rs. 13200
Similarly, the income for other months can be calculated.

Q2 – (3) 
From statement I, If the radius of the circular field be r metres, then 2*22/7*r = x
This relation gives us the value of radius.
Area = 22/7 × (Radius)²
Hence, statement I alone is sufficient to
answer the question
From statement II,
Diameter = y
Area = (Diameter/2)²
Hence, statement II alone is also sufficient to answer the question.

Q3 – (5) 
Let the speed of boat in still water be x kmph and that of current be y kmph
Rate upstream = (x – y) kmph
Rate downstream = (x + y) kmph
From statement I,
x + y = 35/5
=> x + y = 7 kmph ….(i)
From statement II,
x – y = 35/7
=> x – y = 5 kmph …(ii)
From combined statements I and II, we can get the required answer.

Q4 – (5) 
From statement I,
Let the number of boys and girls be 5x and
6x respectively.
From statement II,
6x – 5x = 7 => x = 7
5x = 35 and 6x = 42
Clearly, both statement are required to answer the question.

Q5 – (1) 
From statement I,
SP = Rs. 1740
% Profit = 20
CP = 100 x 1740/120 = Rs 1450
Profit = Rs. (1740 – 1450) = Rs. 290
Information in statement II is not required.
Hence, statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Q6 – (3)
Q7 – (2)
(2198 – 1347 – 403)/(159 – 113 -27) = 23.58≈ 24
Q8 – (1)
(330 x 825/100) ÷ 507 = 2722.50 / 507 = 5.369 ≈ 5
Q9 – (4) 
√888888 x 1.486 ≈ 943 x 1.5 = 1414.5 
So, Nearest = 1400
Q10 – (5)
564.666 + 82.5091 x 44.581 – 34.111 ≈ 565 + 82.5 x 45 – 34 = 565 + 3712.5 – 34 = 4243.5 
Approx = 4210
