Solution.

Q(1 to 5)  :

Common Explanation: As per the given information, we can create a table

Studios Reporters Comp. Operators
Total M F Total M F
P 4000 + 1650 = 5650 40% of 5130 = 3598 5650 – 3598 = 2052 825 825 – 456 = 369 48% of 950 = 456
Q 1110 × 4.6 + 24 = 5130 2280 + 2250 = 4530 5130 – 4530 = 600 950 + 160 = 1110 16% of 4000 = 640 1110 – 640 = 470
R 950 × 3.8 – 60 = 3550 456 × 5 = 2280 3550 – 2280 = 1270 1200 1200 – 580 = 620 640 – 60 = 580
S 3550 + 450 = 4000 2 × 1270 = 2540 4000 – 2540 = 1460 825 + 125 = 950 470 × 1.5 = 705 950 – 705 = 245

Q1. Ans(B)

Explanation: 

Following the common explanation, we get

Total number of female reporters in studio P = 2052

Similarly, in Q = 600

And, Total number of female reporters in R = 1270

Similarly, in S = 1460

Required ratio =  2052 + 600  =  2652  = 34 : 35
1270 + 1460 2730

Q2. Ans(A)

Explanation: 

Following the common explanation, we get

Total no. of female computer operators in Q, R and S = 470 + 580 + 245 = 1295

Total no. of male reporters in Q, R and S = 4530 + 2280 + 2540 = 9350

  Required average =  1295 + 9350  =  10645  = 3548.33 ≈ 3548
         3       3

 Q3. Ans(E)

Explanation: 

The total number of female operators in studio P = 456

Similarly, In R = 580 and In S = 245

And, The total number males reporters in P = 3598 and in S = 2540

  Required % =  456 + 580 + 245  × 100
3598 + 2540

=   1281  × 100 = 20.86 ≈ 21%
6138

 Q4. Ans(A)

Explanation: 

Total no. of male reporters in studio P = 3598 

Similarly, in studio Q = 4530 and in studio R = 2280

Therefore, total no. of reporters in studios P, Q and R together = 3598 + 4530 + 2280 = 10408 

And the total no. of male computer operators in studio P = 369

Similarly, in studio Q = 640, In studio R = 620 and in studio S = 705 

Therefore, total no. male computer operators in studios P, Q, R and S together = 369 + 640 + 620 + 705 = 2334 

 Required difference = 10408 – 2334 = 8074

 Q5. Ans(B)

Explanation: 

Following the common explanation, we get

That in the studio Q male reporters are maximum which is 4530 

And, in the studio S has the least female computer operators which is 245.

Q6. Ans(B)

Explanation: 

Given that cost price of Kohali = 1000x

Selling price of Kohali = 1000x + (1000x × x%)

= 1000x +  1000x × x  = 1000x + 10 x2
100

Cost price of Modi = 1000x + 10 x2

Selling price of Modi = 70% of (1000x + 10 x2)
 

70  × (1000x + 10x2) = 700x + 7x2
100

Kohali was left with (1000x + 10 x2) – (700x + 7x2) = (300x + 3x2) after paying to Modi, that is the profit of Kohali.

According to question,

(300x + 3x2) = 33% of (1000x)
 

⇒ (300x + 3x2) =  33  × 1000x
100

⇒ (300x + 3x2) = 330x

⇒ 3x2 = (330x – 300x) = 30x

⇒ X = 10

Thus, cost price of car for Kohali = 1000x = (1000 × 10) = Rs. 10000

 Q7. Ans(E)

Explanation: 

Let the total work be 60 unit (LCM of 10, 20 and 30)

Work done by Binod in one day =  60  = 3 units
20

Work done by Chandan in one day =  60  = 2 units
30

Let work done by Akash in one day = a

From question

(a + 2 + 3) × 10 = 60

⇒ a = 1 unit

When Akash and Binod started the work and every alternate day Akash was replaced by Chandan

Work done on 1st day = 1 + 3 = 4

Work done on 2nd day = 2 + 3 = 5

Work done in 2 days = 9 units

Work done in 12 days = 54 units

On 13th day Akash and Binod will work i.e. on 13th day 4 units of work was done

On 14th day Chandan and Binod will work i.e. on 14th day 2 units of work was done

When Chandan & Binod together work for whole day, 5 units of work is done out of which 2 units is done by Chandan

So, When Chandan & Binod together work and 2 units of work is done, work done by Chandan
 

2  × 2 = 0.8 units
5

Total work done by Chandan during the work = 2 × 6 + 0.8 = 12.8 units
 

Therefore, Chandan’s share =  12.8 × 12000  = Rs. 2560
          60

Q8. Ans(C)

Explanation: 
Let the track length be 4d
Time take by Doraemon to finish the race

d  +  d  +  d  +…
160 × 0.5 160 × 0.5 × 1.25 160 × 0.5 × 1.25 × 1.25

…+  d
160 × 0.5 × 1.25 × 1.25 × 1.25

  d  +  d  +  d  +  d
80 100 125 156.25

Time take by Nobita Nobi to finish the race

2d  +  2d  =  d  +  d
200 × 0.8 200 × 0.8 × 1.25 80 100

From question,
 

( d  +  d  +  d  +  d )  –  ( d  +  d )  =  25.92
80 100 125 156.25 80 100 60

⇒  d  +  d  =  25.92
125 156.25 60

⇒  1.25d  +  d  =  25.92
156.25 156.25 60

⇒  2.25  d =  25.92
156.25 60

⇒ d =  25.92 × 156.25  = 30
60 × 2.25

Therefore, track length = 4d = 4 × 30 = 120 Km

 Q9. Ans(D)

Explanation: 
Let amount paid = Rs. x
 Fixed charge = Rs. y
 Number of chapati eaten = n
 If anyone eat less than 60 chapati per month, then
 Amount paid (x) = fixed charge (y) + k1 × (number of chapati eaten)
Where Let the number of boys and girls in the school be denoted by “b” and “g” respectively.

k1 being the constant of proportionality
 i.e, x = y + k1 × n
 according to the question,
 400 = y + 50 × k1……… (i)
 360 = y + 30 × k1……….(ii)
 If anyone eats more than 60 chapati per month, then
 X = y + k1 × n + k2 ×  √n, where k2 being the constant of proportionality
 Now, 498 = y + 81k1 + k2 ×  √81
 ⇒ 498 = y + 81k1 + 9k2 …….. (iii)
 After solving (i) and (ii), we get
 20 k1 = 40 ⇒ k1 = 2 and y = (400 – 50 × 2) = 300
 Substituting the value of y and k1 in (iii), we get
 498 = 300 + (81 × 2) + 9k2 ⇒ k2 = ((498 – 462)/9) = 4
 Thus, amount of bill for 100 chapati is
 X = y + k1 × n + k2 ×  √n = 300 + (100 × 2) + (4 × √100) = 300 + 200 + (4 × 10) = Rs. 540
