3. The ratio of the rate of flow of water
in pipes varies inversly as the
square of the radius of the pipes.
What is the ratio of the rates of flow
in 2 pipes of diameter 2 cm
and 4 cm
• Solution : ratio (1/2)^2 : (1/4)^2 = ¼: 1/16
• Thus their ratio is 4:1 answer.
4. Salaries of A, B and C were in the
ratio 3 : 5: 7,
respectively. If their salaries were
increased by 50%, 60%
and 40% respectively, what will be
the new ratio of their respective
salaries?
• Let us assume that their salaries are :
300,500, 700. New salaries are :
450,800,980. Their new ratio is 45:80:98
5. Solve it …
• When a bus started from the first stop, the
number of male passengers to the number
of female passengers was 3 : 1. At the first
stop 16 passengers got down and 6 more
female passengers got in. The ratio of the
male to female passengers now became
2: 1. What was the total number of
passengers in the bus when it started from
the first stop?
6. Solution
• Let us assume the number of females in
the beginning to be X.
• So : (3X -16)/ (X +6) = 2/1
• 3X -16 = 2X +12
• X = 28
• Thus total passengers was : 28*4 = 112
answer.
7. Solve it
• Given that 24 carat gold is pure gold, 18
carat gold is ¾ gold and 20 carat gold is
5/6 gold, the ratio of the pure gold in 18
carat gold to the pure gold in 20 carat gold
is
• Soluton…
• ¾ : 5/6 = 18: 20 or 9:10 answer.
8. A started a business with $ 4500
and another person B joined after
some period with $ 3000. Detemine
this period before B joined the
business if the profit at the end of
the year is divided in the ratio 2 : 1
• Capital * period for A = 4500 * 12 = 54000
• For B it is half of it 27000, dividing it by
3000 gives 9 months. Thus B joined after
3 months. (answer).
9. A began a business with $ 4,500
and was joined.afterwards by B
with $ 5,400. If the profits at the
end of the year were divided in the
ratio 2 : 1, B joined the business
after … months??
• Like the last question: 4500*12 = 54000
• B has ½ of it: 27000
• 27000/5400 = 5 months. Thus B joined
after 7 months. Answer.
10. The monthly incomes of two
persons are in the ratio of 4:
5 and their monthly expenditures
are in the ratio of 7: 8. If
each saves Rs. 50 a month then
what are their monthly
incomes?
• 4X – 7Y = 50 or 20 X – 35Y = 250
• 5X –8 Y = 50or 20 X -32 Y = 200
• Y = 50/3 = 16.6. Thus expenses of first person is 116 and
income is 166. Similarly income of 2nd person can be
identified.
11. A salesman averages Rs. 240
during a normal 40 hour
week. During a sale, his rates are
increased by 50%. What
Is his commission if he puts in 60
hours during the sale?
• Commission during 40 hours 240, so it should be 60/40
*240 = 360 during 60 hours.
• It is further increased by 50%, so it should be 540 instead
of 360. (360 *1.5) Answer.
12. A machine is sold at a profit of
10%. Had it been sold for
Rs. 40 less, there would have been
a loss of 10%. What was
the cost price?
• Let us assume that the cost of machine is
100, it is sold at 110. when it is sold in loss, it
will sale at 90. The difference is Rs. 20 i.e.
(110-90)
• If the difference is 20, cost is 100, if the
difference is 40, cost should be 200. Answer.
13. If 50% of the 2 : 3 solution of milk
and water is replaced
with water, then the concentration
of the solution is
reduced by:
• Let us assume that total mixture is 10 liters. Now we
reduce it to 5 liters and add 5 lt. water. Total water
now becomes (3+5) = 8 liters and concentration is
reduced from 40% (4 liters out of 10 liters) to 20%
(2liters out of 10 liters). Thus there is reduction of
50%. Answer.
14. Normally, numbers are written with
a base of 10. Binary number have a
base of 2. In which base can 19257
be written
as 110100?
(1) 3 (2) 5
(3) 7 (4) 8
16. Let A=0.a1a2… and R = 0.r1r2..
Where a1,a2,r1,r2 etc are integers
between I to 9
in random order, Then which of
the following is an
integer?
• (1) 1089 x (A + R) (2) 10989 x (A ÷ R)
• (3) 100989 x (A + R) (4) None of these
17. Solution …
• A1,a2,a3 and r1,r2,r3 etc. are integers
which are in continuous order. Thus these
numbers are such that we can express
them as divided by 999…..
• Thus we have a number like:
• (a) 1089 * (1/99… + 1/99…)
• In this option, we find that 1089 is
dividisble by both 11 and 9 (11*9=99),
therefore this is the answer.
18. I a farmer is having 5 acres of land and only
50 kg of fertilizers, how much should he use
per hectare to get best yield ?
19. Solution
• He should use 16 kg per acre in 2 acres.
Remaining 18 kg should be used in in
remaining 3 acres. The total yield will be :
• 18+18+5+5+5 = 51 answer.
20. A number when divided by 5
leaves the remainder 3 what
is the remainder when the square
of this number is divided
by 5?
• Let us do the square of the remainder also
= we get 3*3 = 9. When we divide 9 by 5,
we get 4 as remainder, thus 4 is the
answer.
21. The difference between a three-
digit (with 3 distinct digits) number
and a number obtained by
reversing this number will always
have its middle digit as?
• The middle digit is always nine.
22. A ground is in the shape of an
isosceles right
triangle, if length of the longest side
of the ground is
sqrt (2), what is perimeter of the
ground?
• We know that sin 45 is equal to : 1/
(sqrt(2)). Thus the other two sides are
each. The perimeter is 1+1+1.4 = 3.4
approx. answer.
23. Solution ….
• As we can see that the triangle is an
isoscales triangle.
24. SOLVE IT

ratio of A to B?
• 3A + 2B = 12 5A – 3B = 15
• Multiply the first equation with 5 and 2nd
equation with 3, we get :
• 15A + 10 B = 60 and
• 15A -9 B = 45
• 19 B = 15. thus B = 15/19
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL

equation….
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL
FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
33. Solution
We know that (A –B)^2 = A^2 – 2AB+ B^2
•
• A = 16/7
• B= 9/7, solutoin is 1. (16 -7 = 7,so 7/7)
• Thus the above equation is just expansion
of this equation. Thus the value of * is
2AB, out of which we already have B. thus
the remaining number is 2A = 32/7, we
already have 7, thus answer is 32.

& B work together and on the third
day C joins them. What is the total
number of days worked, needed to
complete the work?
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL
FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
36. Solution
• For the first 2 days – A and B are working
together… (2*1/8) + (2* 1/9) = 34/72
• Now A,B,C will work together:
• 1/8 +1/9 + 1/6 = 29/72
• They will complete the work in 72/29
• Now multiply this by (1- 34/72) * 72/29
• (because 34/72 work is already complete, the
remaining work is 38/72)
• =38/72 *72/29 = 38/29.
• Thus total time required is 2 +38/29 answer.

71. A is twice as good a workman as B;
and together they finish
a work in 14 days. In how many
days can it be done by each
separately?
• Let us assume that A takes X and B takes 2X days.
1/2x + 1/x = 1/14
• Let us assume 1/x = Y
• Y/2 + Y = 1/14
• 3/2Y = 1/14 or Y = 2/42 or 1/21
• Thus A can do it in 21 days and B in 42 days. Answer.

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
75. Solution
• (calculate for 1 day and add them to get the
ans.)
• G+K +K +J= 1 / (4.8) + 1/8
• GKKJ = 12.8 / 38.4
• GKJ = ¼
• K = 12.8 / 38.4 - ¼
• = (12.8 – 9.6) / 38.4

• Let the number of men = X
• Total work = 100X

together but C left 2
days before the completion of work.
In how many days would
the work have been completed?
www.afterschoool.tk AFTERSCHO☺OL's MATERIAL
FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
81. Solution
For 2 days only A and B worked
•
• 2/20 + 2/20 = 4/20 or 1/5
• Together (all three) :
• 1/20+1/20+1/40 = (2+2+1) / 40 = 1/8
Thus they take 8 days to complete the
•
work, but they completed only 4/5 work
together, so 8*4/5 = 6.4 days were taken
by them. Thus total days : 8.4 days.

m, then he turns right and goes 20m then
turns right again and comes back to the
road and starts walking. If we walk with
the same speed, what is the distance
between us at this point of time

FOR PGPSE PARTICIPANTS
143. Solution
• (Goti walks 70 meters in all), so I walk 70
meters towards Goti’s starting point and
now I am 30 meters from that. Goti takes
only 30+20 meters on the road. Thus Goti
is 50 meters from my starting point. Thus
there is a gap of 20 meters between me
and Goti. Answer.

in arithmetic
progèssion is 150. if the first term is
A, what is 30th term of the series?
• Sum = 30/2 (2a + (29)D) = 150
• 2a + 29d =150*2/30 = or 29 D = 10 – 2A
• 30th term = A + 29D
• 29 D = 10 – 2A, putting the value, we get the answer =
10 – A answer
