ANSWERS
61. (5)
Let the numerator and denominator be 2x and 5x. Now
(2x + 4)/10 = 1/3
X = 3.
Required sum = 2x + 5x = 7x = 21
2. (1)
Required percentage = (750000 - 700000)/700000 * 100 = 7.14%
3. (3)
Number of books to be removed = 19 5 +1 = 96
4. (2)
Number of arrangements = 3! * 6! = 4320
5. (3)
Total score of students = 3 * 90 + 9 * 80 + 4 * 70 + 4 * 60 = 1510
Required average = 1510/20 = 75.5

6. (1)
Required ratio = (60% of 11) : (20% of 15) = 11 : 5
7. (1)
Required percentage = 20% of 21 = 4.2
8. (2)
Required difference = 11634 – 9366 = 2268
9. (3)
Required percentage = 19/21 * 100 = 90.4%
10. (5)
Required ratio = (1512 + 2184) : 9366 = 88 : 223
