III. Some rivers are lakes.

A. Only conclusion I follows

B. Either conclusion II or III follows

C. Only conclusions II and III follow

D. Only conclusions I and II follow

Solution

Least possible Venn diagram:

Conclusions:

I. Some rivers are not lakes → Doesn’t Follow (As all ponds are Lake and no pond is river but some rivers could be lake and lake that is pond could not be river so we can say that Some rivers are not lakes is a possibility not definite)

II. No river is a lake → could be possible (As all ponds are Lake and no pond is river so we can not say anything about No river is a lake. it could be possible)

This possibility scenarios can be shown using the below Venn diagram:

III. Some rivers are lakes → could be possible (As all ponds are Lake and no pond is river but some rivers could be lake and lake that is pond could not be river so we can say that Some rivers are lakes is a possibility)

This possibility scenarios can be shown using the below Venn diagram:

Thus the either-or scenario is applicable in the conclusion II and III because elements in the conclusion II and III are the same and there is a possibility shown in both conclusions.

Here, Either conclusion II or III follow.

Hence, the correct answer is “Option 2”.

Important Points

Complementary pair

1) When both the elements of conclusions are the same.

2) When both the conclusions are false individually.

There are only two different types of complementary pairs, which satisfy the condition of either or.

41. In a mixture of 60 litres, the ratio of milk and water is 2 ∶ 1. What amount of water must be added to make the ratio of milk and water as 1 ∶ 2?

A. 42 litres

B. 56 litres

C. 60 litres

D. 77 litres

Solution

Given:

The total quantity of mixture = 60 litres

The ratio of milk to water = 2 : 1

Calculation:

Quantity of milk in the mixture = 60 × (2/3) = 40 litres

Quantity of water in the mixture = 60 – 40 = 20 litres

Let the added quantity of water be x

According to the question,

40/(x + 20) = 1/2

⇒ 40 × 2 = (x + 20)

⇒ 80 = x + 20

⇒ x = 80 – 20

⇒ x = 60

∴ Added quantity of water is 60 litres.

42. The average marks of a student in six subjects is 94. After re-evaluation in three subjects the marks were changed to 89 from 75, 90 from 82 and 88 from 80. In the remaining subjects, the marks remained unchanged. Find the new average marks.

A. 95

B. 97

C. 98

D. 99

Solution

Formula used:

New Average = (Total Original Marks + Change in Marks) / Total Number of Subjects

Calculation:

Total original marks = 94 × 6

⇒ Total original marks = 564

Change in marks: (89 – 75) + (90 – 82) + (88 – 80)

⇒ Change in marks = 14 + 8 + 8

⇒ Change in marks = 30

New total marks = 564 + 30

⇒ New total marks = 594

New average = 594 / 6

⇒ New average = 99

∴ The correct answer is option (4).

43. The diameter of a pizza is 8 cm; it will cost 240 rupees, and the diameter of other pizzas is 12 cm; it will cost 360 rupees. If the size of the pizza is directly proportional to the price, then find a discount on the second pizza.

A. Rs. 190

B. Rs. 182

C. Rs. 180

D. Rs. 192

Solution

Given:

Diameter of First Pizza = 8 cm; Radius = 4 cm

Price = Rs 240.

Diameter of Second Pizza = 12 cm; Radius = 6 cm

Price = Rs 360.

Concept:

The price is proportional to the size (i.e., the area), we should find the cost per square cm.

Calculation:

Area of the first pizza = π × (4)² = 16π cm².

Price per cm² for the first pizza = 240/16π ≈ Rs 4.77/cm²

Area of the second pizza = π × (6)² = 36π cm².

The expected price for the second pizza = 4.77 × 36π ≈ Rs 540.

The discount on the second pizza is Rs 540 – Rs 360 = Rs 180.

∴ The correct answer is Rs 180.

44. A boy can swim in still water at a speed of 40 km/hr. If the speed of the current would have been 15 km/hr, then find the time in which the boy could swim 25 km upstream.

A. 2 hours

B. 2.5 hours

C. 1 hour

D. 3 hours

Solution

Given:

A boy can swim in still water at a speed of 40 km/hr.

The speed of the current would have been 15 km/hr.

Let’s find the time in which the boy could swim 25 km upstream

Concept used:

Upstream speed = Boat speed – speed of the current

Distance = speed × time

Calculation:

Upstream speed will be

⇒ 40 – 15 = 25 km

So, the time taken will be

⇒ 25 / 25 = 1 hr

∴ The time in which the boy could swim 25 km upstream in 1 hr.

Additional Information Downstream speed = Boat speed + speed of the current.

45. A factory’s yearly budget for the purchase of employees’ protection shoes increased by 60% this year over last year. If the price of the shoes increased by 20% this year, then the number of shoes it can purchase this year is what percent greater than the number of shoes it purchased last year?

A. 33 1/3%

B. 142%

C. 48%

D. 140%

Solution

Given:

A factory’s yearly budget for the purchase of employees’ protection shoes increased by 60% this year over last year. The price of the shoes increased by 20% this year.

Formula used:

Number of shoes this year = (Budget this year) / (Price this year)

Calculation:

Let the initial budget be B and the initial price per shoe be P.

Increased budget = B + 0.60B = 1.60B

Increased price per shoe = P + 0.20P = 1.20P

Number of shoes last year = B / P

Number of shoes this year = 1.60B / 1.20P

⇒ Number of shoes this year = (1.60 / 1.20) × (B / P)

⇒ Number of shoes this year = 1.33 × (B / P)

⇒ Increase in number of shoes = 1.33 – 1 = 0.33

⇒ Percentage increase = 0.33 × 100%

⇒ Percentage increase = 33(1)/(3)%

∴ The correct answer is option 1.

46. A sum of Rs.9,400 is divided between A, B and C such that the ratio of the shares of A and B is 4 ∶ 3 and the of B and C is 5 ∶ 4. What is the share of C?

A. Rs. 2,600

B. Rs. 2,400

C. Rs. 2,200

D. Rs. 2,000

Solution

Given:

Given sum = Rs. 9,400

Ratio of A and B = 4 : 3

Ratio of B and C = 5 : 4

Calculation:

To make B equal, we will multiply (A : B) by 5 and (B : C) by 3

New ratio of A : B = (4 : 3) × 5 = 20 : 15

New ratio of B : C = (5 : 4) × 3 = 15 : 12

Now, ratio of A : B : C = 20 : 15 : 12

Now, (20 + 15 + 12) = Rs. 9,400

⇒ 47 = Rs. 9400

So, 12 = Rs. (9400/47) × 12

⇒ Rs. 2,400

∴ Share of C is Rs. 2,400

47.

48. How much will a sum of ₹60,000 become after one year if the interest is compounded half-yearly at 18% per annum compound interest?

A. ₹72,166

B. ₹71,391

C. ₹71,286

D. ₹70,471

Solution

Given:

Principal (P) = ₹60,000

Rate (r) = 18% per annum compounded half-yearly

Time (t) = 1 year

Formula used:

A = P × (1 + r/n)^{(n × t)}

Where,

A = Amount
P = Principal
r = Annual Rate of Interest (in decimal)
n = Number of times interest is compounded per year
t = Time (in years)

Calculations:

A = 60,000 × (1 + 0.18/2)^{(2 × 1)}

⇒ A = 60,000 × (1 + 0.09)²

⇒ A = 60,000 × (1.09)²

⇒ A = 60,000 × 1.1881

⇒ A = ₹71,286

∴ The correct answer is option (3).

49. If simple interest on a certain principal amount at 5% per annum for 5 years is Rs. 900 more than the simple interest on the same principal amount for 4 years at 4% per annum, then find out the principal amount.

A. Rs. 9,000

B. Rs. 10,500

C. Rs. 10,000

D. Rs. 12,000

Solution

Formula used:

Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100

Calculation:

Simple Interest for 5 years at 5% = (P × 5 × 5) / 100 =

25P/100

Simple Interest for 4 years at 4% = (P × 4 × 4)/100 = 16P/100

25P/100 – 16P/100 = 900

⇒ 9P/100 = 900

⇒ 9P = 90000

⇒ P = 10000

Therefore, the principal amount is Rs. 10,000.

50. A certain number is added to each of a pair of numbers which are in the ratio 4 ∶ 5. The sum of the resulting numbers is 39 and their ratio (taken in the same order as mentioned above) is 6 ∶ 7. What is the number added?

A. 6

B. 7

C. 8

D. 9

Solution

Given:

The ratio of the numbers initially = 4 : 5

The sum of the resulting numbers

Calculation:

Let the numbers be 4x and 5x respectively and certain number be N

According to the question

⇒ 4x + N + 5x + N = 39

⇒ 9x + 2N = 39 —-(1)

⇒ 28x + 7N = 30x + 6N

⇒ 7N – 6N = 30x – 28x

⇒ N = 2x —-(2)

By putting the value of N in equation (1)

⇒ 9x + 2 × (2x) = 39

⇒ 9x + 4x = 39

⇒ 13x = 39

The number added N = 2x = 2 × 3 = 6

∴ The required result will be 6.

51. A four-digits number abba is divisible by 4 and a < b. How many such numbers are there?

A. 10

B. 8

C. 12

D. 6

Solution

Concept used:

If the last 2 digits of any number divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 4

Calculation:

According to the question, the numbers are

2332, 2552, 4664, 2772, 6776, 4884, 2992, and 6996

So, there are 8 such numbers in the form abba, divisible by 4

∴ The correct answer is 8

Mistake Points

If you are considering an example ending with 20,

then, ‘abba’ will be ‘0220’, and 0220 is not a four-digit number.

Similarly in the case of the example ending with 40,60,80.

52. The marked price of a bed sheet is ₹500. At the time of its sale, two successive discounts of 10% and 5% are available. Find the selling price (in ₹) of the bed sheet.

A. 432.50

B. 427.50

C. 445.00

D. 430.00

Solution

Given:

Initial price = ₹500

First discount = 10%

Second discount = 5%

Formula Used:

Price after discount = Initial price × (1 – Discount/100)

Calculation:

Price after 1^st discount = 500 × (1 – 10/100)

⇒ 500 × 0.9

⇒ ₹450

Price after 2^nd discount = 450 × (1 – 5/100)

⇒ 450 × 0.95

⇒ ₹427.5

The selling price of the bed sheet is ₹427.5.

53. A and B can do a piece of work in 4 days. B and C can do the same work in 5 days. A and C can do it in 10 days. If A, B, C work together, in how many days can they complete the work?

Solution

Given:

A and B can complete the work in 4 days.

B and C can complete the work in 5 days.

A and C can complete the work in 10 days.

Formula Used:

Calculation:

Let the total work be LCM(4, 5, 10) = 20 units.

⇒ Efficiency of A and B = 20/4 = 5 units/day

⇒ Efficiency of B and C = 20/5 = 4 units/day

⇒ Efficiency of A and C = 20/10 = 2 units/day

⇒ Sum of efficiencies of A, B and C = (5 + 4 + 2) / 2 = 11 / 2 units/day

⇒ If A, B, and C work together, they can complete 11/2 units of work in a day.

54. A businessman cheats by using faulty weights, to the tune of 12% each time, when buying and selling material. What is the rise in his profit percentage using faulty weights only?

B. 25.44%

C. 24%

D. 26.32%

Solution

Given:

A shopkeeper cheats while buying as well as selling = 12%

Formula Used:

Profit% = a + b + (a × b)/100

Calculation:

Profit% = 12 + 12 + (12 × 12)/100 = 25.44

∴ The shopkeeper earned 25.44% profit.

Additional Information

This question is from one of the official papers of SSC.

According to SSC’s approach, the correct answer is 25.44%, as it follows the method of successive profit.

It’s crucial to understand that there are various methods to solve such questions and these methods can differ based on the exam board. For example, IBPS and other banking boards might yield an answer of 27.27% for a similar problem, but in this case, as we’re considering the SSC exam, we don’t take that into account, especially when it’s not among the given options.

55. In an exam, the minimum qualifying marks for classes A and B are 20% and 30% respectively. If the total marks of each class are the same and a student of class B scored 1050; thereby failing by 90 marks, find the passing marks for class A.

A. 760

B. 870

C. 770

D. 1050

Solution

Calculation:

Let the total marks of each class be x.

∴ Minimum qualifying marks for class B = 30% of x

According to question

30% of x = 1050 + 90

⇒ x = 3800

∴ Minimum qualifying marks for class A = 20% of 3800 = 760

Hence, the passing mark for class A is 760.

56. It takes two pipes A and B, running together, to fill a tank completely in 4 minutes. If it takes A, 6 minutes less than B, to fill the tank completely, then what will be the time taken by B alone to fill the tank completely?

A. 12 min

B. 20 min

C. 6 min

D. 15 min

Solution

Given:-

Time taken by Pipe A and B to fill a tank completely = 4 minutes

A takes 6 minutes less than B to fill a tank

Calculation:-

Let the time taken by Pipe A to fill the tank be x minutes.

Then time taken by Pipe B to fill the tank be (x + 6) minutes.

So, 1/x + 1/ (x + 6) = ¼

⇒ (2x + 6) / x(x + 6) = ¼

⇒ 8x + 24 = x² + 6x

⇒ x² – 2x -24 = 0

⇒ x² – 6x + 4x – 24 = 0

⇒ x(x-6) + 4(x-6) = 0

⇒ (x-6)(x+4) = 0

⇒ x = – 4 not possible

So, x = 6

∴Time taken by B alone to fill the tank completely = 6 + 6 = 12 minutes.

57. Seven bells ring at intervals of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 12 minutes, respectively. They started ringing simultaneously at 7.10 in the morning. What will be the next time when they all ring simultaneously?

A. 8.20 a.m

B. 8.26 a.m

C. 8.22 a.m

D. 8.24 a.m

Solution

Given:

Seven bells ring at intervals of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 12 minutes, respectively.

They started ringing simultaneously at 7:10 a.m.

Formula Used:

The time when all bells ring simultaneously is given by the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of their intervals.

Calculation:

Find the LCM of the intervals: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, and 12.

Prime factorization:

2 = 2

3 = 3

4 = 2²

6 = 2 × 3

8 = 2³

9 = 3²

12 = 2² × 3

LCM = 2³ × 3² = 8 × 9 = 72 minutes

Total time = 7:10 a.m. + 72 minutes

72 minutes = 1 hour 12 minutes

⇒ Next simultaneous ringing time = 7:10 a.m. + 1 hour 12 minutes

⇒ 8:22 a.m.

The next time when all the bells ring simultaneously is 8:22 a.m.

58. How many kilograms of sugar at Rs. 3.80 per kg must be mixed with 60 kg of sugar at Rs. 4.60 per kg, so that by selling the mixture at Rs. 5.20 per kg there may be a gain of 30%?

A. 170 kg

B. 120 kg

C. 160 kg

D. 180 kg

Solution

Given:

Cost price of sugar per kg to be mixed = Rs. 3.80.

Cost price of 60kg of sugar = Rs. 4.60 per kg.

Selling price of the mixture = Rs. 5.20 per kg.

Profit = 30%.

Formula Used:

Let the cost price of the mixture per kg be Rs. C.

Profit = (Selling Price – Cost Price) / Cost Price × 100

Weighted Average Cost Price = (Quantity1 × Price1 + Quantity2 × Price2) / (Quantity1 + Quantity2)

Calculation:

Let the mass of the sugar to be mixed be x kg.

Cost Price of x kg of sugar at Rs. 3.80 per kg = 3.80x.

Cost Price of 60 kg of sugar at Rs. 4.60 per kg = 4.60 × 60.

⇒ Total Cost Price = 3.80x + 4.60 × 60

⇒ Total Weight = x + 60 kg

Let C be the cost price of the mixture per kg, then

⇒ C = (3.80x + 4.60 × 60) / (x + 60)

Selling price of the mixture = Rs. 5.20 per kg, and profit = 30%,

⇒ C × 1.30 = 5.20

⇒ C = 5.20 / 1.30

⇒ C = 4

Substitute the value of C in the weighted average equation:

⇒ 4 = (3.80x + 276) / (x + 60)

⇒ 4x + 240 = 3.80x + 276

⇒ 4x – 3.80x = 276 – 240

⇒ 0.20x = 36

⇒ x = 36 / 0.20

⇒ x = 180 kg

Therefore, 180 kg of sugar at Rs. 3.80 per kg must be mixed with 60 kg of sugar at Rs. 4.60 per kg.

59. P is 20 percent more than Q and Q is 30 percent less than R. If P is 420, then what is the value of R?

A. 600

B. 500

C. 625

D. 700

Solution

Given:

P = 420

Concept:

Using the given percentages, we can determine the values of Q and R from P.

Calculation:

P = 120% of Q

⇒ P = 1.2Q

⇒ Q = P/1.2 = 420/1.2 = 350

⇒ Q = 0.7R

⇒ R = Q / 0.7 = 350/0.7 = 500

Hence, the value of R is 500.

60. Ram sold the cow at a loss of 12%. If he sold the cow for Rs. 7680 more, he would have gained 12%. Then if he sells the cow for Rs. 37760, what percentage of profit will he get?

A. 18%

B. 22%

C. 14%

D. 12%

Solution

Given:

Ram sold the cow at a loss of 12%. If he sold the cow for Rs. 7680 more, he would have gained 12%

Formula used:

Calculation:

25x × 112/100 = 22x + 7680

28x = 22x + 7680

6x = 7680

x = 1280

∴ Cp = 25 × 1280 = Rs. 32000

Now,

SP = Rs. 37760

Profit = 37760 – 32000 = Rs. 5760

Profit% = 5760 × 100/32000

∴ Profit% = 18%

Alternate Method

Let Cost price(CP) = x

x × 112 = 100 × [(22x/25) + 7680]

112x = 88x + 768000

24x = 768000

x = 32000

∴ Cost price(CP) = Rs. 32000

Now

New SP = Rs. 37760

Profit = 37760 – 32000

⇒ 5760

Profit% = 5760 × 100/32000

∴ Profit% = 18%

By next March we ________ here for four years

A. Shall be living

B. Shall live

C. Shall have been living

D. Shall have been lived

The structure of Future Perfect Continuous Tense is:
- “shall/will have been + present participle (verb + -ing)”
The sentence describes an action that will have been ongoing up to a specific point in the future, (By next March) which is four years.
Therefore, as per the points mentioned above, we find that the correct option is “Shall have been living“
The option “Shall be living” is incorrect because it is in Future Continuous Tense, which is used to describe an action that will be ongoing at a specific point in the future.
The option “Shall live” is incorrect because it is in Future Simple Tense, which is used to describe an action that will happen in the future without any emphasis on duration.
The option “Shall have been lived” is incorrect because it is not a grammatically correct sentence.

Thus, option 3 is the correct answer.

Correct sentence: By next March we shall have been living here for four years
