Q1. Directions: In the following questions two equations numbered I and II are given. You have to solve both the equations.
I. 8x2 + 30x + 28 = 0
II. 9y2 + 11y+2 =0
I. 8x2 + 30x + 28 = 0
II. 9y2 + 11y+2 =0
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
I. 8x2 + 30x + 28 = 0
x = (-7/4, -2)
II. 9y2 + 11y+2 =0
y = (-1, -2/9)
So x<y
Q2. 3 pumps, working 8 hours a day, can empty a tank in 2 days. How many hours a day must 4 pumps work to empty the tank in 1 day?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
Let the required number of working hours per day be x.
More pumps, Less working hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
Less days, More working hours per day (Indirect Proportion)
| Pumps | 4 | : | 3 |  | :: 8 : x |
| Days | 1 | : | 2 |
4 x 1 x x = 3 x 2 x 8
 x = | (3 x 2 x 8) |
| (4) |
x = 12.
Q3. 
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
Q4. If 
then the ratio x:y:z is
then the ratio x:y:z is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
Only if 2x – y = 0
= x/y = 1/2
⇒ x : y = 1 : 2
and, 3y – 2z = 0
= y/z = 2/3
⇒ y : z = 2 : 3
∴ x : y : z = 1 : 2 : 3
Q5. Direction: Go through the charts below and answer the questions based on it.
The bar-charts shown here represent the earning of Ashok Manufacturing Company Private Limited, a manufacturing company located in Delhi.
Bar chart (1) gives us the details of company earnings (In crores) in the four quarters of the year across the five countries – India, Pakistan, Nepal, China and Bangladesh.
Bar chart (2) gives the details of its total earning (In crores) in the four quarters in years 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Bar chart (1) is applicable for bar chart (2) and vice-versa.
Bar Chart (1)
Which country has brought maximum earning for company in the year 2014?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
In 2014,
Annual earnings from India (in crores) = 0.4 × 10 + 0.3 × 5 + 0.3 × 10 = 8.5
Annual earnings from Pakistan (in crores) = 0.2 × 10 + 0.25 × 5 + 0.3 × 25 = 10.75
Annual earnings from Nepal (in crores) = 0.35 × 10 + 0.4 × 25 + 0.25 × 10 = 16
Annual earnings from China (in crores) = 0.15 × 10 + 0.4 × 5 + 0.1 × 25 + 0.2 × 10 = 8
Annual earnings from Bangladesh (in crores) = 0.1 × 5 + 0.25 × 25 + 0.3 × 10 = 9.75
Hence, Nepal has the highest annual earnings in 2014

2187, 729, 243, 81, 27, 9, ?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
So, 3 will come at the place of question mark.
Q8. If the number 517*324 is completely divisible by 3, then the smallest whole number in the place of * will be:
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Sum of digits = (5 + 1 + 7 + x + 3 + 2 + 4) = (22 + x), which must be divisible by 3.
x = 2.
Q9. 
Study the table carefully to answer the questions that follow.
Number of trees planted (in hundreds) by five different NGOs in six different years in two different states
What was the respective ratio between the number of trees planted by NGO-A in the year
2006 in state-A and the number of trees planted by NGO-E in the year 2008 in state-B?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
Number of trees planted by NGO-A in the year 2006 in state - A = 2160
Number of trees planted by NGO-E in the year 2008 in state - B = 420
Required ratio
= 21.6 : 4.2
= 36 : 7
