Solutions:
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. Let the other number be x. Then,
11 × 7700 = 275 × x
⇒x=(11×7700)/275=308
Hence, the other number is 308.
S3. Ans.(c)
Sol. The required greatest number is the HCF (263 – 7, 935 – 7, 1383 – 7)
i.e., HCF OF 256, 928 and 1376
HCF = 32
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. (54 – 35) = 19, (80 – 61)
= 19 and (119 – 100) = 19
LCM of 54, 80 and 119 is 257040.
Required least number = 257040 + 19 = 257059
Sum of the digits of 257059 = 2 + 5 + 7 + 0 + 5 + 9 = 28
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. Sum of the present age of family members
= 33 × 5 = 165 years
9 years ago,
Sum of their ages = 165 – 9 × 5 = 120 years
∴ Required average age = 120/4 = 30 years
S7. Ans.(b)
Sol. Required Average
=(100×46-61-34+16+43)/90
=(4600-36)/90=4564/90=50.7
S9. Ans.(d)
Sol. Let the maximum aggregate marks be x.
According to the question,
10% of x = 296 – 222
⇒x/10=74
⇒ x = 74 ×10 = 740
S10. Ans.(a)
Sol. Directly: Cost price for 5 Lemon is Rs. 4
So, SP for 5 Lemon = 4 × ((100 + 75))/100 = Rs. 7
So, SP for 1 Lemon = 7/5 = Rs. 1.4
