X = 72 Second Number 42. Sum of two numbers is 25 and their difference is 13. Find their product. A.104 B.108 C.114 D.124 Answer: Option C Explanation: Friends, this sort of question is quite important in competitive exams, whenever any question come which have relation between sum, product and difference, this formula do the magic: =>(x+y) 2= (x−y) 2 +4xy <=> (25)2= (13)2 +4xy <=>4xy = (25)2 −(13) 2 <=>xy=456/4 =114 45. Sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 4. The ratio of the numbers is A.10:3 B.5:9 C.11:9 D.13:9 Answer: Option C Explanation: =>(x+y)/(x−y) =40/4 =>(x+y)=10(x−y) =>9x=11y=>x/y =11/9 43. In 10 years, A will be twice as old as B was 10 years ago. If A is now 9 years older than B, the present age of B is A.35 B.37 C.39 D.41 Answer: Option C Explanation: Let B's age = x years. Then, As age = (x+ 9) years. (x+9+10)=2(x—10) Hence x=39. Present age of B = 39 years 44. Ten years ago A was half of B in age. If the ratio of their present ages is 3 : 4, what will be the total of their present ages A.30 B.35 C.37 D.41 Answer: Option B Rest of the part of Q.44 Explanation: Let A's age 10 years ago = x years. Then, B's age 10 years ago = 2x years. Ratio of their present ages (x + 10) / (2x+ 10) = 3/4

Page 8

=> x = 5. So, the total of their present ages =(x + 10 + 2x + 10) = (3x + 20) = 35 years 46. Kamran was thrice as old as Ali 6 years back. Kamran will be 5/3 times as old as Ali 6 years hence. How old is Ali today? A.12 B.16 C.18 D.24 Answer: Option A Explanation: Let Ali’s age 6 years back = x. Then, Kamran age 6 years back = 3x. (5/3) × (X + 6 + 6) = (3X + 6 + 6) So 5(x+ 12) = 3(3x+ 12), so x=6. Ali’s Age = (x+ 6) years = 12 years 47. Six years ago, the ratio of the ages of Rehmat and sunny was 6:5, Four years hence, the ratio of their ages will be 11:10. What is Sunny age at present? A.10 years B.12 years C.14 years D.16 years Answer: Option D Explanation: Let six years ago the ages of Rehmat and Sunny are 6x and 5x respectively.Then, =>(6x+6)+4/(5x+6)+4 =11/10 <=>10(6x+10)=11(5x+10) <=>5x=10=>x=2 SoSunny’s age is (5x+6) = 16 48. Average age of A and B is 24 years and average age of B, C and D is 22 years. The sum of the ages of A, B, C and D is A.90 B.98 C.120 D. Data is not adequate (sufficient, enough) Answer: Option D 49. Total of the ages of A, B and C at present is 90 years. Ten years ago, the ratio of their ages was 1: 2: 3. What is the age of B at present? A.25 B.30 C.45 D.60 Answer: Option B Explanation: Let their ages 10 years ago are x, 2x and 3x years. x+ 10 + 2x + 10 + 3x + 10 = 90 hence x= 10 B’s present age = (2x + 10) =30 years 50. A man is 24 years older than his son. In two years, his age will be twice the age of his son. The present age of his son is A.20 years B.21 years C.22 years D.24 years Answer: Option C

GENERAL ABILITY EXAMS MODEL PAPERS FOR FPSC/SPSC/BPSC/KPPSC/PPSC/NTS/BTS/PTS/UTS/OTS Explanation: Let the son's present age be x years. Then, man's present age = (x + 24) years => (x + 24) + 2 = 2(x + 2) => x + 26 = 2x + 4 So, x = 22 51. Ratio of ages of three persons is 4:7:9, Eight years ago, the sum of their ages was 56. Find their present ages. A.16,35,36 B.12,28,36 C.16,28,27 D.16,28,36 Answer: Option D Explanation: Let the present ages are 4x, 7x, 9x. => (4x-8) + (7x-8) + (9x-8) = 56 => 20x = 80 => x = 4 So their present ages are: 16,28,36 52.

A.Rs 25300 B.Rs 22300 C.Rs 24300 D.Rs 21300 Answer: Option A Explanation: This type of question can be easily and quickly solved as following: Let at Rs x it can earn 15% pr0fit 85:18700 = 115: X [as, loss = 100 -15, Profit = 100 +15] X = (18700×115)/85 = Rs.25300 55. A shopkeeper sells a transistor at Rs. 840 at a gain of 20% and another for Rs. 960 at the loss of 4%. Find his total gain percent. A.5 % B.5 % C.5 % D.5 % Answer: Option D Explanation: In this type of question, we will first find total C.P. of items, then total S.P. of items, then we will get gain or loss. From which we can easily calculate its percentage. So lets solve it now. So, C.P. of 1st transistor = (100/120) ×840=700 C.P. of 2nd transistor = (100/96) ×960 =1000

Total C.P. = 1700 Total S.P. = 1800 Gain = 1800 - 1700 = 100

Gain% = (100/1700) ×100 =51517 %

(a) 3 min (b) 3 min (c) 3 min (d) 3 min Answer: Option C Explanation: Do not be confused, Take this question same as that of work done question's. Like work done by 1st puncture in 1 minute and by second in 1 minute. Let’s Solve it: 1 minute work done by both the punctures = (1/9 +1/6 )=(5/18 ) So both punctures will make the type flat in (18/5 )mins =3 mins 42. A is twice as good as workman as B and together they finish a piece of work in 18 days. In how many days will B alone finish the work. (a) 27 days (b) 54 days (c) 56 days (d) 68 days Answer: Option B Explanation: As per question, A do twice the work as done by B. So A:B = 2:1 Also (A+B) one day work = 1/18 To get days in which B will finish the work, lets calculate work done by B in 1 day = =(1/18 ×1/3 )=1/54 [Please note we multiplied by 1/3 as per B share and total of ratio is 1/3]So B will finish the work in 54 days 43.

subtracting them. As, Son's one day work = (1/3 −1/5 )=(5−3/15 )=2/15 So son will do whole work in 15/2 days which is =7 days 44. A can do a job in 16 days, B can do same job in 12 days. With the help of C they did the job in 4 days. C alone can do the same job in how many days ? (a) 6 1/2 days (b) 7 1/2 days (c) 8 3/5 days (d) 9 3/5 days C's 1 day work = 1/4 −(1/16 +1/12 )=(1/4 −7/48 )=5/48 So C can alone finish the job in 48/5 days, Which is = 9 day 45. To complete a work A and B takes 8 days, B and C takes 12 days, A,B and C takes 6 days. How much time A and C will take (a) 24 days (b) 16 days (c) 12 days (d) 8 days Answer: Option D Explanation: A+B 1 day work = 1/8 B+C 1 day work = 1/12 A+B+C 1 day work = 1/6 We can get A work by (A+B+C)-(B+C) And C by (A+B+C)-(A+B) So A 1 day work = 1/6 −1/12 =1/12 Similarly C’s 1 day work = 1/6 −1/8 =4−3/24 =1/24 So A and C’s 1 day work =1/12 +1/24 =3/24 =1/8 So A and C can together do this work in 8 days 46. A does half as much work as B in three-fourth of the time. If together they take 18 days to complete the work, how much time shall B take to do it (a) 40 days (b) 35 days (c) 30 days (d) 25 days Answer: Option C Explanation:

Suppose B takes x dáys to do the work. As per question A will take 2×3/4 ×x =3x/2 days (A+B)s 1 days work= 1/18 1/x + 2/3x = 1/18 or x = 30 days 47. A is thrice as good a workman as B and takes 10 days less to do a piece of work than B takes. B alone can do the whole work in (a) 15 days (b) 10 days (c) 9 days (d) 8 days 48. A can do a piece of work in 15 days and B alone can do it in 10 days. B works at it for 5 days and then leaves. A alone can finish the remaining work in (a) 5 days (b) 6 days (c) 7.5 days (d) 8.5 days Answer: Option C Explanation: B's 5 days work = 1/10 ×5=1/2 Remaining work =1−1/2 =1/2 A can finish work =15×1/2 =7.5days 49. A can do a piece of work in 4 hours . A and C together can do it in just 2 hours, while B and C together need 3 hours to finish the same work. In how many hours B can complete the work ? (a) 10 hours (b) 12 hours (c) 16 hours (d) 18 hours Answer: Option B Explanation: Work done by A in 1 hour = 1/4 Work done by B and C in 1 hour = 1/3 Work done by A and C in 1 hour = 1/2 Work done by A,B and C in 1 hour = (1/4)+(1/3) = 7/12 Work done by B in 1 hour = (7/12)–(1/2) = 1/12 => B alone can complete the work in 12 hour

Then B also joins and A and B together finish the remaining work in 3 days. How long does it need for B if he alone completes the work? (a) 3 (b) 3 (c) 3 (d) 3 Answer: Option C Explanation: Work done by A in 20 days = 80/100 = 8/10 = 4/5 Work done by A in 1 day = (4/5) / 20 = 4/100 = 1/25 --- (1) Work done by A and B in 3 days = 20/100 = 1/5 (Because remaining 20% is done in 3 days by A and B) Work done by A and B in 1 day = 1/15 ---(2) Work done by B in 1 day = 1/15 – 1/25 = 2/75 => B can complete the work in 75/2 days = 3 7(1/2) days 51. A tank is filled by three pipes with uniform flow. The first two pipes operating simultaneously fill the tank in the same time during which the tank is filled by the third pipe alone. The second pipe fills the tank 5 hours faster than the first pipe and 4 hours slower than the third pipe. Find the time required by the first pipe to fill the tank ? (a) 10 hours (b) 15 hours (c) 17 hours (d) 18 hours Answer: Option B Explanation: Suppose, first pipe alone takes x hours to fill the tank . Then, second and third pipes will take (x -5) and (x - 9) hours respectively to fill the tank. As per question, we get 1/x +1/(x−5) =1/(x−9) =>x−5+x/x(x−5) =1/(x−9) =>(2x−5)(x−9)=x(x−5) =>x2 −18x+45=0 After solving this euation, we get (x-15)(x+3) = 0, As value cannot be negative, so x = 15 52. One pipe can fill a tank three times as fast as another pipe. If together the two pipes can fill the tank in 36 minutes, then the slower pipe alone will be able to fill the tank in (a) 144 mins (b) 140 mins

(c) 136 mins (d) 132 minw Answer: Option A Explanation: Let the slower pipe alone fill the tank in x minutes then faster will fill in x/3 minutes. Part filled by slower pipe in 1 minute = 1/x Part filled by faster pipe in 1 minute = 3/x Part filled by both in 1 minute = 1/x +3/x =1/36 =>4/x =1/36 x=36×4=144mins 53. 12 buckets of water fill a tank when the capacity of each tank is 13.5 litres. How many buckets will be needed to fill the same tank, if the capacity of each bucket is 9 litres? (a) 15 bukets (b) 17 bukets (c) 18 bukets (d) 19 bukets Answer: Option C Explanation: Capacity of the tank = (12×13.5) litres = 162 litres Capacity of each bucket = 9 litres. So we can get answer by dividing total capacity of tank by total capacity of bucket. Number of buckets needed = (162/9) = 18 buckets 54.

(a) 15 mins (b) 20 mins (c) 25 mins (d) 30 mins Answer: Option D Explanation: Let the total time be x mins. Part filled in first half means in x/2 = 1/40 Part filled in second half means in x/2 = 1/60 +1/40 =1/24 Total = x/2 ×1/40 +x/2 ×124 =1 =>x/2 (1/40 +1/24 )=1 =>x/2 ×1/15 =1 =>x=30mins
