The ratio among the three number is 3:5 5 : 11 __________ 15: 25: 55 Third number = [152/(15+25+55)]×55 = (152/95) × 55 = 88 Answer: c 69. Ratio of time = (10/2):(7/3):(5/4) = 5:(7/3):(5/4) Ratio = 60:28:15 Answer: e 70. Required population = 800000[1-15/100]3 = 800000[17/20]3 = (800000×17×17×17)/8000 = 491300 = 4.913 lakhs Answer: c 71). Let the first no. be x. Sum of 2nd and 3rd no=7/2 x Sum of fourth and fifth number= 23/4 x ∴ Average = [x+ (7/2 x) + (23/4 x)] / 5 =41 or, 41x/20=41 ∴x=20 Average of first, second and third no= (70+115) / 4 =46.25 Answer: d) 72).Let the unit’s digit be y and ten’s digit be x. Then the number=10x+y Given, y-x=3….(ⅰ) Again, (10y+x) = (1+ 3/4) (10x+4) or, 10y+x=7/4(10x+y) or, 40y+4x=70x+7y or, 66x=33y or, x/y=1/2 or, 2x=y….(ⅱ) Now, putting the value in equation (ⅱ), we get 2x-x=3 or, x=3 ∴y=6 ∴Reqd difference {(6+3) – (6-3)} = {9-3} =6 Answer: c) 73).Suppose the present age of A= x and present age of B=y Given= (1+ 1/3) x = (y+2) or, 4/3x=y+2 or, 4x=3y+6….(ⅰ) Again, (x+3) / (y-2) =11/12 or, 12x+36=11y-22 or, 12x-11y=-58….(ⅱ)

Answer is: d) 58). The difference gets multiplied by 3 successively. The series is 3 + 5 = 8, 8 + 15 = 23, 23 + 45 = 68, 68 + 135 = 203, 203 + 405 = 608, …. Answer is: b) 59). The series is 12 × 0.5 = 6, 6 × 1 = 6, 6 × 1.5 = 9, 9 × 2 = 18, 18 × 2.5 = 45, …. Answer is: a) 60). The series is 9 + (1 × 6) = 15, 15 + (2 × 6) = 15 + 12 = 27, 27 + (3 × 6) = 27 + 18 = 45, 45 + (4 × 6) = 45 + 24 = 69, 69 + (5 × 6) = 69 + 30 = 99, 99 + (6 × 6) = 99 + 36 = 135, …. Answer is: c) 61. There are two possibility for each students either fail or pass. Number of ways for the result = (2)8 = 256 Answer: d 62. n(S) = Number of ways of sitting 12 person at round table = (12-1)! = 11! If we consider 2 particular person as one unit then number of person = 12-2+1 =11 So 11 persons can sit on round table in (11-1)!=10! Ways. The two persons can sit in 2! Ways among themselves. n(E) = 10!×2! n(S)=11! P(E)=(10!×2!/11!) = (2!/11!) = (2/11) Answer: d 63. Let the invest Rs. x at a rate of r% pa in Bank A. (xr5/100)=3800 =xr = 76000 ….(i) In Bank B he invests Rs. (x+3800) at a rate of 2r% pa. [(x+3800)(2r×10)/100] = 30400 xr+3800r = [(30400×100)/(2×10)] Using value from (i) 76000+3800r = 1520000 r=20% pa. =>x × 20 = 76000 X = 3800 Answer: a 64. Required sum = 4000(4000/8000)2 = 4000×(1/4) = 1000 Answer: b 65. Required sum =(1+3+5+7+ ….. +17th odd number)-(1+3) = 172 – 4 = 289 – 4 = 285 Answer: a 66. Let the number is 10x + y. 10x+y-(10y+x) = 45 => 9(x-y) = 45 x-y=5 www.ibpsguide.in | mock.ibpsguide.in | www.sscexamguide.com

BASE INSTITUTE – NAMAKKAL | www.ibpsguide.com On solving (ⅰ) and (ⅱ), we get x=30, y=38 ∴Reqd ratio= (30+5) / (38-3) = 35/35= 1:1 Answer: d) 74).As one-fifth of the solution (milk + water) is sold. Solution draw out=100 × 1/5 = 20liters Quantity of milk drawn out= 20 × 3/4=15 liters Quantity of water drawn out=20 × 1/4=5 liters Now, adding 20 liters of water, the quantity of water=25-5+20=40 liters Also quantity of milk=75-15=60 liters ∴Reqd ratio = 40:60 =2:3 Answer: a) 75).Ratio of women to men=13:11 Ratio of wages

Now, (x-30.25) / (36.25-x) =13/11 ∴Men=x-Rs.33.5 Women=Rs.27.5 Answer: a) 76). Total income of country C2 from both the years = 80+95 = 175 crore Total income of country C6 from both years = 85+100 = 185 crore Required ratio = 175/185 = 35/37 = 35:37 Answer: a 77). Required percentage= [(Total income of country C1 in both the years)/(Total income of country C5 in both the years)]×100 = [(60+90)/(75+90)]×1100 = (150/165)×100 = 90.91% Answer: c 78). Average income of country C1 , C2 and C3 in 2012 = 1/3 (60+80+75) = 215/3 Average income of country C2 , C4 and C5 in 2013 = 1/3 (95+40+90) = 225/3 Required % = [(215/3)/(225/3)]×100 = 95.56% Answer: d 79). Average income of all the countries in 2012 =( 60+80+75+45+75+85)/6 = 420/6 Average income of all the countries in 2013 = (90+95+55+40+90+100)/6 = 470/6

Required ratio = (420/6):(470/6) = 42:47 Answer: e 80). Required % growth = [(90-75)/75]×100 = 20% Answer: c ENGLISH LANGUAGE 81. D 82. B 83. D 84. E 85. C 86.
