ANSWERS
1. (5)

2. (4)

3. (1)

4. (3)

5. (2)

6. (1)
Amount invested in equity fund in second year = 36400
Total amount invested in second year = 5/2 of 36400 = 91000
Let the Initial amount was x. Then
1.4x = 91000
x = 65000
Original amount invested in equity fund = 7/13 of 65000 = 35000

7. (2)
Let the numbers be x and y.
Original product = xy
New Product = 2x (25% of y) = xy/2
Since it is half of the original product the answer is 50%.

8. (1)
Total number of key depressions by them in 1 hour = 666000/(15 * 5) = 8880
Let the number of key depressions of Raman in 1 hour be x. Then
x + 85% of x = 8880
x = 4800

9. (5)
Profit % = 50 - 30 + {50 * (-30)}/100 = 5%

10. (2)
Arpan’s salary in 2010 = 25920 * 100/120 * 100/120 = 18000
