Answers :

1. (4); Population in 2010 = 40 * 136/100 * 125/100  = 68 lakhs

2. (2) ;
Population of A in 1990 = 32 lakhs
Population of B in 1990 = 24 lakhs
Population of B in 2010 = 24 * 125/100 * 115/100 = 34.5 lakhs

3. (4)

4. (2)

5. (3)

Solutions (6-10)
6. (3) ;   
Both statements are required.

From statement I:
Shyam makes 100/10 = 10 toys in one day.

From statement II
Shyam and Ram make 150/6 toys in 1 day ie 25 toys in 1 day.
ie Ram alone makes 25 – 10 = 15 toys per day.
For 150 toys he will take 150/10 = 10 days.

7. (3);
Both statements are required.
Let their age be x and y.
From statement I:
x/y = 3/1
x = 3y  ...(i)
  
From statement II:
(x - 10)/ (y - 10) = 5/1 
x – 10 = 5y – 50
x – 5y = –40  ...(ii)
  
From equations (i) and (ii),
x = 60 years
y = 20 years

8. 5;
Using Statement I:
2(L + B) = 20
L + B = 10
Using Statement II:
L + B = 10
So, even by using both the statements together we cannot find the area of the rectangle.

9. (2) ;
Using Statement II:
In 2 days 5 typists type 200 letters.
In 1 day 5 typists type 100 letters.
In 1 day 1 typist types 20 letters.
In 1 day 12 typists type 240 letters.
