10.A producer of tea blends two varieties of tea from two tea gardens one costing Rs 18 per kg and another Rs 20 per kg in the ratio 5 : 3. If he sells the blended variety at Rs 31 per kg, then his gain percent is
(a).65.33%
(b).66.13%
(c).68.14%
(d).70.15%

Answers 
1.(c)
C.P. of the item = ( 13500 ×100 )/75 = Rs 18000
So, Reqd. S.P. of the item = (18000 × 125)/100=Rs 22500

2.(c)
The largest angle of the quadrilateral (6 ×360)/(6+4+3+5) = 120 degrees
Smallest angle of the triangle = 120 × 1/4 = 30 degrees
If second largest angle of the triangle = (x + 10)
So 30+ x+ x+10 = 180 , x = 70 degrees

3(b)
sum = diffx(100/r)^2
or,46000 = (736x10000)/r^2
or,r^2 = 736/46 = 16
r = 4

4(c)Let the managers get y Rs.
7/12 x y/30000 = 7/5
y = 72000
Total money = 72000X28x12/7= 34.56 lakh

5(b) 
Let the original number be x.
Let A be the value obtained when x is increased by 12.5%.
Therefore, A = x + 12.5% of x
Let B be the value obtained when x is decreased by 25%.
Therefore, B = x - 25% of x
The question states that A - B = 30
i.e., x + 12.5% of x - (x - 25% of x) = 30
x + 12.5% of x - x + 25% of x = 30
37.5% of x = 30
x = 30/37.5*100 = 80 

6(d)
Speed in still water = 4 kmph 
Speed of the stream = 2 kmph 
Speed upstream = (4-2)= 2 kmph
Speed downstream = (4+2)= 6 kmph
Total time = 90 minutes = 90⁄60 hour = 3⁄2 hour
Let L be the distance. Then
L/6+L/2=32
=> L + 3L = 9
=> 4L = 9
=> L = 9⁄4= 2.25 km

7(d)
Explanation :
If a car covers a certain distance at x kmph and an equal distance at y kmph,
the average speed of the whole journey = 2xy/(x+y) kmph
Hence, average speed = (2×3×2)/(2+3) =12/5 km/hr
Total time taken = 5 hours
=Distance travelled =12/5×5=12 km
=Distance between his house and office =12/2=6 km

8(a)
Explanation :
22 Apr 2222 = (2221 years + period from 1-Jan-2222 to 22-Apr-2222)
We know that number of odd days in 400 years = 0
Hence the number of odd days in 2000 years = 0 (Since 2000 is a perfect multiple of 400)
Number of odd days in the period 2001-2200
= Number of odd days in 200 years
= 5 x 2 = 10 = 3
(As we can reduce perfect multiples of 7 from odd days without affecting anything)
Number of odd days in the period 2201-2221
= 16 normal years + 5 leap years 
= 16 x 1 + 5 x 2 = 16 + 10 = 26 = 5 odd days 
Number of days from 1-Jan-2222 to 22 Apr 2222
= 31 (Jan) + 28 (Feb) + 31 (Mar) + 22(Apr) = 112 
112 days = 0 odd day
Total number of odd days = (0 + 3 + 5 + 0) = 8 = 1 odd day
1 odd days = Monday
Hence 22 Apr 2222 is Monday.

9(B)
Explanation :
Ratio of the initial capital of A and B = 4 : 5
Hence we can take the initial capitals of A and B as 4x and 5x respective
Ratio in which profit will be divided 
= (4x*3) + (3/4)*(4x)*7 : (5x*3)+ (4/5)*(5x)*7
= 12+21 : 15+28 
= 33 : 43
A's share = 760 * 33/76 = 330

 10(a)
Explanation:
Suppose he bought 5 kg and 3 kg of tea. 
Cost Price = Rs. (5 x 18 + 3 x 20) = Rs. 150. 
Selling price = Rs. (8 x 31) = Rs. 248. 
Profit = 248 -150 = 98
So, Profit % = (98/150) * 100 = 65.33%
