1.4
First number = 40 × 3 – (41 × 3 – 45)
= 120 – 123 + 45 = 42

2. 5
P[(1 + R/100)^3 - 1] = 868 --- (I)
P[(1 + R/100)^2 - 1] = 544 --- (II)

Divinding eq I by II and put, q = 1 + r/100
(q^3 - 1)/(q^2 - 1) = 868/544
[(q - 1)(q^2 + q + 1)]/(q - 1)(q + 1) = 217/136
(q^2 + q + 1)/(q + 1) = 217/136
q^2/q+1 = 81/136
136q^2 - 81q - 81
q = 9/8
1 + r/100 = 9/8
r = 1/8 * 100% = 12 1/2%

3. 2
Quantity of gold to be added
50 (95-80)/(100-95) = 50*15/5 = 150 gm

4. 1
Required answer
= [y{D - (d1 + d2)} - d2x]/ x
Where
y = 20
x = 80
D = 64
d1 = 36
d2 = 2
= [20{64 - (36 + 2)} - 2 * 80]/80
= (20 * 26 - 160)/80
(520 - 160)/80 = 4 1/2days

5. 4
Speed of other train = 60 sqroot[(6 2/3 / 3 3/4)]
= 60 sqroot[(20/3 * 3 4/15)]
= 60 * 4/3
= 80 km/hr

6. 2
Let the distance be x km
x/12-4 - x/12 + 4 = 5
x = 80km

7. 1
Let breadth = x m and length = 3/2 km
x * 3/2x = 3/2 * 10000
x^2 = 10000
x = 100 m
Length = 3/2 * 100 = 150m

8. 2
Total surface area = (sum of all three sides)2 – (Diagonal)2
= (24)^2 – (18)^2
= 42 × 6 = 252 cm^2

9. 1
Required number of ways = 2 × 4! × 4! = 1152
