(b) 25 days
(c) 30 days
(d) 32 days
(e) None of these

Answers:
1.(d); Rent per square foot per year=2244/(18×22)×12=(102×12)/18=(102×2)/3=Rs.68

2. 
(d); Let length of new rectangle be x m
Then x×10=150×4/3=200   or, x=20 m
Hence new perimeter=2(10+20)=60 m

3.(b); Required volume=2/3 π(R^3-r^3 )=2/3 π((4.5)^3-4^3 )
=2/3×22/7×27.125=(cm)^3=56.83 cm^3 

4.(b); Required ratio=(2πr^2)/πrl=2r/l=2r/√(r^2+r^2 )=2r/(√2 r)=√2/1   
5. (b); Short Method: 4 litre≡20% of total amount
or, 4×100/20≡total amount or, total amount=20 litre

6.(a); The speed of first bullock cart=24/3=8 km/h
The speed of second bullock cart=120/2=60km/h
Required ratio= 8 : 60=2 : 15

7.(d); Increase in population per thousand=32-11=21
Required percentage increase=21/1000×100%=2.1%

8.(b); Actual increase in population=3%
Let, earlier population=100 then the population after 3 years 
=100(1+3/100)^3=109.2727 
∴Required percentage=9.27%

9.(c); Let the player took x wickets at the average of 24.85
Then 24.85×x+52=24(x+5) or, 0.85x=68  or, x=80
Total wickets=80+5=85

10.(d); Let the number of another labour=x
The number of agriculture labour =11x 
Total annual income=11x×S+x×T
Average annual income=(11S+T)x/12x=(11S+T)/144
Average monthly income=(11S+T)/(12×12)=(11S+T)/144

11.(b); If the rate is 3% more then (2900×3×3)/100=Rs.261 as interest will incurred.
So, new amount=3422+261=Rs. 3683

12.(b); Rs.10,000 for 5 years and Rs. 12,000 for 3 years
So, 10000+(10000×5×r)/100+12000+(12000×3×r)/100=27160 
Or, 86r =516 or, r=6≡6%

13.(b); (Age of Ram)/(Age of Rahim)=3/2×5/5=15/10
(Age of Rahim)/(Age of Aman)=5/2=10/4;  
∴(Age of Ram)/(Age of Aman)=15/4=15∶4 

14.(e); If the age of Vijay is x years then the age of Suraj is 6x years
From the question, 6x-x=20⟹x=4
∴Present age of Suraj =6×4=24 years

15.(a); Let B alone can complete a work in t days then 15/60+30/t=1 
Or, 30/t=1-1/4=3/4 or, t=40


So, required time=(40×60)/(40+60)=24 days
