Directions(1-10): In each of the following questions, a question is followed by two  statements . Read all the statements and find that which statements are required to answer the question and answer accordingly.

  1. There are two cylindrical rollers – bigger and smaller. How many rotations will the bigger roller take to flatten a stretch of land(X)?
    The respective ratio of the radii of the bigger and the smaller roller is 7:3. Both the rollers are of the same length.
    II. The smaller takes 63 rotations to flatten the stretch of land(X).
    A) Either I or II
    B) Neither I nor II
    C) Only II
    D) Only I
    E) Both are required

    View Answer
      Option E
    Solution:
    From both the statements,
    Radius of the larger roller = 7x units
    Radius of the smaller roller = 3x units
    Area flattened by smaller roller in 63 rotations = 2*pi * 3x * l * 63
    Therefore, 6 * 63*pi*r*l = 2*pi * 7x * l * n
    => n = 27
  2. What was the total compound interest on a sum after three years?
    I. The interest after one year was Rs. 100 and the sum was Rs. 1000.
    II. The difference between simple interest and compound interest on a sum of Rs. 1000 at the end of two years was Rs. 10.
    A) Only II
    B) Only I
    C) Either I or II
    D) Neither I nor II
    E) Both I and II

    View Answer
      Option  C
    Solution:
    From statement I: r = (100*100)/1000 = 10%
    P = Rs. 1000 , r = 10%, t = 3 years
    Hence, CI can be described.
    From statement II: SI = (1000*r*2)/100 = 20r
    CI = 1000[(1+(r/100)^2) – 1] Therefore, CI – SI = 1000[(1+(r/100)^2) – 1] – 20r
    => r = 10
    Hence , CI can be determined.
  3. What is the marked price of the pen ?
    I. The marked price of the pen is 20% above the cost price of the pen.
    II. When a discount of 25% is given on the marked price of the pen, the loss incurred is 10%. The cost price of the pen is Rs.300.
    A) Both I and II
    B) Only I
    C) Neither I nor II
    D) Only II
    E) Either I or II

    View Answer
      Option D
    Solution:
    From statement I: no result comes.
    From statement II: x*(75/100) = (300*90)/100
    => x = 27000/75

    From this we can find  (A + B + C) ‘s one day’s of work .
    From statement II: No such result can be concluded.

    B) Either I or II
    C)Neither I nor II
    D) Both I and II
    E) Only I

    View Answer
      Option B
    Solution:
    Diagonal of the square = Diameter of the circular field
    From statement I: side of square = √3000 cm
    diagonal of square = √2 * √3000 cm
    Area of the circular field = 22/7 * (diagonal/2)^2
    From statement II: side of a square = √3600
    = 60cm = diameter of circle
    Area of circular field = (22/7)* 30*30
