Answers
 1.Ans(2)
Sol. A : B  = 3 : 2 = 9 : 6
B : C = 3 : 2 = 6 : 4
so A : B : C = 9 : 6 : 4
so Runs scored by B = 6/19 * 342
= 108

2.Ans(1)

Sol. Mother’s present age
= 30 years
Father’s present age = 37 year
Father’s age 10 years ago
= 37 – 10 = 27 years

3.Ans.(4)
Sol. Second number = x (let)
First number = 2x
Third number = 4x
so x  + 2x + 4x = 56 * 3
=> 7x = 56 * 3
x = 8 * 3 = 24
Other numbers are : 48 and 96

4.Ans.(3)
 Here, a=10L, n=2 and x=100L
Quantitiy of wine in end =x(1-a/x)^n
                                        =100(1-10/100)^2
                                        =81L
 Required ratio =81:(100-81)=81:19

5.Ans(4)
Sol.
 Let the marks of A,B and C are 10x,12x and 15X respectively.
 maximum marks of C=15*6=90 and maximum marks of
 b=12*6=72 hence the marks of B cannot be in the range of (80-90)

6.Ans(2)
Sol.
 Let CP=Rs 1000
 Actual CP=Rs 920 and selling price =(1000*115)/100 = 1150
 Actual profit percentage = (1150-920)/920 * 100% =25% 

7.Ans.(2)  
Sol. Let the number of purchased pack = x
so According to question.
4500/x = 4500/x -10 - 5
or, 4500 [1/(x )-1/(x - 10)] = -5
or, 900 [1/(x - 10)  - 1/(x )] = 1
or, (900 [x - (x - 10) ])/((x - 10)x)= 1
or, 900 * 10 = x^2 - 10x
or , x^2 - 10x - 9000 = 0
or x^2 - 100x + 90x - 9000
= 0
or, x(x - 100) + 90 (x -100)
= 0
or, (x + 90) (x - 100) = 0
or, x = - 90 and 100
Since the value of x should not be negative, therefore, the required answer is 100. 

8.Ans.(3)

Sol.

By using allegation method,

We get the ratio of kg of coffee of 33 kg price to the 27 kg price=5:1

So 50 kg of coffee is mixed with 10 kg of coffee to get the price of 32 per kg of coffee for amount of 60 kg

9.Ans.(1)

Sol. work done by 2(A + B + C) in one day

= (1/3  +1/6+1/8 ) 

= (8 + 4 + 3)/24 = 15/24 = 5/8 part

so (A + B + C)'s one day work

= 5/8*2 = 5/16 work

so Whole work can be done by

(A + B + C) in 16/5 days 

10.Ans.(3)
Sol.
Downstream speed = 30/2 =15 km/h
Upstreams speed = 30/6 = 5 km/h
so speed of the boat = 1/2(15+5)
=1/2 x 20 = 10 km/h
