6. If x - y + z = 19, y + z =20, x - z = 3, find the value of x + 4y - 5z ?
A.22 B.38 C.17 D.none
Answer: D
Explanation:
X - y + z = 19.......Eqn 1 y + z = 20............Eqn 2 x - z = 3...............Eqn 3 Adding Eqn 1 and Eqn 2 gives
x - y + z + y + z = x + 2z = 19 + 20 = 39 Subtracting Eqn 3 from the above gives x + 2z -(x - z) = 3z = 39 - 3 = 36............z = 12 From Eqn 2,y + 12 = 20 ......................y = 8 From Eqn 1, x - 8 + 12 = x + 4 = 19....x = 15 Then, x + 4y - 5z = 15 + (4x8) - (5x12) = 15 + 32 - 60 = -13

13. Train A starts from Meerut at 12:00 pm & reach at Delhi on 2:30 pm & train B starts from Delhi at 12:15pm and reach at Meerut on 2:15pm. So, when both trains crosses each other ?
A. 1.00PM B. 1.15PM C. 1.30PM D.NONE
Answer: B
Explanation:
Let the distance between Meerut & Delhi be x kms & let trains meet y hours after 12.15pm Speed of A= x/150 kms/min.
speed of B = x/120 kms / min. Distance covered by A in (y+15) min+distance covered by B in y hours=x (x/150)* (y+15) + (x/120) * y = x Equating
the equations Y=60 Hence trains meet at 1.15 pm.

22. Ten years ago, the ages of the members of a joint family of eight people added up to 231 years. Three years later, one member died at the age of 60 years and a child was born during the same year. After another three years, one more member died, again at 60, and a child was born during the same year.
The current average age of this eight member joint family is nearest to:
A.23years B.22years C.21years D.24years
Answer: D
Explanation:
The sum of the ages of the members of the family ten years ago = 231. The sum of the ages of the members of the family seven years ago = 231 +(3 × 8) - 60 =195.
The sum of the ages of the members of the family four years ago = 195 + (3 × 8) - 60 = 159 ∴ The sum of the ages of the members of the family
now = 159 + (4 × 8) = 191
∴ Required average = 191/8 = 23.875 ≈ 24.
23. A test has 50 questions. A student scores 1 mark for a correct answer, -1/3 for a wrong answer, and -1/6 for not attempting a question.
If the net score of a student is 32, the number of questions answered wrongly by that student cannot be less than ?
A.3 B.6 C.12 D.9
Answer: A
Explanation:
Let the number of correct answers be 'x', number of wrong answers be 'y' and number of questions not attempted be 'z'.
Thus, x + y + z = 50 ... (i) And x - y/3 - z/6 = 32 The second equation can be written as, 6x - 2y - z = 192 ... (ii) Adding the two equations we get,
7x - y = 242 or x = (242 + y)/7 Since, x and y are both integers, y cannot be 1 or 2. The minimum value that y can have is 3.
24. How many even integers n, where 100
A.40 B.37 C.38 D.39
Answer: D
Explanation:
There are 101 integers in all, of which 51 are even. From 100 to 200, there are 14 multiples of 7, of which 7 are even.
There are 11 multiples of 9, of which 6 are even. But there is one integer (i.e. 126) that is a multiple of both 7 and 9 and also even.
Hence the answer is (51 - 7 - 6 + 1) = 39
