Solutions
1. A
Let the number be x. 
75x - 45x = 81, x = 6.
2. A
Taking * = 3, number becomes 4356 which is divisible by 3 as well as by 11. The number is divisible by 33.
3. C
If they start together they will again ring together after LCM of 12, 15, 18 = 180 seconds= 3 minutes. In 1 hour, they will ring together 20 times.
4. B
Distance = Speed x Time. The ratio of distance travelled = 25 : 24.
5. A
Total contribution of John 2500 x 12 = $30000.
Total contribution of Marty 3000 x 6 + 2000 x 6 = $30000.
Total contribution of Fred 1500 x 9 + 3000 x 3 = $22500.
Therefore, John’s share of profit = 30,000/(30,000 + 30,000 + 22500) x 2750 = $1000.
6. A
Total age of p boys = pq. Total age of all boys after 3b more boys join = pq + q + -1 +2q +1 +2 = pq + 3q + 2.
Therefore, average age of the group = (pq + 3q + 2)/p+3
7. E
Wine left/capacity = (c-d/c)n , where d = mixture drawn out at a time, c = capacity, n = no. of operations.
Wine left/Capacity = (27-3/27)n = 64/81 .cap
Water : Wine = (81 – 64) : 64 = 17 : 64.
8. A
Amount of pure glycerin in 50 litres = 80 % of 50 = 40 litres.
Required level of impurity = 10 %.
Let x of pure glycerin be added, then the quantity of pure glycerin = (40 + x) and amount of pure glycerin in solution = 90% of (50 + x).
Therefore, 40 + x = 90% of (50 + x), => x = 50 litres.
9. B
Let the numbers of packets purchased by the businessman be x.
Then, 
Hence no. of packets = 100.
10. A
If 4 men and 6 women can do it in 8 days the 32 men and 48 women can do it in 1day.
Similarly, 30 men 70 women can do it in a day.
Equating, 32 men + 48 women = 30 men + 70 women.
=> 2 men = 22 women, or 1 man = 11 women.
=> 32 men + 48 women = (32x11 + 48) women 400 women.
=> 1 woman will take 400 days to complete the work.
=> 10 women will take 40 days to complete the work.
