Test Number 20/24

Q: In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class ?
A. 20
B. 25
C. 30
D.  Data inadequate
Solution: Let the number of boys and girls participating in sports be 3x and 2x respectively.   Then, 3x = 15 or x = 5.   So, number of girls participating in sports = 2x = 10.   Number of students not participating in sports = 60 - (15 + 10) = 35.   Let number of boys not participating in sports be y.   Then, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 -y).   Therefore (35 - y) = y + 5 <=> 2y<=>  30<=> y = 15.   So, number of girls not participating in sports = (35 - 15) = 20.   Hence, total number of girls in the class = (10 + 20) = 30.
The correct answer is: C) 30
Q: In a queue, Amrita is 10th from the front while Mukul is 25th from behind and Mamta is just in the middle of the two. If there be 50 persons in the queue. What position does Mamta occupy from the front ?
A. 14th
B. 16th
C. 18th
D. 20th
Solution: Number of persons between Amrita and Mukul = 50 - (10 + 25) = 15. Since Mamta lies in middle of these 15 persons, so Mamta`s position is 8th from Amrita i.e. 18th from the front.
The correct answer is: C) 18th

B. B) 4 - 8 + 12 d. 0
C. 8 + 4 - 12 f. 24
D.  8 - 4 + 12 h. 8
Solution: On interchanging + and - and 4 and 8 in (b), we get the equation as 8 + 4 - 12 = 0 or 12 - 12 = 0or 0 = 0, which is true.
The correct answers are: 12, B) 4 - 8 + 12, 0, 24, 8
