1 .
 Answer : Option B Explanation : R + S = S + M + 15 ⇒ R – M = 15 ……..(i)and , $R + S + M \over 3$ = $R + S \over 2$ or, 3R + 3S = 2R + 2S + 2MM = $R + S \over 2$ ------(ii)Putting (ii) in (i) R-$(R+S)\over 2$ = 15 R-s = 30
2 .
 Answer : Option A Explanation : Area of the park = 12000m$^2$Area of the park excluding the lawn = 8700 m$^2$ Area of the lawn = 12000 - 8700 = 3300m$^2$ OR r = $\sqrt{3300 \times 7 \over 22}$ = $\sqrt{1050}$ $\cong$ 32.40 ms
3 .
 Answer : Option B Explanation : Speed of 1st train = $200 \over 10$ = 20 m/s.Now, speed of 2nd train = Speed of first train Where x = length of 2nd trainx = 100mNow total length = 100 + 200 = 300 mNow s = 20 m/sTime = $300 \over 20$ = 15 seconds
4 .
 Answer : Option B Explanation : Let CP = Rs.100 Marked price = Rs.140Now, $100 \over 7$% of 140 = Rs.20 And 10 % of (140 = 20) = 12 SP = 140 - (20 + 12) = Rs. 108 Percentage profit = $108 - 100 \over 100$ x 100 = 8 %
5 .
 Answer : Option C Explanation : Let total distance is 100 km T1 = 25/50 = ½ hour T2 = 60/40 = 3/2 hour T3 = 15/20 = 3/4 hour T = ½ + 3/2 + ¾ = 11/4 hourAverage speed = $100 \over {11\over 4}$ = 36 ($4\over 11$) km/hr
6 .
 Answer : Option D Explanation : only (b) and (c)
7 .
 Answer : Option C Explanation : Req.percent = $16 \over 80$ x 100 = 20 %
8 .
 Answer : Option C Explanation : Central angle = $1000 \over 2500$ x 360 = 144°
9 .
 Answer : Option D Explanation : $400 \over 2500$ x 100 = 16 %
10 .
 Answer : Option C Explanation : $1500 \over 2500$ x 100 = 60 %
