Ultra Tough SSC CGL Maths Set 10 Solutions



1. Question


English: A number when divided by 296 leaves remainder 75. What remainder will be left when the same number is divided by 37?

Hindi: एक संख्या को 296 से भाग देने पर 75 शेष बचता है। उसी संख्या को 37 से भाग देने पर शेषफल क्या होगा?


Solution:


296 is divisible by 37.


296 = 37 × 8


Number gives remainder 75 when divided by 296.


So number can be written as:


296k + 75


Now divide by 37.


296k is exactly divisible by 37.


So only 75 matters.


75 divided by 37 leaves remainder 1.


Answer: 1

2. Question


English: If 20% of A = 30% of B and B = 40% of C, then A : C equals:

Hindi: यदि A का 20% = B का 30% और B = C का 40% है, तो A : C ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


20% of A = 30% of B


20A = 30B


2A = 3B


A : B = 3 : 2


Also:


B = 40% of C


B = 2/5 C


So:


B : C = 2 : 5


Since A : B = 3 : 2 and B : C = 2 : 5


A : C = 3 : 5


Answer: 3 : 5


Note: Given answer key says 3 : 2, but correct answer is 3 : 5.

3. Question


English: The average of 11 numbers is 48. If the average of first 6 numbers is 42 and that of last 6 numbers is 54, find the middle number.

Hindi: 11 संख्याओं का औसत 48 है। यदि पहली 6 संख्याओं का औसत 42 और अंतिम 6 संख्याओं का औसत 54 है, तो बीच की संख्या ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Sum of 11 numbers:


= 11 × 48


= 528


Sum of first 6 numbers:


= 6 × 42


= 252


Sum of last 6 numbers:


= 6 × 54


= 324


When we add first 6 and last 6, the middle number is counted twice.


So:


252 + 324 = 576


Middle number:


= 576 - 528


= 48


Answer: 48


Note: Given answer key says 60, but correct answer is 48.

4. Question


English: A shopkeeper mixes two varieties of rice costing ₹48/kg and ₹60/kg in the ratio 5:3. Find the cost price of mixture per kg.

Hindi: एक दुकानदार ₹48/किग्रा और ₹60/किग्रा वाले चावल को 5:3 के अनुपात में मिलाता है। मिश्रण का प्रति किग्रा क्रय मूल्य ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Cost of mixture:


= (48 × 5 + 60 × 3) / (5 + 3)


= (240 + 180) / 8


= 420 / 8


= 52.5


Answer: ₹52.5

5. Question


English: A man spends 75% of his income. His income increases by 20% and expenditure by 10%. Find the percentage increase in savings.

Hindi: एक व्यक्ति अपनी आय का 75% खर्च करता है। उसकी आय 20% बढ़ती है और खर्च 10% बढ़ता है। बचत में प्रतिशत वृद्धि ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Let income = 100


Expenditure = 75


Savings = 25


New income after 20% increase:


= 120


New expenditure after 10% increase:


= 75 + 10% of 75


= 75 + 7.5


= 82.5


New savings:


= 120 - 82.5


= 37.5


Increase in savings:


= 37.5 - 25


= 12.5


Percentage increase:


= 12.5 / 25 × 100


= 50%


Answer: 50%

6. Question


English: The population of a town increases by 10% in first year and decreases by 10% in second year. Find the net percentage change.

Hindi: एक नगर की जनसंख्या पहले वर्ष 10% बढ़ती है और दूसरे वर्ष 10% घटती है। कुल प्रतिशत परिवर्तन ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Let population = 100


After 10% increase:


= 110


After 10% decrease:


= 110 × 90/100


= 99


Final population = 99


Original population = 100


Net change = 1 decrease


Answer: 1% decrease

7. Question


English: A train running at 72 km/h crosses a man running at 9 km/h in opposite direction in 8 seconds. Find the length of train.

Hindi: 72 किमी/घंटा की गति से चल रही ट्रेन 9 किमी/घंटा की गति से विपरीत दिशा में दौड़ रहे व्यक्ति को 8 सेकंड में पार करती है। ट्रेन की लंबाई ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Train speed = 72 km/h


Man speed = 9 km/h


Opposite direction relative speed:


= 72 + 9


= 81 km/h


Convert into m/s:


= 81 × 5/18


= 22.5 m/s


Length of train:


= speed × time


= 22.5 × 8


= 180 m


Answer: 180 m

8. Question


English: A sum becomes ₹8820 in 2 years and ₹9261 in 3 years at compound interest. Find the rate percent per annum.

Hindi: एक राशि 2 वर्षों में ₹8820 और 3 वर्षों में ₹9261 हो जाती है। चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज की वार्षिक दर ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Amount after 2 years = ₹8820


Amount after 3 years = ₹9261


One year growth factor:


= 9261 / 8820


= 1.05


So rate:


= 5%


Answer: 5%

9. Question


English: If the simple interest on a sum for 5 years at 8% per annum is ₹2400, find the principal.

Hindi: यदि किसी राशि पर 5 वर्षों के लिए 8% वार्षिक दर से साधारण ब्याज ₹2400 है, तो मूलधन ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Simple interest = P × R × T / 100


2400 = P × 8 × 5 / 100


2400 = 40P / 100


2400 = 0.4P


P = 2400 / 0.4


= 6000


Answer: ₹6000

10. Question


English: The ratio of present ages of A and B is 5:7. After 8 years, the ratio becomes 7:9. Find present age of B.

Hindi: A और B की वर्तमान आयु का अनुपात 5:7 है। 8 वर्ष बाद अनुपात 7:9 हो जाता है। B की वर्तमान आयु ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Let present ages be 5x and 7x.


After 8 years:


(5x + 8) / (7x + 8) = 7/9


9(5x + 8) = 7(7x + 8)


45x + 72 = 49x + 56


16 = 4x


x = 4


Present age of B:


= 7x


= 7 × 4


= 28 years


Answer: 28 years


Note: Given answer key says 35 years, but correct answer is 28 years.

Solution:


Downstream speed = 15 km/h


Upstream speed = 9 km/h


Speed of stream:


= (15 - 9) / 2


= 6 / 2


= 3 km/h


Answer: 3 km/h

12. Question


English: A and B together can do a work in 12 days. B and C together in 15 days. A and C together in 20 days. Find the time taken by A, B and C together.

Hindi: A और B मिलकर कार्य 12 दिनों में, B और C मिलकर 15 दिनों में तथा A और C मिलकर 20 दिनों में करते हैं। A, B और C मिलकर कार्य कितने दिनों में करेंगे?


Solution:


A + B = 1/12


B + C = 1/15


A + C = 1/20


Add all:


2(A + B + C) = 1/12 + 1/15 + 1/20


LCM = 60


= 5/60 + 4/60 + 3/60


= 12/60


= 1/5


So:


A + B + C = 1/10


Therefore, together they complete work in 10 days.


Answer: 10 days

13. Question


English: The perimeter of a rectangle is 84 cm and its diagonal is 29 cm. Find its area.

Hindi: एक आयत का परिमाप 84 सेमी और विकर्ण 29 सेमी है। उसका क्षेत्रफल ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Let length = l and breadth = b.


Perimeter = 84


2(l + b) = 84


l + b = 42


Diagonal = 29


So:


l² + b² = 29²


= 841


Now:


(l + b)² = l² + b² + 2lb


42² = 841 + 2lb


1764 = 841 + 2lb


2lb = 923


lb = 461.5


Answer: 461.5 cm²


Note: Given options do not contain the correct answer. The data seems incorrect.

15. Question


English: If cos θ = 12/13, then find value of tan θ.

Hindi: यदि cos θ = 12/13 है, तो tan θ का मान ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


cos θ = base / hypotenuse


So:


Base = 12

Hypotenuse = 13


Perpendicular:


= 5


tan θ = perpendicular / base


= 5/12


Answer: 5/12


16. Question


English: A dealer gives two successive discounts of 10% and 20%. Find equivalent single discount.

Hindi: एक व्यापारी 10% और 20% की क्रमिक छूट देता है। तुल्य एकल छूट ज्ञात कीजिए।

Let marked price = 100


After 10% discount:


= 90


After 20% discount:


= 90 × 80/100


= 72


Final price = 72


Total discount:


= 100 - 72


= 28


Answer: 28%

Hindi: ₹5000 पर 2 वर्षों के लिए 10% वार्षिक दर से चक्रवृद्धि ब्याज और साधारण ब्याज का अंतर ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Difference between CI and SI for 2 years:


= P × R² / 10000


= 5000 × 10² / 10000


= 5000 × 100 / 10000


= 50


Answer: ₹50

18. Question


English: A sum of money doubles itself in 8 years at simple interest. In how many years will it become three times?

Hindi: एक राशि साधारण ब्याज पर 8 वर्षों में दोगुनी हो जाती है। वह कितने वर्षों में तीन गुनी होगी?


Solution:


At simple interest, money doubles in 8 years.


That means interest equal to principal is earned in 8 years.


To become three times, interest must be 2 times the principal.


So time:


= 8 × 2


= 16 years


Answer: 16 years

19. Question


English: How many numbers between 100 and 1000 are divisible by both 5 and 7?

Hindi: 100 और 1000 के बीच कितनी संख्याएँ 5 और 7 दोनों से विभाज्य हैं?


Solution:


A number divisible by both 5 and 7 must be divisible by 35.


Multiples of 35 between 100 and 1000:


First multiple greater than 100 = 105


Last multiple less than 1000 = 980


Now:


105 = 35 × 3


980 = 35 × 28


Number of multiples:


= 28 - 3 + 1


= 26


Answer: 26

20. Question


English: The average weight of 8 men increases by 2.5 kg when one man of 65 kg is replaced. Find the weight of new man.

Hindi: एक 65 किग्रा व्यक्ति को बदलने पर 8 व्यक्तियों का औसत भार 2.5 किग्रा बढ़ जाता है। नए व्यक्ति का भार ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Average increase = 2.5 kg


Number of men = 8


Total weight increase:


= 2.5 × 8


= 20 kg


New man’s weight:


= old man’s weight + increase


= 65 + 20


= 85 kg


Answer: 85 kg

Hindi: एक दुकानदार वस्तु का अंकित मूल्य क्रय मूल्य से 25% अधिक रखता है और 10% छूट देता है। लाभ प्रतिशत ज्ञात कीजिए।


Solution:


Let cost price = 100


Marked price = 125


After 10% discount:


Selling price = 125 × 90/100


= 112.5


Profit = 112.5 - 100


= 12.5


Answer: 12.5%
