Solutions for Above Reasoning Aptitude MCQs for NTA UGC NET, HTET and CTET

1.  Option A

Let the sum invested in scheme A be Rs. x and that in scheme B be Rs. (13900 ⎯ x)

Then, [ x  × 14  × 2  / 100] ÷ [{(13,900 – x) × 11  × 2 } / 100] = 3508

28x ⎯ 22x = 350800 ⎯ (13900 ×  22)

6x = 45000

 

x = 7500

So, sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. (13900 ⎯ 7500) = Rs.6400

2. Option B

Time = [100 × 81 / 450 × 4.5  ] years = 4 years

3.  Option D

S.I. = Rs. (15500 ⎯ 12500) = Rs.3000

Rate = [ 100 × 3000 / 12500 × 4 ]% = 6%

4.  Option B

Let the sum be Rs.100. Then,

S.I. for first 6 months = Rs. [100 × 10 × 1  / 100 × 2] = Rs.5

S.I. for last 6 months = Rs. [105 × 10 × 1  / 100 × 2] = Rs.5.25

So, amount at the end of 1 year = Rs. (100 + 5 + 5.25) = Rs.110.25

So, effective rate = (110.25 ⎯ 100) = 10.25%

5.  Option D

Let the rate be R% p.a.

Then, [ 500 × R × 2  / 100 ] + [300 × R × 4  / 100] = 2200

100R + 120R = 2200

R = [2200  / 220] = 10

So, rate = 10%

6.  Option C

Principal = Rs. [ 100 × 5400  / 12 × 3] = Rs.15000

 

7.  Option C

Let the principal be P and rate of interest be R%.

So, required ratio = [P × R × 6 / 100] / [P × R × 9 / 100]   = 6PR / 9PR   = 6 / 9 = 2 : 3

8.  Option A

Gain in 2 years = Rs. [(5000 × 25 / 4 × 2 / 100  ) ⎯ (5000 × 4 × 2 / 100 )]

= Rs. (625 ⎯ 400)

= Rs.225

So, gain in 1 year = Rs. [225  / 2] = Rs.112.50

9.  Option E

The difference in C.I. and S.I. for 2 years – Rs. (696.30 ⎯ 660) = Rs.36.30

S.I. for one year = Rs.330

10.  Option A

Let the sum invested in Scheme A be Rs. x and that in Scheme B be Rs. (13900 ⎯ x)

Then, [x × 14 × 2  / 100 ] + [(13,900 – x) × 11 × 2  / 100] = Rs.3508

28x ⎯ 22x = 350800 ⎯ (13900 × 22 )

6x = 45000

x = 7500

So, sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. (13900 ⎯ 7500) = Rs.6400

11.  Option B

S.I. = Rs. [2600 × 20 / 3 × 1 / 100 × T] = Rs.[  520 / 3 × T]

Which is an exact number of rupees when T = 3

12.  Option B

Let the sum invested at 9% be Rs. x and that invested at 11% be Rs. (100000 ⎯ x)

Then, [x × 9 × 1  / 100  ]  + [ (100000 – x) × 11× 1 / 100  ] = [100000 × 39 / 4 × 1 / 100  ]

9x + 1100000 – 11x / 100 =  39000 / 4 = 9750

2x = (1100000 ⎯ 975000) = 125000

x = 62500

Sum invested at 9% = Rs.62500

Sum invested at 11% = Rs. (100000 ⎯ 62500) = Rs.37500

13.  Option C

Let the sum be Rs. x. Then, [x × 15 / 2   × 5 / 4 × 1 / 100  ] ⎯ [x × 25 / 2 × 2 / 3   × 1 / 100  ]

=   32.50

75x / 8  ⎯ 25x / 3  = 3250

25x = (3250 × 24)

x = [3250 × 24 / 25] = 3120

14.  Option B

Let sum = x. Then, S.I. = 2x, Time = 15 (1/2) years =  31 / 2 years

So, rate = [ 100 × 2x / x  × (31/2)]% = 400 / 31%

Now, sum = x, S.I. = x, Rate = 400 / 31%

So, time = 100 × x / x  × (400/31) = 31 / 4  years = 7 years 9 months

15.  Option B

Let rate = R% and time = R years

Then, [1200 × R  × R / 100] = 432

12 r² = 432

R² = 36

R = 6
