Solutions
SECTION I: LOGICAL REASONING

1. C
1 star = 4 balls
2 stars = 8 balls
Also, 1 block = 2 stars = 8 balls

2. A
The pattern here is cutting the shapes horizontally and vertically to get the 4
distinct parts.

Hence, the missing shape is

3. B
Practice days = 3
So, he practices on 14th, 15th and 16th December.
Then he takes a break for 5 days.
So, he takes a break on 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th and 21st.

Then he practices for 1 week = 7 days

So, he practices from 22nd to 28th.
Hence, his practice finishes on 28th December.

4. D
In FLOWER, the letters are reversed to REWOLF.
So, 82674 is 47628.

5. C

7. D
There are 16 triangles and 5 squares in the given figure.
Triangles:

10 in this figure
The small triangles in the figure are

5 triangles here.

The large triangles are

another 5 triangles.

2 triangles in the square face.

4 triangles in the last figure.
So, in all there are 16 triangles.

The eyes in the first figure (2 squares) and the third figure (2 squares) are
squares.
Also, the face of the third figure is a square.
So, in all, there are 5 squares.

8. D
Each block here has a sum of 8.
Hence, the missing block is

9. C
Here, the number of sides increases by 1 and the number of circles increases
by 1.
So, the missing figure is

10. B
The figure in which the given shape is embedded is

SECTION II: MATHEMATICAL REASONING

11. C
56 is the number.
5 + 6 = 11
5 6 = 30
Hence, Sanchi is thinking of the number 56.

12. B
Number of students who like basket ball = 1 4 = 4
Number of students who like chess = 6 4 = 24
Total = 4 + 24 = 28
Hence, 28 students like basketball and chess.

13. A
The minute hand of the clock is on 1 which means it is 5 minutes past 12
oclock.

14. D
The height of the kid shown here is 100 cm.
100 cm = (140 40) cm

15.C
Length of 1 toy car = (6 2) cm = 4 cm
Length of 3 toy cars = 3 4 = 12 cm
Hence, the length is 12 cm.

17. C
1 basket costs `85
2 baskets cost 85 2 = `170
Hence, the cost of 2 baskets is

18. D
Total weight shown on the scale = 550 g
Weight of the block = 200 g
Weight of water melon = (550 200) g = 350 g
Hence, the weight of the water melon is 350 g.

19. B
The numbers seen here are 70, 7, 78 and 80.
The sum of the numbers is 70 + 7 + 78 + 80 = 235.

20. C
The numbers are
P = 4 tens + 19 tens + 22 ones = 40 + 190 + 22 = 252
Q = 50 ones + 180 ones + 20 tens = 50 + 180 + 200 = 430
R = 7 tens + 0 ones + 1 tens = 70 + 0 + 10 = 80
S = 9 ones + 8 tens + 2 ones = 9 + 80 + 2 = 91
430 > 252 > 91 > 80
So, Q > P > S > R

SECTION III: EVERYDAY MATHEMATICS

21. C
Girls in the class = 28
Boys in the class = 36
Total students in the class = 28 + 36 = 64

22. B
Total animals on the farm = 200
Number of sheep = 61
Number of cows = 32
Number of horses = 200 (61 + 32) = 200 93 = 107
Hence, there are 107 horses on the farm.

23. A
The time shown in the clock is 6:45 P.M.
She waits for 15 minutes, i.e. she waits till 7 P.M.
She reaches home at 8 P.M.
Time taken = 8 7 = 1 hour.
Hence, her bus journey is 1 hour long.

24. B
Total weight of rice = 35 kg
Weight of each bag = 7 kg
Number of bags = 35 7 = 5
5
7 35
35
0
Hence, there are 5 bags of rice.

25. C
Length of Rope P = 127 m
Length of Rope Q = 130 m
Total length = 127 + 130 = 257 m

26. B
Number of sweets in 1 jar = 12
Number of sweets in 3 jars = 12 3 = 36
Hence, there are 36 sweets.

27. D
Distance cycled on 1st day = 73 km
Distance cycled on 2nd day = 31 km
Difference = (73 31) km = 42 km
73
31
42
Hence, the man cycled 42 km more on the 1st day.

104
She is left with `104.

29. A
Marbles in the box = 136
Marbles Vikas put in = 26
Total marbles = 136 + 26 = 162
Hence, there are 162 marbles in the box.

30. B
The time shown is 4:30.
So, Armaan starts his homework at 4:30 and finishes it after 1 hour 45
minutes.
H M
4 : 30
1 : 45
5 : 75
75 min = 60 min + 15 min
60 min = 1 hour
So, it is 5 + 1 = 6 hours and 15 min
So, it is 6:15 by the time Armaan completes his homework.

SECTION IV: ACHIEVERS SECTION

31. B

32. B
Cost of 4 apples = 4 20 = `80
Cost of 2 mangoes = 2 10 = `20
Cost of 5 tomatoes = 5 8 = `40
Total cost = `(80 + 20 + 40) = `140
She will have to pay `140.

33. C
15 tens = 150
15 tens more than 68 ones = 150 + 68 ones = 218
So, 15 tens more than 68 ones is not equal to three hundred and eighteen.

34. A

35. C
Weight of 1 brinjal and 1 orange = 200 g
Weight of 2 brinjals and 2 oranges = 2 200 = 400 g
Weight of 1 pineapple = weight of 2 brinjals and 2 oranges = 400 g
Weight of 2 pineapples = 2 400 = 800 g
Hence, the weight of 2 pineapples is 800 g.
