Solutions:

1. 66 cubic cm = 66 * 10 * 10 * 10 cubic mm.

66 * 10 * 10 * 10 = 22/7 * 0.5 * 0.5 * L

L = 84 meters. Option a.

2. 220 m in 6 seconds. 2.2 km in 1 minute. 132 km per hour. So, the other train is moving at 82 km/hr. Option d.

3. Option b.

4. 10x^2 to 7x^2. Option d.

5. Option b.

6. 36 kmph is 10 m/s. So, length of the train is 100 m and so, length of the platform is also 100 m. Option b.

7. Speed becomes 4/5th, time taken becomes 5/4th. So, increase by 1/4th. So, original time was 40 minutes. Option b.

8. 4/9*81 = 36 km. Option b.

9. Option b.

10. 24m + 18w = 20m + 24w

2m = 3w. Total work is 36m or 54w. Now, we have 6.5w units happening per day. So, 54/6.5 = 8.3. Option c.

11. Option d. The dimensions could be anything even with the same area.

12. Salary of A be 3x and that of B be 4x. Expenditure of A be 4y and that of B be 5y.

From statement a, 5y = 75/100*3x. So, we get a relationship between x and y and so, this statement is sufficient.

Statement b is not really relevant as it does not give us the amount that A and B have spent or saved.

Option a.

13. Let the total height be x and total number of people be n. So, using statement a, we get (x – 56)/(n – 1) = x/n – 1.

Using statement b, we get (x – 42)/(n – 1) = x/n + 1

So, we have two equations and two variables and so, it can be solved using both the statements. Option c.

14. Option b.

15. Let July sales be 60, September sales are 40, November sales are 42. So, the sales fell by 30%. Option c.
