1. 4 days
2. 5 days
3. 6 days
4. 7 days

Answer: (B) 5 days

1-day work of (A + B) = $\frac{1}{10} + \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{6}$. Work in 4 days = $\frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}$. Remaining work = $1 - \frac{2}{3} = \frac{1}{3}$. Time taken by B = $\frac{1/3}{1/15} = 5\text{ days}$.

1. ₹820
2. ₹850
3. ₹880

2. 18 seconds
3. 20 seconds
4. 24 seconds

Answer: (C) 20 seconds

Speed = $54 \times \frac{5}{18} = 15\text{ m/s}$. Total distance = $200 + 100 = 300\text{ m}$. Time = $\frac{300}{15} = 20\text{ seconds}$.

1. 1 year
2. 2 years
3. 3 years
4. 4 years

Answer: (B) 2 years

$\frac{A}{P} = \frac{6050}{5000} = \frac{121}{100} = \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right)^n \Rightarrow \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{11}{10}\right)^n \Rightarrow n = 2\text{ years}$.

1. x > y
2. x < y
3. x ≤ y
4. x ≥ y

Answer: (C) x ≤ y

For $x$: $(x-3)(x-4) = 0 \Rightarrow x = 3, 4$. For $y$: $(y-4)(y-5) = 0 \Rightarrow y = 4, 5$. Comparing: $3 < 4, 3 < 5, 4 = 4, 4 < 5$. So $x \le y$.
