Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 1

Dinesh can do the work in 15 days and Harish can do it in 12 days. Let Subodh can do the work in ‘x’ days. Since the work completes in 4 days, we have

Hence Subodh can do the work in 10 
days. 

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 2

A village has 2000 people out of which 1100 are male and 900 female. The overall literacy rate is 95%, while only 3 % male are not literate. What percentage of the female population is literate?  

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 2

Here Males in the village = 1100. Since 3% males are not literate, so the number of males who are literate = 97% of 1100 = 1067.  

Now overall literacy rate of the village = 95% of 2000 = 1900.  

So, number of literate females = 1900 – 1067 = 833. 

Hence required %age

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 3

A sum of money is sufficient to pay Ravi's wage for 18 days or Ajit's wage for 12 days. The same money is sufficient to pay the wages of both for how many days? 

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 3

Since Ravi’s 18 day’s salary = Ajit’s 12 day’s salary 

⇒ Ravi’s 1 day salary = Ajit’s 2/3 day salary. Let Ajit’s 1 day salary = Rs 99, so Ravi’s 1 day salary = Rs 
66. The total amount = 99 × 12 = Rs 1188. 

The total one day salary of Ajit & Ravi = 99 + 66 = Rs 165.  

Hence the required number of days = 1188/165 = 7.2 days .

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 4

What is the number to be added to 1/4 of 30% of 120 so that it is 50% more than 25% of 40?  

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 4

 Also 25% of 40 = 10 and 50% of 10 = 5. So the required number = 10 + 5 = 15. Hence the number to be added in 9 to make it 15 is 6. 

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 5

10 years ago the average age of all 25 teachers of a school was 45 years. 4 years ago one teacher retired from her post at the age of 58. After one year a new teacher whose age was 54 years was recruited from outside. The present average age of all the teachers is: 

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 5

Total age of 25 teachers 10 years ago = 45 × 25 = 1125 years.

As one teacher was retired 4 years ago, total age of all teachers 4 years ago  = 1125 + 150 – 58 = 1217 years.

After one year, one more teacher was added with age 54 years, so the total age of all teachers 3 years ago = 1217 + 24 + 54 = 1295 years.

Now the present age of all teachers = 1295 + 75 = 1370 years. 

Hence average age of all teachers =   

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 6

X can complete a task in 15 days and Y can complete the same task in 20 days. X started the task alone and after 5 days Y joins X. After working together for three days, X had to leave the work. How long does it take for Y to complete the remaining work? 

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 6

Let the total work is 60 units. X can complete the work 15 days, so he can do 4 units in one day. Similarly Y can do 3 units in one day. Now in the first 5 days, X will do 5 × 4 = 20 units and in next three days x and Y will work 7 × 3 = 21 units.

The total work done till now is 20 + 21 = 41 units. The remaining work is 19 units, which will be done by Y alone and he will take 19/3 = 6.3 days .

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 11

A truck carrying goods has travelled for 3 days. The 1st day it travelled for 12 hours at an average speed of 40 km/hour, the 2nd day it travelled for 10 hours at an average speed of 50 km/hour, the third day it completed 360 kilometres travelling for 8 hours. The average speed of the truck in km/hour for all the three days is: 

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 11

The total distance covered by the truck in three days = 12 × 40 + 10 × 50 + 360  = 480 + 500 +360 = 1340. 
 The total time it travelled in three days = 12 + 10 + 8 = 30 hours. 

So the average speed

The H.C.F of two numbers is 8 and their L.C.M is 96. If one of the numbers is 32, then the other is  

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 12

Let the second number is x. We know that L.C.F. × H.C.F = Product of numbers. ⇒ 8 × 96 = 32 × x ⇒ x = 24.

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 13

The ratio between present age of A and B is 3:4. The present age of B is 10 years more than the age of A 5 years ago. Find out the present age of B.

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 13

Let the ages of A and B are 3x and 4x. Acc. to the question we have, 4x = 3x – 5 + 10 ⇒ x = 5. So the age of B = 4 × 5 = 20 years. 

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 14

The circumference of the front wheels of a vehicle is 3.5 metres, and that of the back wheels is 3.0 metres. If the vehicle is moving at a speed of 54 km/hr, the shortest time in which both the wheels will make a whole number of turns is

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 14

The speed of the vehicle = 54 km/hr or 15 m/sec. The circumference of front wheel is 3.5 meters and that of the back wheel is 3 meters. In order to make a whole number of turns, the vehicle should move = LCM (3.5, 3) = 21m. Time taken by the vehicle to move 21 meters is 21/15 = 1.4 seconds.

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 16

The length of a rectangular plot is 15 metres more than its breadth. If the cost of fencing the plot is Rs. 2700 at the rate of Rs. 30 per metre, what is the length of the plot in metres?  

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 16

The cost of fencing is Rs 2700 at the rate of Rs 30/m. So the perimeter of the plot is 2700/30 = 90m. Let breadth of plot is x, then length = x + 15.

Perimeter of plot = 90 ⇒ 2( x+ 15 +x) = 90 ⇒ 2x + 15 = 45 ⇒ x = 15. So the length = 15 + 15 = 30 m.  

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 17

In a class, 70% of the students opted for History, 45% of the students opted for Geography, and 20 % opted for neither History nor Geography. What percentage of the class opted for both the subjects?  

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 17

Let the total number of students is 100. As 20 % opted for neither History nor Geography, so the total students who opted at least one of the subjects is 80.

We have n(H) = 70, n(G) = 45, n(H∪G) = 80

Now n(H∪G) = n(H) + n(G) - n(H∩G)

⇒ 80 = 70 + 45 - n(H∩G)

⇒ n(H∩G) = 35.

Hence 35% of the class opted for both the subjects.

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 22

Arvind and Mohan are 20 km apart. If they travel in opposite directions, they meet each other after half an hour. If they travel in the same direction, they meet after 2 hours. If Arvind travels faster than Mohan, his speed is  

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 22

Let the speed of Arvind is x km/hr and speed of Mohan is y km/hr. When they travel in opposite direction  

& when they travel in same direction, we have  (x-y) × 2 = 20

⇒ x-y =10 ...................(2)

Adding 1 & 2 we get 2x = 50

⇒ x = 25 km/hr

∴ Speed of Arvind is 25 km/hr

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 27

The total amount paid by Amar, Akbar & Anthony = 26.85 + 42.75 + 53 = Rs 122.6

Since they had decided to pay the bill in 3:4:5, their actual payments should have been 

Since Amar paid Rs., 3.8 less than what he should pay, so he will give 42.75 – 40.81 = Rs 1.95. to Akbar & 53 – 51 = Rs 2. to Anthony.

Hence 3rd option is answer. 

SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 28

Inspired by the 'Golden quadrilateral project', the UP Government recently accomplished a diamond triangular project. Under this project the State Government laid down 6 lane roads connecting three cities Ayodhya, Banaras and Chitrakoot, which are equally separated from each other i.e. in terms of geometry they form   an equilateral triangle. Angad and Bajrang start simultaneously from Ayodhya and Banaras respectively, towards Chitrakoot. When Angad covers 100 kms, Bajrang covers such a distance that the distance between Angad and Bajrang makes 90° angle with the road joining Banaras to Chitrakoot. When Bajrang reaches Chitrakoot, Angad is still 150 km away from Chitrakoot.  

What is the distance between Ayodhya and Chitrakoot? 

Detailed Solution for SNAP Past Year Papers - 2013 - Question 28


Let distance between Ayodhya and Chitrakoot = xkm
Let distance covered by Bajrang when Angad covered 100km = y = km
In ΔSTR Right Angled at T & Angle TSR = 300

As we know that speed & Distance. Hence distance covered by Angad & Bajrang is & Speed and their speed is constant hence. 

x2 – 250x – 15000 = 0
(x – 300) (x + 50) = 0

Hence Distance of chitrakoot & Ayodhya = x = 300km.
