Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 4
Danial Latifi vs Union Of India - When the constitutional validity of the MWPRDA, 1986 was challenged on the grounds that the law was discriminatory and violative of the right to equality guaranteed under Article 14 of the Indian Constitution as it deprived Muslim women of maintenance benefits equivalent to those provided to other women under Section 125 of Criminal Procedure Code, 1973. Further, it was argued that the law would leave Muslim women destitute and thus was violative of the right to life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. The Supreme Court, on a creative interpretation of the MWPRDA, 1986, upheld its constitutionality. It held that a Muslim husband is liable to make reasonable and fair provisions for the future of his divorced wife extending beyond the iddat period. The Court based this interpretation on the word “provision” in the MWPRDA, 1986, indicating that “at the time of divorce the Muslim husband is required to contemplate the future needs [of his wife] and make preparatory arrangements in advance for meeting those needs”.

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 16

Given that 100.48 = x, 100.70 = y and xz = y2, then the value of z is close to?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 16
Given,

100.48 = x

100.70 = y

and xz = y2

∴(100.48)z = (100.70)2

⇒100.48z = 101.40

If ax = ay, if base equal power are equal: (x = y)

∴ 0.48z = 1.40

⇒ z = 140/48

⇒ z = 35/12

⇒ z = 2.9

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 17

The length, breadth, and height of a room in the shape of a cuboid are increased by 10%,20% and 50% respectively. Find the percentage change in the volume of the cuboid.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 17

Let each side of the czuboid be 10 units initially.

Initial volume of the cuboid = length × breadth × height

= 10×10×10

= 1000 cubic unit

After increment dimensions become,

Length = (10 + 10% of 10)

= 11 unit

Breadth = (10 + 20% of 10)

= 12 unit

Height = (10 + 50% of 10)

= 15 unit

Now, present volume = 11 × 12 × 15

= 1980 cubic unit

Increase in volume = 1980−1000

= 980 cubic unit

% Increase in volume = 980/1000 × 100

= 98%

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 18

If a/b = 2/3 and b/c = 4/5, then the ratio a+b/b+c equal to:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 18

a/b = 2/3 and b/c = 4/5

or c/b = 5/4

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 19

The population of a city is 35000. On an increase of 6% in the number of men and an increase of 4% in the number of women, the population would become 36760. What was the number of women initially?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 19
Let number of men in the population be x

Number of women = (35000−x)

Increase in the number of men = 6% of x

= 6x/100

Increase in the number of women = (35000−x) × 4/100

Increase in whole population = 36760 − 35000

= 1760

Now,

6x/100 + [(35000−x) × 4/100] = 1760

⇒ [(6x−4x) + 35000 × 4/100] = 1760

⇒ 2x + 35000 × 4 = 1760 × 100

⇒ 2x = 176000 − 35000 × 4

⇒ x = 18000

Number of men = 18000

Number of women = 35000 − 18000

= 17000

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 20

A father left a will of Rs. 16400 for his two sons aged 17 and 18 years. They must get an equal amount when they are 20 years, at 5% compound interest. Find the present share of the younger son.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 20
Let the share of the younger and elder sons be Rs. x and Rs. (16400−x)

Then, amount of Rs. x after 3 years = Amount of Rs. (16400−x) after 2 years

⇒ x = Rs. 8000

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 21

A sum of Rs. 8000 will amount to Rs. 8820 in 2 years if the interest is calculated every year. The rate of compound interest is:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 21
Principal = Rs. 8000

Amount = Rs. 8820

Let Rate = R

Time = 2 years

By using formula,

Taking square root of both sides,

⇒ 21/20 = (1+R/100)

⇒ R = 5%

Hence, the correct option is (D).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 22

Simplify:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 22
According to the question,

As we know that,

a3+b3+c3−3abc = (a+b+c) (a2+b2+c2−ab−bc−ca)

= 0.9 + 0.2 + 0.3

= 1.4

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 23

Find the average increase rate, if the increase in the population in the first year is 30% and that in the second year is 40%.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 23
Let 100 be the original population.

First year's population increased = 30%

So, Population after first year = (100 + 30% of 100)

= 130

Population in second year increases by 40%,

Then Population = (130 + 40% of 130)

= 182

The final population became 182 which was originally at 100.

It means there is 82% increment in the population in 2 years

So, Average increment = 82/2

= 41%

Hence, the correct option is (A).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 24

A tank can be filled with water by two pipes A and B together in 36 minutes. If pipe B was stopped after 30 minutes, the tank is filled in 40 minutes. The pipe B can alone fill the tank in:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 24
Let the pipes fill the tank in x minutes.

Part of tank filled by pipes A and B in one minute = 1/36

Part of the tank filled by pipe A in 1 minute = 1/36 − 1/x

According to the question,

So, x = 90 minutes.

Hence, the correct option is (D).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 25

The marked price of a shirt and trousers are in the ratio 1:2. The shopkeeper gives a 40% discount on the shirt. If the total discount in the set of the shirt and trousers is 30%, the discount offered on the trousers is:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 25
Let the price of shirt and trouser be Rs. 100 and Rs. 200 respectively.

Then, price of set of shirt and trouser = Rs. 300

After giving 30% discount on the set,

Selling Price = 300 - 30% of 300

= 210

Total Discount on Set = 90

And Discount on shirt is 20% alone,

SP of shirt alone = 100 - 40% of 100

= 60

Rs. 40 is the discount on a shirt then Rs. 50 must be the discount on the trouser.

So, discount on trouser = 50×100/200

= 25%

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 26

Simplify:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 26
According to the question,

⇒ 4/2

⇒ 2

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 27

The salaries A, B, C are in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. If the increments of 15%, 10%, and 20% are allowed respectively in their salaries, then what will be the new ratio of their salaries?

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 27
Let A = 2k, B = 3k and C = 5k.

A's new salary = 115/100 of 2k

= 23 : 33 : 60

Hence, the correct option is (C).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 28

Find the least number which will leave the remainder 5 when divided by 8, 12, 16, and 20.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 28
We have to find the Least number, therefore we find out the LCM of 8, 12, 16 and 20.

⇒ 8 = 2 × 2 × 2;

⇒ 12 = 2 × 2 × 3;

⇒ 16 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2;

⇒ 20 = 2 × 2 × 5;

LCM = 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 3 × 5 = 240;

This is the least number which is exactly divisible by 8, 12, 16 and 20.

Thus,

Required number which leaves remainder 5 is,

⇒ 240 + 5 = 245

Hence, the correct option is (B).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 29

The product of two numbers is 2028 and their H.C.F. is 13. The number of such pairs is:

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 29
Explanation

Let the numbers 13a and 13b.

Then, 13a × 13b = 2028

⇒ ab = 12

Now, the co-primes with product 12 are (1, 12) and (3, 4).

Two integers a and b are said to be coprime or relatively prime if they have no common positive factor other than 1 or, equivalently, if their greatest common divisor is 1.

So, the required numbers are (13 × 1, 13 × 12) and (13 × 3, 13 × 4).

Clearly, there are 2 such pairs.

Hence, the correct option is (B).

Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 30

Find the remainder when 2256 is divided by 17.

Detailed Solution for Practice Test for SLAT - 4 - Question 30
Given,

= 2256/17

We can write it as: (24)64

=1664/17

Individually, when 16 is divided by 17, gives a negative remainder of −1.

Required remainder,

(−1)64 = 1

Hence, the correct option is (A).
