- (3) 44 kg 250 gm
- (4) 44 kg 750 gm

- (1) 890990
- (2) 900990
- (3) 901000

Why: Denominators are same, so the larger numerator gives the larger fraction. Descending order: 9/4, 7/4, 5/4, 3/4, 1/4. First = 9/4, middle = 5/4. Sum = 14/4 = 7/2.
29.Shekhar purchased half kg of tomato at the rate ₹ 45 per kg, one and half kg of onion at rate ₹ 30 per kg, one and quarter kg of lady’s finger at rate ₹ 56 per kg. How much did he spend in the vegetable market?

Instructions for Question No. 35 and 36. Answer the following questions on the basis of pictographical information given below. Pictograph indicates number of birds in the forest.
| Name of Birds | Number of Birds |
|---|---|
| Parrot | △ △ △ △ △ △ △ |
| Peacock | △ △ △ △ |
| Eagle | △ △ △ △ △ △ |
| Tailor Bird | △ △ △ |
35.By how much is the number of parrots more than the number of tailor birds?
- (1) 4
- (2) 12
- (3) 16
- (4) 28
Why: Parrots = 7 × 4 = 28. Tailor birds = 3 × 4 = 12. Difference = 28 − 12 = 16.

- (1) 4%
- (2) 20%
- (3) 15%
- (4) 30%
Why: Total pictures = 7 + 4 + 6 + 3 = 20. Peacock pictures = 4. 4 out of 20 = 4/20 = 20/100 = 20%.
37.The perimeter of the rectangle is 38 cm and length is 12 cm. What is the area of that rectangle?
- (1) 456 sq. cm.
- (2) 100 sq. cm.
- (3) 312 sq. cm.
- (4) 84 sq. cm.
Why: Length + breadth = 38 ÷ 2 = 19 cm. Breadth = 19 − 12 = 7 cm. Area = 12 × 7 = 84 sq. cm.
38.If M = 4, N = 2 then M × N + M ÷ N = ?
- (1) 12
- (2) 10
- (3) 6
- (4) 8
Why: Do × and ÷ first. 4 × 2 = 8 and 4 ÷ 2 = 2. Then 8 + 2 = 10.
39.John had 2 ream papers out of which he used 40 dozen papers for printing and spoiled 2 quires of papers while printing. How many papers are left?
- (1) 38 dozen
- (2) 39 dozen
- (3) 20 quires
- (4) 3 gross
Why: 1 quire = 24 papers. 1 ream = 20 quires = 480 papers. 2 reams = 960. Used 40 dozen = 480. Spoiled 2 quires = 48. Left = 960 − 480 − 48 = 432. 1 gross = 144, so 432 = 3 gross.
40.40 tens × 10 tens = ?
- (1) 400 tens
- (2) 4000 tens
- (3) 400 thousands
- (4) 40 hundreds
Why: 40 tens = 400 and 10 tens = 100. 400 × 100 = 40000. 40000 = 4000 tens.
41.In the given figure, find the option which represents fraction equivalent to the fraction indicating the shaded portion. 

- (1) 38
- (2) 58
- (3) 13

15 6 8 65 5 = 50
- (1) ×, +, –, ÷
- (2) +, –, ×, ÷
- (3) –, +, ×, ÷
- (4) +, ×, –, ÷
Why: Check option (4): 15 + 6 × 8 − 65 ÷ 5 = 15 + 48 − 13 = 50.
43.Find the number which is half the 5 digit smallest even number formed using digits 6, 3, 0, 7 and 4 only once.
- (1) 1738
- (2) 30476
- (3) 15337
- (4) 15238
Why: The number cannot start with 0, so it starts with 3, then 0. It must end with an even digit. Smallest such number = 30476. Half of 30476 = 15238.
44.Ayush purchased a tractor for Rs. a quarter less to 4 lakh and a thresher for Rs. quarter more than 65000. How much amount did he spend in all?
- (1) Rs. 490250
- (2) Rs. 440250
- (3) Rs. 439175
- (4) Rs. 540250
Why: A quarter less than 4 lakh = 3 lakh 75 thousand = 375000. A quarter more than 65 thousand = 65250. Total = 375000 + 65250 = Rs. 440250.
45.717 – = 251 Find the value of ?
- (1) 1951
- (2) 551
- (3) 517
- (4) 1917
Why: Box = 7/17 − 2/51. Make denominators same: 7/17 = 21/51. 21/51 − 2/51 = 19/51.
46.Saee walks 5 rounds to a square garden of length 112 m everyday. How much distance does she walk everyday?
- (1) 448 m
- (2) 560 m
- (3) 2 km 240 m
- (4) 1 km 792 m
Why: One round = perimeter = 4 × 112 = 448 m. 5 rounds = 448 × 5 = 2240 m = 2 km 240 m.
47.A railway train left Sangli on Monday at 10.20 in the morning and reached Amravati, the next day i.e. Tuesday at 2.15 in the afternoon. How much time did the railway train take to reach Amravati?
- (1) 27 hrs. 55 min.
- (2) 28 hrs. 5 min.
- (3) 3 hrs. 55 min.
- (4) 28 hrs. 55 min.
Why: Monday 10.20 a.m. to Tuesday 10.20 a.m. = 24 hrs. Tuesday 10.20 a.m. to 2.15 p.m. = 3 hrs. 55 min. Total = 27 hrs. 55 min.
48.(P + 4) is a odd number, what is the 7th consecutive even number after (P + 4)?
- (1) P + 11
- (2) P + 18
- (3) P + 17
- (4) P + 10
Why: After an odd number, the first even number is P + 5. Even numbers come after every 2. So the 7th even number = P + 5 + 6 × 2 = P + 17.
49.When a cupboard is sold at ₹ 5650 some loss is occured. Equal amount of profit is gained if the cupboard is sold at ₹ 8350 then, what is the cost price of the cupboard?
- (1) ₹ 7100
- (2) ₹ 7050
- (3) ₹ 6950
- (4) ₹ 7000
Why: Loss and profit are equal, so the cost price is exactly in the middle. Cost price = (5650 + 8350) ÷ 2 = ₹ 7000.
50.How many 500 rupee notes will you get when you give 40 notes of 200 rupees?
- (1) 16
- (2) 18
- (3) 14

51.Which of the following number is not divisible by 17?
- (1) 217
- (2) 272
- (3) 153
- (4) 459
Why: 272 = 17 × 16, 153 = 17 × 9, 459 = 17 × 27. But 17 × 12 = 204 and 17 × 13 = 221. So 217 is not divisible by 17.
52.Shamrao purchased grocery of ₹ 1485 and paid the shopkeeper ₹ 5, ₹ 10, ₹ 50 and ₹ 100 notes in equal number. Total how many notes did he give to the shopkeeper?
- (1) 9
- (2) 28
- (3) 36
- (4) 32
Why: One note of each kind = 5 + 10 + 50 + 100 = ₹ 165. 1485 ÷ 165 = 9. So 9 notes of each kind. Total = 9 × 4 = 36 notes.
53.A number is divided by 25 to get quotient 26 and remainder 2 if the same number is divided by 30 then what is the quotient and remainder respectively?
- (1) 25, 7
- (2) 25, 4
- (3) 21, 22
- (4) 22, 8
Why: Number = 25 × 26 + 2 = 652. 652 ÷ 30: 30 × 21 = 630, remainder 22. So quotient 21, remainder 22.

- (1) less by 6
- (2) more by 6

Why: Divisors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60 = 12. Divisors of 75: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75 = 6. 12 − 6 = 6 more.
58.How many pairs of co-prime numbers are there in the given pairs of numbers.
(15, 51); (16, 61); (21, 22); (17, 19)
(15, 51); (16, 61); (21, 22); (17, 19)
- (1) 3
- (2) 4
- (3) 1
- (4) 2
Why: Co-prime numbers have only 1 as common divisor. 15 and 51 have common divisor 3. The other three pairs are co-prime. So 3 pairs.

- (1) 28
- (2) 0.28
- (3) 0.028
- (4) 0.0028

- (1) 7
- (2) 8
- (3) 6

- (1) 200
- (2) 140
- (3) 250
- (4) 150
Why: 15% of 120 = 18. So 12% of the number = 18. Number = 18 × 100 ÷ 12 = 150.
62.In the adjoining figure, by how much is the number of accute angles more than the number of obtuse angles? 

- (1) 7
- (2) 8
- (3) 6
- (4) 9
Why: 5 rays from one point make 10 angles in all. Only the angle between the first ray and the bottom ray is more than 90°, so 1 obtuse angle. The other 9 are acute. 9 − 1 = 8.
63.How to write three fourth of thirteen thousand in international numerals?
- (1) १२७५०
- (2) 13750
- (3) 12750
- (4) १३७५०
Why: MSCE cancelled this question for English medium in the final answer key, so marks are given to all. The English wording ‘three fourth of thirteen thousand’ would give 9750, which is not an option. The Marathi paper says ‘पावणे तेरा हजार’ = 12750.
64.How to write 76100 in decimal number?
- (1) 7.06
- (2) 7.6
- (3) 6.07
