CLAT Maths Questions with Solutions

Let's understand the concept better by solving CLAT Maths questions with solutions. But first, let's look at last previous year's Quantitative Techniques questions with detailed solutions.

Passage 1 (CLAT 2024)

Direction

A survey was conducted about the population of a particular region having working population of three lacs and information was collected about self-employed persons, capital wage workers, regular salaries employees of both urban and rural areas of the region. Self-employment is a key source of income in both rural and urban arses but it is more prevalent in rural areas (56% of the rural population) than in urban areas (40% of the urban population). Rural population was 48% of the total population. Regular salaried workers in urban areas were 48% of the urban population whereas in rural areas, regular salaried workers constituted 12% of the rural population. During he survey, the casual wage workers: were found to be more common in rural areas than in urban areas. Casual wage workers in rural areas were 32% of the rural population whereas it was 12% of the urban population. in urban areas.

Based on the above information, answer the following question.

Question:- If urban population of the region increased from 52% to 56% and percertage of self employed in urban region remains same, then number of self employed people in urban areas are:

A. 66840

B. 68640

C. 62700

D. 67200

Correct Answer - Option D

Explanation

Rural areas population = 48% of 300000 = 144000
Urban population = 52% of 300000 = 156000
Self-employed in rural areas = 56% of 144000 = 80640
Self -employed in urban areas = 40% of 156000 = 62400
Regular salaried in urban areas = 48% of 156000 = 74880
Regular salaried in rural areas = 12% of 144000 = 17280
Casual wage workers in rural areas = 32% of 144000 = 46080

Passage 3

Hotel Aamantran serves only "Thali", having full meals. The price of a Thali is Rs.320. On an average 1500 Thalls are served in a day. The daily expenses of the hotel on raw materials such as rice, dal, oil, vegetables and other ingredients is in the ratio 3:5:6:4:7 respectively. The hotel makes a profit of 60% from this Thall business

1. What is the total expense per day of the hotel on oil and other ingredients only?

(a) Rs. 1,38,000

(b) Rs. 1,56,000

(c) Rs. 1,63,000

(d) Rs. 1,44,000

Correct answer - Option ( b)

SP of a Thali = Rs.320; Profit = 60%; CP = 1.6

= Rs.200

Total daily expense = 1500 x 200 = Rs. 3,00,000

The portion of the expenses spent on oil and other ingredients

=6+7/25= 13/25

Hence, the amount spent on oil and other ingredients = 25 * 300000

=Rs. 1,56,000.

2. On Raksha Bandhan day, the hotel owner increases the price of the Thali to Rs.380 and he adds a special sweet to the existing menu. If the expense per plate on the sweet is Rs.50 and the sale of thalis increases by 30%, then what is the profit made on that day?

(a) Rs.2,53,500

(b) Rs.1,85,300

(c) Rs.2.15,000

(d) Rs.2,05,500

Correct answer - Option a )

Old CP = 320/1.6=200

New CP = 200 + 50 = Rs.250

New SP = Rs.380

Profit per thali 380-250 = Rs.130

Number of thalis after 30% increase in sales = 1500 x 1.3

Hence, total profit made = 1500 x 1.3 x 130= Rs.2,53,500.

3. If the hotel owner got a 25% discount on his weekly purchase of rice, then find the increase in profit during the week.

(a) Rs.66,000

(b) Rs.54,000

(c) Rs.72.000

(d)Rs. 63,0000

Correct answer - Option (d)

Given that rice, dal, oil, vegetables and other ingredients are in the ratio 35: 6:4: 7 respectively. Also, SP = Rs.320; Profit

= 60%; CP =320/1.6 = Rs.200.

So, part of expense formed by rice = 3/25* 200 = Rs.24

4. Out of the total profit in June, the hotel owner pays 40% as wages to the workers and 35% as rent out of the remaining amount he puts aside 40% for upcoming renovation work, then what is the remaining amount of the profit with the owner?

(a) Rs.8,30.000

(b) Rs.8.20,000

(c) Rs.8.10,000

(d) Rs 8,40.000

Correct answer - Option c) SP = Rs.320; Profit = 60%; CP =3/25* 200 = Rs.24

Total monthly profit = 30 x 1500 × 120 = Rs.54,00,000

Amount left after wages and rent are paid = 0.25 x 54,00,000 = Rs. 13,50,000

Amount put aside for renovation = 0.4 × 13,50,000 = Rs.5,40,000

Hence, the remaining amount of the profit with the owner = 13,50,000 - 5,40,000 = Rs.8,10,000.

Passage 4

In a class, 8 top students - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H-receive their scores in the Mathematics test. The test was out of 100 marks.

Some pairwise averages of these students is as follows:

1. (A, B, C, D, E) = 75

2. (D, E, F, G, H)=82

3. (A, C, E, F, H) = 82.8

Also, the average of students D and G with lowest and largest scores respectively, is 77.5. E's score is 5% less than B's score. A's score is 15 more than the lowest score. H's score is 1 less than the largest score. If 7 is added to the total score of these 8 students then their average will be 82.

1. What is B's score?

(a) 84

(b) 80

(c) 76

(d) 85

2. If the score of a student J is added, then the average of these 9 students will be an integral value. Which of the following cannot be the score of J?

(a) 91

(b) 89

(c) 80

(d) 71

3. If students with top 4 scores are in Group I of a project and students with lowest 4 scores are in Group II, then what is the absolute difference of average scores of Group I and Group II?

(a) 15.25

(b) 16.75

(c) 17.15

(d) 15.85

4. Out of these 8 students, which of the following pair of student's scores, if not considered, will give the average score of the remaining students as 79?

(a) Hand B

(b) A and G

(c) C and H

(d) B and G

Answers for all the questions for Passage 3 are given below:

Explanation:

(A+ B+ C+ D+ E+ F+ G+ H+ 7)/8=82………i

A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H=649…….ii

A+B+C+D+E=375 F+G+H=274……iii

D+E+F+G+H=410 A+B+C=239…..iv

A +C+ +E+ F+ H) = 414……v

D+G=155 E+F+H=255-A+C=159⇒ B+D+E=216

D and G have the lowest and largest scores respectively. A+B+C+D+E+D+E+F+G+H=375+ 410

[From (ii) and (iii)] A+C+D+E+F+G+H=414+155 = 569 [From (iv) to (v)]

B=649-569 = 80

E's score = 80 x 95/100= 76

D=216-80-76 = 60, and this is the lowest score.

G = 95, this is the highest score.

A's score 60+ 15 = 75

C' score=159-75=84

F's score = 85 and H's score = 94.

Answers with correct option and explanation:

1. b

From the explanation, B's score is 80.

2. a

From the explanation,Total score of all students = 649

J's score has to be such that 649+ x should be divisible by 9.

649+ 89=738 and 738/9 = 82

Same is true for 80 and 71 .

But 649 +91=740 and =740/9= 82.22

Hence, the score of J cannot be 91.

3. b

From the explanation,Average of top 4 scores =95 +94 + 85+ 84/4=89.5

Average of lowest 4 scores =80+76+75+ 60/4= = 72.75

Hence, required difference = 16.75.

4. d

From the explanation,Current sum total of scores of 8 students = 649

Sum total score of 6 students with average 79 = 474

Difference 175 Of the given pairs, B and G satisfy the criterion.

Hence, sum of scores of B and G = 80+ 95 = 175
