             1. In 1978, a kg of paper was sold at Rs25/-. I f the paper rate
             increases at 1.5% more than inflation rate which is of 6.5%  a year
             , then what wil be the cost of a kg of paper after 2 years?
             a)29.12 (b) 29.72 (c) 30.12 (d) 32.65 (e) none of these

             2. In A,B,C are having some marbles with each of them. A has giben
             B and C the same number of marbles they already have to each of them.
             then, B gave C and A the same no. of marbles they have, then C gave
             A and B the same no. of marbles they have. At the 
             end A,B,and C have equal no. of marbles.
                     (i) If x,y,z are the marbles initially with A,B,C respectively.
             then the no of marbles B have at the end
                     (a) 2(x-y-z) (b) 4(x-y-z)   etc.
                     
                     (ii)If the total no. of marbles are 72, then the no. of marbles with A at the starting
                     a. 20 b. 30 c. 32

             3. If a car starts from A towards B with some velocity due to some
             problem in the engine after travelling 30km.If  the car goes with
             4/5 th of its actuval velocity the car reaches B 45min later to the
             actual time. If the car engine fails ofter travelling 
             45km, the car reaches the destination B 36min late to the  actual
             time , what is the initial velocity of car and what is the distance between A and B in km
              ans) 20 & 130.

             7. In a computer institute 9 languages can taught. The module is
             of 6 months duration and only six languages  each of one month can
             be taught. In addition to that BASIC is always there and should be in first month itself
              # word perfect is to be taught in the preceeding week of word star.
