Answers and Solution:  
1. (2)
Number = 269*68
= 269 * (67+1)
= 269 * 67 + 269
clearly,remainder is obtained on dividing 269 by 67 that is 1.

2. (4)
Let x+y = 20 and x-y = 8
S0 (x+y)(x-y) = 20*8
=> x^2-y^2 = 160

3. (2)
Here x*y = 3x+2y
so 2*3+3*4 = (3*2+2*3)+(3*3+2*4)
= 12+17=29

4. (1)
Let the number of students be x.then,
=> 7 = (x*6+12*40)/(x+12)
=7x + 84 = 6x + 480
=> x = 396

5. (2)
6. (3)
10% of A = 15% 0f B = 20* 0f C
=> 10A = 15B = 20C
=> 10A/60 = 15B/60 = 20C/60
=> A/6 = B/4 = C/3
So A : B : C = 6 : 4 : 3
so 6x + 4x + 3x = 7800
=> 13x = 7800
x = 600
B's income = 4x = 600*4 = 2400

10. (1)
Let the incomes of two persons be Rs.5x and 3x rupess and their expenditure be Rs.9x and 5x respectively,
As given
5x - 9y = 2600.......(1)
3x - 5y = 1800.......(2)
by solve
then, x = 1600
So First person's income = 1600*5 = 8000
Second's person income = 1600*3 = 4800
