B is more efficient so you add not subtract. the factor here would be 5/4 not 3/4. Given same duration  B will do 125 unit of work while A only 100 units

(a) 492
(b) 468
(c) 262
(d) 246

cant figure this one out.

G=7,H=8,I=9, GHI=789 *2=1578

ABC=123*2=246

PS- I don't think these type of questions come in CSAT is it a PYQ?

Q32 is a reasoning question. So solve it via Venn diagram.

Even if it's a mathematics one, it is still wrong. A- {2,4,6,8...} and  B- {3,6,9,...}
