1.
How many natural numbers are there between 23 and 100 which are exactly divisible by 6 ?
8
11
12
13
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Required numbers are 24, 30, 36, 42, ..., 96

This is an A.P. in which a = 24, d = 6 and l = 96

Let the number of terms in it be n.

Then tn = 96    a + (n - 1)d = 96

24 + (n - 1) x 6 = 96

(n - 1) x 6 = 72

(n - 1) = 12

n = 13

Required number of numbers = 13.

Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

36 = 22 x 32

84 = 22 x 3 x 7

H.C.F. = 22 x 3 = 12.

The ratio of two numbers is 3 : 4 and their H.C.F. is 4. Their L.C.M. is:
12
16
24
48
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x and 4x. Then, their H.C.F. = x. So, x = 4.

So, the numbers 12 and 16.

L.C.M. of 12 and 16 = 48.

The sum of the squares of three numbers is 138, while the sum of their products taken two at a time is 131. Their sum is:
20
30
40
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let the numbers be a, b and c.

Then, a2 + b2 + c2 = 138 and (ab + bc + ca) = 131.

(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2(ab + bc + ca) = 138 + 2 x 131 = 400.

(a + b + c) = 400 = 20.

A, B and C jointly thought of engaging themselves in a business venture. It was agreed that A would invest Rs. 6500 for 6 months, B, Rs. 8400 for 5 months and C, Rs. 10,000 for 3 months. A wants to be the working member for which, he was to receive 5% of the profits. The profit earned was Rs. 7400. Calculate the share of B in the profit.
Rs. 1900
Rs. 2660
Rs. 2800
Rs. 2840
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

For managing, A received = 5% of Rs. 7400 = Rs. 370.

Balance = Rs. (7400 - 370) = Rs. 7030.

Ratio of their investments = (6500 x 6) : (8400 x 5) : (10000 x 3)

   = 39000 : 42000 : 30000

   = 13 : 14 : 10

B's share = Rs. 7030 x 14 = Rs. 2660.

A and B can do a piece of work in 30 days, while B and C can do the same work in 24 days and C and A in 20 days. They all work together for 10 days when B and C leave. How many days more will A take to finish the work?
18 days
24 days
30 days
36 days
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

2(A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = ( 1 + 1 + 1 ) = 15 = 1 .
30 24 20 120 8

Therefore, (A + B + C)'s 1 day's work = 1 = 1 .
2 x 8 16

Work done by A, B, C in 10 days = 10 = 5 .
16 8

Remaining work = ( 1 - 5 ) = 3 .
8 8

A's 1 day's work = ( 1 - 1 ) = 1 .
16 24 48

Now, 1 work is done by A in 1 day.
48

So, 3 work will be done by A in ( 48 x 3 ) = 18 days.

A vessel is filled with liquid, 3 parts of which are water and 5 parts syrup. How much of the mixture must be drawn off and replaced with water so that the mixture may be half water and half syrup?
1
3
1
4
1
5
1
7
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Suppose the vessel initially contains 8 litres of liquid.

Let x litres of this liquid be replaced with water.

Quantity of water in new mixture = 3 - 3x + x litres
8

Quantity of syrup in new mixture = 5 - 5x litres
8

3 - 3x + x = 5 - 5x
8 8

5x + 24 = 40 - 5x

10x = 16

x = 8 .
5

So, part of the mixture replaced = 8 x 1 = 1 .

If the simple interest on a sum of money for 2 years at 5% per annum is Rs. 50, what is the compound interest on the same at the same rate and for the same time?
Rs. 51.25
Rs. 52
Rs. 54.25
Rs. 60
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)

100
= Rs. 500 x 21 x 21
20 20
= Rs. 551.25

C.I. = Rs. (551.25 - 500) = Rs. 51.25

What is the capacity of the cylindrical tank?

I. 

The area of the base is 61,600 sq. cm.

II. 

The height of the tank is 1.5 times the radius.

 III. 

The circumference of base is 880 cm.

Only I and II
Only II and III
Only I and III
Any two of the three
Only II and either I or III
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Capacity = r2h.

I gives, r2 = 61600. This gives r.

II gives, h = 1.5 r.

Thus, I and II give the answer.

Again, III gives 2r = 880. This gives r.

So, II and III also give the answer.

Correct answer is (E).

By investing Rs. 1620 in 8% stock, Michael earns Rs. 135. The stock is then quoted at:
Rs. 80
Rs. 96
Rs. 106
Rs. 108
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

To earn Rs. 135, investment = Rs. 1620.

To earn Rs. 8, investment = Rs. 1620 x 8 = Rs. 96.
135

Market value of Rs. 100 stock = Rs. 96.

In how many different ways can the letters of the word 'MATHEMATICS' be arranged so that the vowels always come together?
10080
4989600
120960
None of these
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

In the word 'MATHEMATICS', we treat the vowels AEAI as one letter.

Thus, we have MTHMTCS (AEAI).

Now, we have to arrange 8 letters, out of which M occurs twice, T occurs twice and the rest are different.

Number of ways of arranging these letters = 8! = 10080.
(2!)(2!)

Now, AEAI has 4 letters in which A occurs 2 times and the rest are different.

Number of ways of arranging these letters = 4! = 12.
2!

Required number of words = (10080 x 12) = 120960.

21
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

Total number of balls = (8 + 7 + 6) = 21.

Let E = event that the ball drawn is neither red nor green
= event that the ball drawn is blue.

n(E) = 7.

P(E) = n(E) = 7 = 1 .
n(S) 21 3

15, 16, 34, 105, 424, 2124, 12756
16
34
105
424
2124
Your Answer: Option
(Not Answered)
Correct Answer: Option
Explanation:

2nd term = (1st term) x 1 + 1 = 15 x 1 + 1 = 16.

3rd term = (2nd term) x 2 + 2 = 16 x 2 + 2 = 34.

4th term = (3th term) x 3 + 3 = 34 x 3 + 3 = 105.

5th term = (4th term) x 4 + 4 = 105 x 4 + 4 = 424

6th term = (5th term) x 5 + 5 = 424 x 5 + 5 = 2125

6th term should 2125 instead of 2124.
