Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

The terms of the series are products of two consecutive prime numbers i.e.

(2 x 3), (3 x 5), (5 x 7), (7 x 11),.....

So, 165 is wrong and must be replaced by (11 x 13) i.e. 143.

Total number of outcomes possible, n(S) = 10 + 25 = 35

Total number of prizes, n(E) = 10

 P(E)=n(E)n(S)=1035=27

Here in the given series, it follows a pattern that

77 + 2 = 79

79  - 3 = 76

76 + 5 = 81

81 -  7 = 74

74 + 11 = 85

Consecutive adding and subtracting of prime numbers.

So the wrong number in the given series is 75.

Ratio of initial investments = 1/2 : 1/3 : 1/4 = 6 : 4 : 3.

Let their initial investments be 6x, 2x and 3x respectively.

A : B : C = (6x * 2 + 3x * 10) : (4x * 12) : (3x * 12) = 42 : 48 : 36 = 7 : 8 : 6.

B's share =  Rs. (378 * 8/21) = Rs. 144.

Given Today is 20th January 2017, Sunday

In january, we have 31 days

February - 28 days (Non leap year)

March - 31 days

April - 30 days

=> Remaining days => 31 - 20 = 11 in Jan

+ 28 in Feb + 31 in Mar = 11 + 28 + 31 = 70 days

More 20 days to complete 90 days => upto 20th April

Therefore, after 90 days from today i.e, 20th Jan 2017 is 20th Apr 2017.

Now, the day of the week will be 

90/7 => Remainder '6'

As the day starts with '0' on sunday 

6 => Saturday.

Required day is 20th April, Saturday.

534.596 + 61.472 – 496.708 = ? + 27.271

596.068 – 496.708 = ? + 27.271

? = 99.36 – 27.271

? = 72.089.
