Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

This can be easily simplified by Approximation process

Given 39.96% of 649.85 ÷13.07 = 45.14 - ? can be written as 

40% of 650 ÷13 = 45 - ?

$$\begin{gathered} 40 x 65010013 = 45 - ? \\ ? = 45 - 20 \\ ? = 25. \end{gathered}$$

At 3 O'clock, Minute hand is at 12 while the Hour hand is at 3. Again the minute hand has to sweep through ( 30 x 5 ) ie 150° for reaching the figure 5 to show 25 mins. 

Simultaneously the Hour hand will also rotate for 25 mins. Thus starting from the mark, 3 the hour hand will cover an angle = (25 x 30) / 60 = 12.5° 

Hence, Angle between Hour and the Minute hand = ( 60 - 12.5 ) = 47.5°

Let 4A = 6B = 1OC = k. Then, A = k/4, B = k/6,  and C =k/10 .

A : B :C = k/4 : k/6 : k/10 = 15 : 10 : 6.

Hence, C's share (4650 *  6/31) = Rs, 900.

This sunday morning at 8:00 AM, the watch is 5 min. Slow, and the next sunday at 8:00PM it becomes 5 min 48 sec fast.  The watch gains 5+54860 min in a time of  (7×24)+12 = 180 hours. 

To show the correct time, it has to gain 5 min.

545min→180hours

5min ->

5542×180

8313hrs=72hrs+1113hrs=3days+11hrs+20min

So the correct time will be shown on wednesday at 7:20 PM

Here the given series 28, 12, 4, 2, -2 follows a pattern that

$$\begin{gathered} 28 \\ 28 - 24 = 28 - 16 = 12 \\ 12 - 23 = 12 - 8 = 4 \\ 4 - 22 = 4 - 4 = 0 (NOT 2) \\ 0 - 21 = 0 - 2 = -2 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 2.
