Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

2.5 × 1 + 1 = 3.5

3.5 × 2 + 2 = 9

9 × 4 + 4 = 40

40 × 8 + 8 = 328

If the period between the two months is divisible by 7, then that two months will have the same calender .

 
(a). Oct + Nov  = 31 + 30 = 61 (not divisible by 7)

(b). Apr + May + Jun + Jul + Aug + Sep + Oct = 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 31  = 214 (not divisible by 7)

(c). Jun + July + Aug + Sep = 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 = 122 (not divisible by 7)

(d). Apr + May + June = 30 + 31 + 30 = 91 (divisible by 7)

Hence, April and July months will have the same calendar.

We know that,

● Each digit has a fixed position called its place.

● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit.

● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself

● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place).

Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.

Least Cost Price = Rs. (200 * 8) = Rs. 1600.

Greatest Selling Price = Rs. (425 * 8) = Rs. 3400.

Required profit = Rs. (3400 - 1600) = Rs. 1800.

Arithmetic Series ::

An Arithmetic Series is a series of numbers in which each term increases by a constant amount.

How to find the sum of the Arithmetic Sequence or Series for the given Series ::

When the series contains a large amount of numbers, its impractical to add manually. You can quickly find the sum of any arithmetic sequence by multiplying the average of the first and last term by the number of terms in the sequence.

That is given by Sn = n(a1 + an)2 Where n = number of terms, a1 = first term, an = last term

Here Last term is given by an = a1 + n-1d where d = common difference

Now given Arithmetic Series is 

2, 5, 8, 11,...

Here a1 = 2,  d = 3, n = 36 

Now, $$\begin{gathered} an= a1 + n - 1d \\ a36= 2 + 36 - 13 = 105 + 2 = 107 \end{gathered}$$

Now, Sum to 36 terms is given by

S36 = 36(2 + 107)2 = 36 x 1092 = 39242 = 1962

Therefore, Sum to 36 terms of the series 2, 5, 8, 11,... is 1962.

Principal = Rs. 10000; Rate = 2% per half-year; Time = 2 years = 4 half-years.
Amount == Rs. 10824.32.

 Rs.10000*1+21004=Rs.10000*5150*5150*5150*5150

 C.I. = Rs. (10824.32 - 10000) = Rs. 824.32.

The given series is 8, 14, 24, 60, 180

8

8 x 1.5 = 12 (NOT 14)

12 x 2 = 24

24 x 2.5 = 60

60 x 3 = 180

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 12.
