Q:

What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?

38, 195, ?, 4905, 24530, 122655

A) 980 B) 885
C) 824 D) 1021
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 980

Explanation:

The given series follows the pattern that,

 

×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5

 

38 x 5 + 5  = 195

 

195 x 5 + 5 = 980

 

980 x 5 + 5 = 4905

 

4905 x 5 + 5 = 24530

 

24530 x 5 + 5 = 122655

 

So the missing number is 980 .

Q:

In 10 years, A will be twice as old as B was 10 years ago. If A is now 9 years older than B, the present age of B is :

A) 19 B) 29
C) 39 D) 49
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 39

Explanation:

Let B's present age = x years. Then, A's present age = (x + 9) years.
(x + 9) + 10 = 2(x - 10)

 => x + 19 = 2x - 20

Q:

A sum of money amounts to Rs.6690 after 3 years and to Rs.10,035 after 6 years on compound interest.find the sum.

A) 4360 B) 4460
C) 4560 D) 4660
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 4460

Explanation:

Let the sum be Rs.P.then
P(1+R/100)^3=6690…(i) and P(1+R/100)^6=10035…(ii)
On dividing,we get (1+R/100)^3=10025/6690=3/2.
Substituting this value in (i),we get:
P*(3/2)=6690 or P=(6690*2/3)=4460
Hence,the sum is rs.4460.
