1/2, 1, 3/2, 6, 5/2, 3

A) 1	B) 6
C) 5/2	D) 3/2

3/2 + 1/2 = 2 (Not 6)

2 + 1/2 = 5/2

5/2 + 1/2 = 3

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 6.

Q:

The average temperature of the town in the first four days of a month was 58 degrees. The average for the second, third, fourth and fifth days was 60 degrees. If the temperatures of the first and fifth days were in the ratio 7 : 8, then what is the temperature on the fifth day ?

A) 62 degrees	B) 64 degrees
C) 65 degrees	D) 66 degrees

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 64 degrees

Explanation:

Sum of temperatures on 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th days = (58 * 4) = 232 degrees ... (1)

Sum of temperatures on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th days - (60 * 4) = 240 degrees ....(2)

Subtracting (1) From (2), we get :

Temp, on 5th day - Temp on 1st day = 8 degrees.

Let the temperatures on 1st and 5th days be 7x and 8x degrees respectively.

Then, 8x - 7x = 8 or x = 8.

Temperature on the 5th day = 8x = 64 degrees.

Q:

A goods train runs at the speed of 72 kmph and crosses a 250 m long platform in 26 seconds. What is the length of the goods train?

A) 230 m	B) 240 m
C) 260 m	D) 270 m

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 270 m

Explanation:

Speed =[ 72 x (5/18) ]m/sec= 20 m/sec.

Time = 26 sec.

Let the length of the train be x metres.

Then,[ (x+250)/26 ]= 20

=> x + 250 = 520

=> x = 270.
