Q:

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 3 is 72. What is the second largest number ?

A) 27	B) 24
C) 21	D) 42

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24

Then,
3x + (3x + 3) + (3x + 6) = 72
9x = 63
x = 7
Largest number = 3x + 6 = 27.

=> Second largest number = 27 - 3 = 24

A) 56	B) 58
C) 62	D) 64

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56

Here the values are nothing but the values corresponding to the alphabets when taken in a reverse order,i.e,A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1
G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32
S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49

So
SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.
