Arithmetical Reasoning Questions

Q:

Every rational number is an integer.

A) TRUE B) FALSE
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) FALSE

Explanation:

Any integer 'i' can be written as i = i/1, which is a rational number. Clearly, 7/2,-5/4, etc... are rational numbers but they are not integers.


Hence, from the above analysis, every integer is a rational number but a rational number need not be an integer.


 


Therefore the given statement that 'Every rational number is an integer' is FALSE.

Q:

How much does a gallon of water weigh?

A) 2.741 kgs B) 2.956 kgs
C) 3.418 kgs D) 3.785 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 3.785 kgs

Explanation:

1 Gallon = 3.785 kgs

Gallon is a unit of measurement of liquid.

We know that 1 gallon = 3.785 liters

But we know that,

1 cubic meter = 1000 lit or 1000 kgs

=> 1 lit = 1 kg

Hence,  1 gallon = 3.785 lit = 3.785 kgs.

Q:

Which set represents a pythagorean triple?

A) 68, 72, 81 B) 35, 38, 42
C) 27, 38, 42 D) 33, 44, 55
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 33, 44, 55

Explanation:

A Pythagorean triple consists of three positive integers a, b, and c, such that a² + b² = c².

Here we know, that 3, 4, 5 are pythagorean triplets as 25 = 9 + 16. Hence, its multiple will also be a pythagorean triple.

 

In the options given, (3 x 11 , 4 x 11 , 5 x 11) = 33, 44, 55 is a pythagorean triplet.

Q:

Name a pair of complementary angles?

name_a_pair_of_complementary_angles1535013814.png image

A) B + C B) A + C
C) C + C D) B + A
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) B + A

Explanation:

Complementary angles are those whose sum is 90.

Given here, is a right angled triangle, where anfle C is 90 deg. In this, sum of Angles A + C = 90, since, sum of angles in a right angled triangle = 180, angle C = 90 and

hence sum of A + B = 180 - C = 180 - 90 = 90.

 

Hence, the pair of cimplementary angles in the given triangle = Angle A + B.

Q:

If in an A.P series 18th term is 29 and 29th term is 18. Then find the 49th term ?

A) -3 B) -2
C) 0 D) 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) -2

Explanation:

We know that in A.P series
18th term = a + 17d
29th term = a + 28d
But given
a + 17d = 29..........(i)
a + 28d = 18......... (ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get
d = -1
put d = -1 in any of the above equations and we get,
a = 46
Now, we know 49th term can be written as, a + 48d
putting the value of a and d in the above equation,
a + 48d = 46 + 48(-1)
= 46 - 48
= -2

Hence, the 49th term is -2.

Q:

Multiplicative inverse of 7?

A) 1 B) -1/7
C) 0 D) 1/7
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 1/7

Explanation:

Multiplicative inverse is nothing but a reciprocal of a number. 

It is defined as one of a pair of numbers that when multiplied with another number equals the number 1.

Multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 7 is 

7 x n = 1

=> n = 1/7.

 

Hence, Multiplicative inverse or reciprocal of 7 is  1/7.
