Q:

Find the odd number in the given number series?

14, 27, 105, 525, 4993

A) 27 B) 105
C) 525 D) 4993
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 525

Explanation:

The given number series is 14, 27, 105, 525, 4993

14

14 x 2 - 1 = 27

27 x 4 - 3 = 105

105 x 6 - 5 = 625 (not 525)

625 x 8 - 7 = 4993

 

Hence, the odd man or number in the given number series is 525.

Q:

A vessel contains 20 liters of a mixture of milk and water in the ratio 3:2. 10 liters of the mixture are removed and replaced with an equal quantity of pure milk. If the process is repeated once more, find the ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained ?

A) 5:3 B) 1:4
C) 4:1 D) 9:1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 9:1

Explanation:

Milk = 3/5 x 20 = 12 liters, water = 8 liters

 

If 10 liters of mixture are removed, amount of milk removed = 6 liters and amount of water removed = 4 liters.

 

Remaining milk = 12 - 6 = 6 liters

Remaining water = 8 - 4 = 4 liters

 

10 liters of pure milk are added, therefore total milk = (6 + 10) = 16 liters.

 

The ratio of milk and water in the new mixture = 16:4 = 4:1

 

If the process is repeated one more time and 10 liters of the mixture are removed,
then amount of milk removed = 4/5 x 10 = 8 liters.

 

Amount of water removed = 2 liters.

 

Remaining milk = (16 - 8) = 8 liters.

Remaining water = (4 -2) = 2 liters.

 

Now 10 lts milk is added => total milk = 18 lts

 

The required ratio of milk and water in the final mixture obtained

 

= (8 + 10):2 = 18:2 = 9:1.

Q:

The altitude drawn to the base of an isosceles triangle is 8cm and the perimeter is 32cm. Find the area of the triangle?

A) 50 B) 60
C) 70 D) 80
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

let ABC be the isosceles triangle, the AD be the altitude 

Let AB = AC = x then BC= 32-2x       [because parameter = 2 (side) + Base] 

since in an isoceles triange the altitude bisects the base so 

BD = DC = 16-x 

In a triangle ADC, AC2=AD2+DC2 

x2=82+16-x2 x=10 

BC = 32-2x = 32-20 = 12 cm 

Hence, required area = 12*BC*AD12*12*10 = 60 sq cm

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 67.5 degrees

Explanation:

Angle traced by hour hand in214 21 hrs = 36012×2140 =157102 

 

Angle traced by min. hand in 15 min = 36012×150 = 900 

 

 Required Angle = 157120-900 = 67102

Q:

A sum of Rs.1550 was lent partly at 8% p.a. simple interest. The total interest received after 3 years was Rs.300. The ratio of the money lent at 5% to that lent at 8% is :

A) 5:8 B) 6:7
C) 16:15 D) 17:18
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16:15

Explanation:

let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then, 

 

Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300

 

 x*5*3100+1500-x*8*3100=300 

 

 x=800

 

Required ratio =  x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15
