Answer : 3. "4"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 4 Explanation: N = H.C.F. of (4665 - 1305), (6905 - 4665) and (6905 - 1305) = H.C.F. of 3360, 2240 and 5600 = 1120. Sum of digits in N = ( 1 + 1 + 2 + 0 ) = 4

Answer : 2. "320 ml"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 320 ml Explanation: Here total parts of milk and water in the solution is 6+2 = 8 parts. 1part = 640/8 = 80   old mixture contains 6parts of milk and 2 parts of water(6:2).   To get new mixture containing half milk and half water, add 4parts of water to the old mixture then 6:(2+4) to make the ratio same. i.e, 4 x 80 = 320 ml.

Answer : 1. "3/91"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 3/91 Explanation: In a circle of n different persons, the total number of arrangements possible = (n - 1)!Total number of arrangements = n(S) = (15 – 1)! = 14 !Taking three persons as a unit, total persons = 13 (in 4 units)Therefore no. of ways for these 13 persons to around the circular table = (13 - 1)! = 12!In any given unit, 3 particular person can sit in 3!. Hence total number of ways that any three person can sit =n(E) = 12! X 3!Therefore P (E) = probability of three persons sitting together = n(E) / n(S) = 12! X 3 ! / 14!= 12!x3x2 / 14x13x12! = 6/14x13 = 3/91

Answer : 1. "1009"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 1009 Explanation: Given total number of rats = 999919   999919 = 1000000 - 81 = 10002 - 92 = (1000+9)(1000-9) = 1009 x 991.Since there were more rats than there were cats, 991 cats killed 1009 rats each.
