Answer : 4. "31"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 31 Explanation: Let y be the total number of loavesa be the remaining loaves after 1st thiefb be the remaining loaves after 2nd thiefand c, d..so on after 3 and 4 the = 0 be the remaining loaves after 5th thief a = y - (y/2 + 1/2)= y/2 - 1/2 b = a - (a/2 + 1/2)= a/2 - 1/2 c = b - (b/2 + 1/2)= b/2 - 1/2 d = c - (c/2 + 1/2)= c/2 - 1/2 e = d - (d/2 + 1/2)= d/2 - 1/2we know that, e = 0,thus by substitution, we getd = 1c = 3b = 7a = 15y = 31Therefore total number of bread loaves in bakery was 31.

Answer : 2. "1243"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 1243 Explanation: Given number sequence is 28, 16, 28, 76, 274 Here the sequence follows a pattern that 28 28 x 0.5 + 2 = 14 + 2 = 16 16 x 1.5 + 4 = 24 + 4 = 28 28 x 2.5 + 6 = 70 + 6 = 76 76 x 3.5 + 8 = 266 + 8 = 274 274 x 4.5 + 10 = 1233 + 10 = 1243 Hence, the next number in the given number sequence is 1243.

Answer : 3. "3:2"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 3:2 Explanation: Let us assume S as number of shirts and T as number of trousersGiven that each trouser cost = Rs.70 and that of shirt = Rs.30Therefore, 70 T + 30 S = 810=> 7T + 3S = 81......(1)T = ( 81 - 3S )/7 We need to find the least value of S which will make (81 - 3S) divisible by 7 to get maximum value of TSimplifying by taking 3 as common factor i.e, 3(27-S) / 7In the above equation least value of S as 6 so that 27- 3S becomes divisible by 7 Hence T = (81-3xS)/7 = (81-3x6)/7 = 63/7 = 9 Hence for S, put T in eq(1), we getS = 81-7(9)/3 = 81-63 / 3 = 18/3 = 6.The ratio of T:S = 9:6 = 3:2.
