Answer : 1. "4/3 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 4/3 days Explanation: Let the total number of documents to be printed be 12.  The number of documents printed by P in 1 day = 4.  The number of documents printed by Q in 1 day = 3.  The number of documents printed by R in 1 day = 2.  Thus, the total number of documents that can be printed by all the machines working simultaneously in a single day = 9.   Therefore, the number of days taken to complete the whole work = 12/9 = 4/3 days.

Work done in 3 days = ((1/96) x 16 x 3) = 1/2 Remaining work = 1 – 1/2 = 1/2 (6 adults+ 4 children)’s 1 day’s work = 6/96 + 4/192 = 1/12 1/12 work is done by them in 1 day. 1/2 work is done by them in 12 x (1/2) = 6 days.

Answer : 3. "11"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 11 Explanation: Let the number of sides be n.  The number of diagonals is given by nC2 - n   Therefore, nC2 - n = 44, n>0  nC2 - n = 44 n2 - 3n - 88 = 0  n2 -11n + 8n - 88 = 0   n(n - 11) + 8(n - 11) = 0  n = -8 or n = 11.   As n>0, n will not be -8. Therefore, n=11.

Answer : 1. "30,400"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 30,400 Explanation: we can treat every two consecutive terms as one.So, we will have a total of 100 terms of the nature:(2 + 5) + (7 + 6) + (12 + 7).... => 7, 13, 19,....   We know the sum of n terms  nn+12   Now, a= 7, d=6 and n=100Hence the sum of the given series is S= 100/2 x[2 x 7 + 99 x 6]=> 50[608]=> 30,400.
