Answer : 3. "81"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 81 Explanation: Given the number series is 4, 6, 12, 30, 81, 315. Here it follows a pattern that 4 4 x 1.5 = 6 6 x 2 = 12 12 x 2.5 = 30 30 x 3 = 90 not equals to 81 90 x 3.5 = 315 Hence the odd one in the series is 81.

Answer : 1. "0.5"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 0.5 Explanation: In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio. Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,... Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.
Q: Tilak rides on a cycle to a place at speed of 22 kmph and comes back at a speed of 20 kmph. If the time taken by him in the second case is 36 min. more than that of the first case, what is the total distance travelled by him (in km)? 2088 05b5cc6a0e4d2b4197774ca6c

Answer : 2. "264 km"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 264 km Explanation: Let the distance travelled by Tilak in first case or second case = d kms Now, from the given data, d/20 = d/22 + 36 min => d/20 = d/22 + 3/5 hrs => d = 132 km. Hence, the total distance travelled by him = d + d = 132 + 132 = 264 kms.
Q: A can do a piece of work in 10 days, B in 15 days. They work together for 5 days, the rest of the work is finished by C in two more days. If they get Rs. 3000 as wages for the whole work, what are the daily wages of A, B and C respectively (in Rs): 2084 05b5cc7d0e4d2b419777511d6

Answer : 2. "300, 200, 250"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 300, 200, 250 Explanation: A's 5 days work = 50% B's 5 days work = 33.33% C's 2 days work = 16.66% [100- (50+33.33)] Ratio of contribution of work of A, B and C = 50 : 3313 : 1623 = 3 : 2 : 1 A's total share = Rs. 1500 B's total share = Rs. 1000 C's total share = Rs. 500 A's one day's earning = Rs.300 B's one day's earning = Rs.200 C's one day's earning = Rs.250

Answer : 2. "60"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 60 Explanation: We know that, ● Each digit has a fixed position called its place. ● Each digit has a value depending on its place called the place value of the digit. ● The face value of a digit for any place in the given number is the value of the digit itself ● Place value of a digit = (face value of the digit) × (value of the place). Hence, the place value of 6 in 64 = 6 x 10 = 60.

Answer : 3. "Rs. 3944"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Rs. 3944 Explanation: Let the side of the square plot be 'a' ft.Given area of the plot (a x a) = 289 => a = 17Length of the fence = Perimeter of the plot = 4a = 68 ft.Cost of building the fence = 68 x 58 = Rs. 3944.

Answer : 3. "12th element"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 12th element Explanation: If we consider the third term to be ‘x”The 15th term will be (x + 12d)6th term will be (x + 3d)11th term will be (x + 8d) and 13th term will be (x + 10d).Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.x + 9d will be the 12th term. Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.
