Answer : 1. "86"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 86 Explanation: Here the given number series is 5  11  21  44  ?  175   Now the given series follows a pattern, that   x2 + 1, x2 - 1, x2 + 2, x2 - 2, x2 + 3, x2 - 3,...   Then the missing number is x2 - 2   = 44 x 2 - 2 = 88 - 2 = 86   Hence, the missing number in the number series is 86.

Answer : 3. "Rs. 10664.15"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Rs. 10664.15 Explanation: Profit received by Chinna as working partner = 14.5% of Rs. 19600 = 14.5x19600/100 = Rs. 2842 Balance in profit = 19600-2842 = Rs. 16758 Ratio of investment of Chinna & Munna = 80,000 : 1,40,000 = 4 : 7 Hence share of Chinna in investment = 4x16758/100 = Rs. 6093.85 Therefore, Share of Munna = 19600 - 2842 - 6093.85 = Rs. 10664.15

Answer : 2. "5 m/h"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 5 m/h Explanation: As the distance travelled is constant, the time taken is inversely proportional to speed. Let 'u' be the speed of the current and 'v' be the speed of the boat. Speed of the boat downstream = v + u & upstream = v - u => v+u/v-u = 30/20 => v/u = 5 => v = 5u => v + u = 6u = 10/20/60 miles/hr => 6u = 30 m/h => u = 5 m/h

Answer : 4. "None of the statements is required"
Explanation :

Answer: D) None of the statements is required Explanation: From the given data, (60 - 45)% = 12.5 + 415% = 16.5=> 100% = ?100% = 16.5 x 100/15 = 110 Hence, P = 45% of 110 = 45x110/100 = 49.5 Q = 50% of 110 = 55R = 60% of 110 = 60 x 110/100 = 66M = 12.5 + 49.5 = 62 or 66 - 4 = 62   Hence, no statement is required to answer.
