Answer : 2. "14"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 14 Explanation: Given Number series is :   3   4   14   48   576   27648   It follows a pattern that,   3   4   4 x 3 = 12   but not 14   12 x 4 = 48   48 x 12 = 576   576 x 48 = 27648       Hence, the odd one in the given Number Series is 14.

Answer : 4. "21"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 21 Explanation: Total number of exams written by 100 students = 48 + 45 + 38 = 131Now let us say x members are writing only 1 exam, y members are writing only 2 exams, z members are writing only 3 exams.Therefore, x + 2y + 3z = 131 also x + y + z = 100.Given that z = 5. So x + 2y = 116 and x + y = 95.Solving we get y = 21.So 21 members are writing exactly 2 exams.

Answer : 3. "25"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 25 Explanation: a+b=5   ...(1)    and    3a+2b=20 ...(2)   Multiplying (1) by 2 and subtracting from (2), we get : a=10.   Putting a=10 in (1), we get : b=-5   Therefore,   (3a+b) = 3 x 10+(-5)=30-5=25.

Q: Vishal invested 10% more than Trishul. Trishul invested 10% less than Raghu. If the total sum of their investments is Rs. 5780, how much amount did Raghu invest ? 1584 0

Answer : 3. "Rs.2000"
Explanation :

Answer: C) Rs.2000 Explanation: Let money invested by Raghu = Rs. xMoney invested by Trishul = 9/10 x = 0.9xMoney invested by Vishal = 9/10x * 110/100 = 0.99xAlso, x+0.9x+0.99x = 5780= x= 5780/2.89 = 2000 Therefore, amount invested by Raghu is Rs. 2000.

Answer : 2. "172.5 degrees"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 172.5 degrees Explanation: The minute hand angle is the easiest since an hour (i.e. 60 minutes) corresponds to the entire 360 degrees, each minute must correspond to 6 degrees. So just multiply the number of minutes in the time by 6 to get the number of degrees for the minute hand. Here 15 minutes corresponds to 15 x 6 = 90 degrees Next, you have to figure out the angle of the hour hand. Since there are 12 hours in the entire 360 degrees, each hour corresponds to 30 degrees. But unless the time is EXACTLY something o'clock, you have to write the time as a fractional number of hours rather than as hours and minutes.Here the time is 9:15 which is (9 + 15/60) = 37/4 hours. Since each hour corresponds to 30 degrees, we multiply 30 to get (37/4)(30) = 277.5 degrees. Since the hour hand is at 277.5 degrees and the minute hand is at 90 degrees, we can subtract to get the angle of separation. 277.5 - 90 = 187.5 =~ 360 - 187.5 = 172.5 degrees.

Answer : 1. "36 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 36 days Explanation: Given the ratio of efficiencies of P, Q & R are 3 : 8 : 5 Let the efficiencies of P, Q & R be 3x, 8x and 5x respectively They can do work for 12 days. => Total work = 12 x 16x = 192x   Now, the required time taken by Q to complete the job alone = 162x8x = 24 days.

Answer : 4. "Can't determine"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Can't determine Explanation: NUMERICAL has 9 positions in which 2, 4, 6, 8 are even positions. And it contains 5 consonents i.e, N, M, R, C & L. Hence this cannot be done as 5 letters cannot be placed in 4 positions. Therefore, Can't be determined.

Answer : 3. "71"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 71 Explanation: To find the greatest number which divides the numbers 964, 1238 and 1400 leaving the remainders 41, 31 and 51 is nothing but the HCF of (964 - 41), (1238 - 31), (1400 - 51). Therefore, HCF of 923, 1207 and 1349 is 71.
