Answers :

1) Answer: A

6 + (12 * 2) = 30

30 + (12 * 3) = 66

66 + (12 * 4) = 114

114 + (12 * 5) = 174

174 + (12 * 6) = 246

2) Answer: B

18 * 3 + 1 = 55

55 * 3 + 2 = 167

167 * 3 + 3 = 504

504 * 3 + 4 = 1516

1516 * 3 + 5 = 4553

3) Answer: C

31² – 1 = 960

32² – 1 = 1023

33² – 1 = 1088

34² – 1 = 1155

35² – 1 = 1224

36² – 1 = 1295

4) Answer: C

32 + 4² + 1 = 49

49 + 5² + 1 = 75

75 + 6² + 1 = 112

112 + 7² + 1 = 162

162 + 8² + 1 = 227

5) Answer: D

19 + 1² – 1 = 19

19 + 2² – 2 = 21

21 + 3² – 3 = 27

27 + 4² – 4 = 39

39 + 5² – 5 = 59

6) Answer: C

8x + 8 + 12x + 8 + 15x + 8 = 43 * 3

35x = 105

x = 3

Renu = 8 * 3 = 24 years

Manu = 12 * 3 = 36 years

Tinu = 15 * 3 = 45 years

Required sum = 24 + 36 + 45 – 12 = 93 years

7) Answer: D

Profit ratio of Sunil, Irfan and Ranbir = 4 * 12:5 * 8:3 * 12

= 12:10:9

Irfan’s profit share = 10/21 * 4200 = Rs.2000

8) Answer: A

Let assume, CP = x

MP = x * 125/100 = 5x/4

5x/4 + x = 5760

9x = 5760 * 4

x = 2560

MP of the article = 5 * 2560/4 = Rs.3200

SP = 3200 * 84/100 = 2688

Profit = 2688 – 2560 = Rs.128

Profit percentage = 128/2560 * 100 = 5%

9) Answer: C

Speed of boat along with stream = 180/18 = 10 kmph

Speed of the boat against stream = 144/24 = 6 kmph

Speed of the boat in still water = (10 + 6)/2 = 8 kmph

Speed of the stream = (10 – 6)/2 = 2 kmph

Required percentage = 2/8 * 100 = 25%

10) Answer: A

A + B – C = 1/18 + 1/27 – 1/30

= (15 + 10 – 9)/270

= 8/135

Required time = 135/8 = 16(7/8) hours
