- Question
- How many terms are identical in the AP 1, 3, 5,..., 120 terms and 3, 6, 9,...80 terms?
Options- A. 39
- B. 40
- C. 41
- D. 42
- Correct Answer
- 40
Explanation1st series is 1, 3, 5, 7 , .... 120 terms
Last term = a + (120 -1) x d = 1 + 119 x 2 = 239
Hence, 1, 3, 5, 7,..., 239 is the first series.
2nd series 3, 6, 9, .., 80 term.
Last term = 3 + (80 - 1) x 3 = 240
Hence, 3, 6 , 9 ....240 is the last term
From above two series, the first common term is 3 and next is 9 and so on, Hence , the series of common terms is 3, 9, 15,.. last term.
Last common term is 237 (occurring in both).
Thus, the number of terms is this series which will give the number of common terms between the two series
(l - a)/(d + 1) = (237 - 3)/(6 + 1) = 40 - 1. A and B together can complete a work in 3 days. They started together but after 2 days, B left the work. If the work is completed after 2 more days, B alone could do the work in how many days?

Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
(A + B)'s 2 day's work = 2 x (1/3) = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 - (2/3) = 1/3
A will complete 1/3 work in 2
A will complete 1 work in 6
A's 1 days work = 1/6
B's 1 day's work = (1/3) - (1/6) = 1/6
? B will take 6 days to complete the work alone.
Correct Answer: 28 meters
Explanation:
Distance covered in one revolution = total distance travelled / total number of revolution.
= ( 88 x 1000) / 1000 m
= 88 m
We know that the distance covered in one revolution = circumference of the wheel.
? ?d = 88
? 22d / 7 = 88
? d = 28 m
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
So, 36 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 1.28
Explanation:
Given expression = (.896 x .752 +.896 x .248) / (.7 x .034 + .7 x.966)
=.[896 x (.752+.248)] / [.7 x (.034+.966)]
= .(896 x 1) / ( .700 x 1)
=896/700
= 1.28
Correct Answer: 48 km/hr
Explanation:
Average speed =2 x 40 x 60 / ( 40+ 60)
= 4800 / 100
= 48 km/hr
Correct Answer: Saturday
Explanation:
Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days.
So, after 63 days, it will be Monday.
After 61 days, it will be Saturday.
Correct Answer: 8500
Explanation:
9548 16862 = 8362 + x + 7314 x = 16862 - 8362 ----- = 8500 16862 -----
Correct Answer: ? 312
Explanation:
We know that
BG = SI on TD = (240 x 30 x 1 x 1)/100
= ? 72
BG = BD - TD
? BD = BG + TD
= 72 + 240
= ? 312
Correct Answer: May
Explanation:
If previous year is leap year then calendar of May is similar to July
Correct Answer: 1/2 , 3/4
Explanation:
In tossing a coin 2 times the sample space is 4 i,e (H, H), (H, T), (T, H), (T, T)
(1) If A1 denotes exactly one head
then A1 = {(H, T) (T, H) }
So, P(A1 ) = 2/4 = 1/2
(2) If A denotes at least one head
then A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H)}
? A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H )}
? P(A) = 3/4
