- D. Either I or Iv
- Correct Answer
- Only I
ExplanationAs per given condition,
Arranging according to age,
Kamini is younger than Rupa.
1. K < R
Pooja is younger than Monika.
2. P < M
Rupa and Monika are of the same age.
3. R = M
Neelam is elder to Rupa.
4. N > R
From 1 and 2,
5. R = M >K or P
from 5 and 4,
6. N > R = M >K or P
Persons are arranged by Age
Neelm > Rupa = Monika > Pooja > Kamini
or Neelam > Rupa = Monika > Kamini > Pooja

Correct Answer: to count the number of cases that fall into different subgroups within a dataset
Explanation:
Frequency is what means how many times the event occurs in the same period.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Arithmatic mean = sum/members
=> (1x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 + 5x5 + 6x6 + 7x7) / (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7)
=> 140/28 = 5
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
Let x be number of houses and y be colors.
on the basis of question
x = 4y+1
x = 5(y-1)
on solving these 2 equations x = 25
Correct Answer: -2
Explanation:
We know that in A.P series
18th term = a + 17d
29th term = a + 28d
But given
a + 17d = 29..........(i)
a + 28d = 18......... (ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get
d = -1
put d = -1 in any of the above equations and we get,
a = 46
Now, we know 49th term can be written as, a + 48d
putting the value of a and d in the above equation,
a + 48d = 46 + 48(-1)
= 46 - 48
= -2
Hence, the 49th term is -2.
Correct Answer: Supplementary angles
Explanation:
Two angles whose sum is 180 degrees are called supplementary angles.
Correct Answer: Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient
Explanation:
From the given data,
Let the two gits of a number be x & y
A) x + y = 15
B)
(x+y) (x - y) = 45
C) x - y = 3
From any 2 of the given 3 statements, we can find that 2 digit number as
2x = 18 => x = 9
=> y = 6
Hence, 2 digit number is 96.
Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to find.
Correct Answer: 54
Explanation:
Let R, G and B represent the number of balls in red, green and blue boxes respectively.
Then, .
R + G + B = 108 ...(i),
G + R = 2B ...(ii)
B = 2R ...(iii)
From (ii) and (iii), we have G + R = 2x 2R = 4R or G = 3R.
Putting G = 3R and B = 2R in (i), we get:
R + 3R + 2R = 108 6R = 108 R = 18.
Therefore Number of balls in green box = G = 3R = (3 x 18) = 54.
Correct Answer: 50
Explanation:
15 girls are absent => b = 2(g-15)...... eqn...(1)
45 boys are absent => g - 15 = 5(b-45).....eqn...(2)
=> g = 5(b-45) + 15
=> b = 2((5(b-45)+15)-15)
=> b = 2(5b - 225 + 15 - 15)
=> b = 2(5b-225)
=> b = 10b - 450
=> 9b = 450
=> b = 50
so from equation(2)
g - 15 = 5(b - 45)
=> g - 15 = 5(50-45)
=> g - 15 = 5(5)
=> g = 25 + 15
=> g = 40
Therefore, the number of boys = 50 and girls = 40
Correct Answer: 29
Correct Answer: is described generally, not using a formal definition
Explanation:
In geometry, we can define plane as a flat surface with no thickness.
The surface extends with no ends.
A plane does not have any edges even if we draw it on paper with edges, it does't mean it has edges.
Hence, A plane is an undefined term because it is described generally, not using a formal definition.
