Options- A. 7/12
- B. 9/16
- C. 13/20
- D. 32/80
- Correct Answer
- 7/12
ExplanationHere to say which fraction is greater from the given options, the fraction with greater numerator with same denominator or smaller denominator with same numerator.
To find the greater fraction, among the given options, make the denominators same for the options by finding the LCM of all the denominators.
7/12, 9/16, 13/20, 32/80
Now, LCM of 12, 16, 20, 80 = 240.
Then,
140/240, 135/240, 156/240, 96/240
Here
Hence, largest fraction = 13/20.

| 3 |
| ⟹ | 5 | A + | 4 | B | = | 2 | ❨ | 6 | A + | 8 | B | ❩ |
| 100 | 100 | 3 | 100 | 100 |
| ⟹ | 1 | A + | 1 | B | = | 1 | A + | 4 | B |
| 20 | 25 | 25 | 75 |
| ⟹ | ❨ | 1 | - | 1 | ❩ A = | ❨ | 4 | - | 1 | ❩ B |
| 20 | 25 | 75 | 25 |
| ⟹ | 1 | A = | 1 | B |
| 100 | 75 |
| A | = | 100 | = | 4 | . |
| B | 75 | 3 |
∴ Required ratio = 4 : 3
Correct Answer: 89 sec
Explanation:
| Speed = | ❨ | 240 | ❩m/sec = 10 m/sec. |
| 24 |
| ∴ Required time = | ❨ | 240 + 650 | ❩sec = 89 sec. |

Correct Answer: Wednesday
Explanation:
17 th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = (5 x 3) ≡ 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March April May June (31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
∴ 168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
Given day is Wednesday.

Correct Answer: 64
Explanation:
Let 1872/?N = 234.
Then ?N = 1872/234 = 8
? N = 8 x 8 = 64
Correct Answer: 16 :15
Explanation:
Let distance covered by dog in 1 leap is x and
Distance covered by cat in 1 leap is y
Then, 3x = 4y
? x= 4/3y
Now, Ratio of speed of dog and cat = Ratio of distance covered by them in the same time = 4x : 5y
= 16/3y : 5y
= 16 : 15
Correct Answer: 34%
Explanation:
Total volume of cuboid = (10 x 5 x 2) cm3
= 100 cm3
Volume curved = 1/3 x (22/7) x 3 x 3 x 7 cm3
= 66 cm3
% of wood wasted = (100 - 66)% = 34 %
Correct Answer: 90
Explanation:
Series pattern
12, 32, 52, 72, 92, 112
So missing term = 112 = 121
Correct Answer: 7:30
Explanation:
Angle of 360° is covered by hour hand in 12 h .
So, angle of 135° is covered by hour hand in 12/360° x 135° = 4.5 h
Thus, required time = (3 + 4.5)h = 7.5 h = 7 : 30
