Options- A. 60
- B. 74
- C. 82
- D. 58
- Correct Answer
- 60
ExplanationLet,
no. of rice bowl = x
no. of dal bowl = y
no. of meat bowl = zThen, x + y + z = 65 ....(1)
Also given that, 2x = 3y = 4z
substituting value of y & z in terms of x i.e. y = 2x/3 and z = x/2 in eq (1),
We get x = 30.As 1 rice bowl is shared between 2 guests,
Therefore, there are 60 guests. - 1. If the number 517*324 is completely divisible by 3, then the smallest whole number in the place of * will be:

Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Sum of digits = (5 + 1 + 7 + x + 3 + 2 + 4) = (22 + x ), which must be divisible by 3.
∴ x = 2.
Correct Answer: 9
Correct Answer: 12⁄35
Explanation:
Let the numbers be a and b . Then, a + b = 12 and ab = 35.
| ∴ | a + b | = | 12 | ⟹ | ❨ | 1 | + | 1 | ❩ | = | 12 |
| ab | 35 | b | a | 35 |
| ∴ Sum of reciprocals of given numbers = | 12 |

Correct Answer: 31
Explanation:
Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4
Then,
x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 93
=> 3x + 6 = 93
=> 3x = 87
=> x = 29 => 29, 31, 33 are three consecutive odd numbers.
Therefore, the middle number is 31.
