- B. 45
- C. 32
- D. 30
- Correct Answer
- 32
ExplanationProbability of left handed = 4/5
total student = 40
total left handed = 40 x(4/5)

Correct Answer: 28, 17
Correct Answer: 17
Explanation:
The pattern is , ,
The next number =
i.e. 17
Correct Answer: 60
Explanation:
Let,
no. of rice bowl = x
no. of dal bowl = y
no. of meat bowl = z
Then, 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.
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: 9
Explanation:
Ans.
540 = 3240/6
108 = 540/5
27 = 108/4
? = 27/3, i.e. ? = 9
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.
Correct Answer: 60 degrees
Explanation:
Given the angles of a quadrilateral are in the ratio of 2:4:7:5
Let the angles of a quadrilateral are 2x, 4x, 7x, 5x
But we know that sum of the angles = 360 degrees.
=> 2x + 4x + 7x + 5x = 360
=> x = 20
Therfore, the smallest angle of the quadrilateral = 2x = 2x20 = 40 degrees.
One of the angle of the triangle = 2 x 40 = 80 degrees
The other angle is 180 - (40 + 80) = 60 degrees.
Hence the second largest angle of the triangle is 60 degrees.
Correct Answer: Vr / (12 - V)
Explanation:
We have to rearrange the equation to make R the subject.
Start by cross multiplying by (r + R); V (r + R) = 12R
Multiply out the bracket Vr + VR = 12R
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
we can do this by trial and error method.
Putting x = 2,we get 2²(2² - 1) = 12.
checking with other integers, the above equation always gives a value which is a multiple of 12,
So, x²(x² - 1) is always divisible by 12.
