Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Here a = 3 and r = 6/3 = 2. Let the number of terms be n.
Then, t = 384 => a * r^(n-1) = 384
=> 3 * 2^(n-1) = 384 => 2^(n-1) = 128 = 2^(7)
=> n-1 = 7 => n = 8.
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Since 653xy is divisible by 5 as well as 2, so y = 0.
Now, 653x0 must be divisible by 8.
So, 3x0 must be divisible by 8. This happens when x = 2
x + y = (2 + 0) = 2.

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: 788
Explanation:
(kx22)/100 = 340 - 166.64 = 173.36
k = (173.36 x 100)/22
k = 788
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.
