- Question
If 1 is added to the denominator of a traction, the fraction becomes 1/2. If 1 is added to the numerator of the fraction, the fraction becomes 1. The fraction is :
Options- A. 1/3
- B. 2/3
- C. 4/3
- D. 5/3
- Correct Answer
- 2/3
ExplanationLet the fraction be x/y. Then, x /(y+1) = 1/2
=> 2x - y = 1 ..........(i)and
(x + 1) / y = 1 => x - y = 1 .......(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get : x = 2, y = 3. Hence, the required fraction is 2/3..

Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Let the number be v. Then, 3 (2x + 9) = 75.
2x + 9 = 25
=> 2x = 16
=> x = 8
Correct Answer: 0.5
Explanation:
In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.
Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,...
Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Let the number be x. Then,
15x - x = 56
x = 4
Correct Answer: 3 hrs
Explanation:
Let t be the usual time. If the usual rate is 1 unit, then the unusual rate is 6/7.
Balance by the distance,
1 x t = (6/7)(t + 30)
7t = 6(t + 30)
we get t as,
t = 180 minutes = 3 hrs.
Correct Answer: 6 painters
Explanation:
Two painters can complete two rooms in two hours.So 18 rooms can be painted in 6 hrs by 6 painters
Correct Answer: data inadequate
Explanation:
Let the ten's digit be x and unit's digit be y. Then, (10x + y) - (x + y) = 9 or x = 1.
From this data we cannot find y, the unit's digit. So the data is inadequate..
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
This is a quadratic equation. To find n we multiply the last terms in each bracket together (2 times -5) = -10
To find ?a? we multiply the first terms in each bracket together (3x times 2x) = 6x2, So a = 6.
Thus a - n = 16
To find k we multiply the first term in the first bracket by the second term in the second bracket and add the result to the product of the second term in the first bracket and the first term in the second. (-15x + 4x) = -11x. So k = -11
16 - 11 = 5
Correct Answer: 15
Explanation:
Let number of hit shots be 'X'
Let number of miss shots be 'Y'
Given X + Y = 40....(1)
50X - 10Y = 500.....(2)
Solving 1 and 2, we get
X = 15 and Y = 25
Therefore, number of hits = 15
Correct Answer: 17
Explanation:
Any two digit number can be written as (10P + Q), where P is the digit in the tens place and Q is the digit in the units place.
P + Q = 8 ----- (1)
(10Q + P) - (10P + Q) = 54
9(Q - P) = 54
(Q - P) = 6 ----- (2)
Solve (1) and (2) P = 1 and Q = 7
The required number is = 17
Correct Answer: 16
