- Question
The sum of the two digits of a number is 8. If the number is subtracted from the number obtained by reversing its digits, the result is 54. Find the number ?
Options- A. 28
- B. 19
- C. 37
- D. 17
- Correct Answer
- 17
ExplanationAny 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 - 1. A person in a bet 40 shots taken. 50p for a hit, 10p for a miss.(he have to give). Finally he has Rs.5. How many hits he have ?

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: 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: 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: 2/3
Explanation:
Let 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
