- Question
There are two examinations rooms P and Q. If 10 students are sent from P to Q, then the number of students in each room is the same. If 20 candidates are sent from Q to P, then the number of students in P is double the number of students in Q. The number of students in room Q is ?
Options- A. 100
- B. 70
- C. 120
- D. 80
- Correct Answer
- 80
ExplanationIf 'k' is number of students in P and 'l' is number of students in Q, then
From the given conditions, we have
=> k - 10 = l + 10 .......(1)
=> k + 20 = 2(l - 20) ....(2)Solving these eqns, we get
k = 100 and l = 80.
Therefore, number of students in class Q is 80. - 1. Every integer is a rational number.

Correct Answer: TRUE
Explanation:
Yes, Every integer is a rational number. A rational number is a number which can be expressed as a ratio of two integers numerator and denominator where (the denominator not being 0 ).
Hence, Every integer can be expressed in ratio of two integers.
Correct Answer: A point has no dimension and a line has one dimension.
Explanation:
A point has no dimension and a line has one dimension is the statement that best compares a line and a point.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Arithmatic mean = sum/members
=> (1x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 + 4x4 + 5x5 + 6x6 + 7x7) / (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7)
=> 140/28 = 5
Correct Answer: 7 & 24
Explanation:
7 boxes & 24 Balls.
Let, n = No. of boxes ; m = No. of fruits
3n+3 = m---------->(1)
4(n-1)= m---------->(2)
=>4n-4 = 3n+3;
=>4n-3n = 4+3
n = 7
Put n=7 in eqn(1)
=> 3(7)+3 = m
21+3 = m
m = 24;
Number of boxes = 7 and fruits = 24
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
To join 5 tables we require 4 joins.
Correct Answer: 48
Explanation:
No. of students will be 98 x 12 = 1176
let us consider n circles then 1 + 2 + 3 + ....+ n = 1176
n(n+1)/2 = 1176
n = 48 circles.
Correct Answer: 900/19 %
Explanation:
First ten odd numbers form an arithmetic progression of the form
1,3,5,7,9......
here a = first term = 1
d = common difference = 2
Average of first n numbers = (2a + (n - 1)d)/2
n th term of the AP = a + (n - 1)d
Substituting a = 1, d = 2 and n = 10 in the above formulas
average of first 10 numbers = 10
10 th term of the AP = 19
Therefore average of first 10 terms is 19 - 10 = 9 greater than
the last term. Hence the average is greater than the sum by
9/19 X 100 = 900/19 %
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
Let x be number of houses and y be colors.
on the basis of question
x = 4y+1
x = 5(y-1)
on solving these 2 equations x = 25
Correct Answer: 1024
Explanation:
Fruits reduced by 1/4.
Total no. of bags N = 5
Formula to find no. of fruits in 1st bag = 4^n
Last Bag = 4 fruits.
That means, 4th bag = 4 x 4 = 16 fruits
3rd bag = 16 x 4 = 64 fruits
2nd bag = 64 x 4 = 256 fruits
1st bag = 256 x 4= 1024 fruits.
Correct Answer: -2
Explanation:
We know that in A.P series
18th term = a + 17d
29th term = a + 28d
But given
a + 17d = 29..........(i)
a + 28d = 18......... (ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get
d = -1
put d = -1 in any of the above equations and we get,
a = 46
Now, we know 49th term can be written as, a + 48d
putting the value of a and d in the above equation,
a + 48d = 46 + 48(-1)
= 46 - 48
= -2
Hence, the 49th term is -2.
