- Question
A sum of Rs.1890 has to be used to give 9 prizes to the customers of a super market for their overall academic purchases. If each prize is Rs.30 less than its preceding price, what is the least value of the price ?
Options- A. 90
- B. 95
- C. 85
- D. 80
- Correct Answer
- 90
ExplanationLet the least value of the prize = Rs. x
Then the next value of the prize is x+30 , x+60, x+90, ....x+240.
Given total amount of cash prizes = Rs.1890
--> x + (x+30) + (x+60) + (x+90) + ....+ (x+240) = 1890
--> 9x + (30 + 60 + 90 + 120 + 150 + 180 + 210 + 240) = 1890
--> 9x + 30(1 + 2 + 3 + 4....+ 8) = 1890
--> 9x + 30(36) = 1890
--> 9x = 810 --> x=90
Hence the least value of the prize x=90

R ? 59, 68, 77, 86, 95
U ? 56, 65, 78, 87, 99
From the above given figure , the values for Cell numbers 76,57,79,33 are MILE .
Therefore,
76 ? M
57 ? I
79 ? L
33 ? E
Correct Answer: 18
Explanation:
From above given series , we can see that
Next term = Previous term × variable + variable2
First term = 1
Second term = First term × 1 + 12
? Second term = 1 × 1 + 12 = 1 + 1 = 2 ;
Third term = Second term × 2 + 22
? Third term = 2 × 2 + 22 = 4 + 4 = 6; 6 is wrong. It should be 8. Here, 6 is the wrong number.
Similarly , we can find all others terms also.
Fourth term = Third term × 3 + 32
? Fourth term = 8 × 3 + 32 = 24 + 9 = 33 ;
Fifth term = Fourth term × 4 + 42
? Fifth term = 33 × 4 + 42 = 132 + 16 = 148 ;
Sixth term = Fifth term × 5 + 52
? Sixth term = 148 × 5 + 52 = 740 + 25 = 765 ;
Seventh term = Sixth term × 6 + 62
? Seventh term = 765 × 6 + 62 = 4590 + 36 = 4626 .
New series is given as :-
First term = wrong term × 1 + 12 = 6 × 1 + 12 = 7;
Second term = wrong term × 1 + 12 = 6 × 2 + 22 = 16.
Hence Second term of new series is 16 .
