Correct Answer: Let the 5 digit number be represented by abcde Then the 6 digit number, 1abcde x 3 = abcde1 (another 6 digit number) Now let Y = abcde Then (100000 + Y) x 3 = (Y x 10) + 1 300000 + 3Y = 10Y + 1 7Y = 299999 Y = 299999 ÷ 7 = 42857
Correct Answer: It is a strange sequence Each number describes the resemblance of the previous one, except the first one 11 describes the previous '1' which contains one '1' 21 describes the previous '11' which contains two '1' 1211 describes the previous '21' which contains one '2' and one '1' 111221 describes the previous '1211' which contains one '1', one '2' and two '1' So the next sequence will be 312211, that is the previous '111221' contains three '1', two '2' and one '1'

Correct Answer: 1009
Explanation:
Given total number of rats = 999919
999919 = 1000000 - 81 =
= (1000+9)(1000-9) = 1009 x 991.
Since there were more rats than there were cats, 991 cats killed 1009 rats each.
Correct Answer: 1 time
Explanation:
How many times can you subtract 10 from 100, for this if we go through logically, it is only 1 time. For the first time if we subtract 10 from 100, then there will no 100 to subtract from.
Hence, it is only 1 time we can subtract 10 from 100.
Correct Answer: The number of blueberries is equal to number of cups multiplied by 4 minus one left That is : B = 9(C - 2) -> (1) Then the number of blueberries will be equal to the number of cups times three plus one left That is : B = 6C + 3 -> (2) Now substitute the 1st and 2nd equations: B = 9(C - 2) B = 6C + 3 C = 7, B = 45 Therefore Blueberries = 45 and cups = 7
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Here given that 9 = 63, 8 = 48, 7=35, ...
The given question follows a pattern that
9 x (9 - 2) = 9 x 7 = 63
8 x (8 - 2) = 8 x 6 = 48
7 x (7 - 2) = 7 x 5 = 35
Similarly, 4 x (4 - 2) = 4 x 2 = 8.
