- Question
- The average of four consecutive numbers A, B, C, and D is 49.5. What is the product of B and D?
Options- A. 2499
- B. 2352
- C. 2450
- D. 2550
- Correct Answer
- 2499
ExplanationLet the numbers A, B, C, and D are N , N+1, N + 2 and N + 3, respectively.
According to the question,
[N + (N+1) + (N+2) + (N+3)] / 4 = 49.5
? 4N + 6 = 4 x 49.5
? 4N = 198 - 6 ? N = 192/4
? N = 48
The required product = B x D
= (N + 1) x (N + 3)
= (48 +1) (48 +3 )
= 49 x 51
= 2499 - 1. The smallest positive prime (say p) such that 2 p - 1is not a prime is

Correct Answer: 11
Explanation:
Taking p = 11
2p - 1 = 211 - 1
= 2047
Since 2047 is divisible by 23 it is not prime. Thus, required least positive prime number is 11.
Correct Answer: 72
Explanation:
Correct Answer: 47
Explanation:
So, the number 47 is wrong and must be replaced by 46.
Correct Answer: 0.045388
Explanation:
Multiplying 3.242 x 14=4.5388
Now divide 4.5388 by 100
So, 4.5388 ÷ 100= 0.045388
? Shift the decimal two places to the left as 100
Correct Answer: 173 m
Explanation:
Let us draw a figure from given question.
Let, AB = 100 m be the height of a tower, P is a point on the ground such that ∠APB = 30°
From right triangle ABP,
BP = 100 cot 30°
⇒ BP = 100 √3
⇒ BP = 100 X 1.73
⇒ BP = 173 meter
Correct Answer: 6 years
Explanation:
Father's age when Ayesha's brother was born = (38 + 4) years = 42 years.
∴ Required difference = (42 - 36) years = 6 years.
Correct Answer: 20%
Explanation:
Then, S.P. of 1 litre of mixture = Re. 1, Gain = 25%.
| C.P. of 1 litre mixture = Re. | ❨ | 100 | x 1 | ❩ | = | 4 |
| 125 | 5 |
By the rule of alligation, we have:
| C.P. of 1 litre of milk C.P. of 1 litre of water | |||||
| Re. 1 | Mean Price
|
0 | |||
|
|
||||
| ∴ Ratio of milk to water = | 4 | : | 1 | = 4 : 1. |
| 5 | 5 |
| Hence, percentage of water in the mixture = | ❨ | 1 | x 100 | ❩% | = 20%. |

Correct Answer: 16 km
Explanation:
Then, distance travelled on bicycle = (61 -x) km.
| So, | x | + | (61 -x) | = 9 |
| 4 | 9 |
⟹ 9x + 4(61 -x) = 9 x 36
⟹ 5x = 80
⟹ x = 16 km.
Correct Answer: 670
Explanation:
? = 3.2 x 8.1 + 3185 ÷ 4.95
= 25.92 + 643.43 = 669.35 = 670
Correct Answer: 3 %
Explanation:
Exp. = (.35 x .0015) / (.25 x .07)
= ( 35 x 15) / (25 x 7 x 100)
= (3/100) x 100 %
= 3%
