- On March 1st 2016 , sherry saved ? 1. Everyday starting from March 2nd 2016, he save ?1 more than the previous day . Find the first date after March 1st 2016 at the end of which his total savings will be a perfect square.
Options- A. 17th March 2016
- B. 18th March 2016
- C. 26th March 2016
- D. None of these
- Correct Answer
- None of these
ExplanationAccording to the question,
Every day adding 1 rs extra to previous day.
Let us assume after n day, total saving will become perfect square.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 +.......................+ tn.
Apply the algebra A.P formula,
sum of total rupees after n days = n(n+1)/2
Hit and trail method, Put the value of n = 2 , 3 , 4, 5 .... and so on to get the perfect square.
If n = 2
n(n+1)/2 = 2 x 3 / 2 = 3 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 3
n(n+1)/2 = 3 x 4 / 2 = 6 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 4
n(n+1)/2 = 4 x 5 / 2 = 10 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 5
n(n+1)/2 = 5 x 6 / 2 = 15 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 6
n(n+1)/2 = 6 x 7 / 2 = 21 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 7
n(n+1)/2 = 7 x 8 / 2 = 28 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 8
n(n+1)/2 = 8 x 9 / 2 = 36 which is perfect Square.
n(n+1)/2 should be a perfect square . The first value of n when this occurs would be for n = 8. thus , on the 8th of March of the required condition would come true. - 1.

Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
(A + B)'s 2 day's work = 2 x (1/3) = 2/3
Remaining work = 1 - (2/3) = 1/3
A will complete 1/3 work in 2
A will complete 1 work in 6
A's 1 days work = 1/6
B's 1 day's work = (1/3) - (1/6) = 1/6
? B will take 6 days to complete the work alone.
Correct Answer: 28 meters
Explanation:
Distance covered in one revolution = total distance travelled / total number of revolution.
= ( 88 x 1000) / 1000 m
= 88 m
We know that the distance covered in one revolution = circumference of the wheel.
? ?d = 88
? 22d / 7 = 88
? d = 28 m
Correct Answer: 36
Explanation:
So, 36 is wrong.
Correct Answer: 1.28
Explanation:
Given expression = (.896 x .752 +.896 x .248) / (.7 x .034 + .7 x.966)
=.[896 x (.752+.248)] / [.7 x (.034+.966)]
= .(896 x 1) / ( .700 x 1)
=896/700
= 1.28
Correct Answer: 48 km/hr
Explanation:
Average speed =2 x 40 x 60 / ( 40+ 60)
= 4800 / 100
= 48 km/hr
Correct Answer: Saturday
Explanation:
Each day of the week is repeated after 7 days.
So, after 63 days, it will be Monday.
After 61 days, it will be Saturday.
Correct Answer: 8500
Explanation:
9548 16862 = 8362 + x + 7314 x = 16862 - 8362 ----- = 8500 16862 -----
Correct Answer: ? 312
Explanation:
We know that
BG = SI on TD = (240 x 30 x 1 x 1)/100
= ? 72
BG = BD - TD
? BD = BG + TD
= 72 + 240
= ? 312
Correct Answer: May
Explanation:
If previous year is leap year then calendar of May is similar to July
Correct Answer: 1/2 , 3/4
Explanation:
In tossing a coin 2 times the sample space is 4 i,e (H, H), (H, T), (T, H), (T, T)
(1) If A1 denotes exactly one head
then A1 = {(H, T) (T, H) }
So, P(A1 ) = 2/4 = 1/2
(2) If A denotes at least one head
then A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H)}
? A = {(H, T) (T, H) (H, H )}
? P(A) = 3/4
