- Question
- A series of books was published at seven years interval. When the seventh book was issued, the sum of the publication year was 13,524. When was the first book published?
Options- A. 1932
- B. 1942
- C. 1911
- D. 1917
- Correct Answer
- 1911
ExplanationLet us assume the first book published in year x.
According to question,
Books are published at seven years interval,
First edition book published in year = x
Second edition book published in year = x + 7
Third edition book published in year = x + 14
Four edition book published in year = x + 21
Five edition book published in year = x + 28
Six edition book published in year = x + 35
Seven edition book published in year = x + 42
When the seventh book was issued, the sum of the publication year was 13,524.
x + x + 7 + x +14 + x +21 + x + 28 + x + 35 + x + 42 =13524
147 + 7x = 13524
7x = 13524 -147
? x = 13377/7 = 1911
The first book published in year x = 1911 - 1. 198.995 x 12.005 + 16.25 x 6.95 =?

Correct Answer: 2500
Explanation:
? = 198.995 x 12.005 + 16.24 x 6.95
= 199 x 12 +16 x 7 = 2388 + 112 = 2500
Correct Answer: 8

The face value of 8 in 458926 is 8
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation:
Each of the number except 28, is a multiple of 3.
Correct Answer: 4171250
Explanation:
6674 x 625 = 6674 x (5)4
= 6674 x (104/24
= 66740000/16 = 4171250
Correct Answer: 10
Explanation:
As we know that given in question,
ax + by = 6 ........................ (i)
bx ? ay = 2 ........................ (ii)
On squaring the both equation and adding,
a2 x2 + b2 y2 + 2abxy + b2 x2 + a2 y2 ? 2abxy = 36 + 4
? x2 (a2 + b2) + y2 (a2 + b2) = 40
? (a2 + b2) (x2 + y2) = 40
As per given question, x2 + y2 = 40 , Put this value in above equation, we will get
? (a2 + b2) × 4 = 40
? a2 + b2 = 10
Correct Answer: 2/13
Explanation:
Clearly, n (S) = 52, there are 4 kings and 4 queens
? P(E) = n (E) / n (S) = 8/52 = 2/13
Correct Answer: 28
Explanation:
Lat the 4th proportional = N
Then, 4 : 16 : : 7 : N
? 4/16 = 7/N
? 4N = 7 x 16
? N = (7 x 16)/4 = 7 x 4 = 28
Correct Answer: ? 11856
Explanation:
CP = 100/70 = x 6384 = ? 9120
To gain 30%, SP = 130% of 9120
SP = (130/100) x 9120 = ? 11856
Correct Answer: 0.25
Explanation:
(2/3) x (6/8) x (2/3) x (3/4) = 1/4 = 0.25
Correct Answer: 12
Explanation:
Second number = (LCM x HCF) / first number
= (72 x 12)/ 24 = 36
Difference between the two numbers
= 36 - 24 = 12
