Kendrika answered
Let the three odd numbers be x, (x + 2), (x + 4) and
The three even numbers be (x + 11), (x + 13) and (x + 15)
Then,
⇔ x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) + (x + 11) + (x + 13) + (x + 15) = 231
⇔ 6x + 45 = 231
⇔ 6x = 186
⇔ x = 31
∴ Required sum :
= (x + 4) + (x + 15)
= 2x + 19
= 2 × 31 + 19
= 62 + 19
= 81

The sum of two even numbers is six more than twice of the smaller number. If the difference between these two numbers is 6, If the larger number lies between 15 to 25 Which is the smaller number?
  • a)
    16
  • b)
    6
  • c)
    24
  • d)
    12
  • e)
    Can not be determined
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Kavya Saxena answered
If 12 is smaller number then larger number is 18
Sum = (12+18) = 30
Twice of the smaller number = 24.
The sum of two even numbers is six more than twice of the smaller number.
Therefore Number 12 satisfy both the conditions.

If three numbers are added in pairs, the sums equal to 11,16 and 23.Find the three numbers
  • a)
    8,6,16
  • b)
    9,2,14
  • c)
    9,5,14
  • d)
    7,2,8
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered
X+y = 11 - (1)
Y+z = 16 - (2)
Z+x = 23 -(3)
Add (1), (2), and (3)
2(x + y + z) = 50
X+y+z = 25
X = 25 – 16 = 9
y = 25 – 23 = 2
z = 25 – 11 = 14

Sum of eight consecutive odd numbers is 656. Average of four consecutive even numbers is 87. What is the sum of the largest even number and largest odd number?
  • a)
    171
  • b)
    191
  • c)
    101
  • d)
    181
  • e)
    179
Correct answer is option 'E'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered
odd numbers — x-8, x-6, x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4, x+6
x-8 + x-6 + x-4 + x-2 + x + x+2 + x+4 + x+6 = 656
8x – 8 =656
x = 83
Even numbers — y-2, y, y+2, y+4
4y + 4 = 87 * 4
y = 86
sum of the largest even number and odd number = 89 + 90 = 179

If the numerator of a fraction is increased by 100% and the denominator is increased by 200%. The resultant fraction is 1 (1/15), What was the original fraction ?
  • a)
    1(4/3)
  • b)
    1(5/3)
  • c)
    1(3/5)
  • d)
    1(3/2)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Given:
- Numerator of a fraction increased by 100%
- Denominator of the same fraction increased by 200%
- Resultant fraction is 1 (1/15)

To find: Original fraction

Approach:
1. Let the original fraction be x/y
2. According to the given condition, (2x/y) / (3y) = 1(1/15)
3. Simplifying the above equation, we get 2x = 5y
4. Dividing both sides by y, we get 2x/y = 5
5. Therefore, the original fraction is 1(3/5)

Answer: Option C (1(3/5))

  • a)
    94
  • b)
    61
  • c)
    72
  • d)
    49
  • e)
    27
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ravi Singh answered
Let number is 10x+y
Then x-y = 5 or y-x = 5
Now given that, 10x+y = 2(10y+x) + 18 Solve, 8x – 19y = 18
Now solve: 8x – 19y = 18 and x-y = 5. In this y = 2, x = 7
And also solve; 8x – 19y = 18 and y-x = 5. In this y come to be negative which is not possible so discard this
So number is 10*7 + 2

A number gets reduced to its two-third when 24 is subtracted from it. Find oneeighth of the number?
  • a)
    7
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    9
  • d)
    10
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Given: A number gets reduced to its two-third when 24 is subtracted from it.

Let the number be x.

According to the given condition, we can write:

x - 24 = (2/3)x

Multiplying both sides by 3, we get:

3x - 72 = 2x

Simplifying, we get:

x = 72

We need to find one-eighth of the number, which is:

(1/8) x 72 = 9

Therefore, the answer is option (c) 9.

When one-fourth of a number is added to 16, it becomes three-fourth of itself. Find the number?
  • a)
    24
  • b)
    32
  • c)
    36
  • d)
    48
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Yash Patel answered
Solution:

Let the number be x.

According to the given condition:

- (1/4)x + 16 = (3/4)x

Solve for x:

- (1/4)x + 16 = (3/4)x
- 16 = (3/4)x - (1/4)x
- 16 = (2/4)x
- 16 = (1/2)x
- x = 32

Therefore, the number is 32.

Answer: B: 32

A number is divided by 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, reminder in each case is one. But the number is exactly divisible by 7. The number lies between 250 and 350, the sum of digits of the number will be
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    7
  • c)
    6
  • d)
    10
  • e)
    Can not be determined
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered
To solve this problem, we need to find a number that satisfies the following conditions:
  1. When divided by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, the remainder is 1.
  2. The number is divisible by 7.
  3. The number lies between 250 and 350.
Let's start by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, which is the smallest number divisible by all of these numbers.
LCM(2, 3, 4, 5, 6) = 60
We need to find a number of the form 7k, where k is an integer, that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 60. The numbers in this sequence can be expressed as 60n + 1, where n is an integer.
Now, let's find the first few numbers of the form 60n + 1 that are divisible by 7 and lie between 250 and 350:
  • For n = 4: 60(4) + 1 = 241 (not divisible by 7)
  • For n = 5: 60(5) + 1 = 301 (divisible by 7)
So, the number we're looking for is 301.
Now, let's find the sum of its digits: 3 + 0 + 1 = 4
Therefore, the sum of the digits of the number is 4.

If 4 is added to the numerator of a fraction it becomes 1/3 and if 3 is added to the denominator it becomes 1/6 then find the numerator and denominator is
  • a)
    5/26
  • b)
    25/4
  • c)
    6/17
  • d)
    5/27
  • e)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Khanna answered
Let the numerator be x and denominator be y 
Fraction will be x/y 
According to the question 
(x + 4)/y = 1/3 
⇒ 3x + 12 = y    ......(1)
Now, 
x/(y + 3) = 1/6 
⇒ 6x = y + 3    ......(2)
Solving both the equations we get 
x = 5 and y = 27 
So , fraction x/y =  5/27

When a number is multiplied by 13 and 13 is added to the product, the resultant is divisible by 5. Find the smallest product possible?
  • a)
    85
  • b)
    130
  • c)
    65
  • d)
    90
  • e)
    105
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Alok Verma answered
13x + 13 which is divisible by 5, or 13(x+1) should be divisible by 5. The smallest value of x = 4 to be put here to make it divisible by 5. So the number is 13(4+1)

Find the least number which must be subtracted from 103876 to make the obtained number divisible by 16.
  • a)
    5
  • b)
    4
  • c)
    3
  • d)
    7
  • e)
    9
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

- Divide 103876 by 16.
- The quotient is 6492 with a remainder of 4.
- To make 103876 divisible by 16, subtract the remainder.
- Therefore, subtract 4 from 103876.
- The resulting number, 103872, is divisible by 16.

Answer: b) 4

x+(1/x) = 2, then find the value of x + (-1/x)
  • a)
    2
  • b)
    1
  • c)
    0
  • d)
    3
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Kishore Kumar answered
The answer given above is INCORRECT .

X+(1/X) = 2 ;

(X^2+ 1)/ X = 2 ;

X^2+1 = 2X ;

X^2 - 2X + 1= 0 ;

By factorisation method ,

X = 1 ;

Now substitute X= 1 in X +(-1/X) ;

we get , 1 - 1/1 = 0 ;

Therefore , X = 0 ;
