a)2477
b)2478
c)2467
d)2476
e)none of these

Sol> Suppose unknown value is x

then  
4003 * 77 - 21015 = x * 116
=> (4003 * 77 -21015 )/116  = x
=>(308231 -21015 )/116  = x
=> (287216)/116 =x
=>x=2476

Sol>
 [ (5 √7 + √7 ) * (4√7 + 8√7)] - (19)^2
=[6√7  * 12 √7 ] -  361
= 72 √7 √7  - 361
=72 * 7 - 361
=504 - 361
=143

=>182  * 51 - 6889  =    (x)^2   + (37) ^ 2
=> 9282 - 6889 = (x)^2   + (37) ^ 2
=> 2393 = (x)^2   + (37) ^ 2
=> 2393 =(x)^2  +1369
=>1024 =(x)^2 
=> x=√1024
=>x=32

6) 8737 / 343  * √50 = ?
a)250
b)140
c)180
d)100
d)280

Sol>

8737 / 343  * √50
=>

8737 / 343 = 25.4  (nearly)
√50  =7.0 (nearly)
  
so 8737 / 343  * √50 =177.8 (nearly)

so ans from above options is 180

Suppose unknown value is x
54821^ 1/3  * (303/8) =x^2
=> 37. * 37.8  =x^2

so ans is 37. nearly 38
so ans is 38

 in questions a number series is given.In each series only one number is wrong.Find out wrong number.

11)5531  5506  5425  5304  5135  4910  4621
a)5531
b)5435
c)4621
d)5135
e)5506

Sol>
5531  - 5506 = 25     square root is 5
5506  - 5425  =81     square root is  9
5425  -  5304  =121     square root is 11
5304   - 5135  =169     square root is 13
5135   - 4910  =225     square root is 15
4910   -4621 =289     square root is 17


difference of square roots are same is 2 except first two terms
so the first term is wrong in series
that is 5531



12)A certain amount was to be distributed among A,B, and C in the ratio 2:3:4 respectively, but was erroneously distributed in the ratio 7:2:5 respectively. As a result of this, B got Rs.40 less, What is the amount?

a)Rs 210/-
b)Rs.270/-
c)Rs.230/-
d)Rs.280/-
e) None of these

Sol>

Suppose certain amount is x

then True distribution is (Respectively A,B,C)

(2/9)x , (3/9)x  , (4/9)x 

and  erroneously distribution is (Respectively A,B,C)

(7/ 14)x , (2/ 14)x, (5/ 14)x

 Now, B got Rs.40 less (given)

so  
(3/9)x -  (2/ 14)x = 40
=>(42x - 18x)/126   = 40
=>24x  = 40 * 126
=>x=210

So certain amount is Rs. 210/-


13 )Rachita enters a shop to buy ice-creams ,cookies and pastries. She has to buy at least 9 unit of each. She buys more cookies than ice-creams and more pastries than cookies. She picks up a total of 32 items.
How many cookies does she buy?

a)Either 12 or 13
b) Either 11 or 12
c)Either10 or 11
d)Either 9 or 11
e)Either 9 or10


Sol>
For solving this question, I recommend you to go through options

here,
 No of Pastries >  No of Cookies  >  No of Ice creams

and has to  buy at least 9 unit of each. 

So suppose Ice creams for 9 units, then No of cookies must  >9 so option d) and e) is not possible

Now Suppose    No of Cookies   is         Either10 or 11  then     No of Pastries must >11 , so its smallest value becomes 13

then sum of three = 9 +11+ 12= 32 , which is correct

(If we take cookies for Either 11 or 12 then Pastries>12 then sum is=9+12+13=34 not correct
If we take cookies for Either 12 or 13 then Pastries>13 then sum is=9+13+14=36 not correct)





14)The product of three consecutive even numbers is 4032. The product of the first and the third number is 252.What is the five times the second number?

a)80
b)100
c)60
d)70
e)90

Sol>
 Suppose three consecutive even numbers are x-2 , x, x+2  
The product of the first and the third number is 252  so

(x-2)(x+2)=252
=>x^2 - 4 =252
=>x^2 = 256
=> x=√256
=>x=16

which is second number,

five times of it is =16*5 = 80


15)The sum of the ages of 4 members of a family 5 years ago was 94 years . Today, when the daughter has been married off and replaced by a daughter in law , the sum of their ages is 92 .Assuming that there has been no other chance in the family structure and all the people are alive, what is the difference in the age of the daughter and the daughter in law?

a)22 years
b)11 years
c)25years
d)19years
e)15years

Sol>
The sum of the ages of 4 members of a family 5 years ago was 94 years 
so their sum of recent ages = 94 + 4(5) 
                                         =114

Now the daughter has been married off and replaced by a daughter in law,the sum of their ages is 92

so 
sum of 4 members ages -  age of daughter + daughter in law 's age = 92
=>114 -  age of daughter + daughter in law 's age = 92
=>114-92 = age of daughter - daughter in law 's age 
=> 22= age of daughter - daughter in law 's age 

So,the difference in the age of the daughter and the daughter in law = 22 years





16) Akash scored 73 marks in subject A. He scored 56% marks in subject B and X marks in subject C. Maximum marks in each subject were 150.The overall percentage marks obtained by Akash in all the three subjects together were 54%. How many mark did he score in subject C?

a)84
b)86
c)79
d)73
e)none of these

Sol>

Mark for subject A=73
Mark for subject B=56% of 150 =150*56 / 100 =84
Mark for subject C=X

Now  overall percentage marks = 54%

so 
(73 + 84 +X ) /450  *  100  =54
=>(73 + 84 +X )=243
=>73 + 84 +X=243
=> 157+X=243
=>X=243-157
=>X=86

Marks scored in C=86


17) The area of a square is 1444 square meters. The breadth of a rectangle is 1/4 th the side of the square and the length of the rectangle is thrice the breadth. What is the difference between the area of the square and the area of the rectangle?

a)1552.38 sq.meter
b)1169.33 sq.meter
c)1181.21 sq.meter
d)1173.25 sq.meter
e)None of these

Sol>
The area of a square is 1444 square meters

Now area of square =(side)^2
=>1444= (side)^2
=> √1444=side
=>side=38

Now breadth of a rectangle is 1/4 th the side of the square 

So breadth of a rectangle = 1/4 *38
 length of the rectangle is thrice the breadth = 3 (1/4 *38)

So Area of the rectangle = length * breadth 
                                     = 3 (1/4 *38)  * ( 1/4 *38)
                                     = 270.75 square meters


Now,the difference between the area of the square and the area of the rectangle 
=1444  -  270. 75
=1173.25 square meters
