Question : The curved surface area of a right circular cone is 2310 cm$^2$ and its radius is 21 cm. If its radius is increased by 100% and height is reduced by 50%, then its capacity (in litres) will be (correct to one decimal place): (Take $\pi=\frac{22}{7}$)
Option 1: 27.8
Option 2: 28.2
Option 3: 26.7
Option 4: 25.9
Correct Answer: 25.9
Solution : According to the question $\pi rl = 2310$, where $r$ = radius and $l$ = slant height. ⇒ $\frac{22}{7} \times 21 \times l = 2310$ ⇒ $l = 35$ Now, for height($h$): $l^2 = r^2 + h^2$ ⇒ $35^2 = 21^2 + h^2$ ⇒ $h^2
Question : Directions: In a certain code language, FUEL is coded as 50, and JEER is coded as 44. How will FARE be coded in that language?
Option 1: 38
Option 2: 34
Option 3: 40

Question : The number of mobile SIM card owners in the 4 states/UT is given in the bar diagram. Study the diagram and answer the question.
The average number of SIM cards sold in the four States/UT in lakhs is:
Option 1: 51.5
Option 2: 51.25
Option 3: 50
Option 4: 55.25
Correct Answer: 51.25
Solution : The average number of SIM cards sold in the four States/UT in lakhs = $\frac{(20+15+25)+(25+20+15)+(15+20+10)+(10+25+5)}{4}$ = $\frac{60+60+45+40}{4}$ = $\frac{205}{4}$ = 51.25 Hence, the correct answer is 51.25.
Question : Directions: In the following question a series is given, with one number missing. Choose the correct alternative from the given ones that will complete the series. 5, 11, 24, 51, 106, ?
