Question : The value of $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\left[(20.35)^2-(8.35)^2\right] \times 0.0175}{(1.05)^2+(1.05)(27.65)}$ is:
Option 1: $\frac{9}{20}$
Option 2: $\frac{7}{20}$
Option 3: $\frac{3}{20}$
Option 4: $\frac{3}{10}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{9}{20}$
Solution : $\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\left[(20.35)^2-(8.35)^2\right] \times 0.0175}{(1.05)^2+(1.05)(27.65)}$ $=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\left[(20.35+8.35)(20.35-8.35)\right] \times 0.0175}{(1.05)[1.05+27.65]}$ $=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\left[(12)(28.70)\right] \times 0.0175}{(1.05)[28.70]}$ $=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{12 \times 0.0175}{(1.05)}$ $=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{5}$ $=\frac{9}{20}$ Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{9}{20}$.

Question : Directions: Select the option that is related to the fifth number in the same way as the second number is related to the first number and the fourth number is related to the third number. 6 : 125 :: 2 : 1 :: 5 : ?
Option 1: 81
Option 2: 64
Option 3: 68
Option 4: 72
Correct Answer: 64
Solution : Given: 6 : 125 :: 2 : 1 :: 5 : ?
Like, 6 : 125→(6 – 1)3 = (5)3 = 125 2 : 1→(2 – 1)3 = (1)3 = 1 Similarly, for 5 : ?→(5 – 1)3 = (4)
Question : Directions: By Interchanging the given two numbers which of the following equations will be correct? 8 and 2
Option 1: 7 ÷ 2 – 8 × 4 + 1 = 0
Option 2: 2 × 4 – 8 + 5 ÷ 1 = 50
Option 3: 8 × 4 + 6 – 2 ÷ 1 = 6
Option 4: 8 × 4 – 9 ÷ 3 + 2 = 35
Correct Answer: 8 × 4 + 6 – 2 ÷ 1 = 6
Solution : Let's check the options –
First option: 7 ÷ 2 – 8 × 4 + 1 = 0 After replacing the digits the equation becomes – →7 ÷ 8 – 2 × 4 + 1

Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are NOT related in the same way as the numbers of the following set. (8, 13, 21); (13, 18, 31) (NOTE: Operations should be performed on the whole numbers, without breaking down the numbers into their constituent digits. E.g. 13 – operations on 13 such as adding/subtracting/multiplying etc. to 13 can be performed. Breaking down 13 into 1 and 3 and then performing mathematical operations on 1 and 3 is not allowed).
Option 1: (14, 19, 33)
Option 2: (8, 3, 11)
Option 3: (11, 16, 29)
Option 4: (17, 12, 29)
