Question : Directions: Which term from among the given options can replace the question mark (?) in the following series to make it logically complete? EZ 10, ?, ID 36, KF 49, MH 62
Option 1: HC 21
Option 2: FB 22
Option 3: GB 23
Option 4: FC 21
Correct Answer: GB 23
Solution : Given: EZ 10, ?, ID 36, KF 49, MH 62
Add 2 in the positional value of each letter and add 13 to each number of the previous term to get the next term – EZ 10→E + 2 = G; Z + 2
Question : A sold an item to B at a gain of 25% and B sold it to C at a loss of 10%. If C paid INR 6,520 for it, then the cost price of the item for A was:
Option 1: INR 4,355$\frac{4}{9}$
Option 2: INR 6,125$\frac{1}{9}$
Option 3: INR 4,785$\frac{4}{9}$
Option 4: INR 5,795$\frac{5}{9}$
Correct Answer: INR 5,795$\frac{5}{9}$
Solution : Let, the A pay for the mobile phone be $x$. A sold the item to B at a gain of 25% ⇒ the cost price for B is $x$ + 25% of $x = x+\frac{x}{4}=\frac{5x}{4}$. B sold the item to C at a loss
Question : A sum of INR 10,000 was invested at a rate of 10% per annum for 2 years, compounded half-yearly. Find the compound interest.
Option 1: 2,151.0625
Option 2: 2,055
Option 3: 2,255
Option 4: 2,155.0625
Correct Answer: 2,155.0625
Solution : Given, Principal, $P=\mathrm{INR\ }10000,$ Rate, $r=10\%=0.10,$ As it compounded half-yearly, the time will be 2 × 2 = 4 years $\text{Total Amount, A}=\text{Principal}×(1+\frac{\text{Rate}}{100})^{\text{Time}}$ ⇒ $A=10000(1+\frac{\frac{10}{100}}{2})^{4}$ ⇒ $A=10000(\frac{21}{20})^4$ ⇒ $A=10000×\frac{441}{400}×\frac{441}{400}$ $\therefore A=12155.0625$ Now, Compound interest = Total amount – Principal = 12155.0625 – 10000 = INR
Question : If $a+\frac{1}{a}=8$, then what is the value of $\frac{1}{a^4}+a^4 ?$
Option 1: 4098
Option 2: 3846
Option 3: 3842
Option 4: 4094
Correct Answer: 3842
Solution : $(a + \frac{1}{a}) = 8$ Squaring both sides, we get, ⇒ $ (a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2}) + 2 = 64$ ⇒ $(a^2 + \frac{1}{a^2}) = 62$ Squaring both sides again, we get, ⇒ $a^4 + \frac{1}{a^4} + 2 = 3844$ ⇒ $a^4 + \frac{1}{a^4} = 3844
Question : The value of $\frac{\operatorname{sin} 58^{\circ}}{\cos 32^{\circ}}+\frac{\sin 55^{\circ} \sec 35^{\circ}}{\tan 5^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}}$ is equal to:
Option 1: 2
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 0
Option 4: 3
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $\frac{\operatorname{sin} 58^{\circ}}{\cos 32^{\circ}}+\frac{\sin 55^{\circ} \sec 35^{\circ}}{\tan 5^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}}$ $=\frac{\operatorname{sin} 58^{\circ}}{\cos (90^{\circ}-58^{\circ})}+\frac{\sin 55^{\circ} \cot 5^{\circ}}{\cos 35^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}}$ $=\frac{\operatorname{sin} 58^{\circ}}{\operatorname{sin} 58^{\circ}}+\frac{\sin 55^{\circ} \cot (90^{\circ}-85^{\circ})}{\cos (90^{\circ}-55^{\circ}) \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}}$ $= 1+\frac{\sin 55^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}}{\sin 55^{\circ} \tan 45^{\circ} \tan 85^{\circ}}$ $=1+\frac{1}{
Question : What is the value of 1440 – 200 ÷ 50 × 2 + 3?
Option 1: 1420
Option 2: 1440
Option 3: 1435
Option 4: 1444
Correct Answer: 1435
Solution : Given: 1440 – 200 ÷ 50 × 2 + 3 = 1440 – 4 × 2 + 3 = 1440 – 8 + 3 = 1435 Hence, the correct answer is 1435.
