Question : Find the value of the given expression: $\frac{(4\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{1}{3}\times 1\frac{4}{5}\div 3\frac{3}{4}\times (1\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{3}))}{(\frac{2}{3}\div \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{2}{3})}$
Option 1: $11 \frac{3}{8}$
Option 2: $10\frac{1}{8}$
Option 3: $14\frac{3}{8}$
Option 4: $16\frac{5}{8}$
Correct Answer: $16\frac{5}{8}$
Solution : Given, $\frac{(4\frac{1}{3}+3\frac{1}{3}\times 1\frac{4}{5}\div 3\frac{3}{4}\times (1\frac{1}{2}+1\frac{1}{3}))}{(\frac{2}{3}\div \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{2}{3})}$ Converting mixed fractions to improper fractions, = $\frac{(\frac{13}{3}+\frac{10}{3}\times \frac{9}{5}\div \frac{15}{4}\times (\frac{3}{2}+\frac{4}{3}))}{(\frac{2}{3}\div \frac{5}{6}\times \frac{2}{3})}$ = $\frac{(\frac{13}{3}+\frac{10}{3}\times \frac{36}{75}\times \frac{17}{6})}{(\frac{4}{5}\times \frac{2}{3})}$ = $\frac{(\frac{13}{3}+\frac{68}{15})}{(\frac{8}{15})}$ = $\frac{(\frac{133}{15})}{(\frac{8}{15})}$ = $\frac{133}{8}$ = $16\frac{5}{8}$ Hence, the correct answer is $16\frac{5}{8}$.

Question : Find the sum of the first five terms of the following series: $\frac{1}{1×4} + \frac{1}{4×7}+\frac{1}{7×10}+...$
Option 1: $\frac{9}{32}$
Option 2: $\frac{7}{16}$
Option 3: $\frac{5}{16}$
Option 4: $\frac{1}{210}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{5}{16}$
Solution : This series is in the form of $\frac{1}{(3n-2)(3n+1)}$ where n starts from 1. The difference between the two fractions: $\frac{1}{(3n-2)(3n+1)} = \frac{1}{3} \left(\frac{1}{3n-2} - \frac{1}{3n+1}\right)$ The sum of the first five terms: $⇒S_5 = \frac{1}{3} \left[\left(1 - \frac{1}{4}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{7}\right) + \left(\frac{1}{7} -
Question : The bar graph given below shows the sales of bikes and cars by five companies. P1 = The difference between the average sales of bikes and average sales of cars of all 5 companies. P2 = The total value of the sales of bikes and cars of all 5 companies. What is the value of (P2 – P1)?
Option 1: 5320
Option 2: 4926
Option 3: 6100
Option 4: 5920
Correct Answer: 5920
Solution : Given, P1 = The difference between the average sales of bikes and average sales of cars of all 5 companies. ⇒ P1 = $\frac{900+450+650+800+700}{5}-\frac{400+350+550+600+700}{5}$ ⇒ P1 = $\frac{3500}{5}-\frac{2600}{5}$ ⇒ P1 = 700 – 520 ⇒ P1 = 180 And, P2 = The total value of
Question : Directions: Select the set in which the numbers are related in the same way as the numbers of the following sets. (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.) (56 – 26 – 60) (19 – 8 – 22)
Option 1: (60 – 18 – 21)
Option 2: (35 – 16 – 18)
Option 3: (86 – 36 – 100)
Option 4: (22 – 5 – 23)
Correct Answer: (86 – 36 – 100)
Solution : Given: (56 – 26 – 60); (19 – 8 – 22)
Here, (56 – 26 – 60)→56 – 26 = 30; 30 × 2 = 60 (19 – 8 – 22)→19 – 8 = 11; 11 × 2 = 22
