Question : Directions: Which of the following numbers will replace the question mark (?) in the given series? $96,12, \frac{3}{2}, ?, \frac{3}{128}$
Option 1: $\frac{3}{12}$
Option 2: $\frac{1}{128}$
Option 3: $\frac{3}{64}$
Option 4: $\frac{3}{16}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{3}{16}$
Solution : Given: $96,12, \frac{3}{2}, ?, \frac{3}{128}$
Multiply the previous term by $\frac{1}{8}$ to obtain the missing term in the given series. $96×\frac{1}{8}=12;12×\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{2}; \frac{3}{2}×\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{16};\frac{3}{16}×\frac{1}{8}=\frac{3}{128}$
So, $\frac{3}{16}$ is the missing term in the given series. Hence, the fourth option is correct.
Question : Direction: The pie chart shows the runs scored by five players in a match.

Solution : Runs scored by Yuvraj = 82 If Rahane scored 50% of Yuvraj = 50% of 82 = 41 Runs scored by Kohli, Dhoni and Pujara = 102 + 52 + 76 = 230 Percentage of Rahane to Kohli, Dhoni, and Pujara = $\frac{\text{Runs by Rahane}}{\text{Runs
Question : In a $\triangle $ABC, the bisector of $\angle $B and $\angle $C meet at O in the triangle. If $\angle $BOC = 134º, then the measure of $\angle $A is:
Option 1: 116º
Option 2: 104º
Option 3: 52º
Option 4: 88º
Correct Answer: 88º
Solution : As BO and CO are the angle bisectors of $\angle $B and $\angle $C respectively. ⇒ $\triangle $BOC = 90º + $\frac{1}{2}\angle $A ⇒ 134º = 90º + $\frac{1}{2}\angle $A ⇒ $\angle $A = 2 × 44º = 88º Hence, the correct answer is 88º.
Question : The perimeter of two similar triangles is 30 cm and 20 cm, respectively. If one side of the first triangle is 9 cm. Determine the corresponding side of the second triangle.
Option 1: 13.5 cm
Option 2: 6 cm
Option 3: 15 cm
Option 4: 5 cm
Correct Answer: 6 cm
Solution : Let $\triangle$ABC and $\triangle$DEF be two similar triangles of perimeters P1 and P2, respectively. Also, let AB = 9 cm, P1 = 30 cm and P2 = 20 cm Then, $\frac{AB}{DE}=\frac{BC}{EF}=\frac{AC}{DF}=\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$ [Ratio of corresponding sides of similar triangles is
Question : Three numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6 : 7. If the product of the number is 5670, then the greatest number is:
Option 1: 15
Option 2: 18
Option 3: 21
Option 4: 28
Correct Answer: 21
Solution : Given: Three numbers are in the ratio 5 : 6 : 7. Let the numbers be $5x,6x,$ and $7x$, respectively. The product of the number is 5670. According to the question, $5x×6x×7x = 5670$ ⇒ $x^{3}=\frac{5670}{5×6×7}$ ⇒ $x^{3} = 27$ $\therefore x = 3$ $\therefore$
