Solution with Explanation
Solution 1
+(1*2*3) , + (4*5*6) , + (7*8*9), + (10*11*12)5 + (1*2*3) = 5+6=11
11+ (4*5*6)=11+(120) = 131
131+ (7*8*9)= 131+504 = 635
So 635 + (10*11*12) = 635+ 1320 = 1955
Solution 2
The series follows a pattern of multiplying the number with a prime number and subtracting the same from the resultant after multiplication, prime numbers in descending order starting from 11.*11-11 , *7-7 , *5-5 , *3-3 , *2-2
10 *11-11= 99
99*7-7=686
686*5-5=3425
3425*3-3=10272
10272*2-2=20542
Solution 3
22, 24 , 12 , 8.4 , 9.2, x This series is really simple but doesn’t strikes our minds at once, the pattern is
÷1+2 , ÷3+4 , ÷5+6 , ÷7+8 , ÷9+10
So
22/1+2=24
24/3+4=12
12/5+6=8.4
8.4/7+8= 9.2
9.2/9+10=11.02
Solution 4
77, 28, 64 , 39 , 55 , x77- (72) = 28 ,
28+(62) =64 ,
64- (52) = 39 ,
39+ (42) = 55,
Answer : 55- (32)=46
Solution 5
2 , 4 , 8 , 64 , xThe pattern is * , ( )³ , ( )⁵ , ( )⁷
2 * = 4
4*( )³ = 8
8 * ( )⁵ =64
64* ( )⁷ =512
Solution 6
Solution 7
Clearly, (i) only gives the answerSimilarly (ii) only gives the answer
And (iii) gives the answer
So correct answer is (d)
Solution 8
(iii) gives , speed =200/10 m/s = 20 m/s = 20 x 18/5 = 72 km/hr(ii) gives,time taken = 558/72 = 7 hrs 45 min
So the train will reach city X at 3 p.m.
Hence , (i) is redundant.
Solution 9
(i) SP =Rs. 12350, gain = 23.5 %CP = Rs.( 100/ 123.5 x 12350) = Rs. 10000
(ii) MP = 130% of Rs.10000 = Rs.13000
From (i) and (ii), discout= Rs.(13000-12350) = 650
Discount % = 650/ 13000*100 = 5%
(iii) gives CP = Rs. 10000
So (ii) and (iii) give the answer
Correct answer is e
Solution 10
From statement (i)The names that start with surnames and with C are 10%
With B are 25% - 15% = 10%
i.e. 5% of the names that start with the surnames do not start with B or C , but we also do not know how many of them start with A
Hence we cannot answer this question
From statement (ii)
The names that start with surnames and with B are 10%
With C are 25% - 10% = 15%
Not a single name starts with the surname and the letter A, thus we can answer the question.
Hence E
