---Given : n > 3. and n is an odd number. col a: Product of first n prime numbers. col b: Product of first n whole numbers. Answer : A As whole numbers include 0. Therefore answer will be 0 in col b.

---If the salary of a person X is 130% of salary of person Y. Then what is the salary of person Y in terms of X ??

Ans : X=130% of Y means X=1.3Y; Y=(1/1.3)X; Y=0.7692X

----There are two rectangular solids large and small. If the edges of a small rectangular solid is 40% of the edges of a larger rectangular solid, then Col A: Ratio of volume of smaller rectangular solid to larger rectangular solid Col B: 8/125 Ans : C ---Given that there are 10 balls and 10 bags and 3 balls are of same kind. In how many ways these 10 balls can be arranged in 10 bags, such that no bag should be left empty? Ans : We need to observe that no bag has to be left empty. That means every bag will get one ball each. We need to arrange 10 balls in 10 places with 3 balls being identical. This can be done in 10!/3! --- Last year, 1/4 of factory workers are architects. One year ago 60 workers newly joined in which 50 are architects and no one left the factory since last year and if now 1/3 of factory workers are architects then find the total number of workers? Ans : 1/4*x+ 50=1/3*(x+60) from where we get x= 360 A-Architects, NA-Non architects. 1 year back, A/NA = x/3x Now, (x+50)/(3x+10) = 1/2 Solving you get x=90. Total no. of people currently = (x+50)+(3x+10)=420. --- If it rains on Saturday, then the probability of getting a Concert postponed is 0.95. Col A: If it doesnt rain on Saturday, then the probability of getting Concert not postponed Col B: 0.03 Ans : to know the probability of getting concert not postponed if it will not rain, you need to know the probability of rain. -> D or you consider that if it will not rain, the concert will be done at 100% -> A

--Probability of an event H happening is 0.6 Probability of an event J happening is 0.5 [ they are independent ]

col a: probability of event H happening but J not happening col b: 1/6 Ans : But they have asked for a union b(complement) which would be a+b(comp)a*b(comp) for independent.right?so 0.6 +.5-(.6*.5)= 0.8 Col A: P( Jc) =1-0.5=0.5 P(H or Jc) = P(H) + P( Jc ) -P( H)* P( Jc ) = 0.6 +0.5 -0.6*0.5 =1.1 - 0.3 = 0.8 =4/5 Col B: 1/6 A is greater. Column A: 0.6*0.5=0.30 Column B: 1/6 So, Column A>Column B

So ans is B ---For every month, there is a 10% increase in something which is termed as x. what is the total increase at the end of 7th month? Ans: here it is., p* (1+(r/100))^n

p=100, n = 7, r=10 ---Given : 3 hooks and 5 pictures. Find the number of ways to select 3 picture combinations? Ans : 5p3 but not 5c3........... becoz u can select 3 pictures from 5 pictures in 5c3 ways... nd u can match the selected 3 pictures with 3 hooks in 3!ways.. so total= 5c3*6=60

--- Given : |x|<= 6, |y|<=4. Col a: The maximum value of | y/x | col b: 1 here, 6>=lxl...so, 6>=+x (here, x is a variable having both positive & negative value)....... similarly, 4>=lyl... o, 4>=+y (here, y is a variable having both positive & negative values)..... now, y has a maxim value of 4 but x has no lower limitation... so value of ly/xl can vary

---- Given three numbers m, n and p. If L.C.M of m and n is mn and L.C.M of n and p is np, then Col A: L.C.M of m and p Col B: mp Ans : take 2,3,4 as the numbers... m and p lcm != mp... again for 2,3,5 =mp... so discrepancies D

---If x and y are positive integers and x - y is an even number, then Col A: The remainder when x^2 + y is divided by 2 Col B: 0 Ans : x^2+y => (x-y+y)^2+y => (x-y)^2+2.y.(x-y)+y^2+y

=> (x-y)^2+2.y.(x-y)+y(y+1) all the terms are divisible by 2, so the reminder is O

---Given three vertices of a triangle in X-Y plane as (a, b-3), (a, b) and (a + 5, b-3). Find the area of the triangle? Another solution is , A=(a, b-3) ,B=(a, b) ,C=(a + 5, b-3) then distance AB(X,Y)=(a-a,b-b+3) =(0,3) so height =3 again distance BC(X,Y)=(a+5-a,b-3-b+3)=(5,0) so leg =5 and finally area =3*5/2=7.5

--- If a person A did 1/5th of the some work and another person B did 1/6th of remaining work. Then, what is the work still left? Let , total work is 30 days. so A did 30*1/5=6 days , remaining (30-6)=24 then B did 24*1/ 6=4 days . together A & B did =6+4=10 days . Finally the work is still left =(30-10)/30=2/3 A do 1/5 of the work. So, B do (4/5)*(1/6)=2/15 of the work. Total work done by A and B=1/ 5+2/15=1/3. So, the undone work =1-1/3=2/3. --In a group, 7 out of every 15 students admitted in an university and one of them is absent everyday. If 315 students were admitted last month, then how many students were not absent at all? 315/7=45 ==>315-45=270

Thus Answer will be D 8. Given numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5. What is the probabilty of choosing two numbers at random from the given numbers such that the sum of the two numbers must be an even number? Solution : Indirectly In this question we are asked to find the probability of Finding the probability of two ODD numbers. Because only two odd numbers can give a sum which is even. Thus Sample Space here is 5C2 as we are choosing 2 numbers from 5 = 5*4/2*1 = 10 And picking 2 odd numbers from 3 is equal to 3C2 = 3 * 2 / 2 * 1 = 3 Thus Final probability = 3C2 / 5C2 = 3 / 10 9. Given a series -9, 10, -11, 12, -13. . . . . . . . . . .80, then Col A: The sum of first 27 numbers Col B: -22 Solution : There are many ways to solve this one What I feel best is this: When we add First two terms we get -9 + 10 = 1

Similarly next two terms we get -10 + 11 = 1 So when we added First Four term we get 4 as the answer. When add next two that total 6 we get it as 3 So the rule is When u add n such term the sum will always be equal to n/2 Thus when we add First 26 numbers in the series we will get 13 as the answer and 27 term in the series will be 35 = (27 - (-9) -1(for inclusive))[We subtracted here as it is negative number starting series] and the sign would be negative as all the odd numbers are negative. Thus Finally Sum = 13 + (-35) = -22 Answer C 1. If the retail price is 35% more than wholesale price and if the retailer sells it with a profit of 21% with that of wholesale price, then what percentage of discount did he offer to the customer? let whole price be 100 retail price = 135 hes sellin at 121 discount =135-121/135 * 100 =10.3%
