In each question a number series is given. In each series only one

number is wrong. Find out that number
5.

25/12, 41/20, 61/30, 85/40, 113/56, 145/72, 181/90

a. 25/12
b. 61/30
c. 113/56
d. 181/90
e. 85/40
Solution :- E

The series is (3^2 + 4^2)/3*4, (4^2+5^2)/4*5, (5^2+6^2)/5*6, .

So, 25/12, 41/20, 61/30, 85/42, 113/56, 145/72, 181/90
Hence, it shud be 85/42 in place of 85/40.

b. 156
c. 84
d. 258
e. 584

14, 39, 84 ,156 ,258 ,399 ,584

Solution :- B

The series is 2^3+2^2+2, 3^3+3^2+3, 4^3+4^2+4, 5^3+5^2+5, 6^3+6^2+6, so

on
Thus, 14, 39, 84, 155, 258, 399, 584.
Hence, there should be 155 in place of 156.

a. 9/5
b. 35/13
c. 94/25
d. 341/61
e. 559/85
Answer :- C

9.

The Series Is (1^3+2^3)/(1^2+2^2), (2^3+3^3)/(2^2+3^2), (3^3+4^3)/(3^2+4^2), and so on

The series is 9/5, 35/13, 91/25, 189/41, 341/61, 559/85, 855/113
Hence, there should be 91/25 in place of 94/25
A bag contains 8 red and 6 blue balls. If 5 balls are drawn at random, what is the probability that 3 are
red and 2 are blue?
a. 60/143
b. 50/143
c. 30/143
d. 20/143
e. None Of These
Answer :- A

Using formula,
Probability =( No. of selections with restriction)/(No. of selection without restriction)
= (n1Cr1 * n2Cr2)/ {(n1+n2)C(r1+r2)}

[Selections of red and blue balls are taking place togethr so, these are
multiplied]
Where , n1=8, r1=3 , n2=6, r2=2
Solving Probability = 60/143
10. Two cards are drawn from a pack of 52 cards. Find the probability that both are red cards.
a. 10/102
b. 20/102
c. 30/102
d. 25/102
e. None Of These
Answer :- D
Required Probability = (26C2)/(52C2)
= (26*25)/(52*51)
= 25/102

16. An article was purchased for Rs 78,350. Its price was marked-up by 30%. It was sold at a discount of
20% on the mark price. What was the profit per cent on the cost price?
a. 4%
b. 7%
c. 5%
d. 3%
e. 6%
Answer:- Cost

price = Rs. 78350

Marked price = 78350 * (130/100)= 101855
Selling price = 101855 *( 80/100)= Rs.81484
Profit = 81484 78350 = 3134
Reqd % Profit = (3134/78350) 100 = 4%

17. When X is subtracted from the numbers 9, 15 and 27, the remainders are in continued proportion.
What is the value of X ?
a. 8
b. 6
c. 4
d. 5
e. None of these
Answer:- E

Let x be subtracted from the numbers 9,15 and 27 we get continue proportion.
Now, 9 x : 15 x : 27 x
B^2=ac
(15 x )^2= (9 x )(27 x)
X=3
18. What is the difference between the simple and the compound interest on Rs 7,300 at the rate of 6

a. Rs 29.37
b. Rs 26.28
c. Rs 31.41
d. Rs 23.22
e. Rs 21.34
Answer :- B
Difference = {6+6+((6*6)/100)}-(6+6)
=12.36-12=0.36%
=0.36% of 7300
=26.28

The fare of a bus is X for the five kilometres and 13 per kilometres thereafter. If a passenger pays 2402
for a journey of 187 kilometres, what is the value of X ?
a. Rs 29
b. Rs 39
c. Rs 36
d. Rs 31
e. None of these
Answer :- C

Let the fare of first five kilometers be Rs.X.

Total distance = 187 km
Remaining distance = 187 5 = 182 km
Now, x + 182*13 = 2402
x = 2402 2366 = Rs.36
