11785.One of the longest sides of the triangle is 20 m. The other side is 10 m. Area of the triangle is 80 m2m2. What is the another side of the triangle?
30
40
60
80
Explanation:

If a,b,c are the three sides of the triangle.

Then formula for Area = (s(s-a)×(s-b)×(s-c))−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√(s(s-a)×(s-b)×(s-c))

Where s = (a+b+c)2=12×(30+c)(a+b+c)2=12×(30+c)

[Assume a = 20 ,b = 10]

Now,

Check the options.

11786.Data Sufficiency Question:a and b are two positive numbers. How many of them are odd?

I. Multiplication of b with an odd number gives an even number.

II.a2a2 - b is even.

b is odd
a is odd
both of a and b are odd.
none of a and b are odd.
Explanation:

From the 1st statement b is even, as when multiplied by odd it gives even

a2a2 - b = even

=> a is even

Here none of a and b are odd.

11787.Mr. T has a wrong weighing pan. One arm is lengthier than other. 1 kilogram on left balances 8 melons on right, 1 kilogram on right balances 2 melons on left. If all melons are equal in weight, what is the weight of a single melon.
500 gm
300 gm
200 gm
100 gm
Explanation:

Let additional weight on left arm be x.

Weight of melon be m

x + 1 = 8 x m - - - - - - (1)

x + 2 x m = 1 - - - - - - (2)

Solving 1 & 2 we get.

Weight of a single Melon = 200 gm.

11788.a, b, b, c, c, c, d, d, d, d, . . . . . . Find the 288th letter of this series.
w
y
z
x
Explanation:

Observe that each letter appeared once, twice, thrice .... They form an arithmetic progression. 1+2+3......

We know that sum of first n natural numbers = n(n+1)2n(n+1)2

So n(n+1)2n(n+1)2 ≤≤ 288

For n = 23, we get 276. So for n = 24, the given series crosses 288.

Ans is X.

11789.If ABC =C3C3 and CAB = D3D3, Then find D3÷B3D3÷B3
72
68
64
62
Explanation:

ABC = C3C3

So, look for a number, that has a 3 digit cube, and the last digit of the cube is same as the number itself:

5353 = 125

So, CAB = 512 = 8383

D = 8 and B = 2

83÷2383÷23

Answer = 64.

11790.There are three trucks A, B, C. A loads 10 kg/min. B loads 13 1/3 kg/min. C unloads 5 kg/min. If three simultaneously works then what is the time taken to load 2.4 tones?
2hrs 10 min
3hrs 15 min
4hrs 10 min
1hr 10 min
Explanation:

Work done in 1 min =10 + 403403 - 5= 553553 kg/min

For 1 kg = 3/55 min

For 2.4 tonnes = 3/55 x 2.4 x 1000 = 130 mins = 2hrs 10min.

11791.If A = $x^3y^2x^3y^2$ and B=$xy^3xy^3$, then find the HCF of A, B
$x×y^2$
$x^3×y^2$
$xy^3×y^2$
$y^3×y^2$
Explanation:

A=$x^3×y^2x^3×y^2$

B = $x×y^3x×y^3$

To find the HCF of the above numbers, take minimum power of x and y in both the numbers.

HCF = Common terms from both A & B and minimum powers = $x×y^2$.

11792.HERE = COMES - SHE, (Assume s = 8)Find value of R + H + O
15
16
18
14
Explanation:

HERE = COMES - SHE

HERE

+ SHE

------------

COMES

------------

E + E = S = 8 => E = 4

3 digit no. + 4 digit no. = 5 digit no. => C = 1 ,O = 0, H = 9 etc

So 9454 + 894 = 10348

10348

- 894

--------

9454

-------

R + H + O = 5 + 9 + 0 = 14.

11793.A person is 80 years old in 490 and only 70 years old in 500 in which year is he born?Sol:
400
550
570
440
Explanation:

He must have born in BC 570

Hence in BC 500 he will be 70 years

And in BC 490 he will be 80 years.

11794.Lucia is a wonderful grandmother and her age is between 50 and 70. Each of her sons have as many sons as they have brothers. Their combined ages give Lucias present age.what is the age?
54
64
62
58
Explanation:

The question basically states that if Lucia were to have say 10 sons, then each son would have 9 sons (Lucias grandsons - since each son has 9 brothers). So the total in this case would be 9××10 grandsons + 10 sons = 100.

Let us assume Lucia has got x sons. Now each son has (x - 1) sons. So total = x + (x - 1) x. For x = 8 we get 64 which is in between 50 and 60. ( 7 x 8 grandsons + 8 sons = 64 ).

11795.A family X went for a vacation. Unfortunately it rained for 13 days when they were there. But whenever it rained in the mornings, they had clear afternoons and vice versa. In all they enjoyed 11 mornings and 12 afternoons. How many days did they stay there totally?
18 days
14 days
16 days
20 days
Explanation:

Clearly 11 mornings and 12 afternoons = 23 half days

since 13 days raining means 13 half days.

so 23 - 13 =10 half days ( not affected by rain )

so 10 half days = 5 full days

Total no. of days = 13 + 5 = 18 days.

11796.Find the unit digit of product of the prime number up to 50 .
0
1
-1
11
Explanation:

Prime number up to 50 are

2,3,5,7,11,...,43,47

Product = 2×3×5×7×11×−−−×43×472×3×5×7×11×−−−×43×47

Theres a term 2×5=102×5=10

So unit digit of product = 0.

11797.HOW + MUCH = POWER Then P + O + W + E + R =
12
14
16
18
Explanation:

HOW

+ MUCH

-------------

POWER

--------------

Here p = 1 and M = 9 because after adding carry bit it gives result 10. Hence O = 0,here three digits 0,1,9 have been used.

Now, put all remaining value in 3rd column and check which value is suitable for H,U and W and we get H = 7,U = 8 and W = 5 and 1 carry which will be added in 4th column.

Now in first column we have W + H = R means 5 + 7 = 2 and 1 carry will add in 2nd column in 2nd column, 0 + C = E,0 + 3 + 1 = 4 so C = 3,E = 4

Therefore,

9837

+ 705

---------

10542

---------

so P + O + W + E + R = 1 + 0 + 5 + 4 + 2 = 12.

11798.Complete the series..2 2 12 12 30 30 ?
54
64
68
56
Explanation:

It follows the series as:

1 x 2 = 2

2 x 1 = 2

3 x 4 = 12

4 x 3 = 12

5 x 6 = 30

6 x 5 = 30

7 x 8 = 56

This is the required number for the series.

34686.The average score of boys in an examination in a school is 71 and that of the girls is 73. The average score of the school is 71.8. The ratio of the number of boys to that of the girls that appeared in the examination is
1 : 2
3 : 2
2 : 2
4 : 2
Explanation:

71.8 = (71x+73y)/(x+y)?


71.8 (x+ y) = 71x + 73y


0.8x = 1.2y


x:y = 12:8 which is equals to 3:2


34687.A completes a work in 2 days, B in 4 days, C in 9 and D in 18 days. They form group of two such that difference is maximum between them to complete the work. What is difference in the number of days they complete that work?
3/14 days
13/2 days
14/3 days
12/4 days
Explanation:

If C and D form a pair and A and B form a pair the difference is maximum.


Now C and D together can complete the work =$\dfrac{9\times18}{9+18}$


A and B together can complete the work = $\dfrac{2\times 4}{2+4}$


Difference = 6 - 4/3 = 14/3 days.


34688.How many 4 digit numbers contain number 2.
3170
3172
3174
3168
Explanation:

Total number of 4 digit numbers are 9000 (between 1000 and 9999).


We find the numbers without any two in them. So total numbers are 8 x 9 x 9 x 9 = 5832


So numbers with number two in them = 9000 - 5832 = 3168


34689.How many three digit numbers abc are formed where at least two of the three digits are same.
262
252
282
272
Explanation:

Total 3 digit numbers = 9 x 10 x 10 = 900


Total number of 3 digit numbers without repetition = 9 x 9 x 8 = 648


So number of three digit numbers with at least one digit repeats = 900 - 648=252


34690.How many kgs of wheat costing Rs.24/- per kg must be mixed with 30 kgs of wheat costing Rs.18.40/- per kg so that 15% profit can be obtained by selling the mixture at Rs.23/- per kg?
14
24
32
12
Explanation:

S.P. of 1 kg mixture = Rs.23. Gain = 15%.


C.P. of 1 kg mixture = Rs.[(100/115) x 23] = Rs.20


Let the quantity of wheat costing Rs.24 is x kgs.


Using weighted average rule = $\dfrac{x\times24+30\times18.4}{x+30}$ = 20


Solving we get x = 12


34691.What is the next number of the following sequence
7, 14, 55, 110, ....?
121
141
101
011
Explanation:

Next number = Previous number + Reverse of previous number


So


7 ,7+7=14, 14+41 = 55, 55+55 = 110, 110+011 = 121
