x – 30 = 1/4 x || *4
4x – 120 = x || -x + 120
3x = 120 || /3
x = 40

Answer is 274 .

Let the required term be x.

Pattern :- 1) Find the difference between consecutive terms as :

2 – 1 = 1

4 – 2 = 2

13 – 4 = 9

31 – 13 = 18

112 – 31 = 81

2) Now write the above numbers obtained by differences in series as :

1, 2, 9, 18, 81, y

(Suppose y be next term after 81.)

3) Look the difference series carefully and it follows the below pattern as :

(9 * 2)/1 = 18

(18 * 9)/2 = 81

(81 * 18)/9 = 162 = y (the next term after 81)

Thus the required answer is :

x = 112 + y

x = 112 +162 =274

speed=mile/hour
.•. time taken to travel M miles is

So, time =distance/speed
=M/m/h
=Mh/m hrs

p=5/6+5/16-5/6
both 5/6’s get cancelled.
so, p=5/16
p=0.3125, therefore (p-1)3 value is (0.3125-1)3= -0.6875*3
=-2.0625.

x:y=18:11

28
to arrange m objects in n places => nCm
i.e. for this example m=2(+,- sign) and n = 8(places between two number from 1 to 9)
SO, answer is : 8C2 = (8*7) / 2 = 28

D also increases
D & T are directly proportional

let original radius=100
original surface area lets say it x =4 * (22/7) * 100 *100
new radius=100 + 50% of 100=150
new surface area lets say it y = 4 * (22/7)* 150* 150
increase in surface area=((y-x)/x) * 100
i.e.
((4*(22/7)*150*150 – 4*(22/7)*100 *100) / (4*(22/7)*100*100))*100
=125
so the answer is 125%.
hope this helps you.

Let 10’splace digit is x and unit’s place digit y

First milestone : 10x+y
Second milestone : 10y+x
Third milestone: 100x+y

Since the speed is uniform so
Distance covered in first Hr = Distance covered in Second Hr
(10y+x)-(10x+y) = (100x+y)-(10y+x)
After solving, we get —-> y=6x but since x and y are digits so only possible combination is x=1 and y=6,
So average speed = 45 KM/HR

800 yards
