Ques:- Find out the wrong number in the series:
190, 166, 145, 128, 112, 100, 91
A. 100
B. 112
C. 128
D. 166
Recent Answer : Added by trace On 2022-01-16 17:19:50:

128 is incorrect. There is a difference of multiples of 3 in the number pattern, which starts at 24 and reduces by 3 each time. Therefore the correct pattern would read 190, 166, 145, 127, 112, 100, 91.
this would leave the pattern with differences in the pattern 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9. The next number in the pattern would be 6 lower than 91. 91 – 6 = 85. Then 85 -3 – 82, followed by 82 – 0 = 82. After this, if -3 were taken the pattern would start to rise so 82 – – 3 = 85.

Ques:- X, Y and Z can do a piece of work in 24 days, 30 days and 40 days respectively. They began the work together but Z left 4 days before the completion of the work. In how many days was the work completed?
Recent Answer : Added by serdar On 2021-09-25 16:19:53:

1/24+1/30+1/40=1/10 => 10 days
4/10 = 0.4
1/(24*0.4)+1/(30*0.4) = 0.1875 => 5.33

(10-4) + 5.33 = 11.3 days

Ques:- In a class of 60 students, the number of boys and girls participating in the annual sports is in the ratio 3 : 2 respectively. The number of girls not participating in the sports is 5 more than the number of boys not participating in the sports. If the number of boys participating in the sports is 15, then how many girls are there in the class? (1) Data inadequate (2) 20 (3) 25 (4) 30 (5) None of these
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:03:57:

let no. of boys not participating be x
then the no. of girls not participating = x+5
no. of boys : girls participating = 3:2
given no.of boys participating = 15
therefore, the ratio is now 15:y(say)
then 3:2 = 15 : x
on solving 3/2 =15/y ie.., 3y =30 we get y =10
hence no. of girls participating =10
therefore total no of students paricipating = 15+10=25
total no of students in class =60 given
hence no. of students not participating = 60-25=35
therefore x+(x+5)=35
2x=30
x=15
therfore no of girls not participating =15+5=20
therefore total no of girls in class = no of girls
participating + no of girls not participating
=10+20
=30 is the answer

Ques:- Arun, Kamal and Vinay invested Rs.8000, Rs.4000 and Rs.8000 respectively in a business. Arun left after six months. If after eight months, there was a gain of Rs.4005, then what will be the share of Kamal?
A. Rs. 1780
B. Rs. 1602
C. Rs. 1335
D. Rs. 890
Recent Answer : Added by Muthu Mahesh On 2021-10-25 03:53:35:

Total inversement =20000
Arun and vinay =40% ,40%
Kamal =20%
8 month gain = 4005
Arun and vinay share of 6 months=1201.5
Kamal share of 6 month = 600.75
Now Arun left, then remaining 2 month’s profits =1001.25
In this case kamal have 33.3% and vinay have remaining percentage of 1001.25
33.3% of 1001.25 is 333.4
Now, total share of kamal is 600.75+333.4=934.16

Ques:- You have two jars, 50 red marbles and 50 blue marbles. A jar will be picked at random, and then a marble will be picked from the jar. Placing all of the marbles in the jars, how can you maximize the chances of a red marble being picked? What are the exact odds of getting a red marble using your scheme?
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:01:41:

put 1 red marble in one jar and all the rest (99) in the
other.
This gives you 50% from the first jar (if they pick that
jar they will get red 100% of the time). For the other jar
the chances are 49/99 or 49.494949%. Divide that by 2 and
its 24.7474%. Total odds are 50% plus 24.7474% = 74.7474%

Ques:- A man while going dowm in a escalator(which is miving down) takes 50 steps to reach down and while going up takes 125 steps. If he goes 5 times faster upwards than downwards. What will be the total no of steps if the escalator werent moving.
Recent Answer : Added by Admin On 2020-05-17 12:02:27:

let A goes up and B comes down.
assume A takes 1 step in 1sec.
hence,B takes 5 steps in 1sec.
50 steps ll be moved by A in 50/1=50secs
125 steps ll be moved by B in 125/5=25 secs
hence speed of escalator=(difference of no of
steps)/(difference of time)
speed=(125-50)/(50-25)= 3 steps/sec
hence during upward journey of 50secs by A,total steps=50 by
A and 150 by escalator..total=150+50=200
during downward journey of 25 secs by B,total steps=125 by B
and 75 by escalator..total=125+75=200steps.
ANS:200 steps
