A) 322 B) 319
C) 321 D) 320
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 320

Explanation:

1 to 300 = 300 numbers
squares btwn 1 to 300 = 1,4,9,16,25,36,49.....289 i.e, total 17
cubes = 1,8,27,64,125,216 i.e, 5
now 1 and 64 are common so total numbers that should be removed ( 17+5-2= 20 )
total 20 term removed so 300th term would be 320

Q:

Navaneet has thrice the money Poonam has and Poonam has 25% more money than Hebah. If the average money of the three is Rs. 350, What is the amount that Navaneet has ?

A) Rs. 175 B) Rs. 220.75
C) Rs. 218.55 D) Rs. 656.25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 656.25

Explanation:

Assume Hebah has Rs. M

Since 25% more money at Poonam

=> Money at Poonam = M + (25% of M)

=> Money at Poonam = M + 0.25M = Rs. 1.25M

Money with Navaneet is thrice the money with Poonam,

=> Money at Navaneet = 3(1.25M) = Rs. 3.75M

Now, sum of all Money = (M + 1.25M + 3.75M) = Rs. 6M

But given the average of the money is Rs. 350

=> 6M/3 = 350

=> 2M = 350

=> M = 350/2 = Rs. 175

=> Amount of money Navaneet has = Rs. 3.75M = 3.75 x 175 = Rs. 656.25.

Q:

 A motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream. What is the ratio between rate of current and rate of boat in still water?

A) 1 : 3 B) 3 : 2
C) 2 : 3 D) 3 : 1
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 1 : 3

Explanation:

Let the speed of the boat in still water is 'w'

Speed of the current is 'c'

Let the distance between two places is 'd'

According to the question, motorboat takes half time to cover a certain distance downstream than upstream.

dw+c = 12dw-c

=> 2w - 2c = w + c

=> w = 3c

=> c : w = 1 : 3

 

Hence, the ratio between rate of current(c) and rate of boat in still water(w) = 1 : 3
