Q:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

If the first five letters of English alphabet are reversed , so are the next five and so on and last letter is left unchanged then what will be 2nd letter to the left of 17th letter from the right?

A) S	B) G
C) H	D) R

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) H

Explanation:

2nd letter to the left of 17th letter from the right means (2 + 17 = ) 19th letter from the right = (26 - 19 + 1 =) 8th letter from the left end , i.e H. Thus, 8th letter falls into the second section of the reversed sequence. Now, the sequence FGHIJ is reversed and becomes JIHGF. Clearly, position of H remains unchanged. Hence the required letter is H.

Q:

Simplify the following :

$\frac{37^{3} + 35^{3} + 28^{3} - 3 x 37 x 35 x 28}{37^{2} + 35^{2} + 28^{2} - 37 x 35 - 35 x 28 - 37 x 28}$ ?

A) 100	B) 1
C) 4	D) 0

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 100

Explanation:

Given $\frac{37^{3} + 35^{3} + 28^{3} - 3 x 37 x 35 x 28}{37^{2} + 35^{2} + 28^{2} - 37 x 35 - 35 x 28 - 37 x 28}$

It is in the form of

$\frac{a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3 a b c}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - a b - b c - c a}$ = a + b + c

Here a = 37, b = 35 & c = 28

=> a + b + c = 37 + 35 + 28 = 100

Therefore, $\frac{(37)^{3}+(35)^{3}+(28)^{3}-3x37x35x28}{(37)^{2}+(35)^{2}+(28)^{2}-37x35-35x28-37x28}$ = 100
