Q:

The sum of three consecutive multiples of 3 is 72. What is the second largest number ?

A) 27	B) 24
C) 21	D) 42

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 24

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x, 3x + 3 and 3x + 6.
Then,
3x + (3x + 3) + (3x + 6) = 72
9x = 63
x = 7
Largest number = 3x + 6 = 27.

=> Second largest number = 27 - 3 = 24

A) 56	B) 58
C) 62	D) 64

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 56

If we count letters till the end of the alphabet including that letter in reverse order then
Here the values are nothing but the values corresponding to the alphabets when taken in a reverse order,i.e,A=26 ,B=25...,Z=1
G = 20 and O = 12 totaling 32
S = 8, H = 19 and E = 22 totaling 49

So
SOME = 8 + 12 + 14 + 22 = 56.

Q:

What will be the total weight of 10 poles each of the same weight ?

I. One-fourth of the weight of a pole is 5 kilograms.

II. The total weight of three poles is 20 kilograms more than the total weight of two poles.

A) If the data in statement I alone are sufficient to answer the question	B) If the data in statement II alone are sufficient answer the question
C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;	D) If the data even in both the statements together are not sufficient to answer the question

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) If the data either in I or II alone are sufficient to answer the question;

Explanation:

From I, we find that the weight of one pole is (5 x 4) = 20 kg ,and so the weight of 10 poles is 200 kg.

Thus, I alone is sufficient.

From II. we have : (weight of 3 poles — weight of 2 poles) -= 20 kg or weight of one pole - 20 kg.

So. weight of 10 poles 200 kg.

Thus. II alone is also sufficient
