Q:

A fires 5 shots to B's 3 but A kills only once in 3 shots while B kills once in 2 shots. When B has missed 27 times, A has killed :

A) 30 birds	B) 60 birds
C) 72 birds	D) 90 birds

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30 birds

Explanation:

Let the no of shots be x. Then,

Shots fired by A =(5/8)x

Shots fired by B = (3/8)x

Killing shots by A = 1/3 of (5/8)x = (5/24)x

Shots missed by B = 1/2 of (3/8)x = (3/16)x

(3/16)x = 27 $\Rightarrow$ x =144

Birds killed by A = (5/24)x = (5/24)*144 = 30

11, 5.5, 10, 6.5, 9, ?

A) 6.5	B) 7.5
C) 8.5	D) 10.5

6.5 + 2.5 = 9

9 - 1.5 = 7.5

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 7.5.
