Q:

x and y are integers

x + y < 11 , and x > 6

What is the smallest possible value of x - y ?

A) 1 B) 24
C) 4 D) -2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 4

Explanation:

The smallest value will be obtained by giving x the smallest possible value while y gets the largest possible value. The smallest value for x = 7. This means that y will have to be less than or equal to 3 (so that x + y <11), but we want the largest value of y which is 3.

The difference, x - y will be 4.

Q:

Find the odd man out from the given series?

8, 18, 56, 232, 1165 

A) 18 B) 56
C) 232 D) 1165
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 56

Explanation:

The given number series 8, 18, 56, 232, 1165 

8

8 x 2 + 2 = 18

18 x 3 + 3 = 57 (not 56)

57 x 4 + 4 = 232

232 x 5 + 5 = 1165

 

Hence, the odd man in the given series is 56.
