C) 35 cm	D) 50 cm

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 25 cm

Explanation:

Total volume of water displaced =(4 x 50) cu.m = 200 cu.m

Q:

Find the odd man out of the following number series?

222, 271, 308, 332, 348, 357

A) 271	B) 308
C) 332	D) 348

Explanation:

Here the given series 222, 271, 308, 332, 348, 357 follows a pattern that

222

222 + 49 271

271 + 36 = 307 (NOT 308)

307 + 25 = 332

332 + 16 = 348

348 + 9 = 357

Hence, the odd man in the fiven number series is 308.

Q:

Reena took a loan of Rs. 1200 with simple interest for as many years as the rate of interest. If she paid Rs. 432 as interest at the end of the loan period, what was the rate of interest?

A) 3.6	B) 6
C) 18	D) Cannot be determined

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6

Explanation:

Explanation:

Let rate = R% and time = R years.

Then, $(\frac{1200 * R * R}{100}) = 432$

$12 R^{2} = 432$

=> $R^{2} = 36 \Leftrightarrow R = 6$

Q:

If 20 men can build a wall 56 meters long in 6 days , what length of a similar wall can be built by 35 men in 3 days?

A) 46	B) 47
C) 48	D) 49

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 49

Explanation:

Let the required length be x meters

More men, More length built (Direct proportion)

Less days, Less length built (Direct Proportion)

$\begin{array}{r} \begin{matrix} M e n & 20 : 35 \end{matrix} \\ \begin{matrix} D a y s & 6 : 3 \end{matrix} \end{array}\} ⋮ ⋮ 56 : x$

=> (20 x 6 x X)=(35 x 3 x 56)

=> x = 49

Hence, the required length is 49 m.
