Find the next number in the series 125, 80, 45, 20, ....

 

Double Difference pattern is followed in the above series. +2, +5, + 10, +17, +26

The value of 4 in 475 means the place value of 4 in 475 and not its face value. Face value means the digit itself though it is at any place in the given number. But place value means the value of digit in its place in the given number.

Here the place value of 4 in 475 can be determined by as 4 is in 100's place in 475.

Hence, the place value of 4 in 475 is 4x100 = 400.

A multiple of a number is the number multiplied by an integer.

The first four multiples of 9 are given by multiying the first 4 integers with number 9.

That is,

9 x 1 = 9

9 x 2 = 18

9 x 3 = 27

9 x 4 = 36

Hence, first four multiples of 9 are 9, 18, 27, 36.

Given, difference of the squares of two numbers is 180.

= k² - l² - 180

Also, square of the smaller number is 8 times the larger.

= l² = 8k

Thus, k² - 8a - 180 = 0

k² – 18k + 10k - 180 = 0

→  k(k - 18) + 10(k – 18) = 0

= (k + 10)(k – 18) = 0

→  k = -10, 18

Thus, the other number is

324 - 180 = l² 

→ Numbers are 12, 18 or -12, 18.

Solution:

5 greater than 4.

Answer: (a)

In the given options,

12/49 can be written as 1/(49/12) = 1/4.083

7/30 can be written as 1/(30/7) = 1/4.285

13/56 can be written as 1/(56/13) = 1/4.307

11/46 can be written as 1/(46/11) = 1/4.1818

Here in the above,

1/4.083 has the smallest denominator and so 12/49 is the largest number or fraction.
