Q:

# x = y - (50/y), where x and y are both > 0 If the value of y is doubled in the equation above, the value of x will

 A) decrease B) stay the same C) increase four fold D) increase to more than double

Answer:   D) increase to more than double

Explanation:

The best approach is to pick a number that satisfies the rules that x and y are greater than 0. So for example you could choose 25 for y.

The value of x before doubling is then 25 - 50/25 = 23

The value after doubling y will be 50 - 50/50 = 49, which is more than double.

Q:

7, 16, 36, 78, 144, ?

which number come in place of question mark

 A) 168 B) 196 C) 222 D) 256

Q:

Which of the following is a rational number?

 A) 0.241 B) 1.732 C) 4 D) All of the above

Explanation:

Any number which can be expressed as a fraction of two integers like P & Q as P/Q where Q is not equal to zero.

Every integer is a rational number since Q can be 1.

Hence, in the given options, 4 can be expressed as a simple fraction as 4/1. And all other options cannot be expressed as fractions.

Hence, 4 is a rational number in the given options.

Q:

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is

 A) 1 B) 0 C) -1 D) Infinity

Explanation:

The mutiplicative inverse of a number is nothing but a reciprocal of a number.

Now, the product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is always equal to 1.

For example :

Let the number be 15

Multiplicative inverse of 15 = 1/15

The product of a number and its multiplicative inverse is = 15 x 1/15 = 1.

Q:

25 divided by 7

 A) 3.571 B) 35.71 C) 0.351 D) 0.0357

Explanation:

Here we have 25 divided by 7.

25 will not go directly in 7

Hence, we get the result in decimals.

25/7 = 3.571.

Q:

Which of the following is not a prime number?

 A) 5 B) 11 C) 21 D) 37

Explanation:

A prime number is a whole number greater than 1 whose only factors are 1 and itself.

Factors of 5 are 1, 5

Factors of 11 are 1, 11

Factors of 21 are 1, 3, 7, 21

Factors of 37 are 1, 37.

Hence, according to the definition of a prime number, 21 is not a prime number as it has more than two factors.

Q:

The sum of three consecutive odd numbers is 93. What is the middle number?

 A) 31 B) 33 C) 29 D) 27

Explanation:

Let the three consecutive odd numbers be x, x+2, x+4

Then,

x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 93

=> 3x + 6 = 93

=> 3x = 87

=> x = 29 => 29, 31, 33 are three consecutive odd numbers.

Therefore, the middle number is 31.
