Q:

If sum of three consecutive numbers is 42 . What will the sum of the digits of middle number .

Answer

Let the numbers be x, x+1, x+2

Then x + x+1 + x+2 = 42

=> 3x + 3 = 42

=> 3x = 39

=> x = 13

The numbers would be 13, 14, 15

Therefore, Sum of the digits of middle number = 1+4 = 5

Q:

A fraction becomes 2/3 when 1 is added to both, its numerator and denominator .And , it becomes 1/2 when 1 is subtracted from both the numerator and denominator. What is the fraction?

Answer

Let required fraction be $\frac{x}{y}$ then

$\frac{x+1}{y+1}=\frac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 3x-2y=-1$ ............. (i)

and $\frac{x-1}{y-1}=\frac{1}{2}\Rightarrow 2x-y=1$ ............ (ii)

Solving (i) and (ii) we get x=3, y=5

$\inline \therefore$ Required fraction = $\frac{3}{5}$

Q:

Simplify

$\frac{1 . 5^{3} + 4 . 7^{3} + 3 . 8^{3} - 3 x 1.5 x 4.7 x 3.8}{1 . 5^{2} + 4 . 7^{2} + 3 . 8^{2} - 1.5 x 4.7 - 4.7 x 3.8 - 1.5 x 3.8}$

A) 6	B) 8
C) 10	D) 12

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 10

Explanation:

Apply $\frac{a^{3} + b^{3} + c^{3} - 3 a b c}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2} - a b - b c - c a} = a + b + c$

Hence the answer is 1.5 + 4.7 + 3.8 = 10.

Q:

Simplify and find '?'

$48 \sqrt{?} + 32 \sqrt{?} = 320$

A) 4	B) 8
C) 16	D) 32

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16

Explanation:

given

$48 \sqrt{?} + 32 \sqrt{?} = 320$

=> $6 \sqrt{?} + 4 \sqrt{?} = 40$

Now squaring on both sides

=> $36 x ? + 16 x ? + 48 x ? = 1600$

=> 100 x ? = 1600

=> ? = 16

Q:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

A) 16	B) 17
C) 18	D) 19

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 19

Explanation:

$17 \frac{4}{7} + 13 \frac{2}{12} - ? = 11 \frac{2}{3}$

$\frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - ? = \frac{35}{3}$

=> $? = \frac{123}{7} + \frac{158}{12} - \frac{35}{3}$

=> ? = $\frac{1476 + 1106 - 980}{84}$

=> ? = 19.07
