Q:

In a group of buffaloes and ducks the number of legs are 24 more than twice the number of heads. What is the number of buffaloes in the group ?

A) 6	B) 18
C) 12	D) 24

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12

Explanation:

Let the number of buffaloes be x

and number of ducks be y.

Now, number of heads = x+y

Number of legs = 4x+2y .......(1)

But given that legs = 2(x+y)+24 ......(2)

solving (1) & (2),we get

4x+2y=2x+2y+24

--> x=12.

Therefore number of buffaloes =12

Q:

The minimum number of half years in which a sum of money kept at 60% compound interest will be quadrupled is ?

A) 2	B) 4
C) 3	D) 6

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6

Explanation:

Let us assume Amount be 100 Rs and we calculate in CI

First year 60% of 100 = 60 amount (100+60) is 160

Second year 60% of 160 = 96 amount (160+96) is 256

Third year 60% of 256 =153.6 amount (256+153.6) is 409.6

Here the Amount of 100 Rs is quadrapled in 3 years.

One year contains 2 half years

Three year has 6 half years.

Therefore, It takes 6 half years.

Q:

In a palace, three different types of coins are there namely gold, silver and bronze. The number of gold, silver and bronze coins is 18000, 9600 and 3600 respectively. Find the minimum number of rooms required if in each room should give the same number of coins of the same type ?

A) 26	B) 24
C) 18	D) 12

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 26

Explanation:

Gold coins = 18000 , Silver coins = 9600 , Bronze coins = 3600

Find a number which exactly divide all these numbers

That is HCF of 18000, 9600& 3600

All the value has 00 at end so the factor will also have 00.

HCF for 180, 96 & 36.

Factors of

180 = 3 x 3 x 5 x 2 x 2

96 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3

36 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3

Common factors are 2x2×3=12

Therefore, Actual HCF is 1200

Gold Coins 18000/1200 will be in 15 rooms

Silver Coins 9600/1200 will be in 8 rooms

Bronze Coins 3600/1200 will be in 3 rooms

Total rooms will be (15+8+3) = 26 rooms.

Q:

How many prime numbers exist in $6^{5} \times 35^{9} \times 11^{3}$ ?

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

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 31

Explanation:

Given $6^{5} \times 35^{9} \times 11^{3}$

$\Rightarrow {(2 \times 3)}^{5} \times {(5 \times 7)}^{9} \times 11^{3}$

$\Rightarrow 2^{5} \times 3^{5} \times 5^{9} \times 7^{9} \times 11^{3}$

Thus, there are (5 + 5 + 9 + 9 + 3)= 31 prime numbers.

Q:

How many numbers with distinct digits are possible product of whose digits is 18?

A) 12	B) 8
C) 6	D) 4

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 8

Explanation:

Two digit numbers: The two digits can be 2 and 9: Two possibilities 29 and 92.

Three-digit numbers: The three digits can be 1, 2 and 9 => 3! Or 6 possibilities.

We cannot have three digits as (3, 3, 2) as the digits have to be distinct.

We cannot have numbers with 4 digits or more without repeating the digits.

So, there are totally 8 numbers.

Q:

Three numbers are in the ratio of 3:4:5 and their L.C.M is 3600.Their HCF is:

A) 40	B) 60
C) 100	D) 120

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 60

Explanation:

Let the numbers be 3x, 4x, 5x.

Then, their L.C.M = 60x.

So, 60x=3600 or x=60.

Therefore, The numbers are (3 x 60), (4 x 60), (5 x 60).

Hence,required H.C.F=60
