Q:

# In an examination, a student scores 4 marks for every correct answer and loses I mark for every wrong answer. If he attempts in all 60 questions and secures 130 marks, the number of questions he attempts correctly, is:

 A) 35 B) 38 C) 40 D) 42

Explanation:

Let the number of correct answers be X.

Number of incorrect answers = (60 – X).

Therefore, 4x – (60 – x) = 130

=> 5x = 190  => x = 38

Q:

Two numbers are such that the sum of twice the first number and thrice the second number is 36 and the sum of thrice the first number and twice the second number is 39. Find the difference between the numbers?

 A) 15 B) 3 C) 9 D) 6

Explanation:

Let the required two numbers be a, b

From the given data,

2a + 3b = 36 .....(1)

3a + 2b = 39 .....(2)

Now, by solving 1 and 2 eqnts, we get

5a = 45

a = 9 ....(3)

Put (3) in (1), we get

2(9) + 3b = 36

=> 18 + 3b = 36

3b = 36 - 18

=> b = 18/3 = 6

Required, difference between the numbers = a + b = 9 + 6 = 15.

Q:

(P - 4)(P - 6)

Simplify the above?

(P - 4)(P - 6)

Now applying distributive property, we get

P.P - 4.P - 6.P + 6.4

P^2 - 10P + 24

Q:

Simplify the following equation

55.55 + 155 + 15.55 + 0.5 + 0.05 = ?

 A) 226.65 B) 196.55 C) 202.35 D) 216.66

Explanation:

55.55 + 155 + 15.55 + 0.5 + 0.05 = ?

55.55

155.00

15.55

0.5

0.05

_______

226.65

_______

Hence, the value of the given equation 55.55 + 155 + 15.55 + 0.5 + 0.05 = 226.65.

Q:

5 + 2 x 10 =

 A) 70 B) 20 C) 25 D) 52

Explanation:

According to BODMAS rule,

After multiplication only, addition is done.

Hence,

5 + 2 x 10 = 5 + 20 = 25.

Q:

Simplify

39.96% of 649.85 $÷$13.07 = 45.14 - ?

 A) 25 B) 26 C) 27 D) 28

Explanation:

This can be easily simplified by Approximation process

Given 39.96% of 649.85 $÷$13.07 = 45.14 - ? can be written as

40% of 650 $÷$13 = 45 - ?

Q:

Simplify the fraction?

5 (2/7) - 3 (1/14) - 2 (1/14) - 1 (1/7) = ? + 3 (1/17)

 A) -4 (1/17) B) 5 (2/17) C) -2 (1/17) D) 3 (3/17)

Explanation:

Given fraction is 5 (2/7) - 3 (1/14) - 2 (1/14) - 1 (1/7) = ? + 3 (1/17)

It can be written as

(5 - 3 - 2 - 1) + (2/7 - 1/14 - 1/14 - 1/7) = ? +  3 (1/17)

-1 + 0 - 3 (1/17) = ?

=> ? = -4 (1/17)

Q:

5 + 2 x 10/2 = ?

 A) 15 B) 35 C) 10 D) 20

Explanation:

Using BODMAS Rule,

First solve division, mutiplication and Addition

So here 10/2 = 5

Then 2 x 5 =  10

Now, 5 + 10 = 15.

Hence, 5 + 2 x 10/2 = 15.
