Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

From the beginning, the next term comes by adding prime numbers in a sequence of 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13... to its previous term. But 165 will not be in the series as it must be replaced by 166 since 153+13 = 166.

In the given series numbers are arranged following the rule,

55,44, 33, 22, 11

 Therefore, the missing number is 27.

Number of ways of selecting (3 consonants out of 7) and (2 vowels out of 4) = (7C3*4C2) 

= 210. 

Number of groups, each having 3 consonants and 2 vowels = 210. 

Each group contains 5 letters. 

Number of ways of arranging 5 letters among themselves = 5! = 120 

Required number of ways = (210 x 120) = 25200.

Time from 8 a.m. on a day to 1 p.m. on the following day = 29 hours. 

24 hours 10 min. of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock. 

1456 hrs of this clock = 24 hours of the correct clock. 

29 hours of this clock = 24*6145*29 hrs of the correct clock 

= 28 hrs 48 min of the correct clock. 

Therefore, the correct time is 28 hrs 48 min. after 8 a.m. 

This is 48 min. past 12.

The Sum of the digits in each number, Except 324 is 10.

The given series pattern follows

17       9       10       18.5       35       90

× 0.5 + 0.5,   × 1 + 1,   × 1.5 + 1.5,   × 2 + 2,   × 2.5 + 2.5

So here 

17x0.5 + 0.5 = 9

9x1 + 1 = 10

10x1.5 + 1.5 = 16.5

16.5x2 + 2 = 35

35x2.5 + 2.5 = 90

Here the odd man in the given series is 18.5
