Quantitative Aptitude - Arithmetic Ability Questions

let each side of the square be a , then area = a2 

As given that The side is increased by 25%, then 

New side = 125a/100 = 5a/4 

New area = 5a42  

Increased area= 25a216-a2 

Increase %=9a2/16a2*100  % = 56.25%

Given number series is 12  9  13.5  30.3  ?  341.7

Here the pattern followed by the series is

12 

12 x 0.75 = 9

9 x 1.5 = 13.5

13.5 x 2.25 = 30.3

30.37 x 3 = 91.12

91.12 x 3.75 = 341.71

Hence, the missing number in the sequence is 91.12.

3 pairs of gloves = 2 x 54 = 108 ; 1 pairs of gloves = 36
3 pairs of leg pads = 2 x 36 = 1 pairs of leg pads = 24
3 cricket balls = 2 x 24 = 48
cost of 1 cricket ball = 16;

After solving we get,

62/931.

None of the options satisfy.

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.

In each number except 383, the product of first and third digits is the middle one.

Here the given series 7, 11, 19, 35, ?

follows a pattern that (x 2 - 3) i.e,

7

7 x 2 - 3 = 11

11 x 2 - 3 = 19

19 x 2 - 3 = 35

35 x 2 - 3 = 67

67 x 2 - 3 = 131

Hence the next number in the given number series is 67.
