Q:

A bird lover was asked how many birds he had in the basket. He replied that there were all parrots but six, all pigeons but six, and all koel but six. How many birds he had in the basket in all ?

A) 8 B) 18
C) 9 D) 10
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9

Explanation:

There were all parrots but six means that six birds were not parrots but only pigeons and koels.

Similarly, number of parrots + number of koels = 6 and number of parrots + number of pigeons = 6.

This is possible when there are 3 parrots, 3 pigeons and 3 koels i.e. 9 birds in all.

Q:

A girl counted in the following way on the fingers of her left hand : She started by calling the thumb 1, the index finger 2, middle finger 3, ring finger 4, little finger 5 and then reversed direction calling the ring finger 6, middle finger 7 and so on. She counted upto 1995. She ended counting on which finger ?

A) Thumb B) Index finger
C) Ring finger D) Middle finger
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Middle finger

Explanation:

Clearly, while counting the numbers associated to the thumb will be 1,9,17,25,.........
i.e., numbers of the form (8n + 1 ).
where n=1,2,3...
Since 1994 = 249 × 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index finger and 1995 to the middle finger.

Q:

A man has a certain number of small boxes to pack into parcles. If he packs 3, 4, 5 or 6 in a parcel, he is left with one over; if he packs 7 in a parcle, none is left over. What is the number of boxes, he may have to pack?

A) 106 B) 301
C) 309 D) 400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 301

Explanation:

Clearly, the required number would be such that it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, 4, 5, or 6 and no remainder when divided by 7. Thus, the number must be of the form (L.C.M of 3, 4, 5, 6) x + 1 i.e., (60x + 1 ) and a multiple of 7. Clearly, for x = 5, the number is a multiple of 7. So the number is 301.
