Find the odd man out of the following number series?

1/2, 1, 3/2, 6, 5/2, 3

A) 1 B) 6
C) 5/2 D) 3/2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6

Explanation:

The given series is 1/2, 1, 3/2, 6, 5/2, 3

1/2

1/2 + 1/2 = 1

1 + 1/2 = 3/2

3/2 + 1/2 = 2 (Not 6)

2 + 1/2 = 5/2

5/2 + 1/2 = 3

 

Hence, the odd man in the given number series is 6.

Q:

The H.C.F and L.C.M of two numbers are 11 and 385 respectively. If one number lies between 75 and 125 , then that number is

A) 77 B) 88
C) 99 D) 110
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 77

Explanation:

Product of numbers = 11 x 385 = 4235

 

Let the numbers be 11a and 11b . Then , 11a x 11b = 4235  =>  ab = 35

 

Now, co-primes with product  35 are (1,35) and (5,7)

 

So, the numbers are ( 11 x 1, 11 x 35)  and (11 x 5, 11 x 7)

 

Since one number lies 75 and 125, the suitable pair is  (55,77)

 

Hence , required number = 77

Q:

4 men can repair a road in 7 hours. How many men are required to repair the road in 2 hours ?

A) 17 men B) 14 men
C) 13 men D) 16 men
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 14 men

Explanation:

M x T / W = Constant
where, M= Men (no. of men)
T= Time taken
W= Work load
So, here we apply
M1 x T1/ W1 = M2 x T2 / W2
Given that, M1 = 4 men, T1 = 7 hours ; T2 = 2 hours, we have to find M2 =?
Note that here, W1 = W2 = 1 road, ie. equal work load.
Clearly, substituting in the above equation we get, M2 = 14 men.
