Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Let the number  be 476ab0 

476ab0 is divisible by 3 

=> 4 + 7 + 6 + a + b + 0 is divisible by 3

=> 17 + a + b is divisible by 3 ------------------------(i)

476ab0 is divisible by 11

[(4 + 6 + b) -(7 + a + 0)] is 0 or divisible by 11

=> [3 + (b - a)] is 0 or divisible by 11  --------------(ii)

Substitute the values of a and b with the values given in the choices and select the values which satisfies both Equation 1 and Equation 2.

if a=6 and b=2, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 6 + 2 = 25 which is not divisible by 3 --- Does not meet equation(i).Hence this is not the answer

if a=8 and b=2, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 8 + 2 = 27 which is divisible by 3 --- Meet equation(i)

[3 + (b - a)] = [3 + (2 - 8)] = -3 which is neither 0 nor divisible by 11---Does not meet equation(ii).Hence this is not the answer

if a=6 and b=5, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 6 + 5 = 28 which is not divisible by 3 --- Does not meet equation (i) .Hence this is not the answer

if a=8 and b=5, 

17 + a + b = 17 + 8 + 5 = 30 which is divisible by 3 --- Meet equation 1

[3 + (b - a)] = [3 + (5 - 8)] = 0 ---Meet equation 2

Since these values satisfies both equation 1 and equation 2, this is the answer

Suppose Y invested Rs. y. Then 40000/y = 2/3 or y = 60000 .

Here the first two words are synonyms. Similarly, Eyrie means a large nest. So, the synonym of Eyrie is nest.

Hence, Convent : Cloister :: Eyrie : Nest.

SP2 = 2/3 SP1
CP = 100
SP2 = 80
2/3 SP1 = 80

SP1 = 120
100 --- 20   => 20%
