Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6555

Explanation:

Candidates passed in atleast four subjects

= (Candidates passed in 4 subjects) + (Candidates Passed in all 5 subjects)

= (Candidates failed in only 1 subject ) + ( Candidates passed in all subjects)

= (78 + 275 + 149 + 147 + 221) + 5685 = 870 + 5685 = 6555

Q:

Find the sum of the Arithmetic Series upto 36 terms

2, 5, 8, 11,...

A) 3924 B) 1962
C) 1684 D) 1452
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 1962

Explanation:

Arithmetic Series ::

 

An Arithmetic Series is a series of numbers in which each term increases by a constant amount.

 

How to find the sum of the Arithmetic Sequence or Series for the given Series ::

 

When the series contains a large amount of numbers, its impractical to add manually. You can quickly find the sum of any arithmetic sequence by multiplying the average of the first and last term by the number of terms in the sequence.

 

That is given by Sn = n(a1 + an)2 Where n = number of terms, a1 = first term, an = last term

 

Here Last term is given by an = a1 + n-1d where d = common difference

 

Now given Arithmetic Series is 

 

2, 5, 8, 11,...

 

Here a1 = 2,  d = 3, n = 36 

 

Now, an= a1 + n - 1d a36= 2 + 36 - 13 = 105 + 2 = 107 

 

Now, Sum to 36 terms is given by

 

S36 = 36(2 + 107)2 = 36 x 1092 = 39242 = 1962

 

 

 

Therefore, Sum to 36 terms of the series 2, 5, 8, 11,... is 1962.

Q:

What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following question?

52000 ÷ 40 ÷ 65 × 30 = ? - √400

A) 580 B) 620
C) 720 D) 780
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 620

Explanation:

52000 ÷ 40 ÷ 65 × 30 = ? - √400

(52000 ÷ 40) ÷ 65 × 30 = ? - 20

(1300 ÷ 65) × 30 = ? - 20

20 × 30 = ? - 20

600 = ? - 20

? = 620
