Aptitude and Reasoning Questions

Let the five consecutive odd numbers be x-4, x-2, x, x+2, x+4

According to the question,

Difference between square of the average of first two odd number and the of the average last

two odd numbers is 396

i.e, x+3 and x-3

$$\begin{gathered} ⇒x + 32 - x - 32 = 396 \\ ⇒ x2 + 9 + 6x - x2 + 6x - 9 = 396 \\ ⇒ 12x = 396 \\ ⇒ x = 33 \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the smallest odd number is 33 - 4 = 29.

Given monday population = 3000
Per day 20% increase in population.

Tuesday population = 3000 + 3000x20/100 = 3000 + 600 = 3600

Wednesday population =3600 + 3600x20/100 = 3600 + 720 = 4320

Thursday population = 4320 + 4320x20/100 = 4320 + 864 = 5184

So that day is Thursday.

As the work is same
M1D1 = M2D2

Here Let the number of men employed was M
=> 11M = 7(M+4)
=> 11M - 7M = 28
=> M = 7

Let length, breadth and height of the room be 7, 3, 1 unit respectively.

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(7+3)x1 = 20 sq. unit.

Now, length, breadth and height of room will become 3.5, 6 and 2 respectively. 

Area of walls = 2(l+b)xh = 2(3.5+6)x2 = 38 sq. unit. 

% Increase in the area of walls = (38-20)x100/20 = 90%.

From the given information,

F1M → F is the wife of M
M3K → M is the father of K
Therefore, F is the mother of K.

Let C.P. of each Magazine be Rs. 1

C.P. of P articles = Rs. P. 

S.P. of P articles = Rs. 40.

Profit = Rs. (40 - P)

Now, Gain% = ProfitC.P×100 = 40-PP×100 

Here 40-PP×100= 25

-->P = 32.

  LCD is nothing but Lowest or Least Common Denominator

Here LCD of 12 and 18 means LCD of two fractions with denominators 12 and 18 respectively.

Therefore, LCM of 12 & 18 = 6 x 3 x 2 = 36 

•  How to calculate LCD ::

The lowest common denominator or least common denominator (LCD) is the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators of a set of fractions.
