Q:

The difference between two numbers is 25. The smaller number is 1/6th of the larger number. What is the value of the smaller number?

A) 10 B) 5
C) 50 D) 25
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

Let the larger number be p

Then, smaller number = 1/6 x p = p/6

Given difference between two numbers = 25

p - p/6 = 25

5p/6 = 25

5p = 150

p = 30

Then, p/6 = 30/6 = 5

Hence, larger number = 30 and smaller number = 5 which makes the difference = 25.

Courses of action:
a. The evaluation system of XII Std. terminal examination should be made more tough so that fewer students pass the examination.
b. The Government should encourage the private sector to open new colleges by providing them land at cheaper rate.

A) only a and b follows B) Only c follows
C) Only b follows D) All a, b & c follows
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Only b follows

Explanation:

Clearly, reducing the number of aspirants for admission to colleges or sending the students of well-to-do families to foreign countries for higher studies, is no proper solution. So, both I and III do not follow. The right solution is to increase the number of colleges so as t accommodate the increasing number of admission-seekers. So, only II follows.
