Q:

A girl counted in the following way on the fingers of her left hand : She started by calling the thumb 1, the index finger 2, middle finger 3, ring finger 4, little finger 5 and then reversed direction calling the ring finger 6, middle finger 7 and so on. She counted upto 1995. She ended counting on which finger ?

A) Thumb B) Index finger
C) Ring finger D) Middle finger
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Middle finger

Explanation:

Clearly, while counting the numbers associated to the thumb will be 1,9,17,25,.........
i.e., numbers of the form (8n + 1 ).
where n=1,2,3...
Since 1994 = 249 × 8 + 2, so 1993 shall correspond to the thumb and 1994 to the index finger and 1995 to the middle finger.

Q:

What is the total monthly salary of Vasu ? 

I. Vasu's basic salary is Rs 100 more than Rajan's salary who also serves in Vasu's company. 

II. Other allowances drawn by Rajan besides his basic salary are Rs 2000 per month which is Rs 50 less than Vasu's salary.

III. Rajan's basic salary is Rs 1550 per month. 

A) II only B) II and III together
C) I and II together ( D) I, II and III together
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) I, II and III together

Explanation:

From III, we have : Rajan's basic salary = Rs 1550.

From I,   we have : Vasu's basic salary = Rs (1550 + 100) =  Rs 1650.

From II.  we have : Rajan's other allowances = RS 2000

             and Vasu's other allowances = Rs 2050.

Vasu's monthly salary is (1650 + 2050) = Rs 3700.

Thus, all the three statements are required.

Q:

A man has a certain number of small boxes to pack into parcles. If he packs 3, 4, 5 or 6 in a parcel, he is left with one over; if he packs 7 in a parcle, none is left over. What is the number of boxes, he may have to pack?

A) 106 B) 301
C) 309 D) 400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 301

Explanation:

Clearly, the required number would be such that it leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, 4, 5, or 6 and no remainder when divided by 7. Thus, the number must be of the form (L.C.M of 3, 4, 5, 6) x + 1 i.e., (60x + 1 ) and a multiple of 7. Clearly, for x = 5, the number is a multiple of 7. So the number is 301.
