Verbal Reasoning - Mental Ability Questions

Let the total number of workers be x. Then, 

Number of women = x/3 and number of men = x - x/3  = 2x/3

Number of women having children = x/18

Number of men having children = x/3

Number of workers having children = (x/18) + (x/3) = 7x/18

Therefore, workers having no children = x - 7x/18 = 11/18 of all workers.

The given number series is 9 7 10 6 11 ?

Here in this we have two number sequences, they are

9, 10, 11, ... and 7, 6, 5, ...

Hence, the next number in the given number series is 6 - 1 = 5.

Only son of woman's grandfather - woman's father;  Man's brother's father - Man's father 

So, man's father is woman's father i.e woman is the man's sister.

Each term of the series is the product of the preceding two terms
So, 5000 is wrong and it must be replaced by (500*50) = 25000

6th to the left of 17th letter to the right of 7th letter from the left = 6th to the left of (17+7 =) 24th letter from the left = (24-6 =) 18th letter from the left.

Thus, we have to count from the left and we have to find out 18th letter from the left that falls into the second section of English alphabet.

Here, both the first half and the second half of the English alphabet have been reversed and we have to count from the left end, then the required letter can be found out using the formula given below. Suppose , the first and the second reversed sections of the English alphabet are α and  βrespectively.Then,

  The required letter = 2α+β+1-(required position of letter from left side)

Therefore, The required letter = 26 + 13 + 1 - 18 = 22 = V
