Q:

How many 7 digit numbers can be formed using the digits 1, 2, 0, 2, 4, 2, 4?

A) 120 B) 360
C) 240 D) 424
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 360

Explanation:

There are 7 digits 1, 2, 0, 2, 4, 2, 4 in which 2 occurs 3 times, 4 occurs 2 times.

 

 Number of 7 digit numbers = 7!3!×2! = 420

 

But out of these 420 numbers, there are some numbers which begin with '0' and they are not 7-digit numbers. The number of such numbers beginning with '0'.

 

=6!3!×2! = 60

 

Hence the required number of 7 digits numbers = 420 - 60 = 360

Q:

A F Z U G L T _ 

Find the next letter in the above given letter series?

A) K B) M
C) O D) Q
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) O

Explanation:

Given series is A F Z U G L T _

Starts with A

A + 5 letters = F

go to end of alphabet= Z

Z - 5 letters = U

from F go one more to G + 5 letters = L

from U go one back to U, T - 5 letters = O

 

Second Method ::

Change the letters to their corresponding number.

A=1

B=2

C=3

...

Z=26

A F Z U G L T _

1 6 26 21 7 12 20 ?

Look at the pattern: the 1st and 3rd numbers = 27, 1+26

the 2nd and 4th numbers = 27, 6+21

the 5th and 7th numbers = 27,

so the 6 and 8th would also equal 27.

27 - 12 = 15,

so the letter is O.

Q:

By selling an article at Rs.800, a shopkeeper makes a profit of 25%.At what price should he sell the article so as to make a loss of 25%?

A) Rs.720 B) Rs.640
C) Rs.540 D) Rs.480
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs.480

Explanation:

SP = Rs.800 ; Profit = 25%

 CP = SP x 100100+P% = 800 x 100100+25 = 640

 

 Now, CP = Rs.640

 

Loss = 25% = 25% of Rs.640 = Rs.160

 

Thus, SP = CP - Loss = Rs.640 - Rs.160 = Rs.480
