56% of 870 + 82% of 180 = 32% of 90 + ?

A) 777 B) 666
C) 606 D) 789
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 606

Explanation:

56% of 870 = 56x870/100 = 487.20

82% of 180 = 82x180/100 = 147.60

32% of 90 = 32x90/100

487.20 + 147.6 - 28.8  =  ?

? = 634.8  - 28.8

? = 606.

Q:

311, 230, 294, ?, 281, 256

 

What will come in place of the question mark (?) in the above number series?

A) 240 B) 245
C) 244 D) 246
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 245

Explanation:

Given 311   230   294   ?   281   256

 

311 - (9x9) = 230

 

230 + (8x8) = 294

 

294 - (7x7) = 245

 

245 + (6x6) = 281

 

281 - (5x5) = 256

 

Hence, the missing number in the given series is 245.

Q:

In the following number series only one number is wrong. Find out the wrong number ?

6, 15, 35, 63, 143, 221, 323

A) 143 B) 63
C) 323 D) 35
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 63

Explanation:

Here the series follows the pattern that, product of succesive prime numbers i.e,

 2 × 3 = 6

 3 × 5 = 15

 5 × 7 = 35

 7 × 11 = 77

 11 × 13 = 143

 13 × 17 = 221

 17 × 19 = 323

So here in place of 77 the number 63 is written.

So the wrong number is 63.

Q:

Find the missing number in the given series ?

15, 51, 216, 1100, ?, 46452

A) 5660 B) 6560
C) 6750 D) 6630
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 6630

Explanation:

Let first no. be "k" and multiple be "l"...start value of y with 3
then,
[(k x y) + {l x (l-1)}]
Thus, we get

15 x 3 + 3 x 2 = 51
51 x 4 + 4 x 3 = 216
216 x 5 + 5 x 4 = 1100
1100 x 6 + 6 x 5 = 6630
6630 x 7 + 7 x 6 = 46452

Therefore, the missing number is 6630.
