Q:

 The percentage increase in the area of a rectangle, if each of its sides is increased by 20%

A) 22% B) 33%
C) 44% D) 55%
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 44%

Explanation:

Let original length = x metres and original breadth = y metres.

Original area = xy sq.m 

Increased length  = 120100 and Increased breadth = 120100 

 

New area = 120100x*120100y=3625xy m2 

 

The difference between the Original area  and New area  is:  

3625xy-xy

 

1125xy Increase % =1125xyxy*100= 44%

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.


Everyone expected Mary Zophres to win for her retro-revival Technicolor clothes in La La Land — the eventual winner, Colleen Atwood for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, seemed surprised too. But as other awards began to slip away from the well-reviewed musical, a theme could be teased out. What is Fantastic Beasts if not a plea for equal treatment of people, magical or otherwise? Then, Arrival, a film about the inherent benignity of aliens (read immigrants) won for Best Sound Editing. Hacksaw Ridge, which is, in a way, an anti-guns movie, won in two categories. Fences, about an African-American father who fears racial discrimination, took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Earlier, Moonlight, featuring two minority communities (black and gay), won for Best Supporting Actor. This turned out to be one of those years the Oscar voter was underestimated. As a majority of voters are actors, there was the tendency to think they'd reward La La Land, a celebration of creation: the heroine wants to make movies, the hero wants to make jazz. It looked like the year of The Artist all over again.

 

Which of the following movies is about kindness of Aliens?

A) Hacksaw Ridge B) Arrival
C) Fences D) Moonlight
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Arrival

Q:

What should come in place of question mark (?) in the following number series?

38, 195, ?, 4905, 24530, 122655

A) 980 B) 885
C) 824 D) 1021
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 980

Explanation:

The given series follows the pattern that,

 

×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5,   ×5+5

 

38 x 5 + 5  = 195

 

195 x 5 + 5 = 980

 

980 x 5 + 5 = 4905

 

4905 x 5 + 5 = 24530

 

24530 x 5 + 5 = 122655

 

So the missing number is 980 .
