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:

Five farmers have 7,9,11,13 & 14 apple trees respectively in their orchards. Last year each of them discovered that every tree in their own orchard yields exactly the same number of apples. Further, if the 3rd farmer gives one apple to the 1st and the 5th gives 3 to each of the 2nd & d 4th, they would all exactly have the same number of apples, what were the yields per tree in the orchards of the 3rd & 4th farmers ?

A) 17 & 9 B) 9 & 11
C) 9 & 9 D) 11 & 9
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11 & 9

Explanation:

Let the number of apples in each tree of the 5 farmers be a, b, c, d,e respectively. Therefore total no of apples are 7a, 9b, 11c, 13d and 14e respectively.

Given,
7a+1 = 9b+3 = 11c-1 = 13d+3 = 14e-6 = x

9b+3 = 13d+3
===> 9b = 13d
so take b = 13 and d = 9

9b+3 = 9*13+3 = 120
ie, x=120

substituting
7a+1 = 120
7a = 119
a = 17

11c-1 = 120
11c = 121
c=11

14e-6 = 120
14e = 126
e = 9

Yields per tree in the orchards of d 3rd & 4th farmers= 11,9

Q:

A Certain sum of money an amounts to Rs 2500 in a span Of 5 years and further to Rs.3000 in a span of 7 years at simple interest The sum is ?

A) Rs. 1800 B) Rs. 2000
C) Rs. 1400 D) Rs. 1250
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Rs. 1250

Explanation:

2500 in 5th year and 3000 in 7th year
So in between 2 years Rs. 500 is increased => for a year 500/2 = 250
So, per year it is increasing Rs.250 then in 5 years => 250 x 5 = 1250
Hence, the initial amount must be 2500 - 1250 = Rs. 1250
