Q:

Please enter the Missing number: 4 8 14 22 ?

A) 28 B) 32
C) 46 D) 36
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 32

Explanation:

Here the given series follows a pattern that,

2- 0 = 4  

3- 1 = 8  

4- 2 = 14

5- 3 = 22

6- 4 = 32

Hence, the missing number is 32

 

 

Method 2 ::

The difference between 4 and 8 is 4, the difference between 8 and 14 is 6, the difference between 14 and 22 is 8. So the next difference between 22 and the next number will be 10 since it follows (4,6,8,10 - add +2 each time)

Hence, 22 + 10 = 32 is the missing number.

Q:

A straight fence is to be constructed from posts 6 inches wide and separated by lengths of chain 5 feet long. If a certain fence begins and ends with a post, which of the following could be the length of the fence in feet? (12 inches = 1 foot).

The fence will consist of one more post than there are chains. (e.g. P-c-P-c-P).

Therefore, a total length has to be a multiple of the length of the chain plus one post (5.5) plus one post extra.We have length = (5.5n + 0.5), where n can be any positive whole number. If n= 3, length =17

Q:

A box contains 90 screws each of 100 gms and 100 bolts each of 150 gms. If the entire box weighs 35.5 kg, then the weight of the empty box is ?

A) 10.5 kgs B) 12 kgs
C) 9.6 kgs D) 11.5 kgs
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 11.5 kgs

Explanation:

Screws weight = 90x100 = 9000gms
bolts weight = 100 x 150 = 15000gms
weight = screws + bolts => 24000 gms =>24 kg
Given entire box weight = 35.5kg
empty box = entire box weight - weight => 35.5kg - 24kg => 11.5kg
so the empty box is 11.5kg.

RYB predates modern scientific color theory, which has determined that cyan, magenta, and yellow are the best set of three colorants to combine, for the widest range of high-chroma colors.
