Q:

The sale price of an article including the sales tax is Rs. 616. The rate of sales tax is 10%. If the shopkeeper has made a profit of 12%, then the cost price of the article is :

A) Rs. 560 B) Rs. 530
C) Rs. 500 D) Rs. 514
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 500

Explanation:

110% of S.P. = Rs. 616

S.P. = (616 x 100)/110 = Rs. 560

C.P = (110 x 560)/112 = Rs. 500

Q:

Find the missing number in the given number series?

1 8 36 ? 1100 7701

A) 97 B) 129
C) 164 D) 183
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 183

Explanation:

The given number series is 1 8 36 ? 1100 7701

It follows a pattern that,

 

1

1 x 3 + 5 = 8

8 x 4 + 4 = 36

36 x 5 + 3 = 183

183 x 6 + 2 = 1100

1100 x 7 + 1 = 7701

 

Hence, the missing number in the given series is 183.

Q:

If the mean of a, b, c is M and ab + bc + ca = 0, then the mean of a2+b2+c23 is :

A) M B) 3 M^2
C) 2 (M/3) D) M^2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3 M^2

Explanation:

We have : ( a + b + c) / 3 = M   or (a + b + c) = 3M.

Now. a+b+c2=3M2=9M2 .

 

 

 

<=>a2+b2+c2+2ab+bc+ca=9M2

 

 

 

a2+b2+c2=9M2   ,(ab+bc+ca=0)     

 

 

 

Required mean =a2+b2+c23=9M23=3M2 .

Q:

Find the next number in the given series?

118, 166, 190, 202, 208, ?

A) 211 B) 222
C) 233 D) 244
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 211

Explanation:

The given series is 118, 166, 190, 202, 208, ?

118

118 + 48 = 166

166 + 24 = 190

190 + 12 = 202

202 + 6 = 208

208 + 3 = 211

Q:

Brightness of bulb depends on voltage or current?

A) Current B) Voltage
C) Both A & B D) None
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Both A & B

Explanation:

Brightness of bulb depends on both voltage and current. The brightness depends on power.

Since we know that  Power (P) = Voltage x Current = V I

So whether you increase the current or the voltage the brightness will increase.

 

Example Illustration:

 If you connect a long bulb and a round bulb in series, the long bulb glows but the round bulb does not. Both of them have the same current flowing through them (they are in series) but the long bulb has a greater voltage across it because it has more resistance (even though V= IR is not obeyed exactly, voltage drop does depend on the resistance). If you connect a round bulb and a long bulb in parallel, however, it is the round bulb that is brighter because now the voltage across both bulbs is the same but the current is larger through the round bulb (smaller resistance).

 

Hence, the brightness of a bulb depends on power i.e, both voltage and current.
