Q:

The sum of 3rd and 15th elements of an arithmetic progression is equal to the sum of 6th, 11th and 13th elements of the same progression. Then which element of the series should necessarily be equal to zero ?

A) 14th element B) 9th element
C) 12th element D) 7th element
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 12th element

Explanation:

If we consider the third term to be ‘x”
The 15th term will be (x + 12d)
6th term will be (x + 3d)
11th term will be (x + 8d) and
13th term will be (x + 10d).
Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.
x + 9d will be the 12th term.

Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.

Q:

A son and father goes for boating in river upstream . After rowing for 1 mile son notices the hat of his father falling in the river. After 5 min he tells his father that his hat has fallen. So they turn round and are able to pick the hat at the point from where they began boating after 5min. Find the speed of river  in miles/hours ?

A) 4 mile/hr B) 6 mile/hr
C) 2 mile/hr D) 5 mile/hr
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 6 mile/hr

Explanation:

Let the speed of river and boat be 'r' m/min and 'b' m/min.
so relative speed in upstream (b-r)m/min and in downstream (b+r)m/min.
Now in upstream distnce covered in 5 min is 5(b-r)miles
so total distnce covered => 1 + 5(b-r)miles in upstream
In downstream distance covered in 5min is 5(b+r)miles
Now 1 + 5(b-r) = 5(b+r)
1+5b-5r = 5b+5r
1 = 10r
r = 1/10 mile/min => 6 mile/hr.

Q:

There are 100 students in 3 sections A, B and C of a class. The average marks of all the three sections was 84. The average of B and C was 87.5 and the average marks of students in A section was :

A) 20 B) 35
C) 54 D) 40
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 20

Explanation:

Numbers of students in section A = x
∴ Numbers of students in section B and C = (100 – x)
∴ x 70 + (100 – x) 87.5 = 84 100
=> 70x + 87.5 100 – 87.5x = 8400
=> 8750 – 17.5x = 8400
=> 17.5x = 8750 – 8400 => x = 20.
