Q:

Find the sum to 200 terms of the series 2 + 5 + 7 + 6 + 12 + 7 + ....

A) 30,400 B) 30,200
C) 34,600 D) 38,400
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 30,400

Explanation:

we can treat every two consecutive terms as one.
So, we will have a total of 100 terms of the nature:
(2 + 5) + (7 + 6) + (12 + 7).... => 7, 13, 19,....

 

We know the sum of n terms  nn+12

 

Now, a= 7, d=6 and n=100
Hence the sum of the given series is
S= 100/2 x[2 x 7 + 99 x 6]
=> 50[608]
=> 30,400.

Q:

In a note collection, there is one new Rs.2000 note for every three old Rs.500 notes. 10 more new Rs.2000 notes are added to the collection and the ratio of new Rs.2000 notes to old Rs.500 notes would be 1: 2. Based on the information, the total number of notes in the collection now becomes?

A) 60 B) 30
C) 70 D) 90
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 90

Explanation:

Let 'x' be the number of new Rs.2000 notes.

Given for one new 2000 note there are three old 500 notes.

i.e, 3x


Given 10 more new Rs.2000 notes are added to the collection
and the ratio of new Rs.2000 notes to old Rs.500 notes 


x+103x=12x=20

Therefore, number of new Rs.2000 notes =  x+10 = 30.

old Rs.500 notes = 3x = 60.

Thus, the total number of notes in the collection  = 30 + 60 = 90.

Q:

M, N and O can complete the work in 18, 36 and 54 days respectively. M started the work and worked for 8 days, then N and O joined him and they all worked together for some days. M left the job one day before completion of work. For how many days they all worked together?

A) 4 B) 5
C) 3 D) 6
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 5

Explanation:

Let M, N and O worked together for x days.

From the given data,
M alone worked for 8 days
M,N,O worked for x days
N, O worked for 1 day

But given that
M alone can complete the work in 18 days
N alone can complete the work in 36 days
O alone can complete the work in 54 days

The total work can be the LCM of 18, 6, 54 = 108 units

M's 1 day work = 108/18 = 6 units
N's 1 day work = 108/36 = 3 units
O's 1 day work = 108/54 = 2 units

Now, the equation is
8 x 6 + 11x + 5 x 1 = 108
48 + 11x + 5 = 108
11x = 103 - 48
11x = 55
x = 5 days.

Hence, all M,N and O together worked for 5 days.

Q:

A mother can do a certain job in x hours. Her daughter takes twice as long to do the job. Working together, they can do the job in 6 hours. How many hours does the mother take to do the job ?

A) 3 B) 6
C) 9 D) 12
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 9

Explanation:

The mother completes the job in x hours.
So, the daughter will take 2x hours to complete the same job.

 

In an hour, the mother will complete 1/x of the total job.
In an hour, the daughter will complete 1/2x of the total job.

 

So, if the mother and daughter work together, in an hour they will complete 1/x + 1/2x of the job.
i.e., in an hour they will complete 3/2x of the job.

 

The question states that they complete the entire task in 6 hours if they work together.
i.e., they complete 1/6 th of the task in an hour.

 

Equating the two information, we get 3/2x = 1/6
By solving for x, we get 2x = 18 or x = 9.

 

The mother takes 9 hours to complete the job.
