Answer : 4. "81.5"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 81.5 Explanation: Let the number of students in classes A, B and C be P, Q and R respectively.Then, total score of A = 83P, total score of B = 76Q, total score of C = 85R.Also given that,(83P + 76Q) / (P + Q) = 79=>4P = 3Q.(76Q + 85R)/(Q + R) = 81=>4R = 5Q,=>Q = 4P/3 and R = 5P/3Therefore, average score of A, B, C = ( 83P + 76Q + 85R ) / (P + Q + R) = 978/12 = 81.5

Answer : 1. "(1/2)^11"
Explanation :

Answer: A) (1/2)^11 Explanation: Probability of occurrence of an event,  P(E) = Number of favorable outcomes/Numeber of possible outcomes = n(E)/n(S) ⇒ Probability of getting head in one coin = ½,  ⇒ Probability of not getting head in one coin = 1- ½ = ½,  Hence,  All the 11 tosses are independent of each other. ∴ Required probability of getting only 2 times heads =122×129=1211

Answer : 2. "26.6 days"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 26.6 days Explanation: Arun has completed 13rd of the work in 8 days Then he can complete the total work in 13 ---- 8  1 ---- ? = 24 days But given Akhil is only 60% as efficient as Arun Akhil =124×60100=140 Akhil can complete the total work in 40 days Now, remaining 2/3rd of work can be completed in  1  ------   40 23 ------   ?   = 26.66 days.

Answer : 1. "36 & 90"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 36 & 90 Explanation: the next 2 number in series we need to divide the series into 2 different series First series : 4 , 6, 12, 30 ?? Second Series : 12,18,26, ?? So we need to see for the pattern for those series in order to find the next two number , we can do this by finding the difference or division , multiplication logic whatever may apply :   Pattern of Series 1 :   6 divide 4 : 1.5 Next number i.e 12 divided by 6=2 Next number i.e 30 divided by 12 =2.5 So series is going in multiples of 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 , so on So first series will look like 4 , 6, 12, 30, 30x3 =90   Pattern of Series 2 : 12,18,26, ??   Its simple Adding numbers with iterative logic (i.e 6, 8, then followed by 10, 12) Series will be like 12,18,26,36.   For the next two numbers : Series will be like 4, 12, 6, 18, 12, 26, 30, 36, 90

Answer : 4. "50%"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 50% Explanation: Let the salary of Karthik 2 years ago be Rs.100So, Lucky's salary 2 years ago was Rs.50   Karthik's present salary has seen two 10 percent increases. So as Lucky's salary. So, Karthik's salary 1 year ago = 100 + 10% of 100 = 100 + 10 = 110.Karthik's present salary = 110 + 10% of 110 = 110 + 11 = 121.   Lucky's salary 1 year ago = 50 + 10% of 50 = 50 + 5 = 55Lucky's present salary = 55 + 10% of 55 = 55 + 5.5 = 60.5   Lucky's present salary of 60.5 = 50% of Karthik's present salary of 121.

Answer : 1. "49 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 49 kmph Explanation: Speed of the train relative to man = (125/10) m/sec = (25/2) m/sec. [(25/2) x (18/5)] km/hr = 45 km/hr. Let the speed of the train be 'x' km/hr. Then, relative speed = (x - 4) km/hr. x - 4 = 45 => x = 49 km/hr.
