Answer : 3. "85"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 85 Explanation: Since the numbers are co-prime, they contain only 1 as the common factor.Also, the given two products have the middle number in common.So, middle number = H.C.F of 551 and 1073 = 29;First number = 551/29 = 19Third number = 1073/29 = 37.Required sum = 19 + 29 + 37 = 85.

Q: What value will come in place of question mark (?) in the number - series given below ? 4, 30, ?, 1440, 7195, 71940 1833 0

Answer : 1. "145"
Explanation :
Answer: A) 145 Explanation: 4 30 ? 1440 7195 71940 Here the given series follows a pattern of 4 4 x 10 - 10 = 30 30 x 5 - 5 = 145 145 x 10 - 10 = 1440 1440 x 5 - 5 = 7195 7195 x 10 - 10 = 71940 Hence, the missing number is 145

Q: 9 girls working 7 hours a day can complete a piece of work in 15 day. In how many days can 6 girls working for 9 hours a day, complete the same piece of work? 1833 0

Answer : 2. "17.5 days"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 17.5 days Explanation: Let the number of days be 'p' As the work is same, we know that M1 x D1 x H1 = M2 x D2 x H2 Where M = Men, D = Days, H = Hours per day Here M1 = 9, D1 = 15, H1 = 7 M2 = 6, D2 = p, H2 = 9 => 9 x 15 x 7 = 6 x p x 9 => p = 35/2 = 17.5 days.

Q: In what ratio must a merchant mix two varieties of oils worth Rs. 60/kg and Rs. 65/kg, so that by selling the mixture at Rs. 68.20/kg, he may gain 10% ? 1831 0

Answer : 4. "3:2"
Explanation :
Answer: D) 3:2 Explanation: Let he mixes the oils in the ratio = x : y Then, the cost price of the oils = 60x + 65y Given selling price = Rs. 68.20 => Selling price = 68.20(x+y) Given profit = 10% = SP - CP => 10/100 (60x + 65y) = 68.20(x+y)-(60x + 65y) => 6x + 6.5y = 8.20x + 3.20y =>2.2x = 3.3y => x : y = 3 : 2

Q: The total of the ages of Ashok, Akbar and Anil is 65 years. What was the total of their ages six years ago ? 1831 0
