Answer : 4. "Data is not sufficient"
Explanation :

Answer: D) Data is not sufficient Explanation: Let the sum be Rs. p, rate be R% p.a. and time be T years. Then,  P×T×(R+2)100-P×T×R100=108  ⇒2PT= 10800  ...... (1)  And,   P×R×(T+2)100-P×R×T100=180   ⇒2PR = 18000 ......(2) Clearly, from (1) and (2), we cannot find the value of pSo, the data is not sufficient.

Answer : 3. "102 men"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 102 men Explanation: From the above formula i.e (m1 x t1/w1) = (m2 x t2/w2) so, [(34 x 8 x 9)/(2/5)] = [(M x 6 x 9)/(3/5)] so, M = 136 men   Number of men to be added to finish the work = 136-34 = 102 men.

Answer : 1. "63 and 49"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 63 and 49 Explanation: Since their HCFs are 7, numbers are divisible by 7 and are of the form 7x and 7y Difference = 14 => 7x - 7y = 14=> x - y = 2 product of numbers = product of their hcf and lcm=> 7x * 7y = 441 * 7=> x * y = 63 Now, we havex * y = 63 , x - y = 2=> x = 9 , y = 7 The numbers are 7x and 7y=> 63 and 49

Answer : 4. "253"
Explanation :

Answer: D) 253 Explanation: The first person shakes hands with 22 different people, the second person also shakes hands with 22 different people, but one of those handshakes was counted in the 22 for the first person, so the second person actually shakes hands with 21 new people. The third person, 20 people, and so on... So, 22 + 21 + 20 + 19 + 18 + 17 + 16 + 15 + 14 + 13 + 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1= n(n+1)/2 = 22 x 23 /2 = 11 x 23 = 253.

Answer : 3. "4312 sq.m"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 4312 sq.m Explanation: Let the radii of the smaller and the larger circles be 's' m and 'l' m respectively.    2πs = 264 and 2πl = 352      s = 2642π and l = 3522π    Difference between the areas =πl2-πs2      = π1762π2-1322π2    = 1762π-1322π     = (176 - 132)(176 + 132) / π     = (44 x 308) / (22/7) = 4312 sq.m
