Answer : 3. "81"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 81 Explanation: Given the number series is 4, 6, 12, 30, 81, 315. Here it follows a pattern that 4 4 x 1.5 = 6 6 x 2 = 12 12 x 2.5 = 30 30 x 3 = 90 not equals to 81 90 x 3.5 = 315   Hence the odd one in the series is 81.

Answer : 1. "12 days"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 12 days Explanation: It is given that efficiency ratio =3:1 so time ratio will be 1:3 (since work is same)   Also given that time diff = 32 days. ratio difference = 3-1 =2  2 ratio = 32 days 1 ratio = 16 days. So A will alone finish it in 16 days and B will finish it in 16*3 = 48 days.   Total work = LCM of 16 and 48 = 48. Total time = Total work/Total efficiency  ie; 48/4= 12 days.

Answer : 1. "5 kmph"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 5 kmph Explanation: Let p be the speed of man in kmph According to the given data in the question, Distance travelled by bus in 10 min with 20 kmph == Distance travelled by man in 8 min with (20 + p) kmph in opposite direction => 20 x 10/60 = 8/60 (20 + p) => 200 = 160 + 8p => p = 40/8 = 5 kmph.

Answer : 3. "3"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 3 Explanation: When 16nis divided by 9, we have  1619, remainder = 7   1629, remainder = 4  1639, remainder = 1  1649, remainder = 7  1659, remainder = 4  1669, remainder = 1  So, we have cyclicity of 3 factors i.e 7,4,1.  Hence only 3 remainders are possible.
