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. "34"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 34 Explanation: M + Tu + W + Th = 4 x 48 = 192Tu + W + Th + F = 4 x 46 = 184M = 42Tu + W + Th = 192 - 42 = 150F = 184 – 150 = 34

Answer : 3. "66.6 mts"
Explanation :

Answer: C) 66.6 mts Explanation: From above diagramAC represents the hill and DE represents the tower Given that AC = 100 m angleXAD = angleADB = 30° (∵ AX || BD ) angleXAE = angleAEC = 60° (∵ AX || CE) Let DE = h Then, BC = DE = h, AB = (100-h) (∵ AC=100 and BC = h), BD = CE tan 60°=AC/CE => √3 = 100/CE =>CE = 100/√3 ----- (1) tan 30° = AB/BD => 1/√3 = 100−h/BD => BD = 100−h(√3)∵ BD = CE and Substitute the value of CE from equation 1 100/√3 = 100−h(√3) => h = 66.66 mts The height of the tower = 66.66 mts.

Answer : 1. "0.5"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 0.5 Explanation: In mathematics, a geometric progression, also known as a geometric sequence, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed, non-zero number called the common ratio.   Herein the given sequence, 4, 2, 1, 0.5, 0.25, 0.125,... Common Ratio r = 2/4 = 1/2 = 0.5/1 = 0.25/0.5 = 0.125/0.25 == 0.5.
