Answer : 2. "210"
Explanation :
Answer: B) 210 Explanation: Let the required number be 'p' We know, sum of angles in a triangle are 180 deg According to given data, p - p/7 = 180 7p - p = 180 x 7 => 6p = 1260 => p = 1260/6 = 210

Answer : 3. "(p + 4) times"
Explanation :
Answer: C) (p + 4) times Explanation: Let the two no's be a and b;Given product of the no's is p = ab;If the each nos is increased by 2 then the new product will be (a+2)(b+2) = ab + 2a + 2b + 4= ab + 2(a+b) + 4= p + 2(a+b) + 4Hence the new product is (p+4) times greater than twice the sum of the two original numbers.

Answer : 4. "Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient Explanation: Let distance between A & B = d kmLet speed in still water = x kmphLet speed of current = y kmph from the given data,d/x = 2 From A) we get dFrom B) we get d/x+yFrom C) we get y So, Any one pair of A and B, B and C or C and A is sufficient to give the answer i.e, the speed of upstream.
Q: If the sum of two numbers is 55 and the H.C.F. and L.C.M. of these numbers are 5 and 120 respectively, then the sum of the reciprocals of the numbers is equal to ? 2407 05b5cc728e4d2b4197774f6c8

Answer : 3. "11/120"
Explanation :
Answer: C) 11/120 Explanation: Let the numbers be a and b.We know that product of two numbers = Product of their HCF and LCMThen, a + b = 55 and ab = 5 x 120 = 600.=> The required sum = (1/a) + (1/b) = (a+b)/ab=55/600 = 11/120
