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.

Answer: B) 16 Explanation: Let the third proportion to 9 & 12 be 'x'. => 9:12 = 12 :p => p = 12x12/9 = 16.

Answer: B) 30 kmph Explanation: Let the speed of the faster train be 'S' kmph   Then speed of the slower train will be '(S-5)' kmph   Time taken by faster train = 350/S hrs   Time taken by slower train = 350/(S-5) hrs  350s-5 - 350s = 2 hrs 20 min = 213 = 73   => S = 30 km/hr.

Answer: C) 117 Explanation: Number of square units in 13 by 9 is given by the area it forms with length and breadth as 13 & 9 Area = 13 x 9 = 117   Hence, number of square units in 13 by 9 is 117 sq.units.

Answer: D) 432 Explanation: There are 600 Kabaddi players4% wear knee band on one legRemaining players = 600 x 0.96 = 576Of the remaining, 25% wear knee bands on both leg and Of the remaining, 75% do not wear knee bands .So players not wearing knee bands = 0.75 x 576 = 576 x 3/4 = 144 x 3 = 432.

Answer: D) 14 cm Explanation: Circular piece is 4 x 11 = 44 cm long, Then Circumference of circle is given by, 44 = pi x D, where D is the diameter D = 44 / pi Take pi = 22 / 7, then D = 44 / (22/7) = (44 x 7) / 22 D = 14 cm.

Answer: B) 150 Explanation: Half of the cloth = 37.5/2 From 1 meter he will make 8 pieces=> in 37.5/2 ---- ? 37.5/2 x 8 = 150.

Answer: D) 10 Explanation: Let Rajeev's present age be  x years. Rajeev's age after 15 years = (x + 15) years. Rajeev's age 5 years back = (x - 5) years Then ATQ,  x + 15 = 5 (x - 5) x + 15 = 5x - 25 => x = 10   Hence, Rajeev's present age = x = 10 years.
