Logic used: 

5040 ÷ 7 = 720

720 ÷ 6 = 120 

120 ÷ 5 = 24

24 ÷ 4 = 6

6 ÷ 3 = 2

Hence 8 is wrong term in the series.

Solution :

 The series follows the following pattern :

 ⇒ 0 + 2³ = 8

 ⇒ 8 + 3³ = 35

 ⇒ 35 + 4³ = 99

 ⇒ 99 + 5³ = 224

 ⇒ 224 + 6³ = 440

 ⇒ 440 + 7³ = 783

 ⇒ The wrong term in the series will be 7.

 Hence 7 is the correct answer.

Given:

20, 33, 50, 69, 92, 100

the given series follows the following pattern:

20 + 13 = 33

33 + 17 = 50

50 + 19 = 69

69 + 23 = 92

92 + 29 = 121

here; 13 , 17 , 19 , 23 & 29 are prime numbers.

∴ 121 will come in place of 100 and 100 is wrong number in the series.

Logic use:

Difference between the number is power of 3

1106 - 377 = 729

377 - 134 = 243

134 - 53 = 81 

53 - 26 = 27

26 - 17 = 9

17 - 14 =3

Hence 20 is the wrong number in the series

Logic used:

Difference between the number is consecutive multiple of 5 from end. 

47 - 42 = 5

57 - 47 = 10

72 - 57 = 15

92 - 72 =20

117 - 92 = 25

147 - 117 = 30

Hence 110 is wrong number in the series.

Given:

Amount invested by A = Rs. 24000

Amount invested by B = Rs. 30000

Amount invested by C = Rs. 36000

After 6 months B took out Rs. 5000

and after 4 months C took out Rs. 6000

After 1 year total profit = Rs. 10020

Formula used:

Profit = Invested amount × Time

Calculation:

B's remaining amount after 6 months = Rs. (30,000 - 5000)

⇒ Rs. 25000

C's remaining amount after 4 months = Rs. (36,000 - 6000)

⇒ Rs. 30,000

Now Ratio of profit A, B and C 

⇒ (24000 × 12) : {(30000 × 6) + (25000 × 6)} : {(36000 × 4) + (30000 × 8)}

⇒ 288000 : (180000 + 150000) : (144000 + 240000)

⇒ 288000 : 330000 : 384000

⇒ 48 : 55 : 64

Ratio of profit A, B and C = 48 : 55 : 64

Total profit = (48 + 55 + 64) units

⇒ 167 units

According to the question,

167 units = Rs. 10020

⇒ 1 unit = Rs. 60

⇒ 55 units = Rs. 3300

B's share in profit = 55 units

⇒ Rs. 3300

∴ The share of B in the profit will be Rs. 3300.

GIVEN:

Speed of a boat in still water is 90 km/h

He saw another man drowning ahead of 200 m from him and flowing with the speed of stream.

CONCEPT:

We will use relative speed concept.

FORMULA USED:

Upstream speed = speed of boat – stream speed

Downstream speed = speed of boat + stream speed

CALCULATION:

Let the speed of stream be x m/s

→ Speed of boat = 90 km/h = 90 × (5/18) = 25 m/sec

Upstream speed = speed of boat while chasing drowning man = 25 - x m/sec

→ Speed of drowning man = x m/sec

As both are moving in opposite direction relative speed of boat chasing = (25 - x) + x = 25 m/sec

Total distance = 200 m

⇒ Time taken to man reach to the drowning men to help him = 200/25 = 8 sec

Given:

For sum X,

SI = Rs. 2700

Time = 2 years

Rate = 37.5% per annum

For sum Y,

SI = Rs. 4800

Time = 3 years

Rate = 25% per annum

Formula used:

SI = PRT/100

Where P = principal

R = rate

T = time

Calculation:

2700 = (X × 37.5 × 2)/100

⇒ 2700 = 0.75X

⇒ X = Rs. 3600

 4800 = (Y × 25 × 3)/100

⇒ 4800 = 0.75Y

⇒ Y = Rs. 6400

X : Y = 3600 : 6400

⇒ X : Y = 9 : 16

∴ Ratio of both the sum X and Y is 9 : 16

Given

Profit percent = 10 %

Formula:

Loss = CP – SP

Loss% = (Loss/cp) × 100

Calculation: 

Let the CP of the article = 100 Rs.

According to question,

SP = 110% of CP = 110 Rs

Now, CP becomes = 110 Rs

Then SP = 90% of CP = 90 × 110 / 100 = 99 Rs

Loss = CP – SP

⇒ 100 – 99 = 1 Rs

Loss % = 1 × 100 / 100 = 1%

∴ The loss % is 1%

Given:

Length of train = 500 m

Speed of man = 8 km/hr

Calculations:

Let the speed of train be v1

Speed of bike be v2

Length of train= 500 m = 0.5 km

Time taken by the train to cross the man = 40 sec = 40/3600 hr

∴ Speed of train

⇒ 0.5/(v1 – 8) = 40/3600

⇒ 45 = v1 – 8 

⇒ 53 = v1

Now, train takes 20 sec to cross a bike coming from opposite direction

⇒ 0.5/(53 + v2) = 20/3600

⇒ 90 = 53 + v2

⇒ 37 = v2

∴ Speed of bike = 37 km/hr

Number of Bulb Produced = Number of Bulb sold + Number of Bulb Unsold 

Therefore,

Total number of Bulb in store A = (480 + 370) = 850

Total number of Bulb in store B = (740 + 280) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store C = (580 + 440) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store D = (840 + 320) = 1160

From the above table, the total number of bulb in all four store together = (850 + 1020 +1020 + 1160) = 4050

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Number of Bulb Produced = Number of Bulb sold + Number of Bulb Unsold 

Therefore,

Total number of Bulb in store A = (480 + 370) = 850

Total number of Bulb in store B = (740 + 280) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store C = (580 + 440) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store D = (840 + 320) = 1160

From the above table, the number of unsold bulbs from store C = 440

Number of bulb sold by D = 840

Therefore, required ratio = 440 : 840 = 11 : 21

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Number of Bulb Produced = Number of Bulb sold + Number of Bulb Unsold 

Therefore,

Total number of Bulb in store A = (480 + 370) = 850

Total number of Bulb in store B = (740 + 280) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store C = (580 + 440) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store D = (840 + 320) = 1160

Difference between bulb sold and unsold by A = 480 - 370 = 110

Difference between bulb sold and unsold C = 580 - 440 = 140

 

the sum of the difference between bulb sold and bulb unsold by A and C together = 140 + 110 = 250

Hence, the correct answer is option 2.

Number of Bulb Produced = Number of Bulb sold + Number of Bulb Unsold 

Therefore,

Total number of Bulb in store A = (480 + 370) = 850

Total number of Bulb in store B = (740 + 280) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store C = (580 + 440) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store D = (840 + 320) = 1160

 

= From the above table, the total number of sold bulbs in all four stores together = (480+740+580+840) = 2640

= 2640/4 = 660

Hence, the correct answer is option 3.

Number of Bulb Produced = Number of Bulb sold + Number of Bulb Unsold 

Therefore,

Total number of Bulb in store A = (480 + 370) = 850

Total number of Bulb in store B = (740 + 280) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store C = (580 + 440) = 1020

Total number of Bulb in store D = (840 + 320) = 1160

Number of bulb sold by store E = 150% of bulb sold by store A

Number of bulb sold by store E = 150% of 480 = 720

Number of bulb unsold by store E = 50% of unsold bulb by store D = 50/100 × 320 = 160

Total number of bulb store E have = 720 + 160 = 880

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

GIVEN :

Average speed of car = 45 km/hr

Reaches his destination in 8 hours

Total distance = 45 × 8 = 360 km

 

CALCULATION :

Since Vikas also completes the same distance in total 5 hours

⇒ Speed of Vikas = 360/5 = 72 km/hr

Akash and Vikas increase the speed by 5 km/hr and 3 km/hr respectively

⇒ New speeds of Akash and Vikas = 50 km/hr and 75 km/hr.

∴ Difference in time taken by them to reach the destination = 360/50 – 360/75 = 7.2 – 4.8

= 2.4 hours = 2 hours 24 minutes

Calculation:

The weight of Pooja is x and the weight of Vidhi is 2x.

60 kg weight is a 30% increase from the original weight.

Let W be the original weight

∴ 130/100 × W = 60

⇒ W = 600/13

∴ x + 2x = 600/13

⇒ 3x = 600/13

⇒ x = 200/13

∴ weight of Pooja = 200/13 and weight of Vidhi = 400/13

∴ Required equation:

⇒ 120/100 × 200/13 + [(100 + a)/100] × 400/13 = 60

⇒ 240/13 + 400/13 + 4a/13 = 60

⇒ 640/13 + 4a/13 = 60

⇒ 4a/13 = 140/13

⇒ a = 35

∴ By 35% the weight of Vidhi has increased.

Given:

Salary ratio = 16 : 11

A's expenditure = 4/3 of B's expenditure

A's savings = 6000 + B's savings

A's savings = Rs. 12000

Calculation:

Let expenditure of B be Rs. x

A's expenditure = 4x/3 

B's savings = 12000 - 6000 = 6000

A.T.Q

(4x/3 + 12000)/(x + 6000) = 16/11

⇒ 44x/3 + 132000 = 16x + 96000

⇒ 4x/3 = 36000

⇒ x = Rs. 27000

B's salary = 27000 + 6000 = 33000

A's salary = 4/3 × 27000 + 12000 = Rs. 48000

Average salary = (33000 + 48000)/2 = Rs. 40500

∴ The average salary is Rs. 40500

Given:

Ratio of the perimeter of the square and rectangle is 8 : 7

Difference between the length and breadth of the rectangle is 4 cm

Sum of the side of square and breadth of the rectangle is 28 cm

Formula Used:

Perimeter of square = 4 × (side)

Perimeter of rectangle = 2 × (length + breadth)

Calculation:

Let the side of square, length of rectangle and breadth of the rectangle be A, B and C cm respectively.

According to the question,

⇒ (4A) : (2(B + C)) = 8 : 7

⇒ 28A = 16B + 16C

Now,

Difference between the length and breadth of the rectangle is 4 cm

⇒ B – C = 4

⇒ B = C + 4

Then,

⇒ 28A = 16(4 + C) + 16C

⇒ 28A = 64 + 32C

⇒ 28A – 32C = 64 ----(i)

Now,

Sum of the side of square and breadth of the rectangle is 28 cm

⇒ A + C = 28

⇒ A = 28 – C

Putting the value of A in equation (i)

⇒ 28(28 – C) – 32C = 64

⇒ 784 – 28C – 32C = 64

⇒ 60C = 720

⇒ C = 12cm

⇒ B = 12 + 4 = 16cm

∴ Length of the rectangle is 16 cm

Let x be the number of pages in the book.

Number of pages read on the first day = x/4

Number of pages read on the second day = 20% of x = x/5

Number of pages read on the last three days = x - x/4 - x/5 = 11x/20

Given, number of pages read on third day = 66

(1/3) × (11x/20) = 66

⇒ x = 360

Hence, book contain 360 pages.

The initial quantity of milk = 5x

The initial quantity of water = 4x

According to the question,

[5x - {20 × (5/9)}]/[4x - {20 × (4/9)} + 10] = 5/6

⇒ (45x - 100)/(36x + 10) = 5/6

⇒ 270x - 600 = 180x + 50

⇒ 90x = 650

⇒ x = 650/90

x = 65/9

The initial concentration of the mixture = 9 × (65/9)

⇒ The initial concentration of the mixture = 65 liters

∴ The initial concentration of the mixture is 65 liters.

Key Points 

• The adjective 'old' along with its comparative and superlative degrees (old, older, oldest) are used for persons (not blood relation) and things.
• It refers to both age and time.
• The adjective 'old' along with its comparative and superlative degrees (old, elder, eldest) are used for persons only in the case of blood relations.
• It refers to age only.
• Because the given sentence is talking about two twin brothers being elder to their sibling (blood relations), by that logic it is appropriate to use the adjective 'elder'.
• By rule for some comparative adjectives like 'prior, junior, senior, superior, inferior, preferable, elder' are followed by 'to' instead of 'than', therefore the correct answer is 'is elder to'.

 Hence, the correct option is option 2.
