Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

1756

Why this answer is correct

Follow BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the order given below.

Step - 1: Parts of an equation enclosed in 'Brackets' must be solved first, and following BODMAS rule in the bracket -

Step - 2: Any mathematical 'Of' or 'Exponent' must be solved next.

Step - 3: Next, the parts of the equation that contain 'Division' and 'Multiplication' are calculated.

Step - 4: Last but not the least, the parts of the equation that contain 'Addition' and 'Subtraction' should be calculated.

Given expression is

78 × 16 + 285 + 648 - 17 × 25 = ?

⇒ 1248 + 285 + 648 - 425 = ?

⇒ 2181 - 425 = ?

⇒ ? = 1756

Hence, 1756 will come in the place of (?).

19

Why this answer is correct

Solution :

 Concept used :

 Follow the BODMAS rule to solve this question, as per the question is given below:

 Step 1: Parts of an equation enclosed in ' Brackets ' must be solved first and in the bracket,

 Step 2: Any mathematical ' of ' or 'exponent' must be solved next,

 Step 3: Next, The part of the equation that contains 'Division' and 'multiplication' are calculated,

 Step 4: Last but not least, the parts of the equation that contains 'Addition ' and 'Subtraction' should be calculated

 Given :

⇒440 - (34 × 5)   =  ?2 - 91% of 100

⇒440 - (170)  =  ?2 - 91 × 100 / 100

⇒440 - 170 =  ?2 - 91

⇒270 + 91 = ?2

⇒361 = ?2

⇒(19)2×1/2 = ?2×1/2

⇒19 = ? 

Hence 19 is the correct answer.

Question 46

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

April

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Number of accounts opened (in hundreds) in four share broker in various months

Month CompanyJanFebMarchApril
A25283565
B22183230
C30455035
D35424550

 

Calculation:

The month in which total accounts opened is maximum will also have the maximum average

The total number of account opened in Jan = (25 + 22 + 30 + 35)

⇒ 112

The total number of account opened in Feb = (28 + 18 + 45 + 42)

⇒ 133

The total number of account opened in March = (35 + 32 + 50 + 45)

⇒ 162

The total number of account opened in April = (65 + 30 + 35 + 50)

⇒ 180

As we can see the total accounts opened in April is the maximum, so the average will also be maximum (Since the total number of Accounts is 4 in each month so each term will be divided by 4)

∴ The maximum average of accounts opened is in April.

Question 47

RBI Assistant 2023• Numerical Ability

Direction: Study the table and answer the questions given below :

Number of accounts opened (in hundreds) in four share broker in various months

Month CompanyJanFebMarchApril

The number of accounts opened in April is approximately what per cent more or less than the number of accounts opened in Feb ?

  1. AOption (a)

    33.5

  2. BOption (b)

    35.3

  3. COption (c)

    34.6

  4. DOption (d)

    40

  5. EOption (e)

    45

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

35.3

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Number of accounts opened (in hundreds) in four share broker in various months

Month CompanyJanFebMarchApril
A25283565
B22183230
C30455035
D35424550

 

Calculation:

The number of accounts opened in April = (65 + 30 + 35 + 50)

⇒ 180

The number of accounts opened in Feb = (28 + 18 + 45 + 42)

⇒ 133

Required percentage = [(180 – 133)/133] × 100

⇒ (47/133) × 100

⇒ 35.33

∴ Required percentage is 35.33%

Question 48

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

D

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Number of accounts opened (in hundreds) in four share broker in various months

Month CompanyJanFebMarchApril
A25283565
B22183230
C30455035
D35424550

 

Calculation:

Average is directly proportional to the total sum:

The greater the sum, the greater the average is:

The total number of account opened by A in all the month = (25 + 28 + 35 + 65)

⇒ 153

The total number of account opened by B in all the month = (22 + 18 + 32 + 30)

⇒ 102

The total number of account opened by C in all the month = (30 + 45 + 50 + 35)

⇒ 160

The total number of account opened by D in all the month = (35 + 42 + 45 + 50)

⇒ 172

∴ The average number of accounts opened is the maximum in D

Question 49

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

68.62

Why this answer is correct

Given:

Number of accounts opened (in hundreds) in four share broker in various months

Month CompanyJanFebMarchApril
A25283565
B22183230
C30455035
D35424550

 

Calculation:

To take the average is not needed as we can get the answer by total sum only.

The total number of accounts opened of D = (35 + 42 + 45 + 50)

⇒ 172

Average = 172/4

The total number of accounts opened of B = (22 + 18 + 32 + 30)

⇒ 102

Average = 102/4

Required percentage = [(172/4 – 102/4)/102/4] × 100

⇒ [70/102] × 100

⇒ 68.62

∴ Required percentage is 68.62
