A cone and a cylinder have the same base radius and the same height. What is the ratio of the volume of the cone to the volume of the cylinder?
1:2
1:3
1:4
1:6
Correct answer
1:3
Why this answer is correct
Given: A cone and a cylinder have the same base radius (r) and the same height (h).
Formulas:
Volume of cone = (1/3) × π × r² × h
Volume of cylinder = π × r² × h
Now find the ratio:
Volume of cone : Volume of cylinder
= (1/3 × π × r² × h) : (π × r² × h)
= 1 : 3
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

BODMAS Table:
Given equation: 6 + 2 − 4 × 2 ÷ 1 = ?
Now, if the operations are interchanged as: + → ×, − → ÷, × → −, ÷ → +, then:
⇒ 6 × 2 ÷ 4 − 2 + 1 = ?
⇒ 12 ÷ 4 − 2 + 1 = ?
⇒ 3 − 2 + 1 = ?
⇒ 1 + 1 = 2
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".
The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 4. What is the product of the numbers?
390
396
400
404
Correct answer
396
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Sum of two numbers = 40
Difference of the numbers = 4
Let the numbers be a and b.
a + b = 40
a − b = 4
Add the two equations:
(a + b) + (a − b) = 40 + 4
2a = 44
a = 22
Now,
b = 40 − 22 = 18
Product of the numbers:
22 × 18 = 396
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.

Find the smallest number which, when divided by 6, 8, and 10, leaves a remainder of 5 in each case.
75
125
865
475
Correct answer
125
Why this answer is correct
Given:
A number when divided by 6, 8 and 10 leaves a remainder 5 in each case.
Logic:
Required number − 5 must be divisible by 6, 8 and 10.
Find LCM of 6, 8 and 10:
6 = 2 × 3
8 = 2³
10 = 2 × 5
LCM = 2³ × 3 × 5 = 120
So, Required number = 120 + 5 = 125
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
If 3 → 12, 4 → 20, then 5 → ?
25
30
28
32
Correct answer
30
Why this answer is correct
The logic followed here is:
Logic: Number × (Number + 1) = Result
Given:
3 → 12
3 × (3 + 1) = 3 × 4 = 12
4 → 20
4 × (4 + 1) = 4 × 5 = 20
Now,
5 → ?
5 × (5 + 1) = 5 × 6 = 30
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
Let a% b = a + b + ab Then 2 % 3 = ?
11
10
9
12
Correct answer
11
Why this answer is correct

Given:
a % b = a + b + ab
Now,
2 % 3 = 2 + 3 + (2 × 3)
= 2 + 3 + 6
= 11
Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
Select the different one.

Hence, the correct answer is Option 1.
In a certain code language, 'stop cool cream brick' is coded as 'at bt ct mt', 'through truck cool' is coded as 'vt kt at' and 'brick clear truck' is coded as 'ct ot kt'.
How will 'stop clear cream' be coded in the same language?
at, ct, mt
bt, ot, mt
vt, ot, mt
ct, ot, kt
Correct answer
bt, ot, mt
Why this answer is correct
Given codes:
'stop cool cream brick' → at, bt, ct, mt
'through truck cool' → vt, kt, at
'brick clear truck' → ct, ot, kt
Therefore,
'stop clear cream' → bt, ot, mt
Hence, the correct answer is Option 2.
Find the value of 25% of 640 + 30% of 800
320
340
360
400
Correct answer
400
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Find the value of 25% of 640 + 30% of 800
25% of 640 = (25/100) × 640
= 0.25 × 640
= 160
Now,
30% of 800 = (30/100) × 800
= 0.30 × 800
= 240
Thus, 160 + 240 = 400
Hence, the correct answer is Option 4.
