While using the formula:

Angle: |(11/2) M - 30 H|

Where, M = minutes and H = hours.

Option 1: 10:45 a.m

Angle = |(11/2) x 45 - 30 x 10| = |247.5 - 300| = |-52.5°| = 52.5° ≠ 45°.

Option 2: 7:30 p.m

Angle = |(11/2) x 30 - 30 x 7| = |165 - 210| = |-45°| = 45° = 45°.

Option 3: 4:15 a.m

Angle = |(11/2) x 15 - 30 x 4| = |82.5 - 120| = |-37.5°| = 37.5° ≠ 45°.

Option 4: 6:20 a.m

Angle = |(11/2) x 20 - 30 x 4| = |110 - 120| = |-10°| = 10° ≠ 45°.

Therefore, only in Option 2 i.e 7:30 p.m, the angle formed between Minute and Hour hand is exactly 45°.

Hence, the correct answer is "7:30 p.m".

Given statements: 

Statement 1: Suspect A said, “I am not the killer”.

Statement 2: Suspect B said, “I am the killer”.

Statement 3: Suspect C said, “A is the killer”.

Statement 4: Suspect D said, “C is lying”.

If out of the given four statements, only one statement is correct.

Let statement 1 is correct and all other statements are not correct, then:

Statement 1: Suspect A said, “I am not the killer”. → True

Statement 2: Suspect B said, “I am the killer”. → False

Statement 3: Suspect C said, “A is the killer”. → False

Statement 4: Suspect D said, “C is lying”. → False

Therefore, from the given statement it can be concluded that both statement 3 and 4 are contradictory. According to the statement 3 A is not the killer and according to the statement 4 C is not lying.

Let the statement 2  is correct and all other statements are not correct, then:

Statement 1: Suspect A said, “I am not the killer”. → False

Statement 2: Suspect B said, “I am the killer”. → True

Statement 3: Suspect C said, “A is the killer”. → False

Statement 4: Suspect D said, “C is lying”. → False

Here statement 1 and statement 2 are contraditory as both A and B are the killers.

Let the statement 3  is correct and all other statements are not correct, then:

Statement 1: Suspect A said, “I am not the killer”. → False

Statement 2: Suspect B said, “I am the killer”. → False

Statement 3: Suspect C said, “A is the killer”. → True

Statement 4: Suspect D said, “C is lying”. → False

Here statement 1, 2 and statement 3 verifying that A is the killer.

Let the statement 4  is correct and all other statements are not correct, then:

Statement 1: Suspect A said, “I am not the killer”. → False

Statement 2: Suspect B said, “I am the killer”. → False

Statement 3: Suspect C said, “A is the killer”. → False

Statement 4: Suspect D said, “C is lying”. → True

Here according to the statement 4 C is lying then A is not the killer but statement 1 is false therefore A should be the killer. Both of the statements are contradictory.

Hence, A is the killer is the correct answer.

Given: 

Dimensions of rectangular solid box = 6 cm × 4 cm × 4 cm

A rectangular solid block is painted green on all its surfaces and then cut into smaller cubes of side 1 cm each.

By formula

Middle cubes(two surface painted) = 4(n1 - 2) + 4(n2 - 2) + 4(n3 - 2)

Here n1 = 6, n2 = 4 and n3 = 4

green colour on exactly two surfaces = 4(6 - 2) + 4(4 - 2) + 4(4 - 2)

= 4(4) + 4(2) + 4(2)

= 16 + 8 + 8

= 32

Therefore, green colour on exactly two surfaces are '32'

Hence, "32" is the correct answer.

Given Sapna and Sneha have Rs. 10,000 and Rs.11,000

They want to buy a common gift for their friend and share the cost equally between the two of them

 Cost price of mobile phone = 18,000

The retailer charged an additional 2 percent amount for gift wrapping and delivery

Overall cost of mobile phone = Cost of mobile phone + Delivery charges

Delivery charges = (2 ÷ 100) × 18,000 = Rs 360.

Overall cost of mobile phone = 18,000 + 360

Overall cost of mobile phone = Rs 18,360

Share the overall cost of mobile phone to the Sapna and Sneha equally.

Amount to each of them = Rs 18,360 ÷ 2 = Rs 9,180.

Hence, "Rs 9,180" is the correct answer.

Shortcut Trick

Given cost price Rs 18,000 and additional 2 percent of delivery charge 

Taking Rs 18,000 is 100 percentage and additional 2 percent of delivery charge as a 100 % + 2 % = 102 %

100 % = 18000

102 % =   ?

(18000 ÷ 100 %) × 102 % = Rs 18,360

Amount to each of them = Rs 18,360 ÷ 2 = Rs 9,180

The logic is :

Hence, "3" is the correct answer.

Given:

Marked price of a set of bangles = Rs 11,000

In sale period given discount 10 %

Selling price= Market price - Discount percent

Selling price = 11,000 - (10 ÷ 100) × 11,000

Selling price= 11,000 - 1100

Selling price = Rs 9,900

Get an additional 2 % off on the discount price, payment through the mobile payment application

Net payment = Selling price - Additional discount %

Net payment = 9,900 - (2 ÷ 100) × 9,900

Net payment = 9,900 - 198

Net payment = Rs 9,702

She make net payment = Rs 9,702

Hence, "9702" is the answer.

Shortcut Trick: 

Given amount is always taken as 100 percent

Given discount 10 % means (100 - 10) = 90 percent 

She will pay 90 % of money

100 % = 11, 000

90 % =    ?

(11,000 ÷ 100) × 90 = Rs 9,900 

Rs 9,900 is taken as 100%

Given an additional discount of 2 % means (100 - 2) = 98 %

100 % = 9,900

98 % =   ?

(9,900 ÷ 100 %) × 98 % = Rs 9,702.

Given,

The days in August up to 15th

Total number of days = 5 + 29 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 15 = 202

Number of odd days = 202 ÷ 7 = 28 weeks + 6 odd days

15 August = Sunday + 6 odd days = Saturday

Hence, "Saturday" is the correct answer.

2020 Year is a leap year

Shortcut Trick

Number of odd days in January = 5

Number odd days in February = 29 = 4 weeks + 1 = 1

Number odd days in March = 31 = 4 weeks + 3 = 3

Number odd days in April = 30 = 4 weeks + 2 = 2

Number odd days in  May = 31 = 4 weeks + 3 = 3 

Number odd days in June = 30 = 4 weeks + 2 = 2

Number odd days in July = 31 = 4 weeks + 3 = 3

Number of odd days in August 15 days = 2 weeks + 1

Total number of odd days = 5 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 = 20 odd days

Number of odd days = 20 ÷ 7 = 2 weeks + 6 odd days

August 15th = Sunday + 6 odd days = Saturday

Given:

Principal = Rs.31,250

Rate = 8%

Time = (1 \frac{1}{2}) = 3/2 years

Formula Used:

Amount = Principal × {1 + Rate/(2 × 100)}^{2 × time}

Compound Interest = Amount - Principal

Calculation:

Amount = 31250 × (1 + 8/200)^{2 × 3/2}

Amount = Rs.35152

Compound Interest = 35152 - 31250 = Rs.3902

∴ The compound interest is Rs.3902

Calculation:

⇒ 4x/5y = 16/15

⇒ x/y = 4/3

⇒ x = 4y/3

According to the question;

⇒ 2x + 3y = 85

⇒ 2 × (4y/3) + 3y = 85

⇒ 17y/3 = 85

⇒ y = 15

⇒  x = 4 × 15/3 = 20

Then, 2y - x = 30 - 20 = 10

∴ The value of 2y - x is 10.

Given:

The amount spend on house rent is 2/5 of his salary

The amount spend on food is 3/7 of his salary

The amount spend on conveyance is 1/8 of his salary

Calculation:

Let the salary be 1

Total spending on house rent, food and conveyance = 2/5 + 3/7 + 1/8 = 267/280

The remaining amount = 1 - 267/280 = 13/280

⇒ 13/280 = 1300

⇒ 1 = 28000

Amount spend on house rent = 2/5 × 28000 = Rs.11200

Amount spend on food = 3/7 × 28000 = Rs.12000

Total spend on house rent and food = 11200 + 12000 = Rs.23,200

∴ The total expenditure on house rent and food is Rs.23,200

Calculation:

The least common factor of 12, 16 and 24 = 48

The largest 3 digit number = 999

When 999 divided by 48 got remainder 39

The greatest three digit number divisible by 48 = 999 - 39 = 960

∴ The greatest three digit number which is divisible by 12, 16 and 24 is 960

Calculation:

⇒ (\dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{2}{15}+ \dfrac{2}{35}+ \dfrac{2}{63}+ \dfrac{2}{99})

⇒ (2310 + 462 + 198 + 110 + 70)/3465

⇒ 3150/3465

⇒ 10/11

∴ The value of (\dfrac{2}{3} + \dfrac{2}{15}+ \dfrac{2}{35}+ \dfrac{2}{63}+ \dfrac{2}{99}) is 10/11

Given:

By increasing 10 students, total expenditure increased by Rs.80 

By increasing 10 students, average decreased by Rs.5

Formula Used:

Calculation:

Let the initial average be x

The total expenditure of 50 students = 50 × x = 50x

The total expenditure of 60 students = 50x + 80

The new average = x - 5

According to the question;

⇒ (50x + 80)/60 = (x - 5)

⇒ 50x + 80 = 60x - 300

⇒ 380 = 10x

⇒ x = 38

The total expenditure of 50 students = 50 × 38 = Rs.1900

∴ The total expenditure of 50 students is Rs.1900

Given:

The cost price of 1 kg rice and 10 kg of sugar is Rs.260

After increasing, new cost price is  Rs.352

Calculation:

Let the price of 1 kg rice be x

Let the price of 1 kg of sugar be y

⇒ x + 10y = 260  

⇒ x = 260 - 10y

The increased price of 1 kg of rice = (100 + 20)/100 × x = 1.20x

The increased price of 1 kg of sugar = (100 + 40)/100 = 1.40y

⇒ 1.20x + 10(1.4y) = 352 

⇒ 1.2 (260 - 10y) + 14y = 352

⇒ 312 - 12y + 14y = 352

⇒ 2y = 40

⇒ y = 20

The value of 1 kg of rice = 260 - 10 × 20 = Rs.60

∴ The price of 1kg of rice is Rs.60

Given:

a - b = 3

b - c = 12

a + b + c = 240

Calculation:

⇒ a = 3 + b

⇒ c = b - 12

⇒ a + b + c = 240

⇒ 3 + b + b + b - 12 = 240

⇒ 3b = 249

⇒ b = 83

⇒ a = 86

Then, a + b = 83 + 86 = 169

∴ The value of a + b is 169

Calculation:

⇒ 13/16 = 0.8125

⇒ 11/16 = 0.6875

⇒ 13/21 = 0.6190

⇒ 11/19 = 0.5789

∴ The greatest number is 13/16

Given:

Average marks of total 200 students = 40

Average marks of passed students = 45

Average marks of failed students = 20

Formula Used:

Average = Total marks/Number of students

Calculation:

The sum of marks of 200 students = 40 × 200 = 8000

Let the number of passed students be x

The number of failed students = 200 - x

According to the question;

⇒ 45 × x + (200 - x) × 20 = 8000

⇒ 45x + 4000 - 20x = 8000

⇒ 25x = 4000

⇒ x = 160

∴ The number of passed students is 160

Formula Used:

Circumference of a circle = 2πr

Here, r = radius

Calculation:

According to the question;

⇒ 2r = 2πr - 180

⇒ 2r(π - 1) = 180

⇒ 2r(22/7 - 1) = 180

⇒ 2r × 15/7 = 180

⇒ r = 42 cm

∴ The radius of the circle is 42 cm

Given:

Person X travel with speed of 5 km/h, then he late for the destination by 45 minutes.

Person X travel with speed of 6 km/h, then he reaches the destination before by 25 minutes.

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Let the distance be D

Let the original Speed be S.

When person X travel with speed of 5 km/h,

⇒ D/5 - D/S = 45/60

⇒ D(1/5 - 1/S) = 3/4

⇒ D = 3 × 5S/4(S - 5)

When person X travel with speed of 6 km/h

⇒ D/S - D/6 = 25/60

⇒ D(1/S - 1/6) = 5/12

⇒ [3 × 5S/4(S - 5)] × [(6 - S)/6S] = 5/12

⇒ (6 - S)/2(S - 5) = 1/3

⇒ 18 - 3S = 2S - 10

⇒ 5S = 28

⇒ S = 28/5

The distance = 3 × 5 × (28/5) × 4(28/5 - 5) = 35 km

∴  The distance between his destination from his starting point  is 35 km 

Shortcut Trick 

By using the formula, S₁ × S₂ × (total change in time)/(S₁ - S₂)

⇒ (5 × 6 × 70)/[60 × (6 - 5)]  = 35 km

∴  The distance between his destination from his starting point  is 35 km

Given:

Divisor = 8 × Quotient

Divisor = 5  × Remainder

Remainder = 24

Formula Used:

Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder

Calculation:

Divisor =  5 × 24 = 120

Quotient = 120/8 = 15

Dividend = 120 × 15 + 24 = 1824

∴ The dividend is 1824

Calculation:

Let the fraction be x/y.

The numerator = x × (100 + 30)/100

The denominator = y × (100 - 20)/100

The new fraction = x × (100 + 30)/y × (100 - 20)

The new fraction = 13x/8y

The difference  = 13x/8y -  x/y = 5x/8y

The required percentage = 5x/8y/x/y  × 100 = 62.5%

∴ The required percentage is 62.5%

Given:

Area of ΔABC = 156 cm2

BD = BC/2

Calculation:

Area of ΔABC = √3/4 × (BC)²

Area of ΔABC = √3/4 × (2BD)2

Area of ΔABC = 4 × √3/4 × (BD)2

Area of ΔABC = 4 × Area of ΔBDE

Area of ΔBDE = 1/4 × Area of ΔABC  = 1/4 × 156 = 39 cm2

∴ Area of ΔBDE is  39 cm2

Calculation:

We know 7¹ = 7, 7² = 49, 7³ = 343, 7⁴ = 2401

Assuming, the value of 78 = ....... 01

Then,  78 + 3 = ......01 + 3 = 4

When dividing 4 by 6 we get remainder = 4

∴ The  remainder when 78 + 3 is divided by 6 is 4

Given:

Principal = Rs.1600

Rate = 12% and 9%

Formula Used:

Simple Interest = Principal × Rate × Time/100

Calculation:

Let the amount lent on 12% be x

Then, the amount lent on 9% = (2800 - x)

According to the question;

⇒ x × 12/100 + (2800 - x) × 9/100 = 288

⇒ 3x/100 + 252 = 288

⇒ 3x/100 = 36

⇒ x = 1200

The amount lent on 9% = (2800 - 1200) = Rs.1600

∴ The amount lent on 9% is Rs.1600

Given:

∠PQR = 90°

PT = 9 cm, TR = 12 cm

Concept Used:

When AD the angle bisector, meets BC at D,

Then AB/AC = BD/DC

Calculation:

By using the concept,

⇒ QP/QR = 9/12 = 3/4

Let QP be 3x and QR be 4x

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

⇒ (3x)² + (4x)² = 21² 

⇒ 9x² + 16x² = 441

⇒ 25x² = 441

⇒ x = √441/25 = 21/5

QP = 3 × 21/5 = 63/5 = 12.6

QR = 4 × 21/5 = 84/5 = 16.8

Permeter of Δ PQR,

⇒ QP + QR + PR

⇒ 12.6 + 16.8 + 21

⇒ 50.4

∴ The perimeter of Δ PQR is 50.4 cm.

Given:

The discount % = 20%

Travel expenses = Rs. 80

Saving = Rs. 50

Calculation:

Let the price of the goods at A is X.

Now at B, the price is 20% cheaper.

Hence, price at B is 0.8X.

Now the journey expenses are Rs. 80.

So total cost is 0.8X + 80

At the above cost he still save 50,

So, X - (0.8X + 80) = 50

⇒ 0.2X = 130

⇒ 0.8 X = 520.

∴ The amount pay for oranges is Rs.520

Calculation:

⇒ (8 \frac{1}{3} - \left[ 3\frac{1}{4} + \left{ 5 \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{5}\left( 7 \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{3}\right)\right} \right])

⇒ (8 \frac{1}{3} - \left[ 3\frac{1}{4} + \left{ 5 \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{19}{3}\right} \right])

⇒ (8 \frac{1}{3} - \left[ 3\frac{1}{4} + \left{ \frac{17}{3} - \frac{19}{15}\right} \right])

⇒ (8 \frac{1}{3} - \left[ 3\frac{1}{4} + \frac{66}{15} \right])

⇒ (\frac{25}{3} - \frac{459}{60} )

⇒ (\frac{500 - 459}{60} )

⇒ (\frac{41}{60} )

∴ The required answer is (\frac{41}{60} )

Calculation:

To solve this you need to know the divisibility test by 11 and 9.

Since the number 234117pq is divisible by 99, it needs to be divisible by 9 and 11.

Since p and q are single digits they are less than 9

Divisibility test by 9:

The sum of the individual numbers of the number 234117pq should be divisible by 9.

So 2 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 1 + 7 + p + q should be divisible by 9 or 18 + p + q should be divisible by 9.

Divisibility test by 11:

The subtraction of the alternate digits should add up to 0 or be divisible by 11.

So 11 + q - (7 + p) or 4 + q - p should be divisible by 11. 

The possible cases for divisibility by 9 are p + q = 9 and p + q = 18

The possible cases for divisibility by 11 are q - p = - 4 or q - p = 7.

The only combination which gives p and q as single-digit whole numbers are p + q = 9 and q - p = 7

 

which gives p = 1 and q = 8

 

∴ The value of 'p' and 'q' is 1 and 8

Given:

Total amount = Rs. 9,891

The ratio of Sushant and Sohan is 2 : 7

Calculation:

The share of Sushant = 2/9 × 9891 = Rs.2198

The share of Sohan = 9891 - 2198 = 7693

According to the question;

The difference = 8 × 2198 - 2 × 7693 = Rs.2198 

∴ The required difference is Rs.2198

Given:

The ratio of three numbers = (\dfrac{1}{2} : \dfrac{1}{3} : \dfrac{1}{4})

Greatest number - Smallest number = 123

Calculation:

The ratio of number = (\dfrac{1}{2} : \dfrac{1}{3} : \dfrac{1}{4}) 

⇒  6 : 4 : 3  ( multiplying by 12)

According to the question;

⇒ 6 - 3 = 123

⇒ 3 = 123

⇒ 1 = 41

⇒ (6 + 4 + 3) = 123/3 × 13

⇒ 13 = 533

∴ The sum of all the numbers is 533

Formula Used:

Distance = Speed × Time

Calculation:

Speed of car = 2800/35 = 80 km/hr

Speed of bus = 80 × 120/100 + 4 = 100 km/hr

The distance covered by bus = 100 × 7/2 = 350 km

∴ The distance covered by bus is 350 km

Given:

LCM = 4752

The ratio of number =  4 : 9 : 16 : 22

Calculation:

Let the number be 4x, 9x, 16x and 22x

LCM of 4x, 9x, 16x and 22x = 1584x

⇒ 1584x = 4752

⇒ x = 3

The difference = (22 - 4) × 3 = 54

∴ The difference between the greatest and the least number is 54
