2) Find the 87th term in the series 2, 10, 26, 50, .....
1986
2682
3741
4120
Ans: 3741
2+8=10 = 1*8 + 2
10+2*8 = 26 = 3*8 + 2
26+3*8 = 50 = 6*8 + 2
50+4*8 = 82 = 10*8 + 2
82+5*8 = 122 = 15*8 + 2
3) Find the area (in square units) of the triangle formed by the lines represented by
the equations 2x+3y=5, y=x and X-Axis.
5/4 sq.units
7/4 sq.units
5/2 sq.units
7/2 sq.units
Ans: 5/4 sq.units
Substitute y=0 to know point of intersection on X-Axis.
So x=5/2 and x=0.
To know the points of intersection of the other two lines, 2x+3y=5, y=x
2x+3x=5, x=1,y=1
Hence the vertices of the triangle are (0,0) (1,1) (5/2,0)
The area of the triangle = Sum of area of the two right angles triangles = 1/2 * (1*1)
+ 1/2 * (1.5*1)
= 1/2*(2.5) = 2.5/2 = 5/4
6) You have been given a physical balance and 7 weights of 52, 50, 48, 44, 45, 46,
and 78 Kgs. Keeping weights on one pan and object on the other, what is the

178
180
181
182
Ans: 180
Let us solve it by using options.
182 - No valid combination
181 - No valid combination
180 - we have 52+50+78
7) If X^y denotes x raised to the power y, then find last two digit of 1507^3381 +
1457^3757
11
64
48
None of these
Ans: 64
The trick is to make unit digit be 1 and then apply the shortcut.
1507^3381 = 1507^(4*845 + 1)
1457^3757 = 1457^(4*939 + 1)
1507^4 will have last two digits as 01.
1457^4 will have last two digits as 01.
Last two digits for xxx01^845 = 01 (Using the shortcut to find the last two digits of
powers for numbers ending with 1)
So the required last two digits is last two digits of the sum (01*07 + 01*57) = 64
8) 12 people {a1, a2, …, a12} meet and shake hands in a circular fashion. In other
words, there are totally 12 handshakes involving the pairs, {a1, a2}, {a2, a3}, …,
{a11, a12}, {a12, a1}. Then size of the smallest set of people such that the rest have
shaken hands with at least one person in the set is
4
12
3
6
Ans: 4
a2 shakes hands with a1 and a3
a5 shakes hands with a4 and a6
a8 shakes hands with a7 and a9
a11 shakes hands with a10 and a12
So the size of the smallest set such that the rest of the people (who are not in the
set) have shaken hands at least once = size of {a2,a5,a8,a11} = 4
Shortcut to remember: In general, for circular fashion, formula = N/3 = 12/3 = 4
9) If f(x) = sum of all the digits of x, where x is a natural number, then what is the
value of f(101)+f(102)+f(103)+ .. +f(200)?
999
1001
568
582
Ans: 1001
f(101) = 2, f(102) = 3
So from f(101) to f(109) it is 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10 = 54
From f(110) to f(119) it is 2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11 = 65
From f(120) to f(129) it is 3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 = 75
From f(130) to f(139) it is 4+5+. .... +12+13 = 85
So the sum is 54 + 65 + 75 + 85 + 95 + 105 + 115 + 125 + 135 + 145 + 2 (2 is for
f(200))
= 56 + 65 + ... 145
= 56 + 9/2 * (65+145) (Using sum of Arithmetic Progression formula)
= 1001
10) If all the numbers between 11 and 100 are written on a piece of paper,
how many times will the number '4' be used?
17
18
19
20
Ans: 19
When 4 is in unit digit = 9*1 = 9 times (Zero cannot be in most significant place)
When 4 is in ten's digit = 1*10 = 10
Total = 19
11) Inspired by fibonacci series Sanket decided to create his own series which is 1,
2, 3, 7, 7, 22, 15, 67,......
What number will come immediately before 63?
192
198
202
218
Ans: 202
There are two series.
1,3,7,15,31,63,127, ...... (previous term*2 + 1)
2,7,22,67,202,307, ....... (previous term*3 + 1)
So the is like 1,2,3,7,7,22,15,67,31,202,63,607
12) A car travelling at 5/7th of normal speed covers 42 km in 1hr 40min 48sec.
Find the normal speed of the car.
35 kmph
40 kmph
45 kmph
50 kmph
Ans: 35 kmph
1 hr 40 min 48 sec = 6048 seconds
Let normal speed be x.
5x/7 = 42000/6048 m/s
x = 8400/864 m/s = 8400/864 * 18/5 = 35 kmph
13) A train travels 50% faster than a car. Both start from point a A at the same
time and reaches point B which is 75 km away from A at the same time. On the
way the train lost about 12.5 mins due to stoppages. What is the speed of the
car? 120 kmph
180 kmph
140 kmph
90 kmph
Ans: 120 kmph
Let speed of car be 2x km/minute. Speed of train is 3x km/minute.
Let the time to go from A to B be T minutes.
2xT = 3x*(T-12.5) = 75
Solving T=37.5 minutes, 2x=75/37.5 = 2 km/minute.
Hence Speed of the car = 120 kmph
14) In how many ways can 7 different objects be divided among 3 persons so that
either one or two of them do not get any object?
21
31
289
381
Ans: 381
When two of them do not get any object:
All 7 go to one person. Number of ways = 3
When only one of them does not get any object:
The remaining two can get in x+y=7 = (7-1)C(2-1) = 6 combinations [(1,6) (2,5) (3,4)
(4,3) (5,2) (6,1)]
Now these two can be A,B or B,C or C,A
But as the objects are different (1,6) can be done in 7C1 = 7 ways, (2,5) in 7C2 = 21
ways, (3,4) in 7C3 = 35 ways,
(4,3) in 7c4 = 35 ways, (5,2) in 7c5 = 21 ways, (6,1) in 7c6 = 7 ways.
Overall count = 3+ 3*(7+21+35+35+21+7) = 3+378 = 381
16) Two vertical poles 2 meters and 8 meters high stand apart on a horizontal
plane. The height in meters of the point of intersection of the lines joining the top
of each pole to the bottom of the other pole is
0.9m
1.8m
1.2m
1.6m
Ans: 1.6m
We need to find x.
Using similar triangles,
x/8 = m/(m+n) and
x/2 = n/(m+n)
Adding these two equations,
5x/8 = (m+n)/(m+n) = 1,
x = 8/5 = 1.6m
18)
Two arithmetic series, s1 and s2 with each consisting of 150 terms are as below.
1,5,9. ..... and
3,6,9.......
How many terms of s1 and s2 are identical?
37
42
45
39
Ans: 37
The common difference of s1 is 4 and s2 is 3.
LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
Last term of s2 = 3 + (150-1)*3 = 450.
Hence the identical terms form a series like 9,(9+12),(9+12+12) and so on, that is
9,21,33, .. 441
Let number of terms identical be N.
441 = 9 + (N-1)*12, N=37
19)
Find the sum up to 1000 terms for the series 10 + 84 + 734 + ..
8*[9^9000 - 1]/9 + 9000
8*[9^1000 - 1]/9 + 1000
9*[9^1000 - 1000]/8 + 1000000
9*[9^1000 - 1]/8 + 1000000
Ans: 9*[9^1000 - 1]/8 + 1000000
The series is as =(9+1)+(9^2+3)+(9^3+5)+...
= 9^1 + 9^2 + 9^3 + ... + 1 + 3 + 5 + ...
Using the formula for G.P, the above can be written as
= 9*(1 - 9^n)/(1-9) + n^2
= 9*(9^n - 1)/8 + n^2
So sum upto 1000 terms = 9*[9^1000 - 1]/8 + 1000000
21) A class consists of 100 students. 24 of them are are girls and 32 are not. What
is the base being used?
8
6
9
5
Ans: 6
Let the base be b.
b^2 = 2b + 4 + 3b + 2,
b^2 -5b -6 = 0, Solving b=6 or -1 (Base cannot be negative and hence b=6)
22) What is the maximum sum of the terms in the arithmetic progression 25,
24.5, 24, ...?
612.5
681.5
637.5
592.5
Ans: 637.5
This A.P has initial term as 25 and common difference as -0.5.
After 0, the values are going to be negative and hence the maximum occurs when
the term is 0.5 or 0.
So let us find the number of terms N from 25 to 0.
0 = 25 + (N-1)*-0.5,
N = 51
So sum of terms = 51/2 * (25+0) = 637.5
23) If n is the sum of two consecutive odd integers and less than 100, what is
greatest possibility of n?
98
96
94
100
Ans: 96
Let the consecutive odd integers be x, x+2.
Given 2x+2 < 100,
x < 49
So x=47 and x+2=49
So greatest possibility of n = 47+49 = 96
24) In how many ways can we distribute 10 identical looking pencils to 4 students
so that each student gets at least one pencil?
210
160
108
84
Ans: 84
Here the objects are identical and no student should get zero pencils.
That is the combinations like (0,0,0,10) or (0,2,3,5) are not permitted.
Hence total num of ways = n-1Cr-1
Here n=10 and r=4
Hence required num of ways = 9C3 = 84
25) George while driving along the highway saw road markers which are at equal
distances from each other. He crosses the markers every 20 seconds. If he
increases his speed by x meters per second, he crosses the markers at every 15
seconds. But if he increases his speed by y meters per second, he crosses the
marker at every 10th second. If y-x = 40 meters per second, then what is the
distance between two markers?
600m
800m
1200m
1600m
Ans: 1200m
Let the usual speed be S and distance between markers be D.
D/S = 20
D/(S+x) = 15
D/(S+y) = 10
Thus D=20S = 15S+15x = 10S+10y - Eqn 1
(S+y)/(S+x) = 15/10,
(S+x+40)/(S+x) = 15/10
10S + 10x + 400 = 15S + 15x
5S = 400-5x
Using Eqn 1, 5S = 400 - 5(S/3)
20S/3 = 400,
20S = 1200 which is nothing but the distance between markers in meters as per
Eqn 1
26) One day Eesha started 30 minutes late from home and reached her office
50 minutes late while driving 25% slower than her usual speed. How much
time in minutes does Eesha usually take to reach her office from home?
120 minutes
90 minutes
60 minutes
None of these
Ans: 60 mins
Overall delay = 50-30 = 20 mins.
Let original speed be S and distance be D.
D/S = D/(0.75S) - 1/3 (20 mins is 1/3 hours)
D/S = 4D/S3 - 1/3,
D/S(4/3 - 1) = 1/3
D/S = 1 hr = 60 mins. (D/S is nothing but T which is time taken)
27) One day Eesha started 30 minutes late from home and reached her office
50 minutes late while driving 25% slower than her usual speed. How much
time in minutes does Eesha usually take to reach her office from home?
120 minutes
90 minutes
60 minutes
None of these
Ans: 60 mins
Overall delay = 50-30 = 20 mins.
Let original speed be S and distance be D.
D/S = D/(0.75S) - 1/3 (20 mins is 1/3 hours)
D/S = 4D/S3 - 1/3,
D/S(4/3 - 1) = 1/3
D/S = 1 hr = 60 mins. (D/S is nothing but T which is time taken)
28) A father purchases dress for his three daughters. The dresses are of same color
but of different size. The dresses are kept in a dark room .What is the probability
that all the three will not choose the dress of their size?
1/3
2/3
1/2
1/6
Probability that first daughter will not pick correct size = 2/3.
Second daughter has 2 dresses left. Hence the probability of not picking correct
dress =1/2.
Third is anyways left with a wrong one. Hence probability =1/1.
Hence the required probability = 2/3 * 1/2 * 1 = 1/3
