ANSWERS WITH EXPLANATION

Answer1: C) 552 km
Explanation:
Total distance travelled in 12 hours    =(35+37+39+.....upto 12 terms)
This is an A.P with first term, a=35, number of terms,
n= 12,d=2.
Required distance    = 12/2[2 x 35+{12-1) x 2]
=6(70+23)
= 552 kms.

Answer2: C) 7
Explanation:
Let the required number of days be x.
Fewer spiders, More days (Indirect Proportion)
Fewer webs, Fewer days (Direct Proportion)
Spiders 1:7 ----------------(1)
Webs 7:1-------------------(2)
From (1) and (2), we have
7:x
=> 1 * 7 * x = 7 * 1 * 7 
=> x= 7

Answer3: B) 3109
Explanation:
Time = 2 years 4 months = 2(4/12) years = 2(1/3) years.
Amount = Rs'. [8000 X (1+(15/100))^2 X (1+((1/3)*15)/100)]
=Rs. [8000 * (23/20) * (23/20) * (21/20)]
= Rs. 11109. .
:. C.I. = Rs. (11109 - 8000) = Rs. 3109.

Answer4: B) 127
Explanation:
Required number = H.C.F. of (1657 - 6) and (2037 - 5)
= H.C.F. of 1651 and 2032 = 127.

Answer5: C) 39
Explanation:
Let B's present age = x years. Then, A's present age = (x + 9) years.
(x + 9) + 10 = 2(x - 10)
 => x + 19 = 2x - 20
 => x =39.

Answer6: A) 3864
Explanation:
Saving  = 50% of (100 - 40)% of (100 - 30)% of Rs. 18,400 = Rs. (50/100 * 60/100 * 70/100 * 18400) = Rs. 3864.

Answer7: C) Wednesday
Explanation:
17th June, 1998 = (1997 years + Period from 1.1.1998 to 17.6.1998)
Odd days in 1600 years = 0
Odd days in 300 years = 1
97 years has 24 leap years + 73 ordinary years.
Number of odd days in 97 years ( 24 x 2 + 73) = 121 = 2 odd days.
Jan. Feb. March. April. May. June.
(31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 17) = 168 days
168 days = 24 weeks = 0 odd day.
Total number of odd days = (0 + 1 + 2 + 0) = 3.
The given day is Wednesday.

Answer8: D) 45%
Explanation:
Let there be x voters and k votes goes to loser then 
      0.8x - 120 = k + (k + 200)
        k+200 = 0.41x
 => k = 1440
and  (k + 200) =1640
Therefore  1440/3200 x 100 = 45%

Answer9: B) 36.5
Explanation:
Correct Sum = (36 * 50 + 48 - 23) = 1825.
Correct mean = = 1825/50 = 36.5

Answer10: D) 48
Explanation:
Let the numbers be  3x and 4x. Then their H.C.F = x. So, x=4
Therefore, The numbers are 12 and 16
L.C.M of 12 and 16 = 48
