ANSWERS WITH EXPLANATION

Answer1: D) 12 : 15 :16
Explanation:

Aman : Rakhi : Sagar = (70000 x 36) : (105000 x 30) : (140000 x 24) = 12 : 15 : 16.

Answer2: B) 40
Explanation:

let length = 2x and breadth = x then
(2x-5) (x+5) = (2x * x)+75
5x-25 = 75 => x=20
length of the rectangle = 40 cm

Answer3: D) 5040
Explanation:

'LOGARITHMS' contains 10 different letters.
Required number of words = Number of arrangements of 10 letters, taking 4 at a time.
= 10P4
= 5040.

Answer4: B) 7/8
Explanation:

Here S = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT, HHH}
Let E = event of getting at most two heads.
Then E = {TTT, TTH, THT, HTT, THH, HTH, HHT}.
P(E) =n(E)/n(S)=7/8.

Answer5: A) 376
Explanation:

The smallest number in the series is 1000, a 4-digit number.
The largest number in the series is 4000, the only 4-digit number to start with 4. 
The left-most digit (thousands place) of each of the 4 digit numbers other than 4000 can take one of the 3 values 1 or 2 or 3.
The next 3 digits (hundreds, tens, and units place) can take any of the 5 values 0 or 1 or 2 or 3 or 4.
Hence, there are 3 x 5 x 5 x 5 or 375 numbers from 1000 to 3999.
Including 4000, there will be 376 such numbers.

Answer6: C) 30
Explanation:

Let breadth = x m
Then, length = (x+5)m
Area of a rectangle = Length x Breadth
x(x+5) = 750 
x² + 5x - 750= 0
(x+30)(x-25)= 0
x = 25 or x = -30
Hence, breadth x = 25m
=> Length = x + 5 = 25 + 5 = 30m. 

Answer7: B) Friday
Explanation:

The year 2006 is an ordinary year. So, it has 1 odd day.
So, the day of 8th Dec 2007 will be 1 day beyond the day of 8th Dec 2006.
But, 8th Dec 2007 is Saturday
S0, 8th Dec 2006 is Friday.

Answer8: C) Thursday
Explanation:

We know that,
Odd days --> days more than complete weeks
The number of odd days in 400/800/1200/1600/2000 years is 0.
Hence, the number of odd days in the first 1600 years is 0.
Number of odd days in 300 years = 1
Number of odd days in 49 years = (12 x 2 + 37 x 1) = 61 days = 5 odd days
Total number of odd days in 1949 years = 1 + 5 = 6 odd days
Now look at the year 1950
Jan 26 = 26 days = 3 weeks + 5 days = 5 odd days
Total number of odd days = 6 + 5 = 11 => 4 odd days
Odd days :-
0 = sunday ;
1 = monday ;
2 = tuesday ;
3 = wednesday ;
4 = thursday ;
5 = friday ;
6 = saturday
Therefore, Jan 26th 1950 was Thursday.

Answer9: A) 34
Explanation:

M + Tu + W + Th = 4 x 48 = 192
Tu + W + Th + F = 4 x 46 = 184
M = 42
Tu + W + Th = 192 - 42 = 150
F = 184 – 150 = 34

Answer10: C) 3
Explanation:

Total age of 4 members, 10 years ago = (24 x 4) years = 96 years.
Total age of 4 members now = [96 + (10 x 4)] years = 136 years.
Total age of 6 members now = (24 x 6) years = 144 years.
Sum of the ages of 2 children = (144 - 136) years = 8 years.
Let the age of the younger child be x years.
Then, the age of the elder child = (x+2) years.
So, x+(x+2) =8 <=> x=3
Age of younger child  =  3 years.
