A) 4, 8, 12 B) 5, 10, 15
C) 10, 20, 30 D) 12, 24, 36

ANSWERS WITH EXPLANATION

Answer1: B) 30
Explanation:
Total age increased = (8 * 2) years = 16 years.
Sum of ages of two new men = (21 + 23 + 16) years = 60 years
The average age of two new men = (60/2) years = 30 years.

Answer2: A) 77
Explanation:
Product of numbers = 11 x 385 = 4235
Let the numbers be 11a and 11b . Then , 11a x 11b = 4235  =>  ab = 35
Now, co-primes with product  35 are (1,35) and (5,7)
So, the numbers are ( 11 x 1, 11 x 35)  and (11 x 5, 11 x 7)
Since one number lies 75 and 125, the suitable pair is  (55,77)
Hence, required number = 77

Answer3: B) 150
Explanation:
Suppose there are all the pigeons then the total no of heads is 340 and the total no of legs is 680. 
Now, since 380 (1060-680) legs are extra, it means there will be 190 (380/2) rabbits. As we know a rabbit has two extra legs than that of a pigeon.
Therefore,  number of rabbits =190
and number of pigeons = 340- 190 = 150

Answer4: A) 7/18
Explanation:
Clearly, n(S) = 6 x 6 = 36
Let E be the event that the sum of the numbers on the two faces is divided by 4 or 6.
Then,E = {(1,3),(1,5),(2,2),(2,4),(2,6),(3,1),(3,3),(3,5),(4,2),(4,4),(5,1),(5,3),(6,2),(6,6)}
n(E) = 14.
Hence, P(E) = n(E)/n(S) = 14/36 = 7/18

Answer5: A) 5
Explanation:
The pattern is -45, -35, -25, -15
The next number = 20-15= 5

Answer6: C) 166252
Explanation:
Given 92613 x 62742241 = ? + 89
Using unit digit method,
On LHS,
1 x 1 x 1 = 1
sqrt of last digit 1 => it must end with either 9 or 1
so now
1 x 1 = 1
1 x 9 = 9
On RHS,
? + 89
=> ? = ...1 - 89 = last digit is 11- 9 = 2
or
=> ? = ...9 - 89 = last digit is 9 - 9 = 0
Here in the options last digit 2 is option C.

Answer7: B) 120
Explanation:
Other side = [(17 x 17) - (15 x 15)] = (289 - 225) = 8m
Area = 15 x 8 =120 sq. m

Answer8: D) 750
Explanation:
Let C.P be Rs. x 
900 - x = 2(x - 450)     => x = Rs.600   
C.P = 600 gain required is 25% 
S.P = [(100+25) x 600] / 100 = Rs.750

Answer9: C) 37
Explanation:
Let the ten's digit be x. Then, unit's digit = 2x + 1.
[10x + (2x + 1)] - [{10 (2x + 1) + x} - {10x + (2x + 1)}] = 1
<=> (12x + 1) - (9x + 9) = 1 <=> 3x = 9, x =  3.
So, ten's digit = 3 and unit's digit = 7. Hence, original number = 37.

Answer10: D) 12, 24, 36
Explanation:
Let the required numbers be x, 2x, 3x.   Then, their H.C.F =x. so, x= 12
Therefore, The numbers are 12, 24, 36.
