Q 1 - 105 th term of the A.P. 4, 9/2, 5, 11/2, 6 ....is

Answer : A

Explanation

 Here a = 4, d = (9/2-4) = 1/2
T₁0₅ = a+(105-1)*d=4+104*1/2=4+52=56.

Q 2 - In the event that the fourth term of a number juggling movement is 14 and its twelfth term is 70, then its first term is:

Answer : B

Explanation

  Let the first term of the A.P. be a and common difference be d. then,
a+ 3d = 14 ...(i)    a+11d = 70 ...(ii)
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get 8d =56    d = 7
Putting d = 7 in (i), we get a+3*7=14 ⇒ a= (14-21) = -7   ∴ First term = -7

Q 3 - What number between 200 and 600 are distinct by 4, 5, 6?

Answer : B

Explanation

LCM of 4, 5, 6 = 2*2*5*3 = 60
So, each one must be divisible by 60.
Requisite numbers are 240, 300, 360, 420, 480 and 540.
Their no. is 6.

Q 4 - What is the following number in the math movement 2, 5, 8....?

Answer : D

Explanation

This is an A.P. in which a = 2 and d = (5-2) =3.
∴ Next number= (8+3) =11.

Q 5 - What number of odd number pages arrives in a book of 1089 pages?

Answer : C

Explanation

The pages are 1, 3, 5, 7...,1089.
This is an A.P. in which a= 1, d = (3-1) = 2 and L = 1089.
Let the number of these term be n. then,
(a+ (n-1) d = 1089 ⇒ 1 + (n - 1)* 2 = 1089 ⇒ (n-1 ) * 2 = 1088
n-1 =544⇒ n = 545.
∴ Required number of pages=545.

Q 6 - In the event that the fourth and ninth term of a G.P. is 54 and 13122 separately, there its second term is:

Answer : A

Explanation

Let its 1st term be a and common ratio r. Then,
ar³ = 54 and ar⁸ = 13122
∴ ar⁸/ ar³ = 13122/54 ⇒ r⁵ =243 = 3⁵ =r = 3
∴ a* 3³ = 54 ⇒ a*27 = 54 = > a =2
2nd term = ar = (2*3) =6

Q 7 - In the event that a ≠b, Then which of the accompanying proclamations is valid?

Answer : C

Explanation

For any two unequal numbers a and b, we have (A.M).> (g.m)
∴   (a+b)/2 > √ab

Q 8 - A clock hums 1 time at 1o, clock, 2 times at 2o, clock, 3 times at 3o, clock etc. What will be the aggregate quantities of hums in a day?

Answer : C

Explanation

Total number of buzzes =2 (1+2+3+..........+12).
This is an A.P. in which a=1, d=1, n = 12 and L = 12.
(1+2+3+ .........+12) = 12/2* (1+12) = 78.
∴ Total number of buzzes = (2 * 78) = 156.

Q 9 - The estimation of (1³+2³+3³+? ? ..+15³) - (1+2+3+...+15) =?

Answer : C

Explanation

(1³+2³+3³+...+15³) - (1+2+3+...+15)
= (15*16/2)² -1/2 *15*16 = (120)² -120 =(14400- 120) = 14280.
