Q 1 - 37/3 + 65/6 - 23/3 - 11/7 = ?

Answer : D

Explanation

Given exp.= 37/3 +65/6 -23/3 -11/7
={( 74+65-46)/-6} - 11/7  = (139-46)/6 -11/7 = 93/6 - 11/7 = 31/2 -11/7 =(217-22)/14
= 195/14

Q 2 - (11/4) / (8/3) / (13/12) = ?

Answer : D

Explanation

given exp. =   (11/4)  / (8/3) / (13/12) = 11/4 *3/8 *12/13 = 99/104

Q 3 - 1/3 + 3/4 (2/5 - 1/3) / 5/3 of 3/4 - 1/4 of 4/5 = ?

Answer : D

Explanation

given exp.  = {1/3 +3/4 (6-5/15)}/  5/3 of 3/4 -1/4 of 4/5 =
(1/3+3/4*1/15)/(5/4-1/5)
(23/60) /(21/20) =   (23/60* 20/21) = 23/63

Q 4 - 15/2 - [ 9/4 /{ 5/4 -1/2 (3/2 -1/3 -1/6 )}] =?

Answer : C

Explanation

given exp. = 15/2 - [ 9/4 /{5/4 -1/2 (3/2 ? 1/3 -1/6)}]
= 15/2 - [ 9/4 /{5/4 -1/2 (9-2 -1/6)}]
= 15/2 - [ 9/4 /{5/4-1/2}]
= 15/2 -[9/4 /3/4]
= 15/2 -[9/4*4/3]
= 15/2-3
= 9/2

Q 5 - 4- 5/ 1+ 1 / 3+ 1 / 2+ 1/4 = ?

Answer : B

Explanation

given exp. =   4 - [5/ {1+ 1/ 3+(1/ 9/4)}] 
= 4 -  [ 5/{ 1+ 1/ (3+4/9)}]
= 4 -  [5 / {1+ 1/ (31/9)}]
= 4 -  5/ (1+9/31)
= 4 -  5/ (40/31)
= 4- ( 5*31)/40
= 4- 31/8
= (32-31)/8
= 1/8

Q 6 - (1- 1/3)(1- 1/4)(1-1/5) ....(1-1/99)( 1-1/100) = ?

Answer : B

Explanation

given exp.= 2/3 *3/4 *4/5 *...*98/99* 99/100 = 2/100 = 1/50

Q 7 - if x/y = 6/5 , then (6/7 - 5x-y / 5x+y ) = ?

Answer : A

Explanation

given exp.  = 6/7 - [ 5(x/y)-1/ 5(x/y)+1] =  6/7 - [ (5*6/5)- 1 / (5*6/5)+1]
= 6/7 - (6-1)/(6+1) =  (6/7-5/7) = 1/7

Q 8 - if 2a +b = 5 and 3a -4b = 2, then ab = ?

Answer : C

Explanation

on solving 2a+b =5 and 3a-4b =2 , we get a =2, b=1
∴ ab = (2*1) = 2

Q 9 - ((856+167)² +(856-167)²)/(856*856+ 167*167)= ?

Answer : B

Explanation

given exp.  = (a+b)² +(a-b)²/ (a²+b²),   where a = 856 , b = 167
= 2 (a²+b²) /(a²+b²) = 2

Q 10 - If we have two companies A and B . If no. of employess tansfered from A to B , then numbers of employees becomes equal . On the other hand if 20 employees are transferred from B to A Then the number of employess in A becomes doubles in the comparision to B company. How much Employees are working in A's company?

Answer : D

Explanation

We assume that x employee in the A company and y  in the B company.
Then, (x-10) = ( y+10) ⇒ x- y = 20  ... (i)
2 ( y-20) = (x+20) ⇒ 2y-x = 60    ...(ii)
On solving  (i) and (ii) , we get x = 100
∴  There are  100 employees in company A.
