13,16,49,169, 256, .. what will
come next, if it will be a
repeatition out of this series ?
1+3 = 4 and square of 4 = 16
now 1+6 = 7 and square of 7 = 49
now 4+9 = 13 square of 13 = 169
1+6+9 = 16, square of 16 is 256,
2+5+6 = 13, square of 13 is 169
so the next digit is 169. answer

1,1,4,8,9,27 what will be the next
2 number?
1^2 =1
1^3 = 1
2^2 = 4
2^3 = 8
3^2 = 9
3^3 =27
4^2 = 16 , 4^3 = 64 so next numbers are 16, 64
answer.

What will be the angle in watch at
2.15 pm?

Minute hand is at 15, hour hand is at


(10*60/55 ) = 10.91
thus there is a gap of 15 – 10.91 = 4.09
the angle is : (4.09/60) *360
=24.54 degree answer

Rain = Drizzle is equal to
1. Boil = Sizzle,
2. Smile = laugh,
3. match = tournament,
4. flow = trickle

Rain is bigger form of Drizzle. Thus we are


going from bigger to smaller. Similar analogy
can be observed in Flow =Trickle

In a family each daughter has the same number
of brothers as she has sisters and each son has
twice as many sisters as he has brothers. How
many daughters and sons does the family
have?

Options : A 4,3 B. 2,1 C. 3,2 D 5,3


first option gives the answer. For this type of
questions, solve through options. In the case of
1st option, we can see that each daughter has 3
brothers and 3 sisters but each son has 2
brothers and 4 sisters. So this is the answer

If 72 * 23 = 45, 13*12 =12, 23*14
= 25, 64*12 =??

Add 7 and 2 and also 2 and 3 now multiply


these : we get : 9*5 = 45
similarly add 1+3 and 1+2 now multiply these
we get : 4*3 = 12 similarly, add 2+3 and 1+4,
we get : 5*5 = 25, similarly , 6+4 =10 and 1+2
= 3 multiply these : 10*3 = 30 answer

A train passes through a tunnel, whose length
is 500 meters, in 1 minute moving at 72 km per
hour, the length of the train is ?

Solution : -
Step 1. convert speed of train in meters per
second : 72 * 5/18 = 20 m. p.s.
Step 2 : total distance travelled in 1 minute =
20*60 = 1200
step 3. deduct the length of tunnel from this
distance : 1200-500 = 700 meters.
So answer = 700 meters.

The least number which is a
perfect square and is divisible by
each of numbers 16,20,24 is ?
Look at the factors of these numbers :
16=2^4
20=2^2*5
24=2^3*3
thus taking them all : 2^4*5^2*3^2 =
=16*25*9= 3600 answer
note : here you have to take all the prime factors in
power of multiple of 2.
5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 10
The least number which should be
added to 2497 so that sum is
divisible by 5,6,4,3 ?
Step 1. take LCM of 5,6,4,3
=product of all prime factors 5*2*3*2 = 60
step 2 : divide 2497 by 60 = remainder is 37
step 3. find difference of 60 and 37 = 23
step 4 : add 23 to 2497 and now it is divisible
by 60, so it is divisible by each of the four
numbers. Answer=23

.The maximum number of students among
them 1001 pens and 910 pencils can be
distributed in such a way that each student
gets same number of pens and pencils is ?

Solution : - find HCF of 1001 and 910


divide 1001 by 910, remainder is 91, 910 is
divisible by 91 so HCF is 91
the number of students is 91 answer

LCM of two numbers is 48..The
numbers are in ratio 2:3.
The sum of numbers is

The two numbers are 2X and 3X


2*3*X = 48 or X = 8
the two numbers are : 16 and 24
the sum of the numbers = 40 answer

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 13
LCM and HCFof two numbers
are 84 and 21.If ratio of
two numbers is 1:4.Then largest
of two numbers is ?

The numbers are 1X and 4X and their HCF is


21 so the numbers are 21 and 84 respectively.
Answer =84

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 14
A positive number which when added to
1000 gives a sum ,
which is greater than when it is multiplied
by 1000.The positive integer is?

It will be 1. answer

5 DECEMBER 09 www.afterschool.tk 15
The sum of all possible two digit numbers formed
from three different one digit natural numbers when
divided by 9 / sum of digits?

Let us take 1,2,3 for each digit of the two digits, we


have 3 options, so total we have 3*3 =9 options.
9/3 = 3 times – so each digit is repeated 3 times.
Thus as a rule it will be 11 * 3 * (1+2+3) = 198 here.
Thus divided by 9 gives 22 and divided by 6 gives 33.
answer

How many terms are there in
2,4,6,8..........,1024?
It is a question on AP (Arithmetic progression).
Basic formula is :
Tn = a + (n-1)*d
a = first term, n= number of terms, d =
difference between two terms
1024 = 2 + (n-1)2
2n= 1024 or n =512 answer

The difference between compound
interest and simple interest for 3 years
@5% p.a. Can be found out by
multiplying the principal by ?
Let us assume the principal is 100.
simple interest = 15, so the amount will be 115.
compound interest = 100 *1.05*1.05*1.05 =
=115.76
Thus the difference between these is : .76
we can find the difference by multiplying the
principal with (.76/100) answer

th
Simple interest on a sum of money is 1/9
of sum and the number of years and the
rate % per annum are equal. What is rate?

Formula :( P*R*T)/100 = interest


p=principal, r=rate, t=time, here r=t
let us assume principal = 9, interest = 1
9 * R^2 / 100 =1
R^2= 100/9
R=10/3 = 3.33 answer

The average temperature of the town in the first
four days of a month was 58 degrees. The average
for the second ,third,fourth and fifth days was
60 degree .If the temperature of the first and
fifth days were in the ratio 7:8 then what is
the temperature on the fifth day?

(T+W+T+F)-(M+T+W+T) = (60*4)-(58*4)= 8
st th
Difference is just due to 1 and 5 day.

V is 2 years older to T. T is 4 years younger
to H. H is of the same age as N. N is 1 year
younger to M. What is the age of M, if their
total age is 100 years?

T seems to be youngest, so let us start with T.


V=T+2, H = T+4, N = T+4, M=T+5
Now let us add their age :
T+T+2+T+4+T+4+T+5 = 100
5T+15=100, or 5T=85 or T=17
the age of M = 17+5 = 22 answer
