The sum of three consecutive multiples of $‘5’$ is $45.$ Which is the smallest of the three multiples.
  • $10$
  • B
    $15$
  • C
    $20$
  • D
    $25$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$10$

Let $5x$ be the smallest multiple of $5.$
Then, the three consecutive multiples shall be $5x, 5x + 5$ and $5x + 10$
According to the question,
$5x + 5x + 5 + 5x + 10 = 45$
$\therefore 5x + 5x + 5x = 45 - 15$
$\therefore 15x = 30$
$\therefore x = 2$
$\therefore$ The Smallest multiple $= 5x = 5 × 2 = 10$

A streamer goes downstream and covers the distance between two ports in $5$ hours, while it covers the same distance upstream in $6$ hours. If the speed of the stream is $1\ km/h,$ find the speed of the streamer in still water and the distance between two ports.
  • A
    $18\ km/ hr$
  • $60\ km/ hr$
  • C
    $15\ km/ hr$
  • D
    $24\ km/ hr$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$60\ km/ hr$

 Given,
Speed of the stream in still water $= 1\ km/ hr$
Let speed of the streamer $= x \ km/ hr$
Speed downstream $= (x + 1)\ km/ hr$
Speed upstream $= (x - 1)\ km/ hr$
According to the given condition,
$(x + 1) × 5 = (x - 1) × 6$
$5x + 5 = 6x - 6$
$x = 11$
Hence, Speed of streamer in still water is $11\ km/ hr$ and
Distance between two ports $= (11 + 1) × 5 = 60\ km/ hr.$

    $50^\circ $
Answer
Correct option: A.
$90^\circ $

 Let the angles be $4x$ and $5x.$ Third angle $= 4x + 5x = 9x$
We have,
$4x + 5x + 9x = 180^\circ $
$x = 10^\circ $
$\therefore$ Third angle $= 9x = 9 \times 10^\circ = 90^\circ $

The ratio of two numbers is $3 : 8$ and their difference is $115.$ The largest number is:
  • A
    $69$
  • B
    $115$
  • $184$
  • D

Answer
Correct option: C.
$184$
 Let the smaller number $= x$ and the greater number $= y.$
Given that their ratio is $3 : 8.$
$yx = 83​ $
$⇒ x = 83y​ (i)$
The given difference $= 115.$
Then,$ y - x = 115$
$⇒ x = y - 115 (ii)$
Comparing $(i)$ and $(ii),$
$83y ​= y - 115$
$⇒ 5y = 920$
$⇒ y = 184$
So, the greater number is $184.$

$X + 2$

$X$ plus an odd number will always equal an even number if $x$ is odd.
Vice versa is true if $x$ is even.
Think about it: If $x = 1 (1$ is an odd number$),$ the next odd numbers would be $3, 5, 7, 9,$ etc.
Therefore, $x + 2$ would be the next odd number.

Let the number be $x.$
$\therefore\frac{4}{5}\text{x}=\frac{3}{4}\text{x}+4$
$\Rightarrow\frac{4}{5}\text{x}=\frac{3\text{x}+16}{4}$
$\Rightarrow16\text{x} = 15\text{x} + 80$

  • A
    $56$
  • B
    $52$
  • $48$
  • D
    $36$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$48$

 Let the number of boys in the class be $x.$
Then, the number of girls will be $(x - 8).$
The equation becomes:
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{\text{x}-8}=\frac{7}{5}$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x} = 7\text{x} - 56$
$\Rightarrow5\text{x} -7\text{x} = -56$
$\Rightarrow -2\text{x} = -56$
$\Rightarrow \text{x} = \frac{-56} {-2} = 28$
Therefore, the number of boys is $28.$
Number of girls $= ( \text{x}- 8) = 28 -8 =20$
Total strength of the class $= 28 + 20 = 48$

The solution of which of the following equations is neither a fraction nor an integer:

    $3x + 2 = 5x + 2$
  • B
    $4x - 18 = 2$
  • $4x + 7 = x + 2$
  • D
    $5x - 8 = x + 4$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$4x + 7 = x + 2$
$a.$ Given linear equation is $3x + 2 = 5x + 2$
$3x - 5x = 2 - 2$
$-2x = 0$
$\frac{-2\text{x}}{-2}=\frac{0}{-2}$
$x = 0$
Hence, $x = 0$ is an integer.
$b.$ Given linear equation is
$4x - 18 = 2$
$4x = 2 + 18$
$4x = 20$
$\frac{4\text{x}}{4}=\frac{20}{4}$
$x = 5$
Hence, $x = 5$ is a positive integer.
$c.$ Given linear equation is
$4x + 7 = x + 2$
$4x - x = 2 - 7$
$3x = -5$
$\text{x}=-\frac{5}{3}$
Hence, $\text{x}=-\frac{5}{3}$ is neither a fraction nor an integer.
$d.$ Given linear equation is
$5x - 8 = x - 4$
$5x - x = 4 + 8$
$4x = 12$
$\frac{4\text{x}}{4}=\frac{12}{4}$
$x = 3$
Hence, $x = 3$ is a positive integer.
Option $(c),$ satisfies the condition.

Answer
Correct option: A.
$112$

 Let the three consecutive multiplies of $7$ be $7x, (7x + 7), (7x + 14)$ where $x$ is a natural number.
According to question,
$7x + (7x + 7) + (7x + 14) = 357$
$21x + 21 = 357$
$21(x + 1) = 357$
$\frac{21(\text{x}+1)}{21}=\frac{357}{21}$
$x + 1 = 17$
$x = 17 - 1$
$x = 16$
Hence, the smallest multiple of $7$ is $7 × 16$ i.e., $112.$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$24$ days

$ X's$ one day's work $=\frac{1}{12}$
Let, $Y$ work for $x$ days
$\therefore$ $Y's$ one day's work $=\frac{1}{\text{x}}$​
One day work by $X$ and $Y$ together
$\frac{1}{12}+\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{8}$
$\frac{1}{\text{x}}=\frac{1}{8}-\frac{1}{12}=\frac{1}{24}$
$\therefore x = 24$ days

After $21$ years, Manish will be $4$ times as old is he is now, What is his present age$?$
  • A
    $6$
  • $7$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $8$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$7$
Let Manish's present age be $y$ years
So, after $21$ years, his age will be $= (y + 21)$ years.
As per the question,
$\Rightarrow y + 21 = 4y$
$\Rightarrow 21 = 4y - y$
$\Rightarrow 3y = 21$
$\Rightarrow y = 21$
Therefore, his present age is $7$ years.

  • B
    $-\frac{2}{3}$
  • $\frac{2}{3}$
  • D
    $-\frac{3}{2}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{1}{4}(\text{x}-2)+\frac{2}{3}(\text{2x}-1)=\frac{5}{6}\text{x}+2$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{4}+\frac{\text{2}}{4}+\frac{\text{4x}}{4}+\frac{\text{2}}{3}=\frac{\text{5x}}{6}+\frac{\text{10}}{6}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{x}}{4}+\frac{\text{4x}}{3}-\frac{\text{5x}}{6}=\frac{\text{10}}{6}-\frac{\text{2}}{4}-\frac{\text{2}}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{4x+16x-10x}}{12}=\frac{\text{20-6-8}}{12}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{9x}}{12}=\frac{\text{6}}{12}$
$\Rightarrow\text{9x}=6$

According to the question we can write as $\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)\text{x}+\text{20x}$
On rearranging $\text{x}-\Big(\frac{2}{3}\Big)\text{x}=20$
Now taking the $L.C.M$ od $1$ and $3$ is $3$
$\frac{(\text{3x - 2x})}{ 3=20}$
$\frac{\text{x}}{3=20}$
Again by transposing $x = 60$

Answer
Correct option: A.
$x + (x + 1) = 71$

 If $x$ is one number, then $x + 1$ would be the next consecutive number. Since the sum of the two consecutive numbers is $71,$ we can say,
$x + (x + 1) = 71$
$2x + 1 = 71$
$2x = 70$
$x = 35,$ so $x + 1 = 36$

  • A
    $40$
  • $10$
  • C

 Perimeter of a rectangle $= 40\ cm$
Width $= 10\ cm$
Let the length be $x.$
Perimeter of rectangle $= 2($length $+$ width$)$
$40 = 2(x + 10)$
$\frac{40}{2} = \text{x} + 10$
$20 = x + 10$
$x = 20 - 10 = 10$
Thus, the length is also $10\ cm.$
Hence, we can say, that the given rectangle is basically a square, with all its sides equal.

The root of the equation $2y = 5(3 + y)$ is:
  • A
    $\text{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{5}$
  • $-\text{5}$
  • D
    $-\frac{1}{5}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$-\text{5}$
$2\text{y} = 5 (3 + \text{y})$
$\Rightarrow2\text{y} = 15 + 5\text{y}$
$\Rightarrow5\text{y} – 2\text{y} = -15$
$\Rightarrow\text{3y} = - 15$
$\Rightarrow\text{y}= - \frac{15}{3}= - 5$

$16, 17, 18$
Let the three consecutive integers be $x, x + 1, x + 2$
$x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 51$
$3x + 3 = 51$
$3x = 51 - 3$
$\text{x} = \frac{48}{3} = 16$

If a number increased by $8\%$ of itself gives $135,$ then that number is:
  • $125$
  • B
    $112$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    None
Answer
Correct option: A.
$125$

Given, a number increased by $8\%$ of itself gives $135.$
Thus, $x + 8\%$ of $x = 135$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{108x}}{100}=135$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=135\times\frac{100}{108}=125$
Thus, the number is $125.$

A number consists of two digits whose sum is $8.$ If $18$ is added to the number, its digits are interchanged. Find the number:
  • $35$
  • B
    $63$
  • C
    $53$
  • D
    $92$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$35$

The number is $10x + y$
When digits are reversed, the number becomes $10y + x.$
We have,
$x + y = 8 (i)$
$10x + y + 18 = 10y + x$
$x - y + 2 = 0 (ii)$
Solving $(i)$ and $(ii),$ we get
$x = 3, y = 5$
$\therefore$ The number is $35.$

$28$ years

 Let the number be $x.$
Let $x$ be the common multiple of the ages of A$$ and $B$.Then. the ages of $A$ and $B$ would be $5x$ and $7x,$ respectively.  
$\therefore\frac{5\text{x}+4}{7\text{x}-4}=\frac{3}{4}$
$\Rightarrow4( 5\text{x} +4 ) = 3 ( 7\text{x} + 4 )$
$\Rightarrow20\text{x} + 16 = 21\text{x} + 12$
$\Rightarrow16 - 12 = 21\text{x} - 20\text{x}$
